陈冠希承认拍摄不雅照(图)
2008-03-10 14:27:11
Edison Chen has "failed as a role model" and will quit the Hong Kong entertainment industry following a sex picture scandal.
"I decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and search my soul," he told about 300 local and foreign journalists at a press conference here yesterday.
He added he will do charity work for the next few months.
The highly anticipated conference was held on Chen's return to Hong Kong yesterday morning. He had earlier issued a video statement saying he felt pain, hurt and frustration.
The actor/singer spoke in a calm voice, but his eyes were clouded with tears and he sighed before starting.
He said he had not been trying to escape responsibility while he was away, as he needed to show support to his family and loved ones.
He had helped with the police investigation, he said.
He admitted the pictures were taken by him, but stressed he had no intention of making them public.

"The photos were stolen and distributed without my consent," he said.
About 500 indecent pictures of Chen and several women celebrities, including Gillian Chung, Bobo Chan and Cecilia Cheung, appeared on the Internet last month and quickly spread.
They had been taken over a period of several years.
Chung said last week she had been "naive and silly" in the past.
Chen made an open apology for any upset caused by the images. "Most importantly, I would like to say sorry to all the people in Hong Kong. I give my apology sincerely to you all unreservedly and with my heart," he said.
"I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society. And in this regard, I failed. I failed as a role model."
"To all the young people in our community, let this be a lesson to you all. This is not an example to be set for you," he said.
"I hope after today, I can have your forgiveness. With regard to everything that has happened, I am deeply sorry. I hope you all will accept my apology and give me a chance," he said.
Chen said he had instructed his lawyer to do everything possible to protect the innocent victims of the case.

“金酸梅”告诉你07年最差男女主角(图)
2008-03-10 14:25:31
琳德塞·罗恩与艾迪·墨菲并获“金酸梅奖”北京时间2月25日上午，美国当地时间24日晚，第80届奥斯卡颁奖晚会“躲过”了罢工危机，如期举行，这不能不值得庆幸。现在大家对各奖项的最终结果都有了一定的了解。相信也有很多朋友对未来的观影计划又有了新的充实的安排吧！
那么大家可别忘了，与奥斯卡对应的还有一个叫“金酸梅”的奖项，这是专门针对那些年度烂片和烂演员设置的奖项，有点“嘲讽”奥斯卡的意思。今年已经是“金酸梅”奖项颁布的第28届了，同样它赶在奥斯卡开幕的前24个小时。