  • 英语口语—讨价还价

    2007-10-21

    直接杀价：

    That's unreasonable! I'd take it for (100¥.)
    这真是卖得太贵了！如果（一百块）我就买。

    How about (100¥)?
    卖（一百块钱）如何？

    I'd buy this if it were cheaper.
    再便宜一点我就买。

    拐弯抹角地杀：

    Lower the price, and I'll consider it.
    价钱低一点我才会考虑。

    It's a little overpriced.
    这标价有点贵。

    I like everything about it except the price.
    这东西除了价钱之外我都喜欢。

    尔虞我诈地杀：

    I've seen this cheaper (in) other places.
    我在别家有看过更便宜的。


    I heard other stores were having great mark-downs on this item.
    听说别家的这个东西在大减价。

    If I buy more than one, will you give me a discount?
    多买一点有折扣吗？

  • About you~

    2007-10-16

        Last night, I missed you and bring everything that you treat me in my in mind. One year ago I always feel like you have the results, even if only a little. But I was wrong. Originally, you have deceived me!! Everyone more than your sweetheart, but I will?? Who am I? I just a pawn of yours. At that time, you did not say good-bye to her, but you told me you never liked others. You cheated me!! You said I was your favourite dear, and why?? When I know she, you know what did I think? I knew, you really love me at that time, and you were afraid of if I had known the thing, I should have angry, but when a time before the facts before me, how can I accept! Do you think I should smiled treat it?? I am not brave, and not strong. Perhaps sometimes I do not optimistic. Perhaps I was too afraid to lose the thing, which I own, I do not want to pray. Because it is not my style.

        Now you became a secret in my heart~

  • 很好的一段话

    2007-10-16

      昨天，以前的朋友通过email发给我这段话，说Share together，很好的一段话。我也拿出来，一起和大家分享。尤其是最后一句写的真的是perfect...
    　　
    　　 As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
    　　
    　　You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
    　　
    　　You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new
    　　love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

  • Karen

    2007-10-16

        I always wonder what makes a great singer like Karen. Karen had one of the most distinctive, expressive,smooth female voices of all time, and it is totally awsome. She made every song sound like it was really happening. Her rendering of every song glows with incomparable warmth. In such a hectic and crazy world where everybody seems to be badly in need of more fuel to burn a life of raging flames, I feel lucky to be able to get from her songs the cultivation of a calm and pure heart. Thank you, Karen.

  • 一位名人最狂妄的演讲

    2007-10-15

     Graduates of Yale University， I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before， but I want you to do something for me. Please， take a good look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now， consider this：five years from now， 10 years from now， even 30 years from now， odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right， meanwhile， will also be a loser. And you， in the middle？ What can you expect？ Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude.

        "In fact， as I look out before me today， I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers.

        "You're upset. That's understandable. After all， how can I， Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison，college dropout， have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions？ I'll tell you why. Because I， Lawrence "Larry" Ellison， second richest man on the planet， am a college dropout， and you are not.

        "Because Bill Gates， richest man on the planet —— for now， anyway —— is a college dropout， and you are not.

        "Because Paul Allen， the third richest man on the planet， dropped out of college， and you did not.

        "And for good measure， because Michael Dell， No. 9 on the list and moving up fast， is a college dropout， and you， yet again， are not.

        "Hmm . . . you're very upset. That's understandable. So let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out， quite sincerely， that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you， I imagine， have spent four to five years here， and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' All that of is good. For in truth， you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy.

        "You will need them because you didn't drop out， and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure， you may， perhaps， work your way up to No. 10 or No. 11， like Steve Ballmer. But then， I don't have to tell you who he really works for， do I？

        And for the record， he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer.

        "Finally， I realize that many of you， and hopefully by now most of you， are wondering， 'Is there anything I can do？ Is there any hope for me at all？' Actually， no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much， think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap， and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.

        "Hmm…… you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you， Class of '00. You are a write-off，so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200，000-a-year jobs， where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.

        "Instead， I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you， and I can't stress this enough： leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up.

        "For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . ."

