关于“说”,除了say, 都有哪些精准的表达? Communication is an essential part of our daily lives. We ourselves communicate, and others communicate to us through words, but also through gestures, facial expressions, body language, writings, texts, media, etc.沟通是我们日常生活中必不可少的一部分。我们和自己交流,其他人通过语言和我们交流,也通过手势、面部表情、肢体语言、文字、文本、媒体等方式。Especially today, in an age of technology and instant communication, more than ever people are sharing what they think and saying what they want when they want with the most liberty.尤其是今天,在科技和即时通讯的时代,人们比以往任何时候都更愿意分享他们的想法,在他们最自由的时候说出他们想要的话。 It’s understandable why you would look for synonyms, or other ways of saying, the word “said”, or “says”. “Said” is the past-tense of “says”. So, we would use it if we are recalling or repeating something someone said at a previous time.你为什么要找同义词,或者其他的表达方式,来表达“说”,比如“said”或“say”。这是可以理解的。“said”是“says”的过去式。所以,如果我们在回忆或重复别人以前说过的话,我们会使用它。 For example:例如: “My doctor said my health has been improving over the last few weeks.”“我的医生说过去几周我的健康一直在改善。” To use “said”, means someone was speaking, or talking. Of course, we know there are various ways of speaking, right?使用“said”表示某人过去在说话或谈话。当然,我们知道有很多种说话的方式,对吧? We could SHOUT! We could whisper… We could speak, loud, low, fast, slow, carefully, carelessly, angrily, lovingly, and the list goes on, and there is a way of describing each and every type of manner spoken.我们可以大喊!我们可以低声说话……我们可以大声、低沉、快速、缓慢、小心、随性、愤怒、充满爱意地说话,我们还能列出一系列情境,描述每种说话方式有不同方法。 “Said” is more general. It means the words were spoken or declared. Below are a few synonyms you could use for “said” as well as examples of how you can add some descriptors.“Said”更普遍些。这意味着这些话被说出或被宣布。下面是一些可以用于“said”的同义词,以及如何添加一些描述性的示例。 Say说 To speak words.说出语言 Said说过 Words spoken in the past.过去说的话。 Most common synonyms for SAIDsaid最常见的同义词 Declared宣告 synonyms for saidsaid的同义词 Something said with certainty and conviction.肯定并坚定地说了些什么。 The politician passionately declared the changes he promised to bring about.这位政治家满怀激情地宣布他承诺要带来的变化。 I declared I would have to move out of my flat by the end of the month.我宣布要在月底搬出我的公寓。 Disclosed透露 To share secret information.分享秘密信息。 I felt our friendship tighten, when Ana disclosed this personal experience with me.当安娜向我透露这段个人经历时,我感到我们的友谊越来越亲密。 The journalist only said she would not reveal who disclosed the confidential story to her.这位记者只说她不会透露是谁向她透露了这个秘密。 Discussed讨论 To talk about something with others.和别人谈论某事 We were both angry, but we discussed the matter in a cordial and polite manner.我们俩都很生气,但我们以亲切和礼貌的方式讨论了这件事。 I’ve discussed music and literature more times than I can remember in this famous jazz club.在这个著名的爵士乐俱乐部里,我讨论过很多次音乐和文学。 Chatted聊天 To casually talk with others.随便和别人交谈。 We chatted over coffee and pastries during our work break.我们在休息时间聊咖啡和糕点。 I love the way my dad chats with me when we have time to spend together.当我们有时间在一起的时候,我喜欢爸爸和我聊天的方式。 Communicated沟通 To share information.分享信息 I communicated my personal opinions to my manager about how this department was running.我就这个部门的运作情况向经理表达了我的个人意见。 My boyfriend communicated his sincere admiration for my determination when I completed my first running marathon.当我完成第一次马拉松跑步时,我的男朋友向我表达了他对我决心的由衷钦佩。 Mentioned提及 To say or refer to something briefly.简要地提及某事 I was surprised my mom didn’t mention how dirty my flat was when she came to visit.我很惊讶我妈妈没有提到在她来拜访时我的公寓有多脏。 She tried not to mention how much she missed her family during the holidays, because it would only maker her more homesick.她在假期里尽量不提有多想念家人,因为这只会让她更想家。 Voiced发声 To share an opinion or attitude.分享意见或态度 The student voiced his opinion of how unfair the teacher was managing the class.学生表达了他对老师管理课堂有多不公平的看法。 The citizens voiced their extreme dissatisfaction with the local government through protests.