The Woman In My Life
Billy Gilman
The woman in my life wakes me up in the morning with a gentle touch
She kisses me and whispers: Darling, This day was made for us
The woman in my life has a way of smiling that can turn a grey sky
blue
It's just like her, without trying to make the whole world new

And shes there when I need her. My guardian angel
In the dark I can see her here by my side

The woman in my life catches me when I'm falling
And holds me like a baby when I'm hurt
No matter how high I climb she guides me safely back to earth

And she's there when I need her. My guardian angel
In the dark I can see her here by my side

The woman in my life says I'm the one she prayed for
And all she's ever gonna need
But she's the one my heart was made for
And that the way it's always gonna be

Now I understand just why my dad is crazy about the woman in my life

The Power Of Love
Celine Dion

The whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping tight are rolling like
thunder
Now as I look in your eyes I hold on to your body and feel each move
you make
Your voice is warm and tender. A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I am your lady and you are my man
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times it seems I'm far away
(But) Never wonder where I am 'cause I am always by your side

'Cause I am your lady and you are my man
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something, somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on is light years away

'Cause I am your lady and you are my man
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something, somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn of the power of love

Truly Madly Deeply
Savage Garden

I'll be your dream. I'll be your wish. I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope. I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning, a reason for living, a deeper meaning

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish to send it to heaven. Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers in lonely hours. The tears devour you

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me

Oh can't you see it baby? You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come

I'll be your dream. I'll be your wish. I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope. I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me

U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for
his calls to reduce the world's stockpile of nuclear weapons and
working for world peace.
The first African American to hold the country's highest office, Obama
has called for disarmament and worked to restart the stalled Middle
East peace process since taking office in January.
The prize worth 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.4 million) will be
handed over in Oslo on December 10.

The Four Pillars of Obamaism

Although it is still too early to speak of an "Obama Doctrine," four
trends, already apparent, will define the Obama administration's
approach to foreign affairs in the years ahead. They are:
Cosmopolitanism, Soft Power, Appeasement and Global Meliorism.

Cosmopolitanism: In his final book, Who Are We?, the late Samuel
Huntington defined the "Cosmopolitan" approach to foreign affairs as
one in which "the activities of Americans would more and more be
governed not by the federal and state governments, but by rules set by
international authorities, such as the United Nations, the World Trade
Organization, customary international law and global treaties and
regimes." That is, instead of leaving the rest of the world alone
unless the United States, or its allies, are directly threatened (the
conservative/nationalist approach to world affairs), or trying to make
the rest of the world more like the United States (the Wilsonian /Bush
approach), Cosmopolitan elites, "who increasingly identify with global
institutions norms and rules rather than national ones," try to make
the United States more like the rest of the world.

That Barack Obama is America's first Cosmopolitan President is already
evident from his trips abroad. Obama behaved not like an American
President determined to justify America's ways to a skeptical world,
but like a global citizen who just happens to be America's President,
and who shares the world's skepticism. Such an individual is more than
ready to identify America's faults (real or alleged) and apologize for
them, but has little to say in defense of American virtues, unless
they begin with "multi" -- as in multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-
cultural. The Obama administration has already announced that the U.S.
will run for a seat on the United Nations' viciously-biased Human
Rights Council. Look for a great deal more involvement with the United
Nations in the future.

Soft Power: The Kennedy School's Joseph Nye, who coined the term "soft
power" and wrote a book about it, defines it as "the ability to get
what you want through attraction rather than coercion or payments. It
arises from the attractiveness of a country's culture, political
ideals and policies. When our policies are seen as legitimate in the
eyes of others, our soft power is enhanced."

Obviously, Cosmopolitan elites are attracted to theories of Soft
Power, as it enables them to argue that by abandoning unilateral
actions in favor of a multi-lateral, U.N.- centered approach to
national security, we are actually strengthening America (by making
our policies "legitimate"), and not, as virtually our entire political
tradition asserts, weakening America by tying its hands. And Soft
Power doesn't just mean giving the U.N. a larger say in our affairs;
it also means making America a better place by lightening our "carbon
footprint" and becoming "greener," by pursuing greater economic
"justice" and redistributing wealth, and by abandoning arrogant
notions of American "Exceptionalism" and becoming a decent, non-
threatening Social Democracy -- a Sweden writ large. These actions, it
is argued, will so increase our Soft Power that our foes will realize
the errors of their ways and will "buy into" our values, thus enabling
us to regain our "world leadership" without firing a shot.

Of course, all this is pure moonshine. But as Angelo Codevilla points
out in Advice to War Presidents, Soft Power "is not about empowering
America but about making Americans do what people like Joseph Nye want
-- people such as [those who] meet at the Davos World Economic Forum,
teach at places like Harvard's Kennedy School, and rule the
prestigious media..." And, one might add, people such as currently
occupy the White House.

Appeasement: In his March message to the people and leaders of Iran,
President Obama offered "the promise of a new beginning" and declared
that "the United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its
rightful place in the community of nations," -- a striking departure
from the Bush Administration, which wanted the Islamic Republic of
Iran overthrown. The European Union's foreign policy chief, Javier
Solana, called President Obama's appeal "very constructive," which
means, of course, that it's actually very destructive. Should Obama's
initiative result in serious American-Iranian negotiations, look for
Tehran to put forward a long list of grievances, which the Obama
administration, conscious of the many wrongs we have supposedly
committed against Iran, will duly set out to appease. The difficulty,
however, will be to accord Shi'ite Iran its "rightful place" in the
international community without unduly alienating our traditional
Sunni "allies," Egypt and Saudi Arabia, both of whom loathe and fear
Iran. Fortunately, both Sunnis and Shi'ites hate Israel, so look to
the Obama administration to bash Israel as a way of appeasing Sunnis
and Shi'ites alike.

Global Meliorism: This is a truly bi-partisan American tradition,
which historian Walter McDougall has defined as "the socio-economic
and cultural expression of an American mission to make the world a
better place." President Truman embraced Global Meliorism when he
launched the Point Four program in 1949 -- "a bold new program [Truman
said] for making the benefits of our scientific advances and
industrial progress available for the improvement and growth of
underdeveloped areas," and President Eisenhower also endorsed Global
Meliorism in 1957, when he declared that "the freedom of nations can
be menaced not only by guns but by the poverty that communism can
exploit." The United States has been devoted to Global Meliorism ever
since, and while such critics as the late British economist, P.T.
Bauer, have denounced American foreign aid programs as doing more harm
than good, look to the Obama administration to step up foreign aid to
anti-American regimes in the hope of winning their friendship through
bribery. That this approach will fail goes without saying --
ideological enemies must be defeated, not co-opted -- but in the
meantime, President Obama and his team will be hailed for their bold
new thinking, their willingness to discard the stale orthodoxies of
the past, and their readiness to take risks for peace and face up to
the realities of a new century.

Look to these four approaches -- the essence of an emerging Obama
Doctrine -- to win our President a Nobel Peace Prize, even as the
world itself descends into chaos and war.

1.What is language for? Some people seem to think it is for practicing
grammar rules and learning lists of words--the longer the words the
better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas, for
communication.

  语言到底是用来干什么的呢?一些人认为它是用来操练语法规则和学习一大堆单词----而且单词越长越好。这个想法是错误的。语言是用来交换思想,进行交
流沟通的!

  2. The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as
often as possible.

  学习一门语言的方法就是要尽量多地练习说。

  3. A great man once said it is necessary to dill as much as
possible, and the more you apply it in real situations, the more
natural it will become.

  一位伟人曾说,反复操练是非常必要的,你越多的将所学到的东西运用到实际生活中,他们就变的越自然。

  4.Listening and imitating should always go together. Use the LIP
method! Listen-Imitate-Practice!

  听和模仿一定要同时做,使用"LIP"方法:听、模仿、操练! 到爱思我秀吧!

  5. Use all your senses to learn English. You must hear English, read
English, touch English, smell English, and taste English. Feel English
with your heart. Immerse yourself in this language. Begin to think in
English.

  运用一切感官学习英语。你必须听英语、说英语、触摸英语、闻英语,还要尝尝英语的味道。用心去感受英语。让自己沉浸在这门语言当中。学会用英语思
考。

  6. Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign
languages is just a piece of cake.

  放轻松!要有耐心,并且享受英语带来的乐趣!学习外语只不过是小菜一碟。

  7. Rome wasn't built in a day. Work harder and practice more.
Your hardworking will be rewarded by God one day. God is equal to
everyone!

  冰冻三尺,非一日之寒。更加努力的学习,更加勤奋的操练,你所付出的一切将会得到上帝的报答,上帝是公平的。

  8. Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly. Keep a small
English dictionary with you at all time. When you see a new word, look
it up. Think about the word--use it. in your mind, in a sentence.

  经常使用字典和语法指南。随身携带一本小英文字典,当你看到一个新字时就去查阅它,思考这个字----然后学着去用它,在你的心中,在一个句子
里。

  9. Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see
something, think of the English word of it; then think about the word
in a sentence.

 一有机会就努力去用英文来思考。看到某事时,想想它的英文单词;然后把它用到一个句子中去。

  10. Practice tenses as much as possible. When you learn a new verb,
learn its various forms.A thousand words will not leave so an deep
impression as one deed.

   尽可能多的操练时态。学习一个动词的时候,要学习它的各种形态。千言万语不如一个行动

 11. I would also like to learn more about the culture behind the
language. When you understand the cultural background, you can better
use the language.

  我想学习和了解更多关于语言背后的文化知识,当你理解了文化背景,你就能更好地运用语言。

  12.Keep an English journal.Try to write a few sentences about your
day and then blurt them out as many times as possible before you go to
sleep. This will teach you to "think" in English. This habit will also
help you live a move organized and fruitful life. Besides, you will
score higher on your composition exams!

  坚持写英语日记。写几个句子描述一下你的一天,然后在睡觉前尽可能多地大声操练。这个方法可以教会你用英语"思考"。这个习惯还可以帮助你生活得更
有条理、更有成效。此外,考试时作文你也可以拿更高的分!

  13.Choose materials that interest you! Reading about things that you
like will naturally make learning more enjoyable and efficient.
Everything is easier if you enjoy doing it!

  选择让你感兴趣的资料!阅读你喜欢的东西自然会使学习变得更愉快、更有效。你喜欢做,事情就会更容易!

  14.Make your friends proud by teaching them some English sentences.
You can become an excellent teacher through tutoring your friends.
Teaching is a great way to learn! Also remember, learning English can
make people happier, feel younger and live longer!

  教你的朋友们英语,让他们感到骄傲。教朋友的过程中你会成为一名出色的老师。教学是学习的极好途径!别忘了,英语学习会让人更快乐、更年轻、活得更
长久!

  15.Don't be afraid to ask for help. The more times you ask for help,
the more powerful your English will become. Never hesitate to ask!
Learn as much as you can from as many different people as you can! An
eager student will always find a teacher!

  不要害怕寻求帮助。你请求别入帮越多的忙,你的英语就会越厉害。不要犹豫,尽管发问!尽可能从不同的人身上学到更多的东西!求知欲强的学生总是会找
到老师!

  16.Keep English constantly in your mind by listening, speaking of
reading every day! Constant exposure will make it much easier to
master this language. If you review only once a week, you will have a
hard time remembering what you've learned.

  每天听,每天说,每天读,让英语时刻留在你脑中!持续的接触会让你更容易掌握这门语言。如果你只是一个星期复习一回,要记住你学的东西就太难
了。

  17.Keep a positive attitude about English. If you think of English
as a burden, it will be one! If you think of English as fun and
exciting, you will practice more often and make progress more
quickly!

  学英语要有积极的态度。如果你认为英语是个负担,它就是个负担!如果你认为英语有趣又刺激,你就会更经常地练习,进步得更快!

  18.Learning any language takes a lot of effort, but never give up.
We will hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope!

 学习任何语言都是需要花费很多努力,但绝不要放弃。从绝望中寻找希望,人生终将辉煌!

We are proud of our great motherland
Alas, what a nation

Once stricken by impoverishment

Overcome by failings

Ridden by sufferings

And trampled by turbulence

Ah, what a country

Today filled by riches

Marked with successes

Possessed by happiness

And promised with prosperity

Such nation is the Chinese all the greater

Of which I, albeit abroad, am a lucky and proud member

This country is China but not any other

For which I have so profound a love for ever and ever

So before you, my Chinese and my China

I wish you a longevity from the bottom of my heart

And before others, such as America and Canada

哪十句英文脏话绝不能说?

