 ::每日一句:: 


The press give the new film the thumbs down.

报纸对这部新电影评价很低 。

  观看角斗士在竞技场生死拼杀是古罗马的娱乐项目之一。比武结束后,由观众裁判如何处置被击败的角斗士。如果观众的大拇指向上(thumbs up)就释放失败者;如果观众拇指向下(thumbs down)就处死失败者。如今,人们用thumbs up表示赞成,用thumbs down表示反对。

例句:The government's plan has got the thumbs up from the public.
政府的计划得到了公众的赞许。

 
 ::每日对话::

A: Jack Lewis is coming tomorrow.
B: Really? I'd better take a day off then.
A: Why?
B: Because he's the last person I want to see. I just can't get along with him.

A: 杰克路易斯明天要来。
B: 真的吗?那我最好请一天假。
A: 为什么?
B: 因为他是我最不想见的人。我跟他就是处不来。

重点解说:

1、 由于had better (do)含有命令或忠告之意,当对象为长辈或不很熟的人时,不要以you做句子的主词,可以采取It would be better for you to (do)...的说法。Had better (do)的否定用法为had better not (do)。

2、 take ~ day(s) off「请~天假,休~天假」

3、 the last ~「最不愿意[可能]~的」此语用于强调极不愿意做某事,或某事极不可能发生或成真。the last person I want to see「最不想见的人」,这样的"the last ~"带有将之排除在自己的选择范围之外的味道,例如Karaoke bar is the last place she would go to.「卡拉OK酒吧是她最不想上的地方。」

4、 get along (well) with ~「 跟~处得来」,其相处的对象既可是人也可是物,如I can't get along well with this computer.「这台计算机我用得不太顺手。」

 ::每日一图:: 

Pinnacle Rock looms under a brooding sky off the Galápagos’ Bartolome Island. The island’s most famous feature (it even got airtime in the movie, Master and Commander ) is actually an eroded lava formation called a tuff cone. When hot lava from a now-extinct volcano on land reached the sea, the temperature difference caused explosions, producing thousands of thin layers of basalt ash that eventually formed into this towering monument.

永远的作曲大师-莫扎特 Mozart

奥地利作曲家莫扎特是古典乐派最典型作曲家,与海顿、贝多芬并称为维也纳古典乐派三大作曲家……

My son was hailed by all of Vienna not only as a great pianist, but as one of the greatest and most controversial composers of his time. But I saw it first. I nurtured that talent in him. I had helped him become what he now was.

On a stormy evening in February 1785, the elite of Vienna gathered to hear a new work from Austria's leading virtuoso pianist - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The importance of what lay within this masterpiece was known to only one man - Leopold Mozart, the composer's estranged father.

I believe Mozart is the greatest composer of all time. The popular view was that he was born a genius straight from his mother's womb. But in my opinion, his brilliance grew and developed from the loves and losses during his brief 35 years. Life was the driving force of his genius.

In this series I want to discover, helped by the true accounts of those who knew him firsthand and following his footsteps, how Mozart's own suffering and joy created music so powerful that it captivates the listeners today just as it did that first audience more than two hundred years ago.

Breathe Again 斗鱼插曲 小燕子之歌

Breathe Again 斗鱼插曲 小燕子之歌  一个是街头浪子,一个是纯洁少女。两个世界的人,可以是朋友、可以是仇人、可以错身而过,但是如果他们相爱了,结局只有走上灭绝的命运。就像飞鸟恋上鱼,拼了命想厮守一起,但却是害了对方,毁了自己。

  
这首有名的“小燕子之歌”是热门偶像剧《斗鱼》的插曲,演唱者是Juwita Suwito,一位在马来西亚发展的制作人,有着印尼和新加坡血统。柔和的曲风却赋予了更深的含义:义无反顾的爱情除了叫人心动,也让人心碎,只是这一切总要在生命的青春燃烧殆尽之后,才能明白。

Have you wondered how it feels when it's all over
Wondered how it feels when you just have to start a new
Never knowing where you're going
When you face a brand new day
It used to be that way
Now I just close my eyes and say

I just want to breathe again
Learn to face the joy and pain
Discover how to laugh a little, cry a little, live a little more
I just wanna face today
Forget about the woes of yesterday
Maybe if hope a little, try a little more
I'll breathe again

Starting out again is never easy
Disappointments come and go but life still moves on
With a bit of luck
It's a brand new start
That might just work my way
No need to walk away
Don't want to live on life replay

Things will work out fine
If you can fine the courage to look past the night
To see the break of dawn