市民们通过抗议表达了对当地政府的极度不满。 There are actually plenty of words that describe someone saying words. Depending on the tone and emotion that each of them feel, you can pull from each of these short lists to find a word that suits your needs:事实上,有很多词可以描述某人说的话。根据每个人的语气和情绪,你可以从这些简短的列表中找出适合你需要的单词: Words to use INSTEAD of Said用来代替said的词 When the Speaker is Happy当说话者心情愉悦时 Rejoiced欣喜若狂 When someone is happy about something, they rejoice. This is a stronger word than simply saying they are happy.当某人对某件事感到高兴时,他们会欣喜若狂,这是一个比简单地说他们快乐更强烈的词。 “Now, we can FINALLY enjoy the party,” rejoiced the bride, who had been planning the wedding ceremony for months.“现在,我们终于可以享受这个聚会了,”新娘高兴地说,她已经策划了几个月的婚礼。 “I honestly can’t believe that we pulled it off,” rejoiced the teachers.“我真的不敢相信我们成功了,”老师们高兴地说。 Celebrated庆祝 When there is something specifically good that happens, you can celebrate!当有特别好的事情发生时,你可以庆祝! “I am so happy for your promotion!” celebrated Winston.“我很高兴你升职!“温斯顿庆祝道。 “This definitely calls for some champagne,” celebrated Pauline.“这肯定需要一些香槟,”波琳庆祝道。 Laughed笑着说 When someone is making a joke, or trying to get someone else to laugh, you can use this.当有人在开玩笑,或者试图让别人笑的时候,你可以用这个。 “I can’t believe you fell for that trick!” laughed Derek“我真不敢相信你会被那个骗局迷惑!”德里克笑着说。 “You thought what?! No, he is my brother and not my boyfriend!” laughed Susan.“你在想什么?!不,他是我弟弟,不是我男朋友!“苏珊笑了。 Chuckled轻声笑道 Chuckled is a synonym for laughed, but is a smaller laugh. If you chuckle, something is slightly funny but does not make you roll on the floor with laughter.Chuckled是laugh的同义词,但笑的程度要小一些。如果你咯咯地笑,有些事情有点滑稽,但不至于让你笑得滚落在地上。 “Yeah, I thought that you might find it funny,” chuckled Sam.“是的,我以为你会觉得很有趣,”山姆笑着说。 Diane chuckled, “That was why you were trying to avoid him this whole time?”黛安轻声笑道:“这就是为什么你一直想避开他?“ Joked开玩笑 When someone says something that is not serious, you can say that they joke about a topic.当有人说一些不严肃的话时,你可以说他们在开一个话题的玩笑。 “Maybe we should get married tonight,” joked Tommy, whose girlfriend thought he was completely serious.“也许我们今晚应该结婚,”汤米开玩笑说,他的女朋友认为他是认真的。 She joked, “Perhaps your dreams would actually happen if they were actually important to you.”她开玩笑说:“如果你的梦想真的对你很重要,也许你的梦想真的会实现。” Beamed微笑着说 To beam means to have a giant smile on your face. If you beam when you say something, it means that you are extremely happy that it happened and you are glad to show it to everyone.微笑意味着脸上有一个巨大的微笑。如果你说话时发出这样的信号,这意味着你对发生的事情感到非常高兴,并且你很高兴向每个人展示它。 “I have some great news,” the man beamed. “My wife is pregnant!”“我有个好消息,”那人笑着说。“我妻子怀孕了!“ “Son, I am so proud of you,” George’s father beamed.“儿子,我为你感到骄傲,”乔治的父亲笑着说。 Marveled惊讶地说 To marvel at something means to admire it a lot. If you are marveling, you are looking at something that you think deserves a lot of praise. It often is something that captures your attention like nothing else!对某件事感到惊奇意味着对它非常钦佩。如果你很惊奇,你会看到一些你认为值得称赞的东西。它常常是吸引你的注意力的东西,不会像其他东西一样! “These chocolate chip cookies are the best that I have ever tasted!” marveled the boy.“这些巧克力饼干是我吃过的最好的!”男孩惊讶地说。 “The view from the top of Machu Picchu is simply incredible; it has got to be one of the most beautiful views in the world!” marveled Rebecca.“马丘比丘山顶的景色简直不可思议,一定是世界上最美的景色之一!“丽贝卡很惊讶。 Cheered欢呼道 When you cheer about something, it means that you are celebrating it. You yell in joy because you are happy, often because something turned out the way that you had hope. A good situation in which you would use this is if you win a sports match that you really wanted to win. Or, you can cheer if you watch your favorite team win!当你为某件事欢呼时,这意味着你在庆祝它。你高兴地大喊是因为你很快乐,通常是因为你有了希望。如果你赢了一场你真正想赢的体育比赛,你就可以使用这个词。或者,如果你看到你最喜欢的球队获胜,你也可以欢呼! “This now proves our team is the best!” cheered Uncle Dave.