下面是来自imdb.com的报道： Lindsay Lohan(琳德塞·罗恩) and Eddie Murphy(艾迪·墨菲) have been named and shamed as the worst actors of 2007, after landing a spray-painted(喷漆的) trophy apiece(每人各……) at the Golden Raspberry Awards(金酸梅奖). Lohan's movie I Know Who Killed Me(“我知道谁杀了我”，又名“双面疑杀”) broke records by scooping eight of the nine prizes it was nominated for at the spoof Oscars ceremony - nicknamed the Razzies - in Los Angeles on Saturday. Lohan alone managed to win two - for Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple, for a scene in the movie in which she appears alongside herself. Worst Film winner I Know Who Killed Me has smashed the unenviable record set by John Travolta-starring sci-fi epic Battlefield Earth(多年前的“地球战场”被狠狠得恶评了一把) and stripper drama Showgirls, which each scored seven wins at previous ceremonies. Murphy was awarded three of the four prizes in the worst acting categories for the trio of characters, male and female, he played in the critically mauled but commercially successful Norbit. Due to the prize-winning dominance of I Know Who Killed Me and Norbit, Daddy Day Camp was the only other movie to be humiliated with a Razzie award, for Worst Prequel or Sequel -

海外见闻：美国高中生学习苦不苦(图)
2008-03-10 14:17:31
作者的美国高中生活每天上课到3：05铁定下课参加体育锻炼；每门课的作业最多做55分钟；晚上学生和老师的全家住在一起，这是美国排名前十的高中名校劳伦斯高中的学生们的真实生活。到美国读大学已经不是什么新鲜事，但美国中学生活却让人们感到非常神秘。昨天，劳伦斯高中的师生们来到南京外国语学校，原来他们的学习压力也挺重，而中文成了非常时尚的学习科目。
学习：作业也多负担也重
劳伦斯高中采取小班化教学，每次课有13-16个学生，所有文科科目如语言、历史等都是“圆桌式”教学，一个椭圆形的大桌子，老师和学生坐在一起讨论，回答问题也不用举手、起立，大家平等地畅所欲言。
这次带队的中文教师秦阳阳介绍，美国的高中实行学分制，必修科目有数学、科学、语言、英文、历史和综合学科等课程，但学生可以根据自己的兴趣选修课程，比如艺术、宗教等。学校里的选修课非常多，达到100多门，各教研组被称为系，学生可以自由选择。
“很多人认为美国学生的学习轻松，表面看是如此，其实他们也要下很大的功夫。”劳伦斯高中上午8点上课，下午3：05下课，一共上六节课。如果当天有课，这门课的老师可以布置作业。作业是分级的，最少的一门35分钟，还有45分钟和55分钟的。一般高年级的学生修的课程都较难，每门作业布置的时间上限是55分钟，如果一人修五门，五个55分钟就是四个多小时，作业负担相当重。
课后：学生宿舍里上晚自习
高中每幢学生宿舍都有两个老师家庭同住。每个宿舍都是一幢2-3层的楼，住30多个学生，他们有的是双人间，有的是单间。老师家庭一般住在两边，一家一套三室一厅，每层都有门通向走廊学生的房间。大家都统一在学校餐厅吃饭，同一宿舍的老师和学生在一起，包括他们的父母、孩子，就像一个大家庭，每天学生的晚自习也不用到教室进行，在宿舍完成就行。
美国高中是四年，分9年级、10年级、11年级、12年级，学生的年龄不同，回宿舍和熄灯的时间也不同。9年级晚上8点回宿舍报到，11点熄灯；10、11年级8：30报到，11：30熄灯；12年级9：00报到，不限熄灯时间。“报到必须与老师面对面，然后开始晚自习，低年级学生房间要敞开，不能走动、聊天。”
升学：高收费高成绩要个性
“华盛顿邮报去年统计了考入美国前十名的名牌大学的高中学校情况，劳伦斯高中排在第三。”在美国这是一个顶级高中，它与普林斯顿大学相邻，每年都有20多人进入这所经常排名第一的大学，哈佛、耶鲁每年也至少能各录取10多人。这样的学校中国学生能上吗？答案是肯定的，南外仙林分校就有一位女生刚刚插班进入11年级，不过，它的要求也是一般人达不到的。秦阳阳说，以前到美国读高中难拿签证，现在略有放开，目前学校有80多名国际学生，只有3名来自中国。 秦阳阳建议，如果想到美国读高中，最好能在9年级或10年级去，到了高年级会更加吃力，主要问题就出在文科上，美国学生读一小时的内容，国际学生要花上三四小时。学费也是不小的问题，一年4万美金的学费在美国中学中也是前几位的，美国学生有40%能拿到奖学金，有的甚至是全奖，但国际学生获得的比较少。 劳伦斯高中招生考什么？首先是全国统一的SSAT考试，还要托福成绩，要写出有个性的文章，需要推荐信，国际学生也同样需要面试，香港就设有面试点。 中文：成为一门时尚的外语
外语也是美国学生的必修课，以劳伦斯高中为例，学校开设有法语、西班牙语、中文、日语、拉丁语等。7年前秦阳阳刚去任教时，只要教20多人，现在要教80多人，而且现在有两名专职中文教师，还要继续再招。“现在美国中小学都在积极开设中文课，担心的就是请不到合格的中文老师。学生们要学拼音，学听说读写。”秦阳阳的学生们都非常认真，他们看好中国的经济发展，想了解中国的现状，这次来南外学习一周的四名劳伦斯高中学生，都已经学中文两三年了。

标准美国俚语：爱上一个万人迷(图)
2008-03-10 14:15:54
万人迷“万人迷”可真是个让人羡慕不已的字眼，美国俚语(尤其美国黑人俚语)中，“万人迷”可用“mack daddy”或者“mac daddy”来表达，以此形容事业有成、魅力四射，颇有女人缘的男人。
