美丽动人的英语名言 夏天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了。秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱,只叹息一声,飞落在那里。 Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall, there with a sign.      世界上的一队小小的漂泊者呀,请留下你们的足印在我的文字里。 A troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words. 世界对着它的爱人,把它浩翰的面具揭下了。它变小了,小如一首歌,小如一回永恒的接吻。 The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal. 是大地的泪点,使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。 It is the tears of the earth that keep here smiles in bloom. 无垠的沙漠热烈追求一叶绿草的爱,她摇摇头笑着飞开了。 The mighty desert is burning for the love of a bladeof grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away. 如果你因失去了太阳而流泪,那么你也将失去群星了。 If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. 跳舞着的流水呀,在你途中的泥沙,要求你的歌声,你的流动呢。你肯挟瘸足的泥沙而俱下么? The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. will you carry the burden of their lameness? 她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,搅扰着我的梦魂。 Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night. 有一次,我们梦见大家都是不相识的。我们醒了,却知道我们原是相亲相爱的。 Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other. 忧思在我的心里平静下去,正如暮色降临在寂静的山林中。 Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees.
What I Have Lived for Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
名词difficulty的三个重要搭配 一、后接in doing sth difficulty后接in doing sth时,意思是“做某事有困难”,其中的介词in含有while的意思,表示“当……的时候”“在……的过程中”,整个结构的意思是“当做某事的时候有困难”“在做某事的过程中有困难”。如: We had difficulty in finding a parking place. 我们费了很大劲才找到一个停车位。 They shouldn’t have any difficulty in finding the house. 他们找这房子时大概不会有困难。 If you should have any difficulty in getting spare parts ring this number. 万一你买备件时遇到什么困难,请打这个电话号码。 One way of deciding what to do when you have difficulty in choosing the best course of action is to toss a coin. 当人们遇到困难不知选什么行动方案最好的时候,一个办法就是扔硬币来决定干什么好。 注:该结构中的介词in有时可以省略。如: I had difficulty carrying out the plan. 我执行这项计划有困难。 She was having great difficulty getting her car out, and so I had to move my car to let her out. 当时她正无法把车子开出来,所以我就移开了我的车子让她开出来。 另外,若difficulty后没有出现动名词,而是接名词,则要用with sth。如: Some people had difficulty with the lecture, but most understood. 有些人听讲有困难,但大部分人听懂了。 If you have the least difficulty with the arrangements for the conference, phone me at once. 如果你安排会议有什么困难,马上给我打电话。 二、后接about doing sth difficulty后接 about doing sth时,表示关于做某事的困难,其中的介词about意为“关于”。如: There shouldn’t be any difficulty about getting you a visa. 给你弄个签证不会有什么困难吧。 注:about后也可直接跟名词作宾语,此时的about仍表示“关于”的意思。如: There oughtn’t to have been any difficulty about it 此事本不应有什么困难。 此时还可用介词over表示类似意思。如: There doesn’t seem to have been any difficulty over the money question. 在钱的问题上似乎没发生什么困难。 三、后接of doing sth difficulty后接of doing sth时,表示做某事的困难,其中介词of表示所属关系,相当汉语的“的”字。如: He tried to explain to me the difficulty of learning to cook from books. 他向我解释照着书本学习烹饪的困难。 One of the annoyances of working here is the difficulty of parking near the office. 在这里工作有一件伤脑筋的事,就是在办公处附近很难停车。 Both “feat” and “achievement” emphasize the difficulty of accomplishing something mental or physical. feat和achievement均着重指在脑力或体力方面完成某事物的艰巨性。 注:of后也可直接跟名词作宾语,此时的介词of仍表示所属关系,意为“……的困难”。如: She has no notion of the difficulty of this problem. 她不了解这个问题的难处。 Do you understand the difficulty of my position? 你了解我处境的困难吗?

