    伪君子！— You hypocrite! 
    马屁精！— You ass licker (kisser)! 
    糟糕！真讨厌！—What a mess! 

    三，粗话骂人（二） 

    1. dork 呆子，呆瓜 当一个人做了某些傻事的时候，就可以骂他dork，虽然是呆子的意思，但实际上并不是说他智力低下，有时在情侣间，一方做错了某事，也咳说dork来责怪他，有“真傻”的意思。 

    2. nerd/geek 讨厌鬼 nerd表示“讨厌的人”也有“蠢货”的意思，和dork类似；geek是“讨厌鬼”，两个词的用法大同小异。 

    3. dammit 该死，真他妈的 直接说damn也可以，另外还常说damn it all！见鬼！真糟糕! 真气死人! 

    4. fuck 他妈的 这个词是英语骂人里最重的一个，而且很不雅观，不建议（经常）使用，特别是女孩子，会让人觉得很没教养。She is the first one who speak out "fuck" from her little pink tone. 这是很经典的一本小说Summer Sister里的一句话，形容了女主角之一的性格。 

    5. dirty... 脏的；卑鄙的；下流的；淫猥的 只是这一个词还不能称之为骂人，但后面接上一些词就不同了，例如dirty lier 卑鄙的骗子（今年Oscar获奖影片Chicago中女主角愤怒至极，开枪的一瞬间喊的就是U dirty lier!);还有一个很恶心，但很常用的组合就是dirty asshole,关于它的中文翻译是什么我就不在这里详述了，ass是什么hole是什么，像中文一样那么一组合，自然就知道骂的是什么了。 

    6. bitch 泼妇,淫妇 这是我总结的英语骂人Top10里唯一一个分公、母的，是不是由于妇女解放运动才有这个词的呢，呵呵，开玩笑。但现在英语里仿佛雌雄分的越来越清楚了，大家在动物等词的前面加上了he/she来区分雌雄，例如用she-dog,she-cat形容母的。如果想用分雌雄的词骂男的，只能用jackass了，意思是“公驴；笨蛋；傻瓜”例如：The silly jackass!这个蠢驴！ 

    7. phycho 神经病 形容一个人的行为反常，不正常的令人讨厌的意思。美语里还常说freak,意思是怪人、行为怪异。 

    8. shit 狗屁，胡说八道 用于表示惊奇、愤怒或极其不高兴等情感，是很常用的脏字。 eg. You big shit!你这个大笨蛋! 

    9. dense/stupid/foolish 傻瓜 dense是笨的理解力慢的、笨脑瓜的，stupid和dense意思很类似,但平时更常用stupid,因为stupid只是说人做了傻事，并没有贬低他人智商的意思，但是dense和foolish就有智障的意思了。 

    10.bastard 混蛋, 讨厌鬼 很常用的一个词，原来的意思是“私生子”，现在俚语里当“混蛋”用，但有时两个朋友开玩笑的时候也可当“家伙”来理解，并不一定是骂人哦。 

    四，其他 

    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 *** 这个不雅的字的, 所以她们就说 shoot, 或是 BS (duwo。net)(=Bull ***) 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. 比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. 然后故意把 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. (转自-读我) 

    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" 的意思, 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 *** up. 这句话常在二人火气很大时的对话中可以听到, 例如电影 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 *** 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妈妈的吗? 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, 说一句, "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, 比如说你跟别人说过不淮碰我的东西, 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, 可以在二种场合说, 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, 喜欢指挥别人. 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 有关的成语, 叫 push the button, 意思就是, 指使, 操纵. 例如, "I know why you are doing this, someone is pushing your button!" 

    8. Are you raised in the barn? 

    你是不是乡下长大的啊? 

    这 句话是形容一个人没教养, 但是是比较开玩笑的语气. 比如说有人坐没坐像, 你就可以对他说这一句. Barn 原指 仓. 我翻成乡下比较能跟中文的意思结合. 老美常用 barn 或是 backyard 来形容一个人没有教养或是没有文化, 像是那天在电视上听到一句, "No backyard language in my house." 就是说, 在我的家里不准讲粗话. 

