抓住你生命中的那颗星
2008-10-29 09:04:47
Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.
Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made. Have faith in your judgment. Catch the star that twinkles in your heart and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.
Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination. Find the star that twinkles in your heart? For you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.
当生命中的那颗星在你内心闪耀的时候，要学会把握它，永远相信只要自己持之以恒，就一定能够实现自己心中的梦想。
尽管通往梦想的道路上总有坎坷，你需要记住的是，你的命运就隐藏在那困难背后。学会接受这样的事实：不是每一个人都赞同你的选择。你要坚定自己的判断走下去。捕捉住那颗在你内心闪耀的星吧，它将引领你抵达自己的命运之路。沿那条路走下去，你就会发现那属于自己的美丽日出。
为自己的成绩自豪，因为它们是你通往梦想的阶梯。要知道你自己也会犯错误，但是可别因此而气馁。正确评价自己的能力，是它们令你与众不同。生活里最丰厚的礼物不是买来的，而是通过艰苦的努力和决心获得的。找到在你内心闪耀的那颗星吧??虽然你独自一人，但也有能力实现你最辉煌的梦想。对即得的怀抱希望并抓住那颗掌控你命运的星吧

朱自清－匆匆(图)
2008-10-29 09:02:51
朱自清Swallows may have gone, but there is a time of return; willow trees may have died back, but there is a time of regreening; peach blossoms may have fallen, but they will bloom again. Now, you the wise, tell me, why should our days leave us, never to return? - If they had been stolen by someone, who could it be? Where could he hide them? If they had made the escape themselves, then where could they stay at the moment?
燕子去了，有再来的时候；杨柳枯了，有再青的时候；桃花谢了，有再开的时候。但是，聪明的，你告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢？——是有人偷了他们罢：那是谁？又藏在何处呢？是他们自己逃走了：现在又到了哪里呢？
I don't know how many days I have been given to spend, but I do feel my hands are getting empty. Taking stock silently, I find that more than eight thousand days have already slid away from me. Like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean, my days are dripping into the stream of time, soundless, traceless. Already sweat is starting on my forehead, and tears welling up in my eyes.
我不知道他们给了我多少日子；但我的手确乎是渐渐空虚了。在默默里算着，八千多日子已经从我手中溜去；象针尖上一滴水滴在大海里，我的日子滴在时间的流里，没有声音也没有影子。我不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸了。
Those that have gone have gone for good, those to come keep coming; yet in between, how swift is the shift, in such a rush? When I get up in the morning, the slanting sun marks its presence in my small room in two or three oblongs. The sun has feet, look, he is treading on, lightly and furtively; and I am caught, blankly, in his revolution. Thus--the day flows away through the sink when I wash my hands, wears off in the bowl when I eat my meal, and passes away before my day-dreaming gaze as reflect in silence. I can feel his haste now, so I reach out my hands to hold him back, but he keeps flowing past my withholding hands. In the evening, as I lie in bed, he strides over my body, glides past my feet, in his agile way. The moment I open my eyes and meet the sun again, one whole day has gone. I bury my face in my hands and heave a sigh. But the new day begins to flash past in the sigh.
去的尽管去了，来的尽管来着，去来的中间，又怎样的匆匆呢？早上我起来的时候，小屋里射进两三方斜斜的太阳。太阳他有脚啊，轻轻悄悄地挪移了；我也茫茫然跟着旋转。于是——洗手的时候，日子从水盆里过去；吃饭的时候，日子从饭碗里过去；默默时，便从凝然的双眼前过去。我觉察他去的匆匆了，伸出手遮挽时，他又从遮挽着的手边过去，天黑时，我躺在床上，他便伶伶俐俐地从我身边垮过，从我脚边飞去了。等我睁开眼和太阳再见，这算又溜走了一日。我掩着面叹息。但是新来的日子的影儿又开始在叹息里闪过了。
What can I do, in this bustling world, with my days flying in their escape? Nothing but to hesitate, to rush. What have I been doing in that eight-thousand-day rush, apart from hesitating? Those bygone days have been dispersed as smoke by a light wind, or evaporated as mist by the morning sun. What traces have I left behind me? Have I ever left behind any gossamer traces at all? I have come to the world, stark naked; am I to go back, in a blink, in the same stark nakedness? It is not fair though: why should I have made such a trip for nothing!