“这证明了我们的团队是最好的!“戴夫叔叔欢呼道。 “If you keep this up, I am sure our company will continue to grow,” cheered the CEO.“如果你继续这样做,我相信我们公司会继续发展,”CEO欢呼道。 Sang哼唱道 While most of the time sang is used in the context of singing a song, it is not always. You can use sang if there is a song or tune involved. However, it can also help show a speaker’s emotion. If someone is saying something in a singing way, this means that they are very excited.虽然大多数时候唱歌都是在有背景音乐的情况下下进行的,但并不总是这样。如果涉及到歌曲或曲调,可以使用sang。然而,它也可以帮助表达演讲者的情感。如果有人在哼唱,这意味着他们非常兴奋。 Imagine a little girl skipping down a road, singing something to herself – showing that she is very happy. If someone sings a sentence, it means they feel very excited and want to show that emotion off.想象一个小女孩在路上蹦蹦跳跳,对自己唱着什么——表示她很高兴。如果有人唱了一句话,这意味着他们感到非常兴奋,想把这种情绪表现出来。 “It is the end of the school year! Summer vacation, here I come!” sang Jenny.“这是学年的结束!暑假,我来了!“詹妮唱道。 “I just can’t believe I am getting married today!” sang the bride to be as she picked up her wedding dress.“我简直不敢相信我今天要结婚了!“当新娘拿起她的婚纱时,她唱了起来。 Giggled止不住咯咯地笑 To giggle means to laugh lightly. Most of the time, the laugher is a bit embarrassed to laugh but thinks something is too funny not to giggle.咯咯笑意味着轻轻地笑。大多数时候,笑的人笑起来有点尴尬,但觉得有些事情太有趣了,无法控制。 “Who thought that Bobby would be the last one to cross the river?” giggled the students.“谁想到鲍比会是最后一个过河的人?“学生们咯咯笑了。 “The panda baby that is trying to get its mother’s attention is absolutely adorable,” giggled Brian.布赖恩笑着说:“熊猫宝宝想引起妈妈的注意,真是太可爱了。” Gloated沾沾自喜,幸灾乐祸 To gloat means to show off. When you are proud of something that you did and want everyone to know, you can gloat. Usually, gloat means that you will cause other people to be frustrated.沾沾自喜就是一种炫耀。当你为你所做的事情感到骄傲,并且希望每个人都知道的时候,你可以沾沾自喜。通常,沾沾自喜,幸灾乐祸意味着你会让别人失望。 “Even though I study much less than you, I still got a better grade!” gloated Fred.“虽然我的学得比你少得多,但我的成绩还是比你好!“弗雷德幸灾乐祸道。 When the Speaker is Worried当说话处于担忧状态 Gulped倒吸一口气 When someone visibly swallows before they say something, they gulp.当有人在说话前明显地吞咽,他们就会深呼吸。 “I really do not think I am the best person to give this presentation,” gulped Thomas.“我真的不认为我是最好的人来做这个演讲,”托马斯咕噜着说。 Stuttered结巴地说 When someone is unable to say words smoothly, and it feels like they have words stuck in their throat, they stutter.当有人说不流畅的话,感觉好像有话卡在喉咙里,他们就会结巴。 “W…w…what did you w…want?” stuttered Lily.“你…你…想要什么?“莉莉结结巴巴地说。 Whispered小声地说 To whisper means to say something very quietly, trying not to be heard by anyone else.低语是指非常安静地说些什么,尽量不被别人听到。 “Can you tell me the plan again?” whispered Ryan.“你能再告诉我一次你的计划吗?“瑞安小声说。 Trembled颤抖地说 When someone trembles, it means that they are visibly shaking. They cannot control their emotions and are very frightened or nervous.当有人颤抖时,这意味着他们明显地在颤抖。他们无法控制自己的情绪,非常害怕或紧张。 “Does anyone else see that tiger over there?” trembled Amy.“还有别人看到那边的老虎吗?”艾米颤抖着说道。 When the Speaker Will Not Change Their Mind当说话者不会改变心意 Commanded命令道 When you think of an army general, or an angry mom, they speak in commands.当你想到一个陆军上将,或者一个愤怒的母亲,他们会用命令说话。 “Why are these tasks not yet finished?!” commanded the project leader.“为什么这些任务还没有完成?!”项目负责人责令道。 Insisted坚持说 To insist means to be convinced that you are right, even if you are not.坚持意味着确信你是对的,即使你不对。 “I am sure that I was the last employee to leave on Friday night,” insisted Peggy.佩吉坚持说:“我确信我是上周五晚上最后一个离开的员工。” Dictated命令,指示 To dictate means to give an order than must be obeyed.发号施令意味着下达一项必须服从的命令。 “I want all these toys cleaned up from the floor by the time that I get home!” dictated father.“我要在回家前把地板上的玩具都清理干净!“父亲命令道。 Demanded要求道 When you demand something, you are authoritatively asking someone to do something.当你要求某件事时,你是权威地要求某人做某件事。 “I ordered strawberry, not peach.