    9. You want to step outside? 
    You want to take this outside? 

    你想要外面解决吗? 

    老 美跟我们一样, 要是二个人一言不合吵起来了, 可能就有人要说这一句了. 指的就是要不要出去打架啦. 还有一些我听过类似的用法, 例如, "Do you want to pick a fight?"你要挑起争端吗? 或是 "This means war." 这就意谓著跟我宣战. 

    10. You and what army? 
    You and who else? 

    你和哪一路的人马啊? 

    要是有人跟你说 "Do you want to step outside?", 就回他这一句吧. 意思是说, 是喔... 那你找了多少人马要来打架啊? 有时候电视里出现这句对白的时候, 还会打出一排军队的计算机动画, 非常地有意思.

  • Where is he,mysterious man?

    安娜 发布于 2008-07-08 18:18:22

    These days I always think of him,where is he and how is he going on these days.He is so mysterious that he could disappear anytime.I need him-such a friend on line so much.Even I tried to send a message to him before,but no reply yet.In my guess,not because he is too busy to answer me,then because he won't attach importance to me-such a visional friend any longer. But I really need a pure-hearted heterosexual to confide and listen to each other on line.It's such simple thoughts in my mind and love nice things in the world so much.Yeah,that's because of me to lose him,however,I have just wanted to keep the friendship pure and longer.Maybe I have been in a wrong thought,but I can't change it yet.I still hope I can get imformation from him one day and wish him all luck.

    He is so strange,his experience,the way of doing things and chatting.The last time of chatting with him,he said there was earthfall to his office,but his office is in Beijing,how could it be?Sometimes it made me woozy and couldn't sure whether his words were all true or not.Don't think too much,nobody only wants to chat with any heterosexual person on line for very long time and do nothing else.That is my reason indeed,but I still worry about him very much and will put him in my heart forever.He is a special person and do a big significance in my heart.

    Today is the end of examination and raining again.I hate raining,but it is good for my planting indeed,thank rain,I have really taken a fancy to it.Experienced too much,I became strong in heart as well as timid,sometimes can't help worrying something.Try to loose my heart-set.Happiness belongs to me,it is also so hard to get and be held.God and father,thank you both,bless me please!I am strong outside,but very weak at heart.

  • 学好英语的十八条黄金法则

    holmes 发布于 2008-01-06 15:01:39

    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！

    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！

  • 动词的时态

    JianpingLin 发布于 2007-12-17 01:29:05

     

    动词的时态

    2007-12-12 11:56:41 / 个人分类：语法大全

    11.1 一般现在时的用法
     
    1) 经常性或习惯性的动作，常与表示频腮度的时间状语连用。
    　 时间状语： every…, sometimes,　at…, on Sunday
    　 I leave home for school at 7 every morning.

    2) 客观真理，客观存在，科学事实。
    　 The earth moves around the sun.
    　 Shanghai lies in the east of China.
    3) 表示格言或警句中。
    　 Pride goes before a fall.　骄者必败。


    　 注意：此用法如果出现在宾语从句中，即使主句是过去时，从句谓语也要用一般现在时。
    例：Columbus proved that the earth is round..

    4) 现在时刻的状态、能力、性格、个性。
    　 I don't want so much.
    　 Ann Wang writes good English but does not speak well.
    比较：Now I put the sugar in the cup.
    　　　I am doing my homework now.


    　　第一句用一般现在时，用于操作演示或指导说明的示范性动作，表示言行的瞬间动作。再如：Now watch me, I switch on the current and stand back. 第二句中的now是进行时的标志，表示正在进行的动作的客观状况，所以后句用一般现在时。
    11.2 一般过去时的用法
     
    1）在确定的过去时间里所发生的动作或存在的状态。
    　 时间状语有：yesterday, last week, an hour ago, the other day, in 1982等。
    　 Where did you go just now?

    2）表示在过去一段时间内，经常性或习惯性的动作。
    　 When I was a child, I often played football in the street.
    　 Whenever the Browns went during their visit, they were given a warm welcome.　　　　　

