这就是我们每个人的故事。这颗树就是我们的父母。小时候，我们喜欢和爸爸妈妈玩……长大后，我们就离开他们，只在需要什么东西或者遇到麻烦的时候，才回到他们身边。无论如何，父母永远都在那儿，倾其所有使你快乐。你可能认为这个男孩对树很残酷，但这就是我们每个人对待父母的方式。
　A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

　Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.”“Sorry, but I don’t have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

　One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?”“Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

　One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?”“Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.

　Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you...” the tree said.

　“I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.

　“No more trunk for you to climb on.”

　“I am too old for that now,” the boy said.

　“I really can’t give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.

　“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.

　“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

　This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grown up, we left them, and only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that’s how all of us are treating our parents.

　Take time out during the day for quiet time to listen to your inner voice. You may want to use your quiet time to meditate or pray. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important — even if it’s just 10 minutes a day and you have to sneak away to get it. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life. It enables you to hear God speaking to your heart reminding you of His perfect love for you.

　Be honest with yourself by paying attention to your actions. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. What do your actions say about you? If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more true

一首不错的歌曲......

[歌手简介]

　　Rising from humble beginnings in the small town in Quebec, Celine Dion became one of the biggest international stars in pop music history, selling more than 100million albums worldwide.

　　Dion grew up in an environment full of the inherent chaos and material austerity that comes with a large working-class family. However, the Dion household was also one filled with love for children and music, and her parents and siblings were important figures in the early development of her singing career.

　　Celine Dion began singing in her parents’ piano bar when she was just five years old. By the age of 12 she had written one of her first songs, It Was Only a Dream, which she recorded with the help of her mother and brother and shipped off to a manager named Rene Angelil, whose name they found on the back of an album by Ginette Reno, a popular Francophone singer. After weeks with no response from Angelil, Celine’s brother Michel phoned him and said, "I know you haven’t listened to the tape, because if you had, you would’ve called right away." Angelil dug up the tape and called the family back the same day to

英式英语(English English)和美式英语(American English)的差别是客观存在的，并且在语法上也是有一定差别的。

其实，不单是语法结构方面如此，甚至单词的使用也有这样的倾向。这是说，在"英式英语"和"美式英语"中，假若是用不同的词汇表达同一个意思的，那么，使用"美式英语"的人远较使用"英式英语"者多。

笔者曾对一些用词作过研究，藉此判别上述这种趋势是否普遍存在，结果是肯定的。根据一些英美人士所作的调查，在日常应用的词汇中，"英式英语"和"美式英语"各有表达用语的大约有一千个，其中通用的占了大部分。但所谓"通用"，其实是指英国人采纳了美国人的用词而已。在英、美两国本土以外的地区，使用英文的人习惯了"美式英语"而少用"英式英语"者亦占了大多数。

以下举一些例子说明上述情况的表现。

Antenna，aerial（前者为"美式英语"，后者为"英式英语"，下同）--泛指无线电上使用的"天线"，但antenna远比aerial（或aerial wire）流行。

Apartment，flat--指大厦中的住宅单位，前者也被译为"（住宅）公寓"。不过，东南亚地区目前流行用"座"来表达，故使用flat的机会较多。

Ash，can；dust，bin--指垃圾箱。在美式英语中，含有同等词义的还有garbage can和junk一heap，但英式英语则只有dust一bin（或dust-bin）.香港目前多用dustbin。但废纸篓的两种称呼分别是waste一basket和waste一paper basket，流行度则似乎相等。

Automobile，motor-car--汽车。美式英语很多时更简为auto，如"车祸"即称为auto accident。两个字的使用度似乎相差不大。

Baggage，luggage--行李。这两个字都是总称，故此不能说a baggage（或luggage），而应说a piece of baggage（或luggage），two pieces of baggage等。流行度好像没有多大差别，但要注意：当美国人用luggage的时候，一般是指大的皮箱或皮包。美国人说baggage car（行李车）英国人则说luggage van。

Bank，bill；bank，note--纸币，钞票。Bank-bill是美国人的钞票，但是英国人却用来指"银行与银行之间的汇票"，以bank一note较为流行。campus， school grounds---校园，学校场地。由于美国学上运动近年甚为蓬勃，故此campus一字常见应用，school一grounds则罕有所闻。campus所指的范围包括了整个学校（多指大学）的场地，而非单指花园、操场等开阔的地方。例如campus activities是指大学的"校内活动"，campus building是大学内的建筑群等等。

Canned goods，tinned goods--罐头食物。can和tin是美式英语和英式英语中的同义词，均指保藏预制食物的罐头，tin有时更被音译为："听"。这两个字同时亦可以作动词使用，解作"把食物装罐"。在使用上,canned goods比tinned goods流行。

