Do you know the word of "internship"

2008-08-26T17:47:00.000-07:00

Hello, everybody,
Here is Kins talking with you.
Now i will talk about the word of “internship".

internship

Internship is a good word.

It has two meanings. The first is to mean "a job that lasts for a short time, that someone especially a student, does in order to gain experience".(实习职位)

The other is to mean"a job that someone who has nearly finished training as a doctor does in a hospital".(实习医师职位)

Here is a story about this word.

When I read an article in the website of Mylot.It is about a myloter who will leave for a time because she has gotten an internship.Then her mylot's friends see her post and give her many responses.Below are these:

Chirrieatu: All my dear mylotters, no matter whether you are on my friends list, I have to leave mylot for some days. Recently, I have been taking driving lessons. Meanwhile, I have just got an internship as an English teacher. Thus I don't have that much time to take part in the discussion here. I'll drop by from time to time. Enjoy your discussion here. I will miss you all.

Myloter responses:
By lanyoublue：
BabY,I will miss you,hope you could come back quick! When you come back,I hope to share the story you have experience!

Then Chirrieatu replies：I will miss you all too. I think this internship will lead me to some new people and new experience. While I have something new to say. I will share with you all here.

By Desierral004：
Hie Chrissie, wish you all the best and drop by when you have the time I am sure there will be interesting discussions awaiting for you anytime in here. I have been busy with my new job too and trying to steal some time on and off in here. Hope to bump into you again next time. Cheers and have a wonderful time wherever you are.

Then Chirrieatu replies：Thank you for saying so. This internship would be my first real job. Thus I am excited and nervous at the same time. However, I am sure that I will have some more interesting experience and meet some new people. After that I will have a lot more to discuss with you all. Enjoy your days too.

From thess dialogues, we can see internshio is a job,actually it means a new experience for a person.Here it takes the first meaning.

用身份证激活Moneybookers账户的方法

首先扫描好你的身份证，用WINDOWS自带的画图软件编辑或其它图像编辑软件，在身份证图片旁边将身份证上的信息翻译并写上。

Birthady:你的生日(日-月-年)
Adress:你的英文地址

NO. ****************** *为你的身份证号码
The People's Republic of China
Resident ID card

图片文件格式保存为 JPEG 或者 GIF，文件大小应小于364KB。
然后寄往这个电子邮箱service@moneybookers.com。
一般48小时内就会激活成功的。
祝大家顺利!

激活Moneybookers账户有什么好处

1、不激活MB账户，每90天最多现金流量为1160美元左右，激活后约有17000美元左右的流量。
2、激活后可以用支票取款，也可用e-gold取钱(现在金价上涨暂时不支持)。
3、欧洲用户可以把钱转到其银行帐户上。

MB激活账户的手续比较麻烦，有时它可能还会要求你提供证明你现在居住地址的票据(如电话、保险单据都可以)证明，只要是能证明你现在居住的都可以。你扫描一份通过E-MAIL传给它就行了~~~~
　
把Moneybookers账户内的钱转入国内银行账户的方法

1、首先应到国内银行（如中行、农行等）办一个外汇账户。以便MB将钱转入该账户。
2、然后访问国内银行网站查询或直接询问银行的 SWIFT CODE 。
3、登录你的MB账户在 Profile 里填写国内银行的账号资料
3、最后在MB账户内选withdraw 把钱转到你的银行账号，约 4~5 天入账。

每次直接把钱转入你的国内银行账户手续费为 USD 2.2，如果你的MB账户没有通过身份验证也可以照样可以转钱，手续费相同！

查swift code办法：
打开 http://www.swift.com/biconline/
依次填入银行名、城市名、选择国家
最后点搜索，就可以查看到国内银行的swift code了！

进入moneybooker中国站点

不得不介绍的综合赚钱论坛

2008-08-17T00:44:00.000-07:00

为什么要介绍Mylot这个论坛网站给想赚钱和学好地道英语的你？

第一，它是全美语的，更重要的是它是美语论坛，它能为你提供一个口语交流的范本；

第二，它是全免费的，更重要的是它是和用户一起成长的。什么意思？就是网站公司将网站广告收入与用户共享。简单一点，你如果是它的用户，你在网站内发表帖子，你是可以实实在在赚到美圆的。

第三，它是你的第一个创业梦想的起点。

为什么这么讲？其实网站经营靠什么？靠人流量。现在站主把人流量的一部分收入返给你，就在帮你建立一个商业平台，你需要去不断的经营这个平台。

经营这个平台的方法很简单，把你认识的朋友都介绍过来，一起学习英语，一起获得收益。比如，你组织一个英语学习兴趣小组，你自己可以利用这个免费平台，要求所有需要参加的朋友都到你这个兴趣小组来讨论，交流就好，不必刻意去经营它。

或许你喜欢在天涯的某个英语话题发表自己的意见，那么现在你只需要把那个话题移到这里，告诉朋友加入，并把赚钱的事和他分享，我觉得谁都会同意。

第四，它是一个交流的测试平台，如果你能够在这个平台上很好的和来自世界各地的朋友流利的交流，你的外语水平可以出国了，至少你可以去外企工作了。

下面对MYLOT做一个入门性的介绍。

本人用了10年的，最喜欢的国外话题论坛--Mylot，非常适合于具有一定英语水平和想练习提高英语水平的朋友，本人在朋友的介绍下加入了很长一段时间了，基本是没发表一个主题获得0.05$。

Mylot论坛类似于国内网易等各大门户网站的论坛，只是界面有些不同，是一个典型的话题论坛，论坛会员大都来自英语国家，例如美国，澳大利亚及欧洲的一些国家。话题非常广泛，从日常生活到国际大事，从一般话题到科学探讨等等，只要不违反基本站规，都可以发表和参与讨论。

Mylot 的特别之处在于，它会把论坛的广告收入的一部分拿来奖励会员，即只要你发表话题或参与讨论，每一个主题帖或回复帖都能得到相应的奖励，目前奖励幅度是一贴1－5美分，至少会有1－2美分。

如果你写的内容质量高，其他会员会给你评分，提高你的奖励幅度，所谓质量高的帖子，是指非灌水帖，往往需要写到2－4行，如果你对话题很感兴趣，可以多写一些，有会员感觉你的观点好的话，会评分，同时也可能会被帖主评为最佳回复，这时候奖励幅度会大大提高。

一般如果认真看帖子或回复，并且比较活跃的话（活跃是指经常登陆论坛参与讨论），一般奖励标准会稳定在每帖3－4美分。我刚加入两个礼拜时，基本上稳定在每帖5美分左右。

Mylot 论坛很正规，一个表现就是论坛有措施来清理垃圾灌水帖，最初某些会员为了尽快赚钱，发大量垃圾灌水帖或拷贝别人的回复作为自己的，大大影响了论坛讨论质量，一个礼拜之前，论坛推出新规，打击灌水行为，会员发现这样的行为也可以举报，屡教不改者取消会员资格。如今论坛的帖子质量大大提高，在里面单是看帖子，就能收获很大！

不说赚钱，因为毕竟靠这个成不了百万富翁，只是作为一种小小的外快。

下面说一下对于英语水平提高的作用！

从练习和提高英语水平来讲，这个论坛可谓是绝佳的场所。学习英语讲究语言环境，国内也有很多大大小小的英语学习的论坛，但是参与者往往是中国人，难免会出现很多中国式英语，即使一些英语聊天室也是如此。

而 Mylot 则不同，它是一个国外论坛，前面提到了它的会员大多来自英语国家，讨论中使用的英语都很地道，单是在 Mylot 里看别人的帖子，就能学习到很多词汇和表达方式，如果有兴趣，可以亲自发表回复或开主题帖，由于话题广泛，因此是非常好的练习和提高英语水平的地方！

我个人的感受是，收获巨大。自加入后，通过看帖和发表回复，很多原来遗忘的单词和句法都已经恢复，同时还学了很多新俚语和表达方法。

必须说明的一点，该论坛适合于具有一定英语基础的朋友（最起码你的日常口语850个单词要认识），因为在里面面对的都是老外，你写的东西要能够让人看懂，同时又要能够读懂别人的东西；如果英语水平还比较薄弱的话，建议你先把基础打好。

当然如果你真的非常感兴趣，就是要试一下会不会骗人，能不能赚到实实在在的美圆，欢迎你！这样的朋友至少可以多看看别人写的东西，相当于阅读理解训练了！呵呵！

英语水平可以的朋友，千万别错过注册机会！
立即点击加入mylot，边学英语，边赚钱！（Mylot采用paypal支付报酬，也支持moneybooker）关于这个话题了，大家有什么问题，可以在此留言给我。

附，相关注册及发表帖子说明（引用自网络）

Mylot 国外最强大的英语论坛，可以练英语又可赚钱！！

一、介绍：
Mylot 是一个国外超强英语论坛站, 可以通过和外国人的交流练习正宗的英语。你发帖或者图片还会赚美元，开始肯能是1帖1美分，也可更高，看贴的质量。等级提高后，最多是5美分1帖。你也可以推荐别人加入，回给你提成。呵呵，学英语有赚钱，何乐而不为！！

上手后一个月一千两千人民币没问题。
千万别灌水！

需要说明的是：该网站每天晚上9点钟左右计算前一天当地时间0点到24点每个会员的收入，（所以发帖的收入不会立即显示）。
可用paypal，或 egold收款，月底统计，满10美元或更高，第二个月15号前支付。