    3）句型：
    　 It is time for sb. to do sth　 "到……时间了"　 "该……了"
    　 It is time sb. did sth. "时间已迟了"　 "早该……了"
    　 It is time for you to go to bed.　 你该睡觉了。
    　 It is time you went to bed.　　　你早该睡觉了。
    　 would (had) rather sb. did sth.　表示'宁愿某人做某事'
    　 I'd rather you came tomorrow.

    4) wish, wonder, think, hope 等用过去时，作试探性的询问、请求、建议等。
    　I thought you might have some. 我以为你想要一些。

    比较：
    　　一般过去时表示的动作或状态都已成为过去，现已不复存在。
    　Christine was an invalid all her life.　
    　 (含义：她已不在人间。)
    　Christine has been an invalid all her life.　
    　 (含义：她现在还活着)
    　Mrs. Darby lived in Kentucky for seven years.
    　 (含义：达比太太已不再住在肯塔基州。)
    　Mrs. Darby has lived in Kentucky for seven years.
    　( 含义：现在还住在肯塔基州，有可能指刚离去)
    　　
    注意： 用过去时表示现在，表示委婉语气。
    1）动词want, hope, wonder, think, intend 等。
    　　　Did you want anything else?
    　　　I wondered if you could help me.
    2）情态动词 could, would.
    　　　Could you lend me your bike?
    11.3 used to / be used to
     
    　　used to + do："过去常常"表示过去习惯性的动作或状态，但如今已不存在。
    　　Mother used not to be so forgetful.　　
    　　Scarf used to take a walk.　 (过去常常散步)


    　　be used to + doing： 对……已感到习惯，或"习惯于"，to是介词，后需加名词或动名词。
    　　He is used to a vegetarian diet.　　
    　　Scarf is used to taking a walk.(现在习惯于散步)

    典型例题　　　
    ---- Your phone number again? I ___ quite catch it.
    ---- It's 69568442.　　　　　　
    A. didn't　　B. couldn't　C. don't　D. can't
    　　答案A. 本句虽没有明确的时间状语，但从语意上看 出，在听的时候没有听懂这个动作发生在过去，因此应用过去时。
    11.4 一般将来时
     
    1)　shall用于第一人称，常被will 所代替。
    　　will 在陈述句中用于各人称，在争求意见时常用于第二人称。
    　　Which paragraph shall I read first.
    　　Will you be at home at seven this evening?

    2)　be going to +不定式，表示将来。

    4)　be about to +不定式，意为马上做某事。
    　　He is about to leave for Beijing.
    　 注意：be about to 不能与tomorrow, next week 等表示明确将来时的时间状语连用。

    1）下列动词：come, go, arrive, leave, start, begin, return的一般现在时表将来。这主要用来表示在时间上已确定或安排好的事情。
    　　　The train leaves at six tomorrow morning.
    　　　When does the bus star? It stars in ten minutes.

    2）倒装句，表示动作正在进行，如：
    　　　 Here comes the bus. = The bus is coming.
    　　　 There goes the bell. = The bell is ringing.

    3）在时间或条件句中。
    　　　 When Bill comes (不是will come), ask him to wait for me.
    　　　 I'll write to you as soon as I arrive there.

    4）在动词hope, take care that, make sure that等后。
    　　　 I hope they have a nice time next week.
    　　　 Make sure that the windows are closed before you leave the room.
    11.8 用现在进行时表示将来
     
    　 意为："意图"、"打算"、"安排"、常用于人。常用词为 come, go, start, arrive, leave, stay等。
    　 I'm leaving tomorrow.
    　 Are you staying here till next week?
    11.9 现在完成时
     
    　　现在完成时用来表示之前已发生或完成的动作或状　态，其结果的确和现在有联系。动作或状态发生在过去　但它的影响现在还存在；也可表示持续到现在的动作或　状态。其构成： have (has) +过去分词。
    11.10 比较过去时与现在完成时
     