Department store，stores--百货公司。美国人口中的store，相当于英国人的 shop。百货公司一般规模较普通商店大，分为若干部门(depar-tment)，故称为 departmentstore是很贴切的。这个用词在英国也逐渐流行，代替了英国沿用的stores。

Drawers，Pants--内裤。这两个字的用法应特别留意。Pants在英国指内裤，但在美国却是长裤。(在英国，长裤为 trousers。)所以，当一位外国人说 Pants的时候，你要弄清楚他究竟是英国人还是美国人，不要把内裤变成了长裤。

Editorial，Leading article--社论。英式英语中除了leading article外， Leader一字也可用来指社论。但现时editorial用得最多，甚至香港的《南华早报》(South China Morning Post)也用 ditorial来指其社论。

Gasoline，petrol--汽油。 gasoline有时也写作 gasoline，口语上更可简写为 gas。汽油站是gas Station(＝英 Petrol station)，也可说gasoline station。但是， gasoline bomb(汽油弹)却不能说是 gas bomb。

Long-distance call，trunk call--长途电话。美式英语的 Iong-distance call词义一看便明，远胜于英式英语的trunk call，自然被多数采用。

Overcoat，great coat--大衣，大氅。两字的通用度差不多，但overcoat似乎稍胜一筹。

Radio，wireless--收音机。原本两字后都有set，即radio set及 wireless set，但为了节省，一般都略去。两个字中，当然是美式英语radio流行得多。

Second floor，first floor--二楼。这种对楼宇的层数的称呼方法在不少地区造成了很大的不便。以往，许多楼宇按英式英语的叫法，故此问题尚不大。但近年来，不少的楼宇使用了美式英语的叫法，因此就产生了混乱。现在一般对人家说第若干层楼时，一定要附带说一声“电梯多少字”，以免误会。

Soft-drinks，Minerals--软饮品：汽水等不含酒精的饮料。美式英语的soft-drinks原来泛指不含酒精的饮料，包括汽水和果汁等，现时多用来指汽水，代替了原先的 air-ate water。英式英语的 minerals由于没有 soft-drains那么通行，故此用来指汽水的机会少了，但比较多用来指矿泉水，等于 mineral water。

字母Z的不同读法

There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can’t be cured. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.

　He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.

　She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?”

　She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.

　He said, “Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD.”

　He picked one out and gave her money for it.

　“Would you like me to wrap it for you?” she asked, smiling her cute smile again.

　He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.

　He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn’t. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn’t looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...

　RRRRRING!!!

　One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, “Hello?”

　It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, “You don’t know? He passed away yesterday...”

　The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy’s mother. Later in the day, the mother went into the boy’s room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.

　She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.

　The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD...

　Again there was a piece of paper. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.

　Love is... when you’ve had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, “I Love You.”

　　从前，有一个少年患了癌症，根本无法治愈。他只有18岁，随时都可能死去。他每天都待在家里，由母亲照料着。他从来都没出去过，但在家实在待烦了，想出去走走，母亲也就同意了。

　　他走在大街上，看到了很多商店，经过一家音像店时，他透过橱窗盯了一会儿。然后他停下来，又折回音像店向里望去。他看到了一个非常美丽的同龄女孩，并对她一见钟情。他打开门，走了进去，眼里始终只有她一个人。他不由自主地走到了柜台前，走到那个女孩坐着的地方。

　　女孩抬头问道：“你想要点什么?”

　　她微笑着，他觉得这是他一生中看到的最美的笑容，其实这时他最想做的就是吻她。

　　他结结巴巴地说：“是的，嗯，那个……我想买一张CD。”

　　他随便拿了张CD，连同钱一起递给她。

　　“想让我把它包起来吗?”女孩问，依然带着可爱的笑容。

　　他点了点头。她回到后面，出来的时候，手里拿着包装好的CD，然后交给了他。他接过CD，离开了商店。

　　他回家了。从那以后，这个少年每天都到那家音像店去买一张CD。女孩每次都将CD包好交给他，他也总是把CD带回去，放进自己的衣柜里。这个少年很羞涩，不敢约她出去

　　他真的很想，但却不能。母亲知道后，不断地鼓励他。第二天，他终于鼓起了勇气，像往常一样走进了音像店，

[双语新闻]英国：商业广告无处不在 孕妇肚子成广告牌
Woman Sells Ad Rights to Pregnancy on eBay



摘要：
如果说人的身体是最后一块有待开发的广告空间的话，那么居住在美国密苏里州圣路易斯市的一位名叫爱莎·弗朗西斯的女性则在这一领域有了新的作为，她将自己身怀六甲的大肚子当做了广告牌。