二、注册方法: 点击加入mylot进入网站，出现下面图片，在new user?下面输入你想要的用户名，一这要用英语和拼音，在英文站，所有信息都要用英语和拼音的，汉字在老外电脑上，大多不会正常显示----------

上面提交后，就出现如下，请详细填写：

完了你到你的邮箱收系统发给你的信，点击信里面的链接你的帐号就激活了。激后就可以登陆主页，现在可以发帖学英语、赚钱了。

三、如何发贴，回复赚钱：

点start a new discussion进入发贴区，manage interests是发表你感兴趣的事物有关的话题，而general discussion是发表大众类,这里有两种情况:
一、点general discussion直接进入发贴页面，选好topic和内容，要加关键字(tag),不加就skip跳过它，点post new disscussion就发贴成功．
---------------------
二、还可以点manage interests，会跳出很多兴趣，点add,输入你发与这个兴趣相关贴子所要显示的用户名，输入后点add,你每添加一个兴趣，都会在start a new discussion里面显示一个小图标，你可以点一个小图标，发表你感兴趣的事物有关的话题，选好 topic和内容，要加关键字(tag),不加就skip跳过它，点post new disscussion就发贴成功

today's top discussions 今日热门话题

听懂新闻英语的十大方法

2008-08-01T22:42:00.001-07:00

听懂新闻英语的十大方法

（一）尽量先以自己熟悉的语言了解新闻内容

刚到 ICRT 国内新闻中心上班的外籍记者，虽然多半中文程度并不差，但是有时候「新闻中文」并不强，在翻译或阅读一些中文的新闻稿时，虽然可以查单字，但要完全了解整体的意思，往往有些困难。发生这样的状况，我会建议他们先去看英文报纸的同样一则新闻，透过自己的母语，了解其中的来龙去脉，再回来看中文稿时，本来以为很复杂的内容，就变得简单多了。

同样的，在进行当天的英文新闻学习前，先从中文的媒体了解当天主要的国际或国内新闻内容，在听英文新闻时，就容易多了。当然，这是在学习期间，过了入门的阶段，就不需要了。

（二）掌握各类新闻英语的有限单字

世界之广，事件之多，大部分的人一定认为，要掌握新闻英语的相关单字，恐怕好几千个，要背完一整本的新闻字库，才有办法听懂。这个想法似乎很合逻辑，但是其实有个极大的错误，从政治新闻到娱乐新闻，当然很可能有几千个单字，但是相关的单字每几个月，甚至每几年才出现一次，就是所谓的rarely used vocabulary（罕见单字），例如：「multilateral currency realignment」（跨国货币调整）或「planned obsolescence」（计画的陈废），如果连这些也要背，那可真是不得了。

幸好，每天新闻会遇到的单字，八成五以上，都是我们称为的commonly used vocabulary （常用单字）。换言之，只要你能掌握这五、六百个重复出现的单字（也就是本书所介绍的字汇），就可以听懂八成五以上的新闻。其它一些较专门的财经或科学等新闻字汇，等主要的单字会了之后，再慢慢的增加难度。

（三）遇到听不懂的地方不要去想它，继续听下去

你一定有个经验，在听英语新闻或英语节目时，遇到一个你不会的字或没听清楚的段落，就开始想它的意思，往往造成接下来的内容全都没听清楚。所谓「一心不能二用」，绝不可以在听的同时，边想前一句的意思，要养成一个习惯，那就是遇到不太懂的地方不要停下来思考，专心听下去。

某个段落没听懂，可能的原因有几个，也许有个没学过的单字，或有较特殊的句型，也许主播播报的速度一时加快，甚至自己分心没听好。无论原因是什幺，不管它就继续听下去，还是有可能将主要内容听懂，因为九成的时候，漏掉一点，不会是关键到让你无法连接下面的意思，但是如果思惟卡在前一句，肯定全军覆没。

但如果另外那一成确实是关键呢？要是有空，可以上网找相关内容的新闻，了解一下是否有关键单字或内容较不熟悉，如果是重要新闻，一般来讲不会报一次就不报了，可以收听当天其它整点新闻的播报，也许还可以听到同样的新闻，也许听第二次就完全了解了！

（四）不要太在乎特殊难懂的人名及地名

2000 年初夏，裴济发生政变，没多久就宣布戒严令，军方的领导人，头衔连姓名叫「Fiji military commander Commodore Frank Bainimarama」，每次我播报新闻，念到这里时，都差点要吃螺丝。想一想，连我都要花时间先练习这些较难念的名字，而听众听我播报，三秒就过去了，难怪有人对这些外国人名及地名叫苦连天。遇到这样的状况时，该怎幺办呢？别理它吧！说实话，我自己听 BBC 或 CNN 的新闻，也常常听到不太熟悉的人名或地名，如某国家的人，也许我没听过，很可能听完新闻你再问我，我也答不出来他的名字，但是多半时候对了解新闻内容并不影响，我只要知道他是某国的国会领导人就够了。再如俄罗斯南部某个难念的小城镇发生什幺事，清楚它他是俄罗斯南部的小城镇，足够我了解新闻内容。你也可以试试这种方法，不要为复杂的名称所困扰。当然，重要的新闻人物及地名还是得熟悉一下。

（五）以正确的播报速度来学习

我刚来时，常常有人找我为一些英文教材配音。进录音室时，我坐在麦克风前，拿了稿子开始念，没念几句，负责人请我是否可以念慢些，于是我从头开始，放慢了速度，念了几句，他又问我可不可以再慢些。等到教材出版后，我听了卡带，自认为不但听起来怪怪的，对学会也没有帮助，因为人正常说话根本不是这样的。

经常有本地朋友抱怨，我在 ICRT 播报新闻的速度，快得让他们听不太懂，我只能说，这是播报新闻正常的速度，即使 ICRT 播的慢些，等到你要听 BBC 或 CNN ，还是会听不懂。那该怎幺办呢？我来台湾时，基本的中文会话不成问题，时间久了，报纸也能读看，但是打开中广或三台的新闻，还是觉得「雾煞煞」，于是我将中文新闻录音下来，重复的听，如果不会的单字，请朋友帮忙听一下，听到上百遍，直到完全听懂为止。因为我自己这样的练习，现在听中文新闻，一个字都不会漏掉。有了手上的这套教材，你不用自己录音，更不需要麻烦别人帮忙听，但是你会发现，专业的播音员录制在 CD 片上的新闻都是以正常的速度播报，因为这样才能真正的学会新闻英语，如果听不太懂，多听几次，一定大有进展。但是，如果用一些速度放慢的教材，那只能永远听教材，真正新闻的速度会跟不上。

（六）尽快锁定大略的新闻内容

不知你是否注意过，听英语新闻时，主播经常会在报某条新闻前，来句类似「And now in
sports...」（现在进入体育新闻），或「Turning to the Middle East ...」（转向中东地区...）或「In U.S. election race news...」（有关美国选举新闻...）等，没有一定格式或说法，这样短短的一句，就是要让不同类型新闻的转变自然些。

播报某条新闻前，来个这样的「自我介绍」，对学习新闻英语是很有帮助的。怎幺说呢？我举个简单的例子，到目前为止，我听得懂的台语还是有限，如果随便跟我说几句，我很可能听不懂，但是若有人先让我知道他准备跟我聊的话题，接下来对我就容易的多了。这个情形跟新闻前给你一个小提示一样，知道即将要接收哪一类的讯息，可以先准备一下自己的思惟。

当然，不是每条新闻前都会给你这样的提示，要是没有，自己也得赶快锁定内容及方向，如果看电视新闻的话，可以试着从画面了解是哪一类的新闻；若是广播的话，也应该从第一句就可以判断。

（七）经常听，经常练习

或许你会认为这幺简单的道理不用说也知道，但是你会发现，最简单的道理也是最重要的。
我记得刚来台湾不久，中文尚未十分流利，只要回美国几个星期，回台湾之后，讲起中文来，舌头便不听使唤，结结巴巴的。后来，我与美国史丹福大学的一个东方语言学教授聊起来，他说，其实只要每天花点时间接触它，就可以完全避免这样的状况。
《新闻英语８周打通关》的课程可以让你在最短的时间内听懂大部分重要的新闻内容，但是八周后还是要每天或每两天找点时间打开收音机或电视听听英语新闻，维持「基本工夫」。

（八）虽然要「听」新闻，正确的「说」也很重要

本书的目的，是让你打好收听新闻英语的基础，做个一流的「听众」，但听力再怎幺好的中国人，不会自己想做英语主播，所以为什幺要管发音呢？其实，这个道理是很简单，如果自己对某一个新闻单字的发音不对，很可能会听不懂，例如唱片或记录叫「record」，录音也叫「record」，但是前者念﹝re'cord﹞，后者念﹝'record﹞，如果认为这个字只有一个发音，很可能就会弄混。
有时候也很容易将两个不同单字的发音弄混，例如：「Philadelphia battered Chicago,
winning 14 to 1.」（费城击败芝加哥，以 14 比 1 赢球。）如果这句的「battered」听成「batted」，虽然发音接近，但意思就不对了。避免这方面问题最好的方法，就是听本书所附的 CD 时，单字的部分自己也跟着念。如果花一点时间确定自己的发音是否正确，对听懂新闻英语也会有帮助。

