英语状语是什么比如说表示时间的时间状语，last year ,yesterday.等等或者是表示地点的，比如说 at home ,in my office等等一个句子通常是由主谓宾构成的，这是句子的主干，而宾语。状语，补语等等都是来修饰这个句子的，目的是让这个句子更完整。举个例子：I am a student,I就是主语，am就是谓语，student就是宾语，I am a student last year中的last year就是状语，是说我去年是个学生，对比第一个句子说的更加清楚，明白，表示补充~！其实英语中的状语和语文中学的状语有想同点，你可以根据自己中文的理解，去理解英文，这样有利于你理解。

纽约华尔街最青睐什么专业毕业生 Wall Street has undergone a radical face lift this year, but finance industry recruiters are expected to stick to roughly the same formula when looking to fill entry-level positions with college graduates in the future. 华尔街如今已经彻底改头换面了。不过，金融业招聘人士在寻找大学毕业生填补初级职位空缺的时候，预计仍将坚持与以往大致相同的甄选原则。 Wealth management, investment banking and research are expected to see a hiring surge in the coming years, according to Joseph Logan, founder and managing director of Pinnacle Group International, a New York executive recruiting firm specializing in the financial services industry. Pinnacle Group International的创始人兼董事总经理约瑟夫•洛根(Joseph Logan)表示，财富管理、投资银行和研究领域有望在未来几年掀起招聘热潮。Pinnacle Group International是纽约一家专业服务于金融服务业的高管猎头公司。 'A strong background in accounting plus financial [knowledge in] evaluation is the key-and being well-rounded will help a lot,' says David Smith, an associate professor at the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia who specializes in corporate finance and banking. Strong social skills and the ability to think creatively are important to round out more technical and quantitative talents. “会计和财务估值方面的过硬背景是应聘成功的关键，知识全面也会大有帮助，”弗吉尼亚大学(University of Virginia)麦金太尔商学院(McIntire School of Commerce)专门从事企业财务和银行业研究的副教授史密斯(David Smith)表示。出色的社交技能和创新思维能力对于那些偏重技术性和数理方面的人才来说是个重要的补充。 Mr. Smith, who helps prepare students for finance job interviews, advises the students who want to head to Wall Street to eschew finance fads like the current demand in restructuring or credit derivatives which were hot two years ago and focus on becoming fluent in accounting and financial evaluation fundamentals that are applicable to any specialty. As the economy recovers more traditional financial services functions, such as mergers and acquisitions advisory will make a comeback, according to Mr. Smith . 史密斯帮助学生们为金融职位面试做准备。他向那些希望在华尔街发展的学生们建议说，要避开金融业一时的潮流,比如眼下对两年前颇为流行的重组或者信用衍生品方面的人才需求，而将目光集中在像会计和财务估值基本知识这样适用于所有金融领域的研究。随着经济的复苏,那些更为传统的金融服务业务比如并购咨询行业将重新焕发活力,史密斯表示。

IDB to redirect resources to support reconstruction in Haiti The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) will redirect millions of U.S. dollars in grants to support reconstruction efforts in Haiti, IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno said Thursday. "We are working closely with other donor agencies and member nations to assist in emergency relief efforts, and we stand prepared to help our member nation in its hour of need," Moreno said in a statement. According to Moreno, the IDB can play a key role in rebuilding infrastructure and basic services in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, which was hit by a devastating 7.3-magnitude earthquake on Tuesday. The IDB has some 330 million U.S. dollars in funds to be given to Haiti, of which 90 million could be promptly redirected to reconstruction works of top priority in the Caribbean country. In addition, the IDB expects to approve up to 128 million dollars in new grants for Haiti this year, potentially providing more resources for its reconstruction. The IDB will give an emergency donation of 200,000 dollars to the Haitian government for immediate rescue works, Moreno announced on Tuesday evening. Although there are still communication problems in Haiti, the IDB staff in Port-au-Prince are safe and the bank has taken measures to evacuate its non-essential staff to the neighboring Dominican Republic or to a safe location outside the city, Moreno said. He also urged the international community to step up aid efforts to Haiti.

Chinas FDI up for fifth consecutive month in December The amount of foreign direct investment(FDI) into China rose for the fifth consecutive month in December, up 103 percent year on year to 12.1 billion U.S. dollars, said Yao Jian, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce on Friday. This brought the country's FDI to 90.03 billion U.S. dollars in2009, down 2.6 percent from that in 2008. The government approved the establishment of 23,435 overseas-funded ventures in 2009, down 14.8 percent from a year earlier. In December alone, China approved 2,835 such companies, representing a year-on-year increase of 10.7 percent. Yao said the 2009 FDI was mainly directed into manufacturing, despite a decrease of 6.26 percent year on year. This sector attracted 46.77 billion U.S. dollars FDI in 2009, accounting for 51.95 percent of the total FDI. The service sector attracted 37.87 billion U.S. dollars, down 0.67 percent from that in 2008, and accounting for 42.06 percent of the total. Actual use of the FDI in the real estate sector stood at 16.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2009, a decrease of 9.65 percent annually. In 2009, China's non-financial investment in overseas markets was 43.3 billion U.S. dollars, up 6.5 percent year on year. Of the total investment in overseas markets, 40.4 percent or 17.5 billion U.S. dollars was used in mergers and acquisition, technology introduction, marketing, and energy and resources, said Yao.

Obama recommends financial risk responsibility fee on big bank U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday proposed a financial risk responsibility fee on the country's big banks, as a way to get taxpayers' bailout money back and curb huge bonuses for bank executives.

China, Saudi Arabia to boost trade Bilateral trade between China and Saudi-Arabia could "far exceed" the goal of $60 billion by 2015 and further strengthen trade ties with the Middle Eastern region, said experts yesterday. During his recent trip to Saudi Arabia, the world's major oil exporter and also the largest oil supplier to China, Minister of Commerce Chen Deming said "both sides want to increase trade volume to $60 billion by 2015 after the target of $40 billion (for 2010) was reached ahead of time in 2008". "It (the goal) is a conservative estimate. There is high possibility that the China-Saudi Arabia trade would far exceed the target by 2015, as bilateral relations are getting stronger and the two nations' industries are highly complementary," said Tang Zhichao, director of Middle East Studies with China Institute of Contemporary International Relations.