        （At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage.）

    [演讲内容]

        耶鲁的毕业生们，我很抱歉——如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。我想请你们为我做一件事。请你——好好看一看周围，看一看站在你左边的同学，看一看站在你右边的同学。

        请你设想这样的情况：从现在起5年之后，10年之后，或30年之后，今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者；右边的这个人，同样，也是个失败者。而你，站在中间的家伙，你以为会怎样？一样是失败者。失败的经历。失败的优等生。

        说实话，今天我站在这里，并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者，我只看到了一千个失败者。你们感到沮丧，这是可以理解的。为什么，我，埃里森，一个退学生，竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端？我来告诉你原因。因为，我，埃里森，这个行星上第二富有的人，是个退学生，而你不是。因为比尔。盖茨，这个行星上最富有的人——就目前而言——是个退学生，而你不是。因为艾伦，这个行星上第三富有的人，也退了学，而你没有。再来一点证据吧，因为戴尔，这个行星上第九富有的人——他的排位还在不断上升，也是个退学生。而你，不是。

        ……你们非常沮丧，这是可以理解的。

        你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。你将来需要这种'治疗'.你需要它们，因为你没辍学，所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。哦，当然，你可以，也许，以你的方式进步到第10位，第11位，就像Steve.但，我没有告诉你他在为谁工作，是吧？

        根据记载，他是研究生时辍的学，开化得稍晚了些。

        现在，我猜想你们中间很多人，也许是绝大多数人，正在琢磨，'我能做什么？ 我究竟有没有前途？'当然没有。太晚了，你们已经吸收了太多东西，以为自己懂得太多。你们再也不是19岁了。你们有了'内置'的帽子，哦，我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。

        嗯……你们已经非常沮丧啦。这是可以理解的。所以，现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦——

        绝不是为了你们，2000年毕业生。你们已经被报销，不予考虑了。我想，你们就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20万的可怜工作吧，在那里，工资单是由你两年前辍学的同班同学签字开出来的。事实上，我是寄希望于眼下还没有毕业的同学。我要对他们说，离开这里。收拾好你的东西，带着你的点子，别再回来。退学吧，开始行动。

        我要告诉你，一顶帽子一套学位服必然要让你沦落……就像这些保安马上要把我从这个讲台上撵走一样必然……（此时，Larry被带离了讲台）

    Larry. Ellison

  • Busy life

    2007-10-15

        Well, here I am in Hong Kong now.  Have had a very busy time with helping my friend get an a partment and then buying furniture and getting the  the apartment in some sort of decent appearance.

        The flight from Nanjing: I sat in the plane on the tarmac for one and half hours before the plane took off!!!  No explanation was given for the delay in taking off.  Anyway, eventually the plane took off.  After I served breskfast  on the plane, the man sitting next to me spilt 2 cups of hot coffee over me!!!  So there was  I soaked  to the skin  on my left side with hot coffee . As a reault , I  have a large burn mark on my left elbow, plus a rather borrible burn on my left hip.  It has been very sore and unpleasant, but is healing up now.

                  
        My friends and I started apartment hunting on last Thursday.  After looking at 4 apartments, we decided to take  take the 4th one I saw.  It has heaps and heaps of cupboard space and built-in wardrobes, which is what she need. The kitchen and bathroom are a little bit old, but they are still livable.  The apartment  has 3 bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen and living/dining room.  It is much smaller than what my friend had on the campus, but is still roomy enough for her.  Shepaid the required money on Friday and got the keys straight away.  Then the furniture shopping started.  And what fun? That was!!!  Yesterday we finalized all of it except for a computer desk. On Friday, her apartment  will be fully furnished except for the sofa -that comes on the tomorrow.  So I have been rather busy since getting back to HK.