在逃去如飞的日子里，在千门万户的世界里的我能做些什么呢？只有徘徊罢了，只有匆匆罢了；在八千多日的匆匆里，除徘徊外，又剩些什么呢？过去的日子如轻烟却被微风吹散了，如薄雾，被初阳蒸融了；我留着些什么痕迹呢？我何曾留着象游丝样的痕迹呢？我赤裸裸来到这世界，转眼间也将赤裸裸地回去罢？但不能平的，为什么偏要白白走这一遭啊？
You the wise, tell me, why should our days leave us, never to return?
你聪明的，告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢？

冰心－雨雪时候的心情(图)
2008-10-29 09:01:22
冰心Stars on a Snowy Night
The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero, but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots, yet I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and ennui.
It had been snowing all night, not a single star in sight. My roommate and I, each wrapped in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting away.
She exclaimed pointing to something afar, “Look, Venus in rising!” I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain path. I beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, “It’s Jupiter over there!”
More and more lights came into sight as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a star-studded sky. With the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars.
Completely lost in a make-believe world, I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the ground. With the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when I woke up from my dreams in the dead of night.
Thus I found consolation even on a lonely snowy night !
寒暑表降到冰点下十八度的时候，我们也是在廊下睡觉。每夜最熟识的就是天上的星辰了。也不过是点点闪烁的光明，而相看惯了，偶然不见，也有些想望与无聊。
连夜雨雪，一点星光都看不见。荷和我拥衾对坐，在廊子的两角，遥遥谈话。
荷指着说：“你看维纳斯(Venus)升起来了！”我抬头望时，却是山路转折处的路灯。我怡然一笑，也指着对山的一星灯火说：“那边是丘比特(Jupiter)呢！”
愈指愈多。松林中射来零乱的风灯，都成了满天星宿。真的，雪花隙里，看不出来天空和森林的界限，将繁灯当作繁星，简直是抵得过。
一念至诚的将假作真，灯光似乎都从地上飘起。这幻成的星光，都不移动，不必半夜梦醒时，再去追寻他们的位置。
于是雨雪寂寞之夜，也有了慰安了!
注释：
《雨雪时候的星辰》是冰心的早期抒情散文。文章赞美自然，想象精细，文笔清新，充满诗情画意。
① 题目《雨雪时候的星辰》翻译为Stars on a Snowy Night。“雨雪”作“下雪”解，“雨”在此是动词，读音为yù。
② “无聊” 翻译为ennui,是英语常用文学语言，意即a feeling of boredom caused by a lack of excitement or activity。
③ “一点星光都看不见” 译为not a single star in sight,是句中独立主格， 和not a single star being in sight同。又译文用s押头韵，night和sight压韵脚，有音韵美。
④ “荷和我……” 译为My roommate and I...，其中用My roommate(同寝之友)代替专门名词He(荷)，以免外国读者把He读解为男性第三人称的代词。
⑤ “荷指着说……” 译为She said pointing her finger at...，因英语to point one's finger at有“指责”的含义。
⑥ “我抬头望时” 不宜逐字死译为I raised my head to take a look 。译为I liked up即可。
⑦ “山路转折处” 译为round the bend in a mountain path。注意bend后面跟介词in，属习惯用法。
“将繁灯当作繁星，简直是抵得过” 译为the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars，其中短语to pass for 的意思是“被看作”，“被当作”等。

史上最狂妄的演讲(图)
2008-10-29 08:56:15
Larry EllisonGraduates 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 ood 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 '2000. 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.)
