北京时间11月4日凌晨，美国快餐业巨头麦当劳宣布，已解雇公司总裁兼首席执行官（CEO）伊斯特布鲁克（Steve Easterbrook），原因是他与公司的一名雇员存在双方自愿的亲密关系，违反了公司的规定。McDonald's has fired its chief executive Steve Easterbrook after he had a relationship with an employee.麦当劳解雇了首席执行官史蒂夫·伊斯特布鲁克，原因是他与一名员工有亲密关系。The US fast food giant said the relationship was consensual, but Mr Easterbrook had "violated company policy" and shown "poor judgement".这家美国快餐巨头表示，这种关系是双方自愿的，但伊斯特布鲁克“违反了公司规定”，并表现出“判断力差”。In an email to staff, the British businessman acknowledged the relationship and said it was a mistake.在一封致员工的电子邮件中，这位英国商人承认了这种关系，并表示这是一个错误。"Given the values of the company, I agree with the board that it is time for me to move on," he said.“考虑到公司的价值观，我同意董事会的决定，现在是我继续向前的时候了，”他说。不少网友调侃说，伊斯特布鲁克此举算是完美诠释了麦当劳的广告语“I'm lovin' it”。“I'm lovin' it”这句话是不是他想出来的？很多网友则奇怪，既然是两情相悦，为什么要解雇人家呢？所以，为什么两情相悦的恋爱关系不好？很奇怪啊。我跟我太太就是办公室恋情，还谈了很久。但也有网友支持公司的决定，认为上下级关系中从来没有“双方自愿”一说：伊斯特布鲁克太蠢了！初级小经理都知道跟下属谈恋爱是违反规定的。蠢死了，炒掉他是对的！千万别在职场找对象。你如何看待办公室恋情呢？写在留言处和大家分享。

我们讲有家庭地位，这个表达很简单，就叫做have a place in the family. 比如：I lost my place in the family when my younger sister was born. 我妹妹出生时，我就失去了在家里的地位。另外类似的表达，家中有多个孩子的时候，可以说the first born child, the middle born child, the last born child. 独子就是the only child.The first born child usually enjoy the exclusive attention of the parents.第一胎出生的孩子通常受到父母的特殊照顾。我们再说说“可爱”不同的表达，首先会想到形容词cute，adorable.这些很基础，今天和大家分享两个习语表达，更加有趣。表示“很可爱”的两个习语Be as cute as a buttonYour little baby girl is as cute as a button. Look at her eyes!你的小女儿真可爱。看她的眼睛！Be as cute as a bug's earShe is as cute as a bug's ear. I love her so much.她非常可爱。我太爱她了。cute还有“耍滑头的”意思Don't be cute with me, John.

7月3号，在百度AI开发者大会上，李彦宏在演讲时，一现场观众持一矿泉水瓶，淡定上台后泼了李彦宏。李彦宏一阵懵之后，脱口而出一句：What’s your problem? 之后现场一阵寂静，随后爆发出尴尬的掌声…...之后李彦宏继续淡定演讲。该男子被保安控制并移交公安机关。针对于百度，因为之前的类似于“魏则西”等种种事件，不少人多多少少都有一些情绪。不过这些不是我们讨论的重点，我们还是来看看这句英文在这种场景下到底什么意思，以及更多相关的表达应该是什么。What's your problem?This is a phrase that you can use to talk to someone who's acting rude. 当有人表现很粗鲁的时候，你就可以给他讲这一句."What's your problem?" means "Why are you acting that way?” 这时候，这就话的意思就是“你为什么这个样子？”比如，两个人杠在一起A: Dude, what's your problem?哥们，你搞什么？B: What's my problem? You're the one who's acting like a jerk!我搞什么？你才是犯浑的那个人。其他情况和用法另外一个常用的句子就是Is there a problem here? 意思是：这有什么状况吗？比如你看到一群人围着一个女生，这时候你上前帮忙，就可以讲这一句。另外，What is your problem?和What's your question? 意思不一样，后者的意思是：你的问题是什么？最后，当某人生病时候，我们不说What is your problem? 我们只讲What's wrong?

笨老撕今天和大家聊聊“多喝热水”这个话题。我们可能习惯喝热水，外国人大都习惯喝冷水，这更多是个人的喜好和选择。我们重点来聊聊这个词组到底如何用英语表达比较合适。说到“多喝热水”，我们第一反应会是drink more hot water. 但是严格来讲，这里用drink和hot water都不合适。先说hot water。“热水”和hot water 两个概念是不对等的。中文我们讲热水，其实是开水凉过之后的温水，对应的英文应该叫做warm water. 而开水的英文则叫做hot water或者boiled water（煮开的水）。标准100摄氏度（100 degree centigrade）是开水的温度，但是我们都知道由于地理因素，气压不同，不同地方的开水温度可能会有差异。能查到的我们国家饮用开水的标准是92°或以上。所以在国外，当我们说hot water的时候，老外会认为是一个温度很高的水，多用于冲泡茶叶、咖啡等。所以我们需要的是warm water，而不是hot water. 当然你也可以要hot water自己来晾凉，但是，真的会很烫……我们再说drink，是“喝”这个概念的总称。但是，不同的“喝”在英文中有不同的动词，比如大口喝、抿一口喝、狂饮等。说到这，大家应该理解说是，drink more hot water并不符合大多数人喝水的习惯。如果是真的要喝hot water，那么就要“小口抿”，日常一点的说法叫做“吸溜”…… 所以“多喝热水”最正确的英文我们叫做drink more warm water.最后就是一些英文中表示不同方式“喝”的动词，分享给大家。sip v. 抿一口喝Sip hot water frequently throughout the day. It helps to your health.全天时不时地抿几口热水。这样对健康有益。guzzle v. /ˈɡʌzəl/ 狂饮，一口干He just lost his job and guzzled beers one after another.他刚刚丢了工作，于是一个接一个地狂饮啤酒。slug v. 满满地喝一口（烈酒）He had a slug of vodka before going onto the stage.在上台前他喝了一大口伏特加。注：slug可做名词，也可做动词

日常交流中，当别人问你住哪，如果住的是酒店，我们第一反应可能会说I live in a hotel. 但是，老外听到这句回答的时候，心里非常有可能在想：Why do you live in a hotel instead of your house?其实这种场景下用live是非常不地道的，因为live指的是长期的居住，用stay这个词才是最地道的，因为我们绝大多数时候住酒店，是临时住。下面笨老撕语音带着大家来学习live和stay的区别，以及更多不一样的用法。Live in 居住have your home somewhere在某地安家Stay 短暂停留be in a place for a short time as a visitor在某地作为游客短暂停留A: Where are you now?你现在在哪呢？B: I am staying in a hotel and I’ll be back home next week. 我住在一家酒店。下周就回家了。Live v. 享受生活的乐趣I want to live a little before I settle down.在安定下来之前我要好好享受一下生活。Stay n. 逗留时间I am gonna have a short stay in Suzhou on my way to Shanghai. 在去上海的路上，我会在苏州做短暂停留。Live life to the full 过得很充实She enjoys traveling to different places to live her life to the full.她喜欢到各地旅行以充分享受她的生活。

A popular Chinese crosstalk comedian got in hot water on the 11th anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake, after an old video of him making fun of the tragedy. 中国一位著名相声喜剧演员在汶川地震发生11周年的时候惹上了麻烦。此前，他在一个视频中拿地震的事情来开玩笑。A 2018 video of a crosstalk performance by Zhang Yunlei showed that Zhang was joking about three sisters who got married to Tangshan, Wenchuan and Yushu, the three heaviest-hit regions by quakes in recent memory.张云雷2018年的一段相声表演视频显示，他提到三个姐妹结婚的事情，并且调侃这三姐妹分别嫁到了唐山、汶川和玉树。而这三个地区是近年来大家印象中地震最严重的地区。Zhang apologized on Sina Weibo. "Although the performance was last year, I realize that no matter when, no matter what performance, it is not right…"张在新浪微博上道歉说：“ 虽然事情是发生在去年，但我意识到无论什么时候、无论什么样的作品，这种作品都是不应该的。” However, Zhang's apology failed to ease public outrage. 但是，张的道歉并没有打消公众心中的愤怒。在事件一个月之后，最新一期播出的《极限挑战》中，很多粉丝等着张云雷的出现，不料全程未见张云雷一个镜头，张云雷的画面全程被卡通人物替换。关于这一事件，有网友表示强烈谴责也有网友表示 “知错能改，善莫大焉” 也有人表示“ 真是辛苦节目组了......” 你怎么看呢？