If you only describe the person as “saying” something, it does not convey their emotion when they said it.问题是,使用相同的词会很快变得无聊。如果你只把这个人描述成“说”某件事,那么当他们说的时候,这个词就不能表达他们的情感。 In English, this kind of context can be very important. Instead of saying that someone simply said it, they might shout it, whisper it, question it, or ask it. This can give you a sense of how they are feeling, and what it means when they are discussing something.在英语中,这种上下文可能非常重要。与其说有人简单地说出来,他们可能会大声喊出来,低声说出来,质疑它,或者询问它。这可以让你了解他们的感受,以及当他们讨论某件事时意思是什么。
选择善良,你便是最美的风景 It was a beautiful, sunny, Spring day. I had just finished driving my daughter to the airport to catch an early morning flight. 这是一个阳光明媚的美好春日。我刚刚开车送女儿去机场赶早班飞机。 My sons and I then went to a fast food place for breakfast before heading back home.在回家之前,我和儿子们去一家快餐店吃了早饭。 After eating we all got into the car and pulled out of the parking lot. 进餐后,我们回到车里,并将车驶出停车场。 The restaurant was at the very top of a hill. At the bottom of the hill was a stop sign so we found ourselves at the end of a long line of traffic waiting while the cars at the bottom turned onto the main road one at a time.餐馆在山顶,在山底有个禁止通行的标志,我们排在等待通行一条长队的最后面,而位于山底的车子每次只有一辆能开上主路。 As I looked down to the bottom of the hill my eyes saw an elderly man standing by the stop sign. 就在我向山下张望的时候,注意到一位长者就站在禁止通行标志的旁边。 His clothes were old and worn. He held a cardboard sign with the words: Need Help Please! written on it. 他衣衫褴褛,手举着写有“请帮帮我”的牌子。 My heart went out to him and I imagined myself in his situation.我的心不由得被他牵动,想象着如果我是他面对这这样的处境会怎样。 As car after car turned onto the road without stopping for him, I reached for my wallet to look for whatever cash was left in it. 驶入主路的车辆并没有因为这位老人而停留,我寻摸着钱包,然后打开看看里面还有多少现金。 As I was pulling it out of my pocket, though, I saw a young woman walk up to him along the side of the road. 就在我把钱包从口袋里拿出来的时候,我看到一位姑娘朝着老人走去。 She was carrying a bag full of take out food from the restaurant I was just at. I watched as the old man thanked the young girl and smiled as she reached in to give him a hug.她手上提着一袋食物,就是从我刚刚吃早餐的店里买的。姑娘走到老人跟前给了他一个拥抱,老人微笑着向姑娘道谢,这一切我都看在眼里。 Suddenly a loud HONK! from the car behind me made me realize that I hadn't been moving forward, because this simple choice for kindness had so captured my attention and my heart.突然我听到一声从后面车子传来的鸣笛声。刚才姑娘举手之劳的善意深深打动了我,我光顾着看了,忘了把车子往前开。 By the time I reached the bottom of the hill both the man and lady who had helped him were gone. Yet, as I drove home the sun seemed to shine even brighter and Heaven felt a bit closer to Earth.当我的车子开到山下那位帮助老人的姑娘已经走了。当我开车回家的时候,太阳光变得更加一样了,天堂仿佛也离地面更近了。 A choice is such a powerful thing. It can touch a heart and change a life. It can bring us closer to God and make Heaven smile. Each day we are given a thousand choices. May you make all of yours for kindness. May you make your whole life a choice for love, joy, and God.原来选择也是这么有力量的一件事情,它会直击内心,改变生活。让我们离上帝更近,让天堂微笑。每天我们要做上千个选择。愿你的每个选择都带着慈悲。愿你一生的选择都带着爱、愉悦和上帝的名义。
学点经济学:什么是看不见的大手 What Is the Invisible Hand?什么是看不见的手? There are few concepts in the history of economics that have been misunderstood, and misused, more often than the "invisible hand." For this, we can mostly thank the person who coined this phrase: the 18th-century Scottish e conomist Adam Smith, in his influential books The Theory of Moral Sentiments and (much more importantly) The Wealth of Nations.在经济学史上,很少有概念比“看不见的手”更容易被误解和误用。为此,我们要感谢创造这个短语的人:18世纪苏格兰经济学家亚当·斯密,他在其颇具影响力的著作《道德情操论》和更为重要的《国富论》中提出了这个词。 By the time he wrote The Wealth of Nations, published in 1776, Smith had vastly generalized his conception of the "invisible hand": 当史密斯于1776年发表《国富论》时,他就广泛地概括了“看不见的手”的概念: People who pursue their own selfish ends in the market (charging top prices for their goods, for example, or paying as little as possible to their workers) actually and unknowingly contribute to a larger economic pattern in which everybody benefits, poor as well as rich.“那些在市场上追求自己私利的人(例如,对他们的商品收取最高价格,或者尽可能少地支付给他们的工人)实际上在不知不觉中促成了一种更大的经济模式,在这种模式中,无论穷人还是富人都受益。” You can probably see where we're going with this. Taken naively, at face value, the "invisible hand" is an all-purpose argument against the regulation of free markets. 你们可以看到我们要做什么。从表面上看,“看不见的手”是反对监管自由市场的万能理由。 Is a factory owner underpaying his employees, making them work long hours, and compelling them to live in substandard housing? The "invisible hand" will eventually redress this injustice, as the market corrects itself and the employer has no choice but to provide better wages and benefits, or go out of business. 工厂老板是否给员工少发了工资,让他们长时间工作,迫使他们住在不达标的房子里?“看不见的手”最终将纠正这种不公,因为市场会自我纠正,雇主别无选择,只能提供更好的工资和福利,否则就会破产。 And not only will the invisible hand come to the rescue, but it will do so much more rationally, fairly and efficiently than any "top-down" regulations imposed by government (say, a law mandating time-and-a-half pay for overtime work).