《暮光之城》出版番外篇《布里·坦娜短暂的第二生命》 Stephenie Meyer,whose books have sold some 100 million copies worldwide, will let readers have access to the 192-page novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner for a month. Stephenie Meyer, the author of the enormously（巨大地，非常地） popular Twilight books, is to let fans read her new novella（短篇故事，中篇小说） free on the Internet. The American, whose books have sold some 100 million copies worldwide, will let readers have access to（接近，使用） the 192-page novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner for a month. A spin-off from Eclipse – the third book in the Twilight series – The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner will be published simultaneously in Britain and America on June 5. But two days later it will become available to read for free online, via a special website, http://tieba.baidu.com/mo/q/checkurl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.breetanner.com.%2F&urlrefer=2c963fec70fa8b577313b0f8f841b54b It will remain online until July 5. Meyer said she was allowing it to be read for free online "as a special thank you to fans", according to a spokesman. The book will not be downloadable, but only available to read online. However, there will be little to stop readers compiling their own electronic copies, which are likely to be circulated on the Internet. The novella, published by Atom, an imprint（痕迹，印记） of Little, Brown Book Group (UK), is the first new title from Meyer in nearly two years. The hardback（精装本） will cost £11.99. Meyer said: "I’m as surprised as anyone about this novella. "When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. "I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. "Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga（冒险故事，传说） : The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated（盼望，预料） , until it was too long to fit into the Guide." Sarah Clarke, children's book buyer for Waterstone's, said: "A new Twilight Saga book from Stephenie Meyer, no matter how short, is the best news in the world for her legions of fans, and great news for bookshops everywhere - this could be the biggest selling book of the year."

对薄公堂—Lady Gaga回击制作人 Lady Gaga is firing back at a music producer who claims he launched her career and is suing her for $30.5 million. Her lawyer said in a court filing made public Friday the agreement at the heart of the suit was "unlawful." Song writer and music producer Rob Fusari filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Manhattan against the Grammy Award-winning performer. He said his protege and former girlfriend, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, ditched him as her career soared. The lawsuit said they co-wrote songs such as "Paparazzi" and "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich." Fusari also said he came up with her stage name and helped get her record deal. According to the lawsuit, Lady Gaga and Fusari's relationship turned romantic and then became a business partnership in May 2006, when they created a joint venture called Team Love Child LLC to promote her career. Fusari's share was 20 percent. But Lady Gaga lawyer Charles Ortner wrote in his response that the arrangement was "structured in such a way as to mask its true purpose — to provide to the defendants unlawful compensation for their services as unlicensed employment agents." Ortner wrote that Fusari and his company violated statutes that prohibited them from "acting as employment agents without a license and charging Lady Gaga an unlawful fee for their purported services." Fusari's lawyer, Robert S. Meloni, called the claim "ludicrous" in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "Fusari is a PARTNER in the Team Love LLC with Gag and her father (through their company Mermaid)," Meloni wrote. "Rob was no more of an 'agent' for her than she is a Roman Catholic nun." Ortner did not immediately respond to a phone message left at his office and an e-mail. Lady Gaga won two Grammys in January: best dance recording, for "Poker Face," and best electronic/dance album, for "The Fame."

Obama to introduce offshore oil proposal U.S. President Barack Obama is allowing exploration for oil and natural gas 50 miles off Virginia's shorelines, media reported on Wednesday. White House officials looked the changes as a way to create jobs and reduce U. S. reliance on foreign oil -- both politically popular ideas. But it also means that the president extended olive branch to Republicans for a climate change bill languishing in Congress. For more than 20 years, drilling was banned in most offshore areas of the United States outside the Gulf of Mexico because of concerns that spills could harm the environment.

职场秘籍：有些坏事对你更有帮助 Some things are often deemed to be bad. Some things are often deemed to be good Here are three things that may sound bad but can actually be good for you. Three things that I have learned to make better use of or strengthen a bit since that would help me out. Think about them. Then add and subtract as you see useful for your life and situation right now while using your own common sense 1. Selfishness 自私 Selfishness is rarely seen as something positive. The word may fill your head with images of greedy and soulless Montgomery Burns-like people 自私很少被认为是好的品质。一提到这个词，你脑海中可能就浮现出类似于Montgomery Burns那样贪婪、无情的人。 However, personal development is in a way pretty selfish. You are trying to make yourself and your life better. But the thing is that by focusing on helping yourself first you can become stronger and help others in a better way too 然而，个人提升在某种程度确实是一件很自私的事。你总是试图让你和你的生活更好些。事实上，通过优先关注自己的事不仅会让你变得更强大，而且还可以更好的帮助别人。 If you just focus on other people and not on yourself then you risk burning out. Or people may take advantage of you as you set no limits or boundaries. You become the “nice guy/girl” who is always out there to help people but think little about yourself which in the long run can become pretty unhealthy 如果你只关注别人的事，那你就有被“耗尽”的可能。因为你对事情没有约束和限制，被人很可能会利用你。你成了“好好人”，因为你总是在帮人忙这忙那，却很少考虑你自己。长期来说，这样是很不好的。 And selfishness and helping others often go hand in hand anyway. I did for example improve my health and increased my energy levels last year. This also gave me the extra energy to work on an free ebook – that will, if everything goes as planned, be up on the blog very soon – besides writing the usual articles. So that is a win-win 话又说回来，自私和帮助别人也并不矛盾。举例来说，去年一年，我努力使自己更健康也更有精力了。这使我在除却写平常的一些文章外还有多余的精力去完成一本免费的电子书(若不错意外，明年就可与大家见面了)。所以这是双赢。 2. Lazyness 懒惰 Being lazy isn’t all that bad. Being lazy about stuff that is irrelevant or not that important will help you quite a bit to free up time and minimize unnecessary stress. Getting the most stuff done isn’t the best option. Getting the most important things done will improve your life and world the most 懒惰也并非都是坏事。对一些无关紧要的事懒惰会为你节省很多时间，减少不必要的压力。做完最多的事并非是最好的选择，做完最重要的事才是最佳选择。它能最大限度地提升你的生活和你生活的世界。 So, as I wrote a few weeks ago, set limits for checking inboxes, Twitter etc. Use your laziness and come up with ideas on how to make things as simple as you can in your daily life. Find the smartest path instead of thinking there is some reward for doing things in the most roundabout and complicated way 所以，在几个星期前我就建议，要对你每天查看邮箱或Twitter的次数做一个限制。在日常生活中，要利用你的懒惰来想一些点子，好让有些事情尽可能简单。找一种最聪明的方法解决问题，而不是想着如果绕一些弯子或用一些很复杂的方法会获得奖励。 This also makes it easier to really relax when you relax and work in focused way when you are working. Be smart and balance life and take advantage of laziness instead of making things into an unnecessarily big struggle 这样做可以让你更容易在该放松的时候彻底放松，在该工作的时候专注工作。要生活地既聪明又平衡，尽量利用懒惰的优势，不要做不必要的巨大努力。 3. Ruthlessness 冷酷无情 Adding a bit of ruthlessness has, in just the right amount, been very helpful for me. It allows me to cut out the unnecessary instead of wimping around and trying to everything to fit in somehow. If you have problems with putting a stop to something or making decisions then a little bit more ruthlessness may be what you need 多一点恰当的冷酷对我非常有帮助。它让我剔除了一些不必要的事，而不是犹犹豫豫，并试着以某种方式适应它。如果你对停止做某些事或做某个决定感到困难，那么一点点的冷酷就是你所需要的。 Because at some point you have to make harder decisions and cut out stuff you may not want to. Otherwise you won’t be able to find the time and energy you need. This may mean to skip some social engagements or cutting down on the TV-shows you follow from 10 hours a week to 2 hours a week. Not always fun, but you have to be the boss of your life. You have to make the decisions and say no both to yourself and to others if necessary 到了某些时候，你必须做出一些对你来说更困难的决定或是放弃一些你不想放弃的事，因为否则你将无法腾出你所需要的时间和精力。这可能意味着，你将砍掉一些社会交际时间或是将每周花10小时看你所热衷的TV秀减至每周2小时。这也许并不好过，但你是自己生活的主人。你必须做决定，如果需要，你要向自己或是别人说“不”。