如果说人的身体是最后一块有待开发的广告空间的话，那么居住在美国密苏里州圣路易斯市的一位名叫爱莎·弗朗西斯的女性则在这一领域有了新的作为，她将自己身怀六甲的大肚子当做了广告牌。

据美联社3月11日报道，现年21岁的弗朗西斯已经在著名的eBay网站上将与自己怀孕有关的广告权成功拍卖了出去。来自加利福尼亚州的一家互联网公司则以1000美元的报价最终胜出。该公司在今后一段时间内将独家拥有以下权利：可将公司的商标暂时纹在弗朗西斯的肚子上；同时可在网上对其女儿降生的全过程进行现场直播。

在美国，用自己的身体当作广告牌的并非只有弗朗西斯一个人。居住在美国内布拉斯加州奥马哈市21岁的安得鲁·费舍尔去年曾将一家公司的标志放在自己前额上达1个月之久，而他由此得到的酬劳超过了3.7万美元；来自该国宾夕法尼亚州朗霍恩市的米歇尔·哈奇森则在eBay网站上拍卖了自己刚出生的孩子的着装权，此举使她在1个月的时间里净赚1000美元。

报道说，对于那些大公司来说，这个创意可谓简便易行。做出一些看上去颇为怪异或特别的举动正好可以吸引某些媒体的关注，同时也能在纷繁复杂的广告信息中引起消费者的注意。

对此，美国纽约一家广告公司的弗洛伊德·海耶斯说，“广告界有一个广为人知的理论，那就是一个走在大街上的普通人每天会接收到多达3000条的广告信息”。他还说，“如果有些公司原本打算在其它媒体上作广告，那么我想他们一定会接受上述那种方式，因为他们在媒体那里花掉的钱将会比其支付给这些拍卖者的钱多出很多倍。”

（国际在线独家资讯 张咏）

If the human body is the last frontier for advertising space, then St. Louis resident Asia Francis is helping chart new territory — the big, pregnant belly.

Francis, 21, auctioned off the advertising rights to her pregnancy on eBay. The winning bid of $1,000 went to a California Internet company, giving it exclusive rights to temporarily tattoo its brand-name on Francis’s belly and broadcast the birth of her daughter live on the Internet. The baby is due any day.

The concept of a human billboard is hardly new.

Twenty-one year old Andrew Fischer of Omaha, Neb., earned more than $37,000 last year by bearing a corporate logo on his forehead for a month. Michele Hutchison of Lanhorne, Pa., auctioned ad rights for her baby’s clothing on eBay last year, seeking $1,000 for a months’ lease.

For big companies, the idea is simple. Do something outrageous or strange, grab some media attention and cut through the clutter of advertising messages that bombards consumers.

"It’s a well-held theory in the advertising industry that the average person on the street receives up to 3,000 branded messages a day," said Floyd Hayes, whose New York advertising firm, Cunning Communications, specializes in media stunts.

The pregnant belly is prime real estate for auction because its likely to get people talking, Hayes said.

"If they were to buy the free coverage they will receive for this, it would cost them many times more the fee they paid the person," he said.

与比尔·盖茨面对面（中英对照）- -Tag： 比尔·盖茨　中英文


Before Microsoft came along, there really was no software industry was just a few companies selling very high-priced software only to companies, big companies. The idea of low-cost software that would be empowering for individuals and that them could be literally around the world hundreds of thousands of these successful companies-that was part of the Microsoft dream. And in fact, the software industry is 10,000 times bigger because of the work we do. The vast majority of all the revenue in the software business is because Microsoft has a uniform platform that has gotten out to go around the world. And so in every country we’ve helped companies grow up, create jobs, pay taxes around the software world. The main competitors who don’t like us are actually hardware companies who have been used to charging very high prices for the hardware and the PCs changed that.

微软成立之前并没有真正的软件业,只有几家公司向另外一些大公司以高昂价格销售软件而已。低成本软件的意念适用于个人,并在世界上拥有无数家成功的公司一一那是微软的部分梦想。事实上,经过我们的努力,软件业的规模已经扩大了一万倍。软件业的收益如此巨大是因为微软有一个标准的平台应用于全世界。所以在每一个国家,我们都在软件业中帮助公司发展、创造就业机会、交纳税款。和我们想法不一样的主要竞争者——实际上是硬件公司，他们习惯于高价销售硬件,而个人电脑改变了这种现象。

It’s hard to think of a business that’s had a more positive effect for customers than the PC business. The rate of product improvement, the kind of empowerment it provides, its ability to create and stay in touch. You known the closest comparison is when publishing came along and people had books. Of course books created a problem. You know, the people wanted to control things didn’t like books, the people who wanted to sell high-priced hand written things didn’t like the printing press. But overwhelming it was something that people knew really that it was very positive. The same thing’s happened with the PC. There’s no company that in terms of our work has gotten as positive feedback and you how has gotten as broad a set of users. Those users are always telling us what they’d like to see us make better, and that’s partly why it’s a fun business because we get to make new versions of the software all the time.