1. I'm so fed up with your BS. Cut the crap. 我受够了你的废话,少说废话吧。
  美女(美国的女人)是不喜欢说shit这个不雅的字的,所以她们就说shoot,或是BS(=Bull shit)来表示她们还是很有气质的.
"Cut your crap."是当你听到对方废话连篇,讲个不停时,你就可以说, "Cut the crap."相当于中文里的废话少话。
 2. Hey! wise up! 放聪明点好吗?
  当别人作了什么愚蠢的事时,你可以说, "Don't be stupid"或是"Don't be silly."但是这是非常不礼貌的说法。

较客气一点的说法就是, wise up!它就相当于中文里的放聪明点。你也可以用坚酸刻薄的语气说. Wise up, please。然后故意

please的尾音拉得长长的。
  也有人会说, Hey! grow up。意思就是你长大一点好不好?例如有人二十岁了却还不会自己补衣服,你就可以说Hey! grow
up。
这根wise up是不是也差不多呢?
  3. Put up or shut up. 要吗你就去做,不然就给我闭嘴。
  有些人就是出那张嘴,只会出意见,此时就可以说, Put up or shut up。要注意的是,Put up字典上是查不到"自己去做"的

思,但是见怪不怪,很多笔记本上的用法都是字典上查不到的。比方说今天你在写程式,有人明明不懂却喜欢在一旁指挥你,这时候你就可以说, Put
up or shut up。
  有时为了要加强shut up的语气,老美会把它说成, shut the f**k up。这句话常在二人火气很大时的对话中可以听到,例如电

The house on the haunted hill女主角身陷鬼屋之中,其它人又七嘴八舌时,她就很生气地说了一句, shut the
f**k up。
  这句话也让我想到一句成语, walk the walk, talk the talk,也就是说到就要作到,有点像是中文里知行要合一的意
思,
或是只说, walk the talk也可以。
 4. You eat with that mouth? 你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗?
  别人对你说脏话,你就回敬他这一句,言下之意,就是你的嘴那么脏,你还用这张嘴吃饭。还有一种说法, "You kiss your
Momma
with that mouth?"就是说你也是用这脏嘴亲你***吗?所以下次记得如果有老美对你说脏话,记得不要再Fxxx回去,保持风度,说

句, "You eat with that mouth?"就扯平了
  5. You are dead meat. 你死定了。
  我们说你完蛋了,可以说"You are dead."或是像这样说"You are dead meat."意思都是一样的,比如说你跟别人说

不淮碰我的东西,但有人他就是老爱用你的东西,下次要是再被你抓到,你就可以说, "You are dead meat."
  6. Don't you dare! How dare you! 你好大的胆子啊!
  这句话跟中文里"你好大的胆子"是一样,可以在两种场合说,第一种是很严肃的场合,比如说小孩子很调皮,讲又讲不听,父母就会说,
"Don't you dare!"那意思就是这个小孩要当心点,不然等会就要挨打了。另一种场合是开玩笑,比如有人跟你说我跟某网友约会去了,你
说"Don't you dare?"就有点开玩笑的语气. (你不怕被恐龙给吃了吗?)
  Dare在英文里还有许多有趣的用法,例如, "You dare me."或是"I double dare you."还有一种游戏叫
Truth or Dare,限于篇幅,容后再作介绍。
  7. Don't push me around. 不要摆布我。
  这个词很有意思,把你推来推去,作摆布解释,如果有人指挥你一下作这个一下作那个,你就可以用这一句Hey! Don't push me
around。通常当我讲"Don't push me around."时,我还会想到一个字bossy. Bossy就是说像是老板一样,喜欢指

别人。例如,"You are so bossy. I don't like that."
  这句话也可以单讲, "Don't push me."或是"Don't push me any further."还有一句根push有关的

语,叫push the button,意思就是,指使, *纵。例如, "I know why you are doing this,
someone is pushing your button!"

如何用英语优雅骂人
  1. Stop complaining! 别发牢骚!
  2. You make me sick! 你真让我恶心!
  3. What's wrong with you? 你怎么回事?
  4. You shouldn't have done that! 你真不应该那样做!
  5. You're a jerk! 你是个废物/混球!
  6. Don't talk to me like that! 别那样和我说话!
  7. Who do you think you are? 你以为你是谁?
  8. What's your problem? 你怎么回事啊?
  9. I hate you! 我讨厌你!
  10. I don't want to see your face! 我不愿再见到你!
  11. You're crazy! 你疯了!
  12. Are you insane/crazy/out of your mind? 你疯了吗?(美国人绝对常用!)
  13. Don't bother me. 别烦我。
  14. Knock it off. 少来这一套。
  15. Get out of my face. 从我面前消失!
  16. Leave me alone. 走开。
  17. Get lost。滚开!
  18. Take a hike! 哪儿凉快哪儿歇着去吧。

美国啦啦队趣闻发展史

每次看美国队比赛,总有美女啦啦队在一旁呐喊助威,风头直逼场上比赛的队员。那么你知道美国啦啦队是怎么来的吗?

Just as any anything else, cheerleading has quite a history behind
it.
In ancient times spectators cheered for runners in races held during
the first ever Olympic Games in ancient Greece. In the 1860's
students
in Great Britain began cheering at competitive sporting events and
soon the idea spread to the United States. At Princeton in New
Jersey,
in 1865 the first pep club was formed and they created the first-
known
cheer:


"Tah rah rah


Tiger Tiger Tiger


Sis sis sis


Boom boom boom


Aaaahhhhh!


Princton! Princeton! Princeton!"


The history of organized cheerleading started in 1898. The University
of Minnesota was having a pitiful football season. One fan decided to
write a letter to the Ariel, The official paper of the university of
Minnesota,and complain. He wrote "Everyone's been crying, 'Keep up
your spirits, and we will have a winning team bye and bye.' I say
give
us a winning team and our spirits will take care of themselves."


Everyone agreed that something had to be done and soon a meeting was
called of all University of Minnesota students and faculty before the
game with Madison Wisconsin. One of the University's professors
presented a brilliant scientific thesis on fan support. He stated
that
the collective stimuli of several hundred students focused on sending
positive energy in the team's direction would help the team win. The
professor concluded with a rousing cry: "Go to Madison! Go to
Madison!
Apply the summation of stimuli!"


The game came and went, and the Gophers got killed 28-0. The cheer
didn't work. It just didn't roll off of the tongue the right way.
Something different had to be done to get the Gopher fans riled up.
This is where Jack Campbell, a then first-year medical student,
stepped in and he became the first ever cheerleader. Someone needs to
lead the yells with organized cheering, he explained. And there
needed
to be variety, not just "He's all right" and "They're all right." So,
the next game, Campbell led the crowd in a cheer that marked history.
Thus, cheerleading in the United States was born.


Cheerleading, believe it or not, was dominated by men in its early
years. However, when large numbers of young men went off to fight in
World War II, the tables turned. More than 90 percent of cheerleaders
were female from that point on.


The evolution of cheerleading to a sport, again led by The University
of Minnesota, started in the 1920's with the inclusion of gymnastics
and tumbling routines. This helped cheerleaders to become known for
their athletic ability. The 1930's brought on the growth of
showmanship in cheerleading, and cheerleading became more
entertaining
to watch. Widespread use of the megaphone started in the 1900's and
the famous pom pon was introduced in the 1950's by Lawrence Herkimer.


Herkimer has done so much for cheerleading in the United States. He
founded the National Cheerleading Association at Southern Methodist
University after the holding of the first and second cheerleading
clinics in 1946 and 1947. He also taught at the first cheerleading
camp at Sam Houston College. The first year fifty two girls attended
and by the next year the size of the camp had grown to 350. Herkimer
had no idea that he would end up with 20,000 girls attending
cheerleading camp in the summertime. Herkimer also was the inventor
of
a very popular cheerleading jump which was named "the herkie" after
him.


和其他任何事物一样,啦啦队的背后也颇有一段历史。在古希腊第一次奥林匹克运动会所举办的赛跑比赛中,古时的观众们就曾为赛跑者欢呼喝彩。到了19世

60年代,大不列颠帝国的学子们开始在竞技体育赛事中欢呼助威,随后不久这一形式就传到了美国。1865年,在新泽西州的普林斯顿大学,第一个(旨在

造体育比赛刺激气氛的)活力俱乐部诞生了,他们发明了已知最早的欢呼口号:
"Tah rah rah


Tiger Tiger Tiger


Sis sis sis


Boom boom boom


Aaaahhhhh!


Princton! Princeton! Princeton!"


有组织的啦啦队活动始于1898年。当时明尼苏达大学正经历一个令人同情的橄榄球赛季。一个球迷决定给明尼苏达大学的正式刊物《埃里厄尔》写信发发

骚。他写道:"每个人都在呐喊:'你们要振作精神!我们迟早会成为一支胜利之队。'而我要说,赐予我们一支胜利的队伍,那么我们的士气自然就会高
涨。"


所有人一致认为需要为此采取一些措施,不久后,在与威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校比赛前夕,明尼苏达大学召开了一次由全体师生参加的大会。在会上,大学里的

位教授就球迷的支持作用做了一番极为精彩的论述,他指出集中数百名学生的激情全心为球队的奋斗目标注入积极的动力,将会帮助球队获胜。教授还归纳出一

鼓舞人心的口号:"战胜麦迪逊!战胜麦迪逊!拿出所有激情!"


比赛很快就结束了,明尼苏达人以0比28的比分惨败。欢呼没起到任何作用,因为呐喊口号实在是不顺口。看来必须采用其他办法来让明尼苏达队的球迷兴奋

来。此时一位名叫杰克*坎贝尔的医学系新生加入进来,他成为有史以来第一位啦啦队长。他解释说需要有人引导大家有组织地齐声呐喊欢呼,而且口号也应该

多种多样的,而不能只是"他很棒"或"他们棒极了"这样的话。于是,在接下来的比赛中,坎贝尔带领大家进行的欢呼为啦啦队的发展写下了新的历史篇章。

这样,啦啦队在美国诞生了。


信不信由你,早期的啦啦队以男性为主。然而,随着第二次世界大战中大批青年男子奔赴战场,这一局面也随之转变了。自此以后,超过百分之九十的啦啦队员

女性担当。


啦啦队发展成为一项运动也是由明尼苏达大学发起的,从20世纪20年代开始,他们将体操和翻滚动作融入到欢呼呐喊当中。啦啦队员也开始因自己的运动技

而为人所知。20世纪30年代,啦啦队运动开始向表演性发展,变得越来越有娱乐观赏性。扩音器于20世纪开始被广泛使用,而著名的彩球手摇花也于20

纪50年代被劳伦斯*何其莫用到啦啦队当中。


何其莫为美国啦啦队的发展贡献颇多,他于1946年和1947年分别开设了第一、第二届啦啦队培训班之后,又在南卫斯理公会大学成立了国家啦啦队运动

会。他还曾经在山姆*休斯顿大学的啦啦队营中授课。第一年有52名女生参加,到了第二年人数便增加到了350人。令何其莫万万没有想到的是,到了鼎盛

期,竟然有两万名女生参加啦啦队营。同时,他还是一种非常流行的啦啦队跳跃动作的创始人,这一动作也以他的名字命名为"何其莫跳法"。

热门电影中十个高频句子
1、"我请客":觉得我们常用pay这个词,如Let me pay it for you。这里列举三种说法:I am buying;This
is on me;This is all my bill。

2、"收买某人":有个比较正式的词叫bribe,名词时为"贿赂"的意思,动词时就有"收买"之意。既然提到了"买",那么我们能不能用上buy
呢?
当然,那就是buy sb off。


3、"向前看!":我们会说Look forward!而美语里有个更贴切的说法是Eyes front!"眼睛朝前",是不是很生动?


4、"头等大事":你会怎么翻译呢?The most important thing吗?看这个吧"It's on the top of my
list"。


5、"看在主的份上,你就......":两种说法,其一是For the love of God,另外For God's sake(sake的意思是缘
故、关系)二者之中,后者更常用


6、"我不是傻子!":I am not a fool?对,语法完全正确。但再看这个I am no fool。比上面的只少两个字母,但是不是感

不一样?同样的道理,我们常说I have no idea,而不常说I dont have any idea。


7、short hairs:是说"短头发"吗?呵呵,它就是我们说的"小辫子"!


8、one-time thing:帅哥跟一美女过了一夜,回来后室友问帅哥:Do you really love her?帅哥回答:Oh,
it was just a one-time thing!那么one-time thing是什么呢?我就不罗嗦喽!


9、She knew red was her color。"她知道红色是她的颜色"?恰当的翻译是:她知道自己和红色很相配。Then,
what's your color?


10、"停电":No electricity?恩,够直白!其实提到"电",老外更多是用power,停电就可以是Ther is a power
failure或Power goes out。

外国人听不懂的"中式英语"

1. 有他这颗扫帚星,什么事情都办不成。

[误] With a comet like him, nothing can be accomplished.


[正] With a jinx like him, nothing can be accomplished.


注:"扫帚星"是中国人对"慧星"(comet)的俗称,因其后面拖着一条像扫帚一样的长尾巴而得名。在中国古代,"扫帚星"被认为是灾难的预兆,并

用来比喻不吉利的人或事;祸根:(person or thing that is thought to bring)bad luck(to
sb/sth);curse。英语的comet 虽然没有这层含义,但却有一个对应的说法,即jinx。


例:There's a jinx on/Someone's put a jinx on this car: it's always
giving me trouble. (这辆汽车上有什么妨人的东西,总给我找麻烦。)


2.萝卜青菜,各有所爱。


[误] Some prefer radish but others prefer cabbage.


