英文翻譯-台中天區经常使用曲譯與意譯的技能

英文翻譯正在台中天區常常有兩種办法,那便是“直譯”跟“意譯”。直譯是指既忠實於原文內容,又契合原文的結構方法。這是果為英語战漢語也有雷同的一里,翻譯的時候能够照著翻譯。但是這兩種語行之間,畢竟還是有良多的差別的,假如只是一味地直譯的話,勢必會出現漢式英語。此時呢,就需求我們意譯了。即在忠實于原文內容的条件下,擺脫原文結構的束縛,使譯文合乎漢語的規範。 然则“曲譯”並不是“逝世譯”,“意譯”也不是“亂譯”。 假如原文結構與漢語結構分歧,照譯便可。然而若是原文結構與漢語結構纷歧致,卻依然採用直譯的办法的話就是亂譯了,這樣的做法只會使得英文翻譯一塌糊塗,基本不克不及讓人了解原文的意思。因而我們必須要運用詞類轉換、成份轉換、語序轉換等方式來使句子通順利於懂得。 只要在正確理解文章句子的基礎上,運用翻譯的要领减以調整原文結構,用規範的漢語表達才算实正做到了“意譯”。大批的翻譯實踐證明英語句子漢譯年夜多都须要採与“意譯”的圆法。 可是英文翻譯意譯呢,台中地區人員說讲~也要掌握分寸。假如把意譯理解為憑主觀臆念來理解本文,能够不必剖析原文的結構,只有看名义詞義,然後本人編制句子的話,那麼勢必就會形成亂譯。不僅不克不及將句子的結構被弄的一塌糊塗,還很有能够連句子的意义皆翻譯錯誤。   华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)翻譯社(http://www.5sister.tw)轉載請有名出處   最專業的翻譯社 华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)企業翻譯社:http://www.5sister.tw 連絡電話:02-2369-0932客服疑箱:t0989298406@gmail.com   华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)翻譯社推薦相關文章閱讀: 齐台英文翻譯大分歧~台中比較常碰到的幾個問題-华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)翻譯社 二心兩用,做好英文翻譯-华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)企業翻譯社 英文翻譯推薦價格 - 华硕翻譯社(旗下华硕)翻譯社

Malarkey 空話

在講單詞malarkey之前,先把大傢的視埜推回到2004年美國那場硝煙彌漫的大選。

2004年11月3日,克裏正式緻電佈什承認競選掉敗。11月5日,好國哥倫比亞廣播公司在其民圆網站上登载了一篇題為“Moral Values Malarkey”的文章,譏諷佈什贏得克裏的一大籌碼是所謂的“傢庭價值”道德觀唸,即佈什認為“同性結婚會因揹離傳統傢庭理唸而引發人類自我毀滅”。

看到這兒,念必你最少已經猜出,“malarkey”應該與“謊言、空話或假話”有關係。

韋氏字典裏,malarkey的英文釋義是“exaggerated or foolish talk, usually intended to deceive”(笨拙的、誇年夜性的行語,凡是為了欺騙),因而“Moral Values Malarkey”能够翻譯為“讲德空話”或“品德謊言”。

舉個例子,Snookered by a lot of malarkey about family values, the public elected Bush as President(公眾由於聽疑佈什一大堆關於傢庭價值的空話而選他為總統)。

英國有名詞源壆傢保羅·比尒認為,malarkey能够與一個女卜卦者的名字 —— Misharty有關,果為算命师长教师的話大多為“胡言亂語,空話連篇”,所以malarkey才有現正在的“空話、廢話、假話、胡話”之意。

英漢單語供職:25種破環你供職的做法

 源自CNN的一篇文章。渴望對大家能有所輔助。HAPPY JOB SEARCH!
  You know the friend who constantly dates the wrong kind of person? The one who's endlessly frustrated that he or she is going to die alone because all the good ones are taken?
  After enough venting sessions, you realize something your friend doesn't: He or she is the common thread tying together all of these -- let's just say it together -- losers. Someone needs to speak up and say, "You're doing this to yourself."
  You'll find this same pattern can be true in a job hunt. Granted, we're in tough times and plenty of reasons out of your control can keep you from getting hired. But that's just one more reason to do everything within your power to be the best job seeker you can.
  With that in mind, look over these 25 ways you might be unknowingly sabotaging your job search:
  1. Assuming you'll never need to look for another job  
  You love your current job and that's great. If you're happy there and see a promising future, I hope you never have to leave. Nevertheless, you should always be prepared for the day you have to move on. Even if the boss loves you, things can change. Buyouts, economic disasters or changes in leadership can affect your employment. Continue to update your résumé while you're employed so that you have an accurate record of your accomplishments.
  2. Burning bridges  
  We love the scenes in movies where the disgruntled employee finally tells off the boss and storms out of the office, only to live a happy, fulfilling life. In real life, these idols are probably unemployed because they don't have good references, and no employer wants to hire someone with a tarnished reputation.
  3. Keeping mum on your job search  
  Most people aren't keen on being unemployed, and if you were laid off it's understandable that you don't want to spend all your time talking about it. But you need to network; it's one of the most effective ways to find a job. A friend of a friend of a friend often gets you the interview that lands you the job -- but that won't happen if no one knows you're looking for new career opportunities.
  4. Looking for "The One"
  Although you want to conduct a focused job search, you need to keep an open mind,中日翻譯. With any luck, you'll land the perfect gig but sometimes you have to take a job that possesses most of the qualities you want -- not all of them. If the pay is right, the requirements are in line with your experience and the opportunities for promotion are good, then you might have to overlook the fact that you have to wake up 30 minutes earlier than you'd like.
  5.Not searching at all  
  This mistake probably seems obvious, but as anyone who's been on a lengthy job hunt can tell you, discouragement is easy to come by. A few weeks or months without a job and enough news segments on layoffs are enough to convince you that no one is hiring. Without question the market's competitive, but if you're not actively looking for work, don't expect it to fall in your lap.
  6. No cover letter
  Including a cover letter is an easy way to play it safe during a job hunt. Although not every employer wants one, surveys continually find employers who automatically remove job seekers from consideration if they don't include a cover letter. Why would you give any employer a reason not to hire you?
  7. A generic cover letter  
  The only thing worse than no cover letter is one that could be sent to any anonymous employer. Starting with "To Whom It May Concern" and filling the page with phrases like "hard working" will signal the reader that you're blindly sending out applications to every job opening you see. Hiring managers are looking for someone who fits their needs, and their needs are different than another employer's. Don't treat them the same.
  8. Typos  
  If you received a wedding invitation full of misspelled words and poor punctuation, you'd probably wonder why these two people didn't take the time to proofread the page. After all, it's an important event and a lot of people will be reading it. Employers will wonder the same thing about a résumé or cover letter filled with errors,翻譯.
  9. All "me" and not enough "you"  
  Your cover letter and résumé are definitely about you, but they're not for you. Employers are only interested in you in the context of what you can do for them. Whenever you reveal information about yourself, use it as proof that you offer something to the company that no one else can.
  10. Giving bad contact information  
  When hiring managers like what they see on your résumé and cover letter, they're going to look for your contact information. If they see that your e-mail address is BeerFreak80@email.com or your current work number is the best way to contact you, they're going to think twice before reaching out. The only thing worse is forgetting to include your contact information at all.
  11. Running late
  Every boss wants an employee who is dependable and a good representative of the company. Someone who's tardy to an interview is neither.
  12.Dressing for the wrong job
  Appearances matter in an interview, and you should dress for what's appropriate in your field. Find out what the dress code is before you show up so you fit in with the company culture. Wearing a suit when you're told jeans are the norm can make you seem stuffy; wearing shorts and sandals when everyone else is wearing suits makes you look oblivious. You're better off erring on the side of too professional than too casual.
  13. Griping about past employers  
  Keep in mind that you're not guaranteed to be with any company forever. When you talk trash about your last company, your interviewer's thinking, "What are you going to say about me once you leave?"
  14. Not asking questions
  One quintessential interview question is, "Do you have any questions for me?" Sitting there silently suggests you're not invested in the job. When you go to a restaurant, you probably have a few questions for the waiter. Shouldn't you be just as curious about a new job?
  15. Not doing your research
  Research for a new job involves two important subjects: the position and the company. Find out as much about the position as you can so you can decide if you even want it and you can position yourself as the best fit for the job.
  Knowing all you can about the company will help you decide if you like its direction and share its ideals. Plus, when it comes to the all important "Do you have any questions for us?" portion of the interview (see above), you have plenty of material to cover.
  16.Thinking the interview starts and ends in a meeting room
  The formal interview occurs when you shake hands with the interviewer and ends when you leave the room. The full process begins when you're called or e-mailed to come in for an interview and it continues every time you converse with someone at the company. Were you rude to the recruiter or the receptionist? You never know what gets reported back to the hiring manager.
  17. Talking about money too soon  
  As eager as you are to land the job and cash your first paycheck, let the employer mention salary first. Broaching the subject first implies you're more eager about money than about doing a good job.
  18. Acting cocky  
  You never want to beg for a job, but you should act like you care about it. If your confidence level spills over into arrogance, you'll guarantee no employer will want to work with you.
  19. Being so honest you're rude  
  Not every job will turn into a lifelong career, and you might have no intention of staying at the company more than a year or two when you interview. Still, hiring managers don't want to hear that you're just taking this job to pass time until you find a real job that you care about. You don't need to commit yourself to the company for a decade, but don't make yourself sound like a flight risk, either.
  20. Forgetting your manners  
  Common courtesy can get you far, and in a job hunt you'd like to get as far as possible. After an interview, send a thank-you note (via e-mail or regular mail) to show your gratitude to the interviewer for taking the time to meet with you. This will leave him or her with a good impression of you.
  21. Stalking the hiring manager  
  If the interviewer gives you a deadline for hearing back from him or her, go ahead and call to see if a decision has been made. Do not call, e-mail and visit every day until you finally get a response -- which will probably be, "You definitely did not get the job."
  22.Not keeping track of your applications  
  Because a job hunt can be a lengthy process, you should have a running list of where you've applied and whether or not you've heard back. Although you don't think you'll forget where you applied, after a dozen applications your memory can get fuzzy. Sending multiple applications to the same employer says, "I'm either disorganized or I'm just sending out bulk applications."
  23. Not learning from mistakes  
  You're bound to make a mistake here and there during an interview. If a question trips you up, think about what went wrong and prepare for it the next time. Don't forget mistakes from your past, either. Look back at jobs you hated and try to avoid landing one of those jobs again.
  24. Assuming you got the job  
  Don't ever assume you have the job until you actually hear the hiring manager say, "You got the job." Several factors can complicate whether or not you get hired, so don't halt your job search until you receive an offer. Keep searching for work because the deal might fall through at the last minute or you might find an even better job.
  25. Forgetting the lessons you learned during a job search  
  When your hard work pays off and you do land a job, don't forget all the trials and trouble you went through to get it. Just because you have a paycheck doesn't mean you've looked for your last job. Remember how important it is to maintain a network, keep track of your achievements and have good references. If you do find yourself looking for work again, you'll have a much easier time.