此外,“看不见的手”不仅会出手相救,而且会比政府制定的任何“自上而下”的法规(比如,一项规定加班工资1.5倍的法律)更加理性、公平和高效。 Does the "Invisible Hand" Really Work?“看不见的手”真的有效吗? To answer this question, we have to look at the era in which Adam Smith came up with it.要回答这个问题,我们必须看看亚当·斯密提出这个问题时所处的时代。 At the time Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations, England was on the brink of the greatest economic expansion in the history of the world, the "industrial revolution" that resulted in widespread wealth.亚当•斯密撰写《国富论》时,英国正处于世界历史上最大规模经济扩张的边缘,即“工业革命”,它带来了广泛的财富。 In the 18th and 19th centuries England had some natural advantages not enjoyed by other countries, which also contributed to its economic success. An island nation with a powerful navy, fueled by a Protestant work ethic, with a constitutional monarchy gradually yielding ground to a parliamentary democracy, England existed in a unique set of circumstances, none of which are easily accounted for by "invisible hand" economics. Taken uncharitably, then, Smith's "invisible hand" often seems more like a rationalization for the successes (and failures) of capitalism than a genuine explanation.在18世纪和19世纪,英国有一些其他国家没有的自然优势,这也促进了它经济上的成功。英国是一个拥有强大海军的岛国,在新教工作道德的推动下,君主立宪制逐渐让位于议会民主制,英国处于独特的环境之中,这些环境都不容易被“看不见的手”这一经济学原理所解释。如此看来,史密斯的“看不见的手”似乎更像是资本主义成功(和失败)的合理解释,而非真正的解释。 The "Invisible Hand" in the Modern Era现代的“看不见的手” Today, there is only one country in the world that has taken the concept of the "invisible hand" and run with it, and that's the United States. 今天,世界上只有一个国家接受并采用了“看不见的手”的概念,那就是美国。 As Mitt Romney said during his 2012 campaign, "the invisible hand of the market always moves faster and better than the heavy hand of government," and that is one of the basic tenets of the Republican party. 正如米特•罗姆尼在2012年竞选时所说,“市场这只看不见的手总是比政府这只沉重的手走得更快、更好”,这是共和党的基本原则之一。 For the most extreme conservatives (and some libertarians), any form of regulation is unnatural, since any inequalities in the market can be counted on to sort themselves out, sooner or later. (England, meanwhile, even though it has separated from the European Union, still maintains fairly high levels of regulation.)对于最极端的保守主义者(以及一些自由主义者)来说,任何形式的监管都是不自然的,因为市场中的任何不平等现象迟早都可以指望自己解决。(与此同时,尽管英国已脱离欧盟,但仍保持着相当高的监管水平。) But does the "invisible hand" really work in a modern economy? For a telling example, you need look no further than the health-care system. There are many healthy young people in the U.S. who, acting out of sheer self-interest, choose not to purchase health insurance—thus saving themselves hundreds, and possibly thousands, of dollars per month. This results in a higher standard of living for them, but also higher premiums for comparably healthy people who choose to protect themselves with health insurance, and extremely high (and often unaffordable) premiums for elderly and unwell people for whom insurance is literally a matter of life and death.但“看不见的手”在现代经济中真的有用吗?举一个很好的例子,你只需看看医疗保健系统就可以了。在美国有很多健康的年轻人出于纯粹的自身利益,选择不购买健康保险——这样每个月可以节省数百甚至数千美元。这会给他们带来更高的生活水平,同时对于那些选择用健康保险来保护自己的同样健康的人来说,保费会更高,对于老年人和身体不好的人来说,保险简直就是生死攸关的事,保费也极高(而且往往难以承受)。

吃货小心!加工肉可致癌? Eating processed meat can cause cancer, World HealthOrganization experts said Monday. Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by curing,salting, smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France,studied 800 cases. IARC researchers linked processed meat, such as hot dogs and ham, to bowelcancer, as well as pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer. The IARC has included processed meat in its group 1 list, for which there is “sufficient evidence” oflinks to cancer. Tobacco, asbestos, and diesel fumes are also on the group 1 list. WHO experts also called red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, “probably” carcinogenic tohumans. Dr. Kurt Straif is with the IARC. He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with theamount of meat a person eats. A person who consumes 50 grams of processed meat per day –about two pieces of bacon – increases his or her risk of bowel cancer by 18 percent. Health experts in some countries already advise against eating large amounts of red andprocessed meat. But those advisories had been centered on the increased risks of heart diseaseand obesity. Meat industry groups are protesting the WHO study. They say that meat is part of a balanceddiet. They also say the causes of cancer are broad, and include environmental and lifestyle factors. The WHO report cited the Global Burden of Disease project, which estimates that diets high inprocessed meat lead to 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide. I'm Ashley Thompson.