英语动词时态的分析 1 一般现在时 A 表示现在发生的动作、情况、状态和特征。 B 习惯用语。 C 经常性、习惯性动作。 D 客观事实和普遍真理。尤其要注意，如果前后文不是一般现在时，则无法保持主句、从句时态一致。 E 表示一个按规定、计划或安排要发生的动作，可以与表示未来时间的状语搭配使用。常见的用法是：飞机、火车、轮船、汽车等定期定点运行的交通方式。 F 在时间和条件状语从句里经常用一般现在表示将来事情。 2 现在进行时(be doing) 3 现在完成时(have done) A 表示动作到现在为止已经完成或刚刚完成。 B 表示从过去某时刻开始，持续到现在的动作或情况，并且有可能会继续延续下去。此时经常用延续性动词。时间状语常用since加一个过去的时间点，或for加一段时间，或by加一个现在时间。 A 现在完成时是联系过去和现在的纽带。现在完成时和过去时的区别在于：现在完成时强调动作的动态，或受动态的影响，是动态的结果，对现在有影响；过去时只表示过去的某个具体时间里发生的动作，与现在没有联系。B 因为含有for加一段时间或since加一个时间点这样的时间状语的完成时，有动态和延续性的特点，所以不能使用终端动词或瞬间动词。 C 在"this is the first/ second/ third…… time that……"句型里要求用完成时。 D 句型"It is/ has been……since"所使用的两种时态都正确。 E 在"no sooner than"、"hardly/ scarcely ……when"、"before"、"prior to"等句型中，主句要求完成时。 4 现在完成进行时(have been doing) 5 一般过去时 A 表示过去某个时间发生的动作或情况。 B 表示过去习惯性动作。特别是由would/ used to do表达的句型，本身表示的就是过去时。 C 有时可代替一般现在时，表达一种婉转、客气、礼貌、商量的语气。 7 过去将来时(would/ should do) 表示从过去的某个时间看将要发生的事。 8 过去进行时(was/ were doing) A 表示在过去一个比较具体的时间正在发生的动作。 B 如果when, while这样的时间状语引导词所引导的主从句之一是一般过去时，则另一个句子常用过去进行时。 9 一般将来时 A 基本结构是will / shall do。 B 有些动词，用于一般进行时，并且通常与一个表示将来时间的时间状语连用，可以表示将来时。 C 表示“打算去……，要……”时，可用be going to do。 D 表示“即将、正要”时，可用be about to do。 E "be to do"的5种用法： a 表示“按计划、安排即将发生某事或打算做某事”。 b 该做或不该做的事情,表示一种命令、规劝性语气。 c 能或不能发生的事情d 不可避免将要发生的事情，后来将要发生的事情。 e 用于条件从句“如果……想，设想”（接近if ……want to,或if ……should） F 同样可以表示“正要、将要”的意思的句型是be on the point of doing。在以if, when, as long as, as soon as, after, before, in case, until, unless等连词以及具有连词作用的副词（immediately, the moment, directly）等引导的状语从句，一般用现在时代替将来时。强调延续性或动态时，可用完成时。 10 将来进行时(will be doing) 11 将来完成时(will have done) 用法：表示从将来的某一时间开始、延续到另一个将来时间的动作或状态，或是发生在某个将来时间，但对其后的另一个将来时间有影响的动作或状态。就好象把现在完成时平移到时间轴的将来时时段一样。其用法从和过去及现在有关，变成了和将来及将来的将来有关。 12将来完成进行时：shall have been doing ，will have been doing 13过去完成进行时：had been doing 14 过去将来进行时：should be doing , would be doing 15 过去将来完成时：should have done , would have done 16 过去将来完成进行时：should have been doing , would have been doing

看《阿凡达》会感到头痛？ Avatar has become the fastest film to make $1 billion in ticket sales.Watching 3D films such as Avatar could give some viewers headaches, experts have warned. Watching 3D films such as Avatar could give some viewers headaches, experts have warned. The success of James Cameron's science-fiction blockbuster, which has already taken more than $1 billion (ā600 million) at the box office, is fuelling a surge in popularity for three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets. But prolonged viewing may result in an aching head, according to Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmologyprofessor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. He said: "There are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, for example a minor muscle imbalance, which under normal circumstances the brain deals with naturally." Watching a 3D movie confronts viewers with an entirely new sensory experience. "That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said. Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said: "If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert. This disparity for some people will give them a headache." Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film. Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took offbefore. But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads. 专家日前警告说，观看《阿凡达》这样的3D电影会让人感到头痛。詹姆斯卡梅隆的科幻大片《阿凡达》目前已创下超过10亿美元（6亿英镑）的惊人票房。该片的成功开启了3D电影和3D电视的新时代。但芝加哥西北大学费恩柏格医学院的眼科学教授迈克尔罗森堡博士说，长时间观看3D电影可能会导致头痛。他说：“很多人的眼睛都有点小毛病，比如眼部肌肉轻微不平衡，在正常情况下大脑可以自然应对这种问题。” 观看3D电影会给观众带来一种全新的视觉体验。他说：“这就需要更多的脑力劳动，容易引起头痛。” 纽约罗彻斯特大学医学中心的眼科学和神经学教授戴伯拉弗瑞德曼博士说：“如果你的眼睛本来就有点小问题，那么在观影时你的大脑就会相当费劲。这种失衡会让有些人感到头痛。” 专家说，现在尚无研究追踪调查人们在看完3D电影后感到头痛的情形究竟有多普遍。为影院提供3D设备的RealD公司的发言人瑞克海涅曼说，3D技术一直未兴起的主要原因就是它会让观影者感到头痛和恶心。但他说，新的数码技术解决了以前导致头痛的很多问题。 Vocabulary: blockbuster:something, such as a film or book, that sustains widespread popularity and achieves enormous sales 卖座的大片 ophthalmology:the branch of medicine that deals with the anatomy, functions, pathology, and treatment of the eye 眼科学 take off:to achieve wide use or popularity 被广泛使用，受欢迎（a new movie that took off 一部很受欢迎的新电影）

Overweight middle-aged men may die earlier NEW YORK - Overweight middle-aged men may have a higher risk of heart problems and strokes and die earlier than their thinner peers -- even in the absence of some traditional risk factors, a new study suggests. Some past research has suggested that when obese and overweight adults do not have the so-called metabolic syndrome, their risks of diabetes, heart disease and stroke are no higher than those of normal-weight people. Metabolic syndrome refers to a collection of risk factors for diabetes and heart problems -- including abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, low levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and high triglycerides (another type of blood fat). It is typically diagnosed when a person has three or more of those conditions. In the current study, which followed more than 1,700 Swedish men for 30 years, overweight and obese men had increased risks of conditions including heart attack and stroke, even when in the absence of metabolic syndrome. Among all men without metabolic syndrome, those who were overweight were 52 percent more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, and other complications than normal-weight men were, while obese men had nearly double the risk. The findings are published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation. "Our study shows that overweight (and) obese men without the metabolic syndrome are at higher risk" for heart disease, stroke, and other related conditions, study leader Dr. Johan Arnlov, of Uppsala University in Sweden, told Reuters Health by email. "This is in contrast to some previous studies that have suggested that obesity in the absence of the metabolic syndrome is a 'healthy' condition." The study does, however, point up the added threat of having metabolic syndrome. Obese men with metabolic syndrome had the highest risks -- showing 2.5 times the risk of heart disease and stroke, and related conditions, and of death, during the study period as men who were normal-weight and free of metabolic syndrome at the outset. In addition, metabolic syndrome was harmful for normal-weight men as well; those with the condition were 63 percent more likely to develop heart disease, stroke, and related conditions than their counterparts who were free of metabolic syndrome. According to Arnlov, the findings suggest that weight loss should be a goal for heavy men, regardless of whether they have metabolic syndrome. At the same time, being thin does not mean equate to a healthy heart -- though, Arnlov pointed out, metabolic syndrome is much more common among overweight people. The findings are based on 1,758 men who, at the outset, were 50 years old and free of diabetes and previous hospitalizations for heart disease, stroke, and related conditions. Of the 955 normal-weight men, 64 had metabolic syndrome, as did 125 of 707 overweight men, and 66 of 96 obese men. Over the next 30 years, 681 men suffered a heart attack, stroke or other major related complication. A total of 845 died. Heavy men without metabolic syndrome had increased risks of such complications and death even with age, smoking and levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol taken into account. It is not entirely clear why overweight men were at increased risk, but one issue the study did not address was physical fitness, AHA spokesman Dr. Barry Franklin noted in the news release from the heart association. He suggested that as a "New Year's resolution," overweight adults recognize that there are health benefits to be gained from shedding even a few pounds through diet changes and exercise. Arnlov said that future studies should look at whether similar findings are seen in women. However, he added, "I don't think we should consider obesity without the metabolic syndrome to be benign in women just because we don't have the data yet."