（九）了解学习新闻英语的过程及进步的速度

学习任何东西，尤其是语言，就像滚雪球一样，愈滚愈大，到了某个阶段，学习的速度会自然而然的加快。学习新闻英语的起步阶段，也许经常觉得听不懂，但是继续努力，不知不觉会发现，费的精神较少，但听得懂的部分变多了。

为何了解这个过程是诀窍之一呢？因为很多人还不到「半途」就以为自己学不会，但是其实只要有恒心，绝对可以有令人非常满意的成果。

（十）对自己有信心

一定有人说，讲这个谁都知道，但不少人对自己却是没有信心或信心缺乏，而对自己学习的进度及成果大打折扣。英文有句话：「We are our own worst enemy.」（最大的敌人，便是自己），虽然学新闻英语一点都不难，但如果心里想：「我一定学不会。」还没有开始奋战，已经被自己打败了，要突破自己设下的心里障碍，比实际学习的障碍还更困难。

我记得在美国刚开始学中文时，有一天在纽约唐人街的书店拿起一本厚厚的中文小说，书名三个字我只认得第一个字──「红」，翻开看看，里面只认得几个零星的字。当时我心里想，真的会有一天我能看得懂这个吗？对外国人而言，要认得汉字可是一件极为艰难的事，不过我当时告诉自己，我一定要学会，绝不轻易「罢休」。

当时我在唐人街手握着的书，书名的另外两个字是「楼梦」，至今《红楼梦》我看过三遍。如果当时我想：「啊！这个太难了，学一百年都学不会。」我现在认得的中文，可能还是那零星的几个字。所以在强烈的学习欲望及好方法之外，也要对自己有信心，英文有另外一句话，就是「What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.」（心想事成），加油 !

英语听力的训练方法

2008-08-01T22:42:00.000-07:00

英语听力的训练方法总结

一. 听说训练中应注意几个问题

　　一般英语学习者，在全面提高英语的前提下，要提高听、说能力，应首先注意以下三点：

　　1.注意区分和模仿正确的语音、语调

　　在英语里有不少读音相近，但意思却截然不同的词汇，象cure(医愈)和 kill(杀死),menu(菜单)和manure(肥料)等。设想如果有一个医生想说:"I'll cure you."(我要治好你的病。)却因发音不好,说成:"I'll kill you."(我要杀死你。)那病人会吓成什么样子。又比如,有人对你说:" I am thirty.My wife is thirty,too."而你听到的却是:" I am dirty. My wife is dirty,too."你一定会莫名其妙。实际上,所差之外就是一个音素。因此,我们从一开始就要注意区分和模仿正确的语音,语调。在这个基础上提高听、说，才能收到良好效果。

　　2.创造一定的听、说环境

　　听、说是一种语言交流，没有一个外语环境或一定的听、说条件，只靠单枪匹马很难收效。当然，现代科学为我们提供了录音机这一工具，我们可以把课文，对话和中外成品磁带录制下来反复听和模仿。还可以把自己的口头作文和复述录下来，仔细审听，发现问题，及时纠正。但是，在自然条件下，听与说是不能分的。一个人听的过程实际是另一个人说的过程。如果有条件的话，最好能把自学的伙伴组织起来，定期开展会话活动，或利用社会上，公园中提供的"外语之角"等条件，既练了说，又练了听，在实际的语言环境中练习，才能取得长足的进步。

　　3.要有不怕听错，说错，不断苦练的精神

　　练习听、说的学习者，特别是成年人，往往必听错、说错，不敢主支张口练习。然而，语言是一种习惯，没有反复的操练和实践难以产生熟练的技巧。会话重在达意，只要达到交流思想的目的，这种听、说实践就应该说是基本成功的。出了错，注意总结经验，自学改正就是了。

二.听力训练的四个阶段

　　⑴入门阶段

　　这个阶段适合初学者。在学完字母及一些简单句型和词汇后即可开始。一般可以进行三各听力练习：

　　1）句型练习：做这项练习时，可以把句型、词汇及语法三项结合起来。这方面有不少国内外出版的句型练习教科书及录音带。

　　2）浅显易懂的英语小故事：听小故事也是这一阶段听力训练的重要步骤。如《罗宾汉的故事》(GRIMM'S TALES),<<伊索寓言>>(AESOP'SFABLES)等。

　　3）中外录制的教科书课文:中外出版的一些英语教科书内容丰富,课文有相当的长度和难度。如果学习时配合听课文录音,或先听后读或学了之后再听,都可以达到从声音入手反复熟悉课文的目的,既学了课文,又练了听力。

　　最后,在入门阶段,尽管掌握的英语不多,还是应该努力把听和说结合起来,积极利用学过的内容,组织自学伙伴,开展对话。有条件的话,争取能听听中外籍人士用英语介绍生活,学习或英,美情况的小报告,即使兴能勉强听懂一部分也应尝试。

　　⑵初级阶段

　　这一阶段仍属基础学习阶段。主要任务是扩大,加深和巩固入门阶段所学成果,可以从以下几方面进行训练习:

　　1)继续听句型练习和小故事。

　　2）选听各种报告录音，扩大听的内容：为了扩大词汇，并逐步适应不同口音和年龄的讲话，这一阶段可选听一些浅易的英美历史、地理、风俗人情的报告。英美人士访华印象的讲话也是很好的内容。这些讲话一般以半小时左右为宜，既增长知识又提高听力。

　　3）开始收听电台对外广播。

　　⑶中级阶段

　　本阶段应从机械训练转向实践,从课本进入社会。解决听外台的能力作国这一阶段的一项主要任务。可进行以下训练。

　　1）听美国之音(VOA)慢速广播(VOA SPECIAL ENGLISH PROGRAM)或英国广播公司(BBC)英语广播(BBC ENGLISH BY RADIO)：这两个节目速度较慢,在词汇选择上也有适当控制,因此作为训练听外台的起步练习是很合适的。开始时可根据自己熟悉的工英国或美国音来选听BBC或VOA,然后逐步向另一台过渡。在听这两种特殊节目毫无困难之后,就可转向正常速度的英美电台广播。电台广播和报刊杂志的内容是紧密联系在一起的。因此,在进行这一训练的同时,应阅读一些英文报刊杂志。

　　2）视听结合,训练听懂电影,戏剧的能力：看外语电影可以纳入这一阶段的训练。听电影,戏剧中的台词,实际是相当难的,作为起步,可以先看一些翻译成英语的国产电影,如《闪闪的红星》甚至幻灯片《高玉宝》等。然后选看熟悉的影片，如《列宁在一九一八》，《战争下和平》等。最后可尝试听一些语言规范，内容健康的原版英美电影，如《冰海沉船》《百万英磅》《简·爱》《孤星血泪》《雾都孤儿》《红菱艳》以及中央电视台的《星期日英语》(ENGLISH ON SUNDAY)节目中经常播放的一些英美电影对话,不能要求每句话,每个字都听懂,应以是否正确把握住了故事情节和重要的细节为标准。

　　3）继续前两阶段的某些听力训练：听力训练是长期的,经常的任务因此,各人可以根据自己的薄弱环节,在向新内容发展的同时,坚持进行某些前两阶段采用过的听力练习形式,但难度和词汇量工有所加强,要多听英。美文化和政治经济方面的报告,以及访华学者就当今大家感兴趣和国际问题,青年问题等所作的一小时左右的报告。

　　[4]高级阶段

　　本阶段完成后,英语学习者应达到或者接近英美人的听力水平,并能应付各种情况。

　　1）在听外台方面,要训练听正常速度节目。要从重点听新闻,转向多听专栏评论和报道。

　　2）在可能条件下,争取听使用英语的学术讨论会,语言学,文学,历史,政治经济等问题的讲座和科普报告,并积极参加报告会后的讨论活动。

布莱尔关于英国女王伊丽莎白二世80寿辰的祝辞

2008-08-01T22:07:00.000-07:00

Tribute to Eightieth Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen
布莱尔关于英国女王伊丽莎白二世80寿辰的祝辞

The Prime Minister (Mr. Tony Blair): I beg to move,

That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty to offer the cordial congratulations of this House on the occasion of Her Majesty's eightieth birthday, and to express its appreciation of Her Majesty's unfailing devotion to the duties of State, the Nation and the Commonwealth, and its warmest good wishes for her long continuing health and happiness.

That the said Address be presented to Her Majesty by such Members of the House as are of Her Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council or of Her Majesty's Household.

This week we celebrate the 80th birthday of one of the most respected people of our times, whose sense of duty and service has had a profound impact on our country, the Commonwealth and the world.

Years before the premature death of her father and her unexpected succession to the throne, the then Princess Elizabeth publicly dedicated her life to the service of her nation, but declared that she would need the support of the country to ensure that she could fulfil that promise. She has, as we know, carried out that pledge through all the changes, both in her life and in this country, with extraordinary grace and dedication, and her people, here and across the Commonwealth, who share in the celebration of her 80th birthday this year, have responded, as she hoped that they would, with their affection and support.

In a world that has been transformed in her lifetime, she has been a truly remarkable source of constancy and strength. Our country has faced tremendous trials, witnessed the horrors of the second world war and celebrated some extraordinary triumphs in her 80 years. Throughout, as part of the royal family and as the Queen, she has been a reassuring and unifying presence for her people.

