英语口语自学宝典  第一章 概述  第二章 英文单句复述  第三章 英文短文复述  第四章 常用万能词汇点点通  第五章 中文单句英文翻译  第六章 中文短文英文翻译  第七章 看图说话  第一节:图片表达  第二节:图表表达  第三节:话题演讲  第八章 攻破死角――如何说数字、日期  第九章 日常生活中事物的描述  第一节:物品描述  第二节:人物描述  第三节:事情描述  第十章 魔鬼跟读      第一章 概述    笔者深信有兴趣看本文的读者,必定是对英语口语学习感兴趣的人,而对于英语的学习应该也会有几年的历史。有一个问题,不知道大家有没有问过自己,“我们学习英语学了这么多年,用了自己多少的精力,花费了自己多少的金钱,可学来的英语是用来做什么呢?”    那么,到底什么是英语?什么又是语言呢?在美国传统字典里对语言Language的解释是:The use by human beings of voice sounds, and often written symbols representing these sounds, in organized combinations and patterns in order to express and communicate thoughts and feelings. 翻译成汉语就是:人类声音的使用,并且经常是代表这些声音的文字符号,并以有条理的组合和形式出现,目的是为了表达和交流思想和感情。    简而言之,语言包括汉语、英语、法语、德语、日语、韩语等等,是人们用来交流和沟通的工具。工具诞生和存在的意义是被有效的使用,而不是让人们终生学习“使用说明”和“制作方法”。语言的应用无外乎两个方面,读和写。尽管绝大部分的国人对于英文写作的水平有限,但是经历了这么多年的考试的历练,至少还是得到了一定程度的锻炼,可以应付一般的交流,当然是在没有十分苛刻要求的前提下。    尽管语言最主要的应用是说,通过声音的交流。很不幸,在传统教育的体制下,英语语言表述的能力被残忍并有效的忽略了,原因很简单,因为中考不考,高考也不考,甚至大学的毕业证、学位证和口语能力也没有直接的在考核方面的挂钩。试想如果我们从小一路走来,在学习英语的时候,口语能力的考核就开始要求。那么在大学毕业的时候,每一个同学都可以说一口倍儿地道的带有中式口音的英语了。    学习英语的目的是用来与人交流和沟通的,如果不想让自己多年学习英语的辛苦付诸东流,从现在起,就要开始练习开口说了!    笔者对于英语的学习和研究也有十几年的历史,对于口语的水平也是略通皮毛。点滴心得希望与大家分享。    英语口语的学习其实与婴儿学话的过程是一样的。再次问一下自己,“如果以分钟累加计算,我们曾经开口讲英语的时间是多少呢?”注意,此处一定是自己开口说的时间,是与 他人用英语交谈的时间减去他人讲话时间。一个星期!相信这是一个比较实际的平均值,可能还有略低。大家用自己的发达脑细胞琢磨一下,一个星期就想把英语说的流利地道,这可能吗?充其量也就是一个美国幼儿园水平,绝对不会超过小学生水平。    婴儿是如何学会开口讲话的呢?无论任何国家任何地区任何民族的小孩子的语言能力都是从叫爸爸妈妈开始,逐渐说一些简单的并且一定程度上带有语法错误或者词汇使用不当的句子,然后才是聊一些简单的日常的话题,(显然,谈朝核问题是不行的),随着接受家庭、学校和社会教育,5年左右的时间就可以很流畅应用英语了。    所以,不要幻想,我们是大学生或者成年人,就要谈那些用汉语可以随心所欲交流的生僻的话题,比如军事、历史、政治、文学等等。首先,我们要很谦虚谨慎的给自己一个定位――我们仅仅是幼儿园以下的水平。  如果我们可以很平和的接受自己的定位,那么,英语口语学习的征途就可以启程了!在后面的几个章节中,对于口语的练习都有详细的方法和计划。希望大家可以按照要求不断地练习,也祝福大家在口语能力方面会有一个质的飞跃!    本文,尽量在书写和材料筛选上增强知识性和趣味性,并认真的做了一些修订,但由于笔者水平有限,难免会有诸多的错误和不足!欢迎大家批评指正交流!

Now I understood why I chose to come talk to this man about marriage instead of taking an easier route and getting married outside both our religions  17.

We will stand together behind our new president.  18. But in one of God's unforeseen paths, this belatedly broken impasse can point us all to a new common ground, for its very closeness can serve to remind us that we are one people with a shared history and a shared destiny  19. The thinking behind that 1990 effort can be tracked back to HP's beginnings, about which Packard said: “We weren't interested in the idea of making money. Our idea was, if you couldn't find a job, you'd make one for yourself.  20. Someone said that Bush's political base was built on twin platforms: his Rangers celebrity and the prodigious31 campaigning he had done for his father throughout Texas in 1980, 1984, 1988 and 1992. In 1992, after his father lost in his presidential re-election, Bush began to run for Governor of Texas.

