《大话西游》搞笑台词

　　周星驰的电影《大话西游》曾以它无厘头的搞笑与癫狂的内涵表达，在众多观众的心中建立起了无法磨灭的“星”派印象，并掀起了一股“恶搞哲学”的热潮。看完这部电影的观众在捧腹大笑之后都大呼过瘾，而电影中的很多台词更被人们奉为经典，以至于在很多其他影视作品中都出现过类似的台词。那么今天我们就来重温一下经典吧！

　　1 你想要啊？你想要就说吧，你不说我怎么知道你想要呢？

　　You want? Speak up if you want! Why do you keep silent?

　　2 你又在吓我。

　　You scare me again.

　　3 莫非是一家黑店？

　　Is this a slaughter house?

　　4 长夜漫漫，无心睡眠。

　　It's a long night, no mood to sleep.

　　5 如果不能跟我喜欢的人在一起，就算让我做玉皇大帝我也不会开心。

　　If I can't be with the one who I love, I won't be happy even if I were Heaven Emperor.

　　6 要不要我把心掏出来给你看看啊？

　　Should I show you my heart?

　　7 可惜快乐永远都是短暂的，换来的只是无穷无尽的痛苦和长叹。

　　But happiness is always a flash of time. We only have endless pain.　8 有一天当你发觉你爱上一个让你讨厌的人，这段感情才是最要命的。

　　When you discover that you've fallen in love with a man you hate, this affair is really hurting you.

　　9 可我怎会爱上一个我讨厌的人呢？请你给我一个理由好不好？拜托！

　　But how can I fall in love with a person I hate? Please give me a reason, please!

　　10 爱一个人需要理由吗？不需要吗？需要吗？

　　We don't need any reason to love a person. Don't we? Do we?

　　11 你有多少兄弟姐妹？你父母尚在吗？你说句话啊！我只是想在临死之前多交一个朋友而已。

　　How many brothers and sisters do you have? Are your parents alive? Speak up! I just want to make a new friend when I'm going to die.

　　12 所以说做妖就像做人一样，要有仁慈的心，有了仁慈的心，就不再是妖，是人妖。

　　Being a devil is the same as being a human. We should be kind. If we are kind, we are not a devil, we are a hybrid.

　　13 爱一个人是痛苦的。

　　Love means pain.

　　14 这样的话只是得到我的肉体，并不能得到我的灵魂。

　　You can just get my body instead of my spirit.

　　15 曾经有一段真挚的爱情摆在我的面前，我却没有珍惜，直到失去才追悔莫及。人世间最大的痛苦莫过于此。如果上天再给我一次机会的话，我一定会对那女孩说三个字：我爱你。如果非要在这段爱情前加个期限的话，我希望是一万年。

　　I have had my best love before, but I didn't treasure her. When I lost her, I fell regretful. It is the most painful matter in this world. If God can give me another chance, I will say 3 words to her--I love you. If you have to give a time limit to this love, I hope it is 10 thousand years.

　Many Olympic movies have been made, trying to capture those universal themes of excellence, commitment, and personal sacrifice. The best of the bunch is Chariots of Fire, a fascinating tale of two completely different British runners who compete for gold at the 1924 Olympics. Here are the 11 best movie quotes about the essence of Olympian ideals.

　　"It doesn't matter tomorrow if they come in first or fiftieth. Those guys have earned the right to walk into that stadium and wave their nation's flag. That's the single greatest honor an athlete can ever have. That's what the Olympics are all about." Cool Runnings (1993) – Irwin Blitzer (John Candy)

　　"Well, as they say in the Olympics, it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts."Sleuth (1972) – Milo Tindle (Michael Caine)

　　"Where does the power come from to see the race to its end? From within."Chariots of Fire (1981) – Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson)

　　"Once in a generation an athlete pits himself against such overwhelming odds that even the most jaded spectator finds himself cheering breathlessly."Iron Will (1994) – Harry Kingsley (Kevin Spacey)

　　"If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter."Grease (1978) – Principal McGee (Eve Arden)

　　"The high jump is a masochist's event - it always ends in failure."Personal Best (1982) – Terry Tingloff (Scott Glenn)

　　"Fear is not what's important, it's how you deal with it. It would be like asking a marathon runner if they feel pain. It's not a matter of whether you feel it, it's how you manage it."War Photographer (2001) – James Nachtwey (himself)

　　"The Olympics, the NBA, the NFL, all filled up with children who didn't have fathers. You may be a flawed character, but you're building hers."Jackpot (2001) – Lester (Garrett Morris)

　　"I don't want to win unless I know I've done my best."Without Limits (1998) – Steve Prefontaine (Billy Crudup)

　　 “A gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without one, you'll never be enough with one.”

