 ::每日一句:: 


He made a speech at the commencement.xRg中国英语学习网

他在毕业典礼上作了一次演讲。
xRg中国英语学习网

commencement,本指开始,因为毕业就相当于又一个开端,所以commencement在美国英语中也可表示毕业典礼,相当于graduation ceremony。当然,这个句子也可以说成,He made a speech at the graduation ceremony. xRg中国英语学习网

In the living room, 7:40 P.M. xRg中国英语学习网

Dad: Well, I guess that's a good reason to go to bed early. Our neighborly Ned was boring me anyway.xRg中国英语学习网

xRg中国英语学习网
晚上七点四十分,在客厅xRg中国英语学习网
爸爸:真可恶。我本来还以为‘下集待续’已经够讨厌了。我会挂念赖瑞的!xRg中国英语学习网
妈妈:看来似乎整区都停电了。xRg中国英语学习网
爸爸:嗯,我想停电是早点上床睡觉的好理由。反正我们的好邻居奈德也让我觉得挺无聊的。xRg中国英语学习网
妈妈:这可以是共享天伦之乐的好机会。xRg中国英语学习网
爸爸:好吧。那我们该做什么呢?xRg中国英语学习网
妈妈:我们可以玩比手划脚……孩子们稍微长大后,我们就没玩过了。xRg中国英语学习网
xRg中国英语学习网
xRg中国英语学习网
xRg中国英语学习网
重点解说:xRg中国英语学习网

1、 annoying (a.) 恼人的,讨厌的xRg中国英语学习网
2、 miss (v.) 想念。爸爸说这句话是因为停电害他没看完Larry King的节目,这比‘下集待续’更让人心烦 xRg中国英语学习网
3、 block (n.) (四面围有街道的)街区xRg中国英语学习网
4、 neighborly (a.) 像好邻居的,亲切的。这里爸爸是在讽刺邻居Ned ‘太过善尽邻居的职责’,亲切得让人觉得无聊xRg中国英语学习网
5、 quality (a.) 优质的。quality (family) time是指‘家庭共享天伦的时光’xRg中国英语学习网
6、 charade (n.) (游戏)比手划脚,常用复数charades表示xRg中国英语学习网

The Genius of Photography 摄影演义后传- 16 xRg中国英语学习网

In the course of our 170 year relationship, photography has delighted us, served us, moved us, outraged us and occasionally disappointed us. But mainly, it has intrigued us by showing the secret strangeness that lies beneath the world of appearances. And that is photography's true genius. xRg中国英语学习网

When he saw this work, Evans put aside his hand-held camera and began working like Atget with an old-fashioned, large format view camera. It’s slowed him down, but made him look more closely.xRg中国英语学习网

 xRg中国英语学习网

“If we try to understand what Walker Evans took from Atget, it would have been an understanding of how the object to things people make, how those things are immensely evocative of the lives of the people to whom they are attached. All the way through Atget, every tablecloth, every pillow, every pair of shoes, is its owner. And Evans saw this, and extended it directly into his own work.”xRg中国英语学习网

 xRg中国英语学习网

In 1935, Evans along with a number of other leading photographers was commissioned to produce propaganda images for the Farm Securities Agency, set up to ease the effects of the Depression in rural America. xRg中国英语学习网

 xRg中国英语学习网

“Since these photographs were taken at the behest of the government in order to support government relief efforts, there's an obvious strategy involved to portray the government in a very positive light. Not only the government, more important than the government were the recipients of relief. So the most famous examples occur with the idealization of the dust bowl---ur refugees, for example, in the photography of Dorothea Lange, in which in the 6 photographs in series, she precedes to reduce the size of the family, which is identified, you know captions are 7 people down to 3 young children, one of whom is an infant. And thereby the family suddenly conforms to middle class standards on family size.” xRg中国英语学习网

 xRg中国英语学习网

One of Evans' classic images shows the gulf that separated him from mainstream FSA photography. xRg中国英语学习网

 xRg中国英语学习网

“The great documentary portrait by Walker Evans in the 1930s is the one of Allie Mae Burroughs, a sharecropper's wife in Alabama in 1936. And she showed against the weather-boarded house that she lived in, and she, her face’s as weathered as the wood. You can see that her eyes are screwed up against fairly fierce sudden light. And it's, the same, sort of fierceness of the camera lens. There’s no Vaseline involved, and no muslin. It's just sheer direct fact.”xRg中国英语学习网

 xRg中国英语学习网

Vocabulary:xRg中国英语学习网

 xRg中国英语学习网

large format: Large format describes large photographic films, large cameras, view camera (including pinhole cameras) and processes that use a film or digital sensor, generally 4 x 5 inches or larger.xRg中国英语学习网

at the behest of: because someone has asked for something or ordered something to happenxRg中国英语学习网

The committee was set up at the behest of the president.xRg中国英语学习网

dust bowl: The Dust Bowl, or the dirty thirties, was a period of severe dust storms causing major ecological and agricultural damage to American and Canadian prairie lands from 1930 to 1936 (in some areas until 1940), caused by severe drought coupled with decades of extensive farming without crop rotation or other techniques to prevent erosion.xRg中国英语学习网

muslin: Muslin is a type of finely-woven cotton fabric, introduced to xRg中国英语学习网

Europe from the Middle East in the 17th century.xRg中国英语学习网

Sleep & 慵懒的恬静

看完《穿着Prada的恶魔》xRg中国英语学习网
惊艳于女主角的美丽xRg中国英语学习网
无奈于她的选择xRg中国英语学习网
也许人都无意去伤害别人xRg中国英语学习网
但是却在选择中无可奈何

