经典背诵文章荟瘁(经典) Archaeology is a source of history, not just a bumble auxiliary discipline. Archaeological data are historical documents in their own right, not mere illustrations to written texts, Just as much as any other historian, an archaeologist studies and tries to reconstitute the process that has created the human world in which we live - and us ourselves in so far as we are each creatures of our age and social environment. Archaeological data are all changes in the material world resulting from human action or, more succinctly, the fossilized results of human behavior. The sum total of these constitutes what may be called the archaeological record. This record exhibits certain peculiarities and deficiencies the consequences of which produce a rather superficial contrast between archaeological history and the more familiar kind based upon written records. Not all human behavior fossilizes. The words I utter and you hear as vibrations in the air are certainly human changes in the material world and may be of great historical significance. Yet they leave no sort of trace in the archaeological records unless they are captured by a Dictaphone or written down by a clerk. The movement of troops on the battlefield may "change the course of history," but this is equally ephemeral from the archaeologist’s standpoint. What are perhaps worse, most organic materials are perishable. Everything made of wood, hide, wool, linen, grass, hair, and similar materials will decay and vanish in dust in a few years or centuries, save under very exceptional conditions. In a relatively brief period the archaeological record is reduce to mere scraps of stone, bone, glass, metal, and earthenware. Still modern archaeology, by applying appropriate techniques and comparative methods, aided by a few lucky finds from peat-bogs, deserts, and frozen soils, is able to fill up a good deal of the gap.
不带脏字的英文骂人法 中国人常用“骂人不带一个脏字”来形容那些会骂人又刻薄的人。在英语中,我们反感那些以P、以D开头的肮脏字眼!而对于处于极度愤怒中的人来说难免也需要口头发泄发泄,但为了避免那种引人反感且自我反感的脏话,他们也许可以从下面的语言表达中学到点什么……   1,Hey!wise up!放聪明点好吗?   当别人做了蠢事时,你可以说,“Don"t be stupid!”或“Don"t be silly.”但这是非常不礼貌的说法。客气一点的说法就是:Wise up!你也可以用尖酸刻薄的语气说:Wise up, please.然后故意把please的尾音拉得长长的。   2,Put up or shut up.要么你就去做,不然就给我闭嘴。   要注意的是,Put up字典上查不到“自己去做”的意思,但口语表达则有此意。   3,You eat with that mouth?你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗?   别人对你说脏话,你就回敬他这句,言下之意是你的嘴那么脏,你还用它吃饭?还有一种说法:“You kiss your mother with that mouth?”你用这张脏嘴亲你妈妈吗?   所以下次记得如果有老外对你说脏话,不要再骂回去,保持风度,说一句,“You eat with that mouth?”就扯平了。   4,You are dead meat.你死定了。   也可以说:“You are dead.”你完蛋了。   5,Don"t you dare!How dare you!你好大的胆子啊! 这句话可以在两种场合说,第一种是很严肃的场合,如小孩子很调皮,不听话,父母就会说,“Don"t you dare!”意思是你给我当心点,不然等会就要挨打了。另一种场合是开玩笑,如有人说他要跟某网友约会,你说“Don"t you dare?”就有点开玩笑的语气,你不怕被恐龙给吃了吗?   6,Don"t push me around.不要摆布我。   通常当我讲这句话时,我还会想到一个字“bossy”,像是老板一样,喜欢指挥别人。如:“You are so bossy. I Don"t like that.”这句话也可以单讲,“Don"t push me.”或“Don"t push me any further.”。   7,You want to step outside?想到外去单挑吗?   二个人一言不合吵起来了,可能就有人要说这句了,指的就是要不要出去打架啦。我还听过类似的用法,如:“Do you want to pick a fight?”你要挑起争端吗?