笑是最好的良药 Why do we laugh? For years scientists have asked themselves this question. No other animals laugh and smile--only human beings, so does laughter help us to survive in any way? The answer seems to be that smiling and laughter help us to relax, reducing tension and preventing illnesses which are caused by stress. Laughter really is the best medicine! But if you're unhappy, it can't do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Apparently the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear--just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted didn't cause changes, but when the actors smiled their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. This happened even though they were only acting! So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better. A sense of humor also helps to keep things in perspective. Interfering friends or a flat tyre won't seem quite so bad if you can see the funny side. So if you find yourself in a stressful situation, try to imagine how if must seem to an outsider with a sense of humor and let yourself giggle. A psychologist writes:"If people try to show a positive reaction instead of a negative one, this will eventually become part their personality. If you start to laugh, in time you will actually become happier."

拥有幸福婚姻一桩美满的婚姻并不仅仅意味着两人间的资源共享，它还会给予你更多的感情支持并赋予你迈向成功的勇气。以下是我在婚姻生活中会定期做的12件事。只要你合理地最大化地运用它们，就可以收获一桩美满的婚姻。 From my perspective, once you enter into the realm of marriage, building and maintaining a successful marriage is actually a big part of personal and financial success. A solid marriage not only results in people sharing resources together, but a marriage also provides a lot of emotional support, cheerleading, and encouragement to succeed. What follows are twelve little things I do quite regularly in my marriage. Please, use as many of these as seem reasonable. I tell my wife I love her every single day. I usually do it in the morning before she leaves the bedroom, and on weekdays I'll also tell her when I see her in the evening for the first time. I usually couple it with a kiss. It's so simple, but it's a constant reminder of the fact that I do love her, no matter what. I ask about her day, listen, and ask follow up questions. I do this not only so I can keep tabs on her professional life, but also to give her a great chance to vent about her situation. Everyone needs to talk about themselves sometimes to someone who is interested - I try to provide that for her as often as I can. I try to surprise her on a regular basis. I'll spend an hour preparing a really excellent supper when she doesn't expect it. I'll spontaneously give the kids a bath when she's comfortable on the couch under a blanket, even if it's her turn. Doing these little unexpected things not only shows her I care, but also often compels her to do similar things for me. I hold her hand. I do this all the time, whenever it crosses my mind and seems appropriate. I'll just hold her hand gently while we're talking or we're riding in the car or we're waiting for an appointment or we're sitting on the couch in the evenings. I talk about EVERYTHING with her and let her determine what's interesting. If something is concerning me, I don't hide it from her. I tell her about it. Most of the time she's interested and we'll discuss it - sometimes she's not and I let it drop (this is key - if she's not into the topic, I don't push it). Either way, though, she gets the message that I'm making an effort to share and be open. I work on building a positive relationship with her family. Whenever I visit or see anyone in her family, I make a special effort to try to establish or build upon a strong relationship with them. This accomplishes several things: it makes her more at ease in a family situation, it helps me to build stronger ties with people that are important to her, and it helps me to understand the influences that were around her as she grew up. I send her messages during the day. About once a week, during a time where my wife is really present in my thoughts, I send her a little simple note by email. All it says is something along the lines of "I was thinking about you just now. I can't wait until I see you this evening." It's just a very simple way of letting her know she's on my mind and in my heart.

any minute:意思是随时,马上今天我们来学习any minute的用法，解释：随时，马上。例句： She should be here at any minute. 她马上就到。 They are going to announce it any minute now. 他们随时会宣布结果。 The baseball game has been going on for 3 hours so it should be finished any minute now.这场棒球赛已经进行了三小时，所以随时都可能结束。 Hang on Paul, the ambulance will be here any minute. 保罗，坚强点，救护车马上就到了。

photobomb:意外出现在照片背景中,破坏了整张照片 photobomb的意思是有人或物意外出现在照片的背景中，而他们本不该出现在那里，破坏了整张照片的感觉。例如：哈哈，下面看例句： The most common photobomb is someone in the background making a face. 最常见的“图片炸弹”是有人在后面做鬼脸。 A: Hey why is jimmy in the background of our prom picture? 嘿，为什么吉米会出现在我们舞会照片的后面？ B: I don't know, he must have photobombed it at the last second. 我不知道，一定是拍照的最后一秒他出现了。

Strong quake strikes off California coast A strong earthquake measuring 6.5 magnitude on the Richter scale hit the coast of Northern California Saturday afternoon, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The quake struck at about 4:27 p.m. local time and was centered about 33 miles (53 kilometers) from Eureka, a city along the Northern California coast, according to information posted on the USGS website. There were no reports of fatalities so far but there were some injuries and damages as well as power outrages in several coastal communities, local media reported. According to the USGS, the quake was felt as far south as Capitola, a central California coastal city, and as far north as Tiller in the U.S. state of Oregon. No tsunami warnings were issued. On Thursday and Friday, two light quakes of 4.1 and 3.8 magnitude had rattled the U.S. San Francisco Bay Area.