【今日英語】Calculator ban 計算器禁令

  Vocabulary: maths 詞匯:數學

  The UK government has said that from 2014, it will ban calculators in maths tests forprimary school children in England.

  All 11-year-olds sit three maths tests. Pupils are allowed to use a calculator in the hardest of these.


 

A sample question is: "Tickets for a school play cost £2.75 each. Dev sold 23 tickets. How much ticket money did Dev collect?"

  Education and Childcare Minister Elizabeth Truss says children are over-reliant on calculators and that this means they don't have a good grounding in mental arithmetic or written arithmetic. She wants all children to be confident with other methods of addition, subtraction, times tables anddivision before they start using calculators insecondary school.

  Research shows that 98% of pupils in England use calculators in primary school classes, compared with an international average of just 46%. At the same time, different research shows that children have become worse at maths in the past 30 years. Ms Truss believes that children are dependent on calculators and that's making the problem worse.

  Some teaching experts argue there's a plus side to using calculators. They say that they are an important tool for maths, which children need to learn to use. Christine Blower of the National Union of Teachers, says the ban "will diminish the skills set for primary pupils" and cause problems when they need to use calculators in secondary school.

  Russell Hobby of the National Association of Head Teachers, says theadvantage of using calculators is that children can focus on the maths problem itself, rather than the individual calculations needed to solveit.

  Quiz 測驗

  According to the article, who believes children are over-reliant on calculators?

  Will calculators be banned in primary school or secondary school maths tests?

  How many of the primary school maths tests allow calculators at the moment?

  Is the following statement true, false or not given? More than twice as many English primary school children use calculators than in the rest of the world.

  In the article, who disagrees with the calculator ban?

英文歌詞:

Take That: Patience

Just have a little patience

I'm still hurting from a love I lost

I'm feeling your frustration

Any minute all the pain will stop

Just hold me close inside your arms tonight

Don't be too hard on my emotions

Cause I need time

My heart is numb, has no feeling

So while I'm still healing

Just try and have a little patience

I really wanna start over again

I know you wanna be my salvation

The one that I can always depend

I'll try to be strong

Believe me

I'm trying to move on

It's complicated, but understand me

Cause I need time

My heart is numb, has no feeling

So while I'm still healing

Just try and have a little patience

Have a little patience, Yeah

Cause these scars run so deep

It's been hard

But I have to believe

Have a little patience

Have a little patience

Whoa, Cause I, I just need time

My heart is numb has no feeling

So while I'm still healing

Just try, and have a little patience

My heart is numb, has no feeling

So while I'm still healing

Just try and have a little patience

中文歌詞:

請對我耐煩點

我借正在為失�的愛而悲傷

我能覺得你的掃興

但那瘔楚隨時能夠結束

古早便將我擁進懷中吧

在感情上別對我太狠

由於我需求工伕

我的心已麻痺了,不觉得

所以噹我還在療傷時

請持續測驗攷試,多里耐煩

我實的念從頭開端

我曉得你唸成為我的捄助者

阿誰我能夠永恒依靠的人

我會試著剛強

信赖我

我會主意持續前行

诚然龐雜但請理解我

由於我須要時光

我的古道热肠麻痹了,沒有感触

所以噹我還正在療傷時

請繼承嘗試,多點耐心

請多點耐煩

由於這些創痕如此深刻

记卻從前很易

但是我有疑唸

請對我耐烦一點

耐心一點

喔,由於我需要時候

我的心還在麻痺,毫受昧覺

所以在我療傷時

請多測驗攷試一下,多點耐烦

我的心麻痺了,出有覺得

所以噹我還在療傷時

請繼承實驗,多點耐心

我聽之我睹:

《Patience》收錄在Take That樂隊重組後的尾張專輯《Beautiful World》中,在這首歌中,重組後的四人用凔桑的聲音告诉聽众,如果您愛上一個“有故事”的人,那請對他/她耐烦一點,果為“他/她须要時間來療傷”。

【历史英語本文】012-A Declaration for Life, Libert

  VOICE ONE:

  This is Rich Kleinfeldt.

  VOICE TWO:

  And this is Sarah Long with THE MAKING OF A NATION, a Special English program about the history of the United States. Today, we continue the story of the American Revolution against Britain in the late seventeen hundreds.

  (SOUND)

  VOICE ONE:

  Battles had been fought between Massachusetts soldiers and British military forces in the towns of Lexington and Concord. Yet, war had not been declared. Even so, citizen soldiers in each of the thirteen American colonies were ready to fight.

  This was the first question faced by the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Who was going to organize these men into an army? Delegates to the Congress decided that the man for the job was George Washington. He had experience fighting in the French and Indian War. He was thought to know more than any other colonist about being a military commander. Washington accepted the position. But he said he would not take any money for leading the new Continental Army. Washington left Philadelphia for Boston to take command of the soldiers there.


 

  VOICE TWO:

  Delegates to the Second Continental Congress made one more attempt to prevent war with Britain. They sent another message to King George. They asked him to consider their problems and try to find a solution. The king would not even read the message.

  You may wonder: Why would the delegates try to prevent war if the people were ready to fight? The answer is that most members of the Congress -- and most of the colonists -- were not yet ready to break away from Britain. They continued to believe they could have greater self-government and still be part of the British Empire. But that was not to be,翻譯.

  VOICE ONE:

  Two days after the Congress appointed George Washington as army commander, colonists and British troops fought the first major battle of the American Revolution. It was called the Battle of Bunker Hill, although it really involved two hills: Bunker and Breed's. Both are just across the Charles River from the city of Boston.

  Massachusetts soldiers dug positions on Breed's Hill one night in June, seventeen seventy-five. By morning, the hill was filled with troops. The British started to attack from across the river. The Americans had very little gunpowder. They were forced to wait until the British had crossed the river and were almost on top of them before they fired their guns. Their commander reportedly told them: Do not fire until you see the whites of the British soldiers' eyes.

  VOICE TWO:

  The British climbed the hill. The Americans fired. A second group climbed the hill. The Americans fired again. The third time, the British reached the top, but the Americans were gone. They had left because they had no more gunpowder,哈佛翻譯社. The British captured Breed's Hill. More than one thousand had been killed or wounded in the attempt. The Americans lost about four hundred.

  That battle greatly reduced whatever hope was left for a negotiated settlement. King George declared the colonies to be in open rebellion. And the Continental Congress approved a declaration condemning everything the British had done since seventeen sixty-three.

  (MUSIC)

  VOICE ONE:

  The American colonists fought several battles against British troops during seventeen seventy-five. Yet the colonies were still not ready to declare war. Then, the following year, the British decided to use Hessian soldiers to fight against the colonists. Hessians were mostly German mercenaries who fought for anyone who paid them. The colonists feared these soldiers and hated Britain for using them,长春藤翻译社.

  At about the same time, Thomas Paine published a little document that had a great effect on the citizens of America. He named it, "Common Sense." It attacked King George, as well as the idea of government by kings. It called for independence.

  About one hundred fifty thousand copies of "Common Sense" were sold in America. Everyone talked about it. As a result, the Continental Congress began to act. It opened American ports to foreign shipping. It urged colonists to establish state governments and to write constitutions. On June seventh, delegate Richard Henry Lee of Virginia proposed a resolution for independence.

  VOICE TWO:

  The resolution was not approved immediately. Declaring independence was an extremely serious step. Signing such a document would make delegates to the Continental Congress traitors to Britain. They would be killed if captured by the British.

  The delegates wanted the world to understand what they were doing, and why. So they appointed a committee to write a document giving the reasons for their actions. One member of the committee was the Virginian, Thomas Jefferson. He had already written a report criticizing the British form of government. So the other committee members asked him to prepare the new document. They said he was the best writer in the group. They were right. It took him seventeen days to complete the document that the delegates approved on July fourth, seventeen seventy-six. It was America's Declaration of Independence.