不过“mack daddy”最初的含义可没那么风光。据悉，“Mack daddy”起源于20世纪50年代，因一首颇为流行的黑人歌曲“The great Mac Daddy”而得名。当时，“daddy”曾一度用来表示“皮条客”甚或是“罪犯”的代名词。据词源记载，“mack”是“mackerel(鲭鱼)”的缩写，而“mackerel”在法语中表示“掮客”或“皮条客”。 随着时间的推移，“Mack Daddy”逐渐改头换面，现代意义上的“Daddy”则表示“颇有影响力和号召力的男人”。比如：David Beckham is a Mac Daddy!! My sister will be staring at the television screen every time he appears.(大卫·贝克汉姆简直就是一个万人迷！！每次他一出现，我妹妹就盯着电视屏幕不放)。 -
喝酸奶有益于牙齿健康(图)

研究：喝酸奶有益于牙齿健康
Report: yogurt may keep teeth from falling out转载
Eating yogurt and other foods laden with lactic acid may keep your gums from receding and teeth from falling out, Japanese researchers report.
Eating yogurt and other foods laden with lactic acid may keep your gums from receding and teeth from falling out, Japanese researchers report.
Dr. Yoshihiro Shimazaki and colleagues found that consuming yogurt and lactic acid drinks was significantly associated with better periodontal health."But, milk and cheese were not," Shimazaki said.
Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial condition associated with receding gums and tooth loss. Outside of regular brushing and flossing, effective measures to allay this disease are limited, Shimazaki, of Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, and colleagues note in the Journal of Periodontology.
Previous research identified a lower occurrence of periodontal disease among people who eat high amounts of dairy products, but did not identify which dairy products were most beneficial, the researchers report.
Shimazaki's team assessed the severity of periodontal disease in 942 men and women, aged 40 to 79 years, and their intake of milk, cheese, and lactic acid foods.
They found that people with generalized (more advanced) periodontal disease had a lower intake of lactic acid foods than people with localized (less advanced) periodontal disease.
Compared with individuals reporting no lactic acid food intake, those eating 55 grams or more of yogurt (half an 6-ounce carton) or lactic acid drinks a day had significantly fewer markers of severe periodontal disease. The investigators made allowances for factors such as age, gender, smoking, alcohol intake, frequency of tooth brushing, blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

日本研究人员日前称，吃酸奶等富含乳酸的食物能防止牙龈萎缩和牙齿脱落。喜田岛崎博士及其同事发现，喝酸奶及其它乳酸饮料能显著改善牙周健康。
岛崎博士说：“但牛奶和乳酪没有这种功效。”
牙周病是一种慢性细菌感染性疾病，会引起牙床萎缩和牙齿脱落。日本福冈九州岛大学的岛崎教授及其同事在《牙周病学》期刊中提到，除了勤刷牙和用牙线清洁牙齿外，能够有效缓解这一疾病的方法比较有限。
研究人员在报告中称，此前的研究发现，食用大量乳制品的人患牙周病的几率较低，但未发现哪种乳制品的作用最突出。
岛崎教授领导的研究小组对942名年龄在40岁至79岁之间的男性和女性进行了调查，主要对他们所患牙周炎的严重程度以及摄入的牛奶、乳酪和乳酸类食品量进行了评估。
他们发现，弥漫性重度牙周炎患者所摄入的乳酸类食品量比局限性轻度牙周炎患者少。
与自称从不吃乳酸类食品的人相比，每天摄入酸奶或其它乳酸饮品55克或更多的人有严重牙周病症状的明显较少。研究人员还考虑到了年龄、性别、吸烟、饮酒、刷牙频率、血糖及胆固醇水平等各项因素。

英汉对照：母鸡告诉我们怎样做女人(图)
2008-03-10 14:13:25
做女人难女人与生俱来温驯谦卑，受人保护，但现代社会却迫使她们必须和男人一样勇敢无畏，为此她们必须拼命努力，到头来却感觉不到真正的幸福。怎么才能获得幸福？作者劳伦斯把人类生活与鸡的生活进行类比，这些鸡有着人类才具有的各种感觉和思想。
It seems to me there are two aspects to women.There is the demure and the dauntless.