  • 今年考研英语作文十大话题

    2007-10-09

    今年的英语考题可能在以下题目中出题，请大家好好准备：

    　　1、创新　　　　　　2、科技的发展（如Internet）　　　　3、知识就是力量

    　　4、诚信　　　　　　5、环境保护　　　　　　　　　　　6、应用文写作

    　　7、奥运会　　　　　8、WTO　　9、哲理性漫画　　　　10、百分比和增减速度图表

    　　当然6、7、8出题的可能性不大，请关注9和10的写作。

    　　51Test有人分析说，写作题的变化从最早的提纲作文，发展到图表和图画作文，而且后者在近年出现的比率更大，考生也应该对这两类作文形式加以关注。写作在考试形式上也越考越灵活，总体上放弃了机械做题，避免考生猜题、押题，每年出题都在求变，考生就应该把握题型规律，掌握模式化语言，以不变应万变。背范文、照搬句子在现在的写作考试中已经不那么有效了，但是如果能掌握写作的框架结构和精彩句型就能占据一部分优势，这些将构筑起一篇文章以及亮出它的“闪光点”，得到评卷老师的欣赏。图表作文的写作要看清数据的变化，通过坐标和图表纵横比较说明事实，并且从表面看到实质，了解变化反映的深层意义。同时考生还应该掌握图表术语，比如“增长、降低、突增至……恢复稳定”等一批单词和词组的表达。图画作文的难点在于对图画信息的描述是否准确，侧重锻炼考生看图说话的能力，如果表达不全的话就要考虑用迂回来绕开，但是不能偏离主题。然后要点破图画的寓意，分析背后的原因，这是文章的重头戏，所以在复习中就要多看些报刊文摘的图片，培养对图片的敏感和逻辑思维能力，多关注社会热点也是很好的锻炼方式。汪海涛强调，写作最重要的是不能跑题，在做题前列出提纲和主干来是很有必要的，考生在复习中也要做些这方面的练习。在考研进行到这最后的阶段，查缺补漏最关键，但是在做错题时不能悲观失望，应该想到的是自己又攻克了一个难关，多掌握了一个知识点，调整好考试心态，增强信心，迎接考试。

    　　范文一（创新）

    　　With the economic globalization becoming increasingly intensive， invention or innovation has become one of central topic around the world. Many countries see it as the key to develop their economy. Our government， with no exception， regard it as “ the soul of our nation.” What， however， can we benefit from it？ First of all， invention or innovation can enhance overall national economy， which is important to heighten our nation status in the world. Additionally， if factories have the abilities in invention， the factories will be booming. As a result， they can provide our people with more jobs and it will make our nation more stable. What is more， a majority of new products may be avaible through invention. Therefore， it is also significant factor for improving our living standards. Owing to such benefits， no wonder more and more countries focus on invention today.

             Recognizing its importance is only the fist step to advocate invetion or innovation， and some effective measures should be taken for it. For one thing， our authority should continue to enlarge the recruit of graduate. For another， the conditions of scientists and skilled workers should be further improved. Only in this way， can “the soul of our nation” be fully embodied and our nation have a brighter future.

    　　范文二（Internet发展）

    　　Internet is becoming more and more popular in the world. As is shown in the pictures， two persons are sitting in front of their own computer in different places. they seem to be very happy owing to the accession to Internet. We can see clearly that the left fellow（guy） types a message and sends it to the right one， the message says：“David， would you have a coffee tonight？”the right one receives it and quickly replys：“sure，where？”What a convenient tool of Internet is！ With the rapid development of high technologies and economy， people will get more and more benefits from the use of internet.（or： people will benefit a lot from Internet） There is no denying that COMPUTER NETWORK is an indication of social civilazation and progress. internet is an information pool ， people can search anything they want by TYPING THE KEY words. For example， someone wants to know the Great Wall of China， what he/she need to do is only TO OPEN AN INTERNET EXPORER and TYPE the words：“the Great Wall”and search it， then he/she can get so many relevant links. What‘s more， people can purchase their favorite goods through the Internet instead of going shopping in CHAOTIC streets. LAST BUT NOT LEAST， people ALSO can MAKE FULL USE OF Internet to study ONLINE . From the ANALYSIS made above， we can come to （or REACH）a conclusion that we SHOULD make the BEST use of Internet， which CAN brings us a great deal of benefits. as a citizen of China we should study hard. Only in this way Can we have a brighter future and make our country flourishing（OR： PROSPEROUS）。