　　Cool Runnings (1993) - Irwin Blitzer (John Candy)　

   许多奥运题材电影都力求捕捉诸如卓越表现、奉献以及个人牺牲等共同的主题。最精彩的一部是《火的战车》，它生动地讲述了两位风格迥异的英国短跑运动员在1924年的奥运会上争夺金牌的故事。下面是10句能够最好地阐释奥运精神的电影对白。

　　《凉快的跑道》(1993)—艾尔文•布利泽(约翰•凯蒂)“他们明天得第一名还是第五十名都不重要。那些小伙子已经赢得了走进体育场并挥舞自己国家国旗的权利。那才是一名运动员能得到的唯一的最高荣耀。那就是奥运会的全部意义。”

　　《侦察》(1972)— 米洛•坦德尔(迈克尔•凯恩)“就像他们说的，奥运会重在参与，而不在于输赢。”

　　《火的战车》(1981)—埃里克•里黛尔(伊恩•查尔森)“将比赛看完的力量来自哪里？来自内心。”

　　《决战冰河》(1994)—哈里•金斯利 (凯文•斯派西)“每个年代都会有这么一次，某位运动员如此奋力地与强敌竞争以至于连最疲惫的观众都在为他喝彩助威。”

　　《火爆浪子》(1978)—魔力神童(伊芙•阿登)“如果你做不了运动员，就做一个体育运动的支持者。”

　　《私人最佳》(1982)—特里•廷洛夫.(斯科特•格伦)“跳高运动是受虐者的项目——它总是以失败告终。”

　　《战地摄影师》(2001)—詹姆斯•纳希微“最重要的不是恐惧，而是你怎样面对恐惧。就像你去问一个马拉松运动员他们是否觉得痛苦。这不是你是否感觉到的问题，而是你要如何对付它的问题。”

　　《背心而驰》(2001)—莱斯特(加勒特•莫里斯)“奥运会，NBA，橄榄球职业联赛，充满了那些没有父亲的孩子们的世界。或许你的个性有些不足之处，但是你正在培养她们的个性。”

　　《永无止境》(1998)—史蒂夫•普雷方丹(比利•克鲁德普)“除非我知道我已经做到最好了，否则我是不会想着赢的。”

　　《凉快的跑道》(1993)—艾尔文•布利泽(约翰•凯蒂)“金牌是一个好东西。但是如果你在没得金牌时就很不满足，那么就算你得了块金牌，你也永远不会满足的。”

　Consider...YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion...

　　试想一下……你！一个空前绝后的你，不论是以往还是将来都不会有一个跟你一模一样的人。你在历史上和宇宙中都是独一无二的。哇！想想吧，你是万里挑一、亿里挑一、兆里挑一的。

　　You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!

　　在无穷无尽的宇宙中，你是举世无双的！！！

　　You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.

　　你是了不起的！你是卓越的！没错，就是你。你已经是了不起的，是卓越的，你还可以更卓越更了不起。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，而美丽的老人却是艺术的杰作。但你不会因为年龄的渐长就自然而然地变得“美丽”。

　　Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.

　　Paint a Masterpiece.

　　真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以只听天由命, 慢慢地学，有时候或许会很痛苦。又或许你可以选择加速自己的成长，故意地挥霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家。

　　画出一幅杰作吧！

　　God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.

　　上帝给了鸟儿食物，但他没有将食物扔到它们的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做决定的还是你自己。

　　Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God,"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

　　从前，有个孩子马上就要诞生了。因此有一天他问上帝：“听说明天你就送我去人间了，但是，我这么弱小和无助，我在那儿怎么生活呢？”　God replied,"Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

　　上帝答道：“在众多的天使中，我特别为你挑了一位。她会守候你、无微不至地照顾你。”

　　But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go."But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."

　　小孩还是拿不准自己是否真的想去。“但是在天堂，我除了唱唱笑笑外，什么也不做。这就足以让我感到幸福了。”

　　"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."

　　“你的天使每天会为你唱歌，为你微笑。你会感受她的爱，并且因此而幸福。”

　　"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me,"the child continued,"if I don't know the language that men talk?"