很难想出有哪个行业能比个人电脑行业对客户产生更积极的影响。产品的升级换代频率使得创造力跟上社会的步伐。你知道,打个最贴切的比喻说吧,有了出版后,人们拥有了书。当然有书就产生了问题。当时人们想要控制书本,想高价出卖手写体的人不喜欢印刷品。但不可避免的是,人们发现印刷品确实是积极有用的东西。个人电脑也一样。在我们这一行,没有哪家公司得到过积极的反馈且拥有大量用户。那些用户总会告诉我们,他们想看到我们做得更好,那就是为什么它是一个有趣行业的部分原因,因为我们一直在出产新版软件。

Well, the vision of Microsoft is about information as you want it, any time, anywhere, any place. And this is an overall strategy about making it easier to write software, easier to share data, revolutionizing user interface with the speech and handwriting. And making reading off the computer as good or better than paper and so today we’re as radical as ever in seeing that the horizons for software will let us get so much more than even what we have now.

微软的想法是,让人们得到想要的信息,无论何时、何地都能得到。这是一个总体战略,使得编写软件更容易,共享数据更容易,使用户界面的言语和书写革命化。使得电脑阅读与书面阅读一样好,甚至更好,所以我们今天跟以往一样很激动地看到,软件的界面将会注我们得到比现在所拥有的更多东西。

The digital future includes lots of specialized devices. If all you want to do is make a voice call, you will have a device for that, if all you want to do is take a photo, you’ll have a device for that. The PC of course will be the device whenever you want to see a full-size screen to do anything with documents or web browsing or planning, you’ll use that. Now sometimes these devices will be combined together and we have enough partners who make these devices that every possible combination will be tried. You know putting the phone and the camera togethe

Every woman is beautiful

每一个女人都漂亮



A little boy asked his mother "Why are you crying?"

一个男孩问他的妈妈：“ 你为什么要哭呢？”

"Because I’m a woman," she told him.

妈妈说：“因为我是女人啊。”

"I don’t understand," he said.

男孩说：“我不懂。”

His mum just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

他妈妈抱起他说：“你永远不会懂的。”




Later the little boy asked his father,"Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

后来小男孩就问他爸爸：“妈妈为什么毫无理由的哭呢？”

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

他爸爸只能说：“所有女人都这样。”





The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

小男孩长大了，成为一个男人，但他仍就不懂女人为什么哭泣。




Finally he put in a call to God; and when God got on the phone, he asked,"God, why do women cry so easily?"

最后，他打电话给上帝；在上帝拿起电话时，他问道：“上帝，女人为什么那么容易哭泣呢？”


God said: "When I made the woman, she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort."

上帝回答说：“当我创造女人时，就让她很特别。我使她的肩膀能挑起整个世界；同时却又柔情似水。”



"I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children."

“我让她的内心很坚强，能够承受分娩的痛苦，并能多次忍受来自自己孩子的拒绝。”



"I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining."

“我赋予她耐心使她能在别人选择放弃的时候继续坚持着，并且无怨无悔的照顾自己的家人渡过疾病与疲劳。”


"I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly."

“我赋予她在任何情况下都会爱孩子的感情，即使她的孩子伤害了她。”




"I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart."

“我赋予她包容她丈夫过错的坚强，并用他的勒骨塑成她来保护他的心。”

"I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly."

“我赋予她智慧让她知道一个好丈夫是绝不会伤害他的妻子的，但有时我也会考验她支持自己丈夫的坚持与决心。”

"And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

“最后，我让她可以流泪。只要她愿意，这是她所独有的。”

"You see, the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair."

“你看，女人的漂亮不是因为她穿的衣服，她保持的体型或者她梳头的方式。”


"The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."

“女人的美丽必须要从她的眼睛中去看，因为那是她心灵的窗口，爱居住的地方。”


Every Woman is beautifull.

每个女人都美丽。

第一日 The First Day


I wish I could remember the first day,

　　First hour, first moment of your meeting me,

　　If bright or dim the season,

　　It might be summer or winter for aught I can say.

