揭秘史上最有魔力的一句英文
13259119599 发布于 2008-11-17 10:53:05
In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.”
最近在我执教的一个成人班级里,我干了一件“不可饶恕的”事情。
I gave the class homework!
我居然给班上的学生布置了一份家庭作业!
The assignment was to “go to someone you love within the next week and tell them you love them.
任务是“下周之内要走到你所爱的人面前,告诉他们你爱他。
It has to be someone you have never said those words to before
此人必须是一位此前你从未对之说过此话的对象,
or at least haven''t shared those words with for a long time.”
或至少很久没有与他们交流过这些爱意盎然的话语了。”
Now that doesn t sound like a very tough assignment, until you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35
听起来这不像是一份苛刻的任务,直到你意识到这个班里多数男生已年逾35岁。
and were raised in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho.”
何况在他们成长的那个年代,他们受到的是这样的灌输:流露情感没有“阳刚之气”。
Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done.
人们不会轻易流露情感和哭泣(老天也不允!)。
So this was a very threatening assignment for some.
因此对某些人来说,这是一项令人生畏的任务。
At the beginning of our next class,
第二次上课一开始,
I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them.
我就问:当你告诉别人你爱他/她时,结果怎样?有没有人愿意讲一讲?
I fully expected one of the women to volunteer6, as was usually the case,
我满心指望像平常一样,某位女士能自告奋勇,
but on this evening one of the men raised his hand.
但是这天晚上,一位男士举起了手。
He appeared quite moved and a bit shaken.
他看上去很受感动的样子,还有一点颤抖。
As he unfolded out of his chair(all 6 2" of him),
当他从座椅上直起身来时(他身高6英尺2英寸),
he began by saying, Dennis, I was quite angry with you last week when you gave us this assignment.
他这样说道:“丹尼斯,上周你给我们布置任务时,我很生你的气。
I didn`t feel that I had anyone to say those words to, and besides,
我认为我没有什么人需要我说那些话,而且,
who were you to tell me to do something that personal8?
你是谁?凭什么让我们去干这种涉及隐私的事?
“But as I began driving home my conscience started talking to me.
“但我驱车回家时,我的良知开始与我对话。
It was telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say I love you to.
它告诉我,我确实知道需要向谁说‘我爱你'这句话。
You see, five years ago, my father and I had a vicious disagreement and really never resolved it since that time.
“你瞧,5年前,我与父亲发生了激烈的争执,而且从此再也没有消除隔阂。
We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.
我们互相回避,除非绝对必须出席圣诞节聚会或其他的家庭聚会。
But even then, we hardly spoke to each other.
但甚至在那些场合,我们彼此几乎也不说一句话。
“So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.
“因此,上周二到家时,我确信自己做得不对,打算告诉父亲我爱他。
“It’s weird, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.
“这事儿有点怪怪的,但就是这个决定似乎搬走了一块压在我胸口的重石。
“When I got home, I rushed into the house to tell my wife what I was going to do. She was already in bed, but I woke her up anyway. When I told her, she didn’t just get out of bed, she catapulted out and hugged my, and for the first time in our married life she saw me cry. We stayed up half the night drinking coffee and talking. It was great!
到家的时候,我冲进屋里,想告诉妻子我的打算。当时她已经上床睡了,但我无论如何还是叫醒了她。我如此这般告诉她,她不单是起了床,简直就是跳起来拥抱我,婚后第一次她目睹了我哭泣的样子。那一夜我们品着咖啡说着话一直聊到半夜。这感觉真棒!
“The next morning I was up bright and early. I was so excited I could hardly sleep. I got to the office early and accomplished more in two hours than I had the whole day before.
“第二天一大清早我就起了床。我激动得睡不着觉,提前到办公室上班,两个小时之内就干完了比以前干一整天还要多的活。
“At 9:00 I called my dad to see if could come over after work. When he answered the phone, I just said, ‘Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you.’ My dad responded with a grumpy, ‘Now what?’ I assured him it wouldn’t take long, so he finally agreed.
“在九点的时候我打电话给父亲问问能不能下班后去看他,当他接电话的时候,我只是说:‘老爸,今晚上下班后我能到你哪儿去吗?我有事跟你说。’父亲不耐烦的应答:‘什么事?’我向他保证花不了多长时间,最终他同意了。
“At 5:30, I was at my parents’ house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would answer the door. I was afraid if Mom answered that I would chicken out and tell her instead. But as luck would have it, Dad did answer the door.
“五点半,我就来到父母家摁响了门铃。我暗自祷告老爸会应声开门。害怕如果应声开门的是母亲,我会因胆怯而对她说出那几个字。终归我的运气好,老爸应声来到门口。
“I didn’t waste any time – I took one step in the door and said, ‘Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you.’
“我抓紧时间———我一脚跨进门槛说:‘老爸,我来就是为了特地告诉你一声我爱你。’
“It was as if a transformation came over my dad. Before my eyes his face softened, the wrinkles seemed to disappear and he began to cry. He reached out and hugged me and said, ‘I love you too, son, but I’ve never been able to say it.’
“听了这话,老爸似乎前后判若两人。只见他脸变得柔和起来,连皱纹似乎也消失了,他泣不成声。他伸出手拥抱我说:‘儿子,我也爱你,但这话以前我从来没能说出口。’
“It was such a precious moment I didn’t want to move. Mom walked by with tears in her eyes. I just waved and blew her a kiss. Dad and I hugged for a moment longer and then I left. I hadn’t felt that great in a long time.
“这一刻如此宝贵以至于我不想挪动半步。妈妈双眼含泪走过来,我只挥了挥手,给了她一个飞吻。我和父亲又相拥片刻,然后我离开了。许久以来,我都没有过那么棒的感觉了。
“But that’s not even my point. Two days after that visit, my dad, who had heart problems, but didn’t tell me, had an attack and ended up in the hospital, unconscious. I don’t know if he'll make it.
“但这并不是我说这些的目的。那次上门之后过了两天,我的父亲———他患有心脏病,但没有告诉我———突发心肌梗塞,结果被送往医院,昏迷不醒。我不知他是否能挺过去。
“So my message to all of you in this is: Don’t wait to do the things you know need to be done. What if I had waited to tell my dad – maybe I will never get the chance again! Take the time to do what you need to do and do it now!”
“所以我要忠告全班同学的是:如果你知道有些事情需要做的话,千万不要等。要是我等到以后再对父亲说‘我爱你’那句话会怎么样呢———也许我永远没有机会了!抓紧时间去干你需要干的事情,现在就行动!” -