[正] Tastes differ.


注:Tastes differ/vary .是句英语谚语,除此以外,原句还可翻译成 No dish suits all tastes.或
You can never make everyone happy. 等。此外,我们还可以这样说:One man's meat is
another man's poison. 总之,应采取意译。


3.他一向嘴硬,从不认错。


[误] He has always got a hard mouth and never admit a fault.


[正] He never says uncle.


注:say (cry) uncle: to give up or in; to surrender; to admit defeat.
Mainly used by boys, as when fighting. 这句话主要是男孩们打架时的用语,当一方想制服另一方时,就用命令

口气说:"Say uncle!"这时,有的孩子为了表示不服输,就是不说。后来,say uncle 就成了"服输"的代名词,而 not
say
uncle 就相当于"嘴硬"了。


4.老师很喜欢这个嘴甜的小姑娘。


[误] The teacher likes this sweet-mouthed little girl very much.


[正] The teacher likes this honey-lipped little girl very much.


注:中国人喜欢说"嘴甜",但 honey-lipped 更符合英美人的语言习惯。


5.同学们都很讨厌他,因为他经常拍老师的马屁。


[误] The students all dislike him because he often pats the teacher's
ass.


[正] The students all dislike him because he often licks the teacher's
boots.


注:以前在欧洲,臣民见到国王与王后往往要亲吻他们的靴子。后来,人们将 lick the boots 引申为"为了某种目的而讨好某人",它与汉

的"拍马屁"含义一样。在美国英语中,"拍马屁"还有另一种说法,即 polish the apple,源于以前的学生用擦亮的苹果来讨好老师。


6.你听说了吗?迈克把他的女朋友给甩了。


[误] Have you ever heard that Mike broke up with his girlfriend?


[正] Have you ever heard that Mike dumped his girlfriend?


注:break up with sb. 虽然表示"与某人分手了",但并没说明是谁先提出来的。而 dump 的原意指"倾倒垃圾",用在这里则表

像倒垃圾一样地甩掉。


7.我们要把祖国建设成为社会主义的现代化强国。


[误] We will build our motherland into a socialist modern powerful
country.


[正] We will build our motherland into a modern powerful socialist
country.


注:形容词作为修饰语在汉语和英语中都很常用,但使用的先后次序却有所不同。在英语中我们一般遵循"靠近原则",即越能说明本质属性的修饰词越靠近它

修饰的名词,当从这一点看不出区别时,就靠词的长短来决定,短的在前,长的在后。原文中最能说明"国家"本质的定语是"社会主义的",所以
socialist 要最靠近它所修饰的中心词。


8.人都是这山望着那山高,对自己的现状没有满意的时候。


[误] Almost all people think that the other mountain is higher than
the
one he's standing on. They never feel satisfied with what they've
already got.


[正] Almost all people think that the grass is greener on the other
hill. They never feel satisfied with what they've already got.


注:"这山望着那山高"是指人不满足于现状的心理,它在英语中已经有了现成的说法,即 the grass is greener on the
other hill(他山的草更绿),因此我们借用即可,这样既方便又更有利于与西方人沟通。


9.转战南北


[误] fight south and north


[正] fight north and south


注:在地理方位的表达习惯上,中英文有一定的区别。中国人习惯于先"东西"后"南北",而且在涉及"南北"时,习惯于先说"南",再说"北",
如:"南
征北战"、"南来北往"等。而英美人与此正好相反,如"江苏在中国的东南部"英文是 Jiangsu is in the south-east
of China, 而"新疆在中国的西北部"应译为 Xinjiang is in the north-west of China。


10.这个教授教得很烂。


[误] The professor teaches badly.


[正] The professor is so terrible.


注:有人认为第二句的意思是"这个教授很可怕",其实不然。英语中 terrible 意思很灵活,例如:feel terrible 指身体"不

服"; The food is terrible 则是说食物"难吃极了"。而第一句纯属中文式的表达。

用英语赞美别人让别人接受你!


在某些文化中,恭维可能并不受用,但是在讲英语的国家,你会发现简单一句赞美的话能带来很多的好处。并不需要花很多的工夫。
找到合适的赞美方式其实并不象看起来那么难。一点灵敏度,一点直觉及观察那很快你就能成为最受大家欢迎的人。

最简单的赞扬方式是以某物体为目标。例如,和朋友一起时,你可以用非常随便的口气说"I like your shoes"或是"Nice
haircut"。这样说不会有任何的问题同时也可以成为社交场合不错的开场白。只要找到一个有趣的目标并表达赞美即可。


在商务场合,赞美也同样受用。如果你的一位同事或团队成员在某个项目上边线出色,为什么不让他们知道你对他们的赞同呢。只要用和工作相关的方式及肯定

形容词,那就行了。一句随意的"great job!","nice effort"或是"good work"就能让你和他们保持良好有效的工作

系。


万一你是拼命想出某物来赞美的,那就在你后悔之前再三考虑一下然后说出口。例如,如果有人穿了一套难看的衣服,不要直接告诉他们。而是,先
说"that dress looks really nice",然后再表达你的真实意见 "...but the black pants
you wore last week were really, really amazing, you should wear them
more often."


最后,对你以后的赞美的一句忠告:要避免对类似体重或身体特征方面的敏感话题。就算你的本意很好,但是这类的赞美通常会被人误解。还有你决不能恭喜别

怀孕却发现其实别人只是在最佳的几个月里边胖了。


还有,把无生命的物体或事物作为目标很容易让人接受。当然,在说的时候表示出你的真诚总是能帮到你!

If you want to learn English well, of course you can. The key is to study carefully and to speak English as often as you can. With some work, you can discover how to learn English .

English is a difficult language to learn, because you need to learn it in all areas, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. Here are some things that can help you learn English more easily in each area.

Reading

Of course, reading is one area you in how to learn English well, but this is something you can learn on your own quite effectively, outside of the classroom or even around other people. Keep a dictionary with you so that you can look up unfamiliar words. Then, you can write these words down in a notebook and use them in a conversation so that when you try to use them again, they will come to you much more easily.

Newspapers, magazines and books all help you learn English well. If you're just starting out, try reading children's books to start. This is especially helpful for people just starting to learn English. There are some books specifically written for people just starting to learn English; the words are quite simple and yet effective enough that if you use them, you can learn to speak simple English quite quickly.

If your English is more advanced, you can try reading from magazings books and newspapers . With these sources, English is more difficult, but they will challenge you if your English is advanced enough that you need more interesting things to read.

When you first begin to read English, don't try to understand every word. Instead, simply try to get a general idea of what you are reading; other words in the sentence will help you do this. If you don't understand the first time you read something, you can always go back later and use your dictionary to look up the words you don't quite know.

Writing

Another idea in how to learn English well is with writing. When you write, you can practice your English as effectively as you do when you read, only more so. This is because you reinforce your understanding of the language by writing it, which is a physical movement. For best practice, write something every day in English, even if it's a letter to a friend, or a simple message. You can also keep a diary, and use your English skills to write down what happened to you during your day. Start with simple sentences and as you get better, make sentences longer and more complicated.

You can also use the Internet this way, because the Internet will let you "talk" with other people simply by writing. You can visit chat rooms, or write a blog . All of these things help you learn English through writing. When you write, you can also take another look at words you have learned in the past, and use them in sentences to make sure you know them well.

As you learn, you can also look at a variety of writing topics that help you improve your writing skill with graphics and sound. For those who are advanced, I highly recommend a whole range of tools to help both students and teachers improve their writing skills onlin.This will also help you continue to refine your English and become even more effective in the language.

Speaking

One of the best ways in regard to how to learn English well is to speak. Speak as much as you can in English, even though you may be uncomfortable at first. Pronunciaction with a whole series of activities to practise individual sounds, minimal pairs, tongue-twisters and dictation is probably the best way to improve your English quickly. You can listen to sample dialogues from everyday situations and get the chance to practise and they can help you improve your language as well. As you practice, your English will improve.

Surround yourself with English- speaking people every day so that you have no choice but to learn the language. This will also help you begin to think in English, which in turn will improve your speaking and other English language skills. As you get better, you will longer have to translate from your language to English or vice versa as you speak. Even if you're not sure, use sentences that sound right to you. These are most often the right ones to use; if your English is not quite right sometimes, you shouldn't worry. Your English-speaking friends will help you and correct you if you ask them to. And you shouldn't worry about being embarrassed; your English-speaking friends will understand that you are doing your best to speak their language, which is quite an accomplishment.

Listening

Of course, listening is one of the most skills you need when we speak about how to learn English well. If you are in a country that speaks mostly English, of course you are going to be listening to it all day long. In turn, this is going to help you learn to speak the language effectively, because you will learn to adapt to the speech and language around you. You can then turn this into written language skills as well; oftentimes, listening to everyday English conversation categorized from easy to difficult is the best way to learn. If you are a silent listener at first, you can then gain your confidence and begin to speak it when you feel that you understand it well.

Of course, simply watching English-speaking television or listening to music and main news stories in Real Audio format along with well-illustrated text versions in the English language is also going to help you learn. It is really good to listen to a collection of authentic listening passages at three levels .All they will also help you learn English well,get pronunciation correct and speech patterns down the right way as well.

One of the best ways to convey exactly how you feel about someone is
through written words. Finding the perfect way to say what you mean -
when it comes to love - can be a challenging task for anyone. So,
we've gathered some helpful tips. Go ahead; spill your heart onto a
piece of paper. Whether through a one-line sentiment, a poem, or some
prose - let them know how you feel!

Love quotes

People have been writing about love for centuries. Love quotes can
capture exactly how you feel about your sweetheart in just a few
words. Make up your own, or borrow a few of these to add to your
letter.

Those who love deeply never grow old.
深爱者青春永驻。

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together
in the same direction. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
爱情不是双目对视,而是望着同一个目标。

For an instant, love can transform the world."
爱情可以改变世界。

It's not being in love that makes me happy. It's being in love with
YOU that makes me happy.
并非爱使我幸福,而是与你相爱使我幸福。

If there is anything better than to be loved, it is loving.
如果还有比被爱更好的事情,那就是付出爱。

Did I tell you today how much I love you?
今天我告诉过你我有多爱你吗?

Creative expression

Think a letter is too boring? Here are 10 ways to get your message
across and have it remembered.

1. Write your message in magnetic letters on their refrigerator.

2. Create a Letter Hunt.
Leave a note on his/her computer telling him/her you have written him/
her a love letter, but it has to be found. Give a clue. Clue to clue
to clue. Make your lover search for the prize.

3. Send your love roses according to how many letters he/she has in
their name.
On each flower, attach a note that uses the letters of their name, as
the first letter of the message. For example: "Sean." The first rose
could say, "Sometimes I get starry-eyed when I look at you." The
second, "Everything you do makes me happy." And so on.

4. Book of Love.
Put together a book of ten pages - each page for some unique thing you
love about him/her.

5. An audiotape letter.
A cassette tape with your voice on it is an unexpected surprise.

6. Letter a day.
Write your love a letter every day for a week and leave it in a place
it will be found.

7. Write your loved one in a different language.
He/She will have to get it translated, which will make their
investment in the letter special.

8. Write a ransom note.
Ransom an object of your lover's and leave a note saying you'll return
it only after a romantic evening together.

9. Run a bubble bath for your love.
Put a note inside a bottle and leave it floating in the water.

10. Hidden notes.
Hide little love notes in your lover's pockets, wallet, bag, or desk
for them to find later.

Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again

Very quietly I take my leave

  As quietly as I came here;

  Quietly I wave good-bye

  To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

  The golden willows by the riverside

  Are young brides in the setting sun;

  Their reflections on the shimmering waves

  Always linger in the depth of my heart.

  The floating heart growing in the sludge

  Sways leisurely under the water;

  In the gentle waves of Cambridge

  I would be a water plant!

  That pool under the shade of elm trees

  Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;

  Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds

  Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

  To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream

  To where the green grass is more verdant;

  Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight

  And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.

  But I cannot sing aloud

  Quietness is my farewell music;

  Even summer insects heap silence for me

  Silent is Cambridge tonight!