    　 1）过去时表示过去某时发生的动作或单纯叙述过去的事情，强调动作；现在完成时为过去发生的，强调过去的事情对现在的影响，强调的是影响。
    　
    　 2）过去时常与具体的时间状语连用，而现在完成时通常与模糊的时间状语连用，或无时间状语。

    一般过去时的时间状语:
    yesterday, last week，…ago, in1980, in October, just now, 具体的时间状语

    共同的时间状语:　
    this morning, tonight,this April, now, once，before, already, recently，lately　

    现在完成时的时间状语
    for, since, so far, ever, never, just, yet,　　　　　　till / until, up to now, in past years, always,
    不确定的时间状语
    　
    　 3）现在完成时可表示持续到现在的动作或状态，动词一般是延续性的，如live, teach, learn, work, study, know.
    　 过去时常用的非持续性动词有come, go, leave, start, die, finish, become, get married等。
    　举例：
    　 I saw this film yesterday.
    　　（强调看的动作发生过了。）
    　 I have seen this film.
    　　（强调对现在的影响，电影的内容已经知道了。）　
    　 Why did you get up so early?
    　　（强调起床的动作已发生过了。）
    　 Who hasn't handed in his paper?　
    　　（强调有卷子，可能为不公平竞争。）
    　 She has returned from Paris.　
    　　 她已从巴黎回来了。
    　 She returned yesterday.
    　　 她是昨天回来了。
    　 He has been in the League for three years.
    　　(在团内的状态可延续)
    　 He has been a League member for three years.
    　　(是团员的状态可持续)
    　 He joined the League three years ago.　
    　　( 三年前入团，joined为短暂行为。)
    　 I have finished my homework now.　
    　
    　 ---Will somebody go and get Dr. White?
    　 ---He's already been sent for.　
    　 句子中如有过去时的时间副词（如 yesterday, last, week, in 1960）时，不能使用现在完成时，要用过去时。
    　 （错）Tom has written a letter to his parents last night.
    　 （对）Tom wrote a letter to his parents last night.
    11.11 用于现在完成时的句型
     
    1）It is the first / second time…. that…结构中的从句部分，用现在完成时。
    　 It is the first time that I have visited the city.
    　 It was the third time that the boy had been late.

    2）This is the… that…结构，that 从句要用现在完成时.
    　 This is the best film that I've (ever) seen.
    　　　 这是我看过的最好的电影。
    　 This is the first time (that) I've heard him sing.　这是我第一次听他唱歌。

    典型例题
    (1) ---Do you know our town at all?　
    　 ---No, this is the first time I ___ here.
    A. was　 B. have been　 C. came　 D. am coming
    　 答案B. This is the first time 后面所加从句应为现在完成时，故选B。

    (2) ---Have you ____ been to our town before?
    　 ---No, it's the first time I ___ here.
    A. even, come　 B. even, have come　　C. ever, come　 D. ever, have come
    　 答案D. ever意为曾经或无论何时，反意词为never，此两词常用于完成时。 This is the largest fish I have ever seen. It is / was the first time +that-clause 的句型中，从句要用完成时。
    　 注意：非延续性动词的否定形式可以与表示延续时间的状语连用。即动作不发生的状态是可以持续的。
    （错）I have received his letter for a month.
    （对）I haven't received his letter for almost a month.
    11.12 比较since和for
     
    　　Since 用来说明动作起始时间，for用来说明动作延续时间长度。
    　　I have lived here for more than twenty years.
    　　I have lived here since I was born..
    　　My aunt has worked in a clinic since 1949.　
    　　Some new oilfields have been opened up since 1976.
    　　I have known Xiao Li since she was a little girl.　
    　　My brother has been in the Youth League for two years.　
    　　I have not heard from my uncle for a long time.


