Our teacher threw us a curve in the lecture
老师的讲座真是难住我们了。

美国人在打棒球时经常喜欢发曲线球，使球的方向会发生突变，这样给对方造成错觉，不能回击那个球。这和其他球类运动，如排球、乒乓球或网球，在发球时发转球的作用也很相似。逐渐地，这种让对方产生错觉，因而无法应付的球艺变成了日常用语：to
throw a curve。
Curve就是曲线的意思。To throw a curve就是在打棒球时发曲线球。但是作为俗语，它的意思是给别人造成错觉，让他难以应付。请听一个刚刚考完历史的学生在埋怨他的教授：
Professor Green certainly threw us a curve today. Half the questions were from parts of the book he told us to read but he never covered them in class. Of course, most of us didn't bother to read the stuff, so we really got caught.
格林教授今天可真是把我们难住了。考题的一半是他要我们看的那本书里的内容，可是他从来也没有在课堂上讲过。我们大多数人也都没有花时间去看，所以我们发现无法应付考题了。

Creative AME中国英语学习网
Applying for my first job, I realized I had to be creative in listing my few
qualifications. Asked about additional schooling and training, I answered
truthfully that I had spent three years in computer programming classes. I got
the job.
I had neglected to mention that I took the same course for three years before I passed.

创造性
第一次求职时，我意识到在列举我所具备的为数不多的条件时，得有点创造性。当问及我是否受过其它的培训时，我老实地回答说我花了三年时间学计算机程序设计课。我得到了那份工作。
我没有提到那门功课我重复学了三年才考及格。

A motoball player kicks the ball over a field in Neryungri. Combining cycling, soccer, and polo, motoball features two teams of five players trying to push a 16-inch (40-centimeter) ball through the other's goal. Originating in France in the late 1920s, the sport caught on during the 1960s in the Soviet Union.

愚人村的智者(The wise men of Gotham)
AME中国英语学习网
John Bog and Thomas Bick of Gotham were neighbors, but not friends. One day when Thomas was returning home from Nottingham market he met John on Nottingham bridge and called out roughly, "Where are you going?"
"I am going to Nottingham to buy sheep," said John.
"Buy sheep!" said Thomas, "and which way will you bring them home?"
"Oh," responded John, "I will bring them over this bridge."
"No you won't," said Thomas. "I'm going to stay here and stop you."
Each man carried a stout cane, and as they talked they swung their canes in the air and thumped them on the ground.
"If you act like that," said John, "you'll make my sheep jump off the bridge into the water and they'll drown."
"Let them drown," said Thomas." I don't care. You can take them home some other way."
"I shall not!" said John, "I shall bring them across this bridge."
"You'll get a rap on your head with my cane if you do," said Thomas.
While they were quarrelling another man of Gotham came from the market. The man was leading a horse with a bag of meal on its back. He stopped on the bridge and listened to his two neighbors. "How is this?" said he, "you're ready to come to blows over some sheep; but I see not a single sheep for you to fight about."
"No," explained the other two, "they're not bought yet."
"Ah, foolish men!" said the newcomer. "Where is your common sense? I'll show you what I think of you."
He took the bag of meal from his horse's back, went to the side of the bridge, untied the mouth of the bag and shook all the meal out into the river. "Now, neighbors," said he, "how much meal is there in my bag?"
"Why, surely," replied they, "there is none at all."
"Quite right!" said he, "and just as much sense is there in your two heads to get so angry about a thing you do not have."
So the three men went their ways, and each thought himself the smartest of the three. |

Everytime We Touch触摸 Cascada
 《Everytime We Touch》作为舞曲由三人舞曲组合Cascada翻唱，原唱为Maggie Reilly，2006年初在Billboard的排行榜上一路窜升，成绩斐然！这支动感的劲歌让人听了以后不禁跃跃欲试，也想疯狂一把。中国英语学习网每日英语频道推荐。
Cascada的成员有三位，幕后工作者DJ/制作人Yanou和DJ Manian，抛头露面的，我们经常看见的则是Natalie Horler。Cascada曾经的名字Cascade，因为曾经有过 Cascade 这样一支组合而被迫改名。除了《Everytime We Touch》外，Cascada为人熟知的作品还有《Miracle》《Bad Boy》《How Do You Do》。2006年2月21日，首张专辑《Everytime We Touch》发行。（有30分钟的缓冲，耐心！）
Everytime We Touch Cascada
I still hear your voice, When you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch, in my dream
Forgive me my weakness, But I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive
(chorus)
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss, I swear I can fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat slow , I can't let you go
Want you in my life.
Your arms are my castle, Your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry
Oohh... the good and the bad times
We've been through them all
You make me rise when I fall..
(chorus)
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss, I swear I can fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static,
Every time we kiss, I reach for the sky,
Can't you hear my heart beat slow , I can't let you go,
Want you in my life
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
every time we kiss, I swear I can fly,
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last,
Need you by my side.