[BBC] Halloween Films 文化:万圣节电影

Which film would you like to see on the spookiest day of the year?What's Keeping You up at Night? 什么让你睡不着觉呢?
Well, it's that time of the year again; witches, ghosts, wizards and skeletons are supposed to come out in full force. Yes, Halloween – 31st October, the spookiest day of the year is almost here.
There are so many things we can do to enjoy this supernatural day - sweets, fancy dress and of course watching scary films.
It's the perfect time for family and friends to watch horror films on the TV in the dark and maybe seek refuge behind the sofa!
We're spoilt for choice; there are literally thousands of films to choose from. One of the most famous is 1970s release Carrie which may fit the bill perfectly. It's a tale of a girl being bullied at school by young women who live to regret it.
If it's goriness you want, then The Night of the Living Dead and Evil Dead will provide more zombie slaying and blood splattering than one person can possibly manage.
For Hitchcock fans out there, Halloween is the perfect time to watch two of his best-known movies from the 1960s, Psycho and The Birds. Both have aged incredibly well and still can keep the viewers on the edge of their seats with their spine-chilling effects.
However, not everyone wants to be frightened on Halloween night. Monsters Inc. is an animation film, set in a land where monsters exist and the quirky characters are sure to bring a smile to the little ones in the family.
Meanwhile, if you want to stay up all night, film series such as The Saw, Nightmare on Elm Street and maybe Harry Potter are sure to keep you glued to the box for hours.
So turn off the lights, sit back and enjoy the movies that you have chosen, whether it is revolting, nauseating or spooky.
But remember, don't have nightmares!

Barack Obama's Victory Speech: Change Has Come To America
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.