教你英语学习的六大诀窍 1、投资我们的时间和心智。我们并不傻，有足够的智慧和大脑空间来消化储存那些ABCD。别人能学会，我们也能学会，只要我们善于投资自己的时间。上帝赋于我们每日24小时，上班8小时，睡觉7小时，三餐饭2小时，莫名其妙kill2小时，无论如何应有1小时来学习。越忙的人，越有时间做事；越闲越懒散的人，越找不到时间来做事。 2、要从心底滋生出一种对英语的喜爱之情。把学英语当成一个开心而愉快的美差，而不是硬着头皮、头悬梁、锥刺骨的苦力。因此，先要从简单的入手，找一本好教材或一本故事书(生词量不超过30%)悉心研读，默识揣摸，就会有收获感，尝到甜头，进而信心更足，如开始就啃一本词汇量太大，没有词典看不下去的书，只会扼杀学习兴趣，降低情绪，最终放弃。 3、要有自我约束力，且称之为“心力”吧。春来不是读书天，夏日炎炎正好眠，秋来蚊虫冬又冷，背起书包待明年。总有一些理由不学习。这样下去，我们的英语之树永远长不大。古人云：“人静而后安，安而能后定，定而能后慧，慧而能后悟，悟而能后得。”很有道理。在四川大足佛教石刻艺术中，有一组大型佛雕《牧牛图》，描绘了一个牧童和牛由斗争、对抗到逐渐融合、协调，最后合而为一的故事。佛祖说：“人的心魔难伏，就象牛一样，私心杂念太多太多；修行者就要象牧童，修炼他们，驯服他们，以完美自已的人生。”我们学英语也一样，要能够驯服那些影响我们学习的大牛、小牛，抵制各种诱惑，集中精力，专心学习。 4、要有信心。英语不过是表达思想的一种工具、一种说话习惯而已。我们要坚信，只要有投入，有付出，就会有收获。绝不会“付出的爱收不回。” 5、要有实际行动。一个真正的马拉松运动员绝不会空等奥林匹克金牌从天下掉下来，现在就行动起来。 6、要有连续性、持续性。学英语是一个漫长的过程，走走停停便难有成就。比如烧开水，在烧到80度时停下来，等水冷了又烧，没烧开又停，如此周而复始，又费精力又费电，很难喝到水。学英语要一鼓作气。天天坚持，在完全忘记之前及时复习、加深印象，如此反复，直至形成永久性记忆。如果等到忘记了再来复习，就象又学新知识一样，那么，我们就永远是初学者，虽然在辛辛苦苦地烧开水，却难品味到其甘润。

英语中有多少种时态 1. 一般现在时 1) 表示现在发生的动作、情况、状态和特征。 2)习惯用语 3) 经常性、习惯性动作。 4) 客观事实和普遍真理。尤其要注意，如果前后文不是一般现在时，则无法保持主句、从句时态一致。 5) 表示一个按规定、计划或安排要发生的动作，（仅限于某些表示“来、去、动、停、开始、结束、继续”等的动词）可以与表示未来时间的状语搭配使用。 6) 在时间和条件状语从句里经常用一般现在（有时也用现在完成时）表将来事情。 2. 现在进行时(be doing) 的用法 3. 现在完成时(have done) 1) 表示动作到现在为止已经完成或刚刚完成。 2) 表示从过去某时刻开始，持续到现在的动作或情况，并且有可能会继续延续下去。此时经常用延续性动词。时间状语常用since加一个过去的时间点，或for加一段时间，或by加一个现在时间。 3) 表示发生在过去，但对现在仍有影响的动作或情况。通常用点动词，如：arrive, begin, find, give, lose等。 4. 现在完成进行时(have been doing) 1) 表示某一动作开始于过去某一时间，延续或重复地出现至今，或将继续延续至将来。 2)与现在完成时相比，现在完成进行时更强调：在从过去到现在的时间里，动作或状态一直持续或一直反复出现。 5. 一般过去时 1) 表示过去某个时间发生的动作或情况。 2) 表示过去习惯性动作。特别是由would/ used to do表达的句型，本身表示的就是过去时。 3) 有时可代替一般现在时，表达一种婉转、客气、礼貌、商量的语气。 6. 过去完成时(had done) 表示在过去的某个时间或动作以前已经发生的动作或已经存在的状态。就是我们常说的：表示"过去的过去的动作或状态。 7. 过去将来时(would/ should do) 表示从过去的某个时间看将要发生的事。 8. 过去进行时(was/ were doing) 1) 表示在过去一个比较具体的时间正在发生的动作。 2) 如果when, while这样的时间状语引导词所引导的主从句之一是一般过去时，则另一个句子常用过去进行时。 9. 一般将来时 1) 基本结构是will / shall do。 2) 有些动词，如：arrive, be close, come, do, done, go, have, leave, open, play, return, sleep, start, stay等，用于一般进行时，并且通常与一个表示将来时间的时间状语连用，可以表示将来时。 3) 表示“打算去……，要……”时，可用be going to do。 4) 表示“即将、正要”时，可用be about to do。 5) 关于"be to do"的5种用法： 10. 将来进行时(will be doing)强调在将来的某个具体时间正在发生的动作或事。 11. 将来完成时(will have done) 1) 用法：表示从将来的某一时间开始、延续到另一个将来时间的动作或状态，或是发生在某个将来时间，但对其后的另一个将来时间有影响的动作或状态。就好象把现在完成时平移到时间轴的将来时时段一样。其用法从和过去及现在有关，变成了和将来及将来的将来有关。

假如我又回到了童年 If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. "There are only two creatures," syas a proverb, "who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail." If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begain early enough. I often hear grown up people say "I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so", and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth. If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power. 假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干，我们要光明，就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有两种——鹰和蜗牛。”假如我又回到了童年，我就要养成专心致志的习惯；有事在手，就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记：优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯，它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说：“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。假如我现在能重新开始我的生命，我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法，并且在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西，在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事，只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。 If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice," syas a wise author. We too often borrow trouble, and anticipate that may never appear."The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear." Dangers will arise in any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them. Be prepared for any fate, and there is no harm to be freared. If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, I smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. "shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love." If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say no more often. I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy. If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends, and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable. Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would , if I were a boy again, I would still try harder to make others happy. 假如我又回到了童年，我就要培养勇气。一位明智的作家曾说过：“世上没有东西比勇气更温文尔雅，也没有东西比懦怯更残酷无情。”我们常常过多地自寻烦恼，杞人忧天。“怕祸害比祸害本身更可怕。”凡事都有危险，但镇定沉着往往能克服最严重的危险。对一切祸福做好准备，那么就没有什么灾难可以害怕的了。假如我又回到了童年，我就要事事乐观。生活犹如一面镜子：你朝它笑，它也朝你笑；如果你双眉紧锁，向它投以怀疑的目光，它也将还以你同样的目光。内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心，也温暖了所有与之接触者的心。“谁拒爱于门外，也必将被爱拒诸门外。”假如我又回到了童年，我就要养成经常说“不”字的习惯。一个少年要能挺得起腰，拒绝做不应该做的事，就因为这事不值得做。我可以写上好几页谈谈早年培养这一点的重要性。假如我又回到了童年，我就要要求自己对伙伴和朋友更加礼貌，而且对陌生人也应如此。在坎坷的生活道路上，最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬天为我们歌唱的小鸟，那歌声使冰天雪地的寒冬变得较易忍受。最后，假如我又回到了童年，我不会力图为自己谋幸福，好像这就是人生唯一的目的；与之相反，我要更努力为他人谋幸福。