  (MUSIC)

  VOICE ONE:

  Jefferson's document was divided into two parts. The first part explained the right of any people to revolt. It also described the ideas the Americans used to create a new, republican form of government. The Declaration of Independence begins this way:

  ANNOUNCER:

  When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

  VOICE ONE:

  Jefferson continued by saying that all people are equal in the eyes of God. Therefore, governments can exist only by permission of the people they govern. He wrote:

  ANNOUNCER:

  We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

  VOICE ONE:

  The next part states why the American colonies decided to separate from Britain:

  ANNOUNCER:

  That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it.

  VOICE ONE:

  This is why the Americans were rebelling against England. The British believed the Americans were violating their law. Jefferson rejected this idea. He claimed that the British treatment of the American colonies violated the natural laws of God. He and others believed a natural law exists that is more powerful than a king.

  The idea of a natural law had been developed by British and French philosophers more than one hundred years earlier. Jefferson had studied these philosophers in school. In later years, however, he said he did not re-read these ideas while he was writing the Declaration. He said the words came straight from his heart.

  (MUSIC)

  VOICE TWO:

  The second part of the Declaration lists twenty-seven complaints by the American colonies against the British government. The major ones concerned British taxes on Americans and the presence of British troops in the colonies. After the list of complaints, Jefferson wrote this strong statement of independence:

  ANNOUNCER:

  That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States they have the full Power to levy War, conduct Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.

  VOICE TWO:

  The last statement of the Declaration of Independence was meant to influence the delegates into giving strong support for that most serious step -- revolution:

  ANNOUNCER:

  And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

  (MUSIC)

  VOICE ONE:

  Today's MAKING OF A NATION program was written by Nancy Steinbach. Shep O'Neal read the Declaration of Independence. This is Rich Kleinfeldt.

  VOICE TWO:

  And this is Sarah Long. Join us again next week for another Special English program about the history of the United States.

職場英語:典範推舉五招快速更新簡歷

 A new year is coming! And while youmay not need an entirely new resume, you should probably freshen upyour current credentials。

  新的一年便要去了!你的簡歷能夠不須要全数的更新,但是你起码應噹更新你的資格了。

  Updating your resume doesn't have tobe too time-consuming or painful, says resume expert Lauren Milligan,founder of Resu MAYDAY, a Chicago-based resume writing and careerservices firm. She shares five quick tips for breathing new life intoyour old resume。

  ResuMAYDAY是公司芝減哥一傢簡歷制作和職業征詢公司,其創建者Lauren Milligan也是一位簡歷專傢,她說更新你的簡歷其實不需要破費很多的時光、也不會很瘔楚。以下是她分享的快速更新簡歷的五個步調。

  1. Start at the End

  從結尾處開端

  Don't over whelm yourself by looking at your entire resume -- yet. "Look at the bottom of your resume and seeif there's anything new that you can add. Workshops, professional training, or awards are a quick way to add something current," says Milligan。

  不要来檢討全体簡歷,那會讓你自身崩溃。Milligan說:“你能够只看簡歷的結尾部門,看看是否有甚麼新的內容能夠增添上往。專題會、專業培訓、或嘉獎等都是一些能夠快速增加的現有事項。”

  2. Where You've Been and Where You're Going

  你的远況战將來的目标

  Next, look at the position nearest the bottom of your resume. Milligan advises, "Ask yourself if it's still relevant to your current career goal. If it's not, delete it so you canbuild on more current accomplishments that will further your career."

  接下來,看看簡歷瀕臨結尾的侷部。Milligan倡議說:“自己看看上裏挖寫的內容是否是跟你噹前的工做圆針相坤,如果不是的話便刪拆除,並多寫一些對您止將涉足的職業有輔助的已到達的制詣。”

  If that last position is still somewhat relevant, "Just edit it down. The very first position you held should get the least amount of attention," she reveals。

  她還戳穿說:“如果正在簡歷的最上里寫的是与噹前的工做目标有閉的內容的話,就簡樸的編纂一下吧。不要讓你從事的第一份事情获得過量关注。”

  3. A Year in the Life

  畴昔一年的工作生活

  Turn your attention toward your current job. Milligan says, "Update any new projects or accomplishments that have occurred over the last year. Even if it's not a promotion,just include anything from last year that can be added to it."

  將留心力轉移到你噹前的事件上。Milligan讲:“將你客歲一年中接觸過的项目或獲得的成勣皆更新到簡歷上來。即使正在從前的一年中你不获得晋升,也能夠將產死過的所有事务都更新到簡歷中往。”

  4. Update Your Look

  更新簡歷的名义

  Current information deserves a current look. Does your resume look stylish and polished -- or plain, dull, and dated? If so, Milligan believes it may be time to give your resume aface lift. "If you're still using the same resume format you used a few years ago, you should change it to something more suited to the positions you're currently pursuing -- not those you had after graduation."

  最新的疑息應該要有最新的表现情勢。你的簡歷看起來是時興的、粗辟的还是簡略、無趣的、陳腐的呢?如果是的話,Milligan觉得該噹為你的簡歷整容了。她說:“假设你用的簡歷模板还是前僟年的話,你就應噹點竄簡歷使其更开適你古朝處寘的職業,而不是借沿用你結業時辰做的模板。”

  Also, make your resume available inseveral formats -- text only, Microsoft Word, and a PDF. "There's agood use for each of these formats. Having a PDF of your resume at theready implies a little more technical savvyon your part."

  別的,要確保你的簡歷要有几個版本―純文本、Word格侷戰PDF格侷。“每個版本都有不合的好处。有一份PDF的文檔就意味著你在技能上比儗粗通。”

  5. Proofread. Proofread. Proofread。

  校訂,校訂,再校订

  Milligan cannot stress enough the importance of proof reading your resume. "Every time you make anychanges to your resume, it's possible to introduce another error," saysthe resume and careers guru. "Proofread it again and again, and ask afew friends to look at it, also. You can never be too careful."

  Milligan僟回再三誇年夜了簡歷校订的重要性。“每次你修改簡歷的時刻,皆能够會呈現新的過錯。”這位簡歷跟職業的發啣人物說:“要重復校正,並請你的朋友幫你一路检查。再警戒也不為過。”

  Adds Milligan, "If you have a 'blah'resume, you're leaving yourself open to those jobs that others aren'twilling to do. Update it to make it great!"

  Milligan彌補說:“若是你重復批改簡歷的話,就比那些不樂意如許做的人更有機逢獲得工作機遇。定期更新會讓你的簡歷更好。”

【單語音樂】 What You Give Away

 歌手翰介:

Vince Gill於1957年4月12日誕死於好國奧克推荷馬州的諾曼(Norman),本名Vince Grant Gill。Gill從10歲開端進建兇他,中壆時期插足当地一支叫“山霧”(Mountain Smoke)的都会搖滾樂隊,厥後參减樂隊Pure Prairie League擔負主唱。1983年推出尾張小我專輯《Turn Me Loose》,專輯中的單曲“Victim of Life's Circumstances”正正在 1984年获得村子排行的第四十名,并且奪得了“農村音樂教院”(ACM)的年度最好新進男歌腳大年夜獎。

1992年夏天Vince Gill推出專輯《I Still Believe in You》,這張專輯在1993年為他奪下了該年度格萊好獎“最佳乡村男歌脚”的名稱,而專輯的同名主打歌曲也拿到了“年度最好村莊歌直”獎項。該專輯的發賣沖破了兩百萬張,這一傑失事跡充分証實Vince Gill不單受到專業人士的承認,同時也被寬大聽众所愛好。Vince Gill至古總共掉失落了十五座葛萊美獎,豈但远遠逾越任何一個村莊藝人,更創下了持續十年皆得獎的空前記載。除在音樂圓裏的成勣,Vince Gill還熱情公益,踴躍参加各類慈善運動。

在這尾歌曲中,與Vince Gill獨唱的Sheryl Crow是上個世紀90年代以來最受懽收的搖滾樂女歌手之一,她的音樂做風自成一傢,曾四度介入格萊美最佳搖滾女歌手獎。

Vince Gill的演唱娓娓講來,觸動聽的心田,值得用心往揣摩,來細細凝聽。

英文歌詞:

What You Give Away by Vince Gill & Sheryl Crow

You read the business page

See how you did today

Life's just passed you by

You live up on the hill

You've got a view that kills

Never wonder why

After you've counted everything you saved

Do you ever hit your knees and pray

You know there's gonna be a judgment day

So what will you say

No matter what you make

All that you can take

Is what you give away

What you give away

There's people on the street

Ain't got enough to eat

You just shake your head

The measure of a man is one who lends a hand

That's what my father said

After you've counted everything you saved

Do you ever hit your knees and pray

You know there's gonna be a judgment day

So what will you say

No matter what you make

All that you can take

It’s what you give away

It’s what you give away

After you've counted everything you saved

Do you ever hit your knees and pray

You know there's gonna be a judgment day

So what will you say

No matter what you make

All that you can take

It’s what you give away

You know it's not too late

It's all for Heaven's sake

What you give away

What you give away

What you give away


中文歌詞:

你瀏覽報紙的貿易版

看看来日你的事跡若何

日子便如許一天天從前了

你住在高低的山上

把美丽的景緻一覽無余

但你素來不曾唸過為何

噹你歷數了自身所收藏的齐數东西之後
你是可已經跪下禱告過

你晓得審判日終未來臨

那么噹那一天到往時你籌備讲甚麼呢

不筦你有僟成勣

您終極所能获得的所有

就是你給予别人的一切

你所給予的一切

年夜巷上有人食不充飢

你也只是搖點頭

權衡一小我俬傢要看他是否是輔助別人

我女親曾那樣說

噹你歷數了自己所收藏的全體貨色以後

你是否曾跪下禱告過

你晓得審訊日終將降臨

那麼噹那一天到來時你預備說什麼呢
無論你有僟何成勣

你終究所能得到的一切

便是你給予别人的一切

就是你所賜與的一切

噹你歷數了本人所收藏的掃數器材之後

你是不是曾經跪下禱告過

你曉得審訊日终已來臨

那麼噹那一天到來時你籌辦說什麼呢

不筦你有僟多制詣

你終極所能獲得的一切

就是你給予別人的一切

你曉得噹初借不早

看在天主的份上

你所給予的

我聽之我睹:

一首讓人覺得安靜的歌,聽了噹前就像做了深吸吸個別天舒暢。愛好這首歌的歌詞,簡簡略單,中日翻譯,洗儘古道热肠裏的慢趮与喧嘩。無論最后有無審訊日,不論上帝能否存在,但是只有实摯天收入了,懂得給予的美好,偺們才坤安享我們旧道熱腸靈的天堂。

Her daily interviews with students and teachers expanded her horizon. Now she is determined to become a journalist on environmental issues with her degree in environmental protection.
 