She has also responded to a world that has become smaller and more interdependent than ever by travelling extensively. In all, the Queen has undertaken over 256 official overseas visits to 129 different countries. Her Majesty shows no sign of slowing down. She has just undertaken her 14th tour of Australia, which included the official opening of the Commonwealth games in Melbourne. She attends hundreds of public engagements every year and is an active patron of over 620 charities and organisations. There is simply no aspect of our national life that she does not have an interest in and a deep understanding of.

Her Prime Ministers have better reason than most to know and appreciate her knowledge and experience. I am the tenth Prime Minister to serve her. Like each of my predecessors, I am profoundly grateful for her wise counsel. She has superb judgment, an intuitive empathy with people and, above all, an unshakeable and profound sense of duty. It is that sense of duty that motivates her and defines her reign and, since it communicates itself unobtrusively but none the less obviously to her subjects, brings her the love of the people of this country.

It is difficult in this day and age for the monarchy to balance the natural demands for accessibility and openness with the dignity and majesty of the monarch, but it is a balance that she has struck with immense skill.

19 Apr 2006 : Column 128

So I know that I speak for the whole House and, indeed, a grateful nation when I convey to Her Majesty the Queen our best wishes on her 80th birthday and say, "Long may she reign over us."

布什在克林顿总统图书馆开放仪式上发表演讲

2008-08-01T21:50:00.001-07:00

布什在克林顿总统图书馆开放仪式上发表演讲

2004年11月18日，美国前总统克林顿与现总统布什、前总统卡特、前总统乔治·布什四人在美国阿肯色州小石城共同出席克林顿总统图书馆开放仪式,多位政界要人及演艺明星前往捧场。
克林顿的各种文件档案是美国历届总统中最多的，总重量达835吨，包括7700万份文件，200万张照片和7.5万份礼物。

PRESIDENT Bush:

President Clinton, Senator Clinton, President Carter and Mrs. Carter, President Bush and Mother Governor and Mrs. Huckabee, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: Laura and I are really pleased to be a part of this happy and historic occasion. On this day of dedication, we honor the man from Hope, Arkansas, who became the 42nd President of the United States. Mr. President, congratulations.

This presidential library chronicles a vivid era in American history, for the benefit of future generations. It will contribute to the vitality of this fine city and to the great state of Arkansas. The collections here record the dedication and hard work of thousands, who brought talent and idealism to public service. And at the center of that era, at the head of that administration, was an able and energetic American. President Bill Clinton led our country with optimism and a great affection for the American people, and that affection has been returned. He gave all to his job, and the nation gave him two terms.

In the early 1990s, the American people saw a young, well-spoken, relatively unknown governor rise to national prominence. Yet for decades here in Arkansas, the signs of destiny were clear. When young William entered a new school in the 4th grade, a classmate recalls, "He didn't mean to, but he just took the place over." When Governor Clinton declared his candidacy for President in this city, his close friends were not surprised in the least. They'd always known that Bill Clinton's moment in history would come.

Arkansas is a state that knows political skill when you see it. A fellow in Saline County was asked by his son why he liked Governor Clinton so much. He said, son, he'll look you in the eye, he'll shake your hand, he'll hold your baby, he'll pat your dog -- all at the same time.

Over the years, Bill Clinton showed himself to be much more than a good politician. His home state elected him governor in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s, because he was an innovator, a serious student of policy, and a man of great compassion. In the White House, the whole nation witnessed his brilliance and mastery of detail, his persuasive power, and his persistence. The President is not the kind to give up a fight. His staffers were known to say, "If Clinton were the Titanic, the iceberg would sink."

During his presidency, Bill Clinton seized important opportunities on issues from welfare to free trade. He was a tireless champion of peace in the Middle East. He used American power in the Balkans to confront aggression and halt ethnic cleansing. And in all his actions and decisions, the American people sensed a deep empathy for the poor and the powerless. Shortly before leaving office, President Clinton said, "Christ admonished us that our lives will be judged by how we do unto the least of our neighbors." Throughout his career, Bill Clinton has done his best to live up to that standard. And Americans respect him for it.

At every stage of his remarkable life, President Clinton has made and kept countless friends, who share in the joy of this day. And three people in particular have the largest part in this remarkable story. One day more than 30 years ago, inside the Yale Law Library, a fellow student walked over to Bill Clinton and said, "If you're going to keep staring at me, and I'm going to keep staring back, we ought to at least know each other's name. Mine's Hillary Rodham. What is yours?"That was a good day for both of them, and the beginning of a partnership unique in American history. So today, we honor the former First Lady of Arkansas, the former First Lady of America, the United States Senator from New York, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Perhaps the Clintons' greatest achievement is their daughter, who moved into the White House as a young girl, and left as an accomplished young lady. It's not easy to be a teenager in the White House, but it's a lot easier when you have a loving mother and a loving father that Chelsea Clinton had.

This magnificent presidential library, and the American life it celebrates, would not have been possible without the love and sacrifice of a special lady. Among his heroes, President Clinton always includes his mother, Virginia Kelley, "a working woman and a widow." Virginia was there when her son took the oath of office, and we know that she would be incredibly proud of this day.

The story that began in a little house on Hervey Street in Hope, Arkansas is the kind of story that inspires people from every background, all over America. In this great nation, it is always possible for a child to go as far as their talent and vision can take them. Visitors to this place will be reminded of the great promise of our country, and the dreams that came true in the life of our 42nd President. The William J. Clinton Presidential Library is a gift to the future by a man who always believed in the future. And today, we thank him for loving and serving America.

God bless.

一个人练口语的经典方法

2008-08-01T21:50:00.000-07:00

一个人练口语的经典方法

这种方法非常有效且很容易坚持：口译汉英对照（或英汉对照）的小说或其它读物。首先我们先读汉语部分，然后逐句直接口译成英文，完成一小段后，去看书上的对应英文部分并与我们的口译进行比较，我们马上可以发现我们口译的错误，缺点和进步。请注意：开始要选择较简单的读物，且应大量做，只做一两篇效果是不明显的。开始可能较慢，费时较多，但请坚持，整体上这是一个加速的过程。高级阶段请计时练习，以加快反应速度和口语流利度。

　　作为成人学英语，记忆力差是个拦路虎，作复述练习或背诵课文往往力不从心，或者由于词汇量太小觉得直接作口译太难，那么这样做可以非常有效地解决这个问题：先学习英文课文，通篇理解透彻后，再来看汉语译文，把汉语译文口译回英文。这样等于既作复述练习又作口译（语）练习，可谓一石双鸟！

　　这样作的好处：

　　1、自己就可以练习口语，想练多久，就练多久。

　　2、始终有一位高级教师指出您的不足和错误——英文原文。

　　3、题材范围极广，可以突破我们自己的思维禁锢，比如我们总是喜欢谈论我们自己熟悉的话题，所以我们总是在练习相同的语言，进步当然就缓慢了。

　　4、选择小说，幽默故事或好的短文阅读，使我们有足够的兴趣坚持下去。

　　5、有一些我们在直接学习英语课文时被我们熟视无睹的地道的英语用法会被此法发掘出来。

　　6、对所学知识和所犯错误印象深刻。这等于我们一直在作汉译英练习，很多英文译文是我们费尽心思憋出来的，所以印象相当深刻。比直接学习英文课文印象要深的多。

　　7、经过大量的练习，你会有这样的感觉：没有什么东西你不能翻译，你的翻译水平大大加强了，你的口语表达力大大提高了！

英文道歉信难词深度剖析

前言：真的没想到冠希会用全英文做道歉陈述,虽然知道他是CBC(Canadian Born Chinese),但英文水平还是让人佩服。500多字的道歉信, 用词准确地道，词汇难度较高，包含了50多个考研(雅思)核心词汇，经过改编完全可以成为一篇高质量的考研完形填空，或雅思阅读理解。Edison这小子虽然"不怎样"，但英文用词的难度达到了考研英语（国内最严格的英语考试）的要求，如果参加雅思考试估计8分以上不成问题。

推荐理由: 超敬业的同声翻译, 不仅翻译准确及时, 而且激情投入感情充沛,让人感觉就像是自己刚刚拍了照被人发现.

Today I have come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself. I have never escaped from my responsibility. During the past few weeks, I have been with my mother and my family and my loved ones to show support and care and at the same time to have them support and care for me.

核心词汇解析

account for 1) 说明，解释；2) 占…比例

escape from从…逃脱, 推卸责任

escape＝es(ex=out) + cape(catch)

I admit that most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me. But these photos are very private and have not been shown to people and are never intended to be shown to anyone. These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent.

核心词汇解析

distribute = dis(away)+ tribute(give) = give away vt.分发，传播

contribute = con(fully) + tribute vt.贡献; 投稿 [助记]全部都给了

attribute to v.归因于

tribute n.贡品，颂词 [助记] 给国王的礼物

单词组记:consent, dissent, resent, sentimental

consent = con(共同)+ sent(=sense情感) n.赞同，同意＝agreement

dissent = dis(not) + sent n.不同意 [助记]不同的情感 = disagreement

resent = re(against) + sent n.憎恨　[助记]　相对抗的情感= hatred

sentimental[谐音]三屉馒头,失恋了只吃三屉馒头,所以是---a.多愁善感的

There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos have them uploaded on the Internet with malicious and deliberate intent. This matter has deteriorated to the extent that society as a whole has been affected by this. In this regard, I am deeply saddened. I would like now to apologize to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this. I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt that they have been feeling. I am sorry. I would like to also apologize to my mother and my father for the pain and suffering I have caused them during the past few weeks. Most importantly, I would like to say sorry to all the people of Hong Kong. I give my apology sincerely to you all, unreservedly and with my heart.