看美剧学习到的餐饮词汇及用语经常出现在美剧中的一个新词 brealunch 应该是在介于早午餐之间的一餐，在gossip girl里的 brealunch 太过奢华，Kitchen Confidential 里的又太过凌乱，当然不仅仅是孩子们在冰箱里一通乱翻后的牛奶泡麦片，那么传统的西式早餐都有什么呢？西式早餐一般可分为两种，一是美式早餐（American Breakfast,英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚及新西兰等，以英语(论坛)为母语的国家都属于此类）; 一是欧式早餐（Continental Breakfast,德国、法国等即是）。美式早餐内容相当丰富，包括下列五种： 1. 水果或果汁这是早餐的第一道菜，果汁又分为罐果汁(canned juice)及新鲜果汁(fresh juice)两种。另有一种将干果加水，用小火煮至汤汁蒸发殆尽，水果丰软为止，以餐盘端上桌，用汤匙边刮边舀着吃。 2. 谷类 Cereals 玉米、燕麦等制成的谷类食品，如corn flakes (玉米片), rice crispies (脆爆米), rye crispies (脆麦), puff rice (泡芙), wheaties (小麦干), cheerios (保健麦片),musli(杂果麦片)等，通常加砂糖及冰牛奶，有时再加香蕉切片、草莓或葡萄干等。此外尚备有麦片粥(oatmeal)或玉米粥(cornmeal),以供顾客变换口味，吃地加牛奶和糖调味 3. 蛋－早餐的主食这是早餐的第二道菜，通常为两个蛋，随着烹煮方法之不同，可以分为： fried eggs 煎蛋（只煎一面的荷包蛋称为sunny-side up,两面煎半熟叫over easy,两面全熟的叫over hard或over well-done）。 boiled eggs壳水煮蛋(煮三分钟熟的叫soft boiled,煮五分钟熟的叫hard boiled)。 Poached eggs去壳水煮蛋(将蛋去壳，滑进锅内特制的铁环中，在将沸的水中或水面上煮至所要求的熟度。) scrambled eggs 炒蛋 omelet 蛋卷(也可以拼成omelette) 4. 吐司和面包吐司通常烤成焦黄状，要注意toast with butter和buttered toast的不同。Toast with butter是指端给客人时，吐司和牛油是分开的。Buttered toast是指把牛油涂在吐司上面之后，再端给客人，美国的coffee shop大都提供这种buttered toast。 5. 饮料Beverages 指咖啡或茶等不含酒精的饮料。所谓white coffee是指加奶精(cream)的咖啡，也就是法语中的café au lait，较不伤胃。不加奶精的咖啡就称为black coffee在国外，tea（茶）一般是指红茶而言。欧陆式早餐比美式早餐简单，内容大致相同，但不供应蛋类。

为什么结了婚的人易发胖？ Married people are twice as likely to become obese than their single counterparts, scientists claim. 科研人员日前称，已婚人士发胖的几率为单身人士的两倍。 Greek researchers found that married couples were more likely to become fat due to their significantly changed lifestyle as they "let themselves go". 希腊研究人员日前发现，已婚人士对自己“放任自流”，生活方式发生显著变化，因此容易发胖。 Married men are three times as likely to suffer obesity while married women are twice as likely to have weight problems, it found. 调查发现，已婚男士肥胖的几率为单身男士的三倍，而已婚女士肥胖的几率为单身女士的两倍。 The research, based on the study of more than 17,000 couples aged between 20 and 70, found that married couples exercised less frequently, had less ***, had poor nutrition and were "comfortable" in their lives. 该研究基于一项对17000对年龄在20岁到70岁之间的夫妇进行的调查。研究发现，人们在结婚后锻炼次数减少，性生活减少，营养不良，生活处于一种“安逸”状态。 Married couples spend more time eating together, sit in front of the TV more and often order takeaway ready meals while exercising less. 已婚夫妇一起吃饭、坐着看电视的时间增多，他们经常叫外卖，同时锻炼次数减少。 Scientists from Salonica and Ioannina Universities, who presented their research on Friday to the Panhellenic Medical Conference, in Athens, concluded that "abdominal obesity, or belly fat" was the worst problem among married people. 来自希腊萨洛尼卡和约阿尼纳大学的科研人员于上周五在雅典召开的泛希腊医学大会上展示了他们的研究成果。研究人员得出结论：“啤酒肚”是已婚人群中存在的最严重的问题。 Prof Dimitris Kiortsis, one of the study's co-authors, said that obesity was found to be directly related to a change in lifestyle. 研究报告的撰写人之一迪米特瑞斯·奇奥尔特西斯教授说，肥胖与生活方式的改变直接相关。 Prof Kiortsis, from Ioannina University who is also president of the Hellenic Medical Association for Obesity, said most married couples also have less ***, which is considered intense exercise that burns calories. 希腊肥胖医学会主席、来自约阿尼纳大学的奇奥尔特西斯教授说，大多数已婚夫妇性生活减少，而性生活被认为是一种可燃烧热量的高强度运动。 He said that unmarried individuals originally spend a lot of time keeping fit and making themselves attractive in order to find a partner "but once they get married they let themselves go". 他说，人们在单身时为了寻找伴侣会花很多时间来保健和增强自身吸引力，“可一旦结了婚，他们就放任自流了”。 "The need to hunt for a partner is reduced," he said. 他说：“这是因为他们没有找对象的压力了。” "Stress and anxiety is reduced in a good marriage, there is less smoking, and therefore one's appetite increases." “美满的婚姻会减少人的压力和焦虑感，同时吸烟量的减少会增强人的食欲。” The study advised married couples to take up more exercise, to have only one home-cooked meal a day, to avoid snacks, and to follow a Mediterranean diet which includes a lot of fruit, vegetables and olive oil. 研究建议已婚夫妇多进行体育锻炼，每天只吃一顿家常大餐，少吃点心，并遵循地中海食谱——多吃水果、蔬菜，食用橄榄油。