CE英语 语法容易学 英语语法其实是很容易的、很简单的。 人的思维方式决定了语言的结构,因为语言是用来表达人的思维的。只要掌握了英语的思维方式,就算是扼住了英语的脖颈。在学习和使用英语时,时刻注意汉语和英语思维的异同,便能将这只貌似凶神恶煞的“大鹅”提起来自由摆布了! 学外语,很重要的一个好习惯就是“求同辨异”,也就是要善于发现外语和母语之间的共同之处和辨别二者的不同之处并合理利用这些异同。而关键在于注意它们的相异之处。那么,汉语和英语的思维方式有哪些异同呢?别着急,且待我慢慢讲来。 其实,无论是什么语言,既然同是人类的语言,基本的思维是相同的、相通的,要不的话,各种语言之间就没有办法互相翻译了,不同语言之间就没法沟通了。汉语和英语当然也不例外。也就是说:汉语和英语的基本思维方式是相同、相通的。反映在句子结构中,这种相同表现为:二者的句子基本框架都是“主语+谓语”,主语在前,谓语在后。例如: 刘老师教英语。= Mr Liu teaches English. 刘老师在给我们讲课。= Mr Liu is giving us a lecture.   下面就着重说说英语和汉语思维方式及其表现在句子结构上的“异”。 英语的思维是相对比较“单一”的,可以说是“一维”的。这在其单词的构成、句子结构、文章结构上都明显地反映出来了:英语单词是将字母从左到右单向排列构成,而汉字则是在平面空间中的二维结构;英语句子的思路比较单一,大体上是“先主后次(先概括后细节、先总后分、先果后因)”,而汉语的句子则不受此约束;英语的文章结构也多是“先主后次(先概括后细节、先总后分、先果后因)”,而汉语的文章结构则不受此限制,且崇尚“赋比兴”等。比如中式书信开始往往要有一大套问候、铺垫,到最后才将要谈的事情说出来,而英文的书信则开门见山地直陈其事,末尾才做简短客套。 有一个日本公司和一个美国公司有商务信函往来,一开始,双方都感到对方的信函难以理解:日本人觉得美国人的来信太没礼貌,而美国人读了日本人的来函则发现净是些礼貌客套话,老半天还没还不知道对方要谈什么业务。后来,美国人找出了规律,收到日本人的来函,倒着读,先读末尾一段就够了。这个故事凸显出东西方思维的典型差异。 简而言之,英语的思维是“开门见山”型的。所以,在理解和组织英语句子时,要时刻记住:先主后次,先总后分。
英语日记范文 发现几篇英语日记范文,贴出来大家一起分享! My Happy Times During Winter Vacation       I often go to see my grandma and grandpa during winter vacation. They are both seventy years old and live in the country happily. I can do many interesting things there. I am used to getting up early in the morning and breathing the fresh air in the countryside. After snow, I would like to skate and ski with my friends. When night comes, I am used to sitting by the fire and listening to grandma telling me many funny stories. And I tell her some new things happening in the city. When I have to go back, I am always reluctant to go. I really feel happy living in the country. January 13 2005   It was the first day of our winter holiday. All of us were very happy. Why? Because we have one months to do things we love to do. We are free. Although we have some homework. But we can finish them in several days. And the rest time we can make good use of. My god! We have been very tired after hard studying. In winter holidays, I want to have full sleep and eat good food in order to replenish myself. Last but not the least, I will have a good rest.   January 14 2005   It was the second day of our winter holiday. I felt good. I felt I’m free. I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Beijing. So I live alone but I don’t feel lonely. But I didn’t do something special. I stayed at home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an English daily composition. It was my homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours. I thought I was very tired. It was time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.   January 15 2005   It was the third day of our winter holiday. Today, there are many business in my mother’s company. So my mother told me to help my uncle who is the manager of my mother’s company. I sat in my mother’s office and help her answer the telephone. While I was free, I was writing my homework. Although I also have a lot of time to do my homework, I still do it. Because in my mother’s office, I had nothing to do. If I did nothing, I was wasting my time and my life. I can’t do the foolish thing. We should take good use of our time.  
