Joke of Today

Expert on parenting

    On a flight to Florida, I was preparing my notes for one of the parent-education seminars I conduct as an educational psychologist.

    The elderly woman sitting next to me explained that she was returning to Miami after having spent two weeks visiting her six children, 18 grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren in Boston.

    Then she inquired what I did for a living.

    I told her, fully expecting her to question me for free professional advice.

    Instead she sat back, picked up a magazine and said, "If there's anything you want to know, just ask me."

【欧美金曲】Wonderful tonight

news — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:00:16 +0800

【歌曲介绍】：Wonderful tonight这首歌曲是吉他之神Eric Clapton最好的吉他小品之一，那一年，他32岁，而立已过，恰娶娇妻，赋歌一首。这首歌以相当朴实的歌词描绘了他和自己的妻子一同参加一个聚会的经过，从离家，晚会上到回家共分3个部分。伴随着简单的伴奏，Eric Clapton用沧桑真挚的声音向世人告白他对妻子的丝丝柔情。

    【歌词】：
    It's late in the evening
    she's wondering what clothes to wear
    she puts on her make up
    and brushes her long blonde hair
    and then she asks me
    Do I look all right
    and I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

    We go to a party
    and everyone turns to see
    this beautiful lady
    that's walking around with me
    and then she asks me
    do you feel all right
    and I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

    I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes
    and the wonder of it all
    is that you just don't realize
    how much I love you

    It's time to go home now
    and I've got an aching head
    so I give her the car keys
    and she helps me to bed
    and then I tell her
    as I turn off the light
    I said: "my darling, you were wonderful tonight"
    "oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

【备注】：1、make up化妆
2、brushes her long blonde hair梳理她长长的金发

【歌手介绍】：Eric Clapton，生于1945年3月30日，英国吉他手、歌手和作曲家。他曾经获得过葛莱美奖，是20世纪最成功的音乐家之一，在摇滚名人堂里有三项成就。他是有史以来最伟大的吉他手之一，2003年在滚石杂志评选的一百大吉他手位列第四，在百大摇滚艺术家里面排名53位。

Joke of Today

What day is today?

    Over breakfast one morning, a woman said to her husband, "I bet you don't know what day this is."

    "Of course I do," he answered as if he was offended, and left for the office.

    At 10:00 a.m., the doorbell rang and when the woman opened the door, she was handed a box of a dozen long stemmed red roses. At 1:00 p.m., a foil-wrapped, two-pound box of her favorite chocolates was delivered. Later, a boutique delivered a designer dress.

    The woman couldn't wait for her husband to come home.

    "First the flowers, then the chocolates and then the dress!" she exclaimed.

    "I've never had a more wonderful Groundhog Day in my life!

注：Groundhog Day是美国传统的土拨鼠日（每年的2月2日），在这一天，冬眠的土拨鼠要醒过来，从洞里出来预测春天。一般来说，土拨鼠要看自己的影子，如果看到影子了，就回洞里接着睡大觉去，因为春天还要再等6个星期才能到来，如果土拨鼠看不到自己的影子，就说明春天就要到了。按照传统的说法，如果2月2日阳光灿烂，那么以后6个星期天气会很糟糕，冬天还将延续。如果这一天天气不好，那么土拨鼠就看不到自己的影子，就说明春天到了。

【美文欣赏】一条双人毛毯

    The Blanket

    By Floyd Dell

    Petey hadn’t really believed that Dad would be doing It — sending Granddad away. “Away” was what they were calling it.Not until now could he believe it of his father.

    But here was the blanket that Dad had bought for Granddad, and in the morning he’d be going away. This was the last evening they’d be having together. Dad was off seeing that girl he was to marry. He would not be back till late, so Petey and Granddad could sit up and talk.

    It was a fine September night, with a silver moon riding high. They washed up the supper dishes and then took their chairs out onto the porch. “I’ll get my fiddle,” said the old man, “and play you some of the old tunes.”

    But instead of the fiddle he brought out the blanket. It was a big double blanket, red with black stripes.