工作后大抵如此xRg中国英语学习网
毕业了都觉得不会有真正的友谊xRg中国英语学习网
因为有利益挡在那份单薄的友谊前面xRg中国英语学习网

有些庆幸xRg中国英语学习网
我还能暂时拥有这样的情谊xRg中国英语学习网
虽然不知道哪一天xRg中国英语学习网
也会遭遇到这样的无奈xRg中国英语学习网
听着这样的歌 没来由的开始感伤xRg中国英语学习网

……xRg中国英语学习网
xRg中国英语学习网

电影《TheEvilWearsPrada》的插曲---Sleep....xRg中国英语学习网
心事重重的女主角漫无目的地游走在喧嚣的街上,在逃避和继续的边缘徘徊不定。然后就是这首旋律缓缓升起,合拢过来,宁静的忧伤密不透风。《Sleep》静谧的曲名,一如旋律。但不是无牵无挂的酣眠,而是有着太多的隐忍和克制的无眠。xRg中国英语学习网
Ican'tsleep..Ican'tsleep..Ican'tspeaktoyou..xRg中国英语学习网
AndsoI'mreachingoutfortheonexRg中国英语学习网
AndsoI'velearnedthemeaningofthesunxRg中国英语学习网
幽灵般的女声,初听无比怨抑。然而越是久听,越是捉摸不住歌者的心情。xRg中国英语学习网
一切似乎是在平静的讲述,然后一杯酒将寂寞与失落饮尽。xRg中国英语学习网
可是,可是你知道,越是强烈地自我暗示,越是显得欲罢不能。xRg中国英语学习网
HoldmywineholditinxRg中国英语学习网
Nobody'slostbutnobodywinsxRg中国英语学习网
借酒浇愁么,似乎是太老套的做法。xRg中国英语学习网
老套却也无妨,人世间的感情有几个能鹤立鸡群。xRg中国英语学习网
唯独通红眼球背后闪动的那一点小伎俩,狡黠而凄惨。xRg中国英语学习网
一场没有胜利者的宣判。xRg中国英语学习网
伤者自伤,快者自快。xRg中国英语学习网

【剧情简介】xRg中国英语学习网

刚刚离开校园即将投身社会及工作的乡下姑娘安德丽娅·桑切丝(安妮·海瑟薇)幸运地得到了世上似乎所有女孩都梦寐以求的机会--在大城市纽约最出名时尚杂志《Runway》的主编米兰达·普雷斯丽(梅利尔·斯特里普)手下担任助理工作。如果助理工作做得好,安德丽娅将能留在这本整天与“Prada、Armani、Versace” 等世界著名服装设计师打交道的高贵杂志中担任羡煞旁人的编辑工作。当然,最重要的前提是她该如何能服侍好挑剔的主编米兰达,并获得她的最终肯定。身为著名时尚杂志的高级管理人,米兰达自身就有着高贵时尚、举止优雅的特点。这些无不令她手下的众人艳羡并敬畏不已。然而她这一看上去美好的一面却只对外人展示。在杂志社内部,米兰达绝对称得上是个不折不扣的“女魔头”。安德丽娅落在她手里堪称饱受折磨:首先,这位不时尚的姑娘每天早晨要应对米兰达的各种只说一遍的指令,并在每天第一时间给米兰达冲泡一杯香浓的咖啡,迟一秒钟都会被骂得狗血淋头;每天下班后还要接到工作狂米拉达打来的电话,应付她各种突如其来的工作和生活上的问题。当时,一心想得到米兰达肯定的安德丽娅虽有怨言但也任劳任怨。但是,在形式渐渐有所好转的情况下,她却突然发现,自己一直梦寐以求的工作原来并不如想象中的那么美好。倘若自己真的留在这家如地狱般的杂志社,有一天很可能会精神崩溃。这一刻,安德丽娅要作出如何的选择?xRg中国英语学习网

【歌手介绍】xRg中国英语学习网

Azure Ray是由Maria Taylor和Orenda Fink 两个女生所组成的 她们15岁时於阿拉巴马州的艺术学校相识, Maria(左)主修芭蕾 ,Orenda(右)主修戏剧,因为对音乐相当热爱毕业後便加入一个叫Little Red Rocket的乐团,但後来乐团解散 於是她们就以Azure Ray这个团名来发表作品。 Azure Ray与Burn and Shiver这两张专辑是在Warm Records发行, November EP与Hold on Love这两张是在Saddle Creek Records发行,她们也曾经参与一些别人的制作,像是跟Moby、Bright Eyes合作等等。Moby在新专辑《18》里不断蔓延的抑郁症大概与这两个来自美国佐治亚州的女孩有关。有着Red House Painters一般的凄清孤寂,如同Low一样的低调和缓慢,像Mazzy Star那样漠然但却更媚惑的唱腔。然而在对于忧伤情调的沉溺之中,你偶尔也会发现Azure Ray身体里潜伏的双面幽灵:一点点喇叭,贝司和弦乐以及英式流行曲的旋律,让吉他噪音缺席的“How You Remember”也流淌出Slowdive的迷幻意境。而最后那首温暖轻快的民谣Rest Your Eyes则将你的无端忧郁悄悄收藏,重新封存回这张可以留给明天去倾听的唱片之中。xRg中国英语学习网
