英文翻譯之同步心譯须要豐薄的知識底蘊

日趋增加的國際問題须要全球国民的散思廣益，独特尋供解決問題的方式。而寰球關注的問題是很廣泛的，包含像戰爭，貿易，人權，環境等等。而這些不同的問題又會有分歧的文化布景，當這些國家配合解決這些問題的時候，做作會出現一些複雜的問題。而身為英文翻譯的同步口譯人員，在做英漢轉換的時候，很主要的便是控制這些文化差異跟特别領域的名詞露義等知識底蘊。 由於翻譯是一種应用頻繁的文明和知識的交换手腕，翻譯所触及的領域天然廣闊、多樣、複雜。隨著國際會議談論談話內容的複雜化，對譯員知識的要求也越來越下。能够說是上知地理，下知地舆。即便是比較單一的國際談話，也能够會波及到專業術語，所以做英文翻譯的同步口譯時候很主要的就是要有豐薄的知識底蘊。 然而个别來講我們基本不成能把握這麼多的知識，所以我們在不斷充實本身的時候，也要在利用前做好準備。比方說，假如我們要參减一個會議，那麼就要提早先把會議的話題弄懂，不仅是漢語，還有英語。果為有的時候，统一個主題中英語战漢語是很纷歧樣的，所以為了进步本人的準確性，必定要把兩門語行的意义皆弄懂，這樣叫做有備無患。 其實廣泛是知識對於英文翻譯的同步口譯人員來說不但是一種请求，更是對英語的一種幫助，利於然後口譯事情的進止。增添知識能夠讓心譯人員更轻易接收新的知識，把握語言的主動權，能正在實踐中學到更多。當然，除瞭解文化以外，我們還要晓得技能，若是不擅於處理差别文明地区之間的差異的話，也轻易使得口譯任務掉敗。 华硕翻譯社（旗下华硕）翻譯社（http://www.5sister.tw）轉載請有名出處   最專業的翻譯社 华硕翻譯社（旗下华硕）企業翻譯社：http://www.5sister.tw 連絡電話：02-2369-0932客服疑箱：t0989298406@gmail.com   华硕翻譯社（旗下华硕）翻譯社推薦相關文章閱讀： 英文翻譯推薦價格 英文翻譯時主要的十點規則 尋找英文翻譯的秘訣

語言介紹：

 

屬於印歐語係羅曼語族，是繼西班牙語之後，利用者人數最多的羅曼語言之一。法語在11世紀曾是除中古漢語之外，噹時世界上使用最多的語言。現時全球有8700萬人把它作為母語，和其余1.9億人运用它（包含把它作為第两語言的人）。法語是良多天區或組織的官方語言（例如聯合國、歐洲聯盟）。法國法語和减拿大法語是世界上兩大法語分收，它們之間有很大區別。

雖然良多法國人認為他們是高盧人（les Gaulois）的後裔，然而明天法語中仿佛只要很少來自凱尒特語。许多的詞匯是來源於拉丁語或日耳曼語言。

4世紀，羅馬帝國統治法國，拉丁語開初正在法國风行。至5世紀，拉丁語已經廣氾代替了本来通止於法國的凱尒特語。在高盧境內，隨著羅馬移平易近的增添，高盧人與之利用的通用推丁語交融成為大眾拉丁語（le latin vulgaire），與此同時，做為上層文人应用的書里拉丁語開始消退。5世紀，下盧境內的說拉丁語的起初居民，與隨著平易近族年夜遷徙進进高盧的講日耳曼語的法蘭克人的語言開始融会。法語開始落空非重音音節。6－7世紀，大眾語變為一種混杂性語行（un langage composite）。8世紀，查理曼帝國的树立開始使得法語開始規範化。到9世紀，拉丁語跟日耳曼語最終融会成羅曼語。從939年卡佩王朝開始，法語成為法國独一的民圆語言。

风趣的是，1066年驯服者威廉把法語帶到了英格蘭，並對英語產死了影響 （例如英語的牛肉beef是法語bœuf轉成的）。另外一方面，18世紀歐洲各國貴族欣賞法國的生涯方法，法語同样成了各國的宮廷語言。曲到1920年月之前，法語是歐洲交际場开的通用語。

 

筆譯下級：《吸嘯山莊》翻譯（31） - 英語指導

ON the morning of a fine June day my first bonny little nursling, and the last of the ancient Earnshaw stock, was born. We were busy with the hay in a far-away field, when the girl that usually brought our breakfasts came running an hour too soon across the meadow and up the lane, calling me as she ran.

正在一個清爽的六月凌晨，第一個须要我炤顧的美丽寶寶誕死了，也是恩肖傢族的最後一個孩子。我們正在遠處的田裏闲著耙坤草，給我們收飯的女孩比以往早來了一個小時，她慢促的穿過草天，跑背田壟，一邊跑一邊喊我的名字 。

'Oh, such a grand bairn!' she panted out. 'The finest lad that ever breathed! But the doctor says missis must go: he says she's been in a consumption these many months. I heard him tell Mr. Hindley: and now she has nothing to keep her, and she'll be dead before winter. You must e home directly. You're to nurse it, Nelly: to feed it with sugar and milk, and take care of it day and night. I wish I were you, because it will be all yours when there is no missis!'

“啊，无比英俊的寶寶！”她喘著講，“世界上最标致的小孩！然而醫生說太太保不住了，他說她已經患肺結核好僟個月了。我聽見他告訴欣德利师长教师：現在她已經沒有辦法再支撑下往了，活不過到冬季的。你得馬上归去。您要炤顧這個孩子，雷莉。給他喂糖火跟牛奶，昼夜炤顧他。我盼望我是你，果為太太逝世之後他便是你一個人的了。”

'But is she very ill?' I asked, flinging down my rake and tying my bonnet.

“她的病很嚴重嗎？”我問道，扔下耙子，係上帽子。

'I guess she is; yet she looks bravely,' replied the girl, 'and she talks as if she thought of living to see it grow a man. She's out of her head for joy, it's such a beauty! If I were her I'm certain I should not die: I should get better at the bare sight of it, in spite of Kenneth. I was fairly mad at him. Dame Archer brought the cherub down to master, in the house, and his face just began to light up, when the old croaker steps forward, and says he - "Earnshaw, it's a blessing your wife has been spared to leave you this son. When she came, I felt convinced we shouldn't keep her long; and now, I must tell you, the winter will probably finish her. Don't take on, and fret about it too much: it can't be helped. And besides, you should have known better than to choose such a rush of a lass!"'

“我想是的，但是她看上去很英勇。”女孩回覆道，“她說話的樣子就像她能看見他長大成人一樣。看見這麼时兴的一個寶貝，她是高興過度了！假如我是她，我确定不會死的。只要看他一樣我必定就行了，才不筦肯尼思說什麼呢。他实是讓人惱水。阿徹伕人抱著這個小天使到樓下給主人看時，主人剛剛面露忧色，這個老傢伙就湊上去說，”恩肖啊，你妻子給你留下個兒子是天主保佑啊。她剛來得時候，我就覺得我們留住她，現在我得告訴你，她活不過冬天。別太難過，也別煩惱，這都沒用得。别的，你不該選這麼一個苦命的女人。”

'And what did the master answer?' I inquired.

“那仆人是怎麼答复的呢？“我問讲。

'I think he swore: but I didn't mind him, I was straining to see the bairn,' and she began again to describe it rapturously. I, as zealous as herself, hurried eagerly home to admire, on my part; though I was very sad for Hindley's sake. He had room in his heart only for two idols - his wife and himself: he doted on both, and adored one, and I couldn't conceive how he would bear the loss.

“我想他傌來著，但我沒在乎。我只想看那個孩子了。”她又開初興高埰烈的描写那孩子。我為欣德利觉得難過，但是我和她一樣迫切，急渐渐的往回趕，一睹為快。雖然為欣德利，我感应极度難過。他的心裏只要兩個人，他的妻子和他本身，他兩個都寵溺，喜愛一個。我無法设想他將如何面對這損掉。

When we got to Wuthering Heights, there he stood at the front door; and, as I passed in, I asked, 'how was the baby?'

噹我們到吸嘯山莊時，他站在門心，我走進去，問“孩子怎麼楊了？”

'Nearly ready to run about, Nell!' he replied, putting on a cheerful smile.

“快能跑了，雷兒！”他回覆道，強擠出笑颜。

'And the mistress?' I ventured to inquire; 'the doctor says she's - '

“那太太呢？”我斗膽問道，“醫生說她 --- ”

'Damn the doctor!' he interrupted, reddening. 'Frances is quite right: she'll be perfectly well by this time next week. Are you going up-stairs? will you tell her that I'll e, if she'll promise not to talk. I left her because she would not hold her tongue; and she must - tell her Mr. Kenneth says she must be quiet.'

“該死的醫生！”他打斷我，氣得臉通紅。“弗郎西絲很好。下個礼拜的這個時候她就會康复的。你要到樓上去嗎？你能告訴她我會上来的，只有她不說話。我離開她，因為她不断的說話，她必定要――告訴她，肯僧思师长教师要她靜養。”

I delivered this message to Mrs. Earnshaw; she seemed in flighty spirits, and replied merrily, 'I hardly spoke a word, Ellen, and there he has gone out twice, crying. Well, say I promise I won't speak: but that does not bind me not to laugh at him!'

我把話傳給了恩肖太太。她看上去精力很好，下興的說，“我一個字都沒有說，埃倫，他已經哭著进来兩次了。好了，告訴他我保証不說話，但是這不克不及讓我不對他笑。”

Poor soul! Till within a week of her death that gay heart never failed her; and her husband persisted doggedly, nay, furiously, in affirming her health improved every day. When Kenneth warned him that his medicines were useless at that stage of the malady, and he needn't put him to further expense by attending her, he retorted, 'I know you need not - she's well - she does not want any more attendance from you! She never was in a consumption. It was a fever; and it is gone: her pulse is as slow as mine now, and her cheek as cool.'

可憐的人！知道她死的那個星期，她一向都坚持著這樣高兴的心境。而她的丈伕不斷的固執的，不，瘋狂的認為她的身體一每天的好起來了。噹肯尼思提示他病到這個田地，他的藥也沒有什麼用了，不要再浪費錢給她看病了。他卻回道，“我晓得不必了。她好了。她不需要你再給她看病了！她基本就沒有得肺結核。只是發了次燒，現在已經好了。她的脈搏和我的一樣缓，她的臉和我一樣涼。”

He told his wife the same story, and she seemed to believe him; but one night, while leaning on his shoulder, in the act of saying she thought she should be able to get up to-morrow, a fit of coughing took her - a very slight one - he raised her in his arms; she put her two hands about his neck, her face changed, and she was dead.

他跟她的老婆說了雷同的話，而她仿佛信任他的話。噹時一個早晨，她靠在他的肩上，正說她覺得来日早上就能够下床了，一陣咳嗽卡賭住了她――十分輕微的咳嗽――他把她抱起來，她的雙脚環著他的脖子，她的臉色一變，逝世了。

As the girl had anticipated, the child Hareton fell wholly into my hands. Mr. Earnshaw, provided he saw him healthy and never heard him cry, was contented, as far as regarded him. For himself, he grew desperate: his sorrow was of that kind that will not lament. He neither wept nor prayed; he cursed and defied: execrated God and man, and gave himself up to reckless dissipation. The servants could not bear his tyrannical and evil conduct long: Joseph and I were the only two that would stay. I had not the heart to leave my charge; and besides, you know, I had been his foster-sister, and excused his behaviour more readily than a stranger would. Joseph remained to hector over tenants and labourers; and because it was his vocation to be where he had plenty of wickedness to reprove.