笨老撕今天和大家分享的是关于香菜的故事。香菜，一种植物，一种蔬菜，英文叫做cilantro [ səˈlæntroʊ]，英文被归类到herb也就是香料这一类。There are probably a lot of foods that you could take or leave, and there are probably plenty of foods that you'll eat even though you're not particularly fond of them. 可能有很多食物你可以吃或者不吃。也有很多食物你会吃，尽管你并不特别喜欢。But cilantro is a different story. 但是香菜就不同了。Those who like it reported it has a fragrant, fresh smell, and many said it has an almost citrusy [ˈsɪtrəsi] taste. 喜欢它的人说，香菜有一种芳香，新鲜的气味。很多也说，香菜有类似柑橘的口味。On the other hand, those who hate it … really hate it. They liken it to soap, dirt, or bugs, and some say it tastes moldy.[ˈmoʊldi]另一方面，那些讨厌它的人…真的很讨厌它。他们把它比作肥皂、泥土或虫子，还有一些人说香菜吃起来好像发霉了。There are even Facebook pages and websites dedicated to hating cilantro. 甚至还有专门用来抵制香菜的Facebook页面和网站。

【微信公众平台】搜索“英语口语每天学”，获取独家免费英语学习资料【新浪微博】@笨老撕A judge in Los Angeles on Wednesday ruled that coffee companies like Starbucks must carry cancer warning labels in California. That&`&s because the roasting process produces in coffee acrylamide, [əˈkrɪləmaɪd] a chemical that can cause cancer.在加州，周三，一名法官裁定，像星巴克这样的咖啡企业应该店内展示“咖啡可能致癌”的标识。这是因为咖啡豆的烤制过长中会产生丙烯酰胺，一种可能致癌的化学物质。It is clear that high amounts of acrylamide [əˈkrɪləmaɪd], a white odorless [ˈoʊdərləs] compound, can cause damage to the nervous system and possibly raise the risks of cancer.一个很明显的事实是，高浓度的丙烯酰胺（一种白色没有气味的化合物）会造成神经系统的损伤，或者有可能提高患癌症的风险。Acrylamide also forms in some starchy [ˈstɑːr.tʃi] foods during high-temperature cooking, such as frying, baking and roasting. And in the roasting of coffee beans.一些含淀粉的食物在高温烹饪的时候也会形成丙烯酰胺，比如油炸，烘焙，或者烧烤。还有就是在咖啡豆的烤制时。The trouble is, we don&`&t know at what levels it is dangerous. An arm of the World Health Organization in 2010 concluded that acrylamide is a human health concern. Yet in 2016, the cancer agency of WHO removed it from its "possible carcinogen” [kɑːrˈsɪnədʒən] list.问题是，我们不知道多大浓度的丙烯酰胺才是有害的。2010年的时候，世界卫生组织的一个部门决定说丙烯酰胺是人类健康的隐患。不过在2016年的时候，世界卫生组织癌症研究把丙烯酰胺从致癌物质的列表中去掉了。While we are at it, why not warning labels for a range of foods that&`&s been linked to cancer? Canned goods, grilled meat, refined sugars, smoked meats. 我们在针对星巴克的时候，为什么也不对其他有致癌隐患的食物也标上警示标签呢？比如罐装食品，烤肉，精制糖，熏肉等。What&`&s more, there are more studies that suggest coffee reduces the risk of liver, uterine [ˈjuː.təraɪn] and other cancers.而且，有更多研究证明咖啡可以降低患肝癌、子宫癌和其他癌症的风险。Are you a big fan of Starbucks?

I last visited China in 2006 when I took part in a physics conference in Beijing. It was an extraordinary experience. My first trip was in 1985 when I travelled across your remarkable country by train. In my physical travels, I have only been able to touch the surface of your fascinating history and culture. But now I can communicate with you through social media – and I hope to tell you more about my life and work through this page and also to learn from you in reply.我的中国朋友们，你们好吗？好久不见了！我上次拜访中国是在2006年，当时在北京参加了一场物理会议，那次经历非常难忘。我的首次中国之旅是在1985 年，我那时候坐火车游历了你们雄伟的国度。这些旅行使我对博大精深的中国历史和文化略有了接触。不过现在，我可以通过社交媒体和你们交流了 —— 通过这个微博，我希望和你们分享我的生活趣事和工作心得，也希望能在互动中向你们学习。- S.H.extraordinaryunexpected, or strange意想不到的，令人惊奇的，奇怪的It's extraordinary that he managed to sleep through the party.真想不到他竟然从聚会开始一直睡到结束。 remarkableunusual or special and therefore surprising and worth mentioning不寻常，特殊的，因此令人惊奇，引人瞩目的Nelson Mandela was a truly remarkable man.曼德拉是一个真正引人注目的人。fascinatingextremely interesting非常有意思I found the whole movie fascinating.我觉得整个电影都非常有意思。

From William GoldingI think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men,they are far superior and always have been.Whatever you give a woman,she will make greater.If you give her sperm,she'll give you a baby.If you give her a house,she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!我觉得女人假装和男人平等真是太傻了，因为一直以来，女人都远比男人优秀。无论你给一个女人什么，你都会得到更多回报。你给她精子，她给你一个孩子；你给她一座房子，她给你一个家。你给她一堆食材，她给你一顿美餐；你给她一个微笑，她会给你她的心。她会使你给他的东西放大和倍增。所以，如果你给她任何废话，那么请准备好收获成吨的垃圾。重点词汇pretend v. /prɪˈtend/ 假装The children pretended (that) they were dinosaurs. /ˈdaɪ.nə.sɔːr/孩子们假装是恐龙。be equal to和...平等superior/suːˈpɪə.ri.ər/ 更好的，占优势的She was chosen for the job because she was the superior candidate.她被选中去做那个工作是因为她是一个占优势的候选人。inferior /ɪnˈfɪə.ri.ər/ 劣等的，次的These products are inferior to those we bought last year.这些产品没有我们去年买的好。sperm/spɝːm/精子，精液grocery/ˈɡrəʊ.sər.i/ 食品，杂货multiply /ˈmʌl.tə.plaɪ/成倍增加If you multiply 7 by 15 you get 105.如果你用15乘以7，你就得到105.enlarge /ɪnˈlɑːrdʒ/扩大增加They've enlarged the kitchen by building over part of the garden.在花园一部分的土地上，他们扩建了厨房。

The light turned green and we met at the next red light where he motioned me to roll down my window. We had just enough time to introduce ourselves before the light turned green again. He looked back and said "I&`&m going to see you again," and drove away. We didn&`&t get a chance to exchange numbers. A week later I was at a local deli with friends, and little did I know, he worked there. We reintroduced ourselves, and as I was about to leave, I wrote my number on a napkin. When I went to hand it to him, he already had his number ready to give to me too. It&`&s been a green light ever since."在一个红绿灯前，AJ在我旁边停下了车，向我招手，我冲他笑了笑。绿灯后，我们在下一个红灯旁又撞见了，他示意我摇下车窗。这个时候我们才有足够的时间来相互认识。他走时回头看着我说，我们会再见的，于是就开车离去了。当时我们并没有交换电话号码。一周后当我和朋友们在当地的一家熟食店购物的时候，又遇到了他，原来他在那工作。我们又重新相互介绍，当我准备离开时，我把自己的号码写在一张餐巾纸上，当我把餐巾纸递给他的时候，他早已经准备好了自己的电话号码给我。从此以后，我们就一路绿灯。The Running Shoe Salesman And The Personal Trainer.跑鞋推销员和私人教练14.8k 次赞 617 条评论"A couple of years ago, I needed some new running shoes, so I went to a sports store close to where I live. There was this guy with green eyes who worked there and asked me if I needed help. With butterflies in my stomach, I told him I was a personal trainer and needed new running shoes. We started talking and eventually he sold me a pair and I left the store. A few days later, I started seeing him at the gym where I worked and we ended up working out together (couples who train together stay together.) Today we are married with a beautiful daughter. It&`&s my own Cinderella story, but instead of a glass slipper, my prince gave me a pair of Nikes."一些年之前，我需要一些新跑鞋，所以来到了离我住处比较近的体育用品店。在那我遇到了有着绿色眼睛的他，他问我需要什么。我内心小鹿乱撞，告诉他我是一个私人教练，需要一些跑鞋。于是我们就开始交谈，最终我买了一双鞋离开了那家店。几天之后，我开始在我工作的健身房里看到他，最终我们开始一起健身。（就像情侣一样健身和生活）现在我们已经结婚并且有一个可爱的女儿。这就是我自己的灰姑娘的故事，但我的王子给我的是一双耐克，而不是玻璃鞋。The Ultimate Frisbee Player And Her Straightforward Suitor.飞盘情缘11.7k 次赞 646 条评论"I was 27 and fed up with the dating scene.

