This food is terrible. I'm not going to eat it.
这食物真是糟透了。我才不要吃。



My mom is angry with me because I failed my math exam.
我老妈很气我,因为我数学不及格。

 
 ::每日一句:: 


The cops are after me.

警察在追我。

"The cops are after me" 这句话看来似乎只是单纯地指警察在我后面, 但这个 after 在这里也可以解释成 running after 的意思。 意思就是有人在后面追我。 例如电影上常看到罪犯跑回老窝之后就急忙地说, "They are after me"。 也就是说有人在追我啦! 当然追你的对象不限于人, 记得我的一个老美朋友有一次跟我讲到他的冲浪经验。 他说, "A shark was after me" (一只鲨鱼在追我), 听来真是乱恐布的。

 
 ::每日对话:: 

 <点击收听>

A: I got a raise.
B: Good for you!
A: Thank you.
B: Now you can move to a better apartment.
A: That's exactly what my wife wants to do.

A: 我加薪了。
B: 太好了!
A: 谢谢你。
B: 现在你可以搬到好一点的公寓去了。
A: 那正是我太太所期盼的。

重点解说:

1、 get是用于表达「得到,获得」之意的最普通用语,非常实用,例如
I got a job.「我找到一份工作了。」
I got promotion.「我获得升迁了。」
I got a letter this morning.「今早我收到一封信。」

2、 「加薪」一词的名词用法有许多种,如a raise, a rise, a pay hike, a pay [wage] raise, a pay [salary] increase等均是。

 
 
 ::每日一译:: 

1. 择友的时候再小心也不为过。

2. 首先,他们只有一种记下讯息的方式。

3. 约翰像他的爸爸。

昨日参考:

1.She shook hands with him.
注:shook hands with.

2.You should stick to your principles.
注:stick to 坚守,,坚持..

3.No attention was paid to his comments.
注: be pay to....

 ::每日一图:: 

A boy’s silhouetted figure walks along a pier as volcanic mountains rise against a mauve-colored sky in St. Anne, Martinique. A French overseas department, this 425-square-mile (1,100-square-kilometer) Caribbean island boasts ruggedly beautiful landscapes and a legacy of Carib indigenous warriors so fierce that 16th-century Spanish conquistadores decided against trying to colonize it.

哈利波特最后结局为何?(Harry Potter and the final chapter)


J.K. Rowling is officially back at work, writing the seventh (and final) Harry Potter book. That's the good news. The bad news is that it will be at least 2007 before "Harry Potter and the Whatever, Whatever, Whatever" is published.

In the meantime, are you re-reading the first six books, searching for clues about what might happen in Book 7? You're not alone. At any given time, thousands of Muggles are scouring mugglenet.com for clues, joining message boards at the-leaky-cauldron.com or finding hope amid their grief at dumbledoreisnotdead.com.

Part of what made "Half-Blood Prince" so riveting is that it answered so many questions and raised so many others. Here, we'll look at some of the most interesting issues left for Book 7.

★ Will the secret of Harry's scar be revealed? Some speculate that Harry's scar is actually a horcrux, created when Lord Voldemort killed James and Lily Potter, although this is disputed on the Internet. There can be little doubt, however, that the scar that started it all will play a key role as Harry's story wraps up. After all, it's in the first chapter of "Sorcerer's Stone" that Professor Dumbledore says "scars can come in useful." And Rowling has said that the last word of the last book will be "scar."

★ Does Harry die? That's the only question that really matters, isn't it? Remember in "Goblet of Fire" that Dumbledore gets a "gleam of something like triumph" in his eyes when Harry tells him that Voldemort used a drop of Harry's blood to revive himself. Rowling calls the gleam "extremely significant." Perhaps, like his scar, giving blood to Voldemort somehow protects Harry. Who knows? Well, J.K. Rowling does. The rest of us will just have to wait and wonder.

Woman In Love  S. H. E 

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place 
I kiss the morning goodbye
But down inside you know we never know why

The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes 
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within 
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do ? With you eternally mine 
In love there is no measure of time
They planned it all at the start
That you and I live in each others heart  We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say 
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything 
To get you into my world
And hold you within 
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do ?