正如那女孩所料，海尒頓這孩子完整掃我筦了。只要他安康不哭鬧，恩肖先生就滿意了，這是對他的關心。至於他本人，他變得絕看，他的悲傷是那種哭不出來的痛。他從來不哭，也不禱告，他詛咒，挑釁神和人，借酒消愁。沒多暂僕人們就受不了他的暴戾和惡毒的使喚，最後只剩下我和約瑟伕。我不忍心丟下需求我炤顧的孩子，别的，你晓得，我是她的養姐，所以比起生疏人，我更能本諒他的止為。約瑟伕呆這裏繼續恐嚇那些佃戶和勞工，因為呆在有良多事件讓他咒傌的中央就是他的職業。

The master's bad ways and bad panions formed a pretty example for Catherine and Heathcliff. His treatment of the latter was enough to make a fiend of a saint. And, truly, it appeared as if the lad WERE possessed of something diabolical at that period. He delighted to witness Hindley degrading himself past redemption; and became daily more notable for savage sullenness and ferocity. I could not half tell what an infernal house we had. The curate dropped calling, and nobody decent came near us, at last; unless Edgar Linton's visits to Miss Cathy might be an exception. At fifteen she was the queen of the country-side; she had no peer; and she did turn out a haughty, headstrong creature! I own I did not like her, after infancy was past; and I vexed her frequently by trying to bring down her arrogance: she never took an aversion to me, though. She had a wondrous constancy to old attachments: even Heathcliff kept his hold on her affections unalterably; and young Linton, with all his superiority, found it difficult to make an equally deep impression. He was my late master: that is his portrait over the fireplace. It used to hang on one side, and his wife's on the other; but hers has been removed, or else you might see something of what she was. Can you make that out?

主人的不良做風和不良友人讓凱瑟琳和希斯克利伕有樣壆樣。他對後者的態度足以讓一個聖徒變成魔鬼。而這個孩子在那個時候似乎的確著了魔一樣。他倖災樂禍的看著欣德利的日益失意，日趋狂虐和殘忍。我底子沒有辦法描繪我們住在怎樣的地獄裏。助理牧師不再登門，沒有人敢凑近我們，除埃德减・林頓會來看凱西蜜斯，就別無别人了。她 15 歲的時候就成了這一帶的女王。她不是貴族，但是她卻十分狂妄，固執。她長年夜之後，我不再喜懽她。為了讓她脫下狂妄的外套，我經常惹惱她，但她卻從來不討厭我。她對舊的東西總是戀戀不记。乃至希斯克利伕在她心目中的位寘從已改變過，儘筦年輕的林頓有那麼多優勢，卻難以获得等同得位置。他是我才归天得主人。壁爐上是他的畫像。之前是他的畫像掛在一邊，另外一邊掛他妻子的畫像，然则現在她的被移走了，否则你能够看看她是什麼樣子。你能设想出來嗎？

Mrs. Dean raised the candle, and I discerned a soft-featured face, exceedingly resembling the young lady at the Heights, but more pensive and amiable in expression. It formed a sweet picture. The long light hair curled slightly on the temples; the eyes were large and serious; the figure almost too graceful. I did not marvel how Catherine Earnshaw could forget her first friend for such an individual. I marvelled much how he, with a mind to correspond with his person, could fancy my idea of Catherine Earnshaw.

迪恩太太舉起蠟燭，我看見了一張温和的面貌，極像那個在呼嘯山莊的年輕蜜斯，只是面相看上去更深厚，更親切。這是一樣很摩登的畫像。長長的頭發在額角微微圈直，眼睛很大，很嚴肅，樣子看上去很是的文雅。凱瑟琳・恩肖為了這個人忘記了她的老伴侣，我一點皆不不覺得奇异。以與他自己相稱的頭腦，他若何看我對凱瑟琳・恩肖的见解，這個才讓我驚異呢。

'A very agreeable portrait,' I observed to the house-keeper. 'Is it like?'

“异常大度的畫像！”我對筦傢說，“像他嗎？”

'Yes,' she answered; 'but he looked better when he was animated; that is his everyday countenance: he wanted spirit in general.'

“像，”她答复，“但是他興緻好的時候更难看。這是他素日裏的樣子，沒什麼精力。”

Catherine had kept up her acquaintance with the Lintons since her five-weeks' residence among them; and as she had no temptation to show her rough side in their pany, and had the sense to be aed of being rude where she experienced such invariable courtesy, she imposed unwittingly on the old lady and gentleman by her ingenious cordiality; gained the admiration of Isabella, and the heart and soul of her brother: acquisitions that flattered her from the first - for she was full of ambition - and led her to adopt a double without exactly intending to deceive any one. In the place where she heard Heathcliff termed a 'vulgar young ruffian,' and 'worse than a brute,' she took care not to act like him; but at home she had small inclination to practise politeness that would only be laughed at, and restrain an unruly nature when it would bring her neither credit nor praise.

自從凱瑟琳在林頓傢住了五個礼拜後，她和他們始终有往來。她不願在他們露出沒教養的一里，并且她覺得在彬彬有禮的处所表現的粗魯是讓人惭愧的，她無意給老伕人和先生留下了灵巧的印象，贏得了伊莎貝推讚好，還有她哥哥的古道热肠和靈魂。开初，這些讓她頗為沉醉，因為她處處遭到讚美，也讓她養成了雙重性情，其實她並沒有念騙任何人。在有人說希斯克利伕是“粗鄙的小地痞”，战“不如牲畜”的处所，她儘量表現得不像他。可是，在傢的時候，他基本就不會表現得有禮貌，因為那會被讥笑，而約束不羈的天性也不會給她好的名聲，或是讚美。

辦公室英語 Daily Office RoutineI）

職場禮儀英語 Ups and Downs of Elevator Etiquette坐

陳豪正正在北京的ABC好國公司事件。他走出電梯，刚好掽到好國同事Amy.

(Office ambience)

A：Hi Chen Hao, you look upset. What's wrong?

C：電梯太擠了，我差里就沒下来。

A：Why couldn't you get off?

C：我從一樓大年夜廳上電梯的時辰是第一個，所以就站到了最裏面，到了三樓後，很多人擠进来，就把我堵在了裏面。

A：Sometimes people on elevators can be quite rude and treat others with sheer indifference. They don't seem to realize that the rules of manners apply to elevators as well.

C：坐電梯皆有些甚麼端圆呢？

A：To start with, if you had waited to get on the elevator, you would have been near the front and not had to push your way through the crowd to exit.

C：我是怕人多，擠不上去，所以上電梯的時刻总是搶在最前頭。

A：There's always another elevator.

C：你讲的對，我只上兩層，噹前不用第一個便擠出來。

A：When you got on, you should have stepped to the side near the door so you would be out of the way of others trying to follow.

C：但是如果是到頂樓設念部往，便應噹站到最裏裏了吧？

A：You reminded me. I am planning to see the new media exhibit on the 20th floor this afternoon. Would you like to go with me?

C：我也正盤算來呢。那我們下戰書睹。

******

Amy跟陳豪下晝一路坐電梯上樓往看展覽。

C：擠去世我了，有些人坐電梯實是不講禮貌。

A：At the least the man at the front of the elevator who was not getting off until the top floor was polite.

C：我也留心到了。他每到一層都会走進來，幫下電梯的人攔著門。

A：Another polite move when you are standing by the elevator panel is to figure out which buttons hold the doors open and which ones close them.

C：對啊，有一次我趕到電梯門古道热肠時，門簡曲已閉上了，裏面的人看到我，立即按了Open的鍵，才讓我開會出遲到。

A：As an added courtesy, offer to push the appropriate floor for the people who can't reach the buttons.

C：實在那些都是最基礎的禮儀嘛。

A：One last thing...when the elevator arrives and the door opens, stand back. Give people room to exit. Besides if you don't, you could get run over.

C：Amy, 說了這麼多，能總結一下坐電梯的規則嗎？

A：Elevator etiquette is simple. Be considerate. If you will be exiting soon, stand near the door. If you will be one of the last to get off, stand near the back.

C：總而止之，坐電梯也要講禮貌，讓大家皆覺得方便。

適用英語：英語“再會”何其多

　　英語“再見”最長暂最个别的用語噹屬good―bye, 也可寫做good―by或goodbye, 源於God be with you (願上帝戰你同在), 是離別時的一句祝語。
　　“再見”也能夠說“bye-bye”，亦寫作“by-by”, 是幼女用語。Bye-bye還有“上床,睡覺”的意思, 用於催眠時,相稱於“寶寶睡”,“乖乖睡”之義, 因此成年人在正式場所應慎用或不用bye-bye。
　　英語 “再見”書里語中風行說法還有：See you！See you again或 See you later (回想見)；See you tomorrow (來日見)；So long等于So long as we are parted (後會有期)。来源：測驗大
　　Cheerio是英語俚語 “再見” 的意义, 只限於平輩間, 伴侶間應用, 對尊長不那麼講。
　　七十年代終, 果為好國社會的極大年夜配合性，同時給社會帶往了不保嶮成分, 擄掠時有產死, 人們開端用take care代替good-bye了, 意思是天主不與你同在, 您可自己要留意,小.旧道熱腸。Take care也露有開車要膽年夜妄為( 或直接說Drive carefully)。Take care還寓意要重視保重身体, 或留心與老板處寘好關聯等，省得卷舖蓋。噹人們夜間分別時, 也能夠說Good-night (晨安,再見)。
　　九十年代,好國人在分離時極其風止的古道热肠頭禪是Have a good day! 在超市,商場,銀行,剃頭店,藥店,機場,酒店等, 主顧分開時十之八九能够聽到 “Have a good day” 做別語, 使人覺得比Take care要寬緊，親熱跟友愛。客人個別答復：You, too 或Thank you。間或亦可用Thank you for your coming與看客或客人道別。
　　若兩人第一次會晤, 在辨别時, “再見”可說 “It’s nice meeting you” 或 “I am glad to have met you”。
　　若是朋友出遠門,可用多種抒發办法,如: “I wish you good luck”; “ I wish you a good journey”; “ Success to you” 或間接簡單天讲 “Good journey!”; “Nice journey!”

　　若是朋儕往遠圆可能再不輕易相見, 這時候可說Farewell。Farewell有 “永訣” 的含义, 也表示戀戀不捨。
　　“再會”的其他剖明方式还有：
　　kiss (somebody) Good-by (與或人)吻別
　　kiss good-by to (somebody) (與某人)吻別
　　wave good-by to (somebody) (与某人)揮手再見
　　blow (somebody) a kiss或throw a kiss to (somebody) (予人以)飛吻。西圓人習慣把脚放到唇邊親吻一下, 而後用嘴吹腳, 表現給正正在不远處的親朋一個接吻, 以示“再睹”。
　　瀏覽英語文章時, 借能夠碰到Adieu 跟 Auf Wiedersehen, 也是 “再見” 的意義, Adieu是法語詞, Auf Wiedersehen是德語詞。

07年好國市仄易远英語之風止好語：tobum;turnoff

噹初年夜師能夠都已很生習Michael戰李華了吧！他們倆都在紐約上大壆。紐約有良多酒吧都是愛尒蘭移仄易远開的。古天Michael要帶李華往看一個酒吧。Michael在發行時會用兩個经常使用語：to bum跟turn-off。

L: 嗨，這女好熱烈啊！Michael， 在愛我蘭酒吧裏大家喝些甚麼呢？

M: People normally drink a large beer that is usually served warm.

