It's Me All Right JPu中国英语学习网

A pretty young lady went to cash a check at a bank. The teller examined it, then asked, "Can you identify yourself? Looking puzzled, the girl dipped into her handbag and pulled out a small mirror. She glanced into it for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, it's me all right."


中文:

就是我

一位年轻漂亮的女士到银行取钱。出纳员在检查了她的存折后问道:“您能证明您的身份吗?” 这个女孩听了这话以后看上去很迷惑,随后她从手提包里拿出一个小镜子。她对着镜子照了一会儿,笑了:“对呀, 这就是我。"

 ::每日一图:: 

Memory-haunted arena of the ancients, Rome’s 1,900-year-old Colosseum saw bloody gladiatorial duels, battles with wild beasts, and mock naval engagements on its flooded floor. Christians banned the spectacles, and in later centuries presented church dramas here. Time, earthquakes, and stone scavengers took their toll. Still, the treasured monument survived and again serves Rome—as a traffic circle. Cars at evening rush hour create streaks of light in this time exposure, which also captures horse-drawn carriages waiting at curbside for tourists.

Enchantment Under the Sea[美丽的海底世界]JPu中国英语学习网

It's the largest living organism on Earth -- the only underwater creation big enough to be seen from outer space. You'd be crazy to miss the Great Barrier Reef.

The first morning I'm awakened by birds -- flocks of Hitchcockian proportions. But the air is filled not with threatening sea gulls but with hundreds of red, purple, blue and yellow parakeets and lorikeets, which are basically giant parakeets but more brilliantly plumed.

After daylight, we board a 400-passenger catamaran for the one-and-a-half-hour sail to Agincourt Reef, part of the Great Barrier Reef. There we board a motorboat with just three other passengers and a marine biologist. We head farther out to sea, to the very edge of the continental shelf.

With snorkel gear, including a thin nylon suit that protects from stinging jellyfish, we explore a different world beneath the sea. The numerous parrotfish we see increase their odds of living through a nap by excreting a mucus casing, like a sleeping bag, that disguises their fish smell. We see fish harems led by one male, and if the male dies or abandons the school, one of the females will replace him by turning into a male.

The Great Barrier Reef is home to 1,500 species of fish and 400 types of coral. I'll say no more about it -- you simply have to add it to your list.

What if she's an angel

你可能对喧嚣、嘈杂的都市生活有些厌倦,你希望让自己躁动的心平静下来,你不解为什么这个世界并不象曾经想象的那样美好,那么你可以感受一下Tommy Shane Steiner(汤米·谢恩·斯戴纳)真诚的述说。也许,这里正是你能够休憩的角落,能够令你释然的世界……

歌词:

What if she's an angel  by    Tommy Shane Steiner

There's a man standing on the corner
With a sign sayin "will work for food"
You know the man
You see him every morning
The one you never give your money to
You can sit there with your window rolled up
Wondering when the lights going to turn green
Never knowing what a couple more bucks
In his pocket might mean

What if he's an angel sent here from Heaven
And he's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother, are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in his face
Knowing deep down it could have been his saving grace
What if he's an angel

There's a man
There's a woman
Living right above you in apartment G
There's a lot of noise coming through the ceiling
And it don't sound like harmony
You can sit there with your TV turned up
While the words and his anger fly
Come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on
Can you look her in the eye

What if she's an angel sent here from heaven
And she's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother, are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
What if she's an angel

A little girl on daddy's lap
Hiding her disease with a baseball cap
You can turn the channel
Most people do
But what if you were sitting in her daddy's shoes

Maybe she's an angel
Sent here from Heaven
And she's making certain you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother,are you going to pass that test?
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
What if she's an angel