　　“如果我不懂人类的语言，他们对我说话时，我怎么听得懂呢？”孩子继续问道。

　　God patted him on the head and said,"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

　　上帝轻轻地拍了一下孩子的脑袋说：“你的天使会对你说最最美丽、最最动听的话语，而这些都是你从未听过的。她会不厌其烦地教你说话。”

　　"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

　　“如果我想与你说话怎么办？”

　　But God had an answer for that question too."Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

　　上帝胸有成竹地回答：“你的天使会将你的双手合拢，教你如何祈祷。”

　　"I've heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?"

　　“听说尘世有很多坏蛋，谁来保护我呢？”

　　"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life!"

　　“即使冒着生命危险，你的天使也会保护你的。”

　　"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore,"the child continued warily.

　　“但是见不到你，我会难过的。”小孩小心翼翼说道。

　　God smiled on the young one."Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."

　　听到这儿，上帝对着小孩笑了。“尽管我会一直陪伴你左右，你的天使仍会提起我，教你重返天堂之路。”

　　At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly,"Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

　　此时，天堂一片宁静，凡间的声音已可听到，小孩明白自己得赶紧上路了。 他又轻声问了最后一个问题，“哦，上帝，假如我现在就出发，请你告诉我，我的天使叫什么名字。”

　　God touched the child on the shoulder and answered,"Your angel's name is not hard to remember. You will simply call her Mommy."　

　　上帝把手放在小孩的肩上，答道：“你的天使的名字很容易记住， 你就叫她——妈妈。”

实用俚语

　　有些词汇美国人每天都要讲，而且还可能要讲上无数遍。他们在办公室里用，在饭馆里，商店里以及其他任何场合都用。有的人认为它们听起来很老调，很乏味，但今天我们偏偏就要讲其中的两个常用词组。

　　1 No problem.

　　No problem这个习惯用语大约是三十年前开始出现的，但是现在世界各地的人都普遍地使用这个习惯用语。Problem就是有问题，有麻烦。No problem 就是：没有问题。No problem这个说法可以用在不同场合。首先，要是有人向你提出一个要求，你认为你能够，也愿意帮忙的话，你就可以说：No problem。意思就是：行，没问题。

　　比如说，你妈妈让你在天黑以前把院子打扫干净，你就可以回答说：No problem。

　　例句：

　　You want your car back by six o'clock, right? Hey, no problem! It'll be all fixed up and ready to go, just as good as new.

　　你六点前要来拿车，是吗？嗨，没问题。到时候，一切都会修好，就像 新车一样，就等着你开走。

　　当然，在现实生活中，你的车子可能过了三天还没有修好。美国一位研究语言的专家指出，当你听到对方说no problem的时候，有的情况下这意味着你的问题才刚刚开始。

　　No problem也可以用在别的场合。要是你把院子打扫得很干净，你妈妈说：谢谢你，这时候你也能用no problem。在这里，no problem就是不要客气的意思。

　　我们再来举一个例子看看no problem用做不要客气的时候是怎么用的。一个办公室里的电脑坏了。有一位工作人员打电话把电脑维修员请来看看有什么毛病。以下是他们的对话：

　　--There's no problem here except you forgot to switch on the machine.

　　--Oh, we're so sorry, but thank you for coming.

　　--No problem.大家要注意，第一句话里的no problem是真正的没问题，就是说这个电脑没有毛病。而第二个no problem 是不用客气的意思。2 Have a nice day!

　　Have a nice day从字面上来解释，它的意思就是：有一个好的日子。实际上，have a nice day就是祝你今天过的快乐的意思。这句话往往用于人们分手的时候，因此它也是再见的意思。这句话是三十年前那些开大卡车的司机通过无线电互相进行对话时说的。而现在，have a nice day已经成为每个人说的话，不管在哪里，商店、办公室、马路上，人们在向对方很友好地告别的时候就会说：have a nice day。

　　大多数美国人对别人都很友好，即便互相不认识，他们也会对别人打个招呼。电梯里相互说个早上好，分手时说一声have a nice day。

　　下面是一个人开车时超速被警察扣住。警察虽然给了他一张罚款单，最后却还是很友好地向他告别：

　　Sorry, Sir, you were going 80 miles an hour so I have to give you this ticket. Send your 100 Dollars to court within 10 days or you'll be in trouble. Now, have a nice day!