When i replied no, he said, "well then you should date me." We&`&ve been together for 15 years now and have two kids. Sometimes people just need to ask, because the answer might be yes."我当时27岁，已经受够了约会这一套。我对身边的朋友们讲，如果一个（喜欢我的）男的不能很直接地告诉我，那么他基本没戏。于是乎在不久之后的一个夏夜，当我在一个休闲联赛中玩极限飞盘的时候，有个自信的家伙走到我面前，对我说，你现在有男朋友吗？当我说没有的时候，他说，那么我们应该来约会试试。现在我们在一起已经15年，并且有2个孩子。有时候你要做的就是开口去问出那句话。

It is generally accepted that this day is not a good day to socialize or visit relatives and friends, because “red mouth” in Chinese culture is easy to cause quarrels and fights. This day is also known as “Chi Gou Ri” (the day of Red Dog). The Red Dog is the God of Blazing [ ˈbleɪzɪŋ ] Wrath [ ræθ ]. Bad things will happen if people run into the Red Dog. So, on this day, older people who believe in superstition will stay at home all day long.在春节的第三天，人们经常不外出，因为这一天被叫做“赤口日”。人们认为这天不是个社交和走亲访友的好日子，因为根据中国的文化，“红嘴”容易在这一天容易与人发生口角争执。这一天也叫做“赤狗日”。传说中「赤狗」是「熛怒之神」。如果人们遇到红狗，会有不好的事情发生。所以在这一天，相信迷信的老人们会一天都待在家里。The third day of the Chinese New Year is an ominous[ ˈɑ:mɪnəs ] day, so there are many other things people are forbidden to do according to the traditional customs. For example, on this day, people are not allowed to clean the house, make a fire, draw water and so on. In some regions, people are also forbidden to eat rice because they believe this can lead to reduction of rice’s and other crops’ output. However, with time progress, fewer and fewer people believe in the superstition. More and more people take this day as a precious opportunity for family reunion.第三天传说是不太好的一天，所以根据传统文化，有很多的禁忌。比如，在这一天，大家（最好不要）打扫屋子，不要生火，不汲水等等。在一些区域，人们不吃米，因为吃米会影响大米和其他农作物的收成。但是，随着时间的推移，越来越少的人相信迷信。更多的人把这一天认为是和家人团聚的机会。

【微信公众平台】“英语口语每天学”Did you know that most people form their opinion about you within the first seven seconds of meeting you? Seven seconds isn&`&t a lot of time.While it is possible for people to change their minds later.Here are five tips to make sure the first impression you give is a positive one. Arrive On TimePeople are busy; they don&`&t like to wait.If you waste their time by making them wait to see you, they will have a negative opinion（负面意见） of you before they even meet you. Look Presentable(像样的)Show up looking like you rolled out of bed(刚从床上爬起来) and no one will take you seriously. Instead, dress up（打扮） a little, without appearing overdressed（穿着过于讲究的）. Shower and make sure your clothes, shoes and glasses are all dirt, stain（污点） and tear（破洞）-free. Use a Firm HandshakeHandshakes may be old-fashioned（过时的）, but they are still incredibly important. A good handshake should be firm and confident. It should consist of two pumps（抽水机，打气筒）, and it should last no more than one to three seconds. Be PreparedIf someone else is taking time out of their busy day to meet with you, the last thing you will want to do is to waste their time. Instead, you want to be fully prepared（充分的准备） for the meeting. Smile!Lastly, no matter how nervous you are about your big meeting, don&`&t let it show. Keep a smile on your face as much as possible. Smiling is a great way to not only put your own mind at ease（使不拘束，使安心）, but also to help the other person feel at ease as well.

"I have brought you some cheesecakes, and a little pot of butter, that mamma has sent you."The good old woman, who was ill in bed, called out, "Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."The wolf pulled the bobbin, and the door went open.The wolf then jumped upon the poor old grandmother, tied her up in a sheet and hid her in the closet. The wolf then shut the door, and laid himself down in the bed, and waited for Little Red Riding Hood, who very soon after reached the house.Tap! tap!"Who is there?" cried he. She was at first a little afraid at hearing the gruff voice of the wolf, but she thought that perhaps her grandmother had caught a cold, so she answered: "It is your grandchild, Little Red Riding Hood. Mamma has sent you some cheesecakes, and a little pot of butter."The wolf cried out in a softer voice, "Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."Little Red Riding Hood pulled the bobbin, and the door went open. When she came into the room, the wolf hid himself under the bedclothes, and said to her, trying all he could to speak in a feeble voice: "Put the basket on the stool, my dear, and take off your cloak, and come closer."Little Red Riding Hood, who always did as she was told, straightaway, removed her cloak, and stepped toward the bed. But she thought it strange to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, so she said to her: "Dear me, grandmamma, what great arms you have got!""They are so much the better to hug you, my child," replied the wolf."But grandmamma," said the little girl, "what big ears you have got!""They are so much the better to hear you, my child," replied the wolf."But then, grandmamma, what great eyes you have got!" said the little girl."They are so much the better to see you, my child," replied the wolf."And grandmamma, what great teeth you have!" said the little girl, who now began to be rather afraid."They are to eat you up," said the wolf.When, just then, before the mean wolf could eat up Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma popped out of the closet and hit the mean wolf over his head with her cane, knocking him out cold.

【微信公众平台】“英语口语每天学”Once upon a time there lived, in a village, a country girl, who was the sweetest little creature that ever was seen. Her mother naturally loved her with excessive fondness, and her grandmother doted on her still more.The good woman had made for her a pretty little red colored hood, which so much became the little girl, that every one called her Little Red Riding Hood.One day her mother having made some cheesecakes, said to her, "Go, my child, and see how your grandmother does, for I hear she is ill. Carry her some of these cakes, and a little pot of butter." Little Red Riding Hood set out with a basket filled with the cakes and the pot of butter, for her grandmother&`&s house, which was in a village a little way off the town that she and her mother lived in.As she was crossing a wood, which lay in her road, she met a large wolf, which had a great mind to eat her up, but dared not, for fear of some wood-cutters, who were at work nearby.Yet he spoke to her, and asked her where she was going. The little girl, who did not know the danger of talking to a wolf, replied: "I am going to see my grandmamma, and carry these cakes and a pot of butter.""Does she live far off?" said the wolf."Oh yes!" answered Little Red Riding Hood, "beyond the mill you see yonder, at the first house in the village.""Well," said the wolf, "I will take this way, and you take that, and see which will be there the soonest."The wolf set out full speed, running as fast as he could, and taking the nearest way, while the little girl took the longest; and as she went along began to gather nuts, run after butterflies, and make nose-gays of such flowers as she found within her reach.