  Very quietly I take my leave

  As quietly as I came here;

  Gently I flick my sleeves

  Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

  Help:

  Rosy: adj.蔷薇色的, 玫瑰红色的

  Shimmering: adj.微微发亮的

  Sludge: n.软泥, 淤泥, 矿泥, 煤泥

  Leisurely: adv.从容不迫

  Duckweeds: n.[植] 浮萍

雨天
--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 亨利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗

The day is cold,and dark,and dreary;
It rains,and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
My though still cling to the moldering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still,sad heart!And cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

天冷、阴暗、沉闷;
下着雨,风也刮个不停;
藤还攀附着颓垣残壁,
每来一阵狂风,枯叶附落纷纷,
天真是阴暗而沉闷。
我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷;
下着雨,风也刮个不停;
我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事,
大风里,我的青春希望相继熄灭,
天真是阴暗而沉闷。
安静吧,忧伤的心!别再悔恨;
乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂;
你命运和大家的一样,
每个人一生都得逢上阴雨,
有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。

some good writing methods

写作绝招(一)
一、 长短句原则
工作还得一张一驰呢,老让读者读长句,累死人!写一个短小精辟的句子,相反,却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以揭
示主题:
As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet
the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the
intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.
如此可见,长短句结合,抑扬顿挫,岂不爽哉?牢记!
强烈建议:在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短,且先长后短;在文章主体部分,要先用一个短句解释主要意思,然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形
式,定会让主体部分妙笔生辉!文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。

二、 主题句原则
国有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学,故意把主体隐藏在文章之内,结果造成我们稀里糊涂!
不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句,放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾,让读者一目了然,必会平安无事!
特别提示:隐藏主体句可是要冒险的!
To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully
prepared before the exam(主题句). Without sufficient preparation, you can
hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

三、 一 二 三原则
领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点… 如此罗嗦。可毕竟还是条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来
判定你的文章是否结构清楚,条理自然。破解方法很简单,只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。
1)first, second, third, last(不推荐,原因:俗)
2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐,原因:俗)
3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐,原因:俗)
4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不
推荐,原因:俗)
5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)
6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)
7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)8)most
important of all, moreover, finally
9)on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)
10)for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)
建议:不仅仅在写作中注意,平时说话的时候也应该条理清楚!

GOOD WRITING METHODS

怎样使句子简练利落

一、消除多余的词语
  每句话里的词藻或用语,如果对语意起不了作用就不要铺张,要给以铲除,因此(1)a-(7)a都嫌唠叨,要由(1)b-(7)b来取代:
  (1)a. At this point of time
→b. Now
  (2)a. Bring all this to a conclusion.
→b. Concluding this.
  (3)a. Has a tendency to drop
→b. Can drop easily.
  (4)a. On account of the fact that...
→b. As.../Since...
  (5)a. Situated in the vicinity of...
→b. near...
  (6)a. June was detemined in her mind to ...
→b. June was determind to .../
June decided to ...
  (7)a. Here comes David, a person whom I idolise and for whom I have
the greatest admiration.
→b. Here comes David,a person I idolise./Here comes my idol, David.

二、避免不必要的重复
  重复重要的字眼是种修辞手段,但是不必要或无目的的重复,却使句子累赘不自然,因此(8)a-(12)a要改为(8)b-(12)b:
  (8)a. Close proximity
→b. Proximity
  (9)a. Cooperate together
→b. Cooperate/work together
  (10)a. Most unique
→b. unique
  (11)a. The patient in Ward 2 is a mentally ill man.
→b. The patient in Ward 2 is mentally ill.
  (12)a. A good teacher helps each student to become a better student,
both academically and mentally.
→b. A good teacher helps each student to grow. /develop academically
and mentally.

三、简化句子结构
  句子结构务必明确易解,如果出现不必要的迂回状况,便要纠正加以简化,而且尽量采用恰当的动词,臻达这目的;因此(13)a-(14)a要改为
(13)b-(14)b:
  (13)a. Rarely should a doctor give a patient an estimate of how many
months or years he or she will live.
→b.Rarely should a doctor estimate/predict how long a patient will
live.
  (14)a. The manager is responsible for monitoring and balancing the
annual budget for all expenses.
→b. The manager monitors and balances the annual budget.

四、将从句节缩为短语、短语简化为单词
  英语从句和短语,特别是修饰性质者,可以简而略之,但语意不变,如(15)a和(16)a都可节缩为(15)b和(16)b:
  (15)a. The oral approach,which is a method of language teaching,is
effective for teaching oral communication.
→b. The oral approach, a method of language teaching, is effective for
teaching oral communication.
  (16)a. Janet's jacket, made of cotton, is too warm for hot weather
here.
→b. Janet's cotton jacket, is too warm for hot weather

Some good passages on English writing

BOOKS

As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and
many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our
minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good
teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always
encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice
of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books.
However, bad books will do us more harm than good.

THRIFT

There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or
later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary.
Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to
make a fortune.
I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do
not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for
the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance
makes rich men poor.

FACTORS OF SUCCESS
I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words, to achieve
success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of
success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the
following.
Diligence—Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he
works hard. That does not admit of any doubt.
Perseverance—When you fail, don’t lose heart. Keep on working until
you accomplish your aim.
Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words, no one will rely
on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat (others)

China's Olympic and world champion table tennis star Zhang Yining
married on Sunday, only weeks after winning a national singles title
for her Beijing provincial team, state media reported.
Zhang, who won two gold medals at the Beijing Olympics and two at
2004 Athens Games, wed businessman Xu Wei at a ceremony in a plush
Beijing hotel, the Beijing Times reported.
The 28-year-old table tennis star is currently ranked women's
world number one by the International Table Tennis Federation and is
one of China's most decorated champions.
Earlier this month, she won the singles title at the China
National Games and was the flag bearer for her Beijing team at the
games' formal opening on Friday night.
According to the Beijing Youth Daily, Zhang has no intention of
retiring now that she is a wife, but hopes to continue to play for the
national team.
"I believe she can continue until 2012 (Olympics) in London,"
Zhang's Beijing coach Zhou Shusen told reporters.
"For a girl of 28, it is quite normal (to get married)."
Her marriage comes after Ma Lin, who won the singles men gold at
the Beijing Olympics, recently revealed that he married five years
ago, but kept his vows secret reportedly due to concerns over a ban
against romances by national team players.
According to China Daily, Ma also revealed that he divorced his
wife Zhang Ningyi, a show business entertainer, several months ago.

学好英语的黄金法则

1.We study spoken English so as to make oral communications, so this
order of importance of oral English study should be followed: Fluency,
Accuracy, and Appropriateness. That is to say, we have to pay more
attention to practical communicating ability instead of only laying
emphasis on the grammatical correctness.
1.我们学习口语目的是为了与别人进行交流,所以英语口语中的几个要素的重要次序应为:流利----准确----恰当。(这一点恒星小编个人认为重要次序应该是
准确排在第一位的。流利反而应该是比较高阶段的要求)

2.Try to find some partners practicing oral English together and
English corner is a good place as where we may exchange English study
experience, widen our sight and improve interest in English.
2.寻找学伴一起练习口语。英语角是个不错的地方,在那我们不但可以练习口语,还可以交流英语学习经验,开拓视野,提高英语学习兴趣。

3.If English partners are not easy to get, then we have to create an
English environment ourselves by speaking English to ourselves.
3.如果找不到学伴或参加英语角的机会很少,那么也没有关系,有很多种方法可以自己练习口语。比如通过自己对自己将英语来创造英语环境。可以对自己描述
所看到的景物,英语口述自己正在做的事情。

4.This method is very effective and easy to insist on--interpreting
Chinese-English novels or books. First we read the Chinese parts and
then try to interpret them into English and then compare our
interpretation with the original versions in the novels or books so
that we can find out the mistakes, shortcomings and progresses in our
interpretation.
4.有种方法非常有效且很容易坚持----口译汉英对照(或英汉对照)的小说或其它读物。首先我们先读汉语部分,然后逐句直接口译成英文,完成一小段后,去
看书上的对应英文部分并与我们的口译进行比较,我们马上可以发现我们口译的错误,缺点和进步。

请注意:开始要选择较简单的读物,且应大量做,只做一两篇效果是不明显的。开始可能较慢,费时较多,但请坚持,整体上这是一个加速的过程。 高级阶段请
计时练习,以加快反应速度和口语流利度。 作为成人学英语,记忆力差是个拦路虎,作复述练习或背诵课文往往力不从心,或者由于词汇量太小觉得直接作口译
太难,那么这样做可以非常有效地解决这个问题:先学习英文课文,通篇理解透彻后,再来看汉语译文,把汉语译文口译回英文。 这样等于既作复述练习又作口
译(语)练习,可谓一石二鸟!

这样做的好处:

1)自己就可以练习口语,想练多久,就练多久。
2)始终有一位高级教师指出您的不足和错误----英文原文。
3)题材范围极广,可以突破我们自己的思维禁锢,比如我们总是喜欢谈论我们自己熟悉的话题,所以我们总是在练习相同的语言,进步当然就缓慢了。
4)选择小说,幽默故事或好的短文阅读,使我们有足够的兴趣坚持下去。
5)有一些我们在直接学习英语课文时被我们熟视无睹的地道的英语用法会被此法发掘出来。
6)对所学知识和所犯错误印象深刻。这等于我们一直在作汉译英练习,很多英文译文是我们费尽心思憋出来的,所以印象相当深刻。比直接学习英文课文印象要
深的多。
7)经过大量的练习,你会有这样的感觉:没有什么东西你不能翻译,你的翻译水平大大加强了,你的口语表达力大大提高了!

Teacher's Prayer


  I want to teach my students how to live this life on earth,

  To face its struggle and its strife and improve their worth.

  Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow,

  But how to choose the proper path wherever they may go.

  To understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong,

  And gather all the beauty of a flower and a song.

  For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace,

  Then, I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place.

  And so I ask my guidance, God, that I may do my part,

  For character and confidence and happiness of hear.

如何提高英语学习效率?

许多英语学习者都有一个同感:当学习达到一定程度后,要再上一个层次似乎变得非常困难,常有一种事倍功半的感觉,而且,不同英语水平的人要"更上" 不
同的"一层楼"时,都会遇到这个具有共性的问题。究其原因,没有足够的阅读量是根本性的制约因素,因为阅读量不够,至少会造成如下几方面的弊端,从而造
成"原地踏步"的境况:

缺乏语感


语感就是对语言的一种直觉。一个人讲话像不像英语或一篇文章写得像不像英文,我们能直接觉察到,这就是语感。语感不是天生的,是在学习中逐步培养并加强
的,阅读材料上如果没有一定量的积累,就难以建立起语感,而没有语感,读起文章来就很费劲,尽管每个语法都明白,每个单词都认识,但仍然不能从整体上欣
赏、把握一篇文章。

缺乏文化背景

语言是文化的一部分,具有极深的文化底蕴。没有语言文化背景,英语学习者就不能真正完全读懂外国文献(尤其是社会科学类)、顺畅地与外国朋友交流,就是
因为不了解英语的习俗文化、思维文化及历史文化,存在着词汇、修饰、习用语等方面的阻碍。而文化背景的获取,最理想、最地道的方法还是通过大量阅读各种
文章(著作),通过天长日久的积累,从而消除文化上的隔膜。

不适应语言风格

每一种语言都有其独特的风格,例如英语中大量地运用被动句,而汉语则习惯用主动形式来表达,如果一个学习者只从理论层面上认识到这一点而没有大量的阅读
实践,那么他在阅读过程中就不适应于这种风格,总试图首先用母语思维方式对内容进行"转换",这样的读书效率显然是不高的,讲出来的英语也是母语式
的。

通过大量的阅读,就可以克服以上几方面的障碍,这时,学习者就会发现英语其实就像母语一样可亲可近,并不是想像的那样高不可攀,在不自觉之时,水平已提
高了一个层次。那么,具体怎样阅读,读什么呢?