演讲人 Larry. Ellison是Oracle的CEO。 Larry. Ellison 在耶鲁大学2000届毕业典礼上发表了以下世人看来最为狂妄、不受欢迎但又是现实真实状况的演讲。
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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)

“洗脑大学”你敢不敢上(图)
2008-10-29 08:53:06
A group of artists, writers and intellectuals has launched a new "university" in London, designed to help those too tied up with work to appreciate the finer things in life, like art, books and travel.
一群艺术家、作家和知识分子在伦敦创建了一所新的“大学”，旨在帮助那些埋头于工作的人们欣赏生活中更加美好的事物，比如艺术、书籍和旅游等。
The School of Life, operating out of a small shop in the arty district of Bloomsbury describes itself as a "chemist for the mind" that plans to dispense "cultural solutions to everyday ailments". It hopes to inspire those who have got out of the habit of reading decent books, cannot keep conversation flowing at dinner parties, or need to expand their holiday horizons.
这所生活学校开在布鲁姆斯博里艺术区的一间小作坊，它把自己形容为“头脑的药剂师”，打算给“日常疾病开出文化处方”。该学校希望能启发那些丢掉了读好书的习惯、不能在晚宴上侃侃而谈，或者需要利用假期扩大视野的人。
The philosopher Alain de Botton, author of How Proust Can Change Your Life, and Sophie Howarth, a former curator at the Tate Modern Gallery, are among the faculty members.
《拥抱似水年华》的作者、哲人阿兰•德•波顿和泰特现代美术馆的前馆长索菲•豪沃思都是这个学校的教职人员。The founders believe that people with too little time to spare need after-hours instruction in how to use what little they have to live a more fulfilled existence. "Perhaps you have a burning question for a paleontologist. Perhaps you're considering a career change and want to talk first-hand to a photographer or landscape designer. The School of Life has a large freelance faculty who are willing to meet with you for an hour of chat in exchange for a small fee,” the website explains, listing 50 experts.
学校创建者认为，那些没有多少空闲时间的人需要额外的指导，学会用他们有限的时间过上更加充实的生活。“也许你正有一个十分想知道的问题要询问古生物学家，也许你正考虑换个工作、想直接跟某位摄影师或景观设计师谈谈。生活学校有很多自由职业的教职员，愿意跟你面对面谈上一个小时，只收取一点点费用。”网站如是说明，并列出了50位专家。
Among courses being offered later this year are instruction in life, love, work, family and politics. A typical course, in love, will explore why relationships are so complicated and why attraction ebbs and flows. "We draw on ideas from philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature and art. We discover what the likes of Plato, Shakespeare, Tolstoy and Freud had to say about compassion, empathy and self-love," the instructors promise.
今年晚些时候开设的课程将包括关于生活、爱情、工作、家庭及政治方面的指导。标准的爱情课程将会探究情感关系为什么如此复杂，以及相互之间的吸引为什么起起落落。讲师们承诺，“我们将从哲学、心理分析、文学和艺术中选取内容，我们将了解像柏拉图、莎士比亚、托尔斯泰和弗洛伊德这样的人关于同情、共鸣及自爱的认知。”
Courses run for six weeks and cost 195 pounds.