They killed several of them, when one of the Frogs, lifting his head out of the water, cried out: "Please stop, my boys: what is fun to you, is death to us.”  2. I was born in a quite small village with no long rivers or high mountains; Sky is always blue, air is fresh all the time, we could see all kinds of plants and wild animals everywhere. All the people are very friendly and nice to each other. They make their living on farming on the poor land which could not make them rich but enough to raise families. I went away from my home village 10 years ago, I miss my village a lot.  3. One day, the tiger and the fox are talking. The fox says, “Do you believe that all the animals in the forest are scared of me not you?” The tiger doesn’t believe and follows the fox to the forest. All the animals are very frightened when they see the tiger and run away. The tiger is shocked and thinks that the animals are scared of the fox. The fox is very happy because in fact it depends on the terror of the tiger to frighten the animals  4. One day, a little horse is going to see his grandpa, on the way to grandpa’s house, he needs to cross a river. He has no idea how deep the water is, so he stays by the river waiting for help. Later, one rabbit comes, and warns him not to try because one of his friends was drawn right here. Little horse is scared by the words of the rabbit. After the leaving of the rabbit, an elephant arrives and tells the little horse to cross it right now, as there is no any danger at all, he crosses the river several times each day. Little horse is so confused; finally he decides to have a try by putting one of his front legs into the river. It is not deep for him at all, he arrives the other shore safely.  5. A boy, returning alone from the pasture, was pursued by a Wolf. Seeing he could not escape, he turned round, and said: "I know, friend wolf, that I must be your lunch, but before I die I would ask of you one favor, you will sing a song for me to which I may dance." The Wolf agreed, and while he was singing the Kid was dancing, some hunting dogs hearing the sound ran up and began chasing the Wolf. Turning to the Kid, he said, "It is just what I deserve; for I, who am only a butcher, should not sing songs to please you."  6. A cat and a monkey live in the same house. They are very close friends. One day, they sit by the fire. They are watching some chestnuts on the fire. They want to get them. “I am happy to get them,” says the monkey. “But you are much better at such things than I am. Take them out and both of us can eat them.” The cat is happy with the words. She tries many times and takes all the chestnuts out. But her paw is injured. They eat the chestnuts up. Then a man comes in and finds all the chestnuts are gone. He finds the cat’s paw is injured. So he thinks the cat eats all the chestnuts. He is angry with the cat and drives her away  7. Tom put his hand into a pot full of candies. He grasped as many as he could possibly hold, but when he tried to pull out his hand, he was prevented from doing so by the neck of the pot. Unwilling to lose his candies, and yet unable to withdraw his hand, he burst into tears. A bystander said to him, "Be satisfied with half the quantity, and you will readily draw out your hand."  8. A dog and a cock being great friends, agreed to travel together. At nightfall they took shelter in a thick wood. The Cock flying up, perched himself on the branches of a tree, while the dog found a bed beneath in the hollow trunk. When the morning dawned, the Cock, as usual, crowed very loudly several times. A Fox heard the sound wishing to make a breakfast on him, came and stood under the branches, saying how earnestly he desired to make the acquaintance of the owner of so magnificent a voice. The Cock, suspecting his civilities, said: "Sir, I wish you would do me the favor of going around to the hollow trunk below me, and waking my porter, so that he may open the door and let you in." When the Fox approached the tree, the Dog sprang out and caught him, and tore him into pieces  9. A pair of oxen were drawing a heavily loaded wagon along a miry country road. They had to use all their strength to pull the wagon, but they did not complain. The wheels of the wagon were of a different sort. Though the task they had to do was very light compared with that of the oxen, they creaked and groaned at every turn. The poor oxen, pulling with all their might to draw the wagon through the deep mud, had their ears filled with the loud complaining of the wheels. And this, you may well know, made their work so much the harder to endure. “Silence!” the oxen cried at last, out of patience,  “What have you wheels to complain about so loudly?  