This girl likes to put on the dog.

这个女孩喜欢摆阔气。wgG中国英语学习网


美国人总是说：狗是人的最好的朋友。许多美国人对家里的狗就好像对待家里的人一样好。有钱人还往往会出几千美元去买一只稀有品种的狗，我们今天要讲的一个俗语就和这种现象有密切关系的：to put on the dog。
To put on the dog就是摆排场给别人看。大概一百多年以前，一些有钱的人往往化很多钱去买一只稀有品种的小狗来显示自己很有钱。一些阔太太们经常在接待客人的时候把一只小狗抱在腿上来眩耀自己的阔气。当时耶鲁大学的学生就创造了to put on the dog这一说法来嘲笑那些暴发户。我们来举一个例子吧：
I had this friend in the army who was the son of one of the richest men in the country. But what I like about him was that he never put on the dog to show off his money.
这句话的中文意思就是：我在部队服役的时候有个朋友，他的爸爸是美国最有钱的人之一。我很喜欢这个朋友，因为他从来也不炫耀自己多么有钱。

First Flight wgG中国英语学习网

Mr. Johnson had never been up in an aerophane before and he had read a lot about air accidents, so one day when a friend offered to take him for a ride in his own small phane, Mr. Johnson was very worried about accepting. Finally, however, his friend persuaded him that it was very safe, and Mr. Johnson boarded the plane.

His friend started the engine and began to taxi onto the runway of the airport. Mr. Johnson had heard that the most dangerous part of a flight were the take-off and the landing, so he was extremely frightened and closed his eyes.

After a minute or two he opened them again, looked out of the window of the plane, and said to his friend, "Look at those people down there. They look as small as ants, don't they?"

"Those are ants," answered his friend. "We're still on the ground."

第一次坐飞机

约翰逊先生从前未乘过飞机，他读过许多关于飞行事故的报道。所以，有一天一位朋友邀请他乘自己的小飞机飞行时，约翰逊先生非常担心，不敢接受。不过，由于朋友不断保证说飞行是很安全的，约翰逊先生终于被说服了，登上了飞机。
他的朋友启动引擎开始在机场跑道上滑行。约翰逊先生听说飞行中最危险的是起飞与降落，所以他吓得紧闭双眼。
过了一两分钟，他睁开双眼朝窗外望去，接着对朋友说道：“看下面那些人，他们看起来就象蚂蚁一样小，是不是？”
“那些就是蚂蚁，”他的朋友答道，“我们还在地面上。”

The Rabbit, the Fox and the Wolf[兔子、狐狸与狼]wgG中国英语学习网

One sunny day a rabbit came out of her hole in the ground to enjoy the fine weather. The day was so nice that she became careless and a fox snuck up behind her and caught her.

"I am going to eat you for lunch!" said the fox.

"Wait!" replied the rabbit.

"Oh yeah? Why should I wait?"

"Well, I am just finishing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'"

"Are you crazy? I should eat you right now! Everybody knows that a fox will always win over a rabbit."

"Not according to my research. If you like, you can come into my hole and read it for yourself."

"You really are crazy!" But since the fox was curious, he went with the rabbit. The fox never came out.

A few days later the rabbit was again taking a break from writing and sure enough, a wolf came out of the bushes and was ready to set upon her.

"Wait!" yelled the rabbit, "you can't eat me right now."

"And why might that be?"

"I am almost finished writing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'

" The wolf laughed: "Maybe I shouldn't eat you; you really are sick ... in the head."

"Come and read it for yourself; you can eat me afterward if you disagree with my conclusions."

So the wolf went down into the rabbit's hole and never came out.

The rabbit finished her thesis and was out celebrating in the local lettuce patch. Another rabbit came along and asked, "What's up? You seem very happy."

"Yup, I just finished my thesis."

"Congratulations. What's it about?"

"'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'"

"Are you sure? That doesn't sound right."

"Oh yes. Come and read it for yourself."

So together they went down into the rabbit's hole. As they entered, the friend saw the typical graduate abode, albeit a rather messy one after writing a thesis. And to the right there was a pile of fox bones, on the left a pile of wolf bones. And in the middle was a large, well-fed lion, who was the rabbit's advisor.

See the day

旋律还未响起，耳边就传来了清澈又略带沙哑的女声吟唱，柔柔地，一点一点地沁入我的心底。细细体会歌中女孩娓娓道来心中的那份情愫与对真爱的执着，我被深深地感染了…… wgG中国英语学习网

“凝视，了解与倾听就是爱情的全部。” 无论爱情带来了快乐还是伤害，我们首先得学会去爱，那就是去付出，去倾听爱人的心，只因为，真爱永远是神圣的。有人说过，你曾经给予的，是你充盈所有的。无论我们在爱情中受到的伤害有多大，爱的本质永远不变。

有些人因为曾在爱中受到伤害，而把自己的心封闭起来，对爱情失去了原有的期望。殊不知，能与曾经的伤害抗衡的，正是爱。爱是治愈心口创伤的一剂良药。只要我们心中有爱，我们就不会在人生路上迷失，而生命正因为有了爱，才变得那般地多姿多彩……



See the day     by Girls Aloud  wgG中国英语学习网

When you look at me
Tell me what you see
“Girls Aloud”女孩乐团被称为英国“最新辣妹”，成为继“Spice Girls”辣妹合唱团之后，英国流行乐坛又一支最璀璨耀眼的女子偶像组合。Do you see no love at all?
Or do you see in me
What you always see
In every girl that you fall for I will show you how love is meant to be
Just watch and learn and listen to me CHORUS
Will you ever see the day
Heartache leads astray
Good love will always come from me
Will you ever learn to love
Without a little doubt
Good love will always come from me When you look away
Is it mean to say
That she haunts you night and day
And does it hurt your heart
When I say let's start
To heal the part that's been torn Don't you see that
I'm really worth a try
And I say to you
I know just what to do CHORUS
Will you ever see the day
Heartache leads astray
Good love will always come from me
Will you ever learn to love
Without a little doubt
Good love will always come from me