经济报道]你祖国的竞争力如何? The Swiss-based World Economic Forum released its latestGlobal Competitiveness Report this week. The report rated Switzerland as the world’s most competitivecountry for the seventh year. Next on the list were Singaporeand the United States. Others among the top 10 wereGermany, Netherlands, Japan, Hong Kong, Finland, Sweden, and Britain. The report said countries need to accept the reforms needed to improve productivity. They alsoneed to support entrepreneurs. If not, the report says the countries will be less competitive. Itsays promoting productivity is important for growth, and to lower unemployment. Most countries report economic growth. But growth is weaker than before the 2008 financialcrisis, the report says. The report warns developing countries which fail to compete enough willnot be able to deal with future shocks to the world economy. Margareta Drzeniek-Hanouz is head of Global Competitiveness and Risks at the World EconomicForum. She says digital technology in machinery and manufacturing is important worldwide. But, it is the “human factor” that is critical to competitiveness, she says. “The human factor includes two broad categories of issues. One is education and everythingrelated to education. So how do countries nurture talent, but also the flexibility of the labormarket, so the ability of the business sector to adapt to changes in the country.” The 2015-2016 report used 12 pillars, or groupings, to rate a nation’s competitiveness. Theseinclude roads and other infrastructure, health and primary education, business sophistication andinnovation. Major findings show the larger emerging markets are making little progress in competitiveness.But, the report notes India and South Africa appear to be exceptions. Both countries moved up inthe ratings. The report says 28th-ranked China is the most competitive of this group of economies. But, itsays China’s failure to move up in the rankings shows the country is facing some difficulteconomic issues. The report says African countries south of the Sahara continue to grow at close to five percent ayear. But uneven commodity prices have hurt competitiveness and productivity. In sub-SaharanAfrica, 46th-ranked Mauritius remains the area’s most competitive economy. It is followed closelyby South Africa and Rwanda. I’m Mario Ritter.

刘鸿伏《读书心态》英译 烦恼时读书,书便如一把梳子,把你从头到脚浑身梳理一次,在一种麻麻痒痒之中,心情就好起来,渐渐就进了忘忧之境,忘了面对的烦恼,进入书中编织的风景里去。所以,书可以助人遗忘眼前的不快和逆境,获得抚慰。 人生需要常常梳理,人的心情更需在读书的忘忧中得到一种超脱,否则,人的心情往往难得平和。人的烦恼总来自现实生活,而作为高于生活的书本,它是可以将人的灵魂提升到一定高度的,书可以将你的心境与现实用一道智慧抑或超常美丽的篱笆隔开,是一种缓冲,更是一种温暖的安抚,抚平你心上的皱褶。 落寞时读书,便如面对一位不期而遇的故人。最好是寒冷的冬天,窗外雪满草树,无酒无客人,心情无聊到极点,便随意从书架上抽一本书来读读,最好读的是野史或浪漫又带点伤感的东西,当然,那些明清的笔记也好,蒲松龄的故事也顶好。喝着有些苦味的绿茶,一个人袖着手,把书摊开在小茶几上,看一页,用手指粘一页,一页页翻过去,渐渐就忘形,就要读出声来,或者就以掌击掌,口里喊一个“好!”字。陶陶然如对久别知交,不知不觉间窗外雪已无声。雪天读书,书是故人,心情先是落寞,不久就沉醉忘形,岂不快哉? 失意时读书,书便是一剂医治心病的好药。一个人难免为得失揪心,难免失意时多而得意时少。凡夫俗子中,有谁能摆脱“得失”二字呢?失意太多,就有了心绞痛,治心绞痛,只有两味药:一是忽然就得了意;二是全身心沉醉在书中。为此,可以选阅一些轻松的书或情节极佳的小说,当然也可以读点《庄子》。读着读着,渐开三境:第一种境就是达到忘形,不再计较得失;第二种境就是从书中悟出一些人生哲理,对“得”、“失”蓦然有了新见解,如卸重负,有一种豁然开朗之感;第三种境就是从书中找到自身相似的人物际遇,然后看他是如何面对失意,从中可以学到反败为胜的本领。总之,书是疗心之药,可以让失意的人生重新焕发出勇气和力量。 在高兴愉快时读书,书便如春天的风,樽中的酒,筝中的雅曲。愉快是人生的美酒,养分很多,于身心大有补益。而在愉快中读书,更有扶强固本之功。也可以读沈复的《浮生六记》,去感受那种带点悲凉人生况味,但因为你的心情是愉快的,心态会由愉快时的兴奋转为平和宁静。快乐地读悲凉之书,是读书人至佳之境,正如盛宴之上,忽遇一味平日想吃而吃不到的家乡小菜,所有的滋味都齐全了。悲苦之间,便有悟道的可能。 读书是有瘾的,正如人有烟瘾或酒瘾一样。有了瘾,就不可一日或缺,如嗜酒或者缺酒喝,嗜烟者缺烟抽。这种体会,不足为外人道。有时,也有厌倦之感,仿佛食肉过多难免腻味一样;有时,忽然感叹满世界竟寻不出一本好书。凡此种种,是读书时常出现的心理风景,过后就“柳暗花明又一村”,还是照样手不释卷,照样把眼睛读成红灯笼,照样在读书中读出种种人生况味来。 注:汉语原文有删节。