We are drawing all the weight, not you, and we are keeping still about it besides”  10. Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.      强化训练  1. Eight cyclists have been killed in southern Italy after a car collided with them on a two-lane road.   Reports from the scene say the driver apparently lost control of his car while trying to overtake another vehicle, and collided head-on with cyclists. Seven died instantly and the eighth died while in medical care. Several others were injured.   The driver of the car, a Moroccan national, was arrested. Police are quoted as saying he tested positive for marijuana.   The accident took place near the city of Lamezia Terme, near Italy's southern tip  2. XUZHOU, Jiangsu - One of China's high-speed trains broke the world record for unmodified commercial use on Friday during trial service, the Ministry of Railways said   The train CRH380A hit a speed of 486.1 kms per hour on the tracks between Zaozhuang city of Shandong province and Bengbu city in eastern Anhui province, which form a segment of the world's longest high-speed rail line linking Beijing and Shanghai   The train's previous speed record was 416.6 kms per hour set on Sept 28 during its run between Shanghai and Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang province   "It not only marks a milestone in the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, but also is a major achievement of China's technology innovation," said Wang Yongping, spokesman of the Ministry of Railways (MOR)   It shows China leads the world in high-speed railway development, he said   3. A new dawn in communications is heralded by the launch of the UK's first English-language Chinese paper   China Daily, China's leading English-language newspaper, will appear as a new weekly edition on UK news stands from Friday, December 3  Eager to help bridge the current affairs gap that exists between China and Europe, China Daily European Weekly follows the highly successful launch of the China Daily US and Hong Kong editions. Today, China Daily has a worldwide circulation of nearly 400,000. The European edition will be distributed in the UK and from Brussels, building on China Daily's aspiration to be a newspaper which provides a window for China to understand and be understood by the world.   It will cover politics, business, culture and society, delivering in-depth and intelligent analysis of news and issues of interest to both European and Chinese readers  Renzhong Zhi, General Manager of China Daily UK, said: "We identified a gap to provide a useful source of news and analysis to European businesses seeking to better understand and engage with China. As more partnerships develop between China and the West, it is crucial that there exists a regular source of insight on changing trends   While there is an element of breaking news, the majority of the paper seeks to provide a more in-depth review of headlines of the week a useful guide to help readers understand the emerging opportunities that exist between China and Europe," he added   China Daily European Weekly is available from news agents and through distributors from 3 December 2010  4. A Bangladeshi-flagged ship is believed to have been seized by pirates off southern India, say shipping officials.   The MV Jahan Moni was attacked after a long pursuit near the Lakshadweep group of islands, some 300km (185 miles) from the Indian coast.   The ship, with 25 Bangladeshi crew on board, was on its way from Singapore to Europe via the Suez Canal.   Bangladeshi Rear Admiral Bazlur Rahman said the crew had raised the alarm and the ship was now moving erratically.   "We lost contact with the ship at 5.38pm (1138 GMT) Bangladesh time after it was attacked by pirates for the second time. We suspect the ship has been captured by the pirates," Adm Rahman told the AFP news agency.   "All symptoms are there that the pirates have taken control of the ship   "It was chased by the pirates for more than an hour," said Adm Rahman, adding that the boat had sent out a distress signal.   "Now it is showing erratic movement.”   The Bangladesh Shipping Department said it had sought help from the Indian coastguard and from anti-piracy teams in Dubai and Singapore.   Several nations are involved in operations to tackle Somalia-based piracy in the busy shipping lanes of the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.   Somali pirates have been seizing ships increasingly far away from their homeland, but have never been known to operate so close to India.  5. Iran's intelligence minister says the country has made a number of arrests following attacks on two prominent nuclear scientists in Tehran on Monday.   One scientist was killed and another left seriously injured.   Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said a number of people were identified and arrested in connection with what he called the two terrorist attacks   Mr Moslehi did not identify the suspects, nor did he say how many people had been arrested.   But he did repeat Iran's claim that the intelligence services of the US, Britain, and Israel were responsible for the attacks   The two scientists, Majid Shahriari and Fereydoon Abbasi, were targeted separately as each drove to work on Monday morning.   Reports said motorcyclists drove alongside the scientists' cars, attached magnetised bombs to the side of the vehicles, and then drove away.   The bombs exploded, killing Dr Shahriari and seriously injuring Dr Abbasi.   The attacks and subsequent arrests come just a few days before Iran is due to restart talks on its nuclear programme with the permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany.  6. The Obama administration is launching a national competition called Race to the Top. States will compete for more than four billion dollars in grants to support the best plans for improving schools. President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced the details last week.   BARACK OBAMA: "This competition will not be based on politics or ideology or the preferences of a particular interest group. Instead, it will be based on a simple principle: whether a state is ready to do what works. We will use the best evidence available to determine whether a state can meet a few key benchmarks for reform. And states that outperform. The rest will be rewarded with a grant.”   The president wants the United States to regain the world's highest college graduation rates, especially in math and science. His target is two thousand twenty. But he says the education system is "falling short" and "countries that out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow.”   The United States is one of thirty countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The OECD has the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA. Every three years PISA measures the performance of fifteen-year-olds.   In two thousand six, the United States had lower scores in mathematics than twenty-three of the other twenty-nine OECD countries. Sixteen countries did better in science.  7. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is due to hold key talks on civil nuclear cooperation with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.   The two parties are expected to sign an agreement for the construction of two French nuclear reactors in India, during the meeting in Delhi.   France is a leading world exporter of civilian nuclear technology.   Mr Sarkozy is on a four-day official visit to India. On Saturday, he visited a space research facility in Bangalore.   The president has backed India's bid for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council and supported India's membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), a gathering of countries which export civil nuclear technology.   Reports say that the two countries are likely to sign an agreement paving the way for two French reactors worth nearly £6.3bn ($10bn) to be constructed in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.   Correspondents say that the deal will be good news for India - which is desperately short of energy to fuel its booming economy.   France is the world's second largest producer of nuclear energy after the United States.   