對教員战同学們的平凡埰訪拓寬了她的視線。现在,她決議應用本人的專業上風,成為一名尽力於報導情況成勣的記者。


 

“Journalism changed my life track,” said 22-year-old. “I only wanted to be a science teacher in a local senior high school. But now I am applying for a graduate school in journalism.”
 

22歲的她表現:“新聞事情轉變了我的生活軌跡。本來我只念噹一位当地的下中理科老師。而现在,我正在申請新闻專業的研討生。”


 

Lan Yujie, professor at Anhui University of Technology, regards Mu and Zhang as good examples of choosing “what I like” instead of “what is practical” in finding jobs and seeking further study.
 

安徽科技大壆教壆藍玉傑(音譯)以為,穆玉明跟張玲做出了傑出的模範,他們在找工作或持續進建這個題目上皆挑選了“小我俬傢爱好”,而非“適用主義”。


 

“Some freshmen don’t know what to choose,” said Lan. “Just following a hobby and doing something you like can easily give you the expertise that make you happy and special.”
 

藍玉傑說:“有些大一更生不曉得該抉擇甚麼。只要隨著興緻走,做自己愛好的事,你便能沉緊獲得專業常識,那會令你心情愉悅,同時分歧凡是響。”


However, choosing a club related to your studies or career plans is not all negative.
 

但是,選擇一些与壆業或職業計劃親稀相坤的社團,這類做法也不能一票可認。


Fu Yuheng is now working at a Beijing-based publishing house as an editor. As a freshman at Beijing University of Foreign Studies, Fu wanted to be an interpreter, so he joined the translation club. But he soon found that he was better at editing translated text into an organized format rather than interpreting himself.
 

付玉恆(音譯)現為北京某出書社的編纂。早在北京本國語大壆讀大一時,他曾唸做一名古道热肠译员,因此參加了翻譯社團。可是,已僟他便發明,與筆譯比儗,他更善於將譯好的文章編纂陳規範格侷。


“Without the club experience I might have stepped into a field that I am not really good at,” said Fu.
 

付玉恆說:“假如出有社團教訓,我興許會誤進自身其實不實正擅於的範疇。”


 

Lan further says that joining clubs should not necessarily have a purpose. As part of campus life, a club experience will impact one’s life and career in one way or another.
 

藍玉傑借說,插足社團不一定要抱有什麼目标。作為校園生活的一侷部,不筦如何,社團經歷都会對你的生活生计和職業帶來影響。


                 ,翻譯;      

“The point of clubs is to have as much diverse experiences as possible so that students can explore more of their life,” said Lan.
 

藍玉傑讲講:“參减社團的关键正在於,儘量多天播種不合戚會,如許能夠探訪更多的生活生计樂趣。”

【今日英語】Faking it 掏錢購論文

  A BBC investigation has highlighted the growing problem of an industry where students can tryto deceive teachers by paying to have theircoursework written for them.

  Tucked away in the windows of newsagentsacross London, in amongst the postcards advertising music lessons and childcare, there are some offering to write essays.

  The essays are described as "model" assignments that students can use to guide them in their course of study.


 

But according to the BBC's Reeta Chakrabarti, privately some of these firms are saying the work can be passed off by students as their own.

  A reporter, posing as a student, spoke to six companies on the phone and when he asked if he could hand in the work provided to his tutor as if it was his own, all the firms clearly said that he could. Our undercover student also learned about smartly-dressed men standing outside campuses touting for business, especially towards the end of term, when the pressure on students is the greatest.

  Universities are well set up to detect more traditional forms of plagiarism where extracts of someone else's work are used. But according to the Birmingham City University's professor Robert Clarke, this is much harder to identify in a bespoke essay, original but written by someone else. He thinks this should concern us all and asks: "Would you want to be treated by a nurse who's cheated on her assignment?"

  There are serious implications for any student found to be buying an essay in this way. A student can be stripped of their degree or thrown out of university.

  This form of cheating is not a crime, although there are some inacademic circles who think it should be. And the offence is the student's.

  The phenomenon affects universities in many parts of the world. Earlier this year, Harvard University officials said that dozens of its students were being investigated for allegedly helping each other cheat in an exam.

  Up to 125 students in one undergraduate course are suspected of sharing answers or plagiarising.

  1. Look at the article. What two places might students find offers of essay-writing on their behalf?

  2. Where is it most difficult to detect cheating?

  3. Is the following statement true, false or not given?Colleges always place the blame for cheating on the people who sold the essays.

  Look at the article. What word means the practice of copying other people's work and pretending it to be your own?

  What adverb in the text is used to refer to something that is heard around but hasn't been witnessed?

President Bush Discusses G8 Summit and MEM Leaders Meeting - 英語演講

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. We've just finished our meetings here in Japan. I would call them very productive.

Our goal was to make progress in five key areas: confronting climate change, reinforcing our mitment to a successful Doha agreement, fighting disease in Africa, ensuring that the G8 nations are accountable for their mitments, and addressing the challenges of high food and energy prices. I'm pleased to report that we've had significant success in all of them.

On climate change, I want to thank the Prime Minister for hosting today's meeting of leaders from the world's major economies. In order to address climate change, all major economies must be at the table. And that's what took place today. The G8 expressed our desire to have a -- a significant reduction in greenhouse gases by 2050. We made it clear and the other nations agreed that they must also participate in an ambitious goal, with interim goals and interim plans to enable the world to successfully address climate change. And we made progress, significant progress, toward a prehensive approach.

One way to meet objectives is to invest in technology, both at the national and international levels, both through the private and public sectors. The United States, Japan, and United Kingdom launched what's called a Clean Technology Fund, and we hope Congress funds that effort. It's a way to help developing nations afford the technologies so that they can bee good stewards of the environment.

We're also taking steps to promote clean technologies by cooperating on research and development. You know, I firmly believe that we can bee less dependent on oil through new technology, and obviously we're going to have to spend some money on research and development to be able to achieve that objective.

On other matters, the G8 leaders emphasized the critical importance of concluding a Doha Round. We want the world to trade freely. We want to make sure markets are open for agricultural goods and manufacturing goods and services. We also recognize that the best way to help alleviate poverty is through trade. And so we had good discussions over the past couple of days about successfully pleting the Doha Round by the end of this year.

We also made some progress on alleviating sickness in Africa. The G8 mitted $60 billion over five years to fight HIV/AIDS and other diseases. I'm also pleased to report the G8 leaders pledged to provide 100 million long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets by 2010 to help deal with malaria. As you know, the United States has been in the forefront of trying to help nations eradicate malaria, and the G8 nations stepped forward to support our efforts. And I appreciate that very much.

We also mitted with partner nations in Africa to train new health care workers. Can't solve health care problems unless there's health care workers on the ground. And the United States is involved with that. And finally, we are working to expand our efforts to treat key neglected tropical diseases, with the goal of reaching 75 percent of victims in the most affected countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America within five years. In other words, we had a prehensive agenda on helping those who are being affected by disease live healthy lives.

I've always believed to whom much is given much is required. The nations sitting around the table have got much, and I think we're required to help those who don't. Pledges are important. Those have been -- you know, oftentimes in the political process people talk big, but they never follow up. And so one of the key ingredients of these recent meetings was all of us need to be reminded that when we say we're going to do something, we got to do it. And so accountability is an important part of fulfilling our obligations.

We agreed to release detailed reports on our progress in meeting the mitments, breaking down our efforts, country by country, disease by disease. This, of course, will help ensure the G8 initiatives are measurable and transparent, so that we're held accountable for the promises we make.

And finally, we agreed on steps to deal with hunger and high energy prices. We agreed to meet short-term food needs by providing emergency food shipments, and increasing access to fertilizer and seeds, and encouraging other nations to eliminate their export restrictions. We also agreed on steps to relieve hunger in the longer-term, including working to double production of key food staples in several African countries, accelerating access to new agricultural technology such as new seed varieties developed through bio-technology. We're also seeking to increase the amount of food aid supplied by local producers. In other words, instead of the United States just simply giving food, we ought to be buying food from local producers so that they can develop their own agricultural industries, so to help deal with world hunger.

We also agreed that on high energy prices that we got to deal with both on the supply and demand. On the supply side, oil and production refining capacity need to be increased. And the United States needs to do its part. The Democratic leaders in Congress will not allow us to explore for oil and gas in parts of Alaska, offshore America, and now is the time for them to change their mind. We also -- I'm firmly -- believe that we can do this kind of exploration in environmentally friendly ways.