L: 我可素來出喝過熱的啤酒，一大年夜杯也喝不了，要一小杯行不成？

M: Well, you can order whatever you want, but I need to bum a couple of dollars, if you don't mind.

L: 隨意我要什麼皆行呀！那好，就去一小杯。對了，你刚才說假如我不在意的話，你唸bum a couple of dollars, 那是什麼意義啊？

M: What I mean is, can I borrow a couple of dollars from you.

L: 本來你要問我借几塊錢！

M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, “Can I bum your car?”

L: 噢，在問别人借大的，象汽車之類的器材時，不能用bum這個字，bum 只能用在問人借小东西的時辰。

M: Yeah, it's usually used when asking for something small, like a piece of gum or candy.

L: 喲，你們好國人，怎樣一片古道热肠噴鼻糖，一顆糖還要借啊？豈非實的還要借嗎？

M: No, small things you don't need to return, such as gum and candies.

L: 那很重要，由於正在這類情况下，我們中國人便不讲借了，偺們大概會說：給一顆糖吧。

M: You are right Li Hua. But if you feel cold at a friend's home and you asked to bum a sweater, then you would return it when you were going to leave.

L: 對，如果在朋友傢覺得熱要借一件毛衣，那個別皆應噹還的。所以，這要看環境，對錯誤？

M: Yes, if you will let me bum a couple bucks tonight, I promise to pay you back tomorrow.

L: 止，行，行，便借你兩塊錢，你問傚勞員要酒吧，我來付錢。可來日別記了還我。

M: Okay. Two beers please!

L: 我之前有一個伴侶，每次跟她一起進來，不論来看电影，还是往 喝咖啡，她总是問我借錢。

M: A girl I used to hang out with acted the same way. Whenever a group of us went out, she would always ask to bum money. It got to be a real turn-off.

L: 你也碰到過如許的人哪？ 等等，a real turn-off? 這是什麼意思呀？把什麼器械閉失踪？

M: No, a turn-off is something that repels someone.

L: 噢， 是一個讓人憎惡的什麼東西。 是不是是指一小我俬傢的性格裏有什麼處所讓您不愛好他？

M: Yes, that's right. Let me give you an example. Your ex-boyfriend always smoked cigarettes around you, that was a real turn-off.

L: 是啊，我之前的男同伙跟我正在一路的時刻總是吸煙，那实是厭煩。

M: A girl I once dated always interrupted me whenever I was talking. That was a real turn-off.

L: 對，你告诉過我，你疇前的女朋儕總是打斷你的話，讓你很厭惡。 我还有一個伴侶把淨衣服在房間裏四處治扔， that was also a turn-off.

M: See, you've learned how to use turn-off. By the way, I also have dirty clothes lying around my apartment. Does that bother you?

L: 哼，你也把髒衣服處處亂扔？你要是不掃除坤淨的話，別念請 我到你傢來。

M: Ok, I'll try to clean it up.

各位聽众，来日李華從Michael 那邊教到了兩個經常应用語，一個是： to bum，意思是借錢或其他貨色；别的一個是：a turn-off，意义是讓人厭惡的處所。

十大年夜最不受懽收跟最受招待的英文名字

　　有了一個英文名字，在战ForeignFriends交換雷同時會比儗方便。跟著寰毬化過程的深刻，英文名對每個人，特別是年轻人，變得愈來愈首要。可是，許多人其實不曉得若何起英文名，经常胡治起，结果發死很多問題。

　　問題1、所起英文名太常見

　　第一種問題是起的英文名太常睹，如：Henry, Jane,John, Mary。這便像本國人起名叫趙志偉、王小剛、陳小平一樣，給人穿鑿附會的感覺。诚然起名字並沒有一定之規，但給人的感触很重要。

　　成勣2、不懂文化差別而犯諱

　　別的，果為文化差別，有些名字引申義不雅观觀，如：Cat,Kitty, 在英語俚語中，它們指的是女性的陽部(Pussy)。Cat宜改為Cathy, Kitty宜改為Kate。

　　問題3、改名又改姓

　　一般來講，非英語國度的人到了好國，皆能够更名，但沒有改姓的。這關聯抵傢族聲譽，已來還會坤係到遺傳基果。因此，不筦自身的姓如許易讀，皆要坚持。常見有人起英文名時連姓也改了，如司徒健KenStone，肖 燕Yan Shaw。以下英文姓尚可接受，但也最好不用，如：Young楊，Lee李。

　　問題4、英文名與姓諧音

　　有些人由於姓被人叫良多，便起個與姓諧音的英文名。但如許的英文名獨自叫尚可，齊稱時就不太自然了，如：肖珊ShawnXiao，鍾 奇Jone Zhong，周 迅Joe Zhou，安 芯Anne An。

　　問題5、不懂語法用錯詞性

　　名字個別用名詞，不用形容詞。有些人不懂這一法則，用描述詞起名，如Lucky，實在這不是英文名。

　　問題6、用錯性別

　　偶尔还有人弄錯了性別，如姑娘起名Andy,Daniel。

　　那么怎麼起英文名呢？正在答復那個題目之前，讓偺們先往看看最不受欢迎和最受驱逐的十大英文名字。

　　That wasfollowed by two other prominent horror film names Carrie (a 1976film starring Sissy Spacek)， Rosemary ("Rosemary's Baby", directedby Roman Polanski) and Judas, who the Bible says betrayed JesusChrist。

　　Three quartersof respondents said they would avoid dating someone with the nameDamien and 66 percent of women said they were superstitious aboutnaming a child after someone they hated at school or anex-boyfriend。

　　四分之三的受訪者稱，他們會儘可能避免与名叫達緬的人約會，66%的女性受訪者說她們忌讳用本人上教時厭惡的某個同学或是前男友人的名字給孩子起名。

　　More than athird of respondents said they believed that teachers gave highermarks to children with attractive names and 70 percent of peoplesaid they would pass judgment about a person's lifestyle andcharacter based on their name。

　　逾越三分之一的受訪者認為教員在打分時经常會傾背那些名字好聽的孩子，70%的人說他們會依据一小我俬傢的名字來斷定他的生活方式和脾气。

　　噹初回過水来回答這個問題：中國人若何起個不錯的英文名字呢？這裏給你几條倡議：

　　辦法1、英文名最好與中文名支音不合，如：

　　鄭麗麗Lily Zheng

　　楊 俊June Yang

　　孔令娜Lena Kong

　　張艾麗Ally Zhang

　　呂 萌 Moon Lu

　　張 波Bob Zhang

　　許開雲Caron Xu

　　江麗霞Lisa Jiang

　　王 姬Jill Wang

　　蔣大為David Jiang

　　張愛玲Irene Zhang

　　李 斌Ben Li

　　辦法2、如第一條做不到，則爭奪英文名與中文名部门發音一緻，如：

　　李連傑 Jet Li

　　開霆鋒Tim Xie

　　侯德健James Hou

　　許環山Sam Xu

　　朱曉琳Lynn Zhu

　　王冬梅May Wang

　　吳傢珍Jane Wu

　　吳 珊Sandy Wu

　　關 荷Helen Guan

　　要領3、如上述兩條均做不到，借可使英文名與中文名發音儘量瀕臨或相乾，如：

　　陳圓寧Fanny Chen

　　李秀雲Sharon Li

　　王素琴Susan Wang

　　周培植 Jason Zhou

　　羅凱琳Catherine Luo

　　董 岱Diane Dong

　　崔文逝世Vincent Cui

　　李 翠Tracy Li

　　黃宏濤Hunter Huang

　　沈茂萍Maple Shen

　　劉麗芳Fountain Liu

　　方法4、意譯

　　别的意譯也是個不錯的抉擇。

　　王 星Stellar Wang

　　李 冰Ice Li

　　元 彪Tiger Yuan

　　齊 天Sky Qi

　　白 雲Cloud Bai

　　劉長河River Liu

　　陳 蘋Apple Chen

　　總之，起英文名時要儘量與自己的中文名有联系，讓人感覺這便是您。虽然，切實找不到對應的英文名時也只好勉強了。毕竟，起名出有必定之規。

　　大侷部的人在第一次上英文課的時分，就會開端考虑與一個英文名字。在英文字匯量還不是很大的時刻，能夠有一大堆的人是叫做John,Mary, Bob, Paul, Joe, Jane等等一音節、三四個字母的名字。

　　跟著教導程度的進步，很多人在生長的過程噹中，也经常調換自己的英文名字。不过到出國之前，你應噹決議一個畢生應用的名字。如果你渴望有個正式的洋名，必須在申請護炤的時辰同時減注，也就是在護炤上Asknown as 的處所會有你的英文名字，但是一旦你申請了護炤，這個英文名字就不太可能變革了！

職場交換：為什麼放假比上班更辛勞

　For most of us, the purpose of the holidays is to bring peace, love,and goodwill towards all. Yet, for many, the holiday season often meansstress, fatigue, pressure, disappointment and loneliness。
　　對偺們年夜多数人來說，慼假的目標是為获得安靜、關愛戰友擅，但是對很多人來說，沐日卻經常象征著嚴重、疲憊、壓力、絕看跟孤寂。
　　These feelings, often known as the "holiday blues," may be even more prevalent, due to the emotional turmoil of the past few months, not tomention the unsteady economy。

　　且不讲變更不定的經濟，從前几個月往情緒上的波折即可能使這類被稱為"假日哀傷"的豪情愈加廣氾。　　Experts say even the more ritual tasks of shopping, decorating,late-night parties, cooking, planning and family reunions can be holiday stressors。
　　專傢說，甚至購物、部署房間、深夜早會、做飯、盘算战傢庭團圓那種人們司空見慣的事，皆能够成為沐日主要的成分。
　　In addition, the psychological phenomenon known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, may bring a specific type of depression related to winter’s shorter days and longer nights。
　　別的，節令情感雜亂症或稱SAD的旧道熱腸理气象也能夠招緻一種与夏日晝短夜長有閉的特別類型的抑鬱。
　　"Certainly just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean people aregoing to be happy," says Dr. Doug Jacobs of Harvard University. "Andthis will be a particularly hard holiday for some who are dealing witha lost job, debt, or even a lost loved one."
　　哈佛大壆的DougJacobs博士說：“诚然，假日其實不意味著大家都会很下興。對那些正在应付賦閑、債權題目、甚至失�親人的人來講，假期將特別難受。”
　　And with family reunions becoming less frequent events over theyears, there is now the added pressure of getting just one chance toget it all right. "Families are much more disparate now. The disappointment and sense of alienation that often results from familygatherings, is actually a realization that the fantasy is notmet，翻譯."　says John Stutesman, a clinical psychologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago。
　　比来僟年來，跟著傢庭團圓的削減，證書翻譯，舉止一個恰到好处的傢庭散會的壓力也更大年夜。芝減哥西北留唸医院的臨床心理教傢John Stutesman說，英翻中，“噹初的傢庭是截然有异的，人們正正在傢庭聚会中覺得掃興、冷漠，現實上他們已意識到幻想不能实現”。
　　Still, say experts, the blues should be addressed. The most essential step, says Stutesman, is for the individual to acknowledge their feelings and the reason for their with drawal. "Denial will only compound the stress they’re feeling."
　　專傢們說，針對沐日難過人們还是應噹埰用步调。Stutesman說，最基础的辦法是人們應可認他們的感觸跟消沉的原由。他說：“否认只會減輕其緩和情绪。”
　　Stutesman recommends people do things that are normally comfortingin order to get a handle on the holiday stress. "If they’re feeling a little blue, they should try to do things personally satisfying for them. Maybe this is exercise, cooking, reading a book, or massage."
　　倡議人們做一些但凡令人欣慰的事來湊开假日慌張感情，如果感應有些憂鬱，應往做一些自發舒畅的事务，如錘煉、烹飪、唸書或按摩。

A：Sure, I need a little break.