各月名称都咋来的(组图)
13259119599 发布于 2008-09-04 13:43:11

公历一年有12个月,但不少人并不知道12 个月的英语名称的来历。公历起源于古罗马历法。罗马的英语原来只有10 个月,古罗马皇帝决定增加两个月放在年尾,后来朱里斯*凯撒大帝把这两个月移到年初,成为1月.2月,原来的1月.2月便成了3月.4月,依次类推。这就是今天世界沿用的公历。

January——1月
在罗马传说中,有一位名叫雅努斯的守护神,生有先后两副脸,一副回顾过去,一副要眺望未来。人们认为选择他的名字作为除旧迎新的第一个月月名,很有意义。英语
January,便是由这位守护神的拉丁文名字January演变而来的。

February——2月
每年2 月初,罗马人民都要杀牲饮酒,欢庆菲勃卢姆节。这一天,人们常用一种牛、草制成的名叫Februa的鞭子,抽打不育的妇女,以求怀孕生子。这一天,人们还要忏悔自己过去一年的罪过,洗刷自己的灵魂,求得神明的饶恕,使自己成为一个贞洁的人。英语2月February,便是由拉丁文Februar-ius(即菲勃卢姆节)演变而来。

March-----3月
3月,原是罗马旧历法的1 月,新年的开始。凯撒大帝改革历法后,原来的1月变成3月,但罗马人仍然把3 月看做是一年的开始。另外,按照传统习惯,3月是每年出征远战的季节。为了纪念战神玛尔斯,人们便把这位战神的拉丁名字作为3月的月名。英语3月March,便是由这位战神的名字演变而来的。

April——4月
罗马的4月,正是大地回春.鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文4月April便由拉丁文April(即开花的日子)演变而来。

May——5月
罗马神话中的女神玛雅,专门司管春天和生命。为了纪念这位女神,罗马人便用她的名字——拉丁文Maius命名5月,英文5月May便由这位女神的名字演变而来。

June——6月
罗马神话中的裘诺,是众神之王,又是司管生育和保护妇女的神。古罗马对她十分崇
敬,便把6月奉献给她,以她的名字——拉丁文Junius来命名6 月。英语6月June便由这位女神的名字演变而来。也有学者认为,Junius可能是个代拉丁家族中一个显赫贵族的姓氏。

July——7月
罗马统治者朱里斯*凯撒大帝被刺死后,著名的罗马将军马克*按东尼建议将凯撒大帝诞生的7月,用凯撒的名字——拉丁文Julius(即朱里斯)命名之。这一建议得到了元老院的通过。英语7月July由此演变而来。

August——8月
朱里斯*凯撒死后,由他的甥孙屋大维续任罗马皇帝。为了和凯撒齐名,他也想用自己的名字来命名一个月份。他的生日在9月,但他选定8月。因为他登基后,罗马元老院在8 月授予他Augustus(奥古斯都)的尊号。于是,他决定用这个尊号来命名8月。原来8月比7月少一天,为了和凯撒平起平坐,他又决定从2月中抽出一天加在8月上。从此,2月便少了一天。英语8月August便由这位皇帝的拉丁语尊号演变而来。

September——9月
老历法的7月,正是凯撒大帝改革历法后的9月,拉丁文Septem是“7”月的意思。虽然历法改革了,但人们仍袭用旧名称来称呼9月。英语9月September,便由此演变而来。

October——10月
英语10月,来自拉丁文Octo,即“8”的意思。它和上面讲的9月一样,历法改了,称呼仍然沿用未变。

November——11月
罗马皇帝奥古斯都和凯撒都有了自己名字命名的月份,罗马市民和元老院要求当时的罗马皇帝梯比里乌斯用其名命名11月。但梯比里乌斯没有同意,他明智地对大家说,如果罗马每个皇帝都用自己的名字来命名月份,那么出现了第13个皇帝怎么办?于是,11月仍然保留着旧称Novem,即拉丁文“9”的意思。英语11月November便由此演变而来。

December——12月
罗马皇帝琉西乌斯要把一年中最后一个月用他情妇的Amagonius的名字来命名,但遭但元老院的反对。于是,12月仍然沿用旧名Decem,即拉丁文“10”的意思。英语12月December,便由此演变而来。