    “Now, isn’t that a fine blanket!” said the old man, smoothing it over his knees. “And isn’t your father a kind man to be giving the old fellow a blanket like that to go away with? It cost something, it did—look at the wool of it! There’ll be few blankets there the equal of this one!”

    It was like Granddad to be saying that. He was trying to make it easier. He had pretended all along that he wanted to go away to the great brick building—the government place. There he’d be with so many other old fellows, having the best of everything. . . . But Petey hadn’t believed Dad would really do it, not until this night when he brought home the blanket.

    “Oh, yes, it’s a fine blanket,” said Petey. He got up and went into the house. He wasn’t the kind to cry and, besides, he was too old for that. He’d just gone in to fetch Granddad’s fiddle.

    The blanket slid to the floor as the old man took the fiddle and stood up. He tuned up for a minute, and then said, “This is one you’ll like to remember.”

    Petey sat and looked out over the gully. Dad would marry that girl. Yes, that girl who had kissed Petey and fussed over him, saying she’d try to be a good mother to him, and all. . . .

    The tune stopped suddenly. Granddad said, “It’s a fine girl your father’s going to marry. He’ll be feeling young again with a pretty wife like that. And what would an old fellow like me be doing around their house, getting in the way? An old nuisance, what with my talks of aches and pains. It’s best that I go away, like I’m doing. One more tune or two, and then we’ll be going to sleep. I’ll pack up my blanket in the morning.”

    They didn’t hear the two people coming down the path. Dad had one arm around the girl, whose bright face was like a doll’s. But they heard her when she laughed, right close by the porch. Dad didn’t say anything, but the girl came forward and spoke to Granddad prettily: “I won’t be here when you leave in the morning, so I came over to say good-bye.”

    “It’s kind of you,” said Granddad, with his eyes cast down. Then, seeing the blanket at his feet, he stooped to pick it up. “And will you look at this,” he said. “The fine blanket my son has given me to go away with.”

    “Yes,” she said. “It’s a fine blanket.” She felt the wool and repeated in surprise, “A fine blanket—I’ll say it is!” She turned to Dad and said to him coldly, “That blanket really cost something.”

    Dad cleared his throat and said, “I wanted him to have the best. . . .”

    “It’s double, too,” she said, as if accusing Dad.

    “Yes,” said Granddad, “it’s double—a fine blanket for an old fellow to be going away with.”

    17 The boy went suddenly into the house. He was looking for something. He could hear that girl scolding Dad. She realized how much of Dad’s money—her money, really—had gone for the blanket. Dad became angry in his slow way. And now she was suddenly going away in a huff. . . .

    As Petey came out, she turned and called back, “All the same, he doesn’t need a double blanket!” And she ran off up the path.

    Dad was looking after her as if he wasn’t sure what he ought to do.

    “Oh, she’s right,” Petey said. “Here, Dad”—and he held out a pair of scissors. “Cut the blanket in two.”

    Both of them stared at the boy, startled. “Cut it in two, I tell you, Dad!” he cried out. “And keep the other half.”

    “That’s not a bad idea,” said Granddad gently. “I don’t need so much of a blanket.”

    “Yes,” the boy said harshly, “a single blanket’s enough for an old man when he’s sent away. We’ll save the other half, Dad. It’ll come in handy later.”

    “Now what do you mean by that?” asked Dad.

    “I mean,” said the boy slowly, “that I’ll give it to you, Dad— when you’re old and I’m sending you—away.”

    There was a silence. Then Dad went over to Granddad and stood before him, not speaking. But Granddad understood. He put out a hand and laid it on Dad’s shoulder. And he heard Granddad whisper, “It’s all right, son. I knew you didn’t mean it. . . .” And then Petey cried.

    But it didn’t matter—because they were all crying together.