李开复给中国大学生的七封信-第七封信:你有选择的权利李开复给中国学生的第七封信：你有选择的权利有一位中国留学生看完了我《写给中国学生的第三封信》后，感触很深，他写了一封信给我说：“很小的时候，我的目标就是长大，长大了做什么，我当时没有想；读小学的时候，父母给我的目标就是考初中，考上初中做什么，我没有想过；读初中的时候，父母给我的目标就是考高中，考上高中做什么，我没有想过；读高中的时候，父母给我的目标就是考大学，考上大学做什么，我没有想过；上大学的时候，父母给我的目标就是要出国，出国做什么，我也没有想过；现在留学拿到了学位，要找工作了，下一步我该做些什么呢？这次，我要好好地想一想。谢谢你的第三封信，它唤醒了我埋藏了25年的进取心，它改变了我25年来被动的生活方式。从今天开始，我要积极主动地为自己而生活！” 当我为这位中国留学生终于理解他“有选择的权利”感到欢欣鼓舞的时候，我不禁想到，还有更多的年轻人依然在被动的道路上迷茫地生活着。在“开复学生网”我每天都看到：“只有你能告诉我，我该怎么做。”的被动思维。在中国的教育体制下，学生们事事要听从父母和老师的安排，遇到问题也可以直接从父母和老师那里获得帮助，这很容易养成被动的习惯。因此，许多中国年轻人不善于主动规划自己的成长路线，不知道如何积极地寻找资源，使自己的学业和人生迈上更高的阶梯。另一方面，中国的父母和老师习惯于使用越俎代庖的方式，帮助孩子设计人生规划，这通常会使很多人忽视了自己真正的性格和兴趣，当这些孩子长大以后，他们多半会发现，自己早已迷失在“自我缺失”的海洋里了。此外，中国的传统文化强调群体意识，大力推崇“从上”、“从众”等行为方式，这些思想潜移默化地影响着一代又一代的青年，以至于许多年轻人觉得，“自主”这两个字是那么陌生和遥远。所以，消极到积极之路是充满荆棘的。虽然在我的前四封信都有提到积极主动的重要性，我决定特别写一封有关积极主动的信。为了成为国际化的人才，为了在信息时代发挥自己的最大潜能，每一个有进取心的中国青年都应该努力迫使自己从被动转向主动，大家必须成为自己未来的主人，必须积极地管理自己的学业和未来的事业??没有人比你自己更在乎你的工作与生活，没有人比你自己更适于管理你的人生和事业，只有积极主动的你，才能找到真正的“自我”，才能让自己在成功的道路上永远快乐！什么是积极主动？消极被动的人积极主动的人自己和环境自己受环境的左右自己有选择的权利人和事事情主导人人可以主导或推动事情的进展遇到问题时寻求帮助独立思考环境不好时怨天尤人积极进取自常说的话只有你可以告诉我该怎么做。我必须服从环境的安排。谁可以告诉我该选什么专业？怎么都没有人注意到我？我总是没时间做某事。只有你可以告诉我该怎么做。我父母都有糖尿病，我也一定会得。一切靠自己，我可以做得更好。我有选择的权利。我要制定一个计划，以选择最适合我的专业。我要去学习如何引起人们的重视。我该放弃哪些不重要的事，才能做最重要的事？只有我自己才有权利和责任决定我该怎么做。虽然父母有糖尿病，但只要注意锻炼，注意饮食，就能降低得病的几率。消极被动（Reactive）的人总是认为自己受环境和他人的左右，如果别人不指点，环境不改变，自己就只有消极地生活下去。碰到问题的时候，消极被动的人总会找人帮着决定，环境不好的时候，他们就会怨天尤人。他们总是在等待命运安排或贵人相助。对一件事情，他们总认为是事情找上他们，自己无法主导或推动事情的进展。积极主动（Pro-active）的人认为，无论在任何情况下，自己总有选择的权利。所以，他们对自己总是有一份责任感，因为命运操纵在自己的手里，而自己并不是环境或他人的附庸。对一件事情，他们总是认为，自己可以主导事情的发生、发展。