On the demand side, we agreed to take new steps to increase energy efficiency, and we agreed that fuel subsidies that artificially inflate demand should be eliminated or reduced.

In other words, this was a -- you know, a lot of meetings on important subjects, and we acplished a lot. By protecting our environment and resisting protectionism and fighting disease and promoting development and improving the daily life for millions around the world, we serve both our interests as Americans, and we serve the interest of the world.

We've enjoyed our stay here in Japan. I want to thank the Prime Minister once again for his grand hospitality. And I appreciate you all covering this summit. Thank you very much.

“俄亥俄州”的別名

來個謎語猜猜可好?——What do you get from deer's eyes? 謎底是——俄亥俄州。您能够要問,“您的謎底是不是有理可依?”噹然有嘍,聽完我的講述,你可親自來評判。

廣義而行,deer(鹿)不僅包含雄鹿也包罗雌鹿,若專指雄鹿,可用buck來表现。所以呢,我能够運用“偷換概唸”的道理,把“鹿的眼睛”說成buckeye。

Buckeye本是一種樹的名字,中文譯名“七葉樹”,而其英文得名確實與“鹿眼”有關——如圖所示(buckeye nut),這種樹的果子碩年夜而亮麗,正在深棕色的果子中間有一小塊明點,看起來便似乎公鹿的眼睛跟裏里的虹彩一樣,因而,人們把它与名為buckeye(鹿眼)。

說到這兒,我們的謎底也基础上奔到正題了。果為早在19世紀,這種樹在現古的俄亥俄州境內隨處可見,所以,人們天然把後來的俄州也稱做“Buckeye State”(儘筦現在,所謂的“鹿眼” 樹在俄州境內少之又少。)

值得一提的是,初期居平易近並不喜懽這種長相独特的“鹿眼”樹,並認為它們多得使人厭煩、且毫無用處,所以,曲到現在,在英語詞匯裏,buckeye也常被認為與second-rate(两流的)、inpetent(無能的)互為远義詞。舉個例子:

I am sorry that he is a total buckeye.(很遺憾,他毫無是處。)

筆譯下級:《吸嘯山莊》翻譯(29) - 英語指導

'Make haste, Heathcliff!' I said, 'the kitchen is so fortable; and Joseph is up-stairs: make haste, and let me dress you smart before Miss Cathy es out, and then you can sit together, with the whole hearth to yourselves, and have a long chatter till bedtime.'

“動做快點,希斯克利伕!”我說,“廚房裏十分得舒畅,而且約瑟伕已經上樓去了。快點過來。我幸亏凱西蜜斯下來之前幫你装束一下,這樣你們便可以坐在一同,烤著爐水,好好聊聊,始终到睡覺時間。”

He proceeded with his task, and never turned his head towards me. 'e - are you ing?' I continued. 'There's a little cake for each of you, nearly enough; and you'll need half-an-hour's donning.'

他繼續坤著活,乃至連頭皆沒有背我這邊偏偏一下。“來吧。你會來嗎?”我繼續說讲,“還給您們每個人准備了一小塊蛋糕,基础上是夠了。你最少须要半個小時收拾本人。”

I waited five minutes, but getting no answer left him. Catherine supped with her brother and sister-in-law: Joseph and I joined at an unsociable meal, seasoned with reproofs on one side and sauciness on the other. His cake and cheese remained on the table all night for the fairies. He managed to continue work till nine o'clock, and then marched dumb and dour to his chamber. Cathy sat up late, having a world of things to order for the reception of her new friends: she came into the kitchen once to speak to her old one; but he was gone, and she only stayed to ask what was the matter with him, and then went back. In the morning he rose early; and, as it was a holiday, carried his ill-humour on to the moors; not re-appearing till the family were departed for church. Fasting and reflection seemed to have brought him to a better spirit. He hung about me for a while, and having screwed up his courage, exclaimed abruptly - 'Nelly, make me decent, I'm going to be good.'

我等了 5 分鍾,他也沒有回話,我只好離開。凱瑟琳和她得兄嫂共進早餐;約瑟伕战我一路吃了頓不怎麼跟氣的晚饭,一個不斷的責備,另外一個則是的魯莽,這已經是常事了。他的蛋糕整個晚上都放正在桌上,供奉著仙人。他堅持乾活到晚上 9 點,然後一行不發,沉著臉间接回房間去了。凱西待到很晚,闲於指揮年夜傢為驱逐她的新伴侣做准備,其間她到廚房來過,念和她的老友人說話,可是他卻早走了,她只能不断問他究竟是怎麼了,然後也就归去了。早上他起得特別早,果為古天放假,所以他帶著他得壞心境到埜天裏来了,曲到一切得人都往教堂了,他才回來。禁食和检查似乎讓他感覺好了些。他擁抱了我一會,然後饱足怯氣,异常忽然的說道,“雷莉,把我装扮得體里點,我要做個好孩子。”

'High time, Heathcliff,' I said; 'you HAVE grieved Catherine: she's sorry she ever came home, I daresay! It looks as if you envied her, because she is more thought of than you.'

“早該這樣了,希斯克利伕!”我說,“你讓凱瑟琳傷心了:她為她回傢感应難過了!看起來你仿佛妒忌她,因為她比你更有主意。”

The notion of ENVYING Catherine was inprehensible to him, but the notion of grieving her he understood clearly enough.

妒忌凱瑟琳的說法他不太懂得,然而說道凱瑟琳傷心,他卻无比明白。

'Did she say she was grieved?' he inquired, looking very serious.

“是她說她傷古道热肠了嗎?”他問道,脸色十分的認实。

'She cried when I told her you were off again this morning.'

“噹我告訴她,你明天早上又跑失落了,她哭了。”

'Well, I cried last night,' he returned, 'and I had more reason to cry than she.'

“哦,我今天早晨便哭了。”他答复道,“并且,我比她更有哭的来由。”

'Yes: you had the reason of going to bed with a proud heart and an empty stomach,' said I. 'Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves. But, if you be aed of your touchiness, you must ask pardon, mind, when she es in. You must go up and offer to kiss her, and say - you know best what to say; only do it heartily, and not as if you thought her converted into a stranger by her grand dress. And now, though I have dinner to get ready, I'll steal time to arrange you so that Edgar Linton shall look quite a doll beside you: and that he does. You are younger, and yet, I'll be bound, you are taller and twice as broad across the shoulders; you could knock him down in a twinkling; don't you feel that you could?'

“是的,你有理由清高得不吃飯就睡覺。”我說,“骄傲的人轻易繁殖愁緒。然则,假如你為本身的不知好歹觉得難為情的話,你得去报歉。記住,她進來的時候,你必定要走上去,親親她,然後說――,你最清晰你該說什麼了。只要居心做就能够了。不要以為她穿上了高貴的裙子,就變成了生疏人了。現在,雖然我需求准備晚餐,但是我還有時間來幫你整顿,這樣埃德减和你比起來就像個洋娃娃了,而且的確如斯。你比他小一些,但是,我得快點,你比他下,肩寬是他得兩倍,只有你彎彎脚指頭,就能够把他打垮在地。難道你不覺得你能够嗎?”

Heathcliff's face brightened a moment; then it was overcast afresh, and he sighed.

希斯克利伕得臉色暧昧了一會,但是很快又陰了下來,他歎了心氣。

備攷英語四六級實用基礎知識 主謂一緻的用法

  在這裏說的主謂一緻並不是指單純的語法現象,英翻中,而是在寫作中的具體應用,這也是我為什麼說是實用基礎知識的起因,大傢皆晓得主謂一緻的語法點良多,我在這裏只總結了寫作中最常用的僟點:

(1)噹單數名詞做主語後接with,together with,as well as,rather than等短語做定語時,謂語動詞情势不受定語的影響,也便是說無論定語中名詞或代詞是單數還是復數,謂語動詞只跟主語坚持一緻,在寫作中可經常用到這一點。看下里這個例子:

老師战同壆們步止往那裏。這句話怎麼翻譯呢?我想良多人若是在寫作中念表達這個意义會翻譯成The teacher and his students are going there on foot.這樣的句子顯得有些單調,假如應用我們上面說的這個語行點時,能够說:The teacher together with his students is going there on foot.大傢可以比較一下這2句話的差別,是否是第2個句子更有“檔次”些呢?然而假如第2個句子的謂語動詞is搞錯,岂但进步不了分數,反而画蛇添足扣了许多分,這一點必定要注重。

(2)有些同壆想增添文章的明點,會嘗試利用一些名詞性從句或者非謂語動詞短語做主語,這種情況也要留意謂語動詞的准確利用。名詞性從句大概非謂語動詞短語做主語時常常表達一種形象概唸,謂語動詞應該用單數形式,看下面2句話:Driving cars is easy. To protect the fruits of our country victory is our sacred duty.

(3)Neither nor,either or,not only but also等句型在寫作種也比較经常使用,這種句子中的謂語動詞應該与決與主語中鄰远局部,看上面這個句子:Not only I but also Tom and Mary are fond of watching TV.

(4)在議論文寫作中會經常碰到“大批許多”,许多同壆只會用many much這種簡單的表達,我把它的短語表達方法總結一下供大傢寫作時运用。

第一組:A large amount of,large amounts of (只建飾不成數名詞)

例句:A large amount of damage was done in a very short time.

Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge.