    　　注意：并非有for 作为时间状语的句子都用现在完成时。
    　　 I worked here for more than twenty years.
    　　　(我现在已不在这里工作。)
    　　 I have worked here for many years.　　　
    　　　(现在我仍在这里工作。)


    　　小窍门：　当现在完成时+一段时间，这一结构中，我们用下面的公式转化，很容易就能排除非延续动词在完成时中的误使。
    　　1)　(对) Tom has studied Russian for three years.
    　　　 = Tom began to study Russian three years ago, and is still studying it now.
    　　2)　(错) Harry has got married for six years.
    　　　 = Harry began to get married six years ago, and is still getting married now.
    　　显然，第二句不对，它应改为 Harry got married six years ago.　或 Harry has been married for six years.
    11.13 since的四种用法
     
    　 1) since +过去一个时间点　(如具体的年、月、日期、钟点、1980, last month, half past six)。
    　 I have been here since 1989.
    　
    　 2) since +一段时间+ ago
    　 I have been here since five months ago.


    　 3) since +从句　
    　 Great changes have taken place since you left.
    　 Considerable time has elapsed since we have been here.


    　 4) It is +一段时间+ since从句
    　 It is two years since I became a postgraduate student.
    11.14 延续动词与瞬间动词
     
    1) 用于完成时的区别
    　　延续动词表示经验、经历； 瞬间动词表示行为的结 果，不能与表示段的时间状语连用。
    　　 He has completed the work.　　他已完成了那项工作。 (表结果)
    　　 I've known him since then.　　 我从那时起就认识他了。(表经历)

    2)　用于till / until从句的差异
    　　 延续动词用于肯定句，表示"做……直到……" 瞬间动词用于否定句，表示"到……，才……"
    　　 He didn't come back until ten o'clock.
    　　　　他到10 点才回来。
    　　 He slept until ten o'clock.　　　　　
    　　　　他一直睡到10点。
    　
    典型例题
    1. You don't need to describe her. I ___ her several times.　
    A. had met　B. have met　 C. met　D. meet
    　 答案B. 首先本题后句强调对现在的影响，我知道她的模样，你不用描述。再次，several times告知为反复发生的动作，因此用现在完成时。

    2.---I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
    　---Oh, not at all. I ___ here only a few minutes.
    A. have been　 B. had been　 C. was　D. will be
    　 答案A. 等待的动作由过去开始，持续到现在，应用现在完成时。
    11.15 过去完成时
     
    1） 概念：表示过去的过去
    ----|-------|-----|---->其构成是had +过去分词构成。
    那时以前　 那时　现在　　　　　　

    2） 用法
    　a.　在told, said, knew, heard, thought等动词后的宾语从句。
    　　 She said (that) she had never been to Paris.
    　b. 状语从句
    　　 在过去不同时间发生的两个动作中，发生在先，用过去完成时；发生在后，用一般过去时。
    　　 When the police arrived, the thieves had run away.
    　c. 表示意向的动词，如hope, wish, expect, think, intend, mean, suppose等，用过去完成时表示"原本…，未能…"
    　　 We had hoped that you would come, but you didn't.

    3)　过去完成时的时间状语before, by, until , when, after, once, as soon as。
    　 He said that he had learned some English before.
    　 By the time he was twelve, Edison had began to make a living by himself.
    　Tom was disappointed that most of the guests had left when he arrived at the party.

    典型例题　
    　 The students ___ busily when Miss Brown went to get a book she ___ in the office.　
    A. had written, left　B，were writing, has left　 C. had written, had left　D. were writing, had left
    　 答案D. "把书忘在办公室"发生在"去取书"这一过去的动作之前，因此"忘了书"这一动作发生在过去的过去，用过去完成时。句中when表示的是时间的一点，表示在"同学们正忙于……"这一背景下，when所引导的动作发生。因此
    前一句应用过去进行时。

    注意：　had no … when　　　　　还没等…… 就……
    　　　　had no sooner… than　　刚…… 就……
    　 He had no sooner bought the car than he sold it.
    11.16 用一般过去时代替完成时
     
    1)　两个动作如按顺序发生，又不强调先后，或用then，and，but 等连词时，多用一般过去时。
    　　 When she saw the mouse，she screamed.
    　　 My aunt gave me a hat and I lost it.