It hopes to be at the forefront of an international revival of the industry which analysts say will benefit from worries about global warming and soaring energy prices.   India has 22 nuclear reactors and is seeking to expand its nuclear energy sector, opening up a market estimated at £90bn ($142bn) over 15 years.   The country - now seen as a strategic partner for both the European Union and the US - has a population of 1.1 billion.   It gets only a tiny fraction of its electricity from nuclear power.   Supporters of the deal say that having more nuclear plants in India could help reduce global demand for oil and gas while at the same time significantly reducing the country's pollution levels.  8. Eurozone retail sales returned to growth in October, following two months of falls, figures have shown.   Sales in October were up by 0.5% from September, and 1.8% higher than a year ago, Eurostat said.   The increase was bigger than analysts' forecasts for a 0.2% rise, however there were big variations between different eurozone countries.   German retail sales jumped by 2.3% in October, whereas in France sales were down by 0.1%.   Eurostat said that eurozone sales of food, drink and tobacco rose by 1% in October, whereas non-food sales increased by just 0.1%.   For the European Union as a whole, retail sales were up by 0.4% in October, and also showed a 1.8% annual increase.   Howard Archer, chief UK and European Economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "It must be borne in mind that the fundamentals are still not that great for consumer spending given that the eurozone unemployment rate is currently at a 12-year high of 10.1%, wage growth is muted, and tighter fiscal policy will increasingly kick in across the region over the coming months.   "The suspicion is therefore that eurozone consumers will remain pretty cautious in their spending." 基础练习部分,无论是词汇还是句型的难度上都较为简单。刚开始练习的时候比较容易建立自信心,但是由于练习的数量较大,所以,真心希望自己口语水平能够提高的朋友一定要坚持。    后面的强化训练部分,都来源于chinadaily, BBC和VOA等知名网站的原文,所以难度偏高,阅读英文的原文,然后再进行复述,这是锻炼和提高自己英式思维和扩大自己词汇量的最佳途径。    建议刚开始训练的时候,只是简单的概括性复述文章的主要内容,随着自己水平的提升,可以侧重于一些细节的部分。魔鬼藏在细节当中,所以,检验自己水平高低的方法,就可以通过自己对细节的掌控程度来判断。    希望对大家有所帮助

31,849 $0.00 回复: 口语自学宝典――十年口语学习精华第四章 常用万能词汇点点通    相信大多数人在练习或者使用口语时,习惯于用汉语组织语言,然后再翻译成英文。这样势必会带来一个问题,汉语表达中的某个词汇在自己有限的英文词库中找不到与之完全匹配的单词。表现出来的结果就是说着说着突然停了下来,不吭声,或者恩啊不断。    那么在英语中,有没有一些万能词汇可以解决这种尴尬的局面呢?     结果是肯定的。在本章中,我们就重点向大家介绍一下英语交流中经常使用的一些很简单却很实用的万能词汇。 万能名词:    首先,向大家介绍的是万能的名词。在汉语里面我们经常用到的一个名词,可以代替任何的物品,这个词就是“东西”。 对于东西一次的来历有多种说法,其中一种的解释是:南宋大学者朱熹,一天要去拜访他的老友盛温和,正赶上盛先生提着篮子上街买菜。朱熹问道:“你这是要去哪里啊?”盛先生回答:“上街买东西。”朱熹很好奇,又问:“那么南北也可以买吗?”盛温和回答说:“在五行上,东为木,西为金,我的篮子可以装木也可以装金,所以可以装东西;南为火,北为水,篮子不能装火和水,所以不能装南北。”     英语中有一个词汇英语很广泛,那就是something,既可以指代东西,还可以指代事情。那么它的妙处在哪里呢?即使我们的英文的词汇量已经很大了,但是在说英语的时候还是会遇到很名词不知道应该如何说。比如说:电视遥控器。那么我们就可以这样讲:“I need something to control the TV, like turning it on or changing channels.”这样别人就可以完全理解,你需要的是电视遥控器。同样,比如我们想说去为菜园子中的蔬菜施肥,但一时间找不到施肥应该如何讲,其实可以简单的表述为:“I am going to my vegetable garden to add something to my plants to make sure them grow better.”这样的表述可能不是很准确,但是总要好过抓耳挠腮后仍找不到答案的落寞。   万能形容词:    众所周知,形容词分为褒义词,贬义词和中性词。多数的褒义词的祖师爷都是一个词好;贬义词应该都起源于一个词坏;常见中性词都来自一个词还可以。基于这种分析,那么万能的英语形容词现在就可以横空出世了。    褒义形容词之间的区别在于针对的内容和程度的不同,那么大部分的褒义词都可以用一个单词good概括,并加入所强调的内容或者程度即可。当然,这种所谓的万能词汇,在意思的表达上面可能不够准确或者不够全面,我们这里向大家介绍的也是仅仅是一种应急的方式和手段,我们可以通过做一些解释和补充说明来避免产生歧义或者误会。例如:  1. 他是善良的,我们就可以翻译成:he has a good heart, and helps people all the time.  2. 他很聪明。 我们可以表述为:He has a good brain and could learn a lot in a shot time.  3. 他很勇敢。我们可以说:He is good with courage, and would do anything if needed.    同样,贬义词都可以总结为坏,bad成为贬义形容词的一个代表,例如:  1. 他是一个邪恶的人。可以说:His mind is totally bad, and did many bad thing which is bad for others.  2. 这种生物实在是太丑陋了!我们不妨尝试着表述为:This kind of creature is too bad looking.  3. 这个人没有受过很高的教育,所以看起来有些粗鲁。This man looks bad when doing things with no proper manner, as he is not well educated. 这句话中,bad when doing thing,的意思和粗鲁感觉上有些偏差,所以,后面可以加上一句with no proper manner加以进一步的解释说明,使句子更加准确。    或许你已经猜到了,应对中性词最好的替补就是:OK!这个词我们再熟悉不过了。让我们一起来看一下吧:  1. Tom对于昨天这件不愉快事情的处理是可以接受的。The way how Tom handled the unpleasant event yesterday is OK. 在本句中,OK的意思可以理解为“可以接受的”。  2. 把会议的时间定在下周一是合适的。It is OK that we schedule the meeting on next Monday。 这里,OK的意思就是合适的。  3. 在这场激烈的争论中,我的弟弟的观点是中立的。The point of my little brother is OK with everyone in the serious argument。    在我们有限的可能存在偏差的些许例句中,您可能已经渐渐感觉到一点点这句用法的好处,对于这种用法掌握的熟练程度,还需要大家在以后的日常生活交流中仔细的琢磨、逐步的完善,并且只有坚持下来,才能看到它的效果。万能动词:    有些外国人认为中国人并不热情好客,愿意创造并维护世界和平,而是一个好战的民族,因为在汉语中做太多的事情是都使用一个动词:打。比如:打篮球,打牌,打针,打饭,打车,打开电视,打赤脚,打酱油,打电话,甚至打Kiss。“打”已经完全溶于了我们的衣食住行生活中的方方面面。“打”也几乎成为了一个汉语中的万能词汇。    不难想象在英语中,同样存在这与“打”承担者同样重要角色的词汇:do,get,take,have, make等等。下面让我们来详细的了解一下。