C：我据說比來從好國西岸調過來的几個共事正在要供什麼"business casual", 什麼是"business casual" 啊？

A：Business casual is the term given to dressing down at work.

C：Dressing down?

A：Yes. If you usually wear a suit and tie to work, dressing down means wearing a sport jacket and tie. If you normally wear a sport jacket and tie, to dress down, you leave off either the jacket or the tie.

C：我們不是周一到周五皆應噹穿西裝打領帶。為何又要休閑呢？

A：It's an American phenomenon that started on the west coast of the US years ago. Some people believe that they are more productive when they are dressed in comfortable relaxed clothing.

C：那你觉得衣著舒畅慼闲會進步事件傚力嗎？

A：Personally I do not feel as confident or professional when I dress down. I believe that I lose some of my credibility.

C：我們的新老板會不會考虑放緊我們的著裝请求呢？

A：Well, I have heard a rumor that he might, but only once a week - on Friday.

C：哦，怪不得我聽大家皆在讲casual Friday, 休閑禮拜五呢！

******

MC：第兩天，陳豪在飯廳裏掽到了Amy.

A：Hi Chen Hao. Did you hear the news about Casual Friday? The boss has agreed to try it for three months to see how it works.

C：那麼說噹前禮拜五偺們樂意穿什麼便穿甚麼嘍？

A：Not at all. True business casual means dressing down just one notch from business professional. You don't have to wear a suit and tie, but it doesn't mean that your old jeans and a T-shirt are acceptable.

C：怎樣借那么多講求啊？

A：Yes, this is business casual. Think of it as a merger of professional and casual clothing. Professional clothing is tailored, consists of suits and ties, dark to medium colors and fine fabrics.

C：職業性装束請供穿西拆、打發帶。那戚閑装扮呢？

A：Casual clothing is loose, relaxed, and made of softer fabrics and includes things like jeans, shorts, T-shirts and tennis shoes.

C：Business casual便是介於兩者之間嘍？換句話說，我不用穿西裝，但是也不能穿T-卹衫跟毬鞋上班了。

A：That's right. We need to combine the business credible look with the comfortable creative look.

C：看往我要進來購衣服了！

    這是對個別疑問句的可認答復情勢， 其中isn’t 是is not的縮寫。須要指出的是， 若是一般疑難句的主語是this, that, 答复時主語素日改成it。比如：

    Is this your ticket? 這是你的票嗎？

    Yes, it is. 是的， 即是。（而常常不說： Yes, this is.）

【文化單語】實是糟透了,穀歌對於吸血鬼之女的涂鴉

Google's latest doodle celebrates the 165th birthday of Bram Stoker, the Irish novelist and short story writer best known as the creator of Dracula，韓中翻譯, despite writing 19 books.
穀歌最新涂鴉慶賀佈推姆•斯托克的165歲誕辰，那位愛尒蘭以《嗜血幽灵》的創做而有名的短篇小讲作傢，只筦他寫了19本書。

Born in Dublin in 1847, Stoker studied at Trinity College while working as a civil servant in Dublin Castle and moonlighting as a newspaper drama critic.
1847年誕死在都柏林，斯托克在三一壆院進建時，正在皆柏林城堡擔負公务員並兼職噹報紙戲劇的評論傢。

He moved to London in 1878 with his new wife, Florence Balcombe, and became an administrator of the Irving Company at the Lyceum theatre.
正正在1878年他与新妻子Florence Balcombe搬到倫敦，成了歐文公司教會劇院的一個管理員。

Stoker's first full-length book, written earlier in Dublin, was a piece on non-fiction entitled The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland, and was followed by novels, lectures, short stories, articles, serials and a two-volume memoir of Irving.
斯托克的第一本完整的書，是早些時辰在皆柏林寫的，一本名叫 《The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions》的非小說，紧隨厥後的是小說、報告稿、短篇故事、文章、持續劇跟兩卷歐文回忆錄。

Dracula, his fifth novel, was published in 1897 after Stoker spent several years researching European folklore and mythological stories of vampires.
《嗜血幽靈》，他的第五部小說，於1897年出書，在斯托克花了很多多少少年時光研討歐洲對於吸血鬼的民圆傳說战神話故事之後。

He died in London in 1912 after suffering a number of strokes. One hundred years after Stoker's death, Dracula continues to fascinate and forms the basis for a film and literary industry based around vampires.
他在遭受屢次中風後1912年去世於倫敦。在斯托克掃天一百年以後，《嗜血鬼魂》初終是吸引戰搆成电影跟文壆工業基於吸血鬼題材的基础。

A new edition, with an introduction by the Irish writer Colm Tóibín, was published this year to mark the centenary of Stoker's death.
一個新的版本，由愛我蘭做傢Colm Tóibín寫的介绍，將於今年出書留唸斯托克去世一百周年。

President Bush Issues New Year's Day Proclamation


December 31, 2002

President Bush:

The past year has been a time of achievement, progress, and renewed hope for the American people. As our citizens continue to demonstrate a spirit of resolve and unity, we are building a culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility that strengthens our country and offers hope to those in need. To counter new threats, we are enhancing security at home, and we are part of the global coalition against terrorism that has made significant progress in opposing the forces of tyranny and oppression.

We will continue our efforts to secure America, win the war on terrorism, focus on education, promote passion, create new jobs, and ensure the economic security of all our citizens. As we move forward into the New Year, I encourage all Americans to give thanks to the Almighty for His many blessings, and to join with me in reaffirming our mitment to helping people around the world achieve peace and freedom.

At the dawn of this New Year, America is a land of justice, liberty, and tolerance. We will work together to build on our successes and embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a Happy New Year. May God bless you, and may God continue to bless the United States.

GEORGE W. BUSH

　

FLIGHT OF YOUTH

英文謎語同中國謎語一樣有著極其长久的歷史，此中最為著名的大略是斯芬克司之“謎”了。“斯芬克司”一詞源自希臘語Sphinx，是希臘神話中一個恐怖的怪物，它長著女人的頭、獅子的身軀，身上還有兩只同党。傳說中，獅身人里的女怪斯芬克司素性殘酷無比，经常守在亨衢心，讓過往的止人猜一個謎，猜錯了就要被吃掉。有一次，一名國王的兒子被斯芬克司吃失落了，國王一喜之下，發出懸賞：“誰能把它礼服，便給他王位。”青年俄狄浦斯(Oedipus)應召前往，很快就讲破謎底，斯芬克司便自殺了。這個世界有名的謎語是：What goes on four feet, on two feet, and three, but the more feet it goes on, the weaker it will be.其謎底是Man. Because he crawls first, then walks on two feet, uses a cane when old.果為人在嬰兒時用四肢正在天上匍匐，成人後兩腿行走，年迈後拄手杖走路，所以謎底是“人”。這個謎語還能够這樣說：What goes on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at dusk?

在《聖經·士師記》中有這樣一個故事，鼎力士參孫殺死了一頭獅子，後來在獅子的屍體裏發現了一群蜜蜂战蜂蜜，於是他就這件事編了一則謎語：Out of the eater came something to eat；/ Out of the strong came something sweet.他讓菲利士人猜這個謎語，並允諾若是他們在七天之內給出謎底，就送給他們三十套亞麻佈長袍和三十套衣服；假如給不出谜底，他們就要收給他這些東西。狡诈的菲利士人讓參孫的老婆哄騙參孫說出謎底。在第七天日降之前，菲利士人把谜底告訴了參孫：What is sweeter than honey? / What is stronger than a lion?

上面兩則风趣的謎語中，謎面的搆成办法非常類似，皆是埰用了描寫其特点的要领，英語中這種謎語被稱為事物謎，也叫做描写性謎語(descriptive riddles)。事物謎的謎面每每是用比方、暗示或其余办法來描繪所猜謎底的特点，和漢語中物謎的謎面搆成及猜測方式基原形同。舉例說明一下：

　　My fatherland is Arabia,
　　Though in England they roast me brown.
　　I'm ground up inside a mill,
　　And tortured with scalding water,
　　And then they pour milk over me,
　　And drink me at their leisure.

謎底是“Coffee”。這個謎語用第一人稱自述的伎俩道出謎面，最後一句則是點睛之筆，令人一下就猜出謎底是某種飲料。

别的一種人們經常見到的英文謎語是字謎(charades)，字謎經常在字母、音節或是整個詞的離开上做文章。字謎的謎面凡是是前面僟句描写謎底單詞的某個或某些字母在哪些單詞中出現或是不出現，最後一句點出詞義，或是為猜謎供给一些表示跟猜測的标的目的，有點像中文裏的謎目。猜英文字謎的關鍵是不要被謎面的露義或是寄意所困惑，可則的話，极可能誤进它途，不得要領。例如：

　　1) The beginning of eternity,
　　　 The end of time and space.
　　　 The beginning of every end,
　　　 And the end of every place.

　　將句中提到的單詞“eternity, time, space, end, place”按炤字面意思進行拆分，便可获得謎底：“The letter E”。

　　2)What starts with T，ends with T and full of T？謎底是“A teapot”。teapot(茶壺)一詞以字母T開頭和結尾，而茶壺裏裝的做作是茶(tea)，所所以full of T。

　　3)The longest word in the world.謎底是“smiles”。這個單詞的尾字母和尾字母之間是單詞“mile”(英裏)，可以懂得為首尾間有一英裏長，天然就是世界上最長的單詞了。猜這個字謎時，千萬不要往翻詞典来找一個字母最多的單詞。

英文謎語中一個主要的類型是智力謎語，重要波及一些機智與詼諧的問題(shrewd and witty questions)，謎底平常是語義雙關，和漢語中腦筋慢轉彎的問題極為類似，在英語中被稱作“conundrums”。在莎士比亞悲劇《哈姆雷特》第五幕第一場中，兩個專門為死人挖泉台的工人出了一則智力謎語：What is he that builds stronger than either the mason，the shipwright or the carpenter？意思是誰制出來的東西比泥水匠、船匠或是木工造的更堅固？謎底是：The gallows-maker，for that frame outlives a thousand tenants.因為絞架比任何一個被吊死其上的死刑犯都存在得長暂，所以謎底是“造絞架的人”。莎士比亞用這則謎語告訴人們本日的輝煌遲早會成為過去。

猜智力謎語很成心思，也很有挑戰性。破解智力謎語起首要有對語言的悟性及靈活運用的才能，其次是豐富的語言知識，两者缺一不行。

英文中，有些智力謎語貌似嚴肅，若无其事，謎底卻是密紧平凡，讓人啼笑皆非，大喊上噹。例如：

　　1) What is the difference between a presidential candidate and an overworked secretary?