如何用英语与老外上司沟通和老外上司沟通让你忐忑不安吗？还是担心自己的英文不够好，无法准确表达自己的意思？下面就来教你几招常用的沟通“句法”。 1. 请假 Would it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday? 这个星期五，我是否可以休一天假？请求休假用take the day off。如果是两天以上就用days off。上司可能会很干脆地答应说 "That'll be OK."，也可能会不悦地回答"Will everything be all right?（一切都安排就绪了吗？）"。这些都要看你平时的工作表现而定。 2. 提议 I think we need to buy a new copier. 我想我们需要买一台新的复印机。说出这句话之前，必须要说明"Our copying machine has broken down again.（复印机又出毛病了。）"以作为提案的依据。客气一些的提议，可用"suggest"来表达，如"I would suggest we buy a new copier." 3. 表示了解上司的指示 Yes, of course. 是，我知道了。也可以用"I understand.（我明白了。）"，或"Yes, right away.（好的，马上去做。）"对上司说"OK"或 "all right"并不恰当。如果你很忙，应该说"I'm sorry, but I'm busy now. Could I do it later?" 4. 确认上司指示的内容 You did say next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., didn't you? 您是说在下星期二下午2点，是不是？任何事都必须确认一下。如果对方是外国人更要如此。上句也可以直截了当地说"Let me confirm.（让我确认一下时间和日期。）" 5. 报告商谈结果 I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan. 我觉得他赞成那个计划。记住"I have a feeling (that)...（我觉得……）"，以及"...(that) he was against the plan.(他反对那个计划。）"这两句话，都是非常有用的哦！

关于“召回”的正确英文翻译原文：最近丰田召回了800多万辆问题汽车。误译：Toyota has recently returned more than 8 million problematic cars。正译：Toyota has recently recalled more than 8 million problematic cars。辨析：to return 的意思是to give back，在这里指制造商将汽车归还消费者，是错误翻译。to recall的意思是to take back，指制造商从消费者那里收回汽车，这才是正确翻译。 “召回”的第一个意思是“上级调回或叫回派出的人员”。英语(论坛)可以译为to recall，即to order sb to return。例1.这名年轻官员被上级召回北京。The young official was recalled to Beijing by his superior。例2.两国分别召回各自的大使。The two countries respectively recalled their ambassadors home。 “召回”的第二个意思是“生产商收回有问题的产品加以改正”。英语可以译为to recall, to call back, to call in。例3.该玩具公司已决定在全世界范围内召回那些有缺陷的产品。The toy company has decided to call in the defective products all over the world。例4.该公司已召回所有出故障的吹风机。The company has called back all the faulty hairdryers。

美国教育部长邓肯呼吁增加对学校的补助 3月5日，美国教育部长邓肯呼吁大幅增加对学校的补助，以此改善美国教育。在纽约一个会议上，他对8千多名听众发表讲演时指出，中学没毕业的美国人基本上注定会陷于贫穷和失败，我们的目标应该是让所有中学毕业生接受某种形式的高等教育。一个来自贫困社区、单亲家庭的穷孩子，将他们放在一所非常好的学校，我对他们未来的表现绝对乐观。只要我们取消就高等教育学生贷款给银行的补贴，就可能有870亿美元能用在教育上而不需要花纳税人一毛钱。邓肯敦促政府停止就学生贷款补贴银行，而是把这些资金转到帮助低收入学生和早期儿童教育项目上。09年9月，美国国会众议院通过了终止对银行900亿美元补贴的法案，此项法案现在正等待参议院通过。

Steelmaker to increase coking coal imports Maanshan Iron & Steel Co, the second-biggest Chinese steelmaker listed in Hong Kong, will increase coking coal imports this year, adding to rising global demand that's sent prices soaring. The mill bought between 800,000 metric tons and 900,000 tons of the raw material from BHP Billiton Ltd, the biggest exporter, last year, Chairman Gu Jianguo said. "Imports from BHP will likely be sustained," he said. Coking coal imports by China, the world's largest steelmaking nation, surged five-fold last year after the government closed smaller unsafe mines. BHP last week won a 55 percent price increase from Japan's JFE Holdings Inc as the global economy picks up and Chinese purchases bolstered demand. "Our demand for imported coking coal will increase this year," said Gu. "The exact import level will depend on domestic and overseas prices. If prices are low, everyone will be buying from that market." Prices for coal bought from BHP are negotiated privately and don't follow benchmark contracts set between Japanese mills and the mining company, he said. China will demand more high quality hard-coking coal in the future as it expands mills, Melbourne-based BHP Billiton said in a September slide presentation. Imports by China jumped to 34.4 million tons in 2009, Wu Xinchun, a consultant to the China Iron & Steel Association said Feb 5.

U.S. denies military intervention in Somalia The United States on Friday denied intervening in the military operation by the Somali transitional government on the extremists, saying it has no desire to "Americanize" the conflict in Somalia. "We have provided limited military support to the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). We do so in the firm belief that the TFG seeks to end the violence in Somalia that is caused by al-Shabaab and other extremist organizations," said Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson. "The United States does not plan, does not direct, and does not coordinate the military operations of the TFG, and we have not and will not be providing direct support for any potential military offensives," Carson told reporters at a special press briefing in the State Department. "Further, we are not providing nor paying for military advisors for the TFG. There is no desire to Americanize the conflict in Somalia," he added, reiterating that the United States supports the peace process in Somalia. According to Carson, the United States continues to call on all those who seek peace in Somalia to reject terrorism and violence, and to participate in the hard work of stabilizing the country for the benefit of the Somali people. Carson's remarks were made as the TFG has renewed its military strike against the Islamist extremists in the capital Mogadishu and a senior U.S. army officer said Washington would support the transitional government to retake Mogadishu. William Ward, who runs U.S. Africa Command, on Tuesday told a Senate hearing the Somali government's effort in retaking Mogadishu is "something that we would look to do in support." He said the military would do this "to the degree the transitional federal government can in fact re-exert control over Mogadishu, with the help of AMISOM and others." AMISOM stands for African Union Mission in Somalia. The internationally recognized government of Somalia is struggling to fight off an Islamist insurgency poised to run over parts of the city with protection from a few thousand African Union peacekeepers. Clashes have intensified recently in Mogadishu, with the office of UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) saying last week nearly 26,000 people have been forced to escape violence in the capital since Feb. 1. Mogadishu is a sore spot in American memory, where 18 U.S. soldiers died in an operation there in 1993. Some of their bodies were dragged along the streets, and the images prompted the end of that intervention. The battle was made into a movie called Black Hawk Down.

虚拟语气 . 虚拟语气 1）概念虚拟语气用来表示说话人的主观愿望或假想，所说的是一个条件，不一定是事实，或与事实相反。 2）在条件句中的应用条件句可分为两类，一类为真实条件句，一类为非真实条件句。非真实条件句表示的是假设的或实际可能性不大的情况，故采用虚拟语气。 16.1 真实条件句真实条件句用于陈述语气，假设的情况可能发生，其中 if 是如果的意思。时态关系句型：条件从句主句一般现在时 shall/will + 动词原形 If he comes, he will bring his violin. 典型例题 The volleyball match will be put off if it ___.