给我勇气的英语美文MP3:非凡人生的七大秘诀 Seven Secrets to a Great Life 非凡人生的七大秘诀 【中英双语】 A great life doesn't happen by accident. A great life is the resultof allocating your time, energy, thoughts, and hard worktowards what you want your life to be. Stop setting yourself upfor stress and failure, and start setting up your life to supportsuccess and ease. A great life is the result of using the 24/7 youget in a creative and thoughtful way, instead of just what comesnext. Customize these "secrets" to fit your own needs and style, and start creating your owngreat life today! 非凡的人生不是无根之木,无源之水。它需要合理分配自己的时间、精力、心思,为实现自己的生活目标而努力。走出忧虑和失败,全身心地迎接成功和安逸。不要得过且过,创造性地好好利用生命中的分分秒秒吧!让我们从今天开始,根据下面的“秘诀”和自身情况,创建属于自己的非凡人生。 1. S—Simplify. A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misinterpret what simplifymeans. It's not a way to remove work from your life. When you focus on simplifying your life, youfree up energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. Inorder to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first. 化繁为简。非凡的人生源于简单的生活。人们往往误解了简单的含义,即不参加工作。 当生活真正简化,你就会有时间和精力从事喜欢的工作,并为之奋斗。创建非凡的人生,首先要有自己的空间。 2. E—Effort. A great life is the result of your best effort. Creating a great life requires that you makesome adjustments. It may mean reevaluating how you spend your time, or choosing to spendyour money in a different way. It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy thatcoincide with your particular definition of a great life. Life will reward your best effort. 不懈努力。非凡的人生源于个人的苦心经营。这可能需要重新分配时间,或调整理财方式:用新的方式把精力投向能引领非凡人生的地方去。有付出就会有回报。 3. C—Create Priorities. A great life is the result of creating priorities. It's easy to spend your daysjust responding to the next thing that gets your attention, instead of intentionally using the time,energy and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on removing the obstaclesthat get in the way of you making sure you are honoring your priorities. 分清主次。非凡的人生源于分清主次。不要被琐碎的事所吸引,而撇开重要之事,不然, 时间、精力和金钱便会浪费。要想达到目的,就要善于梳理头绪,扫清障碍,分清轻重缓急。 4. R—Reserves. A great life is the result of having reserves—reserves of things, time, space,energy, money. With reserves, you acquire far more than you need-not 6 months livingexpenses, but 5 years worth; not 15 minutes of free time, 1 day. Reserves are important becausethey reduce the fear of consequences, and that allows you to make decisions based on what youreally want instead of what the fear decides for you. 有备无患。非凡的人生源于懂得储存--储存物品、时间、空间、精力和金钱。那样,获得就会远远多于所期望的--就会得到五年的生活费,而不是六个月的;一整天的闲暇时间, 而不是15分钟。储存能减少顾虑,从而使决定不受限制,思想不会犹豫。

The total number of foreign students in the UnitedStates increased by 2.9 percent, to 690,923, during the2009-10 school year, according to an annual reporton international academic mobility. 根据年度国际学术交流委员会报道,在09至10学年度,在美国留学的外国留学生就有690,923人次,同比增长2.9%。 Chinese student enrollment jumped by 30 percent, the report said. Chinesestudents -- with a total of 127,628 -- now account for 18.5 percent of internationalstudents in the United States, according to the Open Doors 2010 report. That makesChina the No. 1 source of international students in the United States. 报道还称,中国留学生注册数目增长了30%。据 Open Doors 2010年发布的报道显示,目前留美中国留学生达到了127,628人次,占全美外国留学生的18.5%。中国留学生成了在美留学学生中最多的一个群体。 Many Chinese say American education is more academically freeing and creativelystimulating, leading to more innovation than traditional Chinese education, whichemphasizes memorization and repetition. 许多中国人都认为美国的教育更为学术化,能采取灵活地方式培养学生学习的主动性,跟传统的只强调培养学生死记硬背和重复原有知识的中国教育相比,美国的教育方式更为灵活创新。Students from India increased by 1.6 percent, to a total of 104,897, during 2009-10,the release said. India is the No. 2 source of foreign students in the United States,with 15.2 percent. 而在同一年度,来自印度的留学生人数增长了1.6%,总人数达到了104.897名,占美国外国留学生的15.2%,是全美留学学生中的第二大群体。 South Korea comes in No. 3, with 72,153 students in the United States during 2009-10, the report says. 与中国和印度留学生相比,在美国留学的韩国留学生有72,153名, 排名第三。 Schools in the United States have stepped up recruitment of foreign students, todiversify their student bodies, as well as to boost their funding. Internationalstudents typically pay much more in tuition and fees than domestic students, whichhelps schools as the weak U.S. economy has tightened government funding. 美国的学院也在不断扩招外国留学生,这不仅仅是为了使在校学生群体更多样化,还为了筹集更多的基金。由于外国留学生的所缴的学杂费往往比本国学生高,这样一来可以为学校建设提供更多基金,以缓解当前美国萧条经济下政府对学院基金投入不足的现状。 Notes: attend : v. 占主导地位 jump:v. 激增 step up: 提高,增加