    一床双人毛毯

    （美）弗罗伊德•戴尔

    晴朗的九月的夜晚，银色的月光洒落在溪谷上。此时，十一岁的彼得没有观赏月亮，也没感觉到微微的凉风吹进厨房。他的思绪全在厨房桌上那条红黑相间的毛毯上。那是爸爸送给爷爷的离别礼物。他们说爷爷要走。他们是这么说的。

    彼得不相信爸爸真会把爷爷送走。可是现在离别礼物都买好了。爸爸今天晚上买的。今晚是他和爷爷在一起的最后一个晚上了。

    吃完晚饭，爷孙俩一块洗碗碟，爸爸走了，和那个就要与他成亲的女人一起走的，不会马上回来。洗完碗碟，爷孙走出屋子，坐在月光下。

    “我去拿口琴来给你吹几支老曲子。”爷爷说。一会儿，爷爷从屋里出来了，拿来的不是口琴，而是那床毛毯。

    那是条大大的双人毛毯。“这毛毯多好！”老人轻抚着膝头的毛毯说，“你爸真孝，给我这老家伙带这么床高级毛毯走。你看这毛，一定很贵的。以后冬天晚上不会冷了。那里不会有这么好的毛毯的。”

    爷爷总这么说，为了避免难堪，他一直装着很想去政府办的养老院的样子，想象着，离开温暖的家和朋友，去哪个地方与许多其他老人一起共度晚年。可彼得从没想到爸爸真会把爷爷送走，直到今晚看到爸爸带回这床毛毯。

    “是床好毛毯，”彼得搭讪着走进小屋。他不是个好哭的孩子，况且，他已早过了好哭鼻子的年龄了。他是进屋给爷爷拿口琴的。

    爷爷接琴时毛毯滑落到地上。最后一个晚上了，爷孙俩谁也没说话。爷爷吹了一会儿，然后说，“你会记住这支曲子。”

    月儿高高挂在天边，微风轻轻地吹过溪谷。最后一次了，彼得想，以后再也听不到爷爷吹口琴了，爸爸也要从这搬走，住进新居了。若把爷爷一个人撇下，美好的夜晚自己独坐廊下，还有什么意思！

    音乐停了，有那么一会儿工夫，爷孙俩谁也没说话。过了一会儿，爷爷说，“这只曲子欢快点。彼得坐在那怔怔地望着远方。爸爸要娶那个姑娘了。是的，那个姑娘亲过他了，还发誓要对他好，做个好妈妈。

    爷爷突然停下来，“这曲子不好，跳舞还凑合。“怔了一会儿，又说，”你爸要娶的姑娘不错。有个这么漂亮的妻子他会变年轻的。我又何必在这碍事，我一会儿这病一会儿那疼，招人嫌呢。况且他们还会有孩子。我可不想整夜听孩子哭闹。不，不！还是走为上策呀！好，再吹两支曲子我们就上床睡觉，睡到明天早晨，带上毛毯走人。你看这支怎么样？调子有些悲，倒很合适这样的夜晚呢。“

    他们没有听到爸爸和那个瓷美人正沿溪谷的小道走来，直到走近门廊，爷孙俩才听到她的笑声，琴声嘎然而止。爸爸一声没吭，姑娘走到爷爷跟前恭敬地说：“明天早晨不能来送您，我现在来跟您告别的。“

    “谢谢了，“爷爷说。低头看着脚边的毛毯，爷爷弯腰拾起来，“你看，”爷爷局促地说，“这是儿子送我的离别礼物。多好的毛毯！”

    “是不错。”她摸了一下毛毯，“好高级呀！”她转向爸爸，冷冷地说，“一定花了不少钱吧。”

    爸爸支吾着说，“我想给他一床最好的毛毯。”“哼，还是双人的呢。”姑娘没完地纠缠毛毯的事。

    “是的，”老人说，“是床双人毛毯。一床一个老家伙即将带走的毛毯。”彼得转身跑进屋。他听到那姑娘还在唠叨毛毯的昂贵，爸爸开始慢慢动怒。姑娘走了，彼得出屋时她正回头冲爸爸喊“甭解释，他根本用不着双人毛毯。”爸爸看着她，脸上有种奇怪的表情。

    “她说得对，爸爸，”彼得说，“爷爷用不着双人毛毯。爸爸，给！”彼得递给爸爸一把剪刀，“把毛毯剪成两块。”

    “好主意，”爷爷温和地说，“我用不着这么大的毛毯。”

    “是的，”彼得说，“老人家送走时给床单人毛毯就不错了。我们还能留下一半，以后迟早总有用处。”

    “你这是什么意思？”爸爸问。

    “我是说，”彼得慢腾腾地说，“等你老了，我送你走时给你这一半。”

    大家都沉默了。好半天，爸爸走到爷爷面前呆呆地，没有一句话。爷爷望着儿子喃喃地说：“没关系，孩子，我知道你不是这么想的……我知道……”这时，彼得哭了。

    但没什么，因为爷爷，爸爸都哭了，哭成了一团……

Joke of Today

Learn it by listening

    Two cowboys come upon an Indian lying on his stomach with his ear to the ground. One of the cowboys stops and says to the other, "You see that Indian?"