妈妈的礼物 There was a woman who had three sons. When they had grown up the sons left home went out on their own and prospered years later. Getting back together they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother. 一个女人有3个儿子。长大成人后，儿子们纷纷出外谋生，数年后功成名就。回到家乡，他们聚在一起，商量送什么礼物给年迈的母亲。 The first said "I will build a big house for our mother." 第一个说：“我要给母亲建一所大房子。” The second said "I will send her a Mercedes with a driver." 第二个说：“我要把一辆梅塞德斯连同司机一起送给母亲。” The third said "Remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible And you know she can't see very well. I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot recites it." 第三个说：“你们还记得吧？妈妈特别喜欢读《圣经》。你们也知道，她的眼现在有点花了。我要送她一只非同寻常的鹦鹉，这只鹦鹉可以将整部《圣经》背诵下来，神父们花了12年的时间才教会它。妈妈只需要说出篇章、段落，这只鹦鹉就能把它背出来。” Soon thereafter mom sent out her letters of thanks. 之后不久，母亲给儿子们分别回信表示感谢。 "Milton" she wrote to one son "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room but I have to clean the whole house." “米尔顿，”她在信中给一个儿子写道，“你为我建的房子实在有点太大了，我只住一个房间，却需要打扫整所房子。” "Gerald" she wrote to another "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude" “杰罗德，”她给另一个儿子写道，“我太老了，不能再出去旅游了。大部分时间我都待在家里，那辆梅塞德斯很少用。而且，那个司机也太粗鲁了！” "Dearest Donald" she wrote to her third son "you have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious." “我最亲爱的唐纳德，”在给第三个儿子的信中她写道，“你最知道妈妈需要什么，那只小鸡非常好吃。”

China imposes anti-dumping measures on imported food additives China's Ministry of Commerce (MOC)announced Monday that it is to impose temporary anti-dumping measures on food additives imported from Thailand and Indonesia. The preliminary ruling required importers of disodium 5'-inosinate, disodium 5'-guanylate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide to place deposits starting Tuesday, said a statement on the MOC website. The statement said companies from the two countries had dumped the additives on the Chinese market and this had caused substantial damage to the domestic industry. The statement also listed deposit rates for products imported from the two Indonesian companies of PT. Cheil Jedang Indonesia and PT. Kirin Miwon Foods at 16.9 percent and 8.1 percent respectively, and a 6.5-percent rate for the Ajinomoto Co., (Thailand) Ltd. For all the other food additives companies from the two countries, a temporary 29.7 percent deposit rate would be implemented, the statement said, but it gave no details on when a final ruling would come. The ministry had launched an anti-dumping investigation into imported additives from Indonesia and Thailand in March last year. The additives are mainly used in monosodium glutamate, soy sauce and other condiments to enhance flavor.

The girl on the train 火车上的女孩 I had the compartment on the train to myself up to Rohana, and then a girl got on. The couple seeing her off were probably her parents, they seemed very anxious about her comfort, and the woman gave the girl detailed instructions as to where to keep her things, when not to lean out of windows, and how to avoid speaking to strangers. As I had become blind by then, I could not tell what the girl looked like, but I knew she wore slippers from the way they slapped against her heels, and I liked the sound of her voice. "Are you going all the way to Dehra Dun?" I asked her as the train pulled out of the station. I must have been sitting in a dark corner, because my voice startled her. She gave a little exclamation, and said, "I didn't know anyone else was here." Well, it often happens that people with good eyesight fail to see what is right in front of them. They have too much to observe, I suppose, whereas those who cannot see take in what registers most telling on their remaining senses. "I didn't see you either at first," I said. "But I heard you come in." I wondered if I would be able to prevent her from discovering that I couldn't see. I thought, provided I keep to my seat, it shouldn't be too difficult. "I'm getting down at Saharanpur," the girl said. "My aunt is meeting me there. Where are you going?" "To Dehra Dun, and then to Mussoorie," I replied. "Oh, lucky you! I wish I were going to Mussoorie. I love the mountains. Especially in October." "Yes, this is the best time." I said, calling on my memories when I could see. "The hills are covered with wild dahlias, the sun is delicious, and at night you can sit in front of a log fire and drink a little brandy. Most of the tourists have gone, and the roads are quiet and almost deserted." She was silent, and I wondered if my words had touched her, or whether she thought me a romantic fool. Then I made a miShe seemed to find nothing strange in the question. Had she noticed already that I could not see? But her next question removed my doubts. "Why don't you look out of the window?" she asked quite naturally. I moved easily along the berth and felt for the window ledge. The window was open and I faced it, making a pretense of studying the landscape. In my mind's eye, I could see the telegraph posts flashing by. "Have you noticed," I ventured, "that the trees seem to be moving while we seem to be standing still?" "That always happens," she said. I turned from the window and faced the girl, and for a while we sat in silence. "You have an interesting face," I commented. I was becoming quite daring, but it was a safe remark, few girls can resist flattery. She laughed pleasantly, a clear, ringing laugh. "It's nice to be told that," she said. "I'm so tired of people telling me that I have a pretty face." Oh, so you do have a pretty face, thought I, and aloud I said, "Well, an interesting face can also be pretty." "You are very gallant," she said. "But why are you so serious?" "We'll soon be at your station," I said rather abruptly. "Thank goodness it's a short journey. I can't bear to sit in a train for more than two or three hours." Yet I was prepared to sit there for almost any length of time, just to listen to her talking. Her voice had the sparkle of a mountain stream. As soon as she left the train, she would forget our brief encounter, but it would stay with me for the rest of the journey, and for some time after. The engine's whistle shrieked, the carriage wheels changed their sound and rhythm. The girl got up to collect her things. I wondered if she wore her hair in a bun, or if it hung down loose over her shoulders, or if it was cut very short. The train drew slowly into the station. Outside, there was the shouting of porters and vendors and, near the carriage door, a highpitched female voice that must have belonged to the girl's aunt. "Goodbye," said the girl. She was standing very close to me, so close that the perfume from her hair was tantalizing. I wanted to raise my hand and touch her hair, but she moved away, and only the perfume still lingered where she had stood. There was some confusion in the doorway. A man getting into the compartment, stammered an apology. Then the door banged shut, and the world was closed out again. I returned to my berth. The guard blew his whistle and we moved off. The train gathered speed, the wheels took up their song, the carriage groaned and shook. I found the window and sat in front of it, staring into daylight that was darkness for me. Once again I had a game to play and a new fellow traveller. "She was an interesting girl," I said. "Can you tell me -- did she keep her hair long or short?" "I don't remember," he replied, sounding puzzled. "It was her eyes I noticed, not her hair. She had such beautiful eyes, but they were of no use to her -- she was completely blind. Didn't you notice?"