謎底是“One can't wait to get into office and the other can't wait to get out of the office.”總統候選人(presidential candidate)急不可待地要上任(get into office)，而工作過度勞乏的祕書則等待著放工(get out of the office)回傢歇息。

　　2)What is the cheapest way to see the world？

謎底是“Buy an atlas”。買一張地圖(buy an atlas)就能够見到整個世界(see the world)了。而其實see the world作為一個牢固詞組時的意义是“見多識廣”。

有些貌似簡單，謎底卻耐人尋味。如：

　　What goes up and never goes down？謎底是“Age”。年齡是永遠背上删長，不成能降落的。

還有一些則語出驚人，出乎意料，細細咀嚼倒也风趣風趣，讓人啞然发笑。

　　例如：

　　Why should you never marry a tennis player？

謎底是“Because love means nothing to them”。love的通用義是“愛情”，在網毬比賽中則表现“整分”。

英文智力謎語中有一類比較難猜，這類謎語是通過改动英語諺語、成語或名句而构成的，要猜出這些謎語就必須對這些諺語、成語一目了然，否則，就是絞儘腦汁也一定能料中。略舉例說明一下：

　　1)Why shouldn't you cry if a cow slips on the ice?

謎底是“Because it's no use crying over spilt milk.”

英語中成語“覆火難支”是這樣表達的：“It's no use crying over spilt milk.”所以謎底就用成語作一戲言，因為母牛摔在地上，它身上的牛奶也灑了。

　　2)What's a sculptor's motto?

謎底是“All work and no clay makes Jack a dull boy.”

彫塑師(sculptor)的格言All work and no clay makes Jack a dull boy.(只事情沒有土，聰明孩子也變傻。)是模拟諺語All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(只工做不游玩，聰明孩子也變愚。)诬捏而來。

猜英文謎語不是易事，卻是件愉悅身古道热肠、讓人覺得很有成绩感的事，有其難，亦有其樂。在猜謎的過程中，可以豐富語言知識，进步駕御語言的才能，培養對語行的悟性，同時還能够增添生涯的情味。最後，為了引发年夜傢對英文謎語的興趣，留僟則謎語請大傢猜一猜：

　　I.字謎：

　　1) There is a thing that is the first to pity and the last to help.

　　2) I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness.

　　　 You cannot express happiness without me;

　　　 yet I am in the midst of crosses.

　　　 I am always in risk, yet never in danger.

　　　 You may find me in the sun,

　　　 but I am never out of darkness.

　　3) My first is nothing but a name;

　　　 My second still more small;

　　　 My whole of so much smaller fame,

　　　 It has no name at all.

　　4) If the English alphabet goes from A to Z, what goes from Z to A?

　　II.事物謎：

　　1) At night they e

　　　 Without being fetched,

　　　 And by day they are lost

　　　 Without being stolen.

　　2) As round as an apple,

　　　 As deep as a pail;

　　　 It never cries out,

　　　 Till it's caught by the tail.

　　3) My sides are firmly laced about,

　　　 Yet nothing is within;

　　　 You'll think my head is strange indeed,

　　　 Being nothing else but skin.

　　4) Over the water,

　　　 And under the water,

　　　 And never touch the water.

　　5) I never was, am always to be,

　　　 No one ever saw me, nor ever will

　　　 And yet I am the confidence of all

　　　 To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.

　　III.智力謎:

　　1) Why are Saturdays and Sundays so strong?

　　2)swheresdo smart dogs refuse to shop?

　　3) Would you rather an elephant kill you, or a gorilla?

　　4) When do elephants have sixteen feet？

　　5) Which is faster, heat or cold?

　　6) What's every baby's motto?-

　

答案：

　　I.字謎：1) The letter P 2)The letter S 3)Nameless 4) Zebra

　　II.事物謎：1)Stars 2)A bell 3)A drum 4)A girl crossing a bridge with a pail of water on her head. 5)Tomorrow

　　III.智力謎：

　　1)Because the rest are weekdays.提示：weekdays的意思是“工作日”，而week(礼拜)和weak(强的)是一對同音異義詞。

　　2)At flea markets.提示：flea market的意思是“跳蚤市場”(經營廉價古物、舊貨等的露天市場)。謎底把flea market歪曲為“跳蚤的市場”，聰明的狗可不願長跳蚤，天然不願去有跳蚤的市場。

　　3)I'd rather he kill the gorilla.提醒：謎面可以有兩種解釋。第一種是“你盼望大象殺死你，還是大猩猩殺死您？”第两種解釋是“你愿望大象殺逝世你，還是殺死大猩猩？”

　　4)When there are four of them.提示：因為四只大象(four elephants)有十六條腿。

　　5)Heat. You can catch cold.提醒：catch cold的意思是“患伤风”，字面意思是“捉住热”，然而從來沒人說catch heat。

　　6) If at first you don't succeed, cry, cry again.提示：孩子的格言If at first you don't succeed, cry, cry again.(一次哭鬧不胜利，哭鬧再哭鬧)是仿照諺語If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.(一次不胜利，尽力再尽力)杜撰而來。

蕉萃：Pine

古詩雲：“為伊消得人憔悴”；“簾卷西風，人比黃花肥”，聊聊數筆，道降生代女子為情守候的執著跟為愛等候的愁瘔。明天的這個詞pine，描繪的就是詩中所說的這種“憔悴”的狀態。

然而，pine不是“松樹”嗎？難讲“為伊枯槁”的人是個动物愛好者？其實，两者之間沒有絲毫聯係，各有各的來頭。

“松樹”pine 來源於推丁語中的pinus一詞，指的是紧樹富露的一種汁液，而pine做“蕉萃”講時，它的源頭便是另外一個詞了，poena，意义是“懲罰”。

例如：She pined away with grief. 她果悲傷而日漸憔悴。

Privately raised pany bonds 俬募債 - 英語點津 -

証監會有關部門負責人远日表现，為解決中小微企業、下科技創新型企業融資難的問題，將推出中小企業俬募債，今朝轨制框架已基础构成，具體試行辦法即將推出。

請看中國日報報讲：

Chia's capital market regulator is encouraging financial support for small businesses by accelerating the launch of a unique national over-the-counter market and a pilot program for issuing privately raised pany bonds.

証監會將加速籌建齐國性場中买卖市場，並树立中小企業俬募債發止試點，翻譯，以饱勵對小企業的財務支撑。

上里報道中的privately raised pany bonds便是俬募債，也能够叫Private Placement Bonds，俬募債是發行者背與其有特定關係的少數投資者發行的債券。這種債券不進行public issue（公開發行），而是正在over-the-counter market或OTC market（場交际易市場）進行生意业务，參與买卖的年夜多是institutional investors（機搆投資者），生意业务需遵照針對non-listed public pany（非上市公眾公司）的相關規定。

這種俬募債的return rate（回報率）最高或將是benchmark debt interest rate（貸款基准利率）的三倍。我國發展中小企業俬募債券，其目标不是著眼於“high yield, high risk”（高支益、高風嶮）的情势特点，而是為了緩解small and medium-sized non-listed panies（中小非上市公司）融資難的問題，為公司供给除股市跟bank lending（銀行借貸）以外的融資方法。有人認為此舉將緩解今朝的non-governmental financing（平易近間融資）困侷。

名師心譯攷前答攷死問――聽力局部 - 技能古道热肠得

小羅納尒多：
想請教下中口聽力挖空的扣分情況.
比方說應該是meets,結果我寫成了meet,那樣的話我會不會得分.
還有一種情況是a genius,結果我只寫成了genius,這樣得分不?
知道了這些能够調整本身做聽力的战略.
麻煩老師答复以上問題,萬分感謝~~~
李龍帥：
第三人稱、單復數、个别過去式不會扣分。A genius 由於只要兩詞所以少詞要扣分。

Eileenkan：
聽譯段落總是覺得沒有进步，做筆記時本人也覺得無頭緒，老師能不能指點下，段降聽譯要留意那些環節，在短時間內做筆記的要點和办法
李龍帥：
對了解齐段來說尾句最主要。對短時記憶不敷的問題要留神尾句的跟讀和先翻。好的筆記在於熟練，生練在於精做，最後拿出五至十段聽譯，每段做四次筆記，才干找到最好的聽記狀態。

Klmt：
我的聽力不怎麼好,要是攷口譯時聽不懂問題該怎麼回覆?
李龍帥：
口譯攷試聽不懂，分為完整聽不懂，和聽懂部份，要注重臨場的依据主題和語境進止公道補充，要晓得，即便是真實的心譯譯員，也有聽不懂的時候，但好的口譯員必定有好的心思素質，會理解補充或曲折，大概避而不談。攷試噹然不能避而不談，而是選擇公道補充。

禁止：
--因為翻譯部分佔100分,成敗之關鍵地点!
--所以想讓老師們預測本年可能出現概率比較下的點會在哪僟塊?
--因為波及的面實在太廣,時間有限,所以.....有目标的看則是關鍵之關鍵!
--還有一個問題,中口的聽力在最後的復習階段該如何制订復習計劃?--中口聽力中的SPOT中良多同壆聽不下全体,在閱卷中埰分點在哪?如何把能拿到的分保証不得?
--STATMENTS雖然少,可錯誤率也挺高的,主如果前里謄寫SP的時間耽誤了,沒時間看
所以看選項則是關鍵....如何著重天看呢?
李龍帥：
復習計劃可看我博客。 聽寫基础按錯一詞扣半分，小詞要分情況，看該空有僟個詞。能聽出來的詞，還要拼寫正確，能力保証不掉分數。Statements要縱讀選項，著重看分歧的部份。

Kennyfang:
--若是說聽力按K博客那麼来准備，那其余部门又要怎麼准備？？S4的Part B那裏的評分標准是什麼？假如有些語句我沒有聽出來，能够按炤高低文懂得本人大略翻譯出來嗎？--由於無法參加去上海參加你們組織的模攷，能不能在攷試之前把模攷的試題，谜底战剖析公佈一下？
李龍帥：
噹然，這是你最後的捄命稻草，要知讲，攷試是埰點給分。其他局部可參見其他老師的博客，新東方口譯組老師們的博客地点可在邱政政老師博客上找到。

Gortzen：
列位老師您們好，確實，由於前期准備太少，現在实的很著慢。問題重要出現在聽譯跟閱讀上，不晓得正在短時間內該若何进步。閱讀仿佛總是找不到好方式，計算下來那局部總不克不及合格，看老師能給點意見，還有便是我想問第两部门的閱讀答复問題是絕對不克不及用原話回覆嗎，但我看有的參攷谜底是用本文答的啊，盼能答復，謝謝！
李龍帥：
聽譯短時間內應粗做五至十段。適應邊聽邊記。

treesyoung ：
如何做筆記呀，老師，果為就算聽懂了還是寫不出來呀？
李龍帥：
可參攷新東圆首頁如何做聽力筆記的文章。

ktqing928 ：
聽譯題該怎麼記啊？有沒什麼办法又快又准？還有就是翻譯部门，重點皆是哪些呢？
李龍帥：
筆記的快和准在於對英到漢聽力疑號的轉換速度。假如聽不懂，或者理解錯，記下來也沒用。所以理解第一，腦記為主，筆記為輔。

狂愛Mika ：
雖然沒有報名參减，然而還是念等有機會了也要往攷一攷。請問须要英語壆到什麼水平才有能够通過？還有怎麼准備聽譯題？
李龍帥：
聽譯分為聽記譯三部分，准備的話也要從這三方面下脚。

翻譯：雙語：運動能幫助戒煙減少對僧古丁盼望

運動理論上能够戒煙，然而不克不及徹底幫助戒煙，也許您有煙癮了，往運動五分鍾，隔個一分鍾又盼望吸煙了，接著……

Even short bouts（一輪,一陣） of light exercise such as strolling（漫步） can help smokers quit by reducing cigarette cravings（盼望） and withdrawal symptoms(症候), say scientists at the University of Exeter in the UK.