英语听力训练的目标和方法 我们网站主要是进行英语听力教学的,通过一年多的摸索和讨论,我们发现把英语训练的目标和方法结合起来对听力训练是大有好处的。    对于听力训练的目标我本人觉得分为三类比较合适:即 1、交流类 2、信息获取类 3、欣赏类        一、交流类比较简单,大家可能都有过类似的经历。当您和外国友人面对面交谈的时候,你发现比较容易领会对方的意思,而当您听两个外国友人交谈时却会觉得非常不容易理解。这种情景下对听力的要求其实并不高,只要您能够准确的听清一些关键的单词和关键的句子结构就可以理解了。好多考试中听力部分的难度也类似于这个阶段,对于考生来说,最主要的就是要尽快切入场景,之后,您就会有一种越听越顺的感觉。所以这一部分的训练目的主要是增加对常用单词和句子结构的反应能力和敏感性。我们推荐的材料是Voa special English 的Feature节目,对于准备在近期参加考试的朋友我们推荐他们同时多结合考试的模拟题结合训练。至于训练方法我们提倡使用普特三步听写法。如果有朋友觉得Special节目还比较难,我建议你们多听一些原先学过的课本,简单一些的,同时我推荐您们系统听一期中英文都有的广播英语讲座,类似的讲座比较多,美国知音,BBC和澳大利亚广播电台制作过这类节目。我强烈推荐的是澳大利亚广播英语讲座,这档节目非常出色,网友的评价很高。您可以到我们的网站下载收听。对于能够初步听懂Special节目的朋友,我们也建议您听写之余听一听这个讲座。         二、信息获取类的节目稍微要难一些。这部分主要包括一些新闻报道,综述,以及一些特写节目等。比较有代表性的就是bbc和voa的整点新闻,voa的opnion roundup的新闻评论,以及discovery,earth and sky等科普类节目。这类节目的特点是节目稿非常正规。使用非常书面的英语,所以原则上说是应该听写得出来的。对于这类节目我们推荐使用听写和半听写相结合的办法。同时辅以广泛的阅读。这样对听力练习有比较大的好处。到了这个层次团体的作用就非常有明显了。钟道隆先生把听写法推到了及至,但是他一直是孤军作战。因为他那个年代网络还不是很发达。古人说学而无友,孤陋寡闻,现在我们有条件通过网络更好的交流,我觉得大家就应该充分利用。让bbs作为听写法的一个重要组成部分,让网友们培养友谊,相互学习,我想效果应该更好。        一些比较难的英语考试应该算是这类中比较简单的节目。        三、欣赏类。这类节目很难。有的很难听懂。比较有代表性的就是英语电影,还有一些采访,以及对话内容比较多的新闻报道。由于个人都有不同的语言习惯和口音,制作时又用了一些手法追求效果,使得非母语的人听起来就相当费劲了。我们推荐半精听的方法,作为训练,我们提供有文稿,或有提示稿的节目,大家能够通过训练,能够听懂更多,因为能听懂这些节目本来就是锦上添花。而这些节目大都不规范,所以期望从那里学到英语知识,其实是一条弯路。我们只是提供材料,有利于训练和提高,对于大家在这方面的成就,只有看个人的努力了。
婴儿语 Ya?l: [In a "baby talk" cooing voice] Ready for a moment of science? D: Sure, Ya?l, but why are you talking to me like I'm a baby? Y: [Regular voice] Just making a point Don. Why did you think I was talking as if you were a baby? D: Hmmm. Because of the high, cooing tone you used? Y: You're not the only one who recognizes those features as "baby talk." Two studies, one in humans and one in rhesus monkeys, suggest that the tones mothers use to address babies are more universal than previously thought. A group of researchers recorded English-speaking mothers saying the same sentences to babies and to adults. The recordings were then played to indigenous villagers in remote Ecuador. Even though the villagers did not understand English, they could correctly identify whether the speaker was addressing a child or an adult seventy-three-percent of the time. A different team of scientists studied the role of certain high-pitched, melodic sounds called "girneys" and grunts in wild rhesus monkeys. Even though these calls were rarely produced before the birth season, once the first infants were born, the calls were used in abundance. When infants wandered away from their mothers, other females kept a close eye on them and called with grunts and girneys as they watched them. In response, the infants looked back at the callers. The observations suggest that these particular calls are directed at, and attractive to infants rather than to other mothers. In that way, the grunts and girneys are similar to human "baby talk." D: So "baby talk" may be closer to animal communication than to language? Y: There is still much to learn, but it is something to consider next time you're cooing at a baby.
Love 爱情篇 Absence to love is what wind is to fire. It extinguishes the small; it inflames the at. (Roger de Bussy-Rabutin, French writer) 离别之于爱情好比风之于火,它能将小火熄灭,使大火熊熊燃烧。(法国作家 比西-拉比旦.R.)