Shoppers jostle for bargains Shoppers jostle for bargains 英国名店促销顾客拼抢 Fights broke out at some of Britain's top stores Saturday as shoppers jostled for the best bargains at the Boxing Day sales, the Daily Mail reported. Police had to be called to Gucci's flagship store in West London, after a fracas just before the doors opened at 10 am. According to shoppers at the designer store, where handbags, shoes and other goods were being sold at half price, a police van and 4 patrol cars raced to the scene after reports of punches being thrown. 据英国《每日邮报》报道，26日是节礼日(圣诞节次日)，英国一些名店打折促销，顾客争相抢购，甚至引发打斗。在伦敦西区的Gucci旗舰店，手提包、鞋子等商品均半价销售，10点钟开门之前就爆发了骚乱，警方不得不出动了警用小卡车和4辆巡逻车赶赴现场。

英语快速阅读十法在英语学习中，阅读速度的快慢与对所读内容的理解密切相关。我在英语教学的过程中发现，不少同学之所以在阅读方面不过硬，主要是因为没有从一开始就注意养成一种良好的阅读习惯。在阅读英语文章时，困难往往来自于构成语言材料本身的单词，它们只有在构成了短语、句子或段落之后才能显示其确切的意义。可是刚开始时，由于没有经过训练，许多同学不是以短语、句子或段落为单位进行阅读的。看上去读得很仔细，生怕漏掉什么，不放过每一个单词，或者放声念出，或者默读牢记；而且还不厌其烦地把刚刚看过的单词又重新读起来，认为只有这样回头重读才心里放心。结果只能事倍功半，大大地减慢了阅读的速度。刚开始执教时，由于没有经验，我按照自己过去的学习方法，让学生一个个字母去拼读单词，然后再通过一个个单词去读句子，认为这才是阅读的艺术。事实正好相反，在用这种机械的方法培养的学生中，有40%的人无法快速阅读。我反思了自己的教学，认识到必须换之以科学的方法，才能培养同学的兴趣，把英语学好。实践证明，好的阅读习惯是完全可以通过训练养成的，几乎所有的人都可以掌握快速阅读的技巧，提高阅读理解能力。为了帮助学生们提高英语阅读速度，我摒弃了以前那种“按部就班”的做法。从具体情况出发，在点点滴滴中做起，纠正那些不利于快速阅读的毛病，代之以如下十种方法。 ●如果阅读时喜欢口中念念有词，因而放慢了阅读速度，可以用手指紧紧按压上下嘴唇，便能慢慢地改掉这一不良习惯。 ●若阅读时爱用手指点着单词读，这时强迫自己用双手把书捧起，那么手指就无法再去点单词了。 ●有的人在阅读的时候脑袋会随着目光的移动而摇摆，结果使速度受到影响。可以尝试着用双手紧紧夹住头部，不让其摇动。 ●在遇上生词而使阅读受阻时，设法根据上下文，大胆地去猜想生词的含义，以后再查阅词典来弄清楚其确切意义。 ●尽可能地安排好阅读的时间和地点，通过调整好周围的环境，创造出那种就要阅读的氛围，以排除干扰。阅读时不要开小差，强迫自己把所有的注意力集中到所读的英文材料上。 ●尽量使目光快速地从一个个的英语单词中一跃而过，力争把一段文字浏览了一遍之后，能够从Who（“谁”，指人物）、What（“什么”，指事情）、When（“何时”，指时间）、Where（“何地”，指地点）或Why（“为什么”，指原因）方面理解其大概的意思。 ●事先计算好段落或文章的字数，估计一下阅读所需要的大概时间，然后把闹钟拨到相应的位置上，看能否在限定的时间内读完。随着阅读熟练程度的提高，可以把限定的时间渐渐地缩短。 ●在快速读完一段或一个章节之后，停下来把读过的内容的要点在心里归纳一下。然后再通过复习进行检查，看小结得是否正确。 ●不要因为在阅读时生怕会漏掉什么而回头再读。其实，这种担心纯属多余。他们最终会惊讶地发现，并没有把文章中重要的内容遗漏掉。至于丢掉一些无关紧要的只言片语，那有何妨？ ●在英语句子中，名词和动词最为重要。在阅读时，试着只扫一眼句子里的这两种词类，看效果如何。刚开始时，由于不习惯，可以在这些关键的英语单词下面划横线，以便帮助阅读；可一旦养成习惯后，便应该停止划线。

telecountdown:意思是在电话里进行新年倒数 2010年即将到来，这时你可能身在外地，无法与家人爱人团聚，无法一起在新年即将到来的时刻倒数吗？现在科技如此发达，大家可以使用网络视频，网络音频，电话来一起进行倒数。今天介绍的新词汇就是telecountdown，这个词由两部分构成，前面的tele代表telephone或者mobile phone，后面的count down意思是倒数，说到这里，大家一定知道telecountdown的意思了，那就是通过电话一起新年倒数。例句： Kyle, Let's telecountdown together tonight. 凯尔，今晚我们通过电话一起新年倒数吧

I got you什么意思？怎么翻译解释？美国人很喜欢讲一句话就是 I got you. 您知道在美语的发音过程当中经常会有很多的连音。所以当I got you 这三个字读得快一点的时候就会变成 I gotcha。什么意思呢？指的就是我了解您所说的，我知道了。还有一种是小朋友玩的躲猫猫游戏中，如果被抓到了，也会说 I got you ，这时意思是躲也没用，我已经抓到你了。在成人的感情世界里面如果是被对方 I gotcha 的话，通常都不会有什么好的下场和结果。知道了吗？ I gotcha. 例句： Leo: What time do you want me to meet later in the library? Ann: How does 7:30 sound? After the dinner will be good for us. Leo: Sounds great. Ann: Don’t forget to bring your assignment and textbook. Leo: Gotcha. Ann: And please inform Dave come to the library after 8:30 p.m. Leo: Will do. Ann: I’ll see you then. 里欧：你要我几点钟到图书馆和你碰面？安：7:30 如何？吃过晚餐后应该合适。里欧：很好。安：别忘了要带你的作业和教科书。里欧：知道了。安：还有请通知大卫在8:30以后再到图书馆来。里欧：会的。安：那就晚上见了。