    "Yeah," says the other cowboy.

    "Look," says the first one, "he's listening to the ground. He can hear things for miles in any direction."

    Just then the Indian looks up. "Covered wagon," he says, "about two miles away. Have two horses, one brown, one white. Man, woman, child, household effects in wagon."

    "Incredible!" says the cowboy to his friend. "This Indian knows how far away they are, how many horses, what color they are, who is in the wagon, and what is in the wagon. Amazing!"

    The Indian looks up and says, "Ran over me about a half hour ago."

【学习方法】指点迷津

news — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:21 +0800

“大学英语四、六级考试的全部试题都要经过‘命题—初审—预测—计算机项目分析—审题—合成’的漫长过程，在试题的科学性和有效性得到了充分的证明以后，才能投入使用，时间长达一年，而且由经过专业训练的一流语言教学专家和语言测试专家合作完成。这样才能保证语言测试的科学性。遗憾的是有些人以为多项选择无非是一道题目胡凑几个选择项，一个晚上就可以搞出几十道题目，致使各种以牟利为目的的所谓四、六级考试模拟题集充斥市场，令人不胜担忧。这种未经检验的、粗制滥造的东西，用来考试，毫无价值；用来代替教学，只能浪费宝贵的课堂教学时间。我们要大声疾呼，同学们千万不要上当，不要把宝贵的时间浪费在所谓的模拟试题上，不要相信所谓的应试技巧，而应当认真上好每一堂课，扎实提高自己实际使用英语的能力，只有这样，才能在考试中取得好成绩。——全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会（摘自《怎样准备大学英语四级考试——1999年6月实考试卷详解》序言）

　　“匈牙利著名女翻译家卡扎.罗姆尔，通晓十多种语言。通过多年摸索和学习，她把自己学习外语的丰富经验概括为简明易懂的十条，这对每一个外语学习者都有普遍意义。这十条是：

    （1）学习不中断，哪怕挤出10分钟也好，早晨是大好时机。

    （2）学厌了可变换一下学习方式或形式。

    （3）不要脱离上下文孤立地死记硬背。

    （4）随时记下并背熟那些常用的句型。

    （5）尽可能“心译”接触到的东西，如一闪而过的广告，偶尔听到的话语等。

    （6）只有经过教师修改的东西才值得牢记，也就是说，要记住那些肯定是正确无误的东西。

    （7）抄录和记忆句型和惯用语时，要用单数第一人称。

    （8）外语好比碉堡，必须同时从四面八方围攻：读外文报，听外语广播，看外语电影、听外语讲座，读外语课本等。

    （9）要敢于说外语，不要怕出错误，要请别人纠正，不要难为情，更不要泄气。

    （10）要坚信自己一定能达到目的，坚信自己有坚强的毅力和学好外语的才能。——摘自《新民晚报》1999.2.8章志洁

　　“学外语没有什么秘诀，就是给予足够的时间，坚持下去。多听、多说、多读、多写, 多查字典。”——著名语言学家，王力

　　“多读、多写、多听，时间久了，自然产生效果;没有任何学习英语的捷径。”——著名翻译家，杨宪益

　　“学语言就是要“自己去吃点儿苦头”, 语言不能依靠教学法理论, 决不能让令人眼花缭乱、五花八门的教学法牵着鼻子走。”——著名学者，季羡林

　　“学习外语没有捷径可走，语言能力的强弱与掌握语言材料的多寡成正比，语言材料吸收量越大，语言能力提高越快，其中，背诵是一种强化的语言材料输入，是学习语言不可缺少的环节，也是多年来被语言（包括母语）教学实践证明为行之有效的方法。”——复旦大学教授，《大学英语》总主编董亚芬（摘自《光明日报》1998年5月8日）

　　“学外语无非是模仿和记忆，读要朗读，不能默念。口语、语法一定要双管齐下。口语学习只能是个熟能生巧的问题，除了实践，没有其他方法。”——南京大学德语教授张威廉（摘自《解放日报》1998年5月14日）

【口语】甜言蜜语九句话

news — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:00:59 +0800

    最直接的说法：

    1、I love you.