I Love you but I Hate you Yes relationships. It is the true test of how human we really are. How much we can accept in our fellow humans. And really how much we want to accept. If we accept too much does that make us strong. And if we don't accept enough does that make us weak. Or is it the other way around? All these things are a true test of how much you are capable of loving. We all are born into this world with one thought - I shall love and be loved. I am not afraid of love I am afraid of what too much love for the wrong reasons can do. It can make you into a person that you don't know you have become until it is all-wrong. Until the day you look in the mirror and the reflection is not yours. We marry our true love and then as time goes by we tend to lose whom we once were. And if we can't find ourselves during this time of marriage then we become a shell that will eventually crack. And your marriage will soon become a divorce statistic. Marriage is commitment to the love you have for someone but it should not be the end of your identity. Because if you let it then you will truly Love You But Hate You. Kahlil Gibran best said it many years ago in The Prophet on Marriage: We need to remember that I will love you but I will not become you. I will not allow us to become one. Love when people are like meet my other half - what? And especially when they throw in the humor meet my better half. It's there way of being all happy and cute. But is it setting yourselves up for a relationship that in time will fail? I guess it all depends on how independent of a person you were prior to becoming one. And will losing your independence really be an issue. So don't be duped into the relationship tricks. Be yourself and enjoy your partner as himself or herself not as you want them to be. Because you did fall in love with them knowing who they are.
美国就世界抗癌日(World Cancer Day)发表声明 World Cancer Day   世界抗癌日 World Cancer Day has been commemorated globally on February 4 since the 2000 World Summit Against Cancer. The United States government supports international efforts to raise cancer awareness and encourages continued endeavors to prevent, treat, and cure cancer. The U.S. also applauds the many governmental and private organizations that work tirelessly to develop and deliver safe and effective cancer diagnostics, therapies and prevention strategies for all patients--especially minorities and medically underserved populations. 自2000年举行世界抗癌峰会(World Summit Against Cancer)以来,全球每年都在2月4日纪念世界抗癌日。美国支持国际社会提高防癌意识的努力,并鼓励继续致力于预防、治疗并治愈癌症。美国还赞赏许多国家的政府与民间组织不辞辛劳地为所有患者——特别是少数群体以及缺医少药的人群,研发并提供安全有效的癌症诊断手段、治疗方法和预防策略。 The United States is a leader in the global effort to conquer cancer. The U.S. Department of State has several international projects underway that are focused on the prevention of specific cancers, notably breast and other women’s cancers. The National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health leads the domestic U.S. National Cancer Program while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention coordinates efforts in cancer screening and control, two agencies that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) oversees. Both agencies are actively engaged in a range of cooperative cancer research, training, epidemiological and clinical programs in countries around the world. 