    　　范文三（知识就是力量）

    　　Knowledge Is Power Recently there has been a discussion regarding the issue of knowl- edge in the newspaper. As can be seen from the picture， knowledge is symbolized by a clenched fist as power. The fist sends out a message for “obedience”， threatening to crack with power any hard nut. The more demanding and challenging a task is， the more powerful the fist seems to grow. Similarly， knowledge， the strongest power for human beings， feeds up the field of science and technology. The more ad- vanced and developed a field is， the more profound knowledge seems to become. A specific example is the dunaping of Mir， Russia‘s space station. As is the case of the Russian space program， the country could no longer afford to keep Mir aloft in orbit because of lack Of financial support. Therefore， Rus- sia decided to dump the space station. The effect is both immediate and far -reaching. As far as the present is concerned， the successful launching and dumping of IVrLr has proved to the world that mankind， armed with pro- fca. md knowledge， cannot just build things but can operate them welt. For the distant impact， the once- in- a- lifetime success of/VFtr provides man with valuable and indispensable experience for manned space flight in the years to crane. Then， someday in the furore， them might appear in space more Mirs， visiting Mars， spreading friendship， parading the perfect maste- ry of knowledge. As to the best way to master knowledge， I suggest that everyone of us “ask not what others will learn from you， but what you can learn from the others.” By so doing， I sincerely believe each person， pro- tected by’ the “fist”， will be learned and knowledgeable.

    　　范文四（保护环境）A

    　　From this cartoon， we can see that at the top end of the river， is a chemical factory and a paperrnaking factory which send out and poisonous wastes. And the river has been seriously polluted， n be seen from the color of it. Along this “black” river， there are a few people selling fresh water which must have been taken from far away places. At the first glance， it is very strange to us how can people sell wa- ter along the river， but this is the case， because the water in this river is undrinkable. This presents a serious social problem——environmental pollution. With the development of economy， our living standards have been greatly improved. But we can‘ t ignore the fact the air we take in and the water we drink today are not as fresh and clean as they used to be. Some kinds of pollution can even be deadly to people. It is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem. I think we can first call people’s attention to this problem so that they will be aware of the serious consequences of it. Then，we can pass certain laws to restrain the factories from sending out wastes. Finally， we can do more resarch work to find out ways to deal with the wastes.

    　　范文四（保护环境）B

    　　?Keep Square Clean， Tidy On Sunday， still on display on Tian‘ anmen Square were dozens of floats that were paraded along Chang’ an Avenue during the National Day celebrations. Thousands of people strolled on the narrow lanes be- tween the floats that fragmented the square， busily taking photos. Not far from the noisy crowds， yellow leaves fell nonchalantly from locust trees along the driveway， sending out the first signals of the coming autumn. But even if all the leaves fall， they still cannot cover the brown and black spots on the whitish stones in the huge square. Such stains of chewing gum， stale oil or some worse blemish have remained a constant pain for city cleaners since the square ‘was re- opened a few months ago after renovations to celebrate the 50th anni- versary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Few renovation project planners likely foresee this discouraging outcome. Originally， they merely intended to give the city a face- lift. The square was indeed impeccable when new： The-white terrazzo surface not only looks clean but it was made with materials that help prevent it from becoming slippery. However， as time goes by， the virtue becomes the vice： the sur- face attracts and accentuates dirt. As a result， China‘ s most high - profile site has to suffer the indignity of being paraded daily before the public in a humiliation state. While the tourists who litter should bear the bulk of the blame， the renovation designers should also have learned something： including the square’s sanitary maintenance issue into their consideration.

    　　范文五（求职信）

    　　August 7，2001 Dear Sir or Madam： Do you have any work in your Accounting Department for a part -time employee？ Miss Wang， of the University Placement Office， has suggested that I write to you， since I would like to work for your company after I finish my courses at the University. I‘ve heard so much about your company， and I believe it offers a good chance to a man interested in construction work and trained in business. I’m enclosing a resume that gives details of my life so far. My fa- ther died when I was twelve years old， and I‘ve been on my own since fourteen.

  • 英语美文：为母亲祈祷

    2007-9-27

    Dear God，

    Now that I am no longer young， I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.