    我爱你。

    注：简单却极有攻击力的，爱情中，没有这三个字，总觉得缺少了一剂调味品，如果彼此确定，又何必吝惜这三个字呢？

    有感情，但不确定有爱情的说法：

    2、I have a crush on you.

    我对你有点动心。

    注：这句话总是让我想起张信哲那首歌《对你有一点动心》，那种紧张而期待的感觉，回忆起来总是忍不住将笑意蔓延，年轻真的是很好啊。

    3、I care about you deeply.

    我非常关心你。

    保守含蓄的说法：

    4、I'm fond of you.

    我对你有好感。

    强烈的、戏剧化的说法：

    5、You light up my life.

    你照亮我的生命。

    6、I can't live without you.

    我没有你活不下去。

    7、You mean the world to me.

    你对我来说是最重要的。

    8、My heart belongs to you.

    我的心属于你。

    9、You take my breath away.

    你让我忘记呼吸。

    注：强烈的感情总是听起来很美，那种专属的重要感很容易让人沉醉，只是生活总是柴米油盐，书本上的移到实际中，却往往让人觉得怪异、不知所措，也许平平淡淡的温馨就足够了吧？

Visit the Barber

    A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair.

    "I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

    When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you." "That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"

《功夫熊猫》中英文台词

news — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:00:01 +0800

2008年最不能错过的电影是什么？有很多人回答是《功夫熊猫》！虽然网上对这部影片褒贬不一，但是不可否认确实很搞笑，即使制作方很商业地想乘着奥运“中国热”的东风海捞一笔，可从心里说，我并不是很反对，至少我们中国的文化被世人看到了，至少电影给大家带来了笑声，虽然比较遗憾拍片子的是老外……不过全球经济一体化，是否我们不应该再如此狭隘？外国人替我们宣扬文化，又何不好呢？即使理解有偏差，那也没关系，争辩啊，讨论啊，仁者见仁智者见智的百家争鸣的盛世也许就因此而大放异彩了呢！也许在这内外夹攻下，我们中国也会尽早拍出尽显中国文化元素的影片也未可知啊！

Joke of Today

What panda does in a cafe

    A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

    "Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit.

    The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I'm a panda," he says, at the door.

    "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation...

    "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

    注释：The meaning of shoot in the manual means "a part of bamboo" and leaves mean "a green part of tree" but panda misunderstood the meaning.

news — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:00:09 +0800

    生活只是一张白纸，可我们到底想在上面绘出什么色彩呢？人们对成功的渴求如此浓烈，希望无限，幻想无限。只是成功之外的风景不是唯有失败，生活是多层面的，哪个才是我们自己呢？

Joke of Today

Dream flying planes

    Sue and Bob, a pair of tight wads, lived in the mid west, and had been married years.

    Bob had always want to go flying. The desire deepen each time a barn stormer flew into town to offer rides.

    Bob would ask, and Sue would say, "No way, ten dollars is ten dollars."

    The years went pay, and Bob figured he didn't have much longer, so he got Sue out to the show, explaining, it's free to watch, let's at least watch.

    And once he got there the feeling become real strong. Sue and Bob started an arguement.

    The Pilot, between flights, overheard, listened to their problem, and said, "I'll tell you what, I'll take you up flying, and if you don't say a word the ride is on me, but if you back one sound, you pay ten dollars.

    So off they flew. The Pilot doing as many rolls, and dives as he could.

    Heading to the ground as fast as the plane could go, and pulling out of the dive at just the very last second. Not a word. Finally he admited defeat and went back the air port.

    "I'm surprised, why didn't you say anything?"

    "Well I almost said something when Sue fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."