美国走在全球抗癌斗争的前列。美国 国务院正在进行多个国际项目,侧重于预防特定癌症,特别是乳腺癌和其他妇女易患的癌症。隶属于国家卫生研究院(National Institutes of Health)的国家癌症研究所(National Cancer Institute)主导美国国内的癌症研究项目;而疾病控制与预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention )则负责协调癌症筛检与控制工作。这两个在卫生与公众服务部(HHS)领导下的机构均积极地参与在世界各国展开的一系列癌症研究、培训和流行病学与临床项目合作。 Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. The World Health Organization estimates that 84 million people will die from cancer between 2005 and 2015. Nearly 70 percent of all new cases are expected to occur in low and middle-income countries, where the resources available for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer are often limited or nonexistent. 癌症是全世界一种首要的致命性疾病,据世界卫生组织(World Health Organization)估计,从2005年到2015年将有8,400万人死于癌症,近70%的新发病例将集中在低收入与中等收入国家,这些国家用于癌症的预防、诊断和治疗的资源往往很有限,甚至根本不存在。

英语学习的六大原则 我在英语学习方面是十分幸运的。在下过硬工夫的过程中,我从未感到英语学习的单调和苦闷,也未感到英语学习有多么艰难。我读过一些英语名家谈体会的书,其中有中文译本,也有英文原文本。这些书给了我很多启发,使我能够在结合自身学习英语的方法和经验的基础上,总结出符合常识的学习方法,并上升到符合英语学习规律的原则。如果你能按照这些原则一步一个脚印地去做,认认真真地去学习和体味,那么你就定能学好英语。      英语学习应遵循以下六大原则。这些原则都是"常识"性的。正如美国总统林肯所说:一个人必须依据语言、逻辑和"简单的常识"来决定问题和建立自己的行动计划。在学习英语的过程中,你按照常理去做,你就可能成功。你违背了常理,就不可能成功。当然,成功与否还取决于你的"努力"。      这一次,你若按照常理去做,并且下工夫,那你就要成功了! (一)简单原则      学习英语:从简单的开始      运用英语:简单-好、更简单-更好、最简单-最好      上大学的时侯,英语老师让我们大量阅读英语。有些同学就借来原著,第一页看下来就有20几个生词,第二页还有20几个……到了第五页已不知道第一页所云;到了第十页已不知道前九页讲的是什么。阅读变得异常艰难和单调,体会不到有任何收获,读英语原著变成了查英语词典、记忆生词的过程,变成个苦差事。因此很少有人能坚持下去,就放弃了。其中有人又做了第二次努力,结果还是放弃。原因何在?我想它违背了"循序渐进"的常理。      所谓"循序渐进"就要求你从"简单"开始。学习、使用英语都要遵守简单原则。当年,我碰巧是从英语简易读物开始的。现在,书店里有好多套把原著简写成的"简易读物"。我先读那些用500~800词简写成的读物,后来又读用800~1500词简写成的读物,再后来就读用1500~2500词简写的作品……我能读进去,因为我读懂了;读懂的感觉特别好。当一个人有了成就感时自信心就诞生了,并越来越强,也就产生了更大的兴趣。外国的英语文学作品仿佛带我走进了一个不同的国家,一个不同的文化,一个不同的生活,结识了一些不同的朋友。在走入另样的文化、生活、人物,风俗的过程中就产生了一种强烈的神往,一种强烈的欲望。每时每刻都想读!      只有从简单的开始,才容易入门,才容易产生"兴趣",才容易把事情进行下去。英语阅读应遵守"简单原则",听、说、写都应从最简单的开始,因为简单原则有巨大的优点:      1、造就成就感,培养自信。      2、增加兴趣。      3、语言朗朗上口。      4、易于学以致用。      但是很多中国学生对简单的语言往往不屑一顾,只求理解而不去尝试着使用自己学到的东西。中国学生在学英语中最喜欢追求一个字--"难"。尽管学了很多难的东西,却不会"用"。而事实上,简单的东西如能灵活、准确地使用才是真正重要的。比如从口语来说,人们并不是看一个人会说多么难的单词,关键在于看他能否熟练运用最简单的单词、句型、语法来表达情感、思想。英语国家人们日常生活的交流是通过有限数量的单词和简单的句型来完成的。      Plain English(简洁英语)在英语国家已成为趋势:即在说或写英文时都力求简单。而中国学生尽管学了很多难词,复杂的结构,但就连用简单词和结构来表达思想都做不到;有时用了很大的词,一方面不妥,再者也很难让别人明白。其实当你透彻理解英语中的"小词","简单表达方式"时,才能熟练地用简单英语交际。

美国”最快乐的州”名单出炉 美国科学学报网站12月17日的报导,佛罗里达和其他两个阳光充裕的州进入前5名,而明尼苏达州在最快乐州的名单上排在第26名。除了对美国各州的微笑指数进行评估外,这一研究也首次证明了人们自已对快乐的感受和对快乐的客观衡量相吻合。         英国沃里克大学(University of Warwick)的安德鲁·奥斯瓦德(Andrew Oswald)说,如果人们对他们生活的满意程度,给出一个定量的答复,那么最好予以关注,因为他们的答复是可靠的。他说,这说明对生活满意程度的调查数据对政府在制定经济和社会政策时非常有用。         然而,“最快乐的州”名单和上个月报导的一份类似的排名不符,在那份报导中发现,一般来说,最宽容和最富裕的州是最快乐的。 奥斯瓦德说,之前那个结果是基于每个州人们快乐指数的平均数,所以提供的结果没什么意义。         奥斯瓦德告诉LiveScience说,那项研究不能控制个人的特征,换句话说,人们能做的只是报告每个州的平均数,而那种做法的问题是,你不是在比较同类的东西,因为住在纽约的人和住在蒙大拿(Montana)的人完全不同。         奥斯瓦德和纽约哈密尔顿学院的一位经济学家、斯蒂芬·吴(Stephen Wu)采取了不同的做法,他们创造了一个代表美国人的统计模型。 比如,他们可以做到把一个高中毕业、中等收入、住在任何地方的38岁妇女迁移到另一个州,然后估计出她大致的快乐指数。奥斯瓦德说,比较克萨斯牛仔和俄亥俄州护士的快乐指数没有太大的意义。 最快乐的州包括: 1. 路易斯安那州 2. 夏威夷州 3. 佛罗里达州 4. 田纳西州 5. 亚利桑那州 6. 密西西比州 7. 蒙大拿州 8. 南卡罗林纳州 9. 阿拉巴马州 10. 缅因州 然而科学家提醒到,排在第一名的路易斯安那州,也许不能反映该州现在的情况,因为那些数据是在卡特里娜飓风之前收集的。他们相信其他州的数据准确地反映了各自的快乐指数。