Someone once said, love does not walk away, people do. I will add, and they take love with them. It is like taking it out of an old box, folding it carefully, packing into a bag and taking it away from you. And you are left with nothing but pain, memories and a great feeling of a loss. A loss of something big. Something important. Something meaningful. Once it is gone, nothing else matters. The world is not the same anymore. You are not the same anymore.有人说爱永远在那，只有人才会离开。我想说，离开的人们是带着爱消逝的。就好像把爱从旧盒子里拿出来，小心折叠，放进另外一个袋子，然后离你远去。留给你的只有痛苦、回忆和强烈的逝去感。逝去的是那些重要的、有意义的。当一切不再，其他都已无关紧要。世界不是原来的世界，你也不再是原来的你。And you find yourself thinking… more. Retrospecting… more. Wondering… more.And months will go before finally you will be able to look back and realize how much time you have wasted just sitting there, sorting out the pieces of your heart according to the various degrees of pain you feel.突然你会发现你自己沉思许久，回忆许久，徘徊许久…在你最终能够去回头看时，已经是数月之后，你会发现原来自己坐在原地疗伤时已经浪费了很多时间。And months will go before finally you will be able to let go and you finally give another someone a chance. But it will be months later. And for now, here you are, stuck in the past, wishing it was the present.数月之后，你才能够放手并且给另外一个人一个机会。但是那只是在数月之后，而现在，你寄希望于过去，希望现在依然和过去那样。Months will go before you realize quite a number of things.You will learn that people always turn out how they promised they wouldn’t.You will learn that forever does not really last forever and that feelings have their expiration date.You will learn that people lie. You will learn that people leave. You will learn that some things are just not meant to be.你需要一段时间去明白一些事情，你会意识到承诺仅仅是承诺。你也会知道永远其实是不存在，感情也会有自己的保鲜期。你还会知道谎言依旧存在，总有人去茶凉的那一天，一些事情并不是命中注定。But most of all you will learn that memories fade. You will sit there thinking about time spent and promises made. You will remember all the happy smiles and all the cheerful moments. You will let the joys of the past put you into illusion of love and warmth. You will feel the presence of your loved one when you close your eyes, but when you reach for them, you will feel them slipping away. You will feel your memories fade.但最重要的是，你会懂得记忆会消散。你坐在原地想着曾今的那些海枯石烂，你会记得所有的灿烂和笑容和开心的时刻，你会让过去的快乐将自己置身于爱和温暖的幻觉中。你会在闭上眼的时候感觉到曾经的ta就在你身边。但当你靠近时，幻想已经早早溜走。你会发现回忆已逝。And you will keep wondering how come that something so strong made you this weak. It will make you confused and lost. Lost to the world. Lost to yourself. You will take time to get over it. You will take time to adjust to a new reality. And then a moment comes when you start to pretend that everything is alright. Because people expect you to be. And because when the whole world thinks that you are fine, sometimes you forget for a while that you are not.为什么曾近让你那么无畏的一段感情会让现在的你变得如此脆弱，你会绞尽脑汁地想，以至于迷失自己。你需要时间去忘记和适应现实。接下来你假装一切都很好。因为周围人希望你是这样子。因为当整个世界都觉得你很已经没事了的时候，有时候你真的会感觉自己已经好起来了。And you will learn new things again.You will learn that people mistake your strength for ability to hide the pain deep inside.You will learn that no matter how much you wish they could be, things will never be the same.And you will learn that no matter how good you are, it does not guarantee a happily-ever-after.这时候你成长了。你知道周围人把你的坚强错当忍痛的能力。你知道不论你多希望一切都是原来的样子，但这永远已不可能。你更会知道你的好不会换来一个幸福快乐的结局。But it all does not matter. It all will not matter. You will wake up every day and keep on walking. No matter how many pieces your heart consists now of, you will hold them all together, as a whole.keep-on-walkingAnd you will keep on walking.但这些都不重要。将来也不重要。每天醒来，你的生活依然继续。无论你的心多么地破碎不堪，你依然会继续向前走，并且一直向前走。And even if it is damn painful to let go, even if it is the toughest thing in the world not to cry when it is the only thing you actually want to do, even then you still keep on walking.即使放手是如此之痛，即使伤心是最难的选择，但又只是唯一你想做的事情，你依然会选择向前走。Even when you know the past can’t become the present and surely can’t turn into the future, you still keep on walking.即使你知道过去不会变成现在，更不会变成将来，你依然会继续向前。Because you will also learn that after every storm will always come the sun. Be it weeks, months or years (God forbid!) the sun will come. Maybe not the way you expected it to be, but most probably the way it is meant to be.Just keep on walking…因为你会知道，雨后的彩虹会来，可能不是自己期待的那样，但很有可能就是命中注定，那么就继续向前走。

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, my fellow Americans:We are fifteen years into this new century. Fifteen years that dawned with terror touching our shores; that unfolded with a new generation fighting two long and costly wars; that saw a vicious recession spread across our nation and the world. It has been, and still is, a hard time for many.But tonight, we turn the page.Tonight, after a breakthrough year for America, our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999. Our unemployment rate is now lower than it was before the financial crisis. More of our kids are graduating than ever before; more of our people are insured than ever before; we are as free from the grip of foreign oil as we've been in almost 30 years.Tonight, for the first time since 9/11, our combat mission in Afghanistan is over. Six years ago, nearly 180,000 American troops served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, fewer than 15,000 remain. And we salute the courage and sacrifice of every man and woman in this 9/11 Generation who has served to keep us safe. We are humbled and grateful for your service.America, for all that we've endured; for all the grit and hard work required to come back; for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this:The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong.At this moment -- with a growing economy, shrinking deficits, bustling industry, and booming energy production -- we have risen from recession freer to write our own future than any other nation on Earth. It's now up to us to choose who we want to be over the next fifteen years, and for decades to come.Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well? Or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?Will we approach the world fearful and reactive, dragged into costly conflicts that strain our military and set back our standing? Or will we lead wisely, using all elements of our power to defeat new threats and protect our planet?Will we allow ourselves to be sorted into factions and turned against one another -- or will we recapture the sense of common purpose that has always propelled America forward?In two weeks, I will send this Congress a budget filled with ideas that are practical, not partisan. And in the months ahead, I'll crisscross the country making a case for those ideas.So tonight, I want to focus less on a checklist of proposals, and focus more on the values at stake in the choices before us.It begins with our economy.Seven years ago, Rebekah and Ben Erler of Minneapolis were newlyweds. She waited tables. He worked construction. Their first child, Jack, was on the way.They were young and in love in America, and it doesn't get much better than that."If only we had known," Rebekah wrote to me last spring, "what was about to happen to the housing and construction market."As the crisis worsened, Ben's business dried up, so he took what jobs he could find, even if they kept him on the road for long stretches of time. Rebekah took out student loans, enrolled in community college, and retrained for a new career. They sacrificed for each other. And slowly, it paid off. They bought their first home. They had a second son, Henry. Rebekah got a better job, and then a raise. Ben is back in construction -- and home for dinner every night."It is amazing," Rebekah wrote, "what you can bounce back from when you have to...we are a strong, tight-knit family who has made it through some very, very hard times."We are a strong, tight-knit family who has made it through some very, very hard times.America, Rebekah and Ben's story is our story. They represent the millions who have worked hard, and scrimped, and sacrificed, and retooled. You are the reason I ran for this office. You're the people I was thinking of six years ago today, in the darkest months of the crisis, when I stood on the steps of this Capitol and promised we would rebuild our economy on a new foundation. And it's been your effort and resilience that has made it possible for our country to emerge stronger.We believed we could reverse the tide of outsourcing, and draw new jobs to our shores. And over the past five years, our businesses have created more than 11 million new jobs.We believed we could reduce our dependence on foreign oil and protect our planet. And today, America is number one in oil and gas. America is number one in wind power. Every three weeks, we bring online as much solar power as we did in all of 2008. And thanks to lower gas prices and higher fuel standards, the typical family this year should save $750 at the pump.We believed we could prepare our kids for a more competitive world. And today, our younger students have earned the highest math and reading scores on record. Our high school graduation rate has hit an all-time high. And more Americans finish college than ever before.We believed that sensible regulations could prevent another crisis, shield families from ruin, and encourage fair competition. Today, we have new tools to stop taxpayer-funded bailouts, and a new consumer watchdog to protect us from predatory lending and abusive credit card practices. And in the past year alone, about ten million uninsured Americans finally gained the security of health coverage.At every step, we were told our goals were misguided or too ambitious; that we would crush jobs and explode deficits. Instead, we've seen the fastest economic growth in over a decade, our deficits cut by two-thirds, a stock market that has doubled, and health care inflation at its lowest rate in fifty years.