　　So unrecorded did it slip away,

　　So blind was I to see and foresee,

　　So dull to mark the budding of my tree

　　That would not blossom yet for many a May.

　　If only I could recollect it,

　　Such a day of days!

　　Let it come and go as traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;

　　It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;

　　If only now I could reed that touch,

　　First touch of hand in hand-Did one but know!


只因我疏忽大意,它悄然流逝不留痕迹,

　　只因我茫然无知，不曾留意亦未能预知,

　　只因我不以为然，未曾看到小树

　　过去了一个又一个五月，花儿都没有绽放。

　　多希望我能记住它,

　　那时光中的一日!我却放任它

　　如融雪般全然消逝；

　　它现在看似无足轻重,其实当时意味深长；

　　多希望我能重温那感觉,

　　第一次牵手的感觉——可我那时不懂啊!

我爱你并不是因为你是谁，而是因为我在你身边的时候我是谁。

I love you not for whom you are, but who I am when I’m by your side.

thankful.

不带脏字的英文骂人法
http://www.sina.com.cn 2004/12/16 11:17 21世纪人才报·大学周刊


　　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？

Women who enjoy a drink of beer or wine daily have sharper minds into old age than women who abstain, U.S. researchers reported recently.

The report, based on a study of nearly 12,500 nurses, adds to the apparent benefits of light to moderate drinking, which can also prevent heart disease and stroke.

"Our study suggests that moderate consumption might provide older women some cognitive benefits," said Dr. Francine Grodstein of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, who worked on the study.

Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, Grodstein and colleagues said they found that drinkers aged 70 to 81 were 20 percent less likely to experience a decline in their thinking skills over a two-year period than women who did not drink at all.

On average, the women who quaffed a beer or a glass of wine each day tended to have the mental agility of someone a year and a half younger than abstainers.

Drinking more than one glass of beer or wine didn’t produce a greater benefit, the researchers said. However, few of the nurses in the study were heavy drinkers.

And it didn’t seem to matter whether the women drank wine or beer, according to the team, led by Dr. Meir Stampfer, also of Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Moderate alcohol consumption -- about a 12-ounce (0.35 liters) beer or a six-ounce (0.18 liters) glass of wine -- is already known to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

The researchers used the ongoing Nurses’ Health Study, in which the women filled out questionnaires about drinking habits and took a telephone survey designed to assess thinking skills.

In an editorial in the Journal, Dr. Denis Evans and Dr. Julia Bienias of the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, cautioned that the findings are not conclusive.

It may simply be, they said, "that older persons who are in good cognitive and physical health may be more likely than less healthy peers to indulge in low-to-moderate alcohol consumption as part of their social activities."

最近，美国研究者们的研究报告显示：女性中每天喝啤酒或葡萄酒的人和那些从不喝酒的人相比，到晚年她们的大脑思维更加敏捷。

该报告对将近12500名护士进行了调查，调查显示少量或适度饮酒不仅对身体健康有明显的好处，而且还能预防心脏病和中风。

“研究（结果）显示，适度饮酒有助于提高老年妇女的思维能力。”从事此项研究的弗朗辛· 格罗斯坦医生说，她在波士顿布莱根妇女医院和哈佛大学医学院工作。

格罗斯坦和同事们在《新英格兰医学期刊》上写道，他们发现年龄在70至81岁的妇女中，在两年时间中，饮酒者大脑思维能力衰退的可能性比戒酒者少20%。

每天喝一杯啤酒或葡萄酒的女性的思维能力平均比同龄戒酒女性年轻1岁半。

研究者们称，（每日）饮酒多于一杯并未产生更明显的保健效果，然而参与本研究的护士中鲜有过度饮酒者。

同样来自布莱根妇科医院的医生迈尔·施坦普费尔带领的小组进行的研究结果显示，妇女饮用葡萄酒或啤酒的（保健）效果区别不大。

适度饮酒--约12盎司（0.35升）啤酒或6盎司（0.18升）葡萄酒--早已为大家所公认，可以降低患心脏病和中风的危险。

研究者们借助正在进行的“护士健康调查”来进行研究，护士们填写了有关饮酒习惯的问卷调查并接受专门为评估思维能力设计的电话调查。

在该期刊的一篇评论中，芝加哥拉什大学医学中心的丹尼斯·埃文斯医生和朱利亚·比尼亚斯医生警告说，这些发现并不是很确凿。

他们说，事实也许很简单，“那些身心健康的老年人也许比不健康的同龄人更喜欢将少量或适度饮酒作为社交活动的一部分。”