    2 ) 两个动作相继发生，可用一般过去时；如第一个动作需要若干时间完成，用过去完成时。
    　　 When I heard the news, I was very excited.

    3)　叙述历史事实，可不用过去完成时，而只用一般过去时。
    　　 Our teacher told us that Columbus discovered America in 1492.
    11.17 将来完成时
     
    　1) 构成will / be going to do sth.
    　2) 概念　
    　　a. 状态完成：表示某事继续到将来某一时为止一直有的状态。
    　　b. 动作完成：表示将来某一时或另一个将来的动作之前，已经完成的动作或一获得的经验。
    　　　They will have been married for 20 years by then.
    　　　You will have reached Shanghai by this time tomorrow.

    　A. has lost, don't find　　 B. is missing, don't find　C. has lost, haven't found　 D. is missing, haven't found.　　
    　 答案D. 前句是一个仍在持续的状态，应用进行时，由于没有找到，其影响仍然存在，应用完成时，瞬间动词用于否定式时可用于完成时。

  • 生病了怎样跟老板请假

    13259119599 发布于 2007-12-06 14:47:39

    天气骤冷骤寒，白领们要是一不小心生了病，是扛着还是请假？一面是病来如山倒，一面是催着要工作的老板，真是两难呐！这期我们就来谈谈怎么请假吧！

    　　Why don't you take this afternoon off?为什么不下午请假呢？我想请/休两天假，就可以说I want to take two days off.我有两天休假，则说I have two day soff.

    　　无限扩展：请病假：ask for a sick leave、请事假：ask for a casual leave请产假：ask for maternity leave，所以，I am on my maternity leave.就是“我在休产假”的意思。

    　　I'm already behind schedule.我的工作还没完成，已落后时间表了。Behind schedule表示落后于时间表，比原计划慢。无限扩展：表示“按计划完成”就是on schedule，如We finished the project on schedule.我们按计划完成了工程项目。

    　　有时候老板们会定个最后期限，表示工作在此之前必须完成。表示这个“最后期限，时间限制”用deadline，如We had to work overtime last night in order to meet the deadline.我们昨晚为赶最后期限，不得不加班来完成工作。

    　　He would think that I was putting him on.他会觉得我在骗他。

    　　to put some body on愚弄、欺骗某人；如she put on an English accent.她假装带有英国口音。

    　　无限扩展：You're putting me on!你在开我的玩笑。

    　　I'll handle him.我会跟他解释的。To handle表示处理、应付、应对。如I can't handle children.我管不住孩子们。She handled a difficult argument skillfully.她巧妙地应付了一场艰难的辩论。

    　　实战对话：

  • 英语形容词翻译的小窍门

    13259119599 发布于 2007-11-16 22:15:06

    英语和汉语语言结构和表达习惯有很多差异之处，翻译时往往不能死扣原文逐词逐句译出。本文拟谈谈形容词的翻译问题。

    　　一、一些原义并无否定意思的形容词和别的词搭配，有时可译成否定句。

    　　1. These goods are in short supply.

    　　这些货物供应不足。

    　　2. This equation is far from being complicated.

    　　这个方程一定也不复杂。

    　　二、为了使译文自然流畅，读起来顺口，在一些形容词前可根据上下文内容加上副词“很”、“最”等字。

    　　1. It was as pleasant a day as I have ever spent.

    　　这是我度过最愉快的一天。

    　　2. It is easy to compress a gas.

    　　气体很容易压缩。

    　　三、有时可将英语的“形容词+名词短语”译成汉语的主谓结构

    　　1. She spoke in a high voice.

    　　她讲话声音很尖。

    　　2. This engine develops a high torque.

    　　这台发动机产生的转矩很大。

    　　四、如果一个名词前有几个形容词修饰，英译时应根据汉语习惯决定其顺序。

    　　1. a large brick conference hall

    　　一个用砖砌的大会议厅。

    　　2. a plastic garden chair

    　　一把在花园里用的塑料椅子

    　　五、英语中一些表示知觉、情感、欲望等心理状态的形容词，同连系动词构成复合谓语时，翻译时可将形容词译成动词。

    　　1. You are ignorant of the duties you undertake in marrying.

    　　你完全不懂你在婚姻方面承担的责任。

    　　2. Such criticisms have become familiar in his later

    　　commentaries on America.