女人必看十大英文影片(组图)
catherine128 发布于 2008-09-25 18:45:35
1《乱世佳人》课程:坚强
文学名著改编,得到很多女性读者的喜爱。而影片则同该书一样出色,曾荣获第12届奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳女主角、最佳女配角、最佳改编剧本、最佳艺术指导、最佳剪接等七项大奖,这些奖项的任何一个都足以引起人们的观看欲望。
克拉克-盖博和费雯-丽在片中演对手戏,就算你不在乎这些导演技巧、艺术指导什么的,光是这两个大明星的表演和耳熟能祥的经典配乐就能够使这近4个小时的影片变得不那么冗长。郝思嘉的坚强,永远留在观众的心中。
女人必看十大英文影片2《钢琴课》(钢琴别恋) 课程:沟通
获第46届戛纳电影节金棕榈大奖,第66届奥斯卡最佳女主角、女配角,最佳剧本奖。
影片导演简-坎皮恩(campionjane)也是女性,用女性思维和感受去拍一部女性题材影片,应该更符合女性观众口味。影片给人印象最深刻的就是主演霍利-亨特(hunterholly)饰演的哑女艾达,只靠动作和表情就能获得奥斯卡女主角奖。最后艾达在船上把钢琴推入海中,她也由于绳子缠绕被拉入海中,在深蓝的海水中下沉,沉……把她的沉寂带入海底,也把痛苦的记忆沉入海中,给人以很强的震撼。
女人必看十大英文影片3《蒂凡尼的早餐》 课程:虚荣
最初知道这部片子还是源于片中广为流传,经久不衰的插曲《moonriver》(月亮河)这首歌前不久还入选为“二十世纪最经典歌曲”。
奥黛丽-赫本塑造的霍莉性格饱满可信,鲁莽、稚气而又脆弱,开创了60年代电影中女性解放角色的先河。男人没有不喜欢奥黛丽-赫本的,而该片的摄影师是弗兰茨·普兰纳——这是奥黛丽最喜欢的摄影师,他把奥黛丽拍得十分漂亮。奥黛丽·赫本在片中边弹边唱《moonriver》的形象被评为是她最令人心动的形象。作为女性观众,是不是更应该看看,以便使自己更动人呢?而把本片作为必看的影片还并不只因为此,虽然该片不是一部女性题材影片,但片中突出的主题——反对“虚荣”和“金钱至上”使其绝对应该被列入女人必看的影片之中,从1961年至今以及日后相当长的一段时间里,该片都有着广泛而深远的现实意义。
女人必看十大英文影片4《简·爱》课程:尊严
简-方达在片中说:“你以为,我因为穷,低微,矮小,不美,我就没有灵魂没有心吗?你想错了──我的灵魂和你一样,我的心也和你完全一样……我们站在上帝脚跟前是平等的──因为我们是平等的!”
我们听到这个声音,并且看到时光流逝当中,在如此众多的心灵中泛起回响的波纹。虽然这是一部很老的片子,但经典名著并不会因岁月流逝而变的黯淡。当初该片影响了一大批知识女性,如今,它还是拥有大量喜欢简-爱的观众(其中大部分是女性)。不美的人也可以有很美的爱情,如果她像简-爱一样,爱情会使她变美。
女人必看十大英文影片5《白领丽人》课程:才华
以喜剧的方式为职业女性制造了一个美妙的梦幻。现在越来越多的女性成为上班一族,而该片正是一部反映职业女性工作生活的影片。有才华的人是不会被埋没的,此片激励众多有才华的白领丽人,通过努力,必将获得成功。