1、精泛并举,范围要广。对于比较精彩的文章,要仔细咀嚼,不但要借助于词典等工具,对其中的主要词语、句型、语法进行透彻地分析,还要细细揣摸文章的
组织结构及它的言外之意和弦外之音。这也就要求精读选择的分量不要大,重在"精"。所谓"泛",就是大面积地阅读,在能理解文章内容的前提下,进行广泛
涉猎,不必求甚解,只求扩大眼界:社会科学、历史、地理、艺术、风土人情、科学技术等都可作为阅读范围。这样,既培养了语感,又增加了文化背景知识,达
到扎扎实实提高英语水平的目的。

2、尽可能地读原著文章(著作)。开始直接读原著,会有较大难度,可以首先阅读几本简写的小说或故事、英美文学名著,这类简读本因保持原作的风格,文字
也多出处在原文,可以增加感性认识,培养并增强语感,再逐渐过渡到读原著,因为原著才是真正的"英语",通过阅读它,才进入了地道的英语世界,对语汇、
语法、句型及文化背景等的理解和掌握才有了生机。反观目前国内市面上的一些"阅读训练"材料,更多是汉译英的文字,一则内容熟悉,二则译文受汉语影响,
不利于真正提高阅读理解能力。

3、要持之以恒。英语作为一种语言,从掌握到熟练运用需要一个过程,就像一个人不可能通过三五天的好吃猛吃,就长得膀大腰圆一样,对英语的学习也贵在坚
持。有人算过,阅读水平中等的人,读一般的书,每天读15分钟,一年就可以读到20本书。每个人应该根据自己的情况,每天安排一定的时间(如30分钟)
来阅读。只有通过"细水长流",才能在英语的学习中取得质的飞跃。当有一天你读国外名著就像读《西游记》一样轻松时,那不是你用某个"技巧"取得的,而
是你"滴水穿石"的结果,此时,制约英语水平提高的"瓶颈"才算真正打破。

如何高效地激活你的英语

这里有一些学习英语的建议,希望能对大家有所帮助。

Warming-up to Study English
学习之前先热身


Just as there are exercises to help you warm up before you play some
basketball or other sport, there are exercises which can help you warm
up to study English. Here are some simple exercises to help you warm
up.
每次打篮球或者进行其他运动之前我们总要做一些热身活动来准备准备,学英语也是一样,这里有一些可以帮你做学前热身的简单练习。

Study English I: Activating Your Vocabulary
热身练习一:激活你的词汇


Activate your vocabulary by thinking or speaking briefly about the
subject you are about to work on. For example, if you are going to
study English on topics that focuses on vacations, take a moment to
think about your last vacation, what you did, what you enjoyed, etc.
This simple exercise will help your brain warm-up to vocabulary that
you are likely to encounter as you study English about this particular
subject.
激活英语词汇可以通过简短的想想或者说一说和你即将学习的主题来进行。举个例子,如果你要学习和假期有关的主题,花点时间想想你上一个假期,你干什么
了,你喜欢的事情等等,这个简单的练习可以让你的大脑准备好你在学习的时候可能用到的词汇。

Study English II: Activating Your Grammar
热身练习二:激活你的语法


Activate your grammar by thinking about the general grammar area
before you begin to study. For example, if you are going to study
English grammar focusing on the past, stop to think about what you did
last weekend, where you went, etc. to help activate what you already
understand about using the past. As with activating vocabulary, you'll
help your brain bring up what it knows about the past simple in an
easy way before you begin to focus on studying English grammar in
detail.
在开始学习之前,想一想通用的语法点,以此来激活你的语法。比如,如果你要学习过去时,开始想想你上周末干过什么,去过哪里等等,这些可以激活你已经学
会的过去式的用法。加上已经激活的词汇,在你开始学习语法细节之前,就可以帮助你的大脑用一种轻松的方法了解过去时。

热身练习三:唱首歌

Before class begins, or before you sit down to study English sing a
song in English to yourself. Make sure to use a song that you
understand and know very well. This short and fun exercise will help
your brain focus on the English language in a relaxing manner. It's
important to be relaxed when you study English! Singing a song also
helps activate the creative side of your brain which can help you come
up with more examples as your practice conversation or do some
creative writing.
在英语课开始前,或者你开始学英语之前,给自己唱一首英语歌吧。最好是一首你完全明白唱的是什么的歌。这种简短又有趣的练习可以帮助你的大脑在放松模式
下集中在英语这种语言上。学英语的时候放松是很重要的!唱歌还能帮助激活你大脑中有创造力的一边,者可以让你在练习对话或者写作的时候举出更多的例
子。

Study English IV: Typing e a Short Paragraph in English
热身练习四:用英语写一段文章

If you going to study English at your desk, begin by typing a simple
paragraph in English. You can type about your day, your hobbies, your
friends, etc. Anything will do. Typing helps activate the kinetic part
of your brain that helps improve learning through physical activity. I
also recommend typing while you study your English grammar. This will
help solidify your knowledge with movement.
如果你会坐在桌前学习英语,从打出一段简单的英文开始吧。你可以写写你的一天,你的爱好,你的朋友等等,什么都行。打字可以帮助激活你大脑中运动的部
分,这有助于从生理行为方面促进学习。我还很推荐学语法的时候打字,这可以用动作固化你的记忆。

Study English V: A Thousand Words ...
热身练习五:一千个词......

As the saying goes in English: A picture is worth a thousand words.
Help activate the creative side of your brain by trying to describe a
photo or other image. You can combine use this also to activate your
vocabulary by choosing a picture that has something to do with the
subject your are going to study in English.
英语里有句话说,一幅画顶一千个词。描绘一张照片或者其他的图片会很有助于激活你大脑中创造性的一边。你还可以用一张和你要学习的主题相关的图片结合这
个方法激活你的词汇。

考试结束了,学生们纷纷交回试卷。教授发现一张试卷上别着一张百元钞票,还有一张纸条写着:“一分一块钱。”

一、避免使用语意弱的“be”动词。

  1、把句中的表语转换为不同的修饰语。例如:

  Weak: The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems
drab. Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (转
换为前置定语)

  Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (转换为并列结构作
后置定语)

  2、将作表语用的形容词或名词变为行为动词。例如:

  1) Weak: The team members are good players.

  Revision: The team members play well.

  2) Weak: One worker’s plan is the elimination of tardiness.

  Revision: One worker’s plan eliminates tardiness.

  3、在以“here”或“there”开头的句子中,把“be”动词后的名词代词变成改写句的主语。例如:

  1) Weak: There is no opportunity for promotion.

  Revision: No opportunity for promotion exists.

  2) Weak: Here are the books you ordered.

  Revision: The books you ordered have arrived.

  二、多用语意具体的动词,保持句意简洁明了。例如:

  1、Poor: My supervisor went past my desk.

  Better: My supervisor sauntered (=walked slowly) past my desk.

  2、Poor: She is a careful shopper.

  Better: She compares prices and quality.

  三、尽量运用主动语态。例如:

  1、Weak: The organization has been supported by charity.

  Better: Charity has supported the organization.

  2、Weak: The biscuits were stacked on a plate.

  Better: Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate.

  四、防止使用语意冗长累赘的词语。例如:

  1、Wordy: My little sister has a preference for chocolate milk.

  Improved: My little sister prefers chocolate milk.

  2、Wordy: We are in receipt of your letter and intend to follow your
recommendations.

  Improved: We have received your letter and intended to follow your
recommendation.

  3、Redundant: We had a serious crisis at school yesterday when our
chemistry laboratory caught fire.

  Improved: We had a crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry
laboratory caught fire.

  4、Redundant: My sister and I bought the same, identical dress in
different stores.

  Improved: My sister and I bought the same dress in different
stores.

  五、杜绝滥用陈旧词语或难懂的专业术语。例如:

  1、Weak: They will not agree to his proposals in any shape or form.

  Improved: They will not agree to any of his proposals.

  2、Weak: I need her financial input before I can guesstimate our
expenditures next fall.

  Improved: I need her financial figures before I can estimate our
expenditures next fall.

Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang back on track after 13 months' lay-off

Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang, former Olympic and world champion, returned
to competition in style by finishing second at the Shanghai Golden
Grand Prix here on Sunday.

Liu's much-anticipated return after 13 months out injured was cheered
by a boisterous crowd of 25,000 at the Shanghai Stadium. He fought
back from behind to cross the finish line shoulder by shoulder with
arch rival Terrence Trammell of American, silver medalist in the
Berlin world championships. The photo finish showed that
Trammell, silver medalist at two Olympic
Games and three world championships, was the winner in a similar time
of 13.15 seconds.

"I want to thank my rivals, thank my coach and thank everybody for
your support," said Liu soon after the race.

"I had not expected to run so fast," said Liu, who clocked 13.70
seconds in a training session last week. "It's just beyond my
imagination."

"This competition has boosted my confidence and I am sure to improve
on this performance. It showed that I am still able to come out on the
track and find my former self," the 26-year-old said.

Liu trailed Trammell by at least three meters after 50 meters but he
managed to catch up in the final meters in front of the fans of
Shanghai where he was born and brought up.

"The atmosphere was superb. I will train harder after this
competition," said a beaming Liu, who was a national hero before the
Beijing Olympic Games but was criticized by netizens for his shock
withdrawal at the Bird's Nest.

Liu just returned to training in July after a surgery on his right
Achilles tendon in the United States last December. His performance in
Shanghai gave the fans hope that he has been back on winning track.

He said that his foot injury will not cause trouble.

"I don't think there will be problems for my foot," he said. "I will
try to avoid injuries in future races, big or small. Now the past is
past. Today I think the fans felt happy for me and also a little
disappointment (for not winning the race). I am sure that I will do
better in the days to come."

Organizers had asked the fans do not expect too much from Liu, who
previously held the world record of 12.88 seconds but the time was
certainly a surprise happiness for them and his coach Sun Haiping.

Sun said before the race that events such as the Shanghai Golden Grand
Prix will just help Liu improve as he prepares for the Asian Athletics
Championships in November and the East Asian Games in December.

"The time was really good," Sun said. "It's of course beyond my
expectations. I told him before the race that 13.50 is good enough
because it might be a little risky for his foot to run faster. I think
there were three reasons. Firstly, the fans were really fantastic and
secondly, the wind was assisting him. Thirdly, Trammell was really a
good rival. "

Sun said that Liu's foot injury will not be a problem any longer. "He
could have never run inside 13.20 if he had not recovered well enough.
But I still hope he should improve gradually."

Liu's next race will be at China's 11th National Games to be held in
Ji'nan, east China's Shandong Province in October

分享写作技巧: 如何让你的文章更有亮点?
NMET书面表达评分标准“最高档”要求:“应用了较多的语法结构或词汇;语法结构或词汇方面有少许错误,但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致;有
效地使用了语句间的连接成分,使全文结构紧凑。”从历年书面表达高分文章来看,每篇文章都有 “亮”点,即在用词、造句或段落安排上都有独到之处。
要想获得高分就应在“正确”表达的基础上写出自己的特色,写出自己的“亮”点。
一、词汇选择——标新立异

在写作中“较高级词汇”的使用主要是指使用《大纲》上没有的词语、使用通过构词法变化来的新词、使用同(近)义词或反义词等来代替常见词语。

1)这栋房子在芳草街的一栋楼上。

A: The flat is in a building on Fangcao Street.

B: The flat situates in a building on Fangcao Street.

分析:is in是常见词语,而situates in则是《大纲》上没有的,属于高级词汇。

2)在周末我们做很多作业。

A: At weekends, we have a lot of homework to do.

B: At weekends, we have endless homework to do.

分析:B句在表达时没有使用过于直接的a lot of,而是使用了endless。endless就是由《大纲》词汇end加后缀-less变化来
的。

3)洗澡间和厨房都很好。

A: The bathroom and the kitchen are good.

B. The bathroom and the kitchen are well-furnished.

在表达要点时,B句使用了well furnished,这比good语气强,也显得生动。

在造句时,“较高级词汇”如能运用贴切自然,哪怕整篇文章只用上一个,也会使你的作文显示出与众不同。

二、结构造句——与众不同

在造句时,既要使句子生动,又要使其简明扼要。

1、使用与人不同的表达方式,特别是提倡打破汉语句子结构的束缚而重组的句子更受欢迎。

1)唐山曾在二十世纪八十年代发生过一次大地震。

A: There was a strong earthquake in Tangshan in the 1980s.

B: A terrible earthquake hit/struck Tangshan in the 1980s.

大多数同学使用了there be结构,这是对的,但是B句却摒弃了常见句式。另辟蹊径而使用了“主语+谓语+宾语”结构,且使用了
terrible,hit/strike这样的词汇,更是难能可贵的。

2)你八月十五日的来信我今天早晨收到了。

A:I received your letter which was written on August 15th this morning.
(多数人使用的方式)

B: Your letter of August 15th reached/ got to me this morning.(与多数人使用的方
式不同,简洁)

2.使用一些强势句式,如强调句、感叹句、倒装句等,增强语句的表现力。如:

3)阿福救了我妹妹。

A: Ah Fu saved my sister.(一般句式)

B: It was Ah Fu that saved my sister.(强调句式)

4)我们看到庄稼和蔬菜长势喜人很是高兴。

A: We were glad to see crops and vegetables growing well.(一般陈述句)

B: How glad we were to see crops and vegetables growing well.(感叹句)

3、句式多样,复杂得体。在写作中应避免使用相同长度的相同句型,而应注意句式的变化,如长短句结合,简单句、并列句与复合句共用,还可使用简化句等;
一些较复杂的结构如独立主格,分词结构等也可使用。下面的表达中A句简单句多,而且多处使用 there be结构,显得单调、乏味,而B句就有自己的
特色(请同学们自己分析)。

5)这是一套25平方米的住房,住房里面有卧室、有洗澡间、有厨房;卧室里有床、沙发、桌子和椅子等。

A: It's a flat of 25 square metres. There is a bedroom in the flat.
There is a bathroom and a kitchen in it, too. In the bedroom, there is
a bed; there is a sofa, a desk and a chair as well.

B: It's a flat of 25 square metres, with a bedroom, a bathroom and a
kitchen. In the bedroom there is a bed, a sofa, a desk and a chair.

三、布局谋篇——独具匠心

在写作中,我们可按时间、空间或其它逻辑顺序来安排各要点,同时为使主题突出,结构严谨,我们应注意学习和使用交代句以及段落的主题句等。在布局谋篇
上,NMET2002范文堪称典范。请看:

Opinions are divided on the question.

60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fees. They
believe a public park should be free of charge. People need a place
where they can rest and enjoy themselves. Charging entrance fees will
no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary
to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a
city.

On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because you
need money to pay gardens and other workers, and to buy plants and
young trees. They suggested, however, fees should be charged low.