    　　类似的批评在他后来写的评论美国的文章中屡见不鲜。

    　　3. He is truly sorry for his past, and he has undertaken to

    　　give up motorcars entirely and for ever.

    　　他诚恳地忏悔过去，并保证永远不再玩汽车。

    　　六、由于语言习惯不同，英语里的形容词有时译成汉语副词。

    　　1. I am going to be good and sweet and kind to every body.

    　　我要对每一个人都亲切、温顺、和善。

    　　2. He asked me for a full account of myself and family.

    　　他详尽地问起我自己和我家里的情况。

    　　3. Another war will be the absolute end of our country.

    　　再来一次战争将彻底毁灭我们这个国家。

    　　从以上几个方面可以看出，译好形容词是使译文通顺、流畅的一个环节。

  • 电影中容易误解的英文词组

    13259119599 发布于 2007-11-17 07:55:23

    1.dude(老兄，老哥)

    　　容易误解为"花花公子, 纨绔子弟"，实际上此词是叫男性年轻人常用的，与guy的意思相同，只是guy用的范围更广。

    　　例子：Hey, dude, look at that girl. (喂，老兄，看那个女孩)

    　　2.chick(女孩)

    　　容易误解为"鸡，妓女"，实际上此词是叫年轻女孩常用的，语气中确实有轻佻、不尊重的含义。

    　　例子：Look at that chick at the door. (看门口的那个女孩)

    　　3.pissed off(生气，不高兴)

    　　千万别认为是"尿尿"的意思。piss off在字典中则是"滚开, 滚蛋"的意思，实际上此词是表示"生气，不高兴"，与angry同意。

    　　例子：Man, is that guy pissed off? (哎呀，哪家伙真的生气了。)

    　　4.Hey, Give me five(嗨，好啊！)

    　　此短语非常流行，经常在大片中出现，是击掌庆贺时用的。

    　　例子：Hey, dude! Give me five! (嗨，老兄，好啊！)

    　　5.freak out(大发脾气)

    　　总是在片子中看到这个词，freak是"奇异的, 反常的"的意思，但在这里是"大发脾气"的意思。out也可以省略，这个词在美国很常用，老式说法是 be very upset。

    　　例子：He's gonna freak. (他快要发脾气了。)

    　　6.Get out of here(别开玩笑了，别骗人了)

    　　这个词大家都很熟悉，容易联想到"滚开"的意思，现在很多时候都是"别开玩笑了，别骗人了"的意思，在片子常可以听到，在美国非常流行。

    　　例子：Man：You look very beautiful. (你很漂亮。)

    　　Girl: Get out of here. (别骗人了。)

    　　7.gross(真恶心)

    　　这可不是"混乱"的意思。字典中gross是"总的, 毛重的"的意思，实际上此词是表示"恶心"，与gag 同意，是美国年轻人一天到晚挂在嘴边的词。

    　　例子：Yuck, what is this stuff? It looks gross. (哎呀，这是什么东西？真恶心。)

    　　8.Hello(有没有搞错)

    　　并不总是打招呼的意思，有时是"有没有搞错"，要根据上下文来判断。

    　　例子：Hello, we'll be late! ( 有没有搞错, 我们要迟到了。)

    　　9.green(新手，没有经验的人)

    　　不是"绿色"的意思，也不是"生气"的意思。green有时表示"新手，没有经验"。

    　　例子：She's really green. She looks nervous. (她是新手，看起来很紧张)

    　　10.Have a crush on someone(爱上某人)

    　　由于crush是"压碎, 碾碎"的意思，因此整个短语容易被误解为"对某人施加压力"。实际上此词表示"爱上某人"，与fall in love with 同意。

    　　例子：She thinks she has a crush on John. (她认为她爱上约翰了)