释义A way of admitting a mistake, and apologizing for that mistake, without actually apologizing. 表示道歉的方式之一，相当于"my fault", "my mistake", "I apologize"。但实际并不是很重要的事情，并且这些事情也不会有很严重的后果，其实并不是真正的道歉。比如路上两个人不小心撞到了对方，坐地铁时不小心踩到别人等。We can put it this way. "I did something bad, and I recognize that I did something bad, but there is nothing that can be done for it now, and there is technically no reason to apologize for that error, so let&`&s just assume that I won&`&t do it again, get over it, and move on with our lives."我知道我做错了，但是我也无能为力，并且这个事情也没有什么好道歉的，我下次也不会再这么做了。出于礼貌就会说my bad。来源"My bad" is an American slang that was made popular by basketball players in playground games in the 1970s and 1980s. It was used by young urban players when admitting to an error.这个俚语源自于七八十年代的美国，开始时流行于街头篮球。球员之间犯规或者小的错误时就会说my bad。后来逐渐被广泛使用，不仅是在美国，在澳大利亚也是常见的英文表达。它比I’m sorry 更加随意。举例1. 王小二路上看手机撞到另外一个看手机的骚年；2. 吃饭时王小二被别人撞到可乐撒到身上；"Hey, you spilled my Coke all over me!" "Oh. My bad."

释义Skeleton 骨架，骨骼；closet储藏室An embarrassing secret；A secret source of shame, potentially ruinous if exposed, which a person or family makes efforts to conceal.让人尴尬的秘密；一个不可见人的秘密，如果暴露就会招致不好的后果；来源This phrase was coined in England in the 19th century. 这个词组在19世纪的英国被发明。The English now usually use &`&a skeleton in the cupboard&`&, with &`&skeleton in the closet&`& more common in the USA. 现在英国人用得更多的是skeleton in the cupboard ，美国人多用skeleton in the closet 。A skeleton in the closet&`& undoubtedly originated as an allusion to an apparently irreproachable person or family having a guilty secret waiting to be uncovered. 储藏室里的骨架，暗示的是一个没有过失的人或者家庭做出了不可告人的错事。The close-at-hand domestic imagery of a closet or cupboard gives a sense of the ever-present risk of discovery. 储藏室或者橱柜里的骨架这个比喻很形象地说明这个秘密很有可能随时被发现。The phrase was first used in the early 1800s. 这个词组第一次有记载的使用是在18世纪。The first reference found in print is a figurative one in a piece by William Hendry Stowell, in the UK monthly periodical The Eclectic Review, 1816. William Hendry Stowell 在1816年英国名叫The Eclectic Review 的月刊中提到。Two great sources of distress are the danger of contagion and the apprehension of hereditary diseases. 不幸的两个源泉是这种疾病传染的危险性和遗传的恐惧。The dread of being the cause of misery to posterity has prevailed over men to conceal the skeleton in the closet...人们担心会遗传给后代，于是都会去隐瞒这个事情。也有人说这个词组来源于臭名昭著的抢尸者的年代，也就是在1832年之前，英国的解剖学法令还没有允许医生使用尸体来做科学研究，所以有些医生会非法藏尸体在家里的储藏室里。举例1, 王小二想竞选总统，但是因为他的丑事太多，所以一定不会成功；He&`&s a very popular senator but he will never be elected president; he has too many skeletons in the closet.2, 刚找男朋友，你妈不喜欢，就问你那个男孩有什么不好的地方，你不耐烦地说：I had only known him for one week. How could I know what skeletons he had in his closet?

It’s a New Year and there’s a lot that is new in our country today: two million new private sector jobs created since 2010; a new spirit in our classrooms with over one million more children learning in schools that are good or outstanding; for over 24 million hard-working people, there’ve been new tax cuts and for three million of the lowest paid, no income tax whatsoever. There are tens of thousands of new homeowners, thanks to our Help to Buy scheme; new security for those retiring after a life of work, with the state pension increased by ￡800 so far and by ￡950 next year. And the world is looking at Britain in a new way, with our economy growing faster than any other major developed nation.None of this happened out of thin air. It’s because we put in place a long-term plan with some clear values at its heart. Ours must be a country where if you put in, you will get out; where if you want to work, there are decent jobs; where if you put the hours in, you keep more of your own money; where if you’re raising your children the best you can, you can expect they’ll get a proper education; and where if you’re willing to save, you can buy a home of your own; and of course where when you retire, you will have dignity and security in old age.Our long-term plan is working. Our country is being turned around. But let us be clear:With this New Year comes new challenges. The global economy remains uncertain, and many countries continue to struggle.And against that backdrop, Britain has a choice: between the competence that has got us this far or the chaos of giving it up, going backwards and taking huge risks.So I say this should be our resolution: to stick to the plan, stay on course to prosperity, and keep doing the important, long-term work of securing a better future.2015 can promise to be a great year for our country – if we make the right choices together.And for now, I’d like to wish you, your family and your friends a very Happy New Year.

释义eager to listen; attentive；渴望去听，全神贯注；来源The ear is the organ by which a person hears. So, if we figuratively say that "you are all ears," it means that at that moment you are keenly listening to whatever is being said. It&`&s as if no other part of your body mattered except your ears. This idiom is about three centuries old.耳朵是用来听的器官；所以如果我们象征性地说：I&`&m all ears.我全是耳朵，那么意思就是说你在全神贯注地去听，其他的身体部位已经无关紧要了。这个成语已经有大约三个世纪的历史。举例Is there anything you&`&d like to tell me? I&`&m all ears.你是否有什么需要跟我说的？我在听。Now tell me all about your adventures in Africa last summer. I&`&m all ears.现在告诉我你在非洲的所有冒险经历，我会洗耳恭听。

释义：Knock 动词，敲，打；1. To bump or strike something in such a way as to tip it 打翻I knocked over a can of paint and spent the next hour cleaning up.我打翻了一罐油漆，于是乎花了一个小时去清理；2. to rob something like a bank or a shop 抢劫银行或者商店①一般后接的词语：bank,store, jewellery store, liquor store, gold shop, gun shop, pawn shop②举例：If drugs were given to addicts，they wouldn't have to knock over stores and shops to get the money to buy them.如果把药品给吸毒者，那么他们就不会再去打劫商店，再拿这些钱去买药物。They tried to knock over the store and learned a hard lesson when they got caught.他们抢劫未遂，被捕后被好好地上了一课。使用提示This is typically used in American and Australian English but may be used in other varieties of English too.这个俚语一般在美国和澳大利亚用的比较多，但是其他英语国家也会用到。

释义： Having suitable skill in multiple things, but not being an expert in any of them.了解很多事情，但是没有一件是擅长的； 来源： The word &`&jack&`& can refer to the common man. Jack指一个人。Thus, a &`&jack of all trades&`& meant a man who is competant at many different skills. Jack of all trades指的是一个错才多艺的人。The first half of the phrase was being used in the 1600s, 这个词组的第一部分刚开始是在16世纪使用的，and was apparently spoken in a complimentary fashion when describing people. 是用来赞扬某人。 An early example comes from a book published in 1612, titled Essays and characters of a Prison and Prisoners. 这个词组比较早的来源是1612年标题是Essays and characters of a Prison and Prisoners 的书中。 From what I could find, it looks like it was somewhere around the 1800s when the expression developed a less praiseful meaning, as that was when the &`&master of none&`& part was attached to it. 慢慢地从18世纪开始，随着master of none的加入，这个词组的意思就慢慢不再表示夸奖了。 举例： 1.He seems to know almost everything, no wonder he is referred to as a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. 他似乎对所有的事情都知晓，难怪人们称他为万事通，但其实他样样不精。 2. I was planning on earning an associate&`&s degree in numerous subjects, but my family suggested not to be jack of all trades and master of none, so I had to rethink my future plans with college. 我准备去拿许多科目的副学士学位，可是我家人建议我不要变得万事皆通，但一无所长的人，所以我准备重新思考下大学的学习计划。