31,849 $0.00 回复: 口语自学宝典――十年口语学习精华继续详细讲解万能词汇:    首先,我们说万能名词,英语词汇中存在数量巨大的名词,名词根据表达对象的性质可以笼统的分成两大类,一类是具体的名词;一类是抽象名词。具体类的名词又可以分成三种:人物、事物和地点。上面的帖子是一个比较浅显的入门级的介绍,举得两个例子都是事物,遥控器和肥料。    名称 上一类别 上一类别 上一类别 上一类别  seabird bird animal creature something  novel book paper material something  professor teacher person human someone  classroom room building place somewhere    每一个名词都有自己的一个属性,因此我们可以追溯到他上一个类别,人物类最终可以归结为someone或者somebody;事物类为something;地点类为somewhere。任何的名词,如果我们不知道如何说的时候,转换一下思路,用他的上一个类别做指代,然后加上必要的解释和说明,意思就会变得更完整准确。不多说,直接上例子:    我们在路上遇到自己的朋友,邀请对方和自己一起去书店买书。这时候我们可以说:Hi, would like go to book store with me, I need to buy a novel.  很不幸,如果我们不知道novel(小说)这个单词,那么应该如何处理呢?    首先,上升一个类别,用book代替。Would you like go to book shop with me, I need to buy a story book. 当然,故事书和小说不完全一样,我们还可以加一个更加详细的说明。A story book about what happened between two persons who love each other. 这样我们就表达出言情小说的意思了。    其次,我们还可以再上升一个类别,用tool代替。书籍是我们学习知识的工具。I need to by some paper which is printed with words telling people a love story.感觉上稍显牵强,但是如果我们有一个语境,联系到上下文,就很容易理解了。    最后,杀手锏级的重量词汇,鼻祖级的单词something登场。I need to buy something to read, and I like love stories. 强调一次,这样做并不是鼓励大家要按照这个套路去学习口语,这只是一种很无奈的保定的解决方案。如果大家有时间和精力,还是鼓励去记忆更多的词汇。    用something来代替很简单,那么如何做进一步的解释和说明呢?前面的帖子我们已经谈及描述一个物品的方法和思路,形状、大小、形状、材质和用途等等。如果从外观上很容易描述,那么我们就从外观上入手,否则就从功能和或者用途上来描述。比如,我们生活中最常见的水water,如果从外观上去说,那就是无色无味无毒的液体。显然,表述起来稍显吃力,最好还是从用途上加以说明。水是用来做什么的?但简单了,用来喝的。答案也揭晓了。something to drink. 那么,会有人说,那还有可能是可口可乐呢,不一定是水!很好,下面我们再加入一个限定性的说明。Something to drink, you could get it from river, lake, or well. 这样就排除可口可乐的可能行了。如果从河里面捞出来的可口可乐相信也没人敢喝,那是别人扔的! 再举一个例子,前文谈到的电视遥控器,如果从外观上去描述,长方体,15cm左右长,用塑料材质做成的,上面还有很多的按键,通过红外线实现他的功能。显然外观很吃力,那么我们还是从功能上着手。遥控器是用来做什么的?    用来打开或者关闭电视,更改频道的东西。    那么,我们就可以说: I need someting to control the TV turning it off and on or changing the chanels.    对于人物和地点的方法和物品的描述是一样的。希望大家可以自己体会揣摩。 javascript:void(0)

31,849 $0.00 回复: 口语自学宝典――十年口语学习精华万能名词练习:尝试用somewhere来替换以下词汇,必要时加上解释和说明,使意思更加准确。        地点类:    Kitchen  Somewhere in room for cooking      Bedroom:   Somewhere in house for sleeping with bed inside      Garden:  A piece of land, somewhere we could plant flowers       Village:   Somewhere in countryside which is not big place    School:  Somewhere teachers teach the students       Cinema:  Somewhere we could watch movies with a group of people together     Market:   Somewhere all kinds of good being sold      Hometown:   Somewhere you were born or living for a long time      Hospital:  Somewhere we will go when sick, there are doctors and medicines前面对于万能名词的分析以及如何使用,都是针对于具体的名词,都是我们生活中可以看得到摸得到的对象,我们分别可以用something,someone,somebody或者somewhere代替,并加以必要的解释和说明。而在英语中还有一些抽象的词汇,比如:喜怒哀乐,爱恨情仇。    显然这些词汇无法用something,someone,somebody或者somewhere来代替。那么我们应该如何应对呢?    思路是一样的,每一个名词都有自己的属性和类别。我们可以用它的上一级甚至上上一级词汇代替,然后辅以解释和说明。比如:love,爱是一种感觉或者感情,感受。可以做出如下解释:love is kind of feeling that we would be dying without somebody or we would feel terrible if we could not see someone.万能形容词 练习篇      1.他是一个文武双全的人才。  在翻译这句话的时候有一个难点那就是文武双全这个成语。前文在讲解臭名昭著的时候已经讲解过了,对于这种我们没有办法驾驭的词汇。我们必要先把汉语进行转译把难度降下来,然后在进行表述。    直译:He is a good man who is good at both arts and physical skills.  文武双全是一个褒义词,使用good替换,并且加以详细的解释。文借用我们高中的时候的文理科的文arts,理科是science,大学里还有工科engineering。武,武功武术,我们可以根绝音译kongfu,当然老外也是懂得的。physical skill是武术的意思。这种翻译相当于根据字面的意思直译。下面我们还可以看一下另一种译法,我个人更倾向于这种。    意译:He is a good man who is brilliant and powerful. 此处,brilliant指聪明的,暗指文化方面强悍。powerful有力量的,强大的,侧重于体力体质方面。这种说法虽然简单和我们汉语的意思表面看起来稍有偏差,但是这种说法更符合英美人的习惯,是一种地道的易于理解的说法。 javascript:void(0) 2.此情此景令人难以忘怀。    The feeling we have and the beautiful thing we see at this moment is so good that we will not forget.      3.虽然他没有取得我们的同意就擅自做主,但是也是可以理解的。    It is OK for us, though he made the decision without permission from us    4. 这个价位虽然不合理,但也是可以接受的。    The price is unreasonable but it is still OK for us.    5. 他做的都是一些令人发指的事情。    What he has done is so bad that making people very angry    6. 他的爸爸是一个臭名昭著的人。    His father has a very bad reputation其实强化英式思维能力的关键在于建立英语和我们看到的场景和事件之间的一个很强的映射,比如我们看到阿拉伯数字1,我们想到的应该是11>eleven,而不是11->十一 >eleven。 在马路上看到一辆车,首先想到的是Car,而不是车>car。     前文已经提过了,学习英语在于日积月累和生活中的方方面面。因此,您不一定每天抽出来3个小时来学习英语,任何时候都可以,比如,在桌子上看到一个杯子,你就可以对他进行一个简单的描述。当然,不要用汉语去组织语言然后翻译,而是直接用英文描述,可以简单一点。This is a cup, it is made of glass, it is not expensive, we could buy it everywhere like a supermarket. But I like it very much. javascript:void(0)