    如今我不再年轻，一些朋友的母亲已经去世。我曾听这些子女们说过，他们从没有向母亲充分表达过他们的感激之情，而待到要告诉时为时已晚了。

    I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change， but I do. As I grow older and wiser， I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence， but they flow easily from my pen.

    幸运的是，我亲爱的母亲依然健在。我对她的感情与日俱增。母亲没有变，而我却变了。随着年岁的增长，我越来越懂事了，我认识道她是个非常了不起的人。这些话在她面前我难以启齿，但在笔下却可以轻易地写出来，这令我感到多么难过。

    How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love， patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler， for understanding a moody teenager， for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes her mother really is?

    一个女儿该怎样开口感谢她的母亲所给予的生命？感谢她在抚养孩子时所付出的爱、耐心以及无私的辛勤劳动？感谢她跟在蹒跚学步的孩子身后奔跑，对情绪不定的少女的理解，以及对一个自以为是的大学生的宽容？感谢她等待女儿认识到她真实一位好母亲的这一天？

    How does a grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice(when asked ) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:”I told you so”， when she could have uttered these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself—loving， thoughtful， patient， and forgiving?

    一个成年女子该怎样感谢母亲依然如故的角色？感谢在被问到时她会及时提供良言，而在不需要时她会保持沉默？感谢她没有说：“我告诉过你，”而她本来可以说上许多次？感谢她始终不变的爱心、体贴周到、耐心与宽容厚道？

    I don’t know how， dear God， except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.

    我不知道该怎样来表达，亲爱的上帝，除了请求你好好地保佑她——那时她该得到的——并帮助我朝她作出的榜样看齐。我祈愿在孩子的眼里我会如同母亲在我眼里一般好。

  • 学习英语口语的十大误区

    2007-9-27

    学习英语口语的十大误区
    语法当先 说话、写作之前先想语法，惟恐语法有错，此为学校课堂死板的英语教学给学生留下的最严重的后遗症之一。

    ????? 心理恐惧 听不懂更不敢说话，读不快也不敢写，惟恐语法有错导致心理上的畏惧，认为英语是高深莫测的学问，认为英语老师的思维方式才是惟一正确的思路，培养了许多考试高分，而真正运用英语低能的畸形学生。

    ????? 学无致用 学习英语不是为了运用和表达，而是为了考试和过关，于是动机走偏结果是学得越多，丢得越多；没有把英语变成自己表达自己，与人交流的真正工具，事倍功半，浪费自己的时间和金钱。

    ????? 落后陈旧 学了不少古董英语。任何语言都是“活”的语言，在每天发展新的词汇／意向／用法等，在不断丰富，不断进步，从这个意义上说，学习陈旧的语言毫无新鲜感不说，基本无处可用。

    ????? 急用乱医 不少人在急用英语的情形下，只好囫囵吞枣，有病乱投医，不管学校学习方法是否适合自己，先上着再说，选择缺乏理性分析与思考，效果也就可见能有多好？

    ????? 语音不规范 语音非常“中国”是不少英语学习者的特点，原因是听的国际化的发音太少，中国的英语老师中发音语感好的实在有限，所以与其等待他们提高，不如跨越他们(在语音方面)多向母语为英语的人士学习。

    ????? 用法不入流 不鲜活、不入时、不风趣幽默的语言就不是我们要学的语言，不入流、不分场合的语言学了就无用武之处，学它何用？

    ????? 盲目崇拜中国的外语学院 这些外语学院确实有很长历史，经验丰富的教授老师，但是也有他们的局限性，教材陈旧、观念陈旧、方法陈旧是他们的通病和致命缺点。

    ????? 幻想一蹴而就 很多人幻想速成英语高手，也许是学得太久，收效太不成正比，所以有这样的幻想倾向的人就越多，幻想的程度就越深，幻想的花样也越层出不穷。

    ????? 期望高学费提高学习效果 外因通过内因发生作用，学习语言也不例外。现实中不少人，不想通过艰辛的付出就想学好语言，结果希望越大，失望越大。