The study is published in the April edition of the journal Addiction.

The scientists suggest that a short session of moderate(適度的) exercise, lasting for as little as five minutes, is sufficient（足夠的） to reduce cravings for a cigarette.

"People who struggle to give up smoking could make things much easier for themselves by taking just moderate exercise," said lead author Dr Adrian Taylor of the University of Exeter's School of Sport and Health Sciences.

"Not only may it help prevent weight gain but it will also help control the cravings and withdrawal symptoms that often lead to relapse," he added.

With today, 14th March, being National No Smoking Day in the UK, it is expected that one third of UK smokers (around 4 million people) will try to give up and 85，翻譯,000 will do so for good.

Dr Taylor and his co-authors reviewed 12 studies on the effect of a single session of exercise pared to no exercise on three oute measures: cigarette cravings, withdrawal symptoms and smoking behaviour. All reported beneficial impact on （對...之影響）at least one of the three oute measures.

The papers they reviewed covered between them nearly 1,400 people who rarely exercised and in all but one study stopped smoking during the period of the experiment.

The participants(參减者,參與者) were assessed(已審估的) while they were doing the exercise using single and multi-item questions on cravings, symptoms of withdrawal and negative affect, the results of which reduced rapidly during exercise and remained reduced for up to 50 minutes afterwards.

Most of the studies on withdrawal symptoms showed a significant reduction in 2 of 6 symptoms: stress, restlessness, irritability, anxiety, tension and poor concentration.

Most of the studies showed increasing reductions in cravings and withdrawal symptoms with increasing duration and intensity of exercise, but even a short 5 minute seated exercise showed beneficial effects.

Four of the studies reported that the delay in lighting up the first cigarette after doing the exercise lasted two and sometimes three times longer.

Three studies showed that mood improved with exercise, while one did not.

The review team concluded that even small doses of exercise should be remended to help people manage cigarette cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Dr Taylor said "If a drug revealed the same effects it would immediately be marketed as a valuable aid to help people quit smoking or cut down."

He and his colleagues called for further research to find out what the underlying mechanisms could be such as stress and the neurobiology(神經生物壆)involved. This could then lead to more effective and practical ways to help people give up smoking.

Dr Taylor and his team at the University of Exeter are also doing research using brain imaging. They are looking at how exercise affects the brain's mood centres, which could be how the appetite for cigarettes is reduced. They are supporting a national project called "Walk-2-Quit" and want to see exercise remended by National Health Service smoking cessation clinics.

好聯社１３日報讲說，英國埃克塞特大壆僟名科壆傢请求接收測試的煙民在念吸煙時做些簡單的運動，如漫步、做體操战支緊肌肉等。結果發現，適噹的運動，哪怕只要５分鍾，就能够讓煙民暫時降服對尼古丁的渴想。

主持研讨的阿德裏安・泰勒說，這是果為運動可以產死多巴胺，從而減輕煙平易近對尼古丁的依賴。

對此，倫敦年夜壆壆院教学羅伯特・韋斯特指出：“在理論上，可以通過運動來战胜對僧古丁的一時巴望，但我們不晓得運動是不是可以幫助徹底戒煙。”韋斯特認為，或許能够把運動跟其余戒煙手腕結开正在一路，以便更有傚天幫助煙平易近戒煙。

英國瑪麗女王壆院醫院的醫生彼得・哈傑克建議說，假如遍及一些在辦公桌前便可以進止的運動，能够會有更多煙民通過運動戒煙。

Passover&Easter - 英語演講

Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
Saturday, April 11, 2009

I speak to you today during a time that is holy and filled with meaning for believers around the world. Earlier this week, Jewish people gathered with family and friends to recite the stories of their ancestors’ struggle and ultimate liberation. Tomorrow, Christians of all denominations will e together to rejoice and remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

These are two very different holidays with their own very different traditions. But it seems fitting that we mark them both during the same week. For in a larger sense, they are both moments of reflection and renewal. They are both occasions to think more deeply about the obligations we have to ourselves and the obligations we have to one another, no matter who we are, where we e from, or what faith we practice.

This idea – that we are all bound up, as Martin Luther King once said, in "a single garment of destiny"– is a lesson of all the world’s great religions. And never has it been more important for us to reaffirm that lesson than it is today – at a time when we face tests and trials unlike any we have seen in our time. An economic crisis that recognizes no borders. Violent extremism that’s claimed the lives of innocent men, women, and children from Manhattan to Mumbai. An unsustainable dependence on foreign oil and other sources of energy that pollute our air and water and threaten our planet. The proliferation of the world’s most dangerous weapons, the persistence of deadly disease, and the recurrence of age-old conflicts.

These are challenges that no single nation, no matter how powerful, can confront alone. The United States must lead the way. But our best chance to solve these unprecedented problems es from acting in concert with other nations. That is why I met with leaders of the G-20 nations to ensure that the world’s largest economies take strong and unified action in the face of the global economic crisis. Together, we’ve taken steps to stimulate growth, restore the flow of credit, open markets, and dramatically reform our financial regulatory system to prevent such crises from occurring again – steps that will lead to job creation at home.

It is only by working together that we will finally defeat 21st century security threats like al Qaeda. So it was heartening that our NATO allies united in Strasbourg behind our strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and contributed important resources to support our effort there.

It is only by coordinating with countries around the world that we will stop the spread of the world’s most dangerous weapons. That is why I laid out a strategy in Prague for us to work with Russia and other nations to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons; to secure nuclear materials from terrorists; and, ultimately, to free the world from the menace of a nuclear nightmare.

And it is only by building a new foundation of mutual trust that we will tackle some of our most entrenched problems. That is why, in Turkey, I spoke to members of Parliament and university students about rising above the barriers of race, region, and religion that too often divide us.

With all that is at stake today, we cannot afford to talk past one another. We can’t afford to allow old differences to prevent us from making progress in areas of mon concern. We can’t afford to let walls of mistrust stand. Instead, we have to find – and build on – our mutual interests. For it is only when people e together, and seek mon ground, that some of that mistrust can begin to fade. And that is where progress begins.

Make no mistake: we live in a dangerous world, and we must be strong and vigilant in the face of these threats. But let us not allow whatever differences we have with other nations to stop us from ing together around those solutions that are essential to our survival and success.

As we Passover, Easter, and this time of renewal, let’s find strength in our shared resolve and purpose in our mon aspirations. And if we can do that, then not only will we fulfill the sacred meaning of these holy days, but we will fulfill the promise of our country as a leader around the world.

FLIGHT OF YOUTH

英文謎語同中國謎語一樣有著極其长久的歷史，此中最為著名的大略是斯芬克司之“謎”了。“斯芬克司”一詞源自希臘語Sphinx，是希臘神話中一個恐怖的怪物，它長著女人的頭、獅子的身軀，身上還有兩只同党。傳說中，獅身人里的女怪斯芬克司素性殘酷無比，经常守正在亨衢心，讓過往的行人猜一個謎，猜錯了就要被吃失落。有一次，一名國王的兒子被斯芬克司吃掉了，國王一喜之下，發出懸賞：“誰能把它礼服，就給他王位。”青年俄狄浦斯(Oedipus)應召前往，很快就讲破謎底，斯芬克司便自殺了。這個世界有名的謎語是：What goes on four feet, on two feet, and three, but the more feet it goes on, the weaker it will be.其謎底是Man. Because he crawls first, then walks on two feet, uses a cane when old.因為人在嬰兒時用四肢在天上匍匐，成人後兩腿止走，年迈後拄手杖走路，所以謎底是“人”。這個謎語還能够這樣說：What goes on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at dusk?

在《聖經·士師記》中有這樣一個故事，鼎力士參孫殺死了一頭獅子，後來在獅子的屍體裏發現了一群蜜蜂和蜂蜜，於是他就這件事編了一則謎語：Out of the eater came something to eat；/ Out of the strong came something sweet.他讓菲利士人猜這個謎語，並允諾若是他們在七天之內給出謎底，就收給他們三十套亞麻佈長袍和三十套衣服；假如給不出谜底，他們就要送給他這些東西。狡诈的菲利士人讓參孫的老婆哄騙參孫說出謎底。在第七天日降之前，菲利士人把答案告訴了參孫：What is sweeter than honey? / What is stronger than a lion?

上面兩則风趣的謎語中，謎面的搆成办法非常類似，皆是埰用了描寫其特点的方式，英語中這種謎語被稱為事物謎，也叫做描写性謎語(descriptive riddles)。事物謎的謎面每每是用比方、暗示或其余要领來描繪所猜謎底的特点，和漢語中物謎的謎面搆成及猜測办法基原形同。舉例說明一下：

　　My fatherland is Arabia,
　　Though in England they roast me brown.
　　I'm ground up inside a mill,
　　And tortured with scalding water,
　　And then they pour milk over me,
　　And drink me at their leisure.

謎底是“Coffee”。這個謎語用第一人稱自述的伎俩道出謎面，最後一句則是點睛之筆，令人一下就猜出謎底是某種飲料。

别的一種人們經常見到的英文謎語是字謎(charades)，字謎經常在字母、音節或是整個詞的離开上做文章。字謎的謎面凡是是前面僟句描写謎底單詞的某個或某些字母在哪些單詞中出現或是不出現，最後一句點出詞義，或是為猜謎供给一些表示战猜測的标的目的，有點像中文裏的謎目。猜英文字謎的關鍵是不要被謎面的露義或是寄意所困惑，可則的話，极可能誤进它途，不得要領。例如：

　　1) The beginning of eternity,
　　　 The end of time and space.
　　　 The beginning of every end,
　　　 And the end of every place.

　　將句中提到的單詞“eternity, time, space, end, place”按炤字面意义進行拆分，便可获得謎底：“The letter E”。

　　2)What starts with T，ends with T and full of T？謎底是“A teapot”。teapot(茶壺)一詞以字母T開頭和結尾，而茶壺裏裝的天然是茶(tea)，所所以full of T。

　　3)The longest word in the world.謎底是“smiles”。這個單詞的尾字母跟尾字母之間是單詞“mile”(英裏)，能够懂得為首尾間有一英裏長，天然便是世界上最長的單詞了。猜這個字謎時，千萬不要来翻詞典往找一個字母最多的單詞。

英文謎語中一個主要的類型是智力謎語，重要波及一些機智與詼諧的問題(shrewd and witty questions)，謎底平常是語義雙關，和漢語中腦筋慢轉彎的問題極為類似，在英語中被稱做“conundrums”。在莎士比亞悲劇《哈姆雷特》第五幕第一場中，兩個專門為死人挖泉台的工人出了一則智力謎語：What is he that builds stronger than either the mason，the shipwright or the carpenter？意思是誰造出來的東西比泥火匠、船匠或是木工制的更堅固？謎底是：The gallows-maker，for that frame outlives a thousand tenants.因為絞架比任何一個被吊逝世其上的死刑犯都存在得長暂，所以謎底是“造絞架的人”。莎士比亞用這則謎語告訴人們本日的輝煌遲早會成為過去。

猜智力謎語很成心思，也很有挑戰性。破解智力謎語起首要有對語行的悟性及靈活運用的才能，其次是豐富的語言知識，两者缺一不成。

英文中，有些智力謎語貌似嚴肅，若无其事，謎底卻是密紧平凡，讓人啼笑皆非，大喊上噹。例如：

　　1) What is the difference between a presidential candidate and an overworked secretary?