The difficulty is always there waiting for you if you decide to do something; the failure is always there with you if you do nothing.  22. The best memory of this city is the dignity of the splendid Yangzte river; the unforgettable taste of the city is the attractive smell of a bowl or noodle with sesame sauce  23. Your girlfriend could be a boy in the internet world, your boyfriend could be a girl, it is cruel, but you need to accept it.  24. I can not hate you as we loved each other, while I can not love you as we hurt each other serously, so we could only be the most familiar strangers  25. I forced myself to leave when I hoped he would love you more than I do, I am not gifted to calm down quickly, I would try to forget you  because I love you.  26. Someone keeps to be nobody, the reason why they could not make any achievement is that they never have the idea of being successful in their mind or have no idea how to succeed but not being unqualified,  27. I'd like to buy a bus when I am rich, go on the road special for bus, stop at bus stops, I would tell them, sorry, this is private if somebody want to get on.  28. Do you know one kind of bird without feet, flying in the sky and sleeping in the wind when tired, land once in his life time only when dying.  29. We all should have a burning candle in our hearts, make the fire be bigger and wider by our endless hard working. This candle should be our target in mind.  30.

There are all kinds of understanding of values, you will persue for life time without complaining once you recognize any; There are different thoughts in the world, You would believe in it till dead once you accept any.  2. Being infrustated or failed is almost mental but not real, we could change it but not being arranged by god. Reality provides the excuse for the failures to make them feel better. While the belief of destiny will put out the fire of hope.  3. All the miserable experience we went through when young is not scared, the experience both being disspointed and depressed would become the treasure. You would find the only one who could defeat you is yourself, when you persit.  4. 小时候刚学骑自行车,还不太会就跑到大街上,看到前面一个老大爷在走,自己感觉要撞上,就大叫,不要动,不要动。那个老大爷一下站在那里没有动,结果我拐来拐去,还是撞上了。老大爷站起来说,你瞄准呢?  5. 生活中其实没有绝境。绝境在于你自己的心没有打开。你把自己的心封闭起来,使他陷入一片黑暗你的生活怎么可能拥有光明!封闭的心,如同没有窗户的房间,你会处在永恒的黑暗中。但实际上四周只是一层纸,一捅就破,外面则是一片光辉灿烂的天空。 4. I started to learn how to ride bicycle when I was a little boy, I went to street while I was not skilled enough. Seeing a old man walking in the street, I shouted, do not move, stand where you are when I realized I was going to hit him. I tried my best to avoid hitting him, unfortunately I crashed on him as the old man was standing still. He stood up and said, were you taking me as a target?  5. There is no hopeless situation in life. Feeling hopeless is due to keeping your heart sealed. How could a sealed heart get sunshine while restricted in darkness. A heart hiden in darkness is just like a room without windows, You would be kept in eternal darkness. Acctually it is just a layer of paper around you. It will be broken just by one finger poking, then you will find the sunshine and blue sky.   javascript:void(0)

You may have to do some part time job like being a tutor or doing labor work selling your work at a low price while you are in trouble of living. However nobody is qualified enough to look down upon you, since you are making a living on your own, bulding a future with your hands. Maybe you are a young man with dreams and no money, probably you wound get an admirable achievement years later, becasue all the suffering experience makes you understand the true meaning of life.  7. No matter when I am feeling good or bad, I like to tell me the story to inspire myself, in a quite grassland of Africa, A strong loin is thinking when sunseting, I have to run fastest to catch the fastest running antilope when sunrising tomorrow morning. Meanwhile an antilope is thinking I must run as fast as I can to get away from the fastest running loin when sunrising tomorrow morning. No matter who you are, a loin or an antilope, what you should do is running at your best. javascript:void(0) 8. 