女人必看十大英文影片6《母女情深》课程:亲情
孀居的中年妇女奥罗拉-格林威溺爱女儿艾玛,但又有些主观、专横,对女儿的事干涉过多。
女儿渴望过独立生活,与英语教师汤姆斯-霍顿结婚后,搬到另一个城市居住。后来,奥罗拉与住在隔壁的退休宇航员加勒特-布列德洛弗产生了感情,身心变得年轻起来,可以和女儿像姐妹一样互相沟通,但不久女儿被癌症夺去了生命。本片获第56届(1983年)奥斯卡最佳导演,最佳女主演,最佳男配角奖,并被认为是80年代最感人肺腑的影片之一,看时自备手绢……
女人必看十大英文影片7《紫色》课程:苦难
史蒂文-斯皮尔伯格导演,胡比-戈德堡(whoopigoldberg)在片中饰西莉,恐怕当初所有看过该片的人谁也不会想到饰演如此悲剧性人物的胡比-戈德堡日后会出演搞笑的喜剧电影《修女也疯狂》系列,并以搞笑风格主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼!不过可惜的是该片获11项奖的提名,最终却一无所获,有评论说该片过于悲情。不过由此也可以吸取一些教训,那就是——不要试图包揽奥斯卡所有奖项而兼顾影片的方方面面,还不如只搞几样突出的,这样更容易获奖。
女人必看十大英文影片8《末路狂花》课程:女权
美国1991年夏季10大卖座片之一,这部影片被认为是一部典型的女权主义电影,成功地描写了女主角作为普通妇女,在男性的压迫下,被迫走向极端……女权主义者和准备成为女权主义者的女性观众必看!先看这部影片苏珊-萨兰登(susansarandon)的表演,再看她在《漫步死亡线》中饰演的修女,怎么也看不出是一个人。
女人必看十大英文影片9《风月俏佳人》课程:浪漫
朱丽娅-罗伯茨的成名作,90年美国最卖座的影片之一。她成功地饰演了这位热情、聪明、漂亮、诚实并富有个性的妓女形象而备受美国影评界赞扬。甚至认为这是继赫本《罗马假日》的表演以来最令人鼓舞的演出,这无疑奠定了她明星的地位,同时也为该片大增光彩。
反映爱情浪漫史的电影为数众多,其中就必然形成了一定套路。我们所熟知的有:古老的白马王子与灰姑娘的爱情传奇。《风月俏佳人》就是一部这种类型的成功之作,也许很多男人会嫌它“俗”,不过女人说了:“俗,但是我喜欢!”麻雀变凤凰是无数女人的梦想,不管什么时候这种影片都会受到欢迎,这就是市场。
女人必看十大英文影片10《女人那话儿》课程:性爱
黄真真执导,该片以纪录片形式拍摄,更找来“性女”钟爱宝、导演许鞍华、过气艳星、名模及港姐各种不同范畴女性讲述性爱、爱情观,完完全全的女性题材电影。如果说这个片子都不被列入“女人必看”,难道该片算是“男人必看”?不过男人也需要看看,以加深对女人思想的了解。不管怎么说,反正看了的男女,都会觉得有新意。
1《乱世佳人》课程:坚强
文学名著改编,得到很多女性读者的喜爱。而影片则同该书一样出色,曾荣获第12届奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳女主角、最佳女配角、最佳改编剧本、最佳艺术指导、最佳剪接等七项大奖,这些奖项的任何一个都足以引起人们的观看欲望。