1)该文使用Opinions are divided...作交代句,开门见山,随后两个段落均使用了主题句(见黑体字部分),使全文结构紧凑,表达
严谨。

2)在表述要点时范文还对要点出场顺序作了调整,如“40%的同学认为应收门票,但不宜过高。”前部分作为主题句放在句首,而后部分另起一句放在句末:
They suggested, however, fees should be charged low.这样就分清了轻重缓急,主题突出,条理清
楚。

3)范文使用了and, what is more, however等连词,在段落之间使用了on the other hand(说明前后两个观点
是相悖的),这些连接手段的运用加强了句子之间、段落之间的联系,使文章表达连贯,浑然一体。

4)范文在第二段为说明不收门票的“原因”时增加了Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some
people away.等细节,这也是解决句与句之间缺少连贯性的常见方法。

总之,要想使自己的文章有亮点,吸引读者,在考试中获得高分,就应在用词、造句、谋篇上下功夫,哪怕是有一处特长都是“亮”点,都是值得肯定的。

 Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used,
and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any
situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words
and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries.
Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that
are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in
informal speech or writing, but not considered appropriate for more
formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial
language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood
by a large number of speakers but not accepted as good, formal usage
by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in
standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage
and slang are more common in speech than in writing.

  Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also
passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy
momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the
majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains
them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require
its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.It has
been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural
conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang
expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and
situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large
number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the
majority population.

  Finally, it is worth noting that the terms "standard" "colloquial"
and "slang" exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study
language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be
aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most
speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and
use all three types of expressions.

  语言的类型

  标准用法包括那些为使用这种语言的大多数人在任何场合下理解、使用和接受的词和短语,而不论该场合是否正式。 这些词和短语的意义已很确定并被列入
了标准词典中。 相反,俗语是指那些几乎所有讲这种语言的人都理解并在非正式的口头或书面中使用,却不适用于更正规的一些场合的词和短语。 几乎所有的
习惯用语都属于俗语,而俚语指的是为很多讲这种语言的人理解但大多数人不把它们列入好的、正式用法之内的词和短语;俗语甚至俚语都可能在标准字典中查
到,但是字典中会标明它们的性质。 俗语和俚语词汇的应用都是口头较多、笔头较少。

  俗语用法经常地被接受为标准用法。 一些俚语也变成了标准用法,但另外一些俚语只经历了短暂的流行,而后就被弃之不用了。 有时候,多数人从来不接
受某些俚语,但是他们把这些俚语保存到集中记忆中。 每一代人似乎都需要独有的一套词汇来描述熟知的物体和事件。很多语言学家指出,大量俚语的形成需要
三个文化条件:第一,对社会中新事物的引入和接受;第二,一个由大量子群构成的多样化人口;第三,各子群与多数人口之间的联系。

  最后需要提到的是,"标准语"、"俗语"和"俚语"这些术语只是对研究语言的专家才有用的抽象标签。 不论何种语言,只会有很小一部分使用者能够意
识到他们是在使用俗语或俚语。 讲英语的多数人能够在适当的场合中选择使用所有这三种语言类型

Mozart was born on January 27, 1756 and died on December 5, 1791. When
he was three, he often had lessons with his elder sister. His father
took him through many different countries, and he played music for
lots of people there.But some people didn't believe that a little boy
could write such beautiful music. They asked him to stay in a room all
by himself for a week and somebody watched the room all the time. In
the week, he finished a new piece of music. After that, people
believed that he could write beautiful music.

  Mozart died when he was still a young man. During his short life, he
studied music and taught music and played music and wrote music. Even
by working so hard, he could not make much money. Often he had to
borrow money from his friends. But his music made him happy and for
more than two hundred years his music has made other people happy,
too.

The First Semester in University
Life was like a box of chocolate .
You should chew it carefully and slowly so that the amazing feeling
will show up.
There is no much time to think back the pure studying life as a
fighting at senior school,especially during the year of grade 3,the
first semester in university has gone by with the wind.
Most freshmen would say that it was difficult in last semester because
of having not adjusted the different surroundings in campus.But there
was no much influnce on me,as I am a local.However,I found such a big
difference between the style of studying at middle school and
university.I never thought that I had been a adult before.I happened
to know I was not a child any more until last semester.I knew what was
the meaning of responsibility over my shoulder .I learned that I
should take care of myself without my parents and help others no
matter in life or studying.In a word,I realised many things that I had
never known before,finding that I had to grow up at college.
People might be detroyed but can not be defeated.
The last semester in university was uncommon for me.I came across so
many difficulties that I couldn’t deal with at my first reaction.For
example,when I lost my mobile phone,I really didn’t know what could I
do.So what?It would make me be more careful in daily life.That’s one
my shortages.On one hand,I was a so shy girl.How terrible it was that
I was a English major but I was afraid of standing and speaking at the
front of people;on the other hand,I was not the person who always said
giving up.At length,I got rid of the bad situation and spoke English
as I wanted.
In addition,I was so lucky,I didn’t lose myself at university.I knew
what I wanted and what I should do in my life.
Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion,struggle,and perseverance.Believe
that those who were capable took advantages of opportunities for
success and happiness that presented themselves.

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory-

Dating can be a chore because it seems so far removed from real life.
But I wonder if there aren’t some everyday lessons we can learn from
dating. Maybe it’s not that dating is different from the rest of our
lives but that it’s an intensified version of our day-to-day lives. We
work hard on a date to put our best self forward – but wouldn’t it be
nice to put our best self forward throughout the course of our lives?
Maybe instead of rejecting that persona, we should embrace it? And
maybe, just maybe, if we were used to being our best selves all the
time, dating wouldn’t be such a chore, either – we’d just show up and
be awesome.
So what can we learn from dating about being our most awesome selves
day in and day out? Here are a few things that come to mind:

1. Dress counts.
We all want to be appreciated for who we are, not what we wear, but
unfortunately, what we wear often determines whether or not anyone
will take time to know who we are. You wouldn’t dream of showing up
for a date in torn sweats and a dirty shirt – but I’ve seen people
show up for job interviews in similar outfits! Unless you need
specialized clothing – a uniform for work, grungy clothes for helping
a friend paint a house, etc. – dressing like you’re on your way to a
first date means you’ll always put your best face forward.

2. Listen more, talk less.
On a date, being fascinated with what your partner is saying is the
best way to make them feel good about themselves – and about you.
Asking questions and really paying attention is a great way to
demonstrate that you value the person you’re dating. It’s also a great
way to show people you aren’t dating that you value them – and to make
sure you’re as well-informed as you need to be.

3. Don’t be too needy.
“Desperation,” says a character in the movie Singles, “is the worst
perfume.” Spend a date leering or pawing at your date, or explaining
how very, very, very, very lonely you are is a sure way to get the
brush-off. Nobody likes a loser, and that’s exactly how you come off –
winners date people they’re totally into, not whoever will have them.
This is true throughout our lives as well – lots of people have
noticed how much easier it is to get a job when you already have one
(and it’s said that the best job interview is the one you come to
straight from work) than when you’re down to plucking couch-cushion
change for macaroni money. Of course, you have needs – everyone does –
but you can get a lot farther in life making it clear to everyone that
you’re driven by your passions and talents, not your needs.

4. Be decisive.
Partners of both sexes like to see their dates make decisions quickly
and effectively – it lifts the burden from them, and it shows a
confidence that most find attractive. Unfortunately, we often think
it’s nice to offer our date a bunch of choices to pick from, thinking
that it shows we respect their wishes, when what it really does is
throw them into decision paralysis – and increase their anxiety
because they’re suddenly fumbling and looking bad in front of you. In
life, as in dating, making decisions quickly and firmly, while
respecting other’s input, is a sure sign of leadership. Even bad
decisions made boldly often turn out to be better than good decisions
made hesitantly.

5. Smile a lot.
People like people who smile. More than that, there’s a lot of
evidence that the physical act of smiling actually triggers changes in
our brain chemistry that make us happier. On a date, that means less
stressed, more confident, and more attractive to our partner. In life,
that means the same thing – even when we’re not perfectly comfortable,
a big smile conveys to others that we are, and often gives us the
boost we need to actually become more comfortable.

6. Have an exit strategy.
Not from life – that’s a little morbid. What I mean is this: when you
go on a date, you have an idea of how, at various stages, to end it.
There’s the perfect “kiss at the door” evening (or “breakfast in bed”
night), there’s the pre-planned “emergency” phone call from a friend
at 8pm to give you an excuse to bail on a bad date, there’s the $20
spare cash tucked away in case things turn scary and you need a cab,
etc. In life’s undertakings, too, it pays to have a couple of escape
plans ready, as well as a clear image of what success will look like.
Grinding away at a project that no longer has any purpose isn’t very
smart, but we often feel compelled to “finish the job” even when it no
longer matters to us. Likewise, turning up for a dead-end job day
after day is a ticket to depression, at best. As the cliché goes,
“plan for the best but prepare for the worst” – go into big projects
with a clear idea of how much you’re willing to sacrifice and how
little you’re willing to gain to consider it worthwhile.
I have a half-dozen more tips, but that’s plenty for one post. I’ll be
back soon with more ways life could be more like dating, and our
selves could be more like the selves we are when we date. In the
meantime, how about sharing your tips for dating and how they might
apply to the rest of our life (or why they couldn’t)?
Yesterday I suggested that the rules that apply to successful dating
could be applied more widely to life in general. After all, when we go
on a date, we want our partner to see us at our best – and what could
be better than being at your best all the time?
With that in mind, I listed 6 guidelines that apply as well to life as
to dating, and today I’m back with 6 more. Since life, like dating,
can take a lot of different forms, these are still only brushing the
surface, and I encourage readers to leave their own tips for dating
and for life in the comments. Who knows, we might all become better at
both!

Fashion can change a person's life way and make person be more
perfect. Wearing fashionable clothes stands for fashion ideas. A
perfect clothes could make a plump girl become thin and beautiful. It
also can shows a person's make-up. For example the actress in the
devil wears prada who is a plump woman before and she doesn't at all
care about her appearance and dress. She couldn't care less what other
people say. She like to wear simple clother and has no dress sense.
But when she enters the world of fashion, she has a new idea and
gradually changes her babits. She begins to care her appearance wears
fashionable clothes and makes up herself.

朱自清:荷塘月色(The Lotus Pool By Moonlight)

The last few days have found me very restless. This evening as I sat
in the yard to enjoy the cool, it struck me how different the lotus
pool I pass every day must look under a full moon. The moon was
sailing higher and higher up the heavens, the sound of childish
laughter had died away from the lane beyond our wall, and my wife was
in the house patting Juner and humming a lullaby to him. I quietly
slipped on a long gown, and walked out leaving the door on the latch.

这几天心里颇不宁静。今晚在院子里坐着乘凉,忽然想起日日走过的荷塘,在这满月的光里,总该另有一番样子吧。月亮渐渐地升高了,墙外马路上孩子们的欢
笑,已经听不见了;妻在屋里拍着闰儿,迷迷糊糊地哼着眠歌。我悄悄地披了大衫,带上门出去。


A cinder - path winds along by the side of the pool. It is off the
beaten track and few pass this way even by day, so at night it is
still more quiet. Trees grow thick and bosky all around the pool, with
willows and other trees I cannot name by the path. On nights when
there is no moon the track is almost terrifyingly dark, but tonight it
was quite clear, though the moonlight was pale.

沿着荷塘,是一条曲折的小煤屑路。这是一条幽僻的路;白天也少人走,夜晚更加寂寞。荷塘四面,长着许多树,蓊蓊郁郁的。路的一旁,是些杨柳,和一些不知
道名字的树。没有月光的晚上,这路上阴森森的,有些怕人。今晚却很好,虽然月光也还是淡淡的。

Strolling alone down the path, hands behind my back, I felt as if the
whole earth and sky were mine and I had stepped outside my usual self
into another world. I like both excitement and stillness, under the
full moon, I could think of whatever I pleased or of nothing at all,
and that gave me a sense of freedom. All daytime duties could be
disregarded. That was the advantage of solitude: I could savour to the
full that expanse of fragrant lotus and the moonlight.

路上只我一个人,背着手踱着。这一片天地好像是我的;我也像超出了平常的自己,到了另一世界里。我爱热闹,也爱冷静;爱群居,也爱独处。像今晚上,一个
人在这苍茫的月下,什么都可以想,什么都可以不想,便觉是个自由的人。白天里一定要做的事,一定要说的话,现在都可不理。这是独处的妙处,我且受用这无
边的荷香月色好了。

As far as eye could see, the pool with its winding margin was covered
with trim leaves, which rose high out of the water like the flared
skirts of dancing girls. And starring these tiers of leaves were white
lotus flowers, alluringly open or bashfully in bud, like glimmering
pearls, stars in an azure sky, or beauties fresh from the bath. The
breeze carried past gusts of fragrance, like the strains of a song
faintly heard from a far-off tower. And leaves and blossoms trembled
slightly, while in a flash the scent was carried away. As the closely
serried leaves bent, a tide of opaque emerald could be glimpsed. That
was the softly running water beneath, hidden from sight, its colour
invisible, though the leaves looked more graceful than ever.