　　对不起，先生，你刚才的车速是一小时八十英里，所以我不得不给你一张罚款单。你在十天内寄一百美元去法庭，否则你会有麻烦的。好，祝你今天愉快。

　　美国高速公路的车速一般是每小时五十英里。被罚款一百美元不是一个小数字。这一天要过的愉快恐怕不容易。但是，警察最后说一句have a nice day是一种礼貌，并非虚伪。

　　下面这个例子是一个人在对他的邻居讲话。这个人一早到门口去拿报纸，看见邻居的太太拿了公事包去上班。这个人对这位太太说：

　　Hi, Joan! You're leaving so early for your office? Well, I guess it's the only way to beat the traffic. Anyhow, have a nice day!

　　嗨，琼！你这么早就去上班啦？是啊，我想这是避免堵车的唯一办法。祝你今天愉快!

飞人刘翔

　　今天，13亿中国人都在关注刘翔,期待着这个奥运卫冕冠军能带给世界惊喜。然而，“飞人”却在北京奥运会田径110米栏预赛中意外因伤退出比赛。一时间全中国、乃至世界都为这个消息感到震惊。做对下面的田径类英语测试题，一起为刘翔加油！

　　1: Fill the gap: Liu Xiang is most famous as a _______.

　　swimmer

　　sprinter

　　high jumper

　　hurdler

　　答案是： hurdler。刘翔曾荣获2004年奥运110米跨栏金牌。

　　2: Which distance is not run in the Olympics?

　　50m

　　100m

　　200m

　　400m

　　答案是：50m。奥林匹克运动会不设50米短跑比赛。

　　3: Fill in the gap: A relay team may be disqualified for_________.

　　overtaking another competitor

　　wearing improper clothes

　　losing the baton

　　tripping over

　　答案是：losing the baton。如果丢掉接力棒，就会失去比赛资格。 overtaking another competitor：力争超过竞赛对手是天经地义的，绝对不错。wearing improper clothes：接力赛没有特别的着装规定。tripping over：跌倒没关系，爬起来继续跑就是了。　4: To be good at the long jump athletes needs to combine speed,_______ and agility in an attempt to jump as far as possible.

　　strong

　　strength

常用洗涤标志

常用洗涤标志

　　They have appeared on clothes labels for four decades, each one chosen by international

　　experts for its simplicity and clarity.

　　这些标志已经在服装标签上出现了40年，每一个标志都因其简单易懂被国际上的专家们精心挑选出来。

　　Yet for most people, washing instructions might as well be written in Martian.

　　然而，英国近日的一份调查显示，大多数人认为，这些衣物洗涤标志就像 外星人的语言一样难懂。

　　According to a new poll, nine in 10 people are unable to decipher common symbols used on

　　clothes labels. Even those who have mastered the difference between a wool and a synthetics

　　wash admit being baffled by the bewildering array of boxes, circles and crosses used to give

　　advice about drying and bleaching.

　　这项调查显示，90%的人不明白服装标签上这些常见的洗涤标志的含义，即便是那些熟悉羊毛和晴纶制品不同洗涤方式的人也承认搞不清楚用于提示干洗和漂白的这些几何图形。

　　The findings come from a poll of 2,000 people carried out by YouGov for Morphy Richards. A

　　third of people surveyed said that they recognised none of the six symbols shown, while the

　　only symbol recognised by more than half of people was the iron with a single dot. Around 70

　　per cent knew it meant "iron on a low heat". Just 10 per cent sign knew the sign for "do not

　　dry clean", while only 12 per cent were familiar with "drip dry only

教你感冒痊愈方法

　　People have tried hundreds of ways to cure the common cold, mostly without success. Fortunately, today we have more effective ways to relieve symptoms, remedies that have actually been proven effective by scientists in labs. But why wait until you need the remedies?Here are tried-and-true tips to keep you healthy.

　　人们尝试过几百种治疗普通感冒的方法，但大多不成功。幸运的是，如今我们有了减轻症状更为有效的办法及科学家们通过实验证明有效的药物疗法。但何必等到需用药物治疗的那一天呢？下面是一些经过实践检验切实可行的健康良方。

　　1 Don't Pick Your Nose. 不要抠鼻子。

　　Keep your paws out of your nose. Don't rub your eyes, either. Cold virus germs, which can

　　live for several hours on your hands, enter your body through your nose and eyes. "Washing your hands often during cold season and keeping your fingers away from your eyes and nose are the best ways to avoid catching a cold," says Dr.James Hubbard. And when someone sneezes, think of it as a cloud of poisonous smoke. Get away from it and hold your breath so those droplets of clod virus don't get inside you.