据我看来女人有两种类型，即矜持端庄型和勇敢无畏型。
Men have loved to dwell, in fiction at least, on the demure maiden whose inevitable reply is: Oh, yes, if you please, kind sir! The demure maiden, the demure spouse, the demure mother -this is still the ideal. A few maidens, mistresses and mothers are demure. A few pretend to be. But the vast majority are not. And they don't pretend to be. We don't expect a girl skilfully driving her car to be demure, we expect her to be dauntless. What good would demure and maidenly Members of Parliament be, inevitably responding: Oh, yes, if you please, kind sir! -Though of course there are masculine members of that kidney. -And a demure telephone girl? Or even a demure stenographer? Demureness, to be sure, is outwardly becoming, it is an outward mark of femininity, like bobbed hair. But it goes with inward dauntlessness. The girl who has got to make her way in life has got to be dauntless, and if she has a pretty, demure manner with it, then luck girl. She kills two birds with two stones.
男人爱恋温驯的女孩子，至少在小说中是如此，因为她总爱回答：噢，是的，亲爱的先生，如果你愿意！矜持端庄的女孩子、妻子、母亲——这依然是理想中的女性。有些女孩子、家庭主妇和母亲是矜持端庄的，有些是故作如此，但大部分都不是，她们也不假装是。我们希望一个女孩子熟练驾驶汽车时不要太矜持端庄，而应是大胆无畏的。如果议会的议员是个温驯淑女，并总是回答：“噢，是的，亲爱的先生，如果你愿意！”——当然尽管也有那种性格的男议员。——如果接线女孩是温驯娴静的，或甚至速记员是温驯娴静的，那会有什么好处呢？温柔谦卑当然在外表上很吸引人，它是女性气质的外部特征，就如同女人剪的短发一样。但外表的矜持端庄与内心的勇敢无畏却是并存的。为生计所打拼的女孩子不得不勇敢无畏，如果她举止又温驯娴淑，那她就是个幸运的女孩。她两方面都很成功。
With the two kinds of femininity go two kinds of confidence: There are the women who are cocksure, and the women who are hensure. A really up-to-date woman is a cocksure woman. She doesn't have a doubt nor a qualm. She is the modern type. Whereas the old-fashioned demure woman was sure as a hen is sure, that is, without knowing anything about it. She went quietly and busily clucking around, laying the eggs and mothering the chickens in a kind of anxious dream that still was full of sureness. But not mental sureness. Her sureness was a physical condition, very soothing, but a condition out of which she could easily be startled or frightened.