怎么用英语介绍你最爱的颜色 RED: With its aggressive, stimulating and sexy nature, assertiveattention and provoking action, the red is impossible to ignore. 红色：气质咄咄逼人，令人振奋而本性魅惑，彰显自信和挑战，这样的颜色自然不容忽视。 PINK: Depending on its saturation or value, pink evokes varied mood swings. Magentaand fuchsiaare perceived as sensual and theatrical. But water-downthe red in lighter pinks and the raw sensualityof red is replaced with gentle romanticism. 粉红：根据饱和度和色值的不同，粉红可以引起不同的情绪振动。品红和紫红被视为性感夸张，但用浅粉冲淡红色之后，原始的诱惑感觉就会被柔和的浪漫情愫取代。 ORANGE: Inheriting some of the drama of red, orange is temperedby the friendly humour of yellow. It’s the colour that stimulates the appetite and radiates with warmth and vitality. 橙色：继承了红色的张扬，又被黄色的婉转所中和，橙色能有效促进食欲，也是放射着温暖活力的颜色。 YELLOW: Yellow and black is the most unignorable colour combination in nature - tigers, stingingbees - it’s the colour that says: you’d better pay attention to me. 黄色：黄色和黑色是自然界最让人过目难忘的组合——老虎，蜜蜂都是这样一身装扮。这样的颜色是在宣告：你最好注意着点。 BROWN: Rustic, durable, wholesomeand deliciously rich are just some of the traits of the colour that’s often associated with earth and home, substance and stability. 棕色：纯朴、持久、健康、厚实，这些还不能概括棕色的所有特征。这种颜色经常与乡土、物质和稳定这些概念联系起来。 BLUE: Ever noticed how many corporations and financial institutions use blue in their brands? That’s because blue is seen as dependable and committed. It is also the colour we often associate with calm and serenity. Darken the blue and you’ll add an instant authority, credibilityand power to it. 蓝色：你注意到有多少公司和金融机构在它们的商标里选用蓝色吗？因为蓝色是标志可靠和忠诚的颜色。我们也经常将它与沉着和宁静联系起来。而蓝色一旦加深，就会带来权威、信誉和权利的暗示。 GREEN: Because of its association with nature and foliage, green in design can be used almost like a neutralcolour: greens never clash with red or pink roses, yellow sunflowers, lilacsor bluebells. 绿色：因其与自然和绿叶的关系，设计师常用它来充当中间色：绿色从不与大红或粉红的玫瑰、黄色太阳花、紫丁香、风铃草这些图案冲突。 PURPLE: It’s perhaps the most enigmaticand complex colour, with the range of meanings - from royal to elegant to spiritual to mysterious. Purple is often favoured by very creative and eccentricpeople who are not afraid of appearing daring. 紫色：可能是最神秘也最难解的颜色，其涵义也是多层次的：贵族、优雅、宗教、玄奥，不一而足。兼具创造力、神经质和胆识的人常偏好紫色。

Chinas FDI policies aim to boost industry upgrading: experts China's efforts to boost more foreign investment in high-tech and new energy sectors were congruent with the nation's industry upgrading goals, Chinese economists said. Zuo Xiaolei, chief economist with the Galaxy Securities, said when China started its reform and opening-up drive three decades ago, the inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) played an important role in boosting economy growth and creating jobs. "However, with the rapid development of Chinese economy, if foreign investment is only pooled into low-end manufacturing industries, that is not in agreement with China's efforts to change its economic growth pattern," Zuo said.

圣经中最感人的句子 1、"生命在他里头，这生命就是人的光。光照在黑暗里，黑暗却不接受光。"（《新约·约翰福音》第1章） What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. "John 1-4,5" 这是我最经常诵读的一段经文，也是基督教神学思想的核心。这里的"光"指的是耶稣基督，"生命"指的是永生--战胜死亡，获得真理。 2、"你们要进窄门，因为引到灭亡，那门是宽的，路是大的，进去的人也多；引到永生，那门是窄的，路是小的，找着的人也少。"（《新约·马太福音》第7章） Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it. "Matthew 7-13,14" . 这是耶稣"登山宝训"中最短的一段，但却是整个新教精神的核心。对于清教徒而言，人生就意味着无尽艰险，就意味着走窄门。 3、"爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒，爱是不自夸，不张狂，不作害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐；爱是永不止息。"（《新约·哥林多前书》第1 3章）| Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. I t bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. 基督教是"爱的宗教"，这就是使徒保罗对爱的诠释。从古到今不知有多少人因这段话而皈依基督教，可见"爱是无可比的"。 4、"死啊，你得胜的权势在哪里？死啊，你的毒钩在哪里？死的毒钩就是罪，罪的权势就是律法。感谢上帝，使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。"（《新约·哥林多前书》第15章） Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and. The power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 使徒保罗用优美的语言阐明了基督教的脉络：原罪与堕落，牺牲与救赎，胜利与永生。总体说来就是"用爱战胜死亡"。 5、"草必枯干，花必凋残，因为耶和华的气吹在其上；百姓诚然是草。草必枯干，花必凋残；惟有我们上帝的话，必永远立定！"（《旧约·以赛亚书》第40章） The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades ; but the word of our God will stand forever. 旧约的最大特点是"信念"。这句话就是无比坚定的信念，既是相信上帝，又是相信作为上帝选民的自己。以色列人的辉煌，大半缘自信念。

军事英语 "The recent violence is a continuation of violent activities of sect leaders in the north. This violence was religiously motivated, and it is about the quest for supremacy between factional leaders of the remnants of the religious sect that are in Bauchi," Sani said. Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north has seen bouts of religious unrest. This was the third time religious violence had occurred in Bauchi this year. In July, the area witnessed sectarian unrest, which later spread to neighboring states, killing 800 people. Sani blames the "failure of leadership" for the religious violence in northern Nigeria. "For the past 30 years, there have been over 85 cases of religious violence in the northern part of Nigeria. And it is clearly that there is a failure of leadership in the past three decades, which has created a vacuum for people to find answers to their problems within the realm of Islamic fundamentalism. And poverty, illiteracy and ignorance in the region have given fundamentalists a favorable atmosphere for them to get their converts and adherents," Sani said. Nigeria's 150 million people are split almost equally between Christians in the south and Muslims in the north.

Chinas CNPC to tap S Korean renewable energy market: media China's largest oil and gas producer and supplier is planning to tap the South Korean market by acquiring a local company, local media reported Monday. The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), which launched a branch in Seoul on Dec. 12, is planning to wade into the local renewable energy business through a merger and acquisition (M&A) with a local company, local Maeil Business Newspaper reported, quoting the branch chief. "We will engage in energy products in various areas, ranging from mineral resources, such as biodiesel, coal, nickel, and copper, to solar energy and wind power," the chief was quoted as saying. The CNPC, based in Shanghai, is China's largest oil and gas producer and supplier, posting a market cap amounting to 397.8 billion U.S. dollars and a net profit of 16.5 billion U.S. dollars as of the end of July, 2009.