解释： An offensive, derogatory word for a gay man, or a male homosexual 这个词除了水果的意思，在口语中还有男同性恋者的意思，是一个有点冒犯行和贬低意味的词语； 来源： The origin is unknown, but I think it's just supposed to imply the weakness by contrast with "manly" meat-and-potatoes, beefy metaphors.关于这个词组的来源查了很多资料，都不是很确定。但是猜想之所以用fruit来指代gay，可能是比起其他的食物，比如肉类等，水果会显得有些软弱。当然只是猜想。这个词有时候也可以和fruitcake互换来指代gay。 使用建议 This word is offensive to most gay men, so you're advised not to use it. 这个词对于很多的同性恋朋友都很有冒犯性，建议不去使用。If you want to use an informal word to refer to a male homosexual, use the word "gay"," gay man" or "gay guy" instead. 可以使用另外一些词，比如说gay，gay man 或者gay guy. 举例： 王小二对什么事情都比较感兴趣，昨天坐地铁时盯着一群着装怪异的小男孩看了好久，结果被那个小孩误认为是gay， He was on the subway when some teenage boys sat near him, and one of them said, "Why you lookin' at us? You some sort of fruit, are ya?"

解释： (n.) a person who's annoying because they try to show how clever and knowledgeable they are 一个很讨厌的人，经常炫耀自己的聪明和博学； (adj.) having an annoying way of trying to seem clever 自以为是的人； 来源： It is a phrase coined by Red Forman on an episode of That 70's Show. 这个俚语来自于美国一部很著名的情景喜剧“七十年代秀”中的一个人物，这个人叫Red Forman.其中他第一次说道, Nobody likes a smart-ass. Although Red Foreman did use it well and it was very funny, it probably evolved from the original term "smart alec" 尽管Red Foreman在剧中将这个词组用得很好而且很幽默，但是这个词组很有可能来源于另外一个词，叫做“smart alec” Hoag was a pimp and a thief in New York City in the 1840s. Partnered with his wife Melinda and another known as “French Jack”, they would rob his wife’s “customers” while she otherwise distracted them. Alec是一个人的名字，全名叫做Alec Hoag，他是一个1840年左右生活在纽约的一个皮条客，和他的妻子一起，通过色诱抢劫顾客的钱财。有时候被抢的顾客会去报警，但是Alec通过买通警察，经常会逃避被处罚，所以当地的警察就会说Don’t be a Smart Alec.后来smart Alec慢慢地演变为smart ass，用以指代自作聪明的人。 这个词组不是很offensive，三颗星是满分的话，那么offensive的程度只有一星。 举例： 1. 王小二是一个自以为是的家伙，总是吹嘘自己上知天文，下知地理，其实他只是略懂皮毛。 He thinks he knows everything but actually he is only a smart ass. 这里做名词来用 2. 经验丰富的种植户总是不喜欢理论派的教授来教自己如何来经营农场，那么就可以将： We don't need some smart-ass ecology professor coming out here and telling us how to run our farms. 这里做形容词。

释义： Ignoring an obvious problem; Failing to address an issue that stands out in a major way.忽略明显的问题，避而不谈的事情； 来源： The imagery for this phrase is something like this: 这个词组的寓意是这样When there's a big problem that is easily noticeable, 当有一个显而易见的事情时yet nobody is willing to discuss or even acknowledge it, then the issue sticks out like a sore thumb.但没有人愿意去谈论或者承认It's as if there is a giant elephant in the room and everyone is just ignoring it despite how big and apparent it is. 就好比屋子里有一头象，尽管很大很明显，但是依然没有人留意到。Seriously, you can't miss them. 认真来讲，你应该会留意到。 The exact origin of this phrase is unclear, 词组的来源不是很确定however, the phrase looks to be a relatively recent one, only being found in print as early as the mid 20th century, though it's always possible that the idiom is older. 但是，词组相对来讲是比较新的，大约在20世纪时候被发现。Wikipedia states that the Oxford English Dictionary credits the New York Times newspaper from June 20th, 1959, as the first recorded use of this phrase as a simile.维基百科记录，牛津词典记录1959年6月20号的纽约时报第一次提到过这个词组。 举例： A century later, China is not so much the elephant in the room, but the elephant in the region. 一个世纪后，中国不再被视而不见，而是被更多地关注；

Anything that's on the verge of being impossible.很难找到的东西，也就是大海捞针； 来源： Today, this phrase is typically said as "It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack." 现在，这个词组更多地说法是It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Searching for my keys in the garden is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. 在院子里找我的钥匙就好像是在大海里捞针一样困难。 2. He tried to find his lost contact lens on the beach, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. 他在海滩下找遗失的隐形眼镜，但这好比是大海捞针，希望渺茫。

释义： Losing money. Being in debt.亏损，欠债； 来源： it's believed this phrase originates from accountants who are selective on which color ink they use when making entries in a firm's book. 传说这个词组的来源与会计有关。会计在公司的账本上记账的时候，用什么颜色的笔很有讲究。If someone is doing business at a loss, instead of using black ink, accountants will use red to write down the deficit.如果有亏损，会计就会用红色的笔标出赤字，而不是用黑色的。 Indeed, the color red is prominently used in businesses to signify a loss, while black is used to indicate a profit.的确，在商业环境中，红色常常用来表示亏损，黑色用来表示收益。 Thus, a company that's interested in making money would desire to be 'in the black' rather than be 'in the red.' 因此，想赚钱的公司都很希望自己是in the black而不是in the red. This idiom seemingly originates from the early 1900s. 这个词组应该是起源于19世纪。There are numerous newspapers from that period of time which use the phrase when referring to businesses functioning at a loss. 在那个时候，有很多报纸，上面用到这个词组来描述亏损的企业。For example, the Daily Globe from 1927, under the subheading 'Failed to get Interest,' reads:比如，Daily Globe在1972年的副标题为Failed to get Interest的文章中这么写道： "I regret to report to you that the people who put money into it failed by $30,000 to earn even operating expense and depreciation. The company is in the red all the time."我很遗憾地告诉大家，投钱进去的人亏损了3万美元，甚至连营运和折旧费用都没有赚回来，公司一直在亏损之中。 举例： 1.His company, however, ended up in the red. It lost more money than it earned. The company was no longer profitable. 但是，他的公司最后还是亏损了。亏的钱比赚的还多。现在已经不盈利了； 2.Work out how much sleep you owe your body and find out how to recover if your sleep account is in the red.算出你到底缺少了多少睡眠。如果你的睡眠帐户处于赤字的话，要用多少时间来补。

释义： To bring up an issue that has already been concluded;提出一件一件结束的事情 something that's considered to be pointless. 做没有意义的事情； 来源： This phrase may originate with horse racing, 这个词组最早来源于赛马比赛。where horses are sometimes "beaten" by their riders to get them moving faster. 比赛中马被骑手赶着以跑的更快。Depending on the rules, a jockey usually has access to a riding crop, which is sorta like a miniature whip, 根据规则，骑手可以手持一个短马鞭 and this is used to slap the horse on the thigh.这个马鞭用来击打马的屁股。 The horse responds either by running faster, or not at all if it's too tired.马就会因此跑的更快，或者因为太累而根本没有反应。 While there is much controversy involved with how race horses should be treated, 与此同时，如何对待比赛的马儿也人们也很有争议；the purpose of "beating" horses during a race is to make them go faster. 击打马儿的目的是让他们跑的更快On the other hand, if the horses were dead, then there wouldn't really be much of a or point in beating them. 另外一方面，如果马儿死了，那么打他们就没有什么意义了。Thus, the pointlessness of beating a dead horse would eventually go on to apply to other things.所以慢慢地，去拍打一个死马也被慢慢地用来指代做没有意义的事情； 举例： 1.I hate to beat a dead horse, but it is very important that you understand this before you leave. 我不想多此一举。但你离开以前必须了解这个。 2.Why do you insist on beating a dead horse by bringing up these ancient problems of ours? 你为什么总是翻旧账呢？

The Jack o' Lantern is made by placing a candle inside a hollowed-out pumpkin, which is carved to look like a face. 南瓜灯的传统来自于一个民间传说。一个名叫Jack的人戏弄了恶魔，之后就不得不提着一盏灯在地球上流浪。南瓜灯是用雕刻成脸型，中间挖空，再插上蜡烛的南瓜做成的。 There are many other superstitions associated with Halloween. A superstition is an irrational idea, like believing that the number 13 is unlucky! 和万圣节有关的迷信还有很多。迷信是一种不合常理的想法，比如认为13是不吉利的数字！ Halloween is also associated with supernatural creatures like ghosts and vampires. These creatures are not part of the natural world. They don't really exist... or do they? 万圣节还和一些诸如鬼魂和吸血鬼之类的超自然的生物有关。这些生物不是自然界的一部分。他们实际上是不存在的......或许他们其实真的存在？ Witches are popular Halloween characters that are thought to have magical powers. They usually wear pointed hats and fly around on broomsticks. 女巫是万圣节很受欢迎的人物，人们认为她们具有强大的魔力。他们通常戴着尖顶的帽子，骑在扫把上飞来飞去。 Bad omens are also part of Halloween celebrations.