存在这两种类型的女性气质的同时也存在着两种类型的自信：自信外露的女人和温驯谦卑的女人。一个真正的当代女性是一个自信干练的女人，她不会疑虑重重、恐惧紧张，她是现代型的。而传统的温驯女人的自信就如同母鸡的自信一样，也就是说，是毫不自知的。她安静而忙碌地四处咯咯叫着，产蛋，抚育小鸡，带着一种仍然充满自信的焦急的梦想。但这自信不是精神上的，而是一种身体状态，非常镇静，但是当脱离这种状态时她会很容易受惊吓。 It is quite amusing to see the two kinds of sureness in chickens. The cockerel is, naturally, cocksure. He crows because he is certain it is day. Then the hen peeps out from under her wing. He marches to the door of the henhouse and pokes out his head assertively: Ah ha! daylight, of course, just as I said! -and he majestically steps down the chicken ladder towards terra firma, knowing that the hens will step cautiously after him, drawn by his confidence. So after him, cautiously, step the hens. He crows again: Ha-ha! here we are! -It is indisputable, and the hens accept it entirely. He marches towards the house. From the house a person ought to appear, scattering corn. Why does the person not appear? The cock will see to it. He is cocksure. He gives a loud crow in the doorway, and the person appears. The hens are suitably impressed but immediately devote all their henny consciousness to the scattered corn, pecking absorbedly, while the cock runs and fusses, cocksure that he is responsible for it all.
在鸡身上看到这两种类型的自信非常有趣。小公鸡自然是极其自信的。他喔喔地叫起来，因为他确信天亮了。然后母鸡躲在自己翅膀底下向外偷看。他走到母鸡的鸡舍门口，自信地探进头去：啊哈！当然就像我说的，天亮了！——然后他威严地从鸡舍的梯子走到地面上，他知道母鸡被他的自信吸引，并将小心翼翼地跟在后面。于是，果真如此，在他后面，跟着的是小心翼翼的母鸡。他又啼叫开了：哈哈！我们来了！——这种自信不容置疑，而母鸡也完全接受。他朝房子走去。应该有人从房子里出来撒些谷物的。为什么这人还没出现呢？公鸡要查看一下。他是自信满满的。他在门口一声高啼，人就出现了。母鸡对此钦佩极了，但很快就把她们所有的母鸡意识投入到撒落的谷物上，专心致志地啄起食来。这时公鸡在一旁不停地走动，相信他有义务对此负责。 So the day goes on. The cock finds a tit-bit, and loudly calls the hens. They scuffle up in henny surety, and gobble the tit-bit. But when they find a juicy morsel for themselves, they devour it in silence, hensure. Unless, of course, there are little chicks, when they most anxiously call the brood. But in her own dim surety, the hen is really much surer than the cock, in a different way. She marches off to lay her egg, she secures obstinately the nest she wants, she lays her egg at last, then steps forth again with prancing confidence, and gives that most assured of all sounds, the hensure cackle of a bird who has laid her egg. The cock, who is never so sure about anything as the hen is about the egg she has laid, immediately starts to cackle like the female of his species. He is pining to be hensure, for hensure is so much surer than cocksure.
如此日复一日。公鸡发现了一点精美的食物，就大声呼唤母鸡。母鸡带着特有的安详自信拖着脚走来，大口大口地吃着食物。但当是她们自己发现了一小块 美食时，就会悄悄地很温驯地吞下去。当然，除非有小鸡在时，她们会很焦急地呼唤小鸡。但是母鸡内敛的温驯却以不同的方式显得比公鸡更具自信。她走过去产蛋，坚持安顿好她想要的巢，终于产下蛋来，然后再神气十足地走上前去发出最自信的声音，那是产下蛋来的充满自信的母鸡的咯咯声。公鸡对任何东西从来没有像母鸡产下蛋时那么自信过，因此他立即开始学他的同类母鸡一样咯咯叫起来。他渴望表现出母鸡一样的自信，因为母鸡的自信比公鸡的要有力得多。Nevertheless, cocksure is boss. When the chicken-hawk appears in the sky, loud are the cockerel's calls of alarm. Then the hens scuffle under the verandah, the cock ruffles his feathers on guard. The hens are numb with fear, they say: Alas, there is no health in us! How wonderful to be a cock so bold! -And they huddle, numbed. But their very numbness is hensurety.