核心词汇解析

单词组记: libra天平, deliberate, liberate, liberty, libertine, libido

一直到现在，英国的法院门口还站立着古希腊象征法律精神的正义女神(DICE)的雕像，她左手拿着神圣的天平Libra，象征着权衡和平等；右手拿着宝剑，象征着裁决和力量；眼睛被布蒙着，象征绝对的公正无私。

deliberate = de(强调) + libera(=libra) + ate a. 深思熟虑的, 故意的 [助记] 把你的想法放在天平上称量，引申为深思熟虑的，深思熟虑的结果当然是故意的

liberate = liber (自由=libera)+ ate vt.解放(让人民获得自由)

自由和天平有什么关系呢？

天平的主要作用就是要让两边重量相等，平等。解放全人类不就是让人民平等吗？人民解放军PLA：People’s Liberation Army liberation的职责就是解放全中国让中国人民平等自由

liberty n.自由

libertine这个单词叫"浪荡子"，原来就是“特别自由的人”的意思，” 挺（tin）自由（liber）的”

libido弗洛伊德的著作里面，他造出一个表示“性动力”的单词libido（中文翻译成“利比多”），表达的就是这种本源的不受控制的力量。

单词组记:deteriorate,interior, exterior, territory

I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society. And in this regard, I have failed. I failed as a role model. However, I wish this matter will teach everyone a lesson. To all the young people in our community, let this be a lesson for you all. This is not an example to be set for you.

核心词汇解析

look up to 仰望，尊重= respect

look down upon/on 鄙视，瞧不起=despise

role model 榜样

During my time away, I have made an important decision. I will whole-heartedly fulfill all commitments that I have to date. But after that, I decided to step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry. I have decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul. I will dedicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months. I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment industry indefinitely. There is no time frame.

核心词汇解析

whole-heatedly 全心全意地; single-mindedly一心一意地

fulfill one's commitment vt.履行…的诺言

entertainment industry 娱乐业

health =heal(恢复健康) +th(名词)

heal (v.治愈，恢复) 是health的反向构词

dedicate to 把...奉献给,投身于...

charity = char(=care关心)+ ity(名词) n.慈善，慈善事业 [助记]关心穷人就是做慈善

I have been assisting the police since the first day the photos were published and I will continue to assist them. After this press con., I have obligation to help them with their investigation and hope that this case can end soon as everyone I think has the same wish.

核心词汇解析

assist = as(to) + sist(stand) vt.(站在一旁来) 协助

press con. = press conference 新闻发布会

press free. = press freedom 言论自由

press 是“压”的意思，怎么会变成“新闻”，“言论”呢？

因为最初的报纸都是油墨印刷,需要把纸紧紧的压在刻版上才能印刷出字来.所以press有了一个引申意:n.出版业,印刷业. 出版印刷业不就是发布新闻和言论的阵地吗?

obligation n.义务

investigation n.调查

I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you. I believe everyone’s priority now (and) my priority now is to stop the suffering and pain, for not letting this…we do not want to let this situation become more out of control. We need to protect all the innocents and all the young from matters like this. In this regard, I have instructed my lawyers to do everything possible within the law to protect all the innocents, victims of this case. I believe that a press statement is being issued as we speak on what my lawyers have advised me to do.

核心词汇解析

《哈利波特》的作者在08哈佛大学毕业典礼上的精彩演讲:失败的益处和想象的重要性

J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter book series, delivers her Commencement Address, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination,” at the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association.

Text as prepared follows.
Copyright of JK Rowling, June 2008
--------------------------------------------------

President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates.

The first thing I would like to say is ‘thank you.’ Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but the weeks of fear and nausea I’ve experienced at the thought of giving this commencement address have made me lose weight. A win-win situation! Now all I have to do is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and fool myself into believing I am at the world’s best-educated Harry Potter convention.

Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation. The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock. Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I can’t remember a single word she said. This liberating discovery enables me to proceed without any fear that I might inadvertently influence you to abandon promising careers in business, law or politics for the giddy delights of becoming a gay wizard.

You see? If all you remember in years to come is the ‘gay wizard’ joke, I’ve still come out ahead of Baroness Mary Warnock. Achievable goals: the first step towards personal improvement.

Actually, I have wracked my mind and heart for what I ought to say to you today. I have asked myself what I wish I had known at my own graduation, and what important lessons I have learned in the 21 years that has expired between that day and this.

I have come up with two answers. On this wonderful day when we are gathered together to celebrate your academic success, I have decided to talk to you about the benefits of failure. And as you stand on the threshold of what is sometimes called ‘real life’, I want to extol the crucial importance of imagination.

These might seem quixotic or paradoxical choices, but please bear with me.

Looking back at the 21-year-old that I was at graduation, is a slightly uncomfortable experience for the 42-year-old that she has become. Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between the ambition I had for myself, and what those closest to me expected of me.

I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that could never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension.

They had hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English Literature. A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.

I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics; they might well have found out for the first time on graduation day. Of all subjects on this planet, I think they would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.

I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you. What is more, I cannot criticise my parents for hoping that I would never experience poverty. They had been poor themselves, and I have since been poor, and I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools.

What I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure.

At your age, in spite of a distinct lack of motivation at university, where I had spent far too long in the coffee bar writing stories, and far too little time at lectures, I had a knack for passing examinations, and that, for years, had been the measure of success in my life and that of my peers.

I am not dull enough to suppose that because you are young, gifted and well-educated, you have never known hardship or heartbreak. Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the Fates, and I do not for a moment suppose that everyone here has enjoyed an existence of unruffled privilege and contentment.

However, the fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you are not very well-acquainted with failure. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success. Indeed, your conception of failure might not be too far from the average person’s idea of success, so high have you already flown academically.

Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it. So I think it fair to say that by any conventional measure, a mere seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.

Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.

So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.

Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above rubies.

The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.

Given a time machine or a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.

You might think that I chose my second theme, the importance of imagination, because of the part it played in rebuilding my life, but that is not wholly so. Though I will defend the value of bedtime stories to my last gasp, I have learned to value imagination in a much broader sense. Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.

One of the greatest formative experiences of my life preceded Harry Potter, though it informed much of what I subsequently wrote in those books. This revelation came in the form of one of my earliest day jobs. Though I was sloping off to write stories during my lunch hours, I paid the rent in my early 20s by working in the research department at Amnesty International’s headquarters in London.

There in my little office I read hastily scribbled letters smuggled out of totalitarian regimes by men and women who were risking imprisonment to inform the outside world of what was happening to them. I saw photographs of those who had disappeared without trace, sent to Amnesty by their desperate families and friends. I read the testimony of torture victims and saw pictures of their injuries. I opened handwritten, eye-witness accounts of summary trials and executions, of kidnappings and rapes.

Many of my co-workers were ex-political prisoners, people who had been displaced from their homes, or fled into exile, because they had the temerity to think independently of their government. Visitors to our office included those who had come to give information, or to try and find out what had happened to those they had been forced to leave behind.

I shall never forget the African torture victim, a young man no older than I was at the time, who had become mentally ill after all he had endured in his homeland. He trembled uncontrollably as he spoke into a video camera about the brutality inflicted upon him. He was a foot taller than I was, and seemed as fragile as a child. I was given the job of escorting him to the Underground Station afterwards, and this man whose life had been shattered by cruelty took my hand with exquisite courtesy, and wished me future happiness.

And as long as I live I shall remember walking along an empty corridor and suddenly hearing, from behind a closed door, a scream of pain and horror such as I have never heard since. The door opened, and the researcher poked out her head and told me to run and make a hot drink for the young man sitting with her. She had just given him the news that in retaliation for his own outspokenness against his country’s regime, his mother had been seized and executed.

Every day of my working week in my early 20s I was reminded how incredibly fortunate I was, to live in a country with a democratically elected government, where legal representation and a public trial were the rights of everyone.

Every day, I saw more evidence about the evils humankind will inflict on their fellow humans, to gain or maintain power. I began to have nightmares, literal nightmares, about some of the things I saw, heard and read.

And yet I also learned more about human goodness at Amnesty International than I had ever known before.

Amnesty mobilises thousands of people who have never been tortured or imprisoned for their beliefs to act on behalf of those who have. The power of human empathy, leading to collective action, saves lives, and frees prisoners. Ordinary people, whose personal well-being and security are assured, join together in huge numbers to save people they do not know, and will never meet. My small participation in that process was one of the most humbling and inspiring experiences of my life.

Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced. They can think themselves into other people’s minds, imagine themselves into other people’s places.

Of course, this is a power, like my brand of fictional magic, that is morally neutral. One might use such an ability to manipulate, or control, just as much as to understand or sympathise.

And many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all. They choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are. They can refuse to hear screams or to peer inside cages; they can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally; they can refuse to know.

I might be tempted to envy people who can live that way, except that I do not think they have any fewer nightmares than I do. Choosing to live in narrow spaces can lead to a form of mental agoraphobia, and that brings its own terrors. I think the wilfully unimaginative see more monsters. They are often more afraid.

What is more, those who choose not to empathise may enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.

One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the Greek author Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

That is an astonishing statement and yet proven a thousand times every day of our lives. It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other people’s lives simply by existing.