Chinese shoemakers eyeing ASEAN to avoid anti-dumping impacts With China-ASEAN FTA coming into full force on January 1, 2010, 7,000 trading items covered by the agreements on the trade of goods and services will be tariff-free, giving Chinese shoemakers, who are facing EU's high anti-dumping duties, a chance to ease the impacts. The EU began levying anti-dumping duties of up to 16.5 percent against Chinese leather shoes on Oct. 5, 2006. On December 22, 2009, EU governments approved the 15-month extension of anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes. Wu Zhenchang, chairman of Chuangxin Shoemaking Company and founder of an industrial association aiming to cope with the EU's anti-dumping measures against Chinese leather shoes, noted that he would take the chance on the China-ASEAN FTA and transfer part of his assembly lines to Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Cambodia. "It will help to avoid trade frictions," he said. Guangzhou-based Chuangxin's export declined by 30 percent to 40 percent in 2009. "Our export to the EU accounts for less than 10 percent of our total export. However, to reduce costs, global footwear giants including Adidas and Nike gave orders to their factories in the Southeast Asia," said Wu. "Not only products aiming at the EU market, but the whole order of the same type to be sold worldwide." According to the statistics from the General Administration of Customs, China exported 6.74 billion pairs of shoes in the first 10 months of 2009, down 3.4 percent year on year. The overall value of shoes exported to the ASEAN reached 710 million U.S. dollars, up 49 percent compared with the same period 2008, while export to the U.S. and the EU both declined. Raw materials for shoes will enjoy zero-tariff after the China-ASEAN FTA comes into force on January. "With the zero-tariff policy and the low labor costs in the Southeast Asia, we are preparing to move our assembling lines there, to produce shoes to be sold in the EU and the ASEAN market," Wu said. However, there are also risks in investing in the ASEAN. Huajian Group, one of China's top women's shoes exporters, has already closed its factories in Vietnam. Huajian's chairman Zhang Huarong said that the company encountered great operation and management difficulties in Vietnam because of poor supporting industries and unfamiliarity with the cultures there. Lan Xuanpu, the general secretary of Asia Footwear Inc, pointed out that after FTA agreements come into effect, shoes trade between China and the ASEAN will speed up. Closer trade ties will also boost Chinese shoemakers' investment in the ASEAN. However, due to inadequate supporting facilities for shoe-making, there won't be a massive transfer.

鸡蛋和10000美元的背叛 One day, while Sue was cleaning under the bed, she found a small box. C urious, she opened it and found 3 eggs and 10,000 dollars. A little bit suspicious, she confronted her husband of twenty years about it. "Oh, that," Frank said. "Every time I cheated on you, I put an egg in this box." Sue was a bit unhappy about this, but figured that 3 affairs over twenty years wasn't so bad. "But what about the 10,000 dollars?" "Every time I got a dozen, I sold them." "Every time I got a dozen, I sold them." 一天，妻子 Sue 在整理床铺时，偶然发现了一个小盒子。出于好奇心，她小心翼翼的打开了盒子，发现里面放了三枚鸡蛋和10000美元钞票。对于相处了20余年丈夫居然对自己隐瞒了此事，她开始感到有些疑惑不安。 “哦，是这样的，”丈夫 Frank 解释道，“每次我做了对你不忠的事，我就会在这个盒子里放一枚鸡蛋。” Sue 虽然对此感到不很高兴，但是转念又一想20多年的丈夫背着她有婚外情也不过只有三次，想想也不算太坏。 “那么另外的那10000美元是怎么回事？” “每当鸡蛋凑够一打，我就卖了换成现金。”

Passenger reportedly tries to blow up U.S. plane on orders of U.S. Federal investigators are interviewing a 23-year-old passenger from Nigeria who they say ignited an explosive device on a U.S.-bound flight, injuring himself and two others. The Nigerian man, who was on a Northwest flight, told authorities that he was directed by al-Qaida to ignite a small explosive device in the flight over U.S. soil, according to ABC News. The man was identified as Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He was on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253, which took off in Nigeria, heading for Detroit via Amsterdam. The plane was carrying 278 passengers. "The U.S. government believes the event was an attempted act of terrorism," a White House official told The Detroit News on condition of anonymity. The suspect had been in a law enforcement intelligence database but was not on the government's no-fly list, a law enforcement official said. Authorities initially believed the passenger had set off firecrackers that caused some minor injuries. An official at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport said the passenger was subdued immediately, but gave no details on the injuries. An Federak Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman in Detroit said the incident is being investigated

Venezuelan president denounces aggression attempt of Colombia, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Monday accused the governments of Colombia and the United States of plotting an attack against Venezuelan territory to destabilize his government. Chavez made the remarks during a New Year's ceremony with the troops of Mara Fort in Zulia state, northwest of the country. Chavez said that Colombia began a war of words by alleging that in Venezuelan territory were hidden leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in camps protected by the Venezuelan Army and the National Guard (Police). Chavez said that the allegation is not true and his government will not accept any alien military forces nor guerillas in its territory. He said that Colombian military forces kidnapped young people and killed them later in the mountains before they were dressed up in guerilla attires with arms to be presented later as guerilla members killed during a combat. Chavez said that Colombia supported by the United States is playing a similar trick to plan an attack on the Venezuelan territory. "We do not want a war with anybody," Chavez said. However, he denied that Colombia had signed a military cooperation agreement with the United States, which allows the presence of U.S. troops in Colombian bases.

Honeymoon(蜜月)的来历对于“爱情坟墓说”，大家往往莫衷一是；但对于婚后最初那段时光，很少有人否认它的甜蜜。瞧！单词honeymoon（蜂蜜+月）就是明证，很形象地形容了新婚感觉如蜂蜜般甘甜醇美…… 有一种说法认为，“honeymoon”源于巴比伦的民情风俗。这个古老的国家一直保留着这样一个传统，在女儿出嫁的第一个月，女孩的父亲每天都会让女婿喝mead（蜂蜜酒），以此希望女儿的婚姻永远幸福甜蜜。不过，词源学家否认了这种说法。正统词源学认为，honeymoon并非指婚后一个月。虽然honey喻指新婚的甜蜜，但moon指代的是“月亮的盈亏”，这种苦涩的暗示旨在告诫人们：婚姻固然幸福甜美，但这种甜蜜就像月亮的盈亏只是暂时的，婚姻更多的意味着双方要一起肩负生活的重担，一起承受人生的酸甜苦辣，一起经历生活的风风雨雨。

New START treaty "practically ready": Russian FM MOSCOW, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- A new strategic arms reduction treaty expected to be signed between Moscow and Washington was "practically ready," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday. "The (new) START treaty is practically ready. I hope the experts will finalize it quickly enough," said the Russian top diplomat in a TV interview. Russia and the United States have been in intense talks over the past few months, trying to clinch a deal on a replacement document to the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START-1) that expired on Dec. 5. Lavrov also said the new treaty "is based on some fundamentally new principles," such as "equal rights, parity, and reciprocal trust." "For the first time in history the levels of strategic offensive arms will be unprecedentedly low," said the minister as quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency. Lavrov said Russia-U.S. relations "do have prospects," due to a "new, decent economic dialogue in progress." The two countries meanwhile are working over a string of international issues including Afghanistan, Middle East, Iran's nuclear program and the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, he said. "Thus, we won't have to be bored next year," he added. This year marked the "reset" of Russia-U.S. relations as the Barack Obama administration adjusted its policy toward Moscow, yet dispelling mistrust accumulated over years remains a knotty issue.