　　不要用手指挖鼻孔，也不要揉眼睛。感冒病菌可在你的手上存活数小时，它们通过鼻子和眼睛进入你的身体。“预防感冒的最佳办法是冷天常洗手，让你的手指远离你的眼睛和鼻子，”詹姆士·哈伯德医生说。有人打喷嚏时，视之为一团有毒的烟雾，屏住呼吸赶紧离开，以免感冒 病毒进入你的体内。

　　If that doesn't work and you still catch a cold, here are some simple ways to relieve symptoms and get well faster.

　　如果这招不奏效，你还是感冒了，下面就介绍一些可以缓解症状、迅速康复的简单方法。

　　2 Get Enough Sleep. 保证充足的睡眠。

　　"Sleep certainly affects the immune system," says Richard Shane, Ph.D., a sleep specialist.In experiments, scientists have compared blood samples taken from healthy people after a good night's sleep. The tests showed people who didn't sleep at all had lower immunity, says Dr.Shane. When you sleep, your body produces human growth hormone (HgH), which not only builds muscle, but also stimulates your bone marrow, where immune cells are created.

　　“睡眠对免疫系统肯定有影响，”研究睡眠的专家理查德·谢恩博士说。科学家做过这样的实验：他们从健康人身上提取两组血样进行比较，一组为睡眠充足后的血样，另一组为睡眠不足后的血样。结果显示不睡觉的人身体免疫力低下，谢恩博士说。当你睡觉的时候，身体会产生一种人体生长激素(HgH)，它不仅促进肌肉生长，还刺激你的骨髓，而免疫细胞正是在这里产生的。

　　3 Eat a Big Breakfast.饱食一顿早餐。

　　A study in the Netherlands found that people who ate a big breakfast had higher antiviral

　　cells by 450 percent compared with people who ate very little or not at all. So eat something

　　that is high in fiber and full of vitamins with 1-percent milk, eat an orange (toss those peels) and grape jelly and maybe a yogurt sommthie if you're still hungry. Wash it all down with one or two cups of green tea. Laboratory studies have identified a compound in green tea that might keep viruses from multiplying.

　　荷兰的一项研究发现，饱食一顿早餐的人与那些早餐吃得很少或根本不吃的人相比，其天然抗病毒的细胞提高了450%。因此要吃一些富含纤维和维生素的食物、喝低脂牛奶，假如仍感到饿的话，吃一个橙子(去皮)、一个葡萄果冻，也许再来一杯 酸奶果汁。然后喝1至2杯绿茶把所有食物吞下去。实验室研究证实绿茶含有一种可抑制病毒繁殖的化合物。

　　4 Drinking Orange Juice at the First Sign of a Cold.一有感冒迹象就喝橙汁。Research at Arizona State University suggests that getting lots of vitamin C may lessen the

　　time you have a cold by one to two days. You can get vitamin C naturally through these excellent food sources: oranges, berries, green and red peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach and kiwo-fruit, which actually has more vitamin C in it than an orange.

　　亚利桑那州立大学的研究显示，服用大量维生素C可以使患感冒的时间缩短1到2天。你可以从这些极好的食物中摄取天然的维生素C：柑橘、浆果、青椒、红辣椒、西红柿、甘蓝、菠菜和猕猴桃，猕猴桃其实比柑橘含有更丰富的维生素C。

　　5 Go for a Bike Ride. 骑自行车锻炼。

　　According to the American College of Sports Medicine, exercising when you have a cold does

　　not make the cold worse. Exercise has been shown to boost the immune system.

　　根据美国运动医学学院的研究，患感冒时进行锻炼不会使病情加重。事实证明：锻炼可以增强身体的免疫系统。

　　6 Play a Game. 玩游戏。

　　Playing video games can be healthy. That is, exposing yourself to short periods of video games can stimulate your immune system, says Jos. A. Bosch, Ph.D. Long-term stress, like being bullied at school or worrying about the upcoming exams, can actually lower your immunity, according to Dr.Bosch.