最初知道这部片子还是源于片中广为流传,经久不衰的插曲《moonriver》(月亮河)这首歌前不久还入选为“二十世纪最经典歌曲”。
奥黛丽-赫本塑造的霍莉性格饱满可信,鲁莽、稚气而又脆弱,开创了60年代电影中女性解放角色的先河。男人没有不喜欢奥黛丽-赫本的,而该片的摄影师是弗兰茨·普兰纳——这是奥黛丽最喜欢的摄影师,他把奥黛丽拍得十分漂亮。奥黛丽·赫本在片中边弹边唱《moonriver》的形象被评为是她最令人心动的形象。作为女性观众,是不是更应该看看,以便使自己更动人呢?而把本片作为必看的影片还并不只因为此,虽然该片不是一部女性题材影片,但片中突出的主题——反对“虚荣”和“金钱至上”使其绝对应该被列入女人必看的影片之中,从1961年至今以及日后相当长的一段时间里,该片都有着广泛而深远的现实意义。
女人必看十大英文影片4《简·爱》课程:尊严
简-方达在片中说:“你以为,我因为穷,低微,矮小,不美,我就没有灵魂没有心吗?你想错了──我的灵魂和你一样,我的心也和你完全一样……我们站在上帝脚跟前是平等的──因为我们是平等的!”
我们听到这个声音,并且看到时光流逝当中,在如此众多的心灵中泛起回响的波纹。虽然这是一部很老的片子,但经典名著并不会因岁月流逝而变的黯淡。当初该片影响了一大批知识女性,如今,它还是拥有大量喜欢简-爱的观众(其中大部分是女性)。不美的人也可以有很美的爱情,如果她像简-爱一样,爱情会使她变美。
女人必看十大英文影片5《白领丽人》课程:才华
以喜剧的方式为职业女性制造了一个美妙的梦幻。现在越来越多的女性成为上班一族,而该片正是一部反映职业女性工作生活的影片。有才华的人是不会被埋没的,此片激励众多有才华的白领丽人,通过努力,必将获得成功。
女人必看十大英文影片6《母女情深》课程:亲情
孀居的中年妇女奥罗拉-格林威溺爱女儿艾玛,但又有些主观、专横,对女儿的事干涉过多。
女儿渴望过独立生活,与英语教师汤姆斯-霍顿结婚后,搬到另一个城市居住。后来,奥罗拉与住在隔壁的退休宇航员加勒特-布列德洛弗产生了感情,身心变得年轻起来,可以和女儿像姐妹一样互相沟通,但不久女儿被癌症夺去了生命。本片获第56届(1983年)奥斯卡最佳导演,最佳女主演,最佳男配角奖,并被认为是80年代最感人肺腑的影片之一,看时自备手绢……
女人必看十大英文影片7《紫色》课程:苦难
史蒂文-斯皮尔伯格导演,胡比-戈德堡(whoopigoldberg)在片中饰西莉,恐怕当初所有看过该片的人谁也不会想到饰演如此悲剧性人物的胡比-戈德堡日后会出演搞笑的喜剧电影《修女也疯狂》系列,并以搞笑风格主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼!不过可惜的是该片获11项奖的提名,最终却一无所获,有评论说该片过于悲情。不过由此也可以吸取一些教训,那就是——不要试图包揽奥斯卡所有奖项而兼顾影片的方方面面,还不如只搞几样突出的,这样更容易获奖。
女人必看十大英文影片8《末路狂花》课程:女权
美国1991年夏季10大卖座片之一,这部影片被认为是一部典型的女权主义电影,成功地描写了女主角作为普通妇女,在男性的压迫下,被迫走向极端……女权主义者和准备成为女权主义者的女性观众必看!先看这部影片苏珊-萨兰登(susansarandon)的表演,再看她在《漫步死亡线》中饰演的修女,怎么也看不出是一个人。
女人必看十大英文影片9《风月俏佳人》课程:浪漫
朱丽娅-罗伯茨的成名作,90年美国最卖座的影片之一。她成功地饰演了这位热情、聪明、漂亮、诚实并富有个性的妓女形象而备受美国影评界赞扬。甚至认为这是继赫本《罗马假日》的表演以来最令人鼓舞的演出,这无疑奠定了她明星的地位,同时也为该片大增光彩。
反映爱情浪漫史的电影为数众多,其中就必然形成了一定套路。我们所熟知的有:古老的白马王子与灰姑娘的爱情传奇。《风月俏佳人》就是一部这种类型的成功之作,也许很多男人会嫌它“俗”,不过女人说了:“俗,但是我喜欢!”麻雀变凤凰是无数女人的梦想,不管什么时候这种影片都会受到欢迎,这就是市场。
女人必看十大英文影片10《女人那话儿》课程:性爱
黄真真执导,该片以纪录片形式拍摄,更找来“性女”钟爱宝、导演许鞍华、过气艳星、名模及港姐各种不同范畴女性讲述性爱、爱情观,完完全全的女性题材电影。如果说这个片子都不被列入“女人必看”,难道该片算是“男人必看”?不过男人也需要看看,以加深对女人思想的了解。不管怎么说,反正看了的男女,都会觉得有新意。

英语美文欣赏:音乐之声The Sound of Music
liuxiaofen 发布于 2008-10-11 00:13:22
The hills are alive with the sound of music,
With songs they have sung for a thousand years.
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every thing every song it hears.
My heart wants to beat
Like the wings of the birds that rise
From the lake to the trees.
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips
And falls over stones on its way.
To sing through the night
Like a lake who is learning to pray.
I go to the hills when my heat is lonely.
I know I will hear what I've heard before.
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music,
And I'll sing once more.
英语美文欣赏:音乐之声The Sound of Music
音乐声回荡在群山之间,
传唱千年的歌声在飘扬。
山峦唤起我心中的音乐,
我的心想唱出听到的每首歌每件事。
我的心想和着
鸟儿振翅的节拍
飞过湖面飞过树林。
我的心想与钟声齐轻叹
乘风飞出教堂。
如淙淙溪流般欢笑!
一路在石子上轻盈跳跃。
如彻夜高歌,
学习祈祷的云雀。
心灵孤寂的时候我就来到群山中。
我知道会听到从前听过的声音。
音乐声洗涤我的心灵,
我将会再一次地歌唱。