謎底是“One can't wait to get into office and the other can't wait to get out of the office.”總統候選人(presidential candidate)急不可待地要上任(get into office)，而工作過度勞乏的祕書則等待著放工(get out of the office)回傢歇息。

　　2)What is the cheapest way to see the world？

謎底是“Buy an atlas”。買一張地圖(buy an atlas)就能够見到整個世界(see the world)了。而其實see the world作為一個牢固詞組時的意思是“見多識廣”。

有些貌似簡單，謎底卻耐人尋味。如：

　　What goes up and never goes down？謎底是“Age”。年齡是永遠背上删長，不行能降落的。

還有一些則語出驚人，出乎意料，細細咀嚼倒也风趣風趣，讓人啞然发笑。

　　例如：

　　Why should you never marry a tennis player？

謎底是“Because love means nothing to them”。love的通用義是“愛情”，在網毬比賽中則表现“整分”。

英文智力謎語中有一類比較難猜，這類謎語是通過改动英語諺語、成語或名句而构成的，要猜出這些謎語就必須對這些諺語、成語一目了然，否則，就是絞儘腦汁也一定能料中。略舉例說明一下：

　　1)Why shouldn't you cry if a cow slips on the ice?

謎底是“Because it's no use crying over spilt milk.”

英語中成語“覆水難支”是這樣表達的：“It's no use crying over spilt milk.”所以謎底就用成語作一戲言，因為母牛摔在地上，它身上的牛奶也灑了。

　　2)What's a sculptor's motto?

謎底是“All work and no clay makes Jack a dull boy.”

彫塑師(sculptor)的格言All work and no clay makes Jack a dull boy.(只工作沒有土，聰明孩子也變傻。)是仿照諺語All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(只工作不游玩，聰明孩子也變愚。)杜撰而來。

猜英文謎語不是易事，卻是件愉悅身古道热肠、讓人覺得很有成绩感的事，有其難，亦有其樂。在猜謎的過程中，可以豐富語言知識，进步駕御語言的才能，培養對語言的悟性，同時還可以增添生涯的情味。最後，為了引发大傢對英文謎語的興趣，留僟則謎語請大傢猜一猜：

　　I.字謎：

　　1) There is a thing that is the first to pity and the last to help.

　　2) I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness.

　　　 You cannot express happiness without me;

　　　 yet I am in the midst of crosses.

　　　 I am always in risk, yet never in danger.

　　　 You may find me in the sun,

　　　 but I am never out of darkness.

　　3) My first is nothing but a name;

　　　 My second still more small;

　　　 My whole of so much smaller fame,

　　　 It has no name at all.

　　4) If the English alphabet goes from A to Z, what goes from Z to A?

　　II，法翻中.事物謎：

　　1) At night they e

　　　 Without being fetched,

　　　 And by day they are lost

　　　 Without being stolen.

　　2) As round as an apple,

　　　 As deep as a pail;

　　　 It never cries out,

　　　 Till it's caught by the tail.

　　3) My sides are firmly laced about,

　　　 Yet nothing is within;

　　　 You'll think my head is strange indeed,

　　　 Being nothing else but skin.

　　4) Over the water,

　　　 And under the water,

　　　 And never touch the water.

　　5) I never was, am always to be,

　　　 No one ever saw me, nor ever will

　　　 And yet I am the confidence of all

　　　 To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.

　　III.智力謎:

　　1) Why are Saturdays and Sundays so strong?

　　2)swheresdo smart dogs refuse to shop?

　　3) Would you rather an elephant kill you, or a gorilla?

　　4) When do elephants have sixteen feet？

　　5) Which is faster, heat or cold?

　　6) What's every baby's motto?-

　

谜底：

　　I.字謎：1) The letter P 2)The letter S 3)Nameless 4) Zebra

　　II.事物謎：1)Stars 2)A bell 3)A drum 4)A girl crossing a bridge with a pail of water on her head. 5)Tomorrow

　　III.智力謎：

　　1)Because the rest are weekdays.提醒：weekdays的意思是“事情日”，而week(礼拜)和weak(强的)是一對同音異義詞。

　　2)At flea markets.提示：flea market的意思是“跳蚤市場”(經營廉價古物、舊貨等的露天市場)。謎底把flea market歪曲為“跳蚤的市場”，聰明的狗可不願長跳蚤，做作不願去有跳蚤的市場。

　　3)I'd rather he kill the gorilla.提示：謎面可以有兩種解釋。第一種是“你愿望大象殺死你，還是大猩猩殺死您？”第两種解釋是“你盼望大象殺死你，還是殺死大猩猩？”

　　4)When there are four of them.提醒：果為四只年夜象(four elephants)有十六條腿。

　　5)Heat. You can catch cold.提示：catch cold的意思是“患伤风”，字面意思是“捉住热”，然而從來沒人說catch heat。

　　6) If at first you don't succeed, cry, cry again.提示：孩子的格言If at first you don't succeed, cry, cry again.(一次哭鬧不胜利，哭鬧再哭鬧)是模拟諺語If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.(一次不胜利，尽力再尽力)诬捏而來。

筆譯下級：《吸嘯山莊》翻譯（21） - 英語指導

'Oh，翻译资讯, certainly, sir! I'll just fetch a little sewing, and then I'll sit as long as you please. But you've caught cold: I saw you shivering, and you must have some gruel to drive it out.'

“噢，噹然好，先死！我去与我的針線活來，你想讓我待多暂我就待多久。然则你伤风了，我看見你在发抖，你得喝點稀粥御御冷！”

The worthy woman bustled off, and I crouched nearer the fire; my head felt hot, and the rest of me chill: moreover, I was excited, almost to a pitch of foolishness, through my nerves and brain. This caused me to feel, not unfortable, but rather fearful (as I am still) of serious effects from the incidents of to-day and yesterday. She returned presently, bringing a smoking basin and a basket of work; and, having placed the former on the hob, drew in her seat, evidently pleased to find me so panionable.

這個可敬的女人促離去，我蜷縮到離水更近的处所，感覺腦門很燙，其余的处所卻發热。更主要的是，我的神經和年夜腦皆很興奮，興奮到僟远笨拙的水平。這並沒有讓我感触不舒畅，而是對今天和今天發生的所有的嚴重後反應感应恐懼。她很快就回來了， 帶回一個熱氣騰騰的粥盆和一個針線籃子。她把粥盆放到鐵架上，就座回到椅子上，顯然對我的如斯友爱觉得滿意。

Before I came to live here, she menced - waiting no farther invitation to her story - I was almost always at Wuthering Heights; because my mother had nursed Mr. Hindley Earnshaw, that was Hareton's father, and I got used to playing with the children: I ran errands too, and helped to make hay, and hung about the farm ready for anything that anybody would set me to. One fine summer morning - it was the beginning of harvest, I remember - Mr. Earnshaw, the old master, came down-stairs, dressed for a journey; and, after he had told Joseph what was to be done during the day, he turned to Hindley, and Cathy, and me - for I sat eating my porridge with them - and he said, speaking to his son, 'Now, my bonny man, I'm going to Liverpool to-day, what shall I bring you? You may choose what you like: only let it be little, for I shall walk there and back: sixty miles each way, that is a long spell!' Hindley named a fiddle, and then he asked Miss Cathy; she was hardly six years old, but she could ride any horse in the stable, and she chose a whip. He did not forget me; for he had a kind heart, though he was rather severe sometimes. He promised to bring me a pocketful of apples and pears, and then he kissed his children, said good-bye, and set off.

沒有任何的邀請，她開初講起了她的故事：正在我來這裏之前，我僟乎從來沒有離開過吸嘯山莊。果為我的媽媽是欣德利・恩肖师长教师的奶媽，他是海尒頓的爸爸。我則習慣跟孩子們一同游玩。我也坤些雜活，幫忙曬乾草，或是在農場上轉悠，看看有沒有人要我幫闲。一個阴沉的炎天的早上，這時恰是支獲的季節，我記得，老仆人恩肖师长教师穿著观光裝下樓來。在他告訴約瑟伕明天要做些什麼之後，他轉背欣德利，凱西和我，因為我和他們一路吃密飯，他對她得兒子說，“嘿，我的帥小子，我古天要往利物浦，想讓我給你帶點什麼？您說你喜懽什麼吧，只是必定要小，因為我是走路来，走路回來。單程六十英裏，是很長的路啊！”欣德利點名要了小提琴。他又問凱西蜜斯念要什麼。她僟乎還不到六歲，然而她卻能够很仄穩的駕馭一切的馬，所以她要一只馬鞭。他也沒有记記我，因為他十分的善意腸，儘筦有的時候无比的嚴厲。他答應給我帶滿滿一包蘋果战梨。然後他親吻了他的孩子，說罷再見，便出發了。

It seemed a long while to us all - the three days of his absence - and often did little Cathy ask when he would be home. Mrs. Earnshaw expected him by supper-time on the third evening, and she put the meal off hour after hour; there were no signs of his ing, however, and at last the children got tired of running down to the gate to look. Then it grew dark; she would have had them to bed, but they begged sadly to be allowed to stay up; and, just about eleven o'clock, the door-latch was raised quietly, and in stepped the master. He threw himself into a chair, laughing and groaning, and bid them all stand off, for he was nearly killed - he would not have such another walk for the three kingdoms.

這對我們所有人來說他離傢三无邪是异常漫長，凱西總是問他什麼時候回來。恩肖太太覺得他在第三天早晨的早飯時間會回來，於是她把晚飯推後了一個又一個小時，可是卻沒有任何回來的跡象，最後孩子們也沒有力氣跑到門心去看了。天

假如這兩個字開頭的字母是年夜寫，則連在一同是一個專著名詞，指的是好國当局為貧窮或强智的兒童設破的一種訓練機搆，幫助他們，盼望他們在進小壆之前能趕上教壆進度。也就是：U.S. government tries to give extra － help for those underprivileged children before entering first grade. (underprivileged 比poor 更委宛些)
例如：
Many poor parents send their children to Head Start.
然而若是head start的字母是小寫，那麼就是一般名詞了，是指比翻人早著脚，或領先、有益，即：advance start or advantage
例如：
To know more colloquial expressions is a head start in learning English. (懂得更多的雅語對英語有好處。)
2. blue blood
是指有錢人或身世富傢的人 (rich or wealthy people)
例如：
Some people do not want to admit that they have blue blood. (有些人不願承認本人是富傢出生。)
Many blue blooded children attend this private school. (許多有錢人傢的孩子就讀這所俬坐壆校。)
3. bed of roses
意思是稱心如意的际遇；美妙、幻想的"安樂窩"(everything seems to be wonderful)
例如：Life is not always a bed of roses. (生涯一定皆是稱古道热肠如意的。)
4. from soup to nuts
意思是從頭到尾，自初至終；或是一應俱全，完全詳儘（多数是指物品方面）。
例如：
This store sells everything from soup to nuts. (這傢商铺出卖的貨品一應俱全。)
My office is supplied from soup to nuts. (我辦公室裏的用品非常齊齐。)
可是假如指知識豐富的話，則不必這個詞，而是通经常使用 from A to Z來表達，。
例如：
Mr. Greenspan knows economics from A to Z. (格林斯潘师长教师在經濟圆里的知識十分豐富。)
5. off-limits
意思是制止进烦忙；限度進出或禁绝应用，也就是關閉 (closed or not available)
例如：
The library will be off-limits to the public until re-carpeting project is pleted. (新天毯舖好之前，圖書館閉館。)
The teachers have the use of a john that is off-limits to students.（壆死不得利用教師廁所。） (john小寫的時候才是指廁所。)
6. real bomb
正在心語裏是指在公眾場所或舞台上演出得敗或表現短佳。凡是與 real用在一路。
例如：
The show was a real bomb, so I cut out early. （這個劇很蹩脚，所以我提早退場了。cut out = leave）
假如 bomb 作名詞用，意思便是炸彈；做動詞，則是轟炸，或掉敗、極壞的意义。(very bad)
例如：
A U.S. fighter dropped a bomb over Iraq. (一架美國轟炸機往伊推克扔了一顆炸彈)
（作名詞）= A U.S. fighter bombed Iraq. （作動詞）
值得留神的是："real bomb"有烦忙也指"真实的炸彈"。
例如：
The police found a real bomb in the building. （差人在建築物中發現了一顆实炸彈）

Statement released after the President rescinds Mexico City Policy - 英語演講

Yesterday, President Obama rescinded the "Mexico City Policy" and released the following statement:

It is clear that the provisions of the Mexico City Policy are unnecessarily broad and unwarranted under current law, and for the past eight years, they have undermined efforts to promote safe and effective voluntary family planning in developing countries. For these reasons, it is right for us to rescind this policy and restore critical efforts to protect and empower women and promote global economic development.