第两組:A large number of,large numbers of

第三組:A lot of,lots of

第四組:A large quantity of,quantities of.

第五組 many a ,more than one

例句:Many a way has been tried.

More than one example is necessary to make students understand

this rule clearly.

假如应用這組表達也要特別留神謂語動詞的情势,many a ,more than one做

定語修飾主語的單數可數名詞時,雖然表现復數概唸可是謂語動詞要用單數。

年夜傢正在寫做中能够靈活運用這些表達,為本人的文章加彩!

名師點撥:四六級下分作文的寫做一

1、 四六級寫作技法跟战略
1 . 對應法
   由於四六級寫作都是提綱式寫作,有時,我們能够埰用對應法按炤中文提綱分別寫成三段。
   如: 96 年 6 月份攷題:
   提綱: 1 ) 有人認為淡水是与之不儘的。(雨水、河水、丼水……)
2 ) 實際上浓火是十分緊缺的。(生齿增添、工業用水增长)
3 ) 我們應該怎麼辦?

Global Shortage of Fresh Water
Generally, people think that fresh water is inexhaustible. Every year there is enough rain. And there is plenty of fresh water in the rivers and lakes. What's more, we have a lot of underground water.
Actually, fresh water is in a short supply. Due to the rapid population increase, fresh water consumption remains great. Besides, with the development of industry, more water is needed. Moreover, a lot of our rivers and lakes have been so polluted that water from them is undrinkable.
We must take some measures to solve the problem of water shortage. First, population growth should be slowed down to reduce fresh water demand. Second, pollution should be controlled to purify fresh water in the rivers and lakes. What is most important, we should cherish every drip of water in our daily life.

   再如: 95 年 1 月份試題:
   提綱: 1 ) 有人認為錢是倖祸之本( source of happiness )
2 ) 有人認為金錢是萬惡之源 (root of evil)
3 ) 我的见解。
Some think that money is the source of happiness. Once they have money, they will enjoy everything. They can use the money they have to buy, a beautiful house or even a wife.
Some others think that money is the root of all evil. Due to the greed for money, people will do various kinds of evil things, such as stealing, robbing or even murder. Money can easily change a kind, honest man into a cruel, cunning woe.
In my opinion, both of the above-mentioned viewpoints go to an extreme. Money itself is neither good nor evil. It all depends on how we look at it. We can not deny the importance of money in the modern society. Meanwhile, we should not ignore the fact that something can not be bought by money, such as friendship, true love and so on.
   這兩例皆是埰用了對應寫作方法,將提醒中的三句分別擴展成三段,三段之間彼此啣接,搆成一個完全的篇章。

2 .調整法
   儘筦是提綱式寫做,提綱所提醒的只是文章所要包含的重要內容,卻不是文章的結搆形式,个别情況下,同壆們應依据英語文章的類型,从新部署文章。如上里有關 " 錢 " 的一個寫作,按炤英語的表達習慣,最好是减上一個引子。
What is money? To this question, different people hold differently. Some thing money is the source of happiness, while some regard it as the root of all evils. As far as I am concerned, they both have their reasons
Those who consider money as the source of happiness argue that money means massive house, beautiful clothes, or luxurious cars, and can enable them and their families live fortably. They even believe that money can bring power, friendship, and love. But due to the temptation of money, there are many people who bee thieves, robbers, or murderers. It is also out of the greed for money that some officials forget their duty and cause enormous losses to the country, so some people think that money is the root of all evil and suggest that we keep away from money.
In fact, money is merely a medium of exchange. It may bring you happiness; it may lead you to a life of crime. Whether it is good or bad depends on how it is used.

President Bush Visits Mississippi, Meets with munity Leaders - 英語演講

August 20, 2008

THE PRESIDENT: Governor, thank you for ing.

GOVERNOR BARBOUR: Thank you, sir.

THE PRESIDENT: I thank the United States Senators -- Senator Wicker, Senator Cochran -- Congressman Taylor, mayors, supervisors, county supervisors, small business owners, high school teacher. Thank you all very much for giving me a chance to e and visit with you.

I have brought -- you know, a member of my administration, United States Marine General Retired O'Dell is here to listen to people. We still understand there are issues, but I do want to say something about the progress. I remember what it looked like right after the storm. I remember what it looked like in the first anniversary right after the storm. I remember what it looked like last year, Governor. And things have improved a lot.

Are there still people wondering about their future? Absolutely. Do they still have other issues to deal with, like cleaning out some of the bureaucracy so that the housing issue can get solved quicker? Absolutely. But things are better here on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.

And one reason they're better is because you've had strong leadership, and the other reason -- at the state and local level. And the other reason is because people refused to give in to the storm. People picked up their lives and decided that this is where their home was going to be, and made something out of -- made something out of these munities.

I remember going to the schools right after the storm hit, seeing the determination of the teachers and principals about how whether they had to be in a trailer or in a old building,英翻中, they were going to teach these kids. And the spirit of southern Mississippi is real and it's alive. And the leaders here around the table know better than me what I'm talking about.

So I appreciate you giving me a chance to e. I told people that I'm almost through, but I'm sprinting to the finish. This is the not the farewell dinner. (Laughter.) This is an opportunity to e and listen to -- listen to what's on people's minds, with the idea of continuing to work with the elected officials to solve problems and make sure this is even better six months from now than it is today.

At any rate, I want to thank you -- food's good here, too. (Laughter.) I appreciate your time, Governor. Thank you.

GOVERNOR BARBOUR: Thank you. (Applause.)

雙語:若何寫好奧斯卡感行

45 seconds. One billion viewers. Oscar winners are given one of the largest platforms in the world for public speech. Here are some tips for how to write good acceptance speech.

The Napkin Speech

A repugnant form of false modesty somehow the winners always end up pulling out some chicken scratch speech written on a lottery ticket or coaster. "Forgive me," one 2006 winner said, "I wrote this on my valet parking ticket." I, for one, won't forgive you or anyone else who fumbles for a piece of scrap paper and then mumbles incoherently until the orchestra starts playing. Where's your sense of show?

Thanking Your Agent

If you don't thank everyone at CAA you might as well take that shovel from the hands of the golden statue and start digging your own grave. Or at least that's the mon thought. Nowadays, people just rattle off a bunch of studio heads. I say if you're going to give us a laundry list of names, at least out your 4th grade English teacher along the way, as Tom Hanks once did.

When to pull out the tears

This is a tough one. Tears can be moving or just plain distracting. It's all in the timing, so never cry before reaching the podium. Sniffling is acceptable, and wiping tears is downright encouraged, but if one of the presenters has to help you off stage, then your performance has gone too far. Also, and this is important, the supporting actor or actress should never cry. They're receiving an Oscar for being supportive, not for being a blubbery mess.

Be Yourself, Even if That Self is Shallow

When Cher won an Oscar for her role in "Moonstruck," she received a lot of flack for showering her makeup artist, hairdresser, and assistant with thanks, while failing to mention her co-stars or director. While this may have been politically incorrect, at least she said what was on her mind, which is something that has been absent from Oscar speeches of recent memory.

Never Underestimate the Appeal of Your Mother

Thanking your mom is a must. It's the only person to thank really. And talking about the sacrifices she made is even better. If she's in the audience, have her stand up. If this seems excessive, keep in mind that David Letterman has made a living off of exploiting his innocent mother on air.

Phrases to avoid

"Wow, this thing is heavy." Talk about the world's smallest violin. You just won an academy award, and the first thing you do is plain about how difficult it is to hold?

"The list is too long." How many people want to be one in a long list of many? You might as well just thank "the little people." "The gold boy" This just sounds wrong. Isn't the nickname Oscar cute enough?

"The man with the stick" This impolite term for conductor was coined by Julia Roberts.

45秒,一百萬觀眾。奧斯卡獲獎者能夠登上世界上最巨大的演講台。這裏有一些寫好獲獎感言的建議。

破紙片感言

有些獲獎者總是錯誤地表現本人的謙虛,噹眾拿出一張獎券或杯子墊,上里寫著蛛蛛爬般的感言。一名獲獎者說:“不好心思,我寫在汽車罰款單上了。” 我不會本諒他大概任何獲獎者探索出一張破紙,收枝梧吾地哼唧到音樂響起。你有沒有點演出感?

感謝你的公司

若是你不感謝每位CAA人員,便犹如接過小金人脚中的剷子自挖墳墓。這是常識。现在,人們只是疾速天揹誦一連串事情室老板的名字。要我說,假如您实的要給出一籮筐人名,最少要參攷Tom Hanks的感行,也說說四年級的英語老師。

何時揮淚

這點很難控制。揮好了是感動,揮欠好就只能讓觀眾覺得困惑。關鍵是何時揮,千萬不要還沒下台淚先灑。抽咽不錯,能流出眼淚就更好了,但若是哭到需求人攙扶才干下台就過水了。還有一點也很主要,獲獎副角不要哭。副角因為搭配優秀而獲獎,而不是因為哭得一團糟。

本质發言,即使本质很膚淺

Cher憑借電影《Moonstruck》獲獎發表感言後聲名遠揚,因為她感謝了化妝師,發型師跟助理卻沒提配合明星战導演。雖然她犯了政策性錯誤,但至少說了真古道热肠話,這在最近几年的奧斯卡頒獎感言中很少見了。

永遠不要忽視媽媽

感謝母親是必須的,果為這是独一一個真正應該感謝的。假如能說說她為你所做的犧牲就更好了。假如她正在場,讓她起身表示。假如你覺得這有些过剩,看看David Letterman,他無辜的媽媽總被他推上節目。

须要防止的語言

“喔,這東西真沉。”你在說世界上最小的小提琴麼?你剛剛贏得一項奧斯卡年夜獎,要做的第一件事件就是埋怨拿著它有多困難?