曲曲折折的荷塘上面,弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高,像亭亭的舞女的裙。层层的叶子中间,零星地点缀着些白花,有袅娜地开着的,有羞涩地打着朵儿
的;正如一粒粒的明珠,又如碧天里的星星,又如刚出浴的美人。微风过处,送来缕缕清香,仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声似的。这时候叶子与花也有一丝的颤动,
像闪电般,霎时传过荷塘的那边去了。叶子本是肩并肩密密地挨着,这便宛然有了一道凝碧的波痕。叶子底下是脉脉的流水,遮住了,不能见一些颜色;而叶子却
更见风致了。

Moonlight cascaded like water over the lotus leaves and flowers, and a
light blue mist floating up from the pool made them seem washed in
milk or caught in a gauzy dream. Though the moon was full, a film of
pale clouds in the sky would not allow its rays to shine through
brightly; but I felt this was all to the good - though refreshing
sleep is indispensable, short naps have a charm all their own. As the
moon shone from behind them, the dense trees on the hills threw
checkered shadows, dark forms loomed like devils, and the sparse,
graceful shadows of willows seemed painted on the lotus leaves. The
moonlight on the pool was not uniform, but light and shadow made up a
harmonious rhythm like a beautiful tune played on a violin.

月光如流水一般,静静地泻在这一片叶子和花上。薄薄的青雾浮起在荷塘里。叶子和花仿佛在牛乳中洗过一样;又像笼着轻纱的梦。虽然是满月,天上却有一层淡
淡的云,所以不能朗照;但我以为这恰是到了好处----酣眠固不可少,小睡也别有风味的。月光是隔了树照过来的,高处丛生的灌木,落下参差的斑驳的黑影,峭
楞楞如鬼一般;弯弯的杨柳的稀疏的倩影,却又像是画在荷叶上。塘中的月色并不均匀;但光与影有着和谐的旋律,如梵婀玲上奏着的名曲。

Far and near, high and low around the pool were trees, most of them
willows. These trees had the pool entirely hemmed in, the only small
clearings left being those by the path, apparently intended for the
moon. All the trees were somber as dense smoke, but among them you
could make out the luxuriant willows, while faintly above the tree-
tops loomed distant hills - their general outline only. And between
the trees appeared one or two street lamps, listless as the eyes of
someone drowsy. The liveliest sounds at this hour were the cicadas
chirruping on the trees and the frogs croaking in the pool; but this
animation was theirs alone, I had no part in it.

荷塘的四面,远远近近,高高低低都是树,而杨柳最多。这些树将一片荷塘重重围住;只在小路一旁,漏着几段空隙,像是特为月光留下的。树色一例是阴阴的,
乍看像一团烟雾;但杨柳的丰姿,便在烟雾里也辨得出。树梢上隐隐约约的是一带远山,只有些大意罢了。树缝里也漏着一两点路灯光,没精打采的,是渴睡人的
眼。这时候最热闹的,要数树上的蝉声与水里的蛙声;但热闹是它们的,我什么也没有。

Then lotus-gathering flashed into my mind. This was an old custom
south of the Yangtse, which apparently originated very early and was
most popular in the period of the Six Kingdoms,* as we see from the
songs of the time. The lotus were picked by girls in small boats, who
sang haunting songs as they padded. They turned out in force, we may
be sure, and there were spectators too, for that was a cheerful
festival and a romantic one. We have a good account of it in a poem by
Emperor Yuan of the Liang dynasty called Lotus Gatherers:

忽然想起采莲的事情来了。采莲是江南的旧俗,似乎很早就有,而六朝时为盛;从诗歌里可以约略知道。采莲的是少年的女子,她们是荡着小船,唱着艳歌去的。
采莲人不用说很多,还有看采莲的人。那是一个热闹的季节,也是一个风流的季节。梁元帝《采莲赋》里说得好:

Deft boys and pretty girls
Reach an understanding while boating;
Their prows veer slowly,
But the winecups pass quickly;
Their oars are entangled,
As they cut through the duckweed,
And girls with slender waists
Turn to gaze behind them.
Now spring and summer meet,
Leaves are tender, flowers fresh;
With smiles they protect their silks,
Drawing in their skirts, afraid lest the boat upset.

于是妖童媛女,
荡舟心许;
鷁首徐回,
兼传羽杯;
欋将移而藻挂,
船欲动而萍开。
尔其纤腰束素,
迁延顾步;
夏始春余,
叶嫩花初,
恐沾裳而浅笑,
畏倾船而敛裾。

There we have a picture of these merry excursions. This must have been
a delightful event, and it is a great pity we cannot enjoy it today.

可见当时嬉游的光景了。这真是有趣的事,可惜我们现在早已无福消受了。

I also remember some lines from the poem West Islet:

于是又记起《西洲曲》里的句子:

When they gather lotus at Nantang in autumn
The lotus blooms are higher than their heads;
They stoop to pick lotus seeds,
Seeds as translucent as water.

采莲南塘秋,莲花过人头;低头弄莲子,莲子清如水。

If any girls were here now to pick the lotus, the flowers would reach
above their heads too -- ah, rippling shadows alone are not enough! I
was feeling quite homesick for the south, when I suddenly looked up to
discover I had reached my own door. Pushing it softly open and
tiptoeing in, I found all quiet inside, and my wife fast asleep.

今晚若有采莲人,这儿的莲花也算得"过人头"了;只不见一些流水的影子,是不行的。这令我到底惦着江南了。----这样想着,猛一抬头,不觉已是自己的门
前;轻轻地推门进去,什么声息也没有,妻已睡熟好久了。
A beautiful and familiar article. Just please appreciate it and enjoy
it.

Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, pig flu and
sometimes, the swine) is an infection by any one of several types of
swine influenza virus. Swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of
the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs. As of 2009,
the known SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of
influenza A known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.
Swine influenza virus is common throughout pig populations worldwide.
Transmission of the virus from pigs to humans is not common and does
not always lead to human influenza, often resulting only in the
production of antibodies in the blood. If transmission does cause
human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People with regular
exposure to pigs are at increased risk of swine flu infection. The
meat of an infected animal poses no risk of infection when properly
cooked.
During the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes
became possible, allowing accurate diagnosis of transmission to
humans. Since then, only 50 such transmissions have been confirmed.
These strains of swine flu rarely pass from human to human. Symptoms
of zoonotic swine flu in humans are similar to those of influenza and
of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore
throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general
discomfort.

 The preacher was vexed because a certain member of his congregation
always fell asleep during the sermon.

  As the man was snoring in the front row one Sunday, the preacher
determined he would teach him not to sleep during the sermon. So, in a
whisper, he asked the congreg
ation. "All who want to go to heaven,please rise." Everyone got up
except the snorer. After whispering "Be seated", the minister shouted
at the top of his voiced, "All those who want to be with the devil,
please rise."

  Awaking with a start, the sleepy-head jumped to his feet and saw the
preacher standing tall and angry in the pulpit, "Well, sir," he said,
"I don't know what we're voting on, but it looks like you and me are
the only ones for it."

  瞌睡者

  牧师非常生气,因为总有一个人在他说教时打瞌睡。一个星期天,正当坐在前排的那个人又在瞌睡时,牧师决定要好好教育他一下,让他不要再在布道时睡
觉。于是他低声对信徒们说:"想去天堂的人,都请站起来吧。"所有的人都站了起来----当然,除了那个打瞌睡的人。在低声说过请坐后,牧师高声喊道:"想
去下地狱的人请站起来!"打瞌睡的人被这突然的喊叫声惊醒了,他站了起来。看到牧师高站在教坛上,正生气的看着他。这个人说道:"噢,先生,我不知道我
们在选什么,但看上去只有你和我是候选人。"

[英语写作] 分享写作技巧: 如何让你的文章更有亮点?
一、词汇选择----标新立异

在写作中"较高级词汇"的使用主要是指使用《大纲》上没有的词语、使用通过构词法变化来的新词、使用同(近)义词或反义词等来代替常见词语。

1)这栋房子在芳草街的一栋楼上。


The flat situates in a building on Fangcao Street.


二、结构造句----与众不同

在造句时,既要使句子生动,又要使其简明扼要。

1、使用与人不同的表达方式,特别是提倡打破汉语句子结构的束缚而重组的句子更受欢迎。


2.使用一些强势句式,如强调句、感叹句、倒装句等,增强语句的表现力。

3、句式多样,复杂得体。在写作中应避免使用相同长度的相同句型,而应注意句式的变化,如长短句结合,简单句、并列句与复合句共用,还可使用简化句等;
一些较复杂的结构如独立主格,分词结构等也可使用。下面的表达中A句简单句多,而且多处使用 there be结构,显得单调、乏味,而B句就有自己的
特色(请同学们自己分析)。


三、布局谋篇----独具匠心

在写作中,我们可按时间、空间或其它逻辑顺序来安排各要点,同时为使主题突出,结构严谨,我们应注意学习和使用交代句以及段落的主题句等。

总之,要想使自己的文章有亮点,吸引读者,在考试中获得高分,就应在用词、造句、谋篇上下功夫,哪怕是有一处特长都是"亮"点,都是值得肯定的。

九、比较结构比较结构中要注意两点:1、倒装性;2、对称性

例1: Western Nebraska generally receives less snow than___eastern
Nebraska.     (A) does     (B) in     (C) it does in     (D) in it
does 分析:than引导比较状语从句,空格后面是个专有名词,肯定是比较从句的主语,空格处明显缺从句的谓语动词,只有(A)符合条件,故选
(A)。注意 than eastern Nebraska does 是正确的语序,但是原文中使用了倒装;在比较结构的后面部分中,如果比较从句的
主语长,谓语动词短,动词可放到主语前面进行到装。

例2: Hot objects emit___do cold objects.     (A) rays more than
infrared     (B) rays are more infrared than     (C) more than
infrared rays     (D) more infrared rays than 分析:emit为及物动词,空格处缺宾语和引导比较从
句的than, 只有(D)符合条件。注意空格后为倒装形式,do代替emit以避免重复。此题为常考的句子结构。

比较结构中还需要注意相互比较的必须属于同一种事物例

3: The activities of the international marketing researcher are
frequently much broader than___.    (A) the domestic marketer has
(B) the domestic marketer does    (C) those of the domestic marketer
 (D) that which has the domestic marketer 分析:本题还是考查比较句,由于谓语动词是系动词are, 故
先排除与其不对应的以has和does结尾的(A)和(B)。选项D则语义不清,也可排除。C中those代替前面提到的activities以避免重
复,those一定要具备,因为只有这样才能满足比较的都是activities,谓语动词are因与主句谓语动词相同而被省略,因此C为正确答案。

例4: The annual worth of Utah's manufacturing is greater than --.
(A) that of its mining and farming combined    (B) mining and farming
combination    (C) that mining and farming combined    (D) of its
combination mining and farming 分析:本题为比较句,一般来说,比较的双方应属于同一类事物。句中主语显然是比较的一
方,而空格处应是与之相对应的另一方。(B)、(C)、(D)均无法与the annual worth相对应,故可以排除。(A)中代词that代
替 the annual worth, 是英语中常见的避免重复的用法,故选(A)。

9步让你的英语在6个月内流利
* 把自己融入
  语言这个东西,速成很难,除非你用这种语言来思考。也许我们都有这种经历,当你要说英语的时候,口里象塞了一团棉花,没词儿。为什么呢?那是因为我
们平时生活中就不用英语来思考,所以脑子里的第一反应就会是你的母语,而不是英语。很好的解决办法是,把你自己孤立出原本的语言环境,比如到国外读书,
去国外工作,其实工作经历有时候比学校更有用,因为你真正把你的语言用到了实处。还有很重要的一点就是培养自己的兴趣,渗透到西方英语文化中去,只有把
自己融入他们的政治,媒体,音乐,你才能进入他们的圈子。

  * 把翻译忘了:像个婴儿般思考
  婴儿是如何学习语言的呢?我们都知道,婴儿是世界上最聪明的语言天才。他们通过模仿,重复发音,就能轻松学会一门语言。
  千万不要羞涩,千万不要为你蹩脚的发音难以启齿,很多时候,别人纠正你的发音,对你是很有帮助的,有学术报告指出一个害羞的人和一个不害羞的人学习
语言的速度是不一样的。不害羞的人往往学的较快。千万要控制住把一切看到的,听到的都翻译成自己的母语,其实任何一种翻译都无法达到100%准确,表达
原本的含义。你可以充分利用身边的环境,例如去西餐厅,你不用把你预先准备好的词句说给服务员听,你可以坐下来静静的观察周围的人如何点菜。当他们说话
的时候,注意他们的面部表情。模仿他们的语句和发音,不管你听的懂,还是听不懂,最终你会发现你自己在恰当的场合里使用这些发音/句子。看,用英文思考
一点儿也不难哦。