But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 2008, likely to touch other people’s lives? Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities. Even your nationality sets you apart. The great majority of you belong to the world’s only remaining superpower. The way you vote, the way you live, the way you protest, the pressure you bring to bear on your government, has an impact way beyond your borders. That is your privilege, and your burden.

If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.

I am nearly finished. I have one last hope for you, which is something that I already had at 21. The friends with whom I sat on graduation day have been my friends for life. They are my children’s godparents, the people to whom I’ve been able to turn in times of trouble, friends who have been kind enough not to sue me when I’ve used their names for Death Eaters. At our graduation we were bound by enormous affection, by our shared experience of a time that could never come again, and, of course, by the knowledge that we held certain photographic evidence that would be exceptionally valuable if any of us ran for Prime Minister.

So today, I can wish you nothing better than similar friendships. And tomorrow, I hope that even if you remember not a single word of mine, you remember those of Seneca, another of those old Romans I met when I fled down the Classics corridor, in retreat from career ladders, in search of ancient wisdom:
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
I wish you all very good lives.

Thank you very much.

中国人最易犯错的30句英语

2008-08-01T20:55:00.000-07:00

中国人最易犯错的30句英语

　　1. I very like it
　　I like it very much.
　　
　　2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
　　The price is very suitable for me.
　　The price is right.
　　
　　Note：suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如：下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
　　
　　3. 你是做什么工作的呢？What’s your job?
　　Are you working at the moment?
　　Note：what’s your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗？是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子，所以您要问：目前您是在上班吗？Are you working
at the moment?接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢？Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢？What line of work are you in?顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书
　　
　　4. 用英语怎么说？How to say?
　　How do you say this in English?
　　Note：How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写？How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读？How do you pronounce this word?
　　
　　5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
　　Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
　　用I have something to do来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I’m tied up.还有其他的说法：I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, Ihave to stay at home.
　　
　　6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name.
　　　I don’t have an English name.
　　Note：许多人讲英语犯这样的错误，从语法角度来分析，可能是语法功底欠缺，因为have在这里是实义动词，而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以，这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。
　　明白道理是一回事，习惯是另一回事，请您再说几话：我没有钱；I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹；I don’t have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.
　　
　　7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.
　　I don’t think I can.
　　Note：这一组然是个习惯问题，在语法上称为否定前置，这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候，英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候，只要您留心，也会习惯英语的说法的，
　　
　　8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.
　　I am not a very good dancer either.
　　Note：当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候，英语里面通常用not good at something，英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到：我不是一个好的舞者。
　　
　　9. 现在几点钟了？What time is it now?
　　What time is it, please?
　　Note：What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了？还有一种说法是：How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
　　
　　10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
　　I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
　　Note：有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor.实话说，我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说：My Chinese is
poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏，他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better.
　　当您告诉外国人，您的英语很poor，so what(那又怎么样呢)，是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢，还是说我的英语不好，咱们不谈了吧。
　　另外一个更大的弊端是，一边不停的学英语，一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气，又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。
　　我坚信，先不谈别的，如果您现在就苦下功夫，把这本薄薄的《英语５４３２１》吃通吃透，您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说：我的英语很poor.您可以实事求事地说，我的英语还不算十分流利，但至少我在进步。
　　
　　11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？Would you like to join our party on Friday?
　　Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
　　Note：join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如：join a health club; join the Communist
Party.事实上，常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。
　　
　　12. 我没有经验。I have no experience.
　　I am I don’t know much about that.
　　Note：I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.
　　
　　13. 我没有男朋友。I have no boyfriend.
　　I don’t have a boyfriend.
　　
　　14. 他的身体很健康。His body is healthy.
　　He is in good health.　You can also say: He’s healthy.
　　
　　15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。The price is too expensive/cheap.
　　The price is too high/ rather low.

16. 我们下了车。We got off the car.
　　We got out of the car.
　　
　　17. 车速快了。The speed of the car is fast.
　　The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”
　　
　　18. 这个春节你回家吗？
　　Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
　　是的，我回去。Of course! （这一句是错的）
　　当然。Sure. / Certainly.（这种说法是正确的）
　　以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多，只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦！难道我是一个傻瓜吗？”因此，of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时，用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时，of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
　　
　　19. 我觉得右手很疼。I feel very painful in my right hand.
　　My right hand is very painful. Or “ My right hand hurts(aches).”
　　
　　20. 他看到她很惊讶。He looked at her and felt surprised.
　　He looked at her in surprise.
　　
　　21. 我读过你的小说但是没料到你这么年轻。I have read your novels but I didn't think you could beso young.
　　After having read your novel, I expected that you would be older.
　　
　　22. 她脸红了，让我看穿了她的心思。
　　Her red face made me see through her mind.
　　Correct: Her red face told me what she was thinking.
　　
　　23. 看到这幅画让我想到了我的童年时代。
　　The sight of these pictures made me remember my own childhood.
　　Correct: Seeing these pictures reminded me of my own childhood.
　　
　　24. 别理她。Don't pay attention to her.
　　Leave her alone.
　　
　　25. 我在大学里学到了许多知识。
　　I get a lot of knowledge in the university.
　　I learned a lot in university.
　　
　　26. 黄山正在读书。
　　Samuel is reading a book.
　　Samuel is reading.
　　
　　27. exciting / excited。
　　
　　
　　
　　28. 我遇到了很多困难。
　　I am having many difficulties.
　　I am having a few problems / lots of problems.
　　　
　　
　　29. 请快点走，否则我们会迟到的。
　　Please hurry to walk or we'll be late.
　　Please hurry up or we'll be late.
　　
　　
　　30. 她由嫉妒转向失望。
　　She was so jealous that she became desperate.
　　Jealousy drove her to despair.

哈佛女校长给08年毕业生的演讲

（这位是哈佛2007年2月11日宣布并于7月份正式上任的校长Drew G. Faust给哈佛大学2008年的本科毕业生做的演讲的讲稿，Drew G. Faust是哈佛历史上第一位女性校长，第一位非哈佛毕业生校长，杰出的历史学家，2001年从宾西法尼业大学到哈佛的Radcliffe学院任教，之前的哈佛上一任校长曾因为公开发表“歧视女性”的言论被迫辞职）

准备稿

In the curious custom of this venerable institution, I find myself standing before you expected to impart words of lasting wisdom. Here I am in a pulpit, dressed like a Puritan minister — an apparition that would have horrified many of my distinguished forebears and perhaps rededicated some of them to the extirpation of witches. This moment would have propelled Increase and Cotton into a true “Mather lather.” But here I am and there you are and it is the momentof and for Veritas.

在这所久负盛名的大学的别具一格的仪式上，我站在了你们的面前，被期待着给予一些蕴含着恒久智慧的言论。站在这个讲坛上，我穿得像个清教徒教长——一个可能会吓到我的杰出前辈们的怪物，或许使他们中的一些人重新致力于铲除巫婆的事业上。这个时刻也许曾激励了很多清教徒成为教长。但现在，我在上面，你们在下面，此时此刻，属于真理，为了真理。

You have been undergraduates for four years. I have been president for not quite one. You have known three presidents; I one senior class. Where then lies the voice of experience? Maybe you should be offering the wisdom. Perhaps our roles could be reversed and I could, in Harvard Law School style, do cold callsfor the next hour or so.

你们已经在哈佛做了四年的大学生，而我当哈佛校长还不到一年。你们认识了三个校长，而我只认识了你们这一届大四的。算起来我哪有资格说什么经验之谈？或许应该由你们上来展示一下智慧。要不我们换换位置？然后我就可以像哈佛法学院的学生那样，在接下来的一个小时内不时地冷不防地提出问题。

We all do seem to have made it to this point — more or less in one piece. Though I recently learned that we have not provided you with dinner since May 22.I know we need to wean you from Harvard in a figurative sense. I never knew we took it quite so literally.

学校和学生们似乎都在努力让时间来到这一时刻，而且还差不多是步调一致的。我这两天才得知哈佛从5月22日开始就不向你们提供伙食了。虽然有比喻说“我们早晚得给你们断奶”，但没想到我们的后勤还真的早早就把“奶”给断了。

But let’s return to that notion of cold calls for a moment. Let’s imagine this were a baccalaureate service in the form of Q & A, and you were asking the questions. “What is the meaning of life, President Faust? What were these four years at Harvard for? President Faust, you must have learned something sinceyou graduated from college exactly 40 years ago?” (Forty years. I’ll say itout loud since every detail of my life — and certainly the year of my Bryn Mawr degree — now seems to be publicly available. But please remember I was young for my class.)

现在还是让我们回到我刚才提到的提问题的事上吧。让我们设想下这是个哈佛大学给本科生的毕业服务，是以问答的形式。你们将问些问题，比如：“福校长啊，人生的价值是什么呢？我们上这大学四年是为了什么呢？福校长，你大学毕业到现在的40年里一定学到些什么东西可以教给我们吧？”（40年啊，我就直说了，因为我人生中的每段细节——当然包括我在布林茅尔女子学院的一年——现在似乎都成了公共资源。但请记住在哈佛我可是“新生”）

In a way, you have been engaging me in this Q & A for the past year. On just these questions, although you have phrased them a bit more narrowly. And I havebeen trying to figure out how I might answer and, perhaps more intriguingly, why you were asking.