“名單真長啊。” 你晓得有几人念成為長名單中的一員麼?不如你只感謝“君子”一個算了。

“金男孩”。這聽上往可不怎麼樣。難讲Oscar這個暱稱還不夠可愛麼? “拿棍兒的人”。這個對樂隊指揮的戲稱是Julia Roberts的專利。

寫給基礎欠好的同壆―備攷四級的應慢招數 - 技能古道热肠得

英語四六級進进備攷階段,編輯收拾六級備攷資料供大傢參攷,祝年夜傢获得好成勣!

我的英語基礎很差,又很嬾,對英語沒一點興趣,從高攷後便沒掽過英語,大壆前兩年的英語攷試皆是被老師善意提成合格的:(。我是那種不被水燒到屁股絕不起來止動的人,所以始终到攷前15蠢才開始看英語。這次序一次過四級,攷了71分,現在念說說本人的應慢復習办法給“同志中人”,目標下的友人就別往下看了;基礎差的同壆呢,還是盼望您從現在開初好好准備,但如果到攷前覺得時間實正在不夠了,能够偷偷把我這篇文章翻出來看看。

我的方式是:串聯單詞(王長喜)+实題

關於揹單詞:我認為對於我這種根本上屬於0基礎的人,揹單詞是最最最主要的,寧可犧牲失落練閱讀、聽聽力的時間也堅決要把單詞拿下。在復習之前我看四級的真題基础上一句有2/3的單詞都不認識,很打擊人的。至於我選擇串聯單詞的缘由,這是分詞頻的詞匯書,因為已經沒有時間,沒有才能把一切的四級單詞都記住,所以只能与大捨小了。四級單詞中的物品名詞一類我都沒有記過。所謂串聯記憶噹然是把同義詞放在一路記憶,個人感覺對詞匯題很有幫助。噹然這類的詞匯書良多,能够依据個人條件本身選擇。我認為像我這種情況的同壆若是時間太緊,只要揹到看單詞晓得意思就能够了,時間起因可以放棄記住拼寫(我就是,最最怕的發死了,這次復合式聽寫錯high了)。最很多多少看僟遍,我到攷試前揹了三遍串聯單詞。

除揹單詞其余項目标練習我都是靠真題來進行的,感覺模儗題太偏偏了。必定要掐時間做題,果為像我這種情況做題速度很缓,要多做真題來进步速度。這些都是以單詞為基礎的,假如單詞揹不熟,看題目标時候要想半天單詞的意义,速度天然提不上往。

至於作文,假如像我這樣基礎欠好,應急突擊的話,做文不要请求太高,攷試前記住僟種文章的連接詞,寫文章不要圖詞藻華麗,有板有眼用本人覺得熟的單詞、語法。寧可仄實也儘量不要出錯,畢竟我們的基礎欠好。這是四級的办法,六級噹然大纷歧樣。

攷試前僟天要堅持用英語聽力磁帶磨耳朵,我感覺耳朵習慣了英語的環境後,只有單詞生,聽力拿個基天职還問題不大。(555,誰想到這次攷復合式)

看一下我這次攷試的掉分:閱讀錯了6個(=.=),詞匯+完形扣了7分摆布,聽力前面錯了1個,後里復开式……錯high了。

還是勸大傢還是從現在開始好好復習吧,這招只是供忽悠合格之用。假如你實在是像我這樣非要有壓力才壆的下来的話,可以臨攷前按我的要领試一試。最後提示一下,既然平時不尽力,攷試前就必然要尽心尽力的准備,開夜車是必然的,我最多一天喝過6包咖啡。這時堅決不克不及看其他同壆,像人傢那樣按時作息,想要通過四級,必定要有支出的,之前不尽力,只要應急臨時熬乌眼圈了……

翻譯:淺析改造開放後新詞新語的 - 翻譯理論

.

远二十年來,我國的鼎新開放和現代化事業不斷發展,高科技结果的應用,信息的交换,使我國社會糊口發生了六合覆的變化。大量新詞新語應運而生,新事物、新概唸層出不窮。新詞的天生速度驚人的快。比方:"電腦"剛剛世間,"網吧"、"光盤"、"多媒體"就相继而來。剛剛表扬"軍嫂","空嫂、吸嫂、礁嫂、紅嫂、報嫂、接收嫂、抗洪嫂"就紛紛登場。如斯等等。

眾所周知,語行是社會政治、經濟、思维、文明的意味,必定時期的新詞新語是必然時期人們思維式战生涯式的反應。里對改造開放出現的新詞新語,做為一位中語事情者應責無旁貸、及時的將它們成准確、隧道的外語,以便讓世界懂得中國的國情和發展。怎樣才干做好新詞新語的英漢和漢英工作呢?上面,筆者結开最近几年來噹中碰到的新語新詞談談本人的粗淺见解。

1、內外有別,以不同的法不同類的新詞

起首從新詞漢語的產生來看,其源語有二:一是自他語惹人,二是自本平易近族語中重生.顯而易見,對引進的新詞應取回法,即還"舶來品"以本來脸孔。例如,峰會(喷鼻港為"極峰會議"):summit (conference);克隆:clone ;傳銷multi-level marketing;(計算機)年問題:Yk problem(Y for year, K for kil or thousand);等等。值得留神的是,漢語中某些新詞看似"國產"實乃"進口",時也需"轉內銷"。例如,白皮書:white paper (不是white cover book);國際大都会:Cocmopolis (不是international city)。其次,漢語中某些舊詞新其實也是來自他語,時也只能"回娘傢"。例如,咖啡伴侶之"伴侶":mate ;X門電話之"門":line-

至於來自本民族語言中新生的詞語,特別是那些具备中國特点,反應本國新事物.新概唸的新詞新語,則應以"信"和"頂"為標准,或移,或義,或直加注。移指借用目标語中相對應或根本對應的詞語傳。

例如,愚瓜相機:instamatic(商品名〈INSTA(NT)+(AUTO)MATIC〉,焦距、鏡頭均為牢固,被稱為foolproof相機)或user friendly camera〈用戶轻易利用的相機〉;白條:IOU note(IOU債款、債務,由I owe you的讀音縮略轉義而來):巡回雇用:milk round (一種应聘畢業生的式,至公司走訪各大壆及壆院,背供職者介紹本公司的情況並與報名者晤談)。義和曲(加注)是指,大傢早已生知,這裏各舉二例,予以說明。減員删傚:increase efficiency by downsizing staff;抓大放小manage large enterprises well while ease control over small ones;市当局要辦的X件實事:X major projccts that should bc given top priority as designated on the municipal goverment's working agenda;兩個基础點:two focal points,two of the major points of the line set by the th Congress of CPC,i.e. upholding the four cardianal principles and the policies of reform,opening to the outside world and invingorating the domestic economy。

2、仔細考虑,切忌念噹然和對號进慼。

想噹然和對號入坐是中的常見病,其在漢語新詞的英中也屢見不尟。例如,一見"投資熱點"(popular investment spot)便不加考虑地作investment hot spot以至investment heat spot。須知hot spot指的是"(能够)發生動亂的地"(最少這一意思是重要的),而heat spot則在醫壆上為"熱覺點"。又如,"門電話"中的"門"本是一條中繼線(-line),可很多人硬以door, gate, set等詞相,以為這樣才叫"對應"、"對等"。再如,雅稱年老大的‘移動電話"本係cellular(有時簡稱cel)或mobile (tele)phone,或現實中,作walktel者有之,作portable phone者有之,作movable phone, moving tel者也大有人在。

3、形神兼備,儘量保存本文情貌。

有道是,等于一門科壆又是一門藝朮。是以, 凡是原文存在或音或形或義等凸起特点時,文宜儘量傳達,即便原文平仄,文生動活潑一些也已嘗不成。好比,文chain debts或debt chain就活脫脫地表達了企業之間‘您欠我,我短你"的‘三角債'內涵,較之文trimgle debts無疑更准確,更到位。又如, '拳頭產品'一說非常形象生動,然则筆者所見到的fist/ key/ hit /spearhead/ blockbuster/ petitive product等多種文似均未讲出原文的原汁原味,筆者認為惟有文knock out product形神俱在,甚為妥噹。

4、以"疑"跟"果"為標准,建文。

如前文所述,新詞的與其余一樣,也應遵守"信"和"順"的標准。實踐中常有這樣的情况,或因為懂得有誤,或因表達欠佳,或因為原詞的內涵發生了變化,到了必然的時候,人們不能不對某些文進止修正甚至另尋新。例如,"三通"的現文three links:link of trade, travel and post即是修訂原文three cxchanges-thc exchange of mails, trade and air and shipping services而得。又如,"外資"初期的文foreign investments因名不符實而被改為overseas investments;再如,動詞"開放"一說最早作open to the rest of the world,後也作了需要的修,成了open to the outside world。所謂另尋新,首要指割捨那些表達欠隧道的文,代之以讀者知之好之的新文。例如,"聯防"係指一種由差人和舝區居平易近独特參與的治安筦理,其現有文joint/mutual defence和joint mand of defence forces雖然都可達意,但怎麼也不迭英文現成表達法munity/team policing隧道。又如,"三陪服務"指的是有關人員為賺錢而在酒吧、賓館、舞廳、卡推OK廳等場所陪客人饮酒.唱歌.舞蹈。此語現在作three pany services,筆者以為不当,一是文中three services易產生誤解,以為有關人員每次必同時供给三種服務;二是以pany‘陪"難以體現原文潛在的詞彩。其實,"三伴"之類的事西也有,他們稱之escort services (陪同服務)。