另类英语语法另类英语语法编者：徐达很多高中生，甚至大学生，都可能造出此类的错句： He is work hard. I am study English. 说他们糊涂，我也不想为他们辩护。但是，现行英语语法体系不尽合理，也确实难学难记。教学实践中，我编著了如下的另类语法，学生领悟很快。一般语法书看不进去的人可以尝试我的另类语法。第一部分：三种基本句型英语只有三种基本句型：第一种：He sees 第二种：He is 第三种：There is 解释：第一种就是，主语加一般动词的原形。注意，单数第三人称后，动词尾相应变化。这种句型可因动词的性质和句意不同，后面有5种不同的接法： 1、 He works hard.（非及物动词，后不接名词作宾语。hard是副词，作状语，修饰动词） 2、 I study English.（及物动词，后接名词作宾语） 3、 She teaches me English.（某些及物动词后，可接双宾语，即间接宾语和直接宾语） 4、 They find the boy clever.（某些及物动词后，可接复合宾语，即宾语及其补语） 5、 You look young.（某些表示感觉和变化的动词后，可接形容词或名词作表语）第二种就是，主语加动词be的变化形式。 be根据主语的人称变化。这种句型可因句意不同，后面有4种不同的接法：（注意：不接动词原形） 1、 He is a student. He is young.（后接名词或形容词等，作表语） 2、 It is made in China.（后接过去分词，构成被动语态） 3、 We are swimming.（后接现在分词，构成进行时态） 4、 You are to clean the window.（后接动词不定式，表示计划、命令、应该、注定等）第三种就是，There加动词be的变化形式。 be根据它后面的主语是单数或复数而变化。例如：There is a book on the desk. There are many books on the desk. 以上这十个例句，请你务必背记下来。第二部分：十六种时态上面三种句型很简单，应该很好记。但是，它们仅仅是现在一般时（We are swimming.例外，它是现在进行时）。英语中有十六种时态，也就是说，上面的每个句型都有可能再演变出十五个句型。不要怕，三种句型变法都一样，只有谓语动词变化，而且很有规律，也很好记。请看下表(红字的句子罕见)：一般完成进行完成进行现在现在一般时 He sees He is There is 现在完成时 He has seen He has been There has been 现在进行时 He is seeing He is being There is being 现在完成进行时 He has been seeing He has been being There has been being 过去过去一般时 He saw He was There was 过去完成时 He had seen He had been There had been 过去进行时 He was seeing He was being There was being 过去完成进行时 He had been seeing He had been being There had been being 将来将来一般时 He will see He will be There will be 将来完成时 He will have seen He will have been There will have been 将来进行时 He will be seeing He will be being There will be being 将来完成进行时 He will have been seeing He will have been being There will have been being 过去将来过去将来一般时 He would see He would be There would be 过去将来完成时 He would have seen He would have been There would have been 过去将来进行时 He would be seeing He would be being There would be being 过去将来完成进行时 He would have been seeing He would have been being There would have been being 另外，还有14个特殊动词： shall should can could may might ought(to) must need dare used(to) do does did ，理论上都可以置换上表中的will或would，又演变出14*4=56个句型。16+56=72，现在有72个句型了。虽然看起来不少，实际很简单，如果一个小时记不住，一天总能记住吧？

看耶鲁大学老师怎样对付学生逃课现象在耶鲁大学，本科课程主要有两种形式，一种是以讲授为主的大课，几百个学生坐在一个大的教室里，课堂形式大多为教授讲、学生听，很少有课堂讨论。另一种则是以讨论为主的小课，每个班级只有几十个学生，学生有很多机会提问，课堂参与度很高。一般大课还会配备每周十几个人的小型讨论答疑课，所有学生会被分到不同时间段的答疑课中。讨论答疑课一般由课程助教主持，助教多为研究生或博士生。讨论课中学生可以讨论已学内容，解答疑问，因而很多学生会选择在交作业前夕参加讨论课。大部分文科的讨论课和大课一样是必须要参加的，课堂出勤率和参与度都会计入学生的最终成绩，但是很多自然学科的讨论课则比较宽松，学生可以自由选择是否参加，一般不考察出勤率。大课上教授的讲课方式也各不相同，有的喜欢在黑板上写板书，有的喜欢用PPT，有的则喜欢什么都不用，站上讲台就能滔滔不绝地讲完一堂课。青睐用PPT讲课的教授一般都会给学生提供课件下载，供学生课后复习。一般来讲，教授讲授的大课上没有什么提问的机会，如果学生有疑问，可以在课程中间的休息时间举手提问。讨论性小课中，最常见的形式则是学生围坐在一起，教授在旁引导大家讨论但不过多参与，只会在学生讨论偏离方向时把大家的思路拉回来。不同课程的讲授方式也会根据课程本身的特点而有所不同，比如物理学，会有很多结合图形的讲解，而文学类的课程则会有很多精彩片段赏析。很多课程都会在考试前给学生安排一次复习课，复习课一般由助教来主持，主要以整理回顾所学内容，给学生答疑为主。除此之外，有些教授也会安排答疑时间，不过主要还是需要学生自主复习备考。也有一些比较勤奋上进的学生会自发组成备考复习小组，互相答疑。在美国读书，课程教材是一笔不小的开销。每门课至少有一本教材，而且教材都非常昂贵，尤其是自然科学类的教材往往是又厚又贵，所以很多学生会选择在网上购买相对较便宜的二手书或者是买国际版本的教材，幸运的话还能买到成色非常新的二手货。当然狡猾的出版商也有"高招"，他们不断地出版更新的版本，学生就不得不花原价去购买最新版本的教材。因为很多作业都是从教材中出题而且教材可以帮助学生复习课堂上所学的内容。如果按照课程进度，学生每门课每周大约需要阅读100-150页教材(具体页数因课而异)，这个阅读量非常大，完成起来很困难，所以有些学生也会采取不同的变通方法来达到"事半功倍"的效果，一方面不至于在课堂上被教授问倒，一方面也不用天天把自己埋在书堆里。不过千万不要以为能够轻易蒙混过关，事先有没有做好阅读准备在讨论中大家一听就能分辨出来。然而，很多教授上课讲授的内容往往和教材有较大的出入，学生除了按时上课或者借同学的课堂笔记之外别无它法，光靠自学教材是不够的。有些教授甚至故意采取这种方法来防止学生翘课。

Get out of my face：走开，滚蛋，别烦我 get out of my face是什么意思？ get out of my face可以翻译成：从我眼前消失、走开、滚蛋、别烦我。在俚语词典中是这样解释的：go away；something that you say in order to tell someone to stop annoying you。与Get out of my face意思相近的短语还有get out of my sight，leave me alone等等。例句： Just get out of my face and stop criticizing everything I do! 走开，别批评我做的一切！ Just get out of my face and leave me alone! 别烦我了，让我一个人静静。 Please get out of my sight forever! 别让我再见到你！(请你永远在我面前消失)

He picked one out and gave her money for it . "Would you like me to wrap it for you " she asked , smiling again. He nodded and she went to the back .