尽管如此，公鸡的自信具有领导风度。当抓小鸡的老鹰出现在天空上时，是公鸡大声啼叫鸣警。然后母鸡笨拙地走到廊檐下，公鸡竖起羽毛，保卫她们。母鸡因为害怕而麻木了，她们喃喃道：“哎呀，我们身体没那么健壮啊！要是成为一只勇敢的公鸡该多了不起啊！——她们浑身麻木，挤成一堆。但她们的麻木正是母鸡的本性。 Just as the cock can cackle, however, as if he had laid the egg, so can the hen bird crow. She can more or less assume his cocksureness. And yet she is never so easy, cocksure, as she used to be when she was hensure. Cocksure, she is cocksure, but uneasy. Hensure, she trembles, but is easy.
母鸡也能喔喔叫的，就如同公鸡也能咯咯叫着像他生了蛋一样。母鸡可以多多少少地装出公鸡的自信。但她表现出公鸡般自信时，却不如温驯谦卑时感到自在。她的确很自信，但不自在。在她瑟瑟发抖时表现出温驯谦卑时，却感觉很舒服。
It seems to me just the same in the vast human farmyard. Only nowadays all the cocks are cackling and pretending to lay eggs, and all the hens are crowing and pretending to call the sun out of bed. If women today are cocksure, men are hensure. Men are timid, tremulous, rather soft and submissive, easy in their very henlike tremulousness. They only want to be spoken to gently. So the women step forth with a good loud cock-a-doodle-do!
我认为在广阔的人类这个农院里，情况亦然。只是如今所有的公鸡都咯咯叫，假装会下蛋，所有母鸡都喔喔啼，假装叫太阳起床。如果说现在的女人自信外露，那男人则温柔顺从。男人胆小发抖，非常温驯，并如母鸡一样瑟瑟发抖时才感到自在。他需要别人轻轻地对他讲话才行。那么女人就会走上前，喔喔地大声啼叫起来。
The tragedy about cocksure women is that they are more cocky, in their assurance, than the cock himself. They never realize that when the cock gives his loud crow in the morning, he listens acutely afterwards, to hear if some other wretch of a cock dare crow defiance, challenge. To the cock, there is always defiance, challenge, danger and death on the clear air; or the possibility thereof.
可悲的是，自信外露的女人在自信时比公鸡本身表现更趾高气扬。她们从未意识到，当公鸡清晨高声啼叫时，他接着是要敏锐地聆听，听听有没有其他讨厌的公鸡胆敢对抗着啼叫来挑衅。对于公鸡，洁净的空气中总是存在着或有可能存在着对抗、挑战、危险和死亡。
But alas, when the hen crows, she listens for no defiance or challenge. When she says cock-a-doodle-do! then it is unanswerable. The cock listens for an answer, alert. But the hen knows she is unanswerable. Cock-a-doodle-do! and there it is, take it or leave it!
哎呀，但当母鸡喔喔叫时，她没有倾听有无对抗还是挑战。当她喔喔啼叫时，是无责任心的。公鸡警惕地倾听一种回应，但母鸡知道她是无责任心的，喔喔喔！我叫就叫了，听不听随便你们！
And it is this that makes the cocksureness of women so dangerous, so devastating. It is really out of scheme, it is not in relation to the rest of things. So we have the tragedy of cocksure women. They find, so often, that instead of having laid an egg, they have laid a vote, or an empty ink-bottle, or some other absolutely unhatchable object, which means nothing to them.
正是这个原因使得女人的自信如此危险，如此具有毁灭性。它真地是超出常规之外，不与外界协调。因此我们发现了自信女人的悲剧。她们经常发现她们产下的不是蛋，而是选票、空墨水瓶或其他完全孵不出东西的玩意儿，所有这些对她们来说毫无价值。 It is the tragedy of the modern woman. She becomes cocksure, she puts all her passion and energy and years of her life into some effort or assertion, without ever listening for the denial which she ought to take into count. She is cocksure, but she is a hen all the time. Frightened of her own henny self, she rushes to mad lengths about votes, or welfare, or sports, or business: she is marvellous, out-manning the man. But alas, it is all fundamentally disconnected. It is all an attitude, and one day the attitude will become a weird cramp, a pain, and then it will collapse. And when it has collapsed, and she looks at the eggs she has laid, votes, or miles of typewriting, years of business efficiency -suddenly, because she is a hen and not a cock, all she has done will turn into pure nothingness to her. Suddenly it all falls out of relation to her basic henny self, and she realizes she has lost her life.