这些课程为期六周，学费195英镑。

四个和表面意思不同的趣味动物用语
2008-10-24 16:11:45
1. Goose bumps
每当我们觉得身上发冷或者发麻的时候，皮肤上就会起一层鸡皮疙瘩。英语里鸡皮疙瘩叫： goose bumps。Goose就是鹅，bumps就是疙瘩。至于为什么中国人说鸡皮疙瘩，而美国人却说鹅皮疙瘩就不得而知了。
例句：
I know that most snakes are harmless, but I can't help it--every time I see a snake, even in a zoo, I get goose bumps all over！
我知道大多数的蛇是不咬人的，但是每当我看到蛇，我全身就会起鸡皮疙瘩，哪怕是在动物园里看到蛇也是如此，真是没办法。
当某些事物使我们突然感到热情洋溢，或产生敬仰心情的时候，我们也会起鸡皮疙瘩。下面说话的人在告诉他的
他是多么喜欢女歌星 Madonna。Madonna不但令许多美国人陶醉，她还演过几部电影。但是，她的歌喉和演技并不是吸引广大观众的主要因素，她之所以在一些美国人心目中特别红主要还靠她的姿色和大胆卖弄风情的表演。
Do you know, I have seen every movie with Madonna in it at least five times. Just seeing her picture in a magazine gives me goose bumps--she's such a beautiful woman！
你知道，Madonna演的电影每部我都至少看五遍。即便在杂志里看到她的照片都会让我起鸡皮疙瘩。她真是太漂亮了。
2 sitting duck
Duck就是鸭子。我们不容易打到一只正在飞的鸭子，不过一只浮在水面上的鸭子却是一个很容易击中的目标。Sitting duck 从字面上解释就是：一只坐着的鸭子。当然，sitting duck 是一个俗语，它的意思是：很容易上当受害的人。
例句：
Sure. My friend Joe is a sitting duck for any phony offer that promises to make him rich in a hurry. Anytime a fast-talking salesman comes along with a promise to make Joe a millionaire overnight, Joe will hand over his money. And, of course, he'll never see it again.
我的
乔伊对任何说是能让他很快发财的骗局都相信。只要那些滔滔不绝的推销员向他保证他们能够一夜间使他成为百万富翁，不管是谁，他都会把钱交给他们。当然，这些钱他是再也见不到了。
大家一定都很熟悉二次世界大战时发生的珍珠港事件。那是在1941年十二月七号凌晨，日本人在没有宣战的情况下突然偷袭珍珠港，美国太平洋舰队遭到毁灭性的打击。第二天，美国向日本宣战，从而爆发了太平洋战争。下面这个例句就是在讲珍珠港事件：
It was early on a Sunday morning and the Americans had no warning. So the battleships and destroyers were sitting ducks when the Japanese bombers swept in from the sea.
那是一个星期天的清晨，美国人根本没有得到警告。所以当日本轰炸机从海上飞来的时候，那些战舰和驱逐舰只能束手待毙。
3 chicken feed
鸡是一种很小的家禽，它的胃当然也很小，吃不了太多东西。Feed 在这儿的意思就是喂鸡的饲料。Chicken feed 作为俗语，它的意思就是：很小数量的钱，少得像喂鸡的饲料一样。
例句：
I turned down the job at the hamburger restaurant. They only pay chicken feed--not even enough money to pay my rent.
我没有接受那个汉堡包店的工作。他们付的工资实在太少，还不够我付房租呢。
美国社会发展变化得非常快。有的人说现在比过去强，但是也有不少人存在今非昔比的想法。正因为如此，有的人经常在谈话时流露出怀旧的心情。下面这个例句就是一个人在把现在的物价和五十年以前的物价做对比。
My grandfather says that 50 years ago a salary of $5,000 a year meant you could live very comfortably. But these days $5,000 is just chicken feed; you'd have a tough time just surviving on it.
我祖父说，五十年前，一年五千美元的工资意味着你可以生活的非常舒服。可是，现在五千美元年薪真是微不足道，难以维持生活。
4. turkey farm
Turkey是火鸡，farm就是农场。但是，turkey farm合在一起作为俗语却和农场毫无关系。那么，什么是turkey farm 呢？在每个政府机构或者私营公司里总会有一些工作能力低或者是不愿勤恳工作的人；但是，由于种种原因，领导又没有办法解雇这些人。为了使工作不受影响，这些机构的领导往往把这些人调到一个地方，就像打入冷宫一样。实际上也就是把他们养在那里，而这种地方就叫作 turkey farm。
例句：
The man is so incompetent we'd like to fire him. But he has good political connections so we sent him to our turkey farm out in Denver where he can't cause much damage.