Auld Lang Syne （友谊地久天长）〔作者简介〕罗伯特·彭斯在英国文学史上占有特殊重要的地位，他复活并丰富了苏格兰民歌；他的诗歌富有音乐性，可以歌唱。彭斯生于苏格兰民族面临被异族征服的时代，因此，他的诗歌充满了激进的民主、自由的思想。诗人生活在破产的农村，和贫苦的农民血肉相连。他的诗歌歌颂了故国家乡的秀美，抒写了劳动者纯朴的友谊和爱情。苏格兰人》歌颂反抗英国侵略的民族英雄，号召人民起来争取自由；《两只狗》揭露地主阶级的荒淫无耻；《威利长老的祈祷》讥讽牧师的伪善。著名的抒情诗有《一朵红红的玫瑰》，《高原玛丽》，《往昔的时光》等。〔赏析〕Auld Lang Syne 这首诗被人谱了曲，在每年新年零点到来之时，全欧美都会齐唱的这首不朽之作。在经典电影---“魂断蓝桥”中，此曲被作为主旋律。 Should auld acquanintance be forgot，怎能忘记旧日朋友 And never brought to mind? 心中能不怀念？ Should auld acquaintance be forgot，旧日朋友怎能相忘， And days of auld long syne? 友谊地久天长。 And here's a hand,my trusty friend 我们往日情意相投， And gie's a hand o' thine; 让我们紧握手， We'll take a cup o' kindness yet. 让我们举杯痛饮， For auld lang syne. 友谊地久天长。 For auld lang syne my dear, 友情常在我心， For auld lang syne, 亲密的朋友 We'll take a cup o' kindness yet 举杯痛饮， For auld lang syne. 同声歌唱友谊地久天长。

与老外沟通这两句口语不要说很多学生反映在外教课上或者课间与外教沟通时候会经常产生“communication breakdown”的情况，换句话说，经常在英语(论坛)交流对话中，双方会发生不知所云，甚至尴尬的局面。其实，很多学生经常用的表达是错误的，有时会引起与老外沟通交流上的困难，如果不慎，甚至会引起误会乃至反感 (honest mistake though)。 1. I know 很多学生都喜欢说这个词组。其实，这种说法并没有任何错误，只是学生们要非常注意场合。记得有一次，有一位学生刚刚上完我的写作课，因为有一句话不明白，我又正好在给另一位学生讲解作文，这位学生就顺便抓住这个机会，想锻炼一下口语，就去问坐在我身边的一个外教这句话什么意思。在外教耐心讲解完后，这位学生就回答了一句: “I know”.这位外教显然感觉受到了侮辱，马上收起了笑容，一转身做别的去了，弄得学生也非常尴尬。我看到后，连忙在一旁打圆场，向外教解释到其实这并不是学生的本意，后来外教也表示了体谅。当学生后来问我时，我解释道：你明明不知道这句话什么意思来问外国人，当他非常耐心的向你解释完后，你一句“I know”, 就会让外国人认为你是在耍他，会有一种你知道还问他干什么的感觉。这种回答往往会让外国人非常反感。通常在这种情况下，经常用的说法是 “got you, cheers” 或者“understood”. 2. Judge 这是个基本上所有学生都知道的词，表示判断的意思。外国人通常非常反感甚至说讨厌别人judge自己，那么这里的judge指的就是告诉自己应该怎么做。我们经常可以听到老外们说“Don’t judge me. I don’t need to hear that kind of talk. ” 意思就是说，我知道应该怎么做，不要告诉我应该做什么，我不要这样的帮助。比如说，一个老外花了6块钱买了个苹果，你可能会说这太贵了，你被宰了，不应该去那里买东西。这时候，老外通常的反应就是“whatever”，一种不屑一顾的口气。再例如说，如果你跟一个外国人说你不要怎么样，应该怎么样，他们往往会有一大堆话来反驳你。其实这除了是因为大多数外国人都有一种从骨子里透出的莫须有的傲气，主要是因为在西方文化里面，这样的judge别人的做法是非常令人讨厌的。所以学生们要注意。以上两点小的建议，希望对大家有用，以免出现不必要的误会。

Police sources confirmed that two people had been wounded in separate shooting incidents on Saturday.

