How many pages did you end up with?
你的(报告)最后有几页?
依照大多数人的习惯, 「你的报告最后有几页」这句话通常会把它翻译成, "How many pages did you get finally?" 是不是啊? 但事实上如果是老美来说这句话, 他们会说的是, "How many pages did you end up with?" 也就是说, 当老美提到「最后」这个概念时, 他们通常用的是 end up 这个片语。 所以如果你要说, 「看了那么多的房子之后, 我们最后还是买了湖边的那栋房子」就是, "After seeing so many houses, we ended up buying the one on the lakeside."
所以 End up 也有「最后有什么样结果」的意思, 再举个六人行 (Friends) 里面的例子, 有一次 Monica 问 Rachel 和牙医师约会的结果怎样? 她的回答就是, "We ended up having sex on his chair." (我们结果在他的椅子上发生关系) Monica 听了之后差点没昏倒。 我想大家不难从这几个例子当中发现, 在许多地方用 end up 会比 finally 来得更为恰当。

A: The company wants to renew my contract.
B: That's great. Aren't you glad?
A: Yes, but, unless I can get a 20% raise, I don't think I am interested in renewing it.
B: I'm sure they will give you a 20% raise, at least. You deserve it.
A: 公司要跟我续约。
B: 太好了。你不高兴吗?
A: 高兴,不过除非能加薪20%,否则我没兴趣续约。
B: 我确信他们至少会为你加薪20%。这是你该得的。
重点解说:
1、 renew「续订(契约),换新(执照)」I must renew my
license.「我必须换新执照。」相关用法如: update「更新」Dictionaries constantly need to be
updated.「词典需要经常加以更新。」
2、 deserve「值得的,应得的」The killer deserves hanging.「这个凶手应受绞刑。」

Niedzica Castle rises behind a hydroelectric dam, still
under construction in this photograph, on Poland’s Dunajec River. The castle,
originally built in the 14th century, once overlooked the Dunajec Breach, a
five-mile-long (eight-kilometer-long) gorge flanked by towering rock walls. Now,
it oversees tranquil Czorsztyn Lake, formed when the controversial dam was
completed in 1994.

朝目标勇往直前(Keep Your Goals in Sight)
When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb. She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours.
Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast.
On that Fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath, and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks cruised toward her lone figure, only to be driven away by rifle shots. Against the frigid grip of the sea, she struggled on, hour after hour, while millions watched on national television.
Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn't much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had...until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.
Still thawing her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, "Look, I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it." It was not fatigue or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.
Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing the men's record by two hours!

Could I have this kiss forever 惠特尼
这首《Could I have this kiss forever》堪称20世纪末最动人的男女对唱情歌,由流行天后Whitney Houston和拉丁天王Enrique iglesias联袂献唱。他们的表演激情肆意、默契十足,无不令人心醉神迷。中国英语学习网每日英语频道新年热力推荐《可否永留此吻》。
一代天后Whitney Houston(惠特尼-休斯顿)有许多耳熟能详的作品,像《I Will Always Love You》(《保镖》插曲)、《Saving All My Love For You》、《You Give Good Love》等。而拉丁天王Enrique iglesias(安立圭-伊格里莱斯)最负盛名的歌曲莫过于那首如泣如诉的《Hero》,而充满拉丁舞曲风格的《Don't Turn Off The Light》听后更是让人心潮澎湃。
Could I have this kiss forever
Enrique Iglesias & Whitney Houston
Over and over I look in your eyes
you are all I desire
you have captured me
I want to hold you
I want to be close to you
I never want to let go
I wish that this night would never end
I need to know
Could I hold you for for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you're here by my side
You are next to me
I want to hold you and touch you taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
oh baby please
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
I don't want any night to go by
Without you by my side
I just want all my days
Spent being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby, oh by the way
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