这就是现代女人的悲剧。她如公鸡一般自信，她把她所有的热情、精力和时间投入到某项事业或追求中，而不倾听那些她理应考虑的反对意见。她如公鸡一般自信，但她始终只是一只母鸡。她因为惧怕自己如母鸡一样的身份，就很极端地拼命投入选举、福利事业、体育事业或商业当中去：她相当出色，胜过男人。哎呀，但情况完全乱了套。它完全是一种人生观，某天这种观念将不可思议地成为一种束缚，一种痛苦，然后这种观点会倒塌。当这种观点倒塌时，她瞅瞅她产下的蛋，即选票、或长长的打字稿，多年的公司绩效——突然间，因为她是一只母鸡，而不是公鸡，她所做的一切对她来说都将毫无意义。瞬间这一切与她如母鸡一样的本性毫无关系，她意识到她已失去了自己的生活。
The lovely henny surety, the hensureness which is the real bliss of every female, has been denied her: she had never had it. Having lived her life with such utmost strenuousness and cocksureness, she has missed her life altogether. Nothingness!
那可爱的母鸡般的自信，即作为每个女人的真正幸福的温驯谦卑已抛弃了她：她从来就没有拥有过。尽管她用最大的努力和公鸡般的自信生活，却完全错过了自己真正的生活。一切毫无价值！
现代女人不幸福是因为她们逆自然规律而行事。作者通过详细的描写，得出男人和女人的本质和职责不同，因而相互不可替换的观点。不管大家是否同意这样的观点，但劳伦斯生动有趣的写作手法、缜密高超的说理技巧却是值得回味的。

电影中最易望文生义的英文词组(组图)
2008-03-10 14:11:59
《蜘蛛侠》海报1.dude(老兄，老哥)
容易误解为“花花公子，纨绔子弟”，实际上此词常用来叫男性年轻人，与guy的意思相同，只是guy用的范围更广。《lost》里面Hurly就经常用这个词和别人打招呼。
2.chick(女孩，美眉)
容易误解为“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。例如：I＇m going cruising for chicks. (我要开车载美眉兜风)。
《勇敢的心》海报3.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，少来”的意思。例如：(Man：)You look very beautiful.(你看起来真漂亮。)(Girl：)Get out of here.(少来，别骗人了)。
4.Hey， Give me five(嗨，好啊！)
此短语非常流行，经常在大片中出现，击掌庆贺时用。例如：Hey， dude！ Give me five！(嗨，老兄，好啊)！
《汽车总动员》海报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，但此词是“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，还可以说freak sb. out使某人崩溃。例如：He＇s gonna freak(他快要发脾气了)。
6.Hello(有没有搞错)
并不总是打招呼的意思，有时是“有没有搞错”的意思，要根据上下文来判断。例如：Hello， anybody home， we＇ll be late！(有没有搞错， 我们要迟到了)。
7.gross(真恶心) 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”。

用英语表达浪漫的“风流韵事”(组图)
2008-03-10 14:10:42
画外音：“我们不能再这样下去了，我妻子刚刚继承了一大笔遗产。”
画外音：“芭芭拉，对于我来说你是世界上唯一的女人，当然除了我妻子以外。”外遇可能是每个已婚多年男人的梦想，因为时间久了，审美疲劳了嘛！
说“外遇”，我们通常用的词是affair，指那些“短暂的，浪漫的风流韵事”，说“和谁有外遇”就可以说成是“have an affair with someone”，比如：Mr. John has an affair with his friend’s wife.