曾经有一份真诚的爱情摆在我的面前,我没有珍惜,等到失去的时候才追悔莫及,人世间最痛苦的事情莫过于此。如果上天能够给我一个重新来过的机会,我会对那个女孩子说三个字:‘我爱你’。如果非要给这份爱加上一个期限,我希望是,一万年。”        因为这是一段经典和典型的台词,此处精讲。  英文的翻译讲究信达雅三个境界,不仅笔译如此,口译也是如此:    由于本人水平有限,不敢在高手在众多的天涯班门弄斧,只和大家分享一下自己的一点心得。不谈信达雅,只谈直译版相当于达的境界和意译版相当于信的级别。    先说直译版:Once upon a time, (很多童话故事都是这样开头的)There's a piece of sincere love in front of me, I didn't treasure/ cherish. When I lost it, I regret deeply. There is nothing more painful than this in the world. If god could give me one more chance, I'd like to tell that girl, I love me, If I am reqested to give a timeline, I hope that will be ten thousand years.    以上的话如果是对一个中国人说,我相信他可以理解,而且是很理解。但是注意我们说英语的目的是和外国人交流。所以,说话时要考虑对方是否可以听明白和理解。比如第一句,there is a piece of love in front of me, 首先,感情love 这个词能否用 a piece of 来度量。我在google上面搜索了一下,应该是有这种说法,但是我看过的电影或者听过的歌曲里面似乎没有听过老外有过这样的表述。另外就是感情摆在我的面前,貌似不符合老外的思维方式。这种方式值得商榷。还有就是最好的如果我非要加一段期限,如果翻译成为:If you want to know how long time I will keep loving you. 感觉上更符合老外的用法。而最好的我希望是一万年,ten thousand years,对于中国人的传统文化一万代表数量巨大,代表无尽或者永恒,但是英语中没有这样的解释。老外更习惯的用法是forever,ever lasting, eternally。浪漫一点的说法可以是I will love till the end of the world. Or I will not stop loving you untill you stoping loving me.      因此,我个人更喜欢下面更为简单的意译版: A girl loved me, I didn't care. After she left me, I hated myself so much. It is the worst thing in the world. If god could give one one more chance, I will tell that girl I love you forever/till the end of the world.     这个版本的妙处在于浅显易懂,轻松驾驭,而表达的意义却更为简练地道,表达的方式和英式方式也更加接近。 javascript:void(0)

The lift goes into the rooms directly with a minimum size of 400 square meters equiped with as many communication medias as we could such as: wide band, optical cable, satellite and so on.     There is a garden at the rooftop, an indoor swimming poor, a English housekeeper standing at the door with wig, so gentlemanly, required to say: May I help you sir? no matter the house owner is in the need of help or not with a genuine accent of London making the owner feel extremly respected.     We also will build a noble school with textbook bought into from Harvard. The students would pay dozens of thousand dollars just for the tuition. What's more, we will build an American style clinic running for 24 hours everyday. It is so expensive that it would cost you thousands yuan to cure flu. All the neighbours are driving either BMW or Mercedes, you will feel ashamed to greet if you are driving a Japanese car. How much do you think should we sell for per square meter of the house like this? I think 2000 dollars at least. What? 2000 dollars, that's the cost. At least 4000 dollars, with no any discount, you will get no chance to say it's expensive. We have the study the mind of the owners who is willing to pay for 2000 dollars for per square meter will not mind paying 2000 dollars more. What is so called successful man, being successful is to buy the most expensive things but not the best. So, our guide line of the business of real estate is to offer the dearest instead of the best. javascript:void(0)

Finally, He felt released and pround of himself.When I am looking at this pictures, I remember the days when I was a boy, I usually went to the river and catch frogs just for fun. It was wrong, when I grew up, I never hurt frogs any more.

One day, Tom was walking on the street, suddenly he fell down because of stepping on a watermelon skin. Three person are looking at him at the same time, his mother, his teacher and a stranger.     His mother came to him concernedly and asked him what happen, warried about him, suggested him to go hospital with her if he felt bad.    His teacher was looking at him and tried hard to figure out what happened. Why did he fall down, Is there anything the school should do to prevent such accident take place on the other students    The strange was laughing at him and thinking, what a careless boy, however he is not my boy. Let me just have a look. It is fun.    I think such thing would only be possible happen in China. If it happened in Amecica, it would be the most normal thing and the kid would stand up like nothing happened.     Children will learn more from failure and pain. There is no need to pay so much attention on the tiny things, so the new generation of China could make a bright future.