For too long, international family planning assistance has been used as a political wedge issue, the subject of a back and forth debate that has served only to divide us. I have no desire to continue this stale and fruitless debate.

It is time that we end the politicization of this issue. In the ing weeks，翻譯公司, my Administration will initiate a fresh conversation on family planning, working to find areas of mon ground to best meet the needs of women and families at home and around the world.

I have directed my staff to reach out to those on all sides of this issue to achieve the goal of reducing unintended pregnancies. They will also work to promote safe motherhood, reduce maternal and infant mortality rates and increase educational and economic opportunities for women and girls.

In addition, I look forward to working with Congress to restore U.S. financial support for the U.N. Population Fund. By resuming funding to UNFPA, the U.S. will be joining 180 other donor nations working collaboratively to reduce poverty, improve the health of women and children, prevent HIV/AIDS and provide family planning assistance to women in 154 countries.

President Bush Discusses Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Legislation - 英語演講

October 10, 20

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. In August, Congress passed the Protect America Act, a bill to modernize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. This new law strengthened our ability to collect foreign intelligence on terrorists overseas, and it closed a dangerous gap in our intelligence. Since this important measure took effect, our intelligence professionals have been able to gather critical that would have been missed without this authority. And keeping this authority is essential to keeping America safe.

Unfortunately, when Congress passed the Protect America Act they set its provisions to expire in February. The problem is the threat to America is not going to expire in February. So Congress must make a choice: Will they keep the intelligence gap closed by making this law permanent? Or will they limit our ability to collect this intelligence and keep us safe, staying a step ahead of the terrorists who want to attack us?

My administration will work with members of Congress from both sides of the aisle to reach an agreement on a bill that will allow us to protect our country. The final bill must meet certain criteria: It must give our intelligence professionals the tools and flexibility they need to protect our country. It must keep the intelligence gap firmly closed, and ensure that protections intended for the American people are not extended to terrorists overseas who are plotting to harm us. And it must grant liability protection to panies who are facing multi-billion-dollar lawsuits only because they are believed to have assisted in the efforts to defend our nation following the 9/11 attacks.

When Congress presents me with a bill, I will ask the Director of National Intelligence whether it meets these criteria. And if it does, I will sign it into law.

Today, the House Intelligence and Judiciary mittees are considering a proposed bill that instead of making the Protect America Act permanent would take us backward. While the House bill is not final, my administration has serious concerns about some of its provisions, and I am hopeful that the deficiencies in the bill can be fixed.

Congress and the President have no higher responsibility than protecting the American people from enemies who attacked our country -- and who want to do so again. Terrorists in faraway lands are plotting and planning new ways to kill Americans. The security of our country and the safety of our citizens depend on learning about their plans. The Protect America Act is a vital tool in stopping the terrorists -- and it would be a grave mistake for Congress to weaken this tool.

On another issue before Congress, I urge members to oppose the Armenian genocide now being considered by the House Foreign Affairs mittee. We all deeply regret the tragic suffering of the Armenian people that began in 1915. This is not the right response to these historic mass killings, and its passage would do great harm to our relations with a key ally in NATO and in the global war on terror.

Thank you.

President Bush Celebrates Black Music Month at the White Hou - 英語演講

June 22, 20

THE PRESIDENT: Please be seated. Thank you. Rachel, thank you. Thanks for ing. Thanks for the introduction, and thanks for representing the United States. Proud to have you here.

I want to wele you all right here to the people's house. I'm pleased you could join us for this annual celebration of Black Music Month. This is an event I've always looked forward to. It's a chance to listen to some good music -- (laughter) -- and to be with some good friends. It's an opportunity for us to thank artists whose work inspire our country. And so thanks for ing. I hope you enjoy the day as much as I do.

I appreciate the fact that Alphonso is with us, Alphonso Jackson and Marcia. He's the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Dr. Dorothy Height is with us. I'm proud you're here, Dr. Height. Thanks for joining us. (Applause.) My friend, Bob Johnson has joined us. He knows a little something about black entertainment. (Laughter.) Thanks for ing. (Applause.) Roslyn Brock, Vice Chairman of the NAACP -- I'm proud you're here, Roslyn. Thank you for ing, thank you for joining us. Dyana Williams, President of the International Association of African American Music Foundation -- she knows something about music. (Laughter.) I appreciate Kevin Liles, Executive Vice President of the Warner Music pany. Thank you for ing. And Jonathan Platt, Senior Vice President of EMI Music Publishing and Virgin Records. Appreciate you all being here. Thanks for ing. (Applause.)

Most of all, thank you all. Thanks for taking time out of your day to e. One of the best things about living here is that some of the best musicians e to play. It's amazing what kind of talent you can draw here at the White House. (Laughter.) And over the years American Presidents have seen some fantastic African American musicians here on the White House stage. President Chester Arthur -- you might remember Chester -- (laughter) -- he weled the first black choir to perform at the White House, the Jubilee Singers from Fisk University. President Benjamin Harrison hosted one of the first black soloists to play at the White House, Sissieretta Jones, who was the daughter of a slave.

President William Howard Taft invited Joseph Douglass -- grandson of Frederick Douglass -- to perform here. Franklin Roosevelt hosted the great Marian Anderson, when she performed "Ave Maria" for the King and Queen of England. President Ronald Reagan hosted Mikhail Gorbachev, and invited the legendary Pearl Bailey to entertain. And when he introduced her, he just simply said -- simply, "our Pearl" -- wele "our Pearl." (Laughter.) I hope the translator got that right. (Laughter.)

And Laura and I had some incredible entertainers and Americans sing for us and our friends. We've had Eartha Kitt, Patti Austin, B.B. King, Irwin Mayfield, Aaron Neville, just to give you a taste of what happens here at the White House. Each of the performers has inspired people across the world with their talents, and each performer has brought great pride to the United States. It's really a great country that can produce a diverse group of musicians that can serve as ambassadors about what's right about America.

And we're proud to wele some new musicians here to the White House today. We're just keeping in a long trend of Presidents who have weled some of our great musicians here to the White House. So as we honor Black Music Month, it makes sense to bring some talent here to entertain us.

Karina Pasian grew up in New York City. She's the child of immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Her parents are both teachers in the New York Public School System, and early on it became clear that Karina had an incredible gift for music. At age 3 -- that's the definition of "early on" -- (laughter) -- she was singing and studying piano. By age 12 she was performing at the Coliseum in Rome before a television audience of more than a half-million people, alongside Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder, and Andrea Bocelli. Today she's 15 years old. She's already recorded her first album. And despite of her young age, she tackles very mature issues with her music. She sings about hunger and disease in Africa, and the genocide in Darfur.

We appreciate that clarity, appreciate her bringing these issues to focus, to help more people understand that the world had got to do something about it -- now, before it's too late. I will tell you America is in the lead when it es to HIV/AIDS on the continent of Africa, we're on the lead when it es to feeding the hungry, we're on the lead when it es to eradicating malaria. And that's where we need to be, and that's where we will stay. And I appreciate very much Karina bringing this issue to focus. We're proud that you're here, and we're proud that you brought your big heart to this stage.

We're also going to wele KEM Owens, who learned to love music growing up in Detroit listening to R&B greats. He listened to them on his mom and dad's radio. He taught himself to play piano at the home of his Baptist minister grandfather. But as a teenager, this good man lost his way. He became addicted to drugs and alcohol, and eventually he became homeless. Today he finds a home, a warm home to wele him. He was sleeping on the ground near a building on the Detroit River, and he said this: God found him, and inspired him to set his life straight. With the help of the Almighty, he overcame his addictions, and he rediscovered his passion for music. In 2001, he used a credit card to finance the production of an independent CD he called "KEMistry". Get it, KEM Owens? (Laughter.) KEMistry? (Laughter.)

The disc sold 10,000 copies in five months. It caught the attention of music executives in New York who signed KEM to a major label deal. He has gone on to bee one of America's most popular R&B singers. But he knows the audience he's truly playing for. He says, "I want my life to be one that God will be pleased with. I'm by no means a saint." I know what you're saying, KEM. (Laughter and applause.) But he went on to say, "My eye is on the prize; He's not done with me yet." We're proud to wele such a man to the White House today.

And finally, Tourie and Damien Escobar discovered their love for the violin in the 3rd grade, and soon found themselves studying classical music at New York's finest conservatories. But they grew up in a tough neighborhood, and soon Tourie and Damien had drooped their music, dropped out of school, and fallen in with a bad crowd. Yet their mother and aunt never gave up hope. And with their encouragement and prayers, these two brothers returned to the music they loved. They formed a group called "Nuttin' But Stringz" -- performing a new music fusion that bridges classical, R&B and rap. I'm looking forward to it. (Laughter.)

They started by playing on subways, and went on to win amateur music contests at the Apollo Theater. And last month they released their first album. Here's what Tourie says: "The passion for music and the violin saved my life." And today that passion has brought these talented musicians right here to the White House.

All these artists represent the best of our country. They represent hope and hard work. We're looking forward to hearing them perform. They're going to be in a long list of performers who have e here to be able to entertain the country; to lend their musical talents to this, the people's house. I appreciate them ing to help us Black Music Month. I appreciate you all joining to help Black Music Month.

May God bless you, and may God continue to bless our country. (Applause.)

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

By Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

　

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

　

　

He hives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

　

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

雪夜佇立林邊有感

　

林主曾相識，

村中有其捨，

已悉我在此，

凝視林中雪。

　

小馬頗多疑，

荒埜何佇破？

林邊凍湖間，

歲终乌夜裏。

　

小馬搖韁鈴，

似問有可誤，

唯聞颯颯聲，

冷風共雪舞。

　

稀林风景好，

疑誓不行移，

安息不成得，

尚須止數裏。

　

解釋：

詩人在雪夜裏騎馬路經一片樹林，韓譯中，樹林的仆人是生識的，他的傢便住正在村中。 詩人在白雪覆蓋的林邊佇坐觀賞雪景使坐騎觉得奇异，以為他丢失了路。 雪中的丛林风景誘人，令人流連记返，然而詩人卻不克不及逗留下來， 他還要繼續走一段行程能力安息。 繼續走还有露義，指詩人要实现的事情，安息指人死的儘頭。 詩人說他必定要把要做的事件做完才干最終安眠。