和男人有风流韵事，并且从其得到财务支持的，我们通常叫做“情妇”，这个词在英文中常用 mistress 来表示；那要说那些给有夫之妇做情人的“情夫”怎么说？就是cicisbeo。 不管是情夫还是情妇，我们通常都称他们为“第三者”，注意这个“第三者”可不是the third party，这是法律上的“第三方”，英语中的“第三者”是“the other man / woman”，比如：Divorce rate in the city is going up year by year as a result of the other men or women’s intervening in other people’s families 由于第三者插足他人家庭，本市的 离婚率逐年上升。
既然说到了“第三者”，我们就再说一下“原配”，其实“原配”也就是指第一个，所以用 “a man's first wife”、“a woman’s first husband”就可以表示了。“前妻”、“前夫”就可以分别用“ex-wife” 和“ex-husband”来表达。

妇女能顶半边天
节日的由来国际劳动妇女节 (International Working Women's Day) 又称“联合国妇女权益和国际和平日”(U.N. Day for Women's Rights and International Peace)或“三八”妇女节，是全世界劳动妇女团结战斗的光辉节日。在这一天，世界各大洲的妇女，不分国籍、种族、语言、文化、经济和政治的差异，共同关注妇女的人权。近几十年来，联合国的四次全球性会议加强了国际妇女运动，随着国际妇女运动的成长，妇女节取得了全球性的意义。这些进展使国际妇女节成为团结一致、协调努力要求妇女权利和妇女参与政治、经济和社会生活的日子。
国际劳动妇女节 ——1909年3月8日，美国芝加哥的劳动妇女和美国其他地区的纺织工业及服装工业的女工，为了要求增加工资、实行八小时工作制和获得选举权，举行了规模空前的大罢工和示威游行。这一斗争得到了美国和世界广大劳动妇女的热烈响应和支持。1910年8月，在丹麦哥本哈根召开了第二届国际社会主义妇女大会，出席会议的有17个国家的妇女代表。德国和国际工人运动的活动家、国际妇女书记处书记克拉拉·蔡特金，倡议把3月8日作为国际劳动妇女节。新中国成立后，中央人民政府政务院于1949年12月23日规定“三八”国际劳动妇女节为中国的劳动妇女节日，妇女放半天假。1977年，第32届联合国大会决定把3月8日作为“联合国妇女权益日和国际和平日”。
International Women's Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.
International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage. The idea of an International Women's Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Following is a brief chronology of the most important events:
1909
In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Woman's Day was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913.
1910
The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Women's Day, international in character, to honour the movement for women's rights and to assist in achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.
1911
As a result of the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year, International Women's Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded the right to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.
Less than a week later, on 25 March, the tragic Triangle Fire in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working girls, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This event had a significant impact on labour legislation in the United States, and the working conditions leading up to the disaster were invoked during subsequent observances of International Women's Day.
1913-1914
As part of the peace movement brewing on the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sisters.
1917
With 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike for "bread and peace". Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike, but the women went on anyway. The rest is history: Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere.
Since those early years, International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women's movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand women's rights and participation in the political and economic process. Increasingly, International Women's Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of women's rights.
The Role of the United NationsFew causes promoted by the United Nations have generated more intense and widespread support than the campaign to promote and protect the equal rights of women. The Charter of the United Nations, signed in San Francisco in 1945, was the first international agreement to proclaim gender equality as a fundamental human right. Since then, the Organization has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.
Over the years, United Nations action for the advancement of women has taken four clear directions: promotion of legal measures; mobilization of public opinion and international action; training and research, including the compilation of gender desegregated statistics; and direct assistance to disadvantaged groups. Today a central organizing principle of the work of the United Nations is that no enduring solution to society's most threatening social, economic and political problems can be found without the full participation, and the full empowerment, of the world's women.
