 ::每日一句:: 


Sean, it's fine. You should check this out.

肖恩,这个不错。你应该过来看看。

  固定表达check it out,意思就相当于Take a look。比方你看到一幅画蛮不错的,你就可以说,Hey, Laura, you should check this out! 就是请人家过来看看。
   “Check it out!”这句话在Grocery store(杂货店)的宣传语上也经常可以见到,在这里,Check it out说的是,嘿,把我结帐带回家吧,使用的是check out的另一个意思,结帐。如果说你在结帐时忽然发现你有些东西不想要了,你还可以说Check this off。(本句选自《小笨霖英语笔记本》)

Steve: If I can improve my vertical jump a few more inches, I think beach volleyball might be my ticket.
Todd: But whenever we play, you just sit on the sand, drink beer, and watch the girls!
Steve: It's a beautiful sport, isn't it?
Todd: To be honest, I don't think you could even win a gold in hopscotch!
Steve: OK, OK. Enough already. We'd better hustle. The contest starts in five minutes.

(续上期: -> 查看上期内容

史提:要是我的垂直跳能再高个几吋,我想海滩排球或许就是我的晋身阶了。
托德:可是不管我们何时在打球,你就只是坐在沙滩上喝啤酒,看美眉!
史提:那是个很美的运动,不是吗?
托德:老实说,我觉得你连玩跳房子都拿不到金牌!
史提:好啦……够了。我们最好动作快点。比赛再过五分钟就要开始了。

重点解说:

1、 vertical (a.) 垂直的
2、 inch (n.) 英寸;一英寸等于2.54公分
3、 be one's ticket 让…成功的机会,在此指参加奥运的机会
4、 To be honest 老实说
5、 hopscotch (n.) 在地上画出格子的'跳房子'游戏
6、 hustle (v.) 赶忙
7、 contest (n.) 竞赛

 ::每日一图:: 

“Reclining on a rooftop carved two millennia ago, a Bedouin surveys the realm of the Nabataeans, whose ancient capital beckons from the sands of southern Jordan. Forgotten for centuries, Petra still echoes with mysteries of the past; this immense building, Al Deir (the Monastery), was probably a Nabataean shrine.”

The Art of Action  功夫片岁月- 1

由萨谬尔·杰克逊担任解说的一部介绍武侠电影的记录片,由哥伦比亚公司花了大力气制作而成。从片中你可以知道武侠电影的起源,各阶段武侠电影的特点和代表作及代表人物,片中采访了多名著名导演、制片、演员……特别提供了早期一些武侠片的珍贵影像,相信可以让 武侠电影爱好者愉快的度过一个半小时

This is a story of how the martial arts film genre was born in a bloody rebellion and transformed itself into a spiritual and creative revolution.

A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and to accept the consequences of his own doing.

What is the highest technique you hope to achieve?

To have no technique.

What are your thoughts when facing an opponent?

There is no opponent.

And why is that?

Because the word "I" does not exist.

A good fight should be like a small play but played seriously.

When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself.

Martial arts films have a Chinese expression--Wu Xia(武侠). Wu means martial arts, which signifies action. Xia conveys chivalry. Wu Xia expresses the great dichotomy that martial arts is--deeply spiritual yet potentially deadly.

In the best of martial arts films, the themes are profoundly noble and yet filled with breathtaking action. It is this combination infused with romance and humor that has made this genre one of the most popular in the world. It is enjoying both box office and critical success.