在某种程度上，在过去的一年里你们一直都在让我从事这种问答。从仅仅这些问题上，即使你们措辞问题都倾向于狭义，而我除了思考怎么做出回答外，更激发我去思考的，是你们为什么问这些问题。

希拉里退职演讲文稿

编译许金杰

So I want to say to my supporters: When you hear people saying or think to yourself, "If only, or, "What if," I say, please, don't go there.

我要告诉我的支持者：如果你听到别人说，或者你自己曾经这样想，“如果某件事没有发生”，或者“要是出现了另一种情况”……那么我会说，请不要这样设想。

Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for what still can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next president.

为往事叹息，会阻碍我们前进。生命短暂，时间宝贵，沉湎于空想的代价实在太大。面对现实，我们必须团结起来。这就是我全力支持奥巴马参议员当选下一任总统的原因。她对自己参选的意义，总结得非常漂亮。

When we first started, people everywhere asked the same questions. Could a woman really serve as commander-in-chief? Well, I think we answered that one.

当选举刚开始的时候，到处都有人在问：一个女人真的能够领导国家吗？我想，我们已经对这个问题做出了回答。

As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th womanto leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.

当我们今天在这里集会的时候，第50位妇女正在我们的头顶，绕地球飞行。如果我们能够将50个妇女送入太空，那么总有一天，我们也会将一个妇女送入白宫。

Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it...

虽然这一次，我们无法打破那最高、最坚硬的玻璃天花板，但是由于你们，它出现了1800万道裂缝……

... and the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time.

光明从未像现在这样明亮，让我们充满希望，确信下一次这条道路将变得更容易一些。希拉里对奥巴马赞美之词，简直无以复加。谁能想到几个星期前，两人还在互相攻击。希拉里对着电视公开说“Shame on you, Barack Obama”。不能不让人感叹政治家的灵活。

The way to continue our fight now, to accomplish the goals for which we stand is to take our energy, our passion, our strength, and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama, the next president of the United States.

我们的战斗还将继续，我们的目标还没有完成，让我们继续用我们的能力、我们的热情、我们的力量、我们能做的一切，帮助巴拉克·奥巴马，让他成为美国的下一任总统。

Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him and throw my full supportbehind him.

今天，当我停止自己的竞选活动，我向他祝贺胜利，为他的优异表现喝彩。我完全支持他，我将尽全力支持他。

(APPLAUSE)（掌声）

And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.

我要求你们所有人加入我，像支持我那样地，全力支持巴拉克·奥巴马。

学习脑图概览-大脑自然记忆的最佳方式
编译：许金杰

The thinking process is a very chaotic and confusing one. Thoughts don’t follow a straight, logical path. They are the result of some million chemical processes among the brain cells each second. Thoughts follow many streams at the same time, making leaps, following a sideline and then returning to the mainstream again.
思考的过程是非常混乱，令人费解的。思维不是沿着一条直线，符合逻辑的进行的。思维是每分钟大脑里几千个化学变化过程的结果。思维在同一时间沿着多条线索，跳跃行进，多路开花，而后又转向主要的线索

If you take notes in a traditional, linear way you have to force your thinking into a logical format that is unnatural and will hamper the production of ideas. On the other hand, if you take notes in the form of a learning map you will follow the natural thinking process and make leaps when your thoughts leap. It is also very easy to add new information on lines anywhere in the map.
如果你以传统的，流水线的方式作笔记，你就必须强迫自己的思考进入一个逻辑化的形式，这种方式不自然，而且会妨碍各种想法的产生。另一方面，如果你以学习脑图的方式来记笔记，你就能跟随自然的思考模式并在你的思维需要跳跃时发生跳跃。这样非常易于添加新的信息到思维脑图的分枝上。

Here is an example: Start by defining your subject. Then write the word or draw a symbol for it in the middle of the paper. Let’s use the word ‘apple’ as a starting-point.
举一个例子：先为你的目标物体下定义，然后为目标物体在纸张的中间写字或画一个符号。我们以“苹果”这个单词作为起点。

Apple
Around this starting-point you then draw lines and write one word on each. Let the information flow for five to six minutes and follow the directions of your thoughts whichever way they take. Write down as many words as possible.
围绕苹果开始思考，划出多个引申线条，并在每条线上标出词语。思考苹果有关的信息5-6分钟，并追随你的思维触角，不管它是哪一条。尽可能多的写下相关词语，如下图

Finally you will end up having a lot of words ranging around your starting-point. By not restricting or structuring the flow of thoughts you have been able to take down a lot of words that would otherwise have been censored before they reached the conscious level in your brain. Once there they can contribute to the process of finding new ideas, new ways of putting the words, combining them with other words in the map to create new images. You have now created a map of possibilities.
最后，以苹果为起点，分列出许多词语而结束。不要限制你的思考，或者结构化你的思考线索，以便于你能下写许多东西，否则的话，在这些东西到达意识层面之前，你已经能主观的感受到了。一旦到达意识层面，这些东西有助于搜寻新的观点，新的增加词汇的方法，再脑图中用其它的词语与之组合创造新的脑图。现在你已经创建了一个新的可能的脑图。
This is what the map may look like after four or five minutes of free association:
在自由关联4-5分钟后，脑图就会看起来像下面的样子：

Add new words to the existing branches by drawing out ‘twigs’ after the subheading. Write down as many words as you think you need to be able to recall the content. The point is, by choosing the right word and using a limited number of words you will be able to remember more. Each word should contain a lot of the associations and facts you need when you talk about apples. The words will open up like flower buds and give you all the information you need.
在子标题中通过描绘新枝，添加新的词语到已有的分支上，写下你认为你需要的各种词语以便于能够回忆内容。要点是，通过选择正确的词并使用有限的数词，你将能够记住更多。当你谈论苹果时，你选用的每一个词语应该包含了许多你所需要的关联项和事例。这些选用的词语要能像花蕾盛开般涌现并给所有你需要的所有信息。
Maybe a completed learning map on ‘apple’ will look like this:
或许一个完整的有关苹果记忆的脑图看起来将像这样: Let’s go further and use this map of the word ‘apple’. The next phase in the process is to use logical thinking in order to find a structure, to make a choice of words and find suitable connections.
让我们更进一步的来使用这个苹果脑图。接下来的部分就是要使用富有逻辑性的思考方式以便于寻找一个记忆的结构，方便你挑选标题词语，找到适当的连接点。

Pick one word, the word you feel is the most natural to start with, and highlight it.
Then pick out four, five, six words, you can use as subheadings in the structure. Those words are often of a general, comprehensive nature. If you cannot find such words in the map, make some new ones up! Write them on the lines as you can see below – one on each line. Try to limit the number of headings. Four to six should be sufficient.
挑选一个词语，这个词语是你觉得最容易自然的想起的，并把它标出来。
然后，挑选出四，五，六个词，他们要能够在结构中作为子标题使用。这些词语通常具有通用而广泛的属性。如果你在记忆脑图中不能够找出这样的词语，就自己创造一个新的群组。把他们分别写到杈枝线上，以便于你能顺着杈支向下进行。尝试着限制杈支标题的数目。四到六个应该就足够了。见图。

总结一下：
脑图记忆方法是一种扩展式群记忆方法。该方法也可称之为群记忆法，由一个记忆的点逐渐扩展；延伸触角，但很有规律。由一个点建立一个群，然后再建立一个更大的群；扩张的方向可以从以下方面来考虑：第一个方面是时间轴即从时间发展的过程来展开记忆；第二个方面是用途即从事物的各种用途来展开记忆，象船boat，可以做渔船，战船，游船，油船，鱼雷，航空母舰，鱼雷，游艇，无缝帆船；第三个方面是材质即不通物质构成同一个事物，象船boat，有木头的，铁的，水泥的，橡胶的，合金的；第四个方面是色彩，形状即同一事物不同的存在形态，比如人human，有婴儿，孩子，成人，老人等；

附本人以Boat为起点，自己做的记忆群脑图：

如果你有更好的记忆的延伸轴或主题，欢迎您回帖讨论，开拓思路，分享给更多学习英语的朋友们。

掌握850个单词实现日常自由沟通

掌握850个单词实现日常自由沟通

作者：许金杰

今天发布的将是你最值得研究，也是对各位自学英语最有价值的启蒙文章之一。

这是我年初在网上看到的最震撼的文章，它来自美国网络，它的名字叫《Basic English》-A General introduction with Rules and Grammar.作者是C.K.OGDEN。它以850个最基本的英文单词为蓝本，构造了利用这850个单词来进行日常的英语生活对话。它曾获得美国特别研究奖项，并且是美国总统特别支持的语言研究项目之一。目前仍在不断的研究和完善中，但对于有一定英语基础的自学者来说，这是一个比较好的学习英文的途径。

原文前言及内容摘录如下：
BASIC ENGLISHA General Introduction with Rules and GrammarByC. K. OGDENDirector of The Orthological Institute
PREFACE and CONTENTS
The following account of Basic English is designed to give a general idea of the system and its applications.
A graded introduction, written in Basic English, is provided in the ABC of Basic English; and in Basic Step by Step for class use. The material here presented to English-speaking readers is there treated in greater detail from the standpoint of the learner; and questions relating to word-order, derivatives, and idiom are fully covered. All particulars of the senses and uses of the senses and uses of the 850 Basic words will be found in The Basic Words, and the Basic equivalents of the 7,500 commonest words are given in The Basic Dictionary. Translations of these volumes are being prepared; and The General Basic English Dictionary, giving the senses of 25,000 words in Basic, will be ready early in 1940.
The case for Basic English as the Universal Language of Radio, the Talkies, Commerce, and Science is presented in Debabelization and Basic English versus the Artificial Languages; while for lighter reading, the Basic version of Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man may be specially mentioned. Finally, in addition to a complete series of graded text- books, a wide selection of examples (stories, news, letters, and dialogues) in Basic has been provided. A list of these and other publications will be found at the end of the volume.
The present outline is divided into two Parts: --I. A general exposition giving a brief summary of the system, and of the purposes for which it was designed.II. A Short Guide, in Basic English, from a somewhat different angle, which will also serve as an example of Basic itself. Correspondence is invited toThe Orthological Institute,10, King's Parade,Cambridge, England [disbanded 1960's]
CONTENTS
Part I.
Introductory
The System
Grammatical Principles
Teaching and Learning
Part II. A Short Guide to Basic English
What is Basic English?
Basic as an International Language
How the 850 Words do their Work
Basic as an Instrument of Thought
The Learning of Basic

Twelve Years Work, 1927-1939
The Future.