　　玩 电子游戏也许对健康有利！这里的意思是，让自己短时间玩电子游戏可以刺激你的免疫系统，约书亚·A·博施博士说。在他看来，长时间的压力，如在学校被人欺负或者担心即将到来的考试等，确实会降低你的免疫力。

　　7 Suck Eggs. 吮吸生鸡蛋。

　　Just kidding. Sort of. Eggs are rich in the mineral zinc, which plays an important role in keeping your immunity strong by generating white blood cells. So eat more eggs. Some doctors believe zinc gluconate fights colds by stopping the cold virus from attaching to your cells.开个玩笑，说得夸张一点。鸡蛋里富含矿物质锌，而锌能够生成白细胞，因而在让你保持强大免疫力方面发挥着重要作用，因此要多吃鸡蛋。有些医生认为葡萄糖酸锌可以阻止病毒进入你的身体，从而预防了感冒。

　　8 Drink Lots of Fluids. 多喝流质。

　　Fluids wash the virus out of your body. How to tell if you're drinking enough? Your pee will be clear. If it's yellowish, drink more. (Water expecially.)

　　流质可以冲走你体内的毒素。如何判断是否喝得够量？看你的小便是否清澈。如果小便略带黄色，表明你喝得不够，再多喝一点。(特别是水。)

　　9 Eat Chicken Soup. 喝鸡汤。

　　A common cure used by many western grandmothers for centuries actually works. In 2000, Stephen Rennard, M.D. studied chicken soup for its medicinal properties and found that it has a mild anti-inflammatory effect and does make sick people feel better.

　　这个老祖母们沿用了几个世纪的普通感冒药方确实有效。2000年，医学博士斯蒂芬·雷纳德研究了鸡汤的药用特性，发现它具有适度的消炎作用，的确能让病人感觉舒服一些。

如火的七月，我们的情绪疯狂燃烧。奥运会开幕在即，你想好了如何盛情款待外国友人了吗？做好东道主，先要了解中西文化差异。读完以下的内容，尽情show your hospitality 吧！

　　To much 我的热情过了火？

　　You kept finishing all the food on your plate and you found your plate refilled and many more dishes following. "They were really hospitable, if anything too hospitable …"

　　Lisa 的误解归因于中西方文化的碰撞与冲突。做客的时候，让我们看看西方人对中国人还有可能在哪些方面产生误解。

　　"I must say I don't think I'll ever get used to the eating habits out here. You know, the way people put things on your plate..." 外国人不习惯中国人热情地往自己碗里夹菜。

　　"And isn't it odd how people here can eat their dessert and then return to their main courses? How can they bear it?" 西餐有其特定的饮食次序。如果和外国人一起吃西餐，我们最好遵循他们的用餐习惯。千万不要吃完甜食再吃主菜哦。

　　"Chinese never seem hungry when they come round to my place. Whenever I ask callers if they'd like a bite to eat they always say no." 大多数外国人都是实在人。当他们问你要不要吃点什么的时候，如果你谢绝了，他们会尊重你的决定，真的不给你东西吃哦。所以说，饿了就喊出来吧。

　　"I'm often taken aback by the way visitors come round to my flat and seem to feel free to take the place over, putting on the telly, pulling down books from my shelves, even peering at letters I've left lying around on the desk." 虽说宾至如归，但外国人还是忌讳你在做客的时候东逛西逛，甚至偷窥他们的隐私的。

　　To little 如此待遇谁的错？

　　Can you imagine how many dishes I had? Only one--a stew with meat and vegetables. I was very much disappointed at British hospitality.

　　这个中国学生简直是怨气冲天哦。她去英国朋友家做客到底发生了什么？让我们看看下面的文章吧。

　　The time was autumn of 1987, after I had settled down at Warwick University for my MA course. I was invited to give a talk to a professional women's organisation about my first impressions of Britain. After the talk, quite a few participants gave me their addresses and invited me to visit their families. They were really very friendly and helpful. The first visit left a lasting memory because it was my first time to have dinner in an English home. my hostess picked me up at the university and showed me around the city till sunset. I was very excited about the visit, but at the same time I was wondering who would cook the meal. Her husband? In China, if I am going to have some visitors to dinner, it usually takes me at least three hours to prepare the eight courses. As soon as we arrived at the house, the lady asked me to sit at the table and said everything was in the oven and ready to serve. She told me she had put food in the oven before she went to the university and after two hours of touring the city, dinner was ready. Can you imagine how many dishes I had? Only one- a stew with meat and vegetables. The meat was overdone and too hard to eat; green vegetables were no longer green. Compared with Chinese food, they were tasteless. I was very much disappointed at their hospitality. However, after I had stayed in Britain for a year and visited many different families, I became more used to the British way of showing hospitality. In Britain, hospitality is not measured by how many dishes are provided as in China. It is shown by giving you freedom to choose whatever you really want. They never press you. They never put food on your plate but just ask you to help yourself. If you, as a guest, are shy or modest, waiting for the food to be put on your plate, you will remain half-starved. Maybe that is why I lost nearly 20 pounds after a year in Britain!