NICKLE N I C K LE 镍 是美元中五分钱的硬币 Dime D I M E是美元中十分钱的铸币 dime是值十美分的硬币。 dime的价值虽然是nickel的两倍， 但是dime也只是一枚很小的硬币，而且dime跟 nickel相比是既小又薄，原因是过去曾经用比镍贵重得多的银子来铸造dime。 Nickle-and-dime can be used as a verb, and it can also be used as an adjective. Let’s see what does it mean by knowing some examples. Suppose a dad is complaining about his kids that they often ask him for money. Nickel-and-dime既可以被当作一个动词来用，也可以作为一个形容词。我们还是通过例句来领会它的意思吧。先看一位爸爸在抱怨自己两个十多岁的子女老向父母要零花钱，数目虽然不大， 但是长年累月、积少成多，也成为负担了。请注意他话里的习惯用语nickel-and-dime是个复合动词： 例句1：Our kids Bill and Susie nickel-and-dime my wife and me to death. It's just a few dollars every time, but it never stops and after a while it adds up to so much money it makes quite a hole in our pockets. 他说：他们的孩子Bill和Susie老问他和太太来要零花钱，烦得要命。虽然每回只是几美元，但是没完没了，长此以往， 就成了一大笔钱，好象他们口袋里有个窟窿似的。 这段话里的复合动词nickel-and-dime意思显然是零打碎敲地长期消耗，而花费了大笔钱财。刚才说过习惯用语nickel-and-dime也可以当形容词用。比方说，在这句话里： 例句2：He has a little nickle-and-dime business that makes just enough money to put food on the table and pay the rent. 这句话是说一个人有个小本经营的小买卖，挣来的钱刚够饭钱和房租。 这里的nickle-and-dime描绘business，是形容词，意思就是“小本经营的”，或者“微不足道的”

释义： Flightmare: F L I G H T M A R E Flightmare refers to an unpleasant experience during air travel. A blend of the words 'flight' and 'nightmare'. flightmare（航班噩梦）指不愉快的飞行旅途，这个词是flight（航班）和nightmare（噩梦）的合成词。 Flightmares go well beyond the usual perils of airline travel such as crowded seats, lost luggage and food not fit for a dog. A flightmare usually involves lost money, lost opportunities (such as missing a graduation or a funeral) and lost dignity. “航班噩梦”所指的并不是飞行途中所遇到的座位拥挤、行李丢失及食物不佳等平常的问题，而是诸如钱财丢失、机会错失（错过毕业典礼或亲人葬礼）以及尊严丧失等严重的意外事件。 I hope everybody would be lucky enough to avoid the flightmares. And I’m gonna use some examples to show you guys how to use this slang. 举例： 当飞机晚点5个小时，而你因此失去了观看你家idol演唱会的机会 你会说 The flight was delayed and I arrived at the concert 5 hours late, what a flightmare! Actually, this slang is pretty easy to use, just think of it as a regular noun to describe a horrible, unpleasant flight. 实际上呢，这个俚语还是挺容易运用的，只要把它单纯地当做一个名词来描述一次糟糕的飞行旅途就好了。 I hope you guys can all remember the meaning of ‘flightmare’ and master it just like eating a piece of cake. And FYI, wish everyone would be lucky enough to avoid the accidents and flightmares. 希望大家都能够轻轻松松地牢牢记住这个组合单词的意义和用法，另外呢， 我希望大家都是幸运的， 不会再有这样糟糕的经历。

Become as independent as possible 尽量自立 Even though you work in a big company, you should constantly make small steps to reduce your dependence on your job.

Stop treating life as a competition and do things for their own sake 别把生活当成比赛，做事只是为了自身利益 Genuine interest should be what drives you to improve yourself, rather than a desire to beat others.

Mostly used when referring to people or horses.英文里指的是年纪大，一般指的是人或者一匹马； 来源： This phrase originates from horses, or more specifically, it comes from one’s ability to discern a horse's age simply by looking at their teeth. 这个俚语与马有关。有的人只是看下马的牙齿，就可以判断出马的年龄。The longer the teeth, the older the horse. 牙齿长，年纪大。Thus, this phrase is used to describe how someone or something is long in years.所以这个俚语就用来被描述一个年纪大的人或者事物。While the phrase apparently began with horses, it eventually was applied to describe the age in humans too, among other things.虽然这个词刚开始用来描述马，但是最终也用来指代人或者其他事物； 举例： 1.家里的电脑已经用了50年了，很老了： The desktop was getting long in the tooth. 那个台式机是越来越老了。 2.试衣服时候试穿了一件显老的衣服： Don't you think you're a little long in the tooth for it? 你不觉得你穿这件衣服年龄有点大了吗？

Today we will be learning a new slang, apple polisher. 释义： Apple 苹果 Polisher 磨光者 An apple polisher is something of a liar. He or she will tell the boss anything they want to hear, whether it’s to keep a job or get a raise. Apple Polisher指的是一群善于撒谎的人。他们会出于一些特定的目的，比如说保住一份饭碗或者升值、加薪，来对自己的上司说一些甜言蜜语哄他们开心。说白了，就是马屁精。 来源： This is a saying that first emerged in school, based on the practice of a student bringing a favorite teacher an apple for a treat. When the student polished the apple he gave to the teacher, his fellow students thought, wow, that’s going too far. He’s an “apple polisher.” 这种说法起源于很久以前在美国校园中的一个风俗习惯。学生会送一个苹果给自己心目中最棒的老师，而如果有学生特别别出心裁地将苹果洗干净擦好甚至给它抛光，只为了让苹果看起来更加颜色鲜亮，那么同学们会想，“哎呀，这也太过分了吧，真是个马屁精”。 On the job, the expression came to mean that it was okay to say a boss looked nice in her suit, but another to spend 15 minutes complimenting her in front of a large crowd about her suit. In that case, his fellow workers would smirk and call him an “apple polisher.” 在职场上的举例呢，则是如果真心的夸奖老板的着装是可以理解的。但是专门花上15分钟在众人面前大肆宣扬老板的今日衣着也就过分了。这样的话，同事就会称他为马屁精。 应用举例 You should take much care of him , and hes a real apple polisher. 你要当心他，他可是个马屁精。 Mary is an apple polisher; she can even handle illegal documents for the boss. 玛丽是个马屁精，她甚至可以为老板处理非法文件。

释义： shirt 衬衫，衬衣，字面来看，Keep your shirt on 穿上衬衫的意思； In English, To keep calm. 在英文里，是保持冷静，别激动的意思； If we find ourselves in a heated situation with a person getting riled up, we may try calming the irritated person by using this expression.如果我们发现周围有人发怒或者生气了，我们就可以用keep your shirt on去让他保持冷静； 来源： This phrase may originate from the fact that when people get angry and are looking to fight, they'll sometimes remove their shirt. 这个俚语的来源是这样子，当人们很生气，准备打架的时候，他们就会脱掉自己的衬衣。Why? Because removing one's shirt increases maneuverability；为什么呢，因为脱掉衣服就可以增加灵活性。it allows for further range of motion of the upper body that would otherwise be limited.这样打架时上肢的运动就会更加自如；Therefore, those who were not interested in fighting would advise an angered person to literally keep their shirt on, showing they wanted to settle things through peaceful means rather than through violence.因此，对打架不是很感兴趣的人就会建议打架者穿上衣服，以此暗示他们希望打架者通过和平而不是暴力的形式来解决问题。 举例： 1.你和朋友去赶车，朋友的时间计算错了，很着急，你就可以说： keep your shirt on, we have plenty of time to catch the train. 你别太紧张了，我们还有时间足够赶到火车。 2.这学期没好好学习，考试考了59分，老爸很生气，你说： Dad, keep your shirt on, please!