  * 你怎么说。。。?
  在这个年代里,大街小巷里,外国人一抓一大吧,记得把握机会和老外多交流。谈些你感兴趣的话题,多问几个" How do you say/
What is that called?", 很多老外还是很友善的。
  * 写下来
  在和老外交流的过程中,写下你不懂的地方。记笔记总是没错的。
  字典是你永远的好朋友,不懂的单词就查字典,不过千万不要用电子字典哦。
  记得在国外读法语的时候,老师就让我们把stickynotes充分利用起来,你可以自己做一个很漂亮的备忘录,把sticky notes头上穿
个洞,用个钥匙环穿起来。坐公车的时候,无聊的时候,随时翻出来看看。

  * 英文电视,电影,音乐
  之前就说了,电视,电影,音乐中就可以发现西方的英语文化。以前,我记得老师问过我们一个问题,你可以教文化么?我们当时想啊,文化怎么教,又不是
一个实际的物体。文化是可以教的,通过电影,电视,你就可以学习到文化。但是,注意,你永远无法和电视交流,所以与别人交谈还是很重要的。我老师说过学
语言就是一个简单的过程:有母语字幕-有英文字幕-无字幕。什么时候你可以摆脱字幕了,你的语言功底就到家了。
  * 肢体语言
  大家都知道,老外的肢体语言很多。我自己就有很深的体会。别人看我,我说英语的时候和说汉语的时候,完全是2个人。我说英语,更多的时候带上肢体语
言,例如摊个手啊,歪个头等等。
  * 冲动一些
  如果你去旅行的话,你可以尽可能多的和司机攀谈,国外的司机都超级健谈。不要怕说错,要大胆的说,尽情的说,尴尬的时候给你的印象更为深刻呢。

  * 朋友/单独
  你可以利用现代方式,在各种聊天室里交到国外的朋友。当然,国外的人可能会因为你英语差,而敷衍你几句,就不踩你了。你也别灰心。并不是只有外国人
能帮助你学习。找一个志同道合的人,组成小组学习。正所谓,三个臭皮匠,顶个诸葛亮。你还可以从朋友犯的错误里吸取经验。
  * 旅行前后抓住任何机会练习
  学习一门语言就是要多多练习。语言是活的,需要你经常使用。就拿我自己举例吧。我出国这几年,就感觉自己中文退步很多,有时候脑子里第一个蹦出的不
是中文单词,而是英文单词,所以你也不难理解,为什么国外回来的人时不时的给你蹦出个英文单词作秀,其实那是自然而然的。
  你可以自己找个笔友,互相传递e-mail, 当然e-mail这种写作方式是很不正规的,但学习语言,就是要从小处着手,你可以随时随地写个
shopping list, 在chat room跟人聊天,在你感兴趣的论坛发言。很多很多方式,只要你愿意。

The Lion King was a film that that praises justice and love,
castigates evil and conspiracy. It shows the principle of the circle
of life, and gave people the sign of philosophy of the whole life.We
can learn something useful from it.
1 Blood is thicker than water ,and love is everything.
2 A friend in need is a friend indeed and enjoy everyday.
3 The spirit of looking back bravely and forward hopefully.

1.One is always on a strange road, watching strange scenery and
listening to strange music. Then one day, you will find that the
things you try hard to forget are already gone.
2.幸福,不是长生不老,不是大鱼大肉,不是权倾朝野。幸福是每一个微小的生活愿望达成。当你想吃的时候有得吃,想被爱的时候有人来爱你。
2.Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in
one's hand. It’s about having each tiny wish come true, or having
something to eat when you are hungry or having someone's love when you
need love.
3.爱情是灯,友情是影子,当灯灭了,你会发现你的周围都是影子。朋友,是在最后可以给你力量的人。

off,you will find the shadow everywhere. Friend is who can give you
strength at last.
4.当明天变成了今天成为了昨天,最后成为记忆里不再重要的某一天,我们突然发现自己在不知不觉中已被时间推着向前走,这不是静止火车里,与相邻列车交

4.When tomorrow turns in today, yesterday, and someday that no more

《肖申克的救赎》经典英文对白
The Shawshank Redemption
1.Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. A strong man can
save himself. A great man can save another.
懦怯囚禁人的灵魂,希望可以感受自由。强者自救,圣者渡人。
2.I guess it comes down to a simple choice:get busy living or get busy
dying.
生命可以归结为一种简单的选择:要么忙于生存,要么赶着去死。
3.Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing
ever dies
希望是美好的,也许是人间至善,而美好的事物永不消逝.
4."some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are
just too bright..."
有的鸟是不会被关住的,因为它们的羽毛太美丽了!
5.These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then
you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them.
That`s institutionalized.
监狱里的高墙实在是很有趣。刚入狱的时候,你痛恨周围的高墙;慢慢地,你习惯了生活在其中;最终你会发现自己不得不依靠它而生存。 这就是体制化。
6.I find I`m so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in
my head. I think it the excitement only a free man can feel, a free
man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I
hope I can make it across the border, I hope to see my friend, and
shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my
dreams. I hope.
我发现自己是如此的激动,以至于不能静静地坐下来思考,我想只有那些重获自由即将踏上新征程的人们才能感受到这种即将揭开未来神秘面纱的激动心情。我希
望跨越千山万水握住朋友的手;我希望太平洋的海水如同梦中的一样蓝;我希望......
7.There`s not a day goes by I don`t feel regret. Not because I`m in
here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was
then. Then a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I
want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell
him the way things are. But I can`t. That kid`s long gone and this old
man is all that`s left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It`s
just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sorry, and
stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don`t give a
shit.
我无时不刻地对自己的所作所为深感内疚,这不是因为我在这里(指监狱),也不是讨好你们(指假释官)。回首曾经走过的弯路,我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚
蠢的年轻人说些什么,告诉他我现在的感受,告诉他还可以有其他的方式解决问题。可是,我做不到了。那个年轻人早已淹没在岁月的长河里,只留下一个老人孤
独地面对过去。重新做人?骗人罢了!小子,别再浪费我的时间了,盖你的章吧,我没什么可说的了。

《青花瓷》的中国意味悠远深长。它曾被慧眼识珠的中学语文老师,编入语文考试。2008年的山东高考试题,甚至还引用了其中的几句歌词:"素胚勾勒出青
花笔锋浓转淡"、"色白花青的锦鲤跃然于碗底"。

  青花瓷的英文,有现成的表达是the blue and white porcelain。前几日,和一位美国大学生谈及我正翻译的《青花瓷》,听
到the blue and white,他的话锋一转,提到哥伦比亚大学的同名学生杂志The Blue and White。名字不知作何翻
译。"青花"?抑或"蓝与白"?该杂志1890年创刊,封面蓝白相间,风格颇为淡雅。时事、政论、文化,包罗万象。

  哥伦比亚大学的新闻学院排名世界第一,其学生主持的百年杂志,水准可见一斑。尤其是2007年伊朗总统内贾德在哥伦比亚大学演讲,该杂志报道详尽,
名噪一时。

  如此想来,一些意象,在人们心目中,出于不同文化背景,竟如此风牛马不相及。

  The blue and white porcelain

  素胚勾勒出青花笔锋浓转淡

  Unglazed, yet from shade to light,

  unfolds the blue and white.

  瓶身描绘的牡丹一如你初妆

  From the peony on the vase

  emerges your image in maiden dress.

  冉冉檀香透过窗心事我了然

  closed as the windows remain,

  the incense rises

  and lays bare my bosom.

  宣纸上 走笔至此搁一半

  My brush pauses;

  the painting half done,

  釉色渲染仕女图韵味被私藏

  till the portrait of a maiden is glazed,

  hiding away memories fond.

  而妳嫣然的一笑如含苞待放

  bursting into a smile,

  you seem like a bud about to bloom.

  你的美一缕飘散 去到我去不了的地方

  alas, off is your charm blown,

  To a place where I can never trace.

  天青色等烟雨 而我在等你

  The sky is blue enough to expect the rain;

  for you I am waiting, however in vain.

  炊烟袅袅升起 隔江千万里

  the chimney smoke is to rise;

  across the river lies thousands of miles.

  在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸

  The calligraphy at the bottom,

  modeling the elegance of the Han Dynasty,

  就当我 为遇见你伏笔

  has set the stage to meet my destiny.

  天青色等烟雨 而我在等你

  The sky is blue enough to herald the rain,

  While for you I am on watch, however in vain.

  月色被打捞起 晕开了结局

  Scooped out of the water, the moon waned,

  ripples spreading out,

  the story draws to an end.

  如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽

  你眼带笑意

  in your eyes smile is beaming;

  The blue and white porcelain

  keeps to herself the age-long beauty,

  色白花青的锦鲤跃然于碗底

  on the bottom of the white bowl

  blue and white carps leap to and fro.

  临摹宋体落款时却惦记着你

  Copying the Song inscription,

  to the end I am yet to sign,

  before you step into my mind.

  你隐藏在窑烧里千年的秘密

  The mystery of yours,

  Buried deep in the kiln for thousands of years,

  极细腻 犹如绣花针落地

  is as delicate yet profound

  as a needle falling into the ground.

  帘外芭蕉惹骤雨门环惹铜绿

  The banana tree outside brings a sudden downpour;

  while the copper knocker invites rust to cover all.

  而我路过那江南小镇惹了你

  South of the river

  I passed through the small town,

  mindless of turning your life around.

  在泼墨山水画里 你从墨色深处被隐去

  melting into the depth of a landscape painting,

  you faded out into the dark background.

A Pleasant Family
When in an hour they crowded into a cab to go home, I strolled idly to
my club. I was perhaps a little lonely, and it was with a touch of
envy that I thought of the pleasant family life of which I had had a
glimpse. They seemed devoted to one another. They had little private
jokes of their own which, unintelligible to the outsider, amused them
enormously. Perhaps Charles Strickland was dull judged by a standard
that demanded above all things verbal scintillation; but his
intelligence was adequate to his surroundings, and that is a passport,
not only to reasonable success, but still more to happiness. Mrs.
Strickland was a charming woman, and she loved him. I pictured their
lives, troubled by no untoward adventure, honest, decent, and, by
reason of those two upstanding, pleasant children, so obviously
destined to carry on the normal traditions of their race and station,
not without significance. They would grow old insensibly; they would
see their son and daughter come to years of reason, marry in due
course —— the one a pretty girl, future mother of healthy children;
the other a handsome, manly fellow, obviously a soldier; and at last,
prosperous in their dignified retirement, beloved by their
descendants, after a happy, not unuseful life, in the fullness of
their age they would sink into the grave.

——Excerpt from the Moon and Sixpennce by W. Somerset Maugham

书面表达是如何学好英语中的最难点。包括词汇、语法等各种知识的综合体。很多同学爱写作文,可总是写不好。但是只要你掌握了科学的写作步骤,是写出高质
量的英语习作是得心应手的。
  第一步,审题。无论写什么样的文章都不能离开文章的主题。主题是文章所要表达的中心,是文章的灵魂主宰。如果审不清主题,就有可能出现“下笔千言,
离题万里”的情况。在审清主题的基础上,同学们还需注意要审清文体。初中阶段要求写作的文体并不复杂,一般有两种:①陈述体。即叙述、记叙一件事,或描
述一件物体。②对话体。即通过一定的情景,模拟二者(通常是两人)对话的内容。只有把文体审清,才能保证写作的大方向不会错。
  第二步,选材。审完题之后,就应该着手选材了。主题是文章的宗旨,材料必须为主题服务:主题必须统领材料,二者是密不可分、相辅相成的关系。既然要
选材,就必须有充足的备选材料。只有平时多观察、多学习、多积累,才能保证材料充分、详实。在具备充足的材料的基础上,要学会去粗取精,去伪存真。还要
分清材料的主次与详略,做到详略得当。
  第三步,列提纲。写文章之前列个提纲是个非常好的写作习惯。列提纲可以使杂乱无章的材料变得井然有序;列提纲可以使你紧扣主题不跑题;列提纲还可以
节约你的时间,提高写作效率。
  第四步,动笔。写作时一定要切题,抓住要点。题目要求的内容一定要写进去,以保证内容的完整。对于与要求无关的内容切忌任意发挥,画蛇添足。写作时
要注意语法正确、用词得当、语言地道。在写不同题材和体裁的文章时,所用的句式、时态及用词均不同。
  第五步,检查修改。要提高英语写作水平,除了准确遣词造句、严谨布局外,文章的修改也是很重要的一步。

  最后,我想引用毛泽东主席写过的一副对联,“贵有恒,何必三更睡五更起;最无益,只怕一日曝(pu)十日寒”与同学们共勉。若同学们能按着一定的方
法,持之以恒地努力学习英语,一段时间下来,必然能积少成多,聚沙成塔,如何学好英语的梦想就会在不经意间come true。

Don't smoke!
The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you
smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure,
straining your heart and blood vessels.

This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow,
cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having
their limbs
amputated.

Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-
day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.

Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually
take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar
deeper into their lungs.

Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen,
making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over
time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.

Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking
effects on the body often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an
illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get
bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.

Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men
who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-
smokers.

Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-
smokers.