On today's show we look at a few words as they relate to afamous story in American history: the Lewis and ClarkExpedition. In 1803, the United States purchased a large part ofNorth America from France. The area was called the Louisiana Territory. After the deal was made, President Thomas Jefferson proposed a fact-finding trip, or expedition, tothe Louisiana Territory. He chose Meriwether Lewis to lead the expedition team. Lewis, in turn,asked a friend, William Clark, to join the team in its trip across what is now the northwestern partof the U.S. mainland. There are many things that must be done to organize a complex activity, like an expedition. Thesethings are called logistics. The word logistics has military roots. It comes from a late 19th centuryFrench word, "logistique," meaning sheltering and supplying troops. Now, let's consider two words that sound almost alike. They are "compliment," spelled with theletter "i," and "complement," spelled with an "e." To learn more about both words, we turn toKelly Jean Kelly. She went on her own expedition, of sorts, to find out more about Lewis and Clark. KJK: Anybody who has ever traveled knows how important logistics are. You have to make yourplane reservations if you're flying. You have to make your hotel reservations. You have to figureout how far you're going every day. You have to figure out how to get where you're going ontime and what you need to bring and what you need to have. I am very bad at logistics. It is notmy strength. AM: It is not your strong suit. KJK: It is not my strong suit. KJK: But fortunately I have an absolutely wonderful travel partner, another colleague here inLearning English, named Roger Hsu. And Roger is the videographer and the producer of thehistory videos. And he's very good at telling a story with pictures. I usually think of telling a storywith words. But Roger uses images to tell a story. So, that is one of his great strengths. KJK: Luckily for me, his other great strength is logistics. So, he made sure that we were alwayswhere we needed to be at the right time and with the right equipment. And that was incredibly,incredibly valuable. I'm very thankful for Roger, who is also just a lovely person by the way." AM: So it was important that you were together as a team and someone was able to pick up theslack, meaning to do perhaps what the other person doesn't do very well. KJK: Correct, correct. And this is one of the things that historians talk about with Lewis and Clarkthat those two men had complementary skills. So complementary spelled with an "e" and not withan "i." And compliment is when you say something nice about somebody. So, Roger is a very niceman and a good travel partner. So, that's a compliment. But he and I are complementary in thatwe have different skills but they go together very well. KJK: Some historians say that Lewis was very good at logistics. He organized everything beforethe trip and he bought the supplies that they needed. And he made arrangements with thegovernment to get the money and have everything organized. And William Clark, his partner, wasvery good with the people on the ground. He organized the other soldiers and other people onthe trip. He helped make friendly relationships with the people they met. So Lewis and Clark werean excellent team because they had complementary skills. Thanks, Kelly.