Dear God,亲爱的上帝： Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them. 如今我已不再年轻，一些朋友的母亲已经去世了。我曾听这些子女们说过，他们从没有向母亲充分表示过他们的感激之情，而待到要告诉时为时已晚了。 I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen. 幸运的是，我亲爱的母亲依然健在。我对她的感情与日俱增。母亲没有变，而我却变了。随着年岁的增长，我越来越懂事了，我认识到她是个非常了不起的人。这些话在她面前我难以启齿，但在笔下却可以轻易地写出来，这令我感到多么难过。 How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes her mother really is? 一个女儿该怎样开口感谢她的母亲所给予的生命？感谢她在抚养孩子时所付出的爱、耐心以及无私的辛勤劳动？感谢她跟在蹒跚学步的孩子身后奔跑，对情绪不定的少女的理解，以及对一个自以为是的大学生的宽容? 感谢她等待女儿认识到她真是一位好母亲的这一天？ How does a grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying: "I told you so", when she could have uttered these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself--loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving? 一个成年女子该怎样感谢母亲依然如故的角色？感谢在被问到时她会及时提供良言，而在不需要时她会保持沉默？感谢她没有说："我告诉过你，"而她本来可以说上许多次？感谢她始终不变的爱心、体贴周到、耐心与宽容厚道? I don't know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine. 我不知道该怎样来表达，亲爱的上帝，除了请求你好好地保佑她－－那是她该得到的－－并帮助我朝她做出的榜样看齐。我祈愿在孩子的眼里，我可以和母亲一样好。 A daughter 一个女儿

It can also mean that a person is feeling sad or depressed. 不舒服； 身体不适 in the old days, when a sailor was feeling seasick, "he was sent down below to help his reocvery, under the deck and away from the weather." 来源是这样子，以前在航海时，当水手晕船时，他就会躲到甲板，这样就远离糟糕的天气，所以用under the weather 来指代心情不好，或感觉不舒服； He cannot come to the class today because he is under the weather. 今天他不能来上课，因为他身体不舒服。 Jessica just got back from her vacation in Florida, but sadly, she returned feeling a bit under the weather because she had a sore throat, a runny nose, and a fever.

If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive thoughts. When we are stressed, depressed, upset, or otherwise in a negative state of mind because we perceive that "bad things" keep happening to us, it is important to shift those negative thoughts to something positive. If we don't, we will only attract more "bad things." 如果你感觉生活对你来说实在是糟糕之极，你可以挑战着想些积极的东西。当我们不堪重负、沮丧、失落，抑或因为我们认为倒霉的事总是光临我们而处于消极状态时，将这些消极的思想转变为积极的至关重要。如果我们不这么做，只会招致更多的霉运。 It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but I can assure you that someone, somewhere is worse off than you. We can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps. 有如此之多消极因素还要想些积极的东西，通常情况下这很难，但我可以保证，在某个地方有人比你情况还糟。我们可以换种方式，一步一步细细思考那些消极的东西。 If you start with one small, positive thing and repeat it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation: positive thoughts, feelings, opportunities and people will start showing up in your life. With practice, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, irregardless of the events around you. 从一件积极的小事情开始，并且一整天就一直重复想着，你将进入一个更加积极的状态：积极的思想、情感、机遇、人们开始装扮你的人生。这样练下去，很快你会发现你将改变你的观点，选择快乐的生活，而不在意周围那些琐事。 Here are a few examples for you to practice. Say them out loud and with feeling! 下面有一些方法供你选择练习。要有感情的把它们大声说出来。 1. Begin and end each day with a "Thank you for this wonderful, glorious day!" 在每一天开始和结束的时候，说一句“感谢这么一个愉快的一天”。 2. When you see the gas prices hiking, say "I am so glad that I am blessed to have a vehicle in which to get around." 燃气价格高涨的时候，说“我很高兴我至少还有着这辆车可以到处兜风。” 3. When you are late for work, say "I am so happy and grateful for my job as I know that many don't have one." 上班迟到时，说“我很幸福并感激我的工作，因为我知道很多人还没有工作。” 4. If you are having health problems, be grateful for what does work: "I really do appreciate my eyes that see, my ears that hear, my mouth that tastes, my legs that walk, my arms that lift, my hands that write, my mind that thinks, my knees that bend and my tongue that talks." The possibilities here are endless: insert what does work for you and feel good about it! 如果你的健康出了问题，对目前所拥有的要心存感激：“我真的感激我的眼睛还能看，我的耳朵还能听，我的嘴还能品味，我的双腿还能行走，我的双臂还能抬起，我的双手还能写字，我还能思考，我的双膝还能弯曲，我还能说话”。这儿有无穷尽的种种可能：珍惜你所拥有的，并善待它们！ 5. Write down what you're grateful for each day. In moments when you're feeling really down, read what you wrote previously. This will help uplift your spirits. If you practice this regularly, you will find that your list will get longer and longer. 记下每天让你感激的事，每当你失落的时候，读一读你曾经写下的心情，这会让你从新振作起来。经常这样练习去，你会发现你所感激的东西越来越多。 The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of blissful peace. The more you practice, the happier you'll be. 转为积极情绪并长久保持着这种状态的关键在于为自己创造幸福、宁静的一刻。练的越多，你就越幸福。

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor. 一群毕业生，各自在事业上都已有所建树，相约一起去看望他们年老的大学教授。 The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some exquisite—telling them to help themselves to the coffee. 谈话一会儿就变成了各自对工作和生活压力的抱怨。在用咖啡招待这些客人时，教授去厨房端来一大壶咖啡，并拿出各式各样的咖啡杯——陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有看上去普通的、有价值不菲的、有做工精细的——让他们自己倒咖啡喝。 When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, 当所有学生手中都端了一杯咖啡后，教授发话了： "If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. " “如果你们注意一下，就会发现所有好看的昂贵的杯子都被挑走了，剩下的只是那些普通的和便宜的。当然，每个人都只想拥有最好的，这很正常，但这也是你们的问题和压力的根源所在。” "Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. " “可以肯定的是，杯子本身与咖啡质量毫无关系。在很多时候，杯子让咖啡更昂贵，某些时候，甚至让我们看不清我们要喝的是什么。” "What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. “其实你们真正想要的是咖啡，而不是杯子，但你们却又都下意识去挑选最好的杯子，并观察别人拿到的杯子。” "Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! Don't let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead." “现在设想一下：如果生活是杯中的咖啡，工作、财富和社会地位就是那些杯子。他们只是维持生活的工具而已，并不改变生活质量。有时候，我们在过于关注杯子的同时却忘记了去品味上帝赐予的咖啡。所以，不要成为杯子的奴隶……好好品味杯中的咖啡。”

to suspect that something is wrong; to sense that someone has caused something wrong. 怀疑事情出错了，或者怀疑某人有问题，我们可以翻译为：哪里不对劲。 例如有人跟你说有一个工作月入十万，工作轻松。这种事你相信吗？当然不，这时你就可以说I smell a rat. 有时候这句话也可以用在比较轻松的场合，比如你看到有一男一女两人常走在一起，言谈之间又似乎十分亲热。你怀疑他们二个人倒底是不是一对，你就可以对你的朋友说I smell a rat. I smelt a rat when he started being so helpful! 他主动帮起忙来，我怀疑其中一定有问题！

New slang： Speak of the devil. someone appears after you mention them. "Speak of the Devil" is short for "Speak of the Devil and he shall come".