　　文中的“我”去英国人家做客，结果吃饭的时候只有一道菜。太少了吧，这也算待客之道？其实，不是外国人不热情，而是他们表达热情的方式和中国人有所不同。

　　外国人喜欢热情地表示 "The dishes are quite good here; these dishes are quite famous"，而不会谦虚地说食物不怎么好吃。

　　外国人乐于让客人们自主选择想吃的菜，而不是替客人夹菜。They think to help yourself is the best way. As long as the guests are happy with their meal, the host will be satisfied. Foreigners give guests the chance to choose what is their favourite.

　　一句话，外国人的表达及处世方式更为直接，而中国人则更显圆滑。Foreigners never pretend to be modest. They just tell others what they think. If a Chinese person is faced with the same situation, maybe he or she would say, "I'm sorry. The restaurant is a little bit small and the dishes are just so so, but I hope you'll enjoy yourself."Avoiding misunderstandings 消除误解好快活！

　　One sometimes finds the other person's behaviour odd, or even distasteful. If we try to find out why the two sides behave as they do, we can have a better understanding of each other and communicate more successfully.

　　如果我们避开误解的雷区，具有不同文化的两个人就能做到“沟通无极限” ！我们还是拿Lisa 和Wang Ming做例子。让我们重新设计一下双方的对话。怎么样，如此交流，是不是和谐了许多呢？

　　Wang: Hi! Lisa, welcome! Come in, please.

　　Lisa: Thanks for your invitation. It's a lovely room and very warm in here.

　　Wang: Thank you. Please sit and have a cup of tea. It's quite cold outside today. How long did it take you to come here? Was it difficult to find my place? Did you find the map I drew useful?

　　Lisa: It was very useful. It only took 20 minutes to get here. I enjoyed the walk. Winter in Beijing is very beautiful.

　　Wang: Lisa, dinner is ready. Please sit here facing the door. According to the Chinese custom, this is the seat for the most distinguished guest.

　　Lisa: Thank you. I feel most honoured. Wow! So many dishes - eight! They look delicious.

　　Wang: Thank you. I prepared the dishes myself. I hope you like them. Please help yourself.

　　Lisa: They're delicious. The Chinese food I tried in the States was not the same as this.

　　Wang: I'm glad you like them. But leave some room for the other eight hot dishes.

　　Lisa: Really? Another eight! It is not a dinner, it's a feast!

　　Wang: You know, the figure “eight” is a lucky number in Chinese. Two sets of eight dishes for distinguished guests.

　　Lisa: I feel honoured indeed. You're too kind.

　　Cultural shock 文化交际门道多！

　　you will have a better understanding of cross-cultural communication and be in a better position to avoid similar pitfalls. 避免文化冲撞，轻松跨文化交际。

　　Situation1:

　　You are eating--or have been offered--some food which you have never tried before. What would you say?

　　What's this?

　　Is this sweet or salty?

　　What are the materials?

　　What's this 听起来非常得生硬、不礼貌。最好先说出一些赞美之词，然后再提出你的问题。例如：This is delicious--what is it? (if you have just tasted it) 或者 That looks interesting--what is it ? (if you have not tasted it yet)。

　　说Is this sweet or salty?不算错，但不是很好，最好说Is this sweet or savoury? Savoury is a general word used to describe main course dishes like meat, and vegetables as well as others like cheese and crackers (salty biscuits). A cocktail party may offer savouries (small portions of slightly salty foods) as well as drinks and sweets. Note that the most common word for the sweet food at the end of a Western meal is dessert, but it may also be called sweet or pudding.

　　What are the materials? 中materials 的用词不太好，最好用ingredients替代。

　　Situation2:

　　You are offered some food you don't really like. What would you say?

　　No thanks, I don't like it.

　　No thanks, I don't want any.

　　有时候过度得坦率会引起交流的不快，所以你最好表示你已经吃饱了。

　　Situation3:

　　In a Western meal, you're offered a second helping but you have already had enough. What would you say ?

　　No, thanks. I'm full.

　　如果是和家人或者亲密的朋友用餐，你当然可以这么说。但如果是正式场合，你的表达最好更加委婉一些。例如：That was delicious but I've already had plenty, thanks.