APPENDIX
A. The Value of Basic
B. English without Tears
C. Idiom No Obstacle
D. Simplicity and Precision: "It is not, then, upon foreign nations alone that the future of Basic English depends. For their own sake, as well as for that of foreign learners, English-speaking people would do well to keep their own English as near as possible to the simplicity and precision of Basic English."

基础英语是非常有价值的学习材料。其中的850个单词是必须熟练掌握的。如果掌握这些单词呢。各位学法不一。但可以介绍一种比较通行的方法，也是我英语学习过程中总结出来的好方法。那就是听-写-读-说。具体操作方法是:先听正确的读音，可以通过专业的免费英语字典-灵格斯来听。每个单词至少听50遍；然后是在听的同时进行默写。同样反复默写50次；接下来是读。这里专指跟读-跟着播放器大声读，同时用手指拼写，反复100次；最后是说，这里专指一个人用各种表情去演说这个单词，每一种演说的表情（你能想象到的表情）必须反复练习100次。
这个方法强调多次反复练习。即每一个学习节拍需要花专门时间单独练习。每一次练习必须完成一个学习周期（听-写-读-说的周期）。

在学习或练习时必须注意的事项：
第一、第一次听到的音必须是正确音；即不可为了节省时间，而不使用发音软件来辅助发音。
第二、跟读时，必须跟着播放器练习，不可为了节省时间，而自以为是的不跟着标准音练习；
第三、演说时，必须全身心投入，充分发挥想象力与肢体语言的结合，形成肌肉记忆-即通过活动身体的某个部位就能想起单词怎么表达，这是英语运用的最高境界。

与英语谈恋爱-学习英语必须经历的境界

与英语谈恋爱-学习英语必须经历的境界

作者：许金杰

自从我上了英语培训，我就开始谈恋爱了。

与英语谈恋爱的感觉真的很奇特。

每天总想着她。

她不谦虚，但也不骄傲。但偶尔耍耍小脾气，让我有些莫不着头脑。不知道从那里去接近她，了解她。每天最想做的事就是希望自己能掌握她，熟知她的外表，深知她的脾气，暗知她的喜好，迷知她的能力，还有想知道她对我如此吸引的强大力量。

与英语恋爱的感觉真好，真的。

和英语谈恋爱，我充满了自信。而且她还给了我很多次机会去展示自己，提高自己。

每一次遇见熟悉的朋友，她都悄悄的提示我，你要表现一下哦。于是，我信心倍增。耸耸肩，挺挺胸。我拿出自己最在行的，在朋友面前非常开心的show了一下。每次，她都给我奖励，告诉我如何掌握她的一个小秘密。自然，我也兴奋无比。

有一次在餐厅吃饭。遇到一个熟悉的朋友。自然她也在。坐定后，我与朋友神侃。可朋友觉得不够味。于是她就向我挤眉弄眼，说表现一下哦。别让你的朋友失望。听到她的暗示，我灵机一动。迅速将一段她告诉我的一断精彩演讲转化为生动起伏的故事，详细的给好朋友分享起来。朋友认真的听着，我高兴的讲着。因为是英语，又因为讲的非常标准，邻座的都不由自主的探过了头来，带着几分好奇，也带着几分惊讶的神情。又一次，我在她的鼓舞下，将好朋友逗得心花怒放。而我自己，也获得很多异想不到的收获。

也许，这就是恋爱的力量吧。与英语恋爱不但让我获得了快乐，自信，阳光，而且还让我获得了褒奖，赞赏以及心灵的不断成长。在她的影响下，我的思维开阔了，我阅读了很多以前都不敢看的英文网站（曾经担心自己看不懂的那些），我发现了很多国内没有的传播的新知。因为她一直在传播新知，我自然也被她影响了—要和她相处吗，自然要熟悉她的一切哦。第一个就是提高记忆力的免费软件，非常棒的脑图学习软件。第二个就是认识了她的好友，我的老师刘克亚。她和刘老师以前有过一段非常传奇的故事，刘老师因此还更换了在读的美国大学。这是一段改变刘老师人生的往事，一段非常让我读后振作精神的精神食量。为此，刘老师把它写到了《都是英语惹的火》这一本自传中。

和英语谈恋爱，永远让我充满活力和渴望。她不但有优美的身段，而且有美妙的声音。我听到她说的每一句话，都充满了韵律和美感。有时她的话语表现的很深沉，如深山的流水，缓缓而流；有时她的话语表现的很感伤，如荒岛中的乌鸦哀鸣，凄凉回旋；有时她的话语表现的很优美，如琵琶伴舞；有时她的话语表现的很动听，如清笛奏嫁娶；有时她的话语表现的很调皮，叮咚如泉水，响彻你的耳边；有时她的话语表现的很激昂，如战场上的号令，可以感动三军；有时她的话语很暧昧，让你浮想联翩；有时她的话语很强壮，如军队的号角，响彻天空，激荡心胸；有时她就是你等候千年的缘，万年的那个伴，让你为她痴情，为她守候终身！

和英语谈恋爱，一辈子的幸福。

她的财富语言，可以让我拥有成千上万；她的健身语言，可以让我健康每一天；她的交际语言，可以让我穿梭于商海，游刃于舞会，潇洒于舞台，庆功于人民大会堂；她的智慧语言，可以让我洞察古今，知己心灵，探己强弱，增己自信，立于天地！

希望在你学习英语的路上，也有这一段与这位财富女子，健身专家，交际高手，智慧女神谈恋爱的经历！

如果你有什么英语学习的特别经历，欢迎回帖，与所有后来人分享！

跟读-突破英语学习的最有效方法之一

英语学习辅导分享
许金杰

经常和朋友聊有关英语学习的话题，时间久了，发现一些共有的学习障碍存在于很多学习者之间。今天就此作一个简单总结，并提供一个参考解决方案来和大家分享。

第一个障碍是找不到正确的学习英语的方法，导致对英语学习摸不着头脑，努力了就是感觉不到进步，尤其是英语口语学习方面。由于口语具有交际这个特性，所以自学或学习口语就不能缺少说这个环节，而且需要大量的说，才能将语言演练为自己的东西。这里有一个方法，那就是反复跟读法。为什么我在这里推荐反复跟读法呢?反复跟读法具有以下优点：第一，可以听到正确的语音，语调，比自己说要容易且标准，而且可以模仿语调；第二个好处，可以不断强化和巩固已经学习或自学的东西，这就是“温故知新”的妙用；第三个好处，可以达到大量“说”的目的，兼有限定情景反复模仿训练的功效。

那反复跟读法有那些需要注意的事项呢？第一，一定要选比较标准的，简单易懂的日常口语对话材料；第二，力求简短，在跟读前先听写熟练，跟读时，单词能很好的拼写出来；第三，跟读的倍数不能少于50倍，否则效果不是很明显，我提倡以500遍为一个单位，争取达到孰能生巧。

第二个障碍是什么呢？第二个障碍就是说英语的自信度不够高。自信度不够高会产生以下状况；第一，不敢开口大声练习，更不敢在公众场合大声练习；第二，由于不敢大声练习，就不能充分锻炼你的口腔肌肉，当现场气氛紧张时说话声会自然变小，导致声音变形，久而久之就会发音错误，感受不到明显进步，自信心继续下降，甚至产生厌恶学习英语的结果。

那如何提高自信呢？我们都知道这样一个道理，那就是当人们运动时，会逐渐的兴奋，内心产生喜悦，很乐意和别人交流，自信心比较高，所以运动成为很多人成功结交朋友的方式。其实这当中隐含一个假设：你当时所从事的运动一定是你比较喜欢的运动，而且有自己的独特之处。由此，我们可以提炼一个很好的提高自信的方法：那就是将英语学习和自己喜欢的运动结合起来。比如清晨慢跑一段时间后，体内能量很高，自己比较高兴，自然也比较自信，这个时候你可以尝试者跟读或背诵英语，你会发现要比平时记忆效果好很多。当你逐渐养成习惯，每当你运动时你就会想学习英语，每当你学习英语前你就会产生要运动的意识，你就拥有了人生两大财富，一是健康，另一个就是通向财富之路的自信和英语口语！何乐而不为？

以上只是我的一些经验分享，以便更多的人获得自信和正确的方法，进而让他们喜欢英语学习，热爱英语学习，成就美好的人生！

如果你也是一位英语学习者，欢迎留言共同讨论，共同进步！
