 [English]美式地道口语：考试须知 | |
美式地道口语：考试须知 所接触到的英语都是和考试有关. 有些老美的惯用法虽然很简单, 可是如果你从来没听过的话, 还是会出糗的喔! 像有一次我的学生就跑来问我, "Did you curve it?" 大家猜的出来这句话是什么意思吗? 1. Did you curve it? 你有没有画常态分布曲线? 大家应该都知道, 考试的成绩分布看起来多半会是大多数的人落在平均分数附近, 只有少数的人落在高分区和低分区, 这就是所谓的高斯分布或是常态分布. 所以我的学生跑来问我, "Did you curve it?" 其实他就是问我有没有照常态分布下去打成绩. 这种情形下, 我就可以回答, "Yes, I did. The cut-off points for A is 80." 意思就是照这个常态分布你要拿到 A 的话, 至少要有80 分以上才行. 另外像是中文的吊车尾, 英文中可以说成 on the lower end of the curve. 例如老师会说, "For those of you on the lower end of the curve, no need to panic yet." (那些吊车尾的同学现在还不必太紧张啦!) 2. She took 10 points off. 她扣了我十分. 英文里的几分可以用 point 这个字. 像是扣分就可以 take points off 这个片语, 或是光用 off 也可以, 例如 "Five points off from problem one and ten points off from problem two." (第一题被扣了五分, 第二题被扣了十分.) 不过要注意一点, 我考了八十分, 老美不会说成, "I got eighty points in that test." 而会说, "I got an eighty."& | |

| [English]好管闲事 | |
好管闲事 经济新闻评政府税收有：Though it sounds negligible, the tax is a case of allowing the camel's nose into the tent之论，评政府拟加收一项税目，其数听来微不足道，但是“让骆驼鼻子伸进帐篷”的事例。 To allow (the) camel's nose into the tent 或者 to get (the) camel's nose into the tent 是“为达到最终目的做安排布置”。 政府拟定税目虽然非常低微，但它是为全面加税做的布署。这个骆驼鼻子，令人想到口语中常说的 to poke one's nose into something，指好管闲事。He is always poking his nose into other people's business。他总是好管他人的事，好管闲事者也。此语中之poke，又作stick，或者put， thrust以及shove。 劝朋友不要去管不相干的事情：Do not stick your nose into things that do not concern you！简单的说法作：Keep your nose out of things that do not concern you。以keep one's nose out of something 表示不要牵涉某事之中。 朋友对你过度关心，事事都要替你出主意，如果你感到烦，不妨说：I'll thank you to keep your nose out of my affairs。 | |

Learning about Life 学习人生 【题目】 Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family and friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is thorough personal experience. Compare the advantages of these two different ways of learning about life. Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference. 【范文】 Learning about Life As we grow, we learn many things about life. Some of these lessons are easy and some are difficult. What is the best way to learn them? Some believe that they can learn best by listening to the advice of others, while some people believe that it is better to learn through personal experience. Both methods have their advantages. In the first case, learning by listening to others, we have the benefit of learning from others’ mistakes and are thus being able to avoid them ourselves. We can take advantage of the experience and wisdom of our friends and family. This will help us to make better decisions and avoid costly errors. Furthermore, the people who know us well can advise us effectively because they understand our strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, they are sometimes able to see situations more objectively than we are. In the second case, learning through doing, we have the advantage of gaining meaningful experience. We will no doubt better remember the | |

| [English]如何鼓励别人 | |
如何鼓励别人 当好朋友遇到挫折和不如意的事情，要怎么样去安慰他呢?自己遇到了同样的状况时候，又该怎么鼓励自己呢?这次我们就来看看老美都是怎么鼓励别人的吧! 1. Hang in there. 撑下去。 想象有人快要从悬崖上掉下去，只有一只手抓着仅剩的一点的石块，这时候他最需要的一句话就是Hang in there.这个hang in就是抓住不要让自己掉下去的意思。 这个短语用在实际的生活中，就是鼓励别人要坚持下去、不要放弃。像有一次电视剧中有个人被枪射伤，他的好友就对他说：Hang in there. I'll call the ambulance. (撑下去，我去叫救护车。) 2. Cheer up. You've done a good job. 高兴点，你作得很好啊。 Cheer up也是常用来鼓励人的话，就是要别人高兴一点、不要难过(Don't be sad.)而You've done a good job.这句话则几乎己经成为一种固定用法，每当别人完成一件任务时，你都可以跟他说You've done a good job.或是简单地说Good job.或者Well done. 3. You are very supportive. 你很支持我。 “支持”在中文是个动词，所以这句话很多人会说成You support me a lot.这样的讲法也没错，但support somebody在英文中常有在金钱上支持某人作某件事的意思。例如My parents support me to go to the college. (我父母供我上大学。)因此老美常用supportive来表示一个人对一个人的支持。例如一些访谈的节目中就常可以听到这样的话My husband is very supportive. (我的丈夫对我十分支持。)或是要感谢别人对你的支持时，你也可以说You are very supportive. 如何鼓励别人（二） 上次讲的怎样鼓励别人的句子你会了吗？这里还有一些，快来看看吧！ 1. It's not the end of the world. 这不是世界末日。 当别人极度难过的时候，就需要给他们一些强而有力的鼓舞。英文里也有很多成语都可以派得上用场。最常听老美说的就是It's not the end of | |

| [English]书本里学不到的地道习语 | |
书本里学不到的地道习语 很多英国人常用的习语，我们在书本里是学不到的。解决的一个好办法就是去英国旅游。如果不能去旅游的话，看看我给大家准备的这顿“习语大餐”也是不错的选择噢！ 1. Are you all right? 你好吗？ 绝对想不到“Are you all right?”还可以用来打招呼吧？其实这可是英国人最常用的打招呼句子，比“How are you?”还要流行哦！例如： Are you all right, David? Fine, thank you. 2. Cheers! 谢谢，再见！ 我们干杯的时候常说Cheers!，以示宾主尽欢。当英国人下公车、买完东西的时候，他们常常对司机和售货员说“Cheers!”，来代替Thank you 和 Goodbye。例如： Five pounds fifty, please. Cheers! Cheers! 3. Give me a minute! 请稍等一会！ 说到“稍等一会”，我们立刻想到的就是wait a minute，意思也是不错的。但是英国人会说“Give me a minute!”，例如： Give me a minute, David! I will find the map for you. 4. I am behind you. 我支持你 “I am behind you.”这句话真的是非常明白的表示了“一个成功的男人背后必定有一个女人”的意思。说到“我支持你”，可能很多人都会想到“I support you.”，可就是想不到“I am behind you.”吧。例如： Whatever decision you are going to make, I am behind you. 5. Do you really mean it? 此话当真？ 当别人许诺要给你什么好处的时候，你一定会以为是天上掉馅饼了，所以禁不住要问一句：Do you really mean it? 就是"此话当真"的意思。例如： I can give what you wan | |

| [English]For the Love of Chocolate! | |
For the Love of Chocolate! Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate can be traced back to Central and South America. For centuries, the natives there regarded cocoa as a gift from the gods. But how did chocolate go from being the food of the gods to being the food of love? Around A.D. 600, the Mayas were the main aboriginal group in Central America. They established the first cocoa plantations and used the cocoa bean as the main ingredient in a dark, bitter drink that we would call “chocolate.” The Mayas believed that chocolate had mystical properties---but cocoa also had commercial value.

生活充满选择 Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.