讲英语难, 吵架更难. 虽说人在国外总是想尽办法以和为贵, 但要跟人家吵架怎么办?
很多人一生气, 所有的英文都忘光了, 平常英文就说不出口, 更何况是吵架, 所以满脑子浮现的不是 Fxxx 就是 Sxxx 这样是很不好的. 我还听过有一个人很绝, 英文骂不过人家就用中文骂, 反正对方听得懂听不懂都无关紧要, 重要的是让他知道你很凶, 而且你正在骂他就行了. 那么现在还是让我们来看看一些比较文雅的骂人以及吵架的方式.

1. I'm so fed up with your BS. Cut the crap.　　我受够了你的废话, 少说废话吧.
美女 (美国的女人) 是不喜欢说 shit 这个不雅的字的, 所以她们就说 shoot, 或是BS(=Bull shit) 来表示她们还是很有气质的. "Cut your crap." 是当你听到对方废话连篇, 讲个不停时, 你就可以说, "Cut the crap." 相当于中文里的废话少话。

2. Hey! wise up!　　放聪明点好吗?
当别人作了什么愚蠢的事时, 你可以说, "Don't be stupid" 或是 "Don't be silly."但是这是非常不礼貌的说法. 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.　　要嘛你就去做, 不然就给我闭嘴.
有些人就是出那张嘴, 只会出意见, 此时就可以说, Put up or shut up. 要注意的是,Put up 字典上是查不到"自己去做" 的意思, 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序, 有人明明不懂却喜欢在一旁指挥你, 这时候你就可以说, Put up or shut up.
有时为了要加强 shut up 的语气, 老美会把它说成, shut the f**k up. 这句话常在二人火气很大时的对话中可以听到, 例如电影 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 f**k up.
这句话也让我想到一句成语, walk the walk, talk the talk, 也就是说到就要作到,有点像是中文里知行要合一的意思, 或是只说, walk the talk 也可以.

4. You eat with that mouth?　　你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗?
别人对你说脏话, 你就回敬他这一句, 言下之意, 就是你的嘴那么脏, 你还用这张嘴吃饭.还有一种说法, "You kiss your Momma with that mouth?" 就是说你也是用这脏嘴亲你妈妈的吗? 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 原指谷仓. 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." 这就意谓着跟我宣战.

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.
还有一句话也很好玩, 叫 "Who's side are you on?" 这就是在快要打架时, 你问人家说,你到底是站在哪一边的? 

歌曲《青花瓷》的英文译文

　　素胚勾勒出青花，毛峰浓转淡

　　All the unglazed porcelain indigo shading into green

　　瓶身描绘的牡丹，如你初妆

　　A peony newly protrayed as you're fresh make-up

　　冉冉檀香透过窗，心事我了然

　　Slow-rising incense floats through the screen, taking along my thoughts to you

　　宣纸上走笔至此各一半

　　The roaming brush learns on my thinking,leavingbehind a half done painting

　　釉色渲漆仕女图，韵味被私藏

　　In the enamoled painting if maid figures, feminity is concealed to the purpose

　　而你嫣然的一笑如含苞待放

　　Your smile flecting and sweet, is like a bud ready to burst

　　你的美一缕飘散，去到了我去不了的地方

　　Your charm wafts away, to the place that I can not trace

　　色白花青的锦鲤跃然起碗底

　　White-bellied, blue carps are to leap out of the bowl bottoms

　　临摹宋体落款时却惦记着你

　　Copying the Song typeface, I inscribe my name but think about yours

　　你隐藏在窑烧里千年的秘密

　　Your secrt, deep inside the kiln for thousands

　　极细腻犹如绣花针落地

　　It's like a needle so delicate dropping on the ground through quietness.

　　窗外芭蕉惹骤雨，门环惹铜绿

　　The out door plantain trees allures a sudden rain, the copper knocker invited some green

　　而我路过那江南小镇惹了你

　　Never though I'd brush past you in such a pretty scene, amid splash-ink paints of Jiangnan

　　在泼墨山水画里,你从墨色深处被隐去

　　Hills and water, your receding figure blended well with the picture

　　天青色等烟雨而我去等你

　　The grayish blue sky and I'll wait for you

　　炊烟袅袅升起,隔江千万里

　　The curls of cooking smoke are seen from across the river

　　在瓶底书汉隶,仿前朝的飘逸

　　On the porcelain base the offical scrīpts of Han Dynasty borrowing the elegance of the ancient calligraphy

　　就当我为遇见你伏笔

　　I anticipate the chance back to our frist glance.