那个人实在无能，我们很想解雇他。但是他和一些政界人物关系很好，所以我们就把他送到丹佛那个机构里去，那样他就不能再起多大破坏作用了。
从这句话里我们可以看出，在美国靠关系来办事也不是罕见的事。但是，和有些国家不同的是，美国的法律很严格，加上各机构都具有很大的独立性，因此这种靠关系来为私利服务的事也只能在一定程度上可行，超越了规章制度和法律所允许的范围那就危险了。一旦被揭露，当事人就有被控告和判罪的可能。我们从每天报纸上就经常能看到这种事。
例句：
There is a secretary in my office who tries to do as little as possible. I have warned her several times. If she continues to behave that way, one day I am going to send her to the turkey farm.
我办公室里的一个秘书总是设法干得越少越好。我已经警告她好几回了。要是她继续这样下去的话，总有一天我要把她送到那个全是废物的部门去。人们可能会觉得奇怪，为什么像这样的秘书还不解雇他。一般来说，美国的私营公司和企业要解雇工人或雇员还比较容易，因为工作不出成果就直接影响公司的利润。但是，美国政府部门如果因为一个雇员工作不好而要解雇他，这里牵涉的手续是非常复杂的。这也是保障雇员权利的一部份。但是正因为如此，这些工作效率低的人也就感到很泰然，因为他们知道只要不过份，领导是不会把他怎么样的。 -
“家庭妇男”怎么说(图)
2008-10-17 08:40:39
家庭妇男你知道丈夫的含义吗？——丈夫、丈夫，一丈之内乃夫也！你知道英文husband是怎么来的吗？——husband=house+band 房屋栓牢！(band的含义就是Something that constrains or binds morally or legally约束：在道义上或法律上受到限制或约束的事物。比如说the bands of marriage and family婚姻和家庭的约束)这当然有玩笑的成分，不过也表明了丈夫和家庭的密切联系。我们都知道housewife是“家庭妇女”的意思，那么，你知道“家庭妇男”用英语该怎么说吗？
“家庭妇男”的说法很简单，就是由house房子和husband丈夫组成的，即house-husband。说“家庭妇男”多多少少都带点贬低色彩，而“全职爸爸”则是一个比较中性的说法，指没有负担家庭经济责任的父亲，在现实中，他们生活重心以料理家务、照顾子女或自我休闲为主。A house-husband is a man who stays at home and doesn't go to work, while his wife goes to work and earns money. Usually a man becomes a house-husband in order to look after children.
Sociologists have found the full-time househusband emerges in three main situations.
Firstly, if the wife is ambitious, well-paid and has good job prospects, while her husband is paid poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the female to become the main income earner for the household. 第一：妻子有个好工作并且挣得比丈夫多。
Secondly, if the wife is tired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her husband may forfeit his job for her sake. 第二：妻子乐意主外，而丈夫有成人之美。
Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this option as it allows him more time to take care of the family. 第三：丈夫可以在家办公，从而有条件多花心思在家里。
Housemaker是house-wife和house-husband的统称。当强调在家照看孩子职责的时候，我们也可以称house-wife为stay-at-home mom，称house-husband为stay-at-home dad。还有一种"domestic engineer"的委婉说法，不过这种说法多少对居家者有种讽刺挖苦的味道，所以一定要慎用。与之类似的"housekeeper"这个词也要小心使用，因为它同样用于挖苦居家者。有关house-husband的新闻：
In a traditional Chinese family, women are expected to do the housekeeping and leave the "other business" to men. However, the emergence of the full-time "househusband" is changing traditional family dynamics.
A survey in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen shows that 22 percent, 73 percent, 34 percent and 32 percent of white-collar male workers, aged between 28 and 33, would be prepared to do the housekeeping if the conditions were right.
有关house-husband的对话：
A: Will you go back to work after you have the baby?
B: Oh yeah!
A: Who'll look after the baby when you're at work then?