那些叫老外“崩溃”的英语留学生初到国外，总是或多或少会把“ChinEnglish”带出国门。那些不地道的破英语(论坛)差点没让老外们崩溃。同学们都闹出过怎样的笑话？不妨道来大家听听，顺便得个教训长个见识。 You know 乖乖留学地：美国留学前，我觉得自己英文还行，甚至讲起英语来还有口头禅，总爱模仿美剧中老美的口音，说话前先来句“YouKnow…”作为开场白。当时感觉，这样开始对话会产生些许亲近感，能马上跟对方套上近乎。我们有一门考试是要跟导师面对面坐下交谈的。因为平时上课时我提问比较多，暗自感觉她应该蛮喜欢我。而且我接触到的美国人普遍给人感觉都是挺容易相处的，所以即使是老师，大家面对面时也能像朋友般。考试的时候，我也想借此营造一种轻松和平等的对话氛围。记得我当时被问及的题目是“你如何看待嘉年华这种形式”。我习惯性地脱口而出：“You know, Ihaven’thadany carnivalbefore,but…” 正当我准备口若悬河炫耀自己的英语口语时，只见对方面无表情地瞪了我一眼，毫不客气地打断说“Idon’tknow.”突然间我尴尬得无地自容。更难堪的是，老师还紧接着用质疑的口吻补充道：“Really？You don’t haveany carnivalbefore?”那表情仿佛在告诉我，“你从没经历过嘉年华？怎么来回答这个问题？怎么发表你的见解？” 我就知道接下去的对话没可能简单进行了，更别提想得高分了…… CanIhave anotherone？ Jeffery 留学地：英国有次跟英国同学一起去一家餐馆，那里主菜是可以续的。因此一群人兴致勃勃一起前去。主菜分量小，吃一份确实还没饱。我当即想要续一份，于是举着手对服务员叫唤：“Can Ihave another one？服务员连忙跑过来惊恐地看看我，再看看我的盘子，问我：“Is there any problem,sir?”我回答：“No, I justwant to have another one.”一边说一边还心里犯嘀咕，英国佬也挺抠门的嘛，明明说好能续的，怎么一谈到续餐还要大惊小怪问有什么问题。对面的同学见状，立马微笑着对服务员解释道：“Justonemore,please.”服务员这才跑开去，但仿佛还心有疙瘩。后来经同学点拨，我才明白过来，原来我说的那句话会被人误以为是我对食物不满意，要求更换一份。通常这对一家餐馆来说是一种极大的不满和批评，属于挺原则性的问题。其实要求续餐只需简单说一句“Onemore”即可，意思就是“再给一份”。哪像我当时不知情，咋咋呼呼地就脱口而出了引起歧义的句子。当时那个窘啊。等服务员再端上来一份后，人家还念念不忘问我是否对主菜有任何问题，我忙不迭地说“没问题，没问题……”接下去的餐只敢埋头闷吃，极为不好意思。 YesorNo? Kob 留学地：加拿大没去加拿大之前，我本是准备申请美国学校的。不过当时有个学校的代表前来上海面试，我就是因为在面试中犯了最基础的低级错误，可能因此错失了offer。记得当时面试官问我一个问题：“Did you getany other certificate in yourhome country?”（你还得到过自己国家颁出的任何其他学习证书吗？）我答：No。”“面试官马上跟我确认：“So you haven’tany othercertificate, right?” “Yes。”我答：他愣了一下，再次确认道：You gotother“certificate?”我又如实说：No。”“ 我当时看见他有点抽筋的表情，估计是被我的烂英语给弄崩溃了。他再次一字一句地问我“Did you getany othercertificate?”我小心翼翼挤出一个字：“No.”他长舒一口气：“Ok, let’sputno.”显然他已经不敢再跟我确认。其实，回答yes orno这种问题是中国学生最容易犯迷糊的。中西方思维不一样，中方回答是非题是根据所问问题来答的，而英语思维是根据实际情况来答的。比如他的第二句跟我确认的话，事实是我没有其他学习证明，就应该答“No.”可是我却根据中式思维针对那个问题说了“Yes”。面试官被我一会儿是一会儿否，不弄疯才怪呢。

Mainland, Taiwan should enhance exchanges to improve military The mainland and Taiwan should enhance exchanges to improve military mutual trust, said Xu Genchu, a deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC), the top legislature. "The exchanges on military mutual trust, which have drawn wide attention across the Strait, will also boost cooperation in other areas," said Xu, former vice-president of the Academy of Military Sciences, on the sideline of the ongoing NPC annual session. Retired high-ranking officers, experts and scholars on the mainland have been to Taiwan twice for the exchanges. "They said the exchanges were satisfactory," said Xu. The lawmaker said such exchanges would continue and be enhanced, "which is not only the hope of the army, but also the common wish of people on both sides of the Strait."

THE NAUGHTY BOY顽皮的孩子 THE NAUGHTY BOY Along time ago, there lived an old poet, a thoroughly kind old poet. As he was sitting one evening in his room, a dreadful storm arose without, and the rain streamed down from heaven; but the old poet sat warm and comfortable in his chimney-corner, where the fire blazed and the roasting apple hissed. "Those who have not a roof over their heads will be wetted to the skin," said the good old poet. "Oh let me in! Let me in! I am cold, and I'm so wet!" exclaimed suddenly a child that stood crying at the door and knocking for admittance, while the rain poured down, and the wind made all the windows rattle. "Poor thing!" said the old poet, as he went to open the door. There stood a little boy, quite naked, and the water ran down from his long golden hair; he trembled with cold, and had he not come into a warm room he would most certainly have perished in the frightful tempest. "Poor child!" said the old poet, as he took the boy by the hand. "Come in, come in, and I will soon restore thee! Thou shalt have wine and roasted apples, for thou art verily a charming child!" And the boy was so really. His eyes were like two bright stars; and although the water trickled down his hair, it waved in beautiful curls. He looked exactly like a little angel, but he was so pale, and his whole body trembled with cold. He had a nice little bow in his hand, but it was quite spoiled by the rain, and the tints of his many-colored arrows ran one into the other. The old poet seated himself beside his hearth, and took the little fellow on his lap; he squeezed the water out of his dripping hair, warmed his hands between his own, and boiled for him some sweet wine. Then the boy recovered, his cheeks again grew rosy, he jumped down from the lap where he was sitting, and danced round the kind old poet. "You are a merry fellow," said the old man. "What's your name?" "My name is Cupid," answered the boy. "Don't you know me? There lies my bow; it shoots well, I can assure you! Look, the weather is now clearing up, and the moon is shining clear again through the window." "Why, your bow is quite spoiled," said the old poet. "That were sad indeed," said the boy, and he took the bow in his hand and examined it on every side. "Oh, it is dry again, and is not hurt at all; the string is quite tight. I will try it directly." And he bent his bow, took aim, and shot an arrow at the old poet, right into his heart. "You see now that my bow was not spoiled," said he laughing; and away he ran. The naughty boy, to shoot the old poet in that way; he who had taken him into his warm room, who had treated him so kindly, and who had given him warm wine and the very best apples! The poor poet lay on the earth and wept, for the arrow had really flown into his heart. "Fie!" said he. "How naughty a boy Cupid is! I will tell all children about him, that they may take care and not play with him, for he will only cause them sorrow and many a heartache." And all good children to whom he related this story, took great heed of this naughty Cupid; but he made fools of them still, for he is astonishingly cunning. When the university students come from the lectures, he runs beside them in a black coat, and with a book under his arm. It is quite impossible for them to know him, and they walk along with him arm in arm, as if he, too, were a student like themselves; and then, unperceived, he thrusts an arrow to their bosom. When the young maidens come from being examined by the clergyman, or go to church to be confirmed, there he is again close behind them. Yes, he is forever following people. At the play, he sits in the great chandelier and burns in bright flames, so that people think it is really a flame, but they soon discover it is something else. He roves about in the garden of the palace and upon the ramparts: yes, once he even shot your father and mother right in the heart. Ask them only and you will hear what they'll tell you. Oh, he is a naughty boy, that Cupid; you must never have anything to do with him. He is forever running after everybody. Only think, he shot an arrow once at your old grandmother! But that is a long time ago, and it is all past now; however, a thing of that sort she never forgets. Fie, naughty Cupid! But now you know him, and you know, too, how ill-behaved he is!