B: My husband--he's going to quit his job and become a house husband. I earn more than him, so it makes sense really. And he loves kids, so he'll enjoy it.
Some families with full-time househusbands prefer others not to know about their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husband with "no prospects" or wife who is "too strong", but it's getting more common. 有些男人一开始可能还觉得当“全职爸爸”不好意思，不过现在这种情况越来越普遍了。Many of the young men believe a successful man will make a good father. 成功的男人也能做个成功的父亲，你是不是也坚信这点呢？

一封写给英语系女生的情书--不知谁懂
2008-10-17 08:37:37
Dear wang litte girl:
亲爱的王小姐：
（翻译这句，我可费了不少心思，中文直接用”亲爱的”未免显得肉中有肉，麻中有麻，还是老外开放，一般
也可以用dear，这样自己的贼心可以得到满足而又不唐突。“姐”想译成sister吧，怕她理解成小妹，一开始就叫人小妹，我好意思开口，人家还不一定好意思应呢，把小姐译成little girl吧，又怕她理解成小丫头，这样“wang little girl”变成了王小丫，上天作证，我可没有喜欢这个漂亮的主持人，其实主要知道喜欢了也白搭，就象明知是垃圾股又何必再投资进去呢？最后采用考试时常用的方法-----丢硬币决定还是译成litte girl。）
From see you one eye, I shit love you.
（本想写”自从见你第一眼，我便对你魂牵梦绕”，可魂牵梦绕我实在译不出，只好写成”我便爱上你”，”便”译成shit是邻居小孩告诉我的，他说VCD里老有人说：”shit”，这个shit就是”便”。）
your eyes close,I die;your eyes open ,I come back olive.Your eyes close and open again and again ,I die again and again. 你的眼睛闭上，我就死了，你的眼睛睁开，我又活过来了，你眼睛眨呀眨，我就死去活来。
Maybe you do not know me ,no matter.one see clock emotion is pop.
“也许你还不认识我，没有关系，一见钟情很流行。”
（译一见钟情颇费了一番功夫，一、见、情都会，但钟字怎么译呢，一抬头，见闹钟上写着呢：clock，pop这个词是从电视中学来的，最流行的音乐唱片就是top of thepops，呵呵，处处留心皆学问呀。)
I think I should introduce myself to you.
我想应该介绍一下自己。
(事实证明我的英文启蒙老师很有远见，她说要是哪天你到了国外，要找外国MM套磁，就要用这句。不过，不知她有没有想到我现在是用这句话来唬中国MM。)
I call Li old big. toyear 25.
我叫李老大，今年25. （今天是today，那么今年是toyear，没有错的吧。）
My home four mouth people:papa,mama,I and DD.
我家有四口人：爸爸、妈妈、我和弟弟。
（还好，幸亏在网上混了这么多年，知道GG，JJ，MM，DD怎么写的。）
I beat letter very fast,because I am a computer high hand.Ievenact as black guest.
我打字很快，因为我是电脑高手，我甚至还当过黑客呢。
I do early fu*ck every day,so that I can have strong body to protect you.
我每天都做早操，这样我会有强壮的身体来保护你。
(“操”译成fu*ck也是邻居小孩告诉我的，他还说VCD里就是这么译的，人家外国电影不会用错的。)
Please come to eat and sleep with me, or I will cut myhair to be a monk , and find a place where many monkslive in to over mylife.
请嫁给我吧，否则我将削发为僧，找个庙来了此一生。
（实在想不起嫁字怎么译了，好在我脑袋灵光，嫁过来不就是和我吃住在一起吗？祸不单行，庙字我又忘记怎么译了，不过这也难不倒我，好多和尚住的地方不就是庙吗？为自己的聪明鼓掌！至于了此一生，打游戏时最后不是gameover吧，over当然就是结束啦。）
your old big
你的老大
（为了表示亲切，署名时我省去了姓，不过你的老大听起来有点象黑社会的感觉，算了，不管它啦。） -