爱惜自己，不要轻易放弃爱惜自己,千万不要轻易放弃自己! 1. Eat Junk Last year, at least 400,000 Americans managed to kill themselves based almost solely on what they ate. Heart disease is the country's number one killer and, while some of that comes from genetics, most of it's due to the fat-laden, sugar-heavy junk we put in our bodies. 吃垃圾食品垃圾食品如今越来约威胁我们的健康，长吃垃圾食品我们很容易患上诸如心脏病和与肥胖有关的一系列疾病。 2.

男性生物钟 Tick-tock, tick-tock. Is that your biological clock? And if it is, are you female? Most people think biological clocks are strictly female phenomena, with infertility and the risk of certain diseases going up with a mother's age. But the biological clock is an equal opportunity timepiece--that's right, men have one too! There's a common belief that men can sire children until they die, but that women need to be relatively young to conceive healthy children. But the father's age affects the child's health too. Psychiatrist Dolores Malaspina and her team found that the risk of schizophrenia triples for babies born to fathers over 50, compared with fathers under 25. Other diseases appearing more in offspring of older fathers are achondroplasia, or dwarfism, and some prostate cancers. Despite the publicity given to women's biological clocks, medical geneticists recently have found that sperm are more likely than eggs to have genetic mutations. Here's why. By age 40, a man's sperm cells have divided over 600 times. That's over 600 chances for mistakes in copying genes. A woman's eggs, on the other hand, don't go through that process of division, so there are fewer chances for mistakes in gene replication. When there is a genetic problem in an egg, though, it's often with a whole chromosome, instead of a single gene. Down syndrome, for example, occurs when there's an extra copy of chromosome 21. Most babies with older fathers, as with older mothers, are healthy. Still, biological clocks are real, and not just for women. His biological clock is ticking too! 听力材料下载: http://tieba.baidu.com/mo/q/checkurl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdown02.putclub.com%2FHomepage%2FDailyDigest%2FAudio%2Fmaleclock.rm&urlrefer=4cab65102523ad3a4cac31f74a4711ee

买不起订婚戒指 Dear Annie: My girlfriend and I have been together for three years. When we first started dating, "Mary" unexpectedly became pregnant and we now have a beautiful child who is our life's joy. I would like to ask Mary to become my wife. Here's the problem: Money is pretty tight with a toddler, so buying an expensive engagement ring will be difficult. Is cubic zirconium worth looking into? I thought I'd get a nice-looking CZ ring and, when things settle down, maybe replace it with a real diamond. My initial thought is to be upfront with Mary and tell her. Do you think that's a good idea? We have a joint checking account, so she'll know all about my purchases. Is there a good way to mask how much the ring costs? － Perplexed in the Midwest Dear Perplexed: Don't lie to Mary about the value of the ring. Women can be very understanding about not getting a diamond, but they don't like being fooled. And if you are serious about replacing the ring later, it doesn't matter what the original is made from. As for hiding the cost, you can put aside small amounts of cash until you have enough to purchase the ring and Mary will never know what you paid for it. P.S.: Best wishes on your upcoming engagement.

移民加拿大的三大方法近期,加拿大加强对永久居民在加拿大逗留期的执法,已经有永久居民在入境时被没收枫叶卡,并被拒绝入境.一时间,居住限制条款这个沉寂已久的话题又被移民人群广泛关注.它是对移民者的迁徙自由在一定范围内和一定时间内做出限制的比喻. 移民者为了保留加拿大永久居民身份,在加拿大5年之内最短需要累积住满2年的时间.对获得加拿大永久居民身份的人来说,如果希望将生活中心彻底转到加拿大,该条件自然也不是一个问题,但是,如果生意和交际圈子仍然在国内,移民目的只是为了子女教育或是养老而移民加国的生意人来说,这一限制条件就成了很大的困扰.对生意人来说,既要生意,又要身份,实在很难做到两全其美.其实,仔细研读移民条例,我们不难发现,还是有办法让生意少受居住限制条件的影响.常见方法有三个: 方法一: 由加拿大公司派驻海外理论上最好的办法是,移民申请人或配偶被一个加拿大公司雇用,并由公司指派到中国来工作,那么移民申请人和配偶在中国工作的这段时间也可以算作在加拿大境内居住的时间而无需在加拿大居住.以往,通过这种途径保留永久居民身份者造假较多,移民官对此类案件的调查非常严格,因此申请人需要提交许多证明文件,如公司的商业执照,会计报告,与员工签署的雇用合同,工资单,所得税税单等,此外也要说明该公司外派到国外去工作的原因. 方法二: 陪伴加拿大籍配偶在国外居住移民条例规定,当配偶一方(如妻子) 4年中在加拿大,累计住满3年获取加拿大公民身份后,另外一方(如丈夫)是加拿大永久居民,即可陪伴公民加籍配偶从加拿大一起到海外,可免除在加拿大境内居住. 方法三: 通过家庭团聚重新获得移民身份如果该加拿大永久居民无法满足上述两个条件,即不是加拿大海外员工,其配偶也不是加拿大公民,移民申请人还可以在永久居民身份失效后通过申请家庭团聚来重新获得移民身份.通过这种途径有以下两种情况:一是申请人的配偶持有有效加拿大永久居民身份,通过配偶担保的方式来获得移民身份,二是申请人的满18周岁的子女在加拿大居住并有工作收入,通过子女担保的方式来获得移民身份.这两种情况的担保,由于申请人之前在申请移民时其信息资料在移民局已经确认过一次,所以再通过家庭团聚担保时,过程相对快捷很多.