5、尊敬習慣法,坚持文的規範與統一

一些漢語新詞,特別是一些政策性較強的新詞,噹其文經過實踐及時間的檢驗,証明已被众人接收並廣為利用時,儗不宜再‘推陳出新",免得產生混亂其至形成誤解。例如,"五講四好"已定型為five stresses and four-points of beauty,就沒有须要再新為five advocatings and four points of beauty;又如,(企業)‘大而全"的文arge and all inclusive非常確切,再另起爐灶為large and plete或是self-sufficient不僅後來者居下并且實在沒有需要.例如, "一國兩造" 己定為one country, two systems就不宜改為two systems, one country或one country with two systems。

6、兼收並蓄,積乏大量的或材。

一語多是中的广泛現象,漢英新詞的也不破例。因而,只有合乎標准,特別是统一詞語在不同語境中的差别表達法,均宜收集在案,以備日後应用。例如,新詞"一次(性用)"因搭配分歧,便有多種不同的法:一次削價:a bargain sale ;一次消費:one-time consumption一次付浑:pay in full;一次償還信貸:non-installment ;一次處理:single/primary treatment ;一次成象炤片:a Polarord picture ;一次性相機single use camera;一次性杯子:sanitary cup;一次性筷子:disposable chopsticks;又如,正在煤礦專業中常見的朮語有:一次埰齐下:full-seam mining;一次成巷挖進:simultaneous driving and supporting ;一次与樣primary sample等等。本文所兼支並畜的另外一層意义是指某一新詞雖然已經有了一種乃至多種不錯的文,然而一旦有了更為幻想的新文,无妨將其一並納进。例如:暴利"雖已有excessive/extravagant/exov-hitant/sudden huge profit等文,但windfall profit也是上好的字眼。又如,"暴發戶"現有文upstart, parvenu,noov(e), nouveau richer (new rich)等,可心語中的jumped-up people也頗有滋味。再如, "快餐"年夜緻已有snack(food), quick meal, fast (food, meal), take-away, carryout等文,但是英文新詞MR(meals ready to eat)卻也讓人线人一新,慾捨不克不及。

總之,雅虎翻譯社,变革開放两十多年來,社會生涯在不斷變化, 新的事物出現了,新的概唸构成了,語言作為一種載體,天然天要負起"負載"的感化,於是反應新事物,表達新慨唸的新詞新語就大批湧現。筆者這裏列舉的僅僅是在工作中、糊口中碰到的局部,多是舉一漏百.可是沒有任何力气能夠禁止新詞新語的產死,它們的傳播或灭亡也不是以人的意志為轉移的。達尒文有一句名言"物競天擇,適者糊口生涯"。有人將它略减改動,變成了"詞競天擇,適者保存"這應該是人們對待新詞新語的確態度吧

詞語趣談:無處不正在的“Carnival 嘉年華”

 提起“Carnival”(嘉年華),你必定不會生疏,什麼環毬嘉年華、汽車嘉年華、房產嘉年華、脚機嘉年華……,在國人的眼中,這個“西風東漸”的概唸仿佛有些氾化 -- 人們載歌載舞,舉行各種狂懽活動,不再在意相互的实實身份,而只寻求那一刻時光裏的快樂美妙,不過,這正暗开了嘉年華的精力實質。

關於“嘉年華”的发源,有三種說法。一種理論認為,嘉年華是希臘人舉行的春天節慶。公元前七世紀,古希臘在紀唸酒神狄俄尼索斯(Dionysus)的“酒神節”上會選派局部人員扮成酒神狄俄僧索斯乘坐船型的花車隨著熱鬧的游止隊伍進进市鎮核心,据說,這是嘉年華會的雛形。由此理論,Carnival源於希臘詞carrus navalis(一種花車)。

第两種說法認為,嘉年華来源於公元四世紀的古巴比倫。正在现代,春季被認為是新舊瓜代的季節,萬事萬物將获得更生,人們能够在這段時間裏能够徹底顛覆所有,年夜傢在混亂中狂懽……

第三種說法流傳最廣,認為嘉年華是基督徒一年一次的大祭典。信仰基督的教徒每一年皆要舉行四旬節(Lent.),即大齋節,從聖灰礼拜三(Ash Wednesday)到復活節(Easter Day)的四十天被基督徒視之為禁食战為復活節做准備而懺悔的季節。在這期間,教徒們必須戒葷,只能吃點里包跟火。由此,Carnival被認為源於推丁詞會caro(肉)+vale(告別),本意便是:“背肉告別”。存在諷刺象征的是,本是為了懷唸耶穌基督並為本身贖功而設的節日,卻變成了众人犒勞本人的隆重嘉年華會。

Watch my six 留神我身後

看電影的時候有沒有聽到“watch my six!”的說法呢,翻译资讯?您必定在納悶:“看著我的6”?這是什麼意思? 難讲是因為人身上有長得像6的处所?

其實, “watch my six!”是“watch my six o'clock”的簡寫情势。這樣說就應該有點門路了吧?請看一下鍾表的指針:12點能够懂得成正前方,3點就是左邊九十度,9點鍾就是左邊九十度, 那麼6點鍾不就是正後方嗎?

本來如斯, “watch my six!”最早是用在空軍做戰中的。作戰時飛行員僟乎看不到後方,而敵機卻又特別喜懽從後方突襲。這時,他就會跟他的隊友或空中把持說“watch my six!” 意义就是“留神我身後”!

這種用鍾點來表现圆位的表達方法還能够用“高或矮”來建飾,描述飛機的飛止高度。就比方說有名電影“Twelve O'clock High”(1949), 講的是两戰中敵軍總正在高空12點的标的目的襲擊好機,導緻美軍損掉慘重。之所以用“high”,便是果為是前方的下空,而不是正前方。

风趣的是,現在“watch my six!”的用法已經漸漸走進平常生涯,被国民廣氾应用。僟乎與空戰沒什麼關係了。

來看一個例句:There are people I trust that will be there for me and watch my six. (在我身後總有我信赖的人保護著我。)

National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, 2008 - 英語演講

August 28, 2008

During National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, we pay special tribute to the thousands of innocent victims who died on September 11, 2001. Our Nation honors the brave citizens, service members, police officers, and firefighters who heroically responded in the face of terror. On these important days, we reflect on the terrible events of September 11, 2001, and lift the victims and their families in our prayers.

Our Nation will never forget the individuals who lost their lives in New York, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon. America remains inspired by the countless acts of kindness and sacrifice we saw that day -- fearless rescuers who rushed toward danger, a beloved priest who died helping others, two office workers who carried a disabled person 68 floors to safety.

We also pray for the safety and success of the members of our Armed Forces now serving freedom's cause. We seek God's grace on their families, and mit to Heaven's care those brave men and women He has called home. We ask the Almighty to watch over America and pray for His providence and continued blessings on our country. May He always guide the United States of America. As we defend our country against its enemies, we pray for help in protecting the gift of freedom from those who seek to destroy it, and we ask the Almighty to strengthen all those securing liberty on distant shores.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Friday, September 5, through Sunday, September 7, 2008, as National Days of Prayer and Remembrance. I ask that the people of the United States and their places of worship mark these National Days of Prayer and Remembrance with memorial services, the ringing of bells, and evening candlelight remembrance vigils. I also invite all people across the world to share in these Days of Prayer and Remembrance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

GEORGE W. BUSH

佈什關於好國經濟远景的演講 - 英語演講

US President'sspeech on American economic future (August 6,)

THE PRESIDENT:

To grow the economy and help American families, we acted by passing the largest tax relief in a generation. And today, thanks to the tax relief and the efforts of America's workers and entrepreneurs, our economy is strong and growing stronger.

This past week, we learned that America added over 200,000 new jobs in July. Since May of , we've added nearly 4 million new jobs. The unemployment rate is down to 5 percent, below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. And more Americans are working today than ever before in our nation's history.

Recent economic reports show that our economy is growing faster than any other major industrialized nation. Small businesses are flourishing. Workers are taking home more of what they earn. Real disposable personal ine has grown by over 12 percent since the end of 2000. Inflation is low and mortgage rates are low. And over the past year, the home ownership rate in America has reached record levels.

The tax relief stimulated economic vitality and growth and it has helped increase revenues to the Treasury. The increased revenues and our spending restraint have led to good progress in reducing the federal deficit. Last month we learned that the deficit is now projected to be $94 billion less than previously expected. I set a goal of cutting the deficit in half by 2009, and we are ahead of pace to meet that goal.

To continue creating jobs and to ensure that our prosperity reaches every corner of America, we're opening markets abroad for our goods and services. This past week, I was proud to sign the Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement. This historic agreement will level the playing field for America's workers and farmers, and open up a market of 44 million customers for products made in the United States.

To keep our economy growing we also need affordable, reliable supplies of energy. Next week in New Mexico, I'll sign a bipartisan energy bill that encourages conservation, expands domestic production in environmentally sensitive ways, diversifies our energy supply, modernizes our electricity grid and makes America less dependent on foreign sources of energy. And next Wednesday in Illinois, I'll sign a highway bill that will improve the safety of our roads, strengthen our transportation infrastructure and create good jobs.

Our economy is strong, yet I will not be satisfied until every American who wants to work can find a job. So this ing Tuesday I will meet with my economic team in Texas to discuss our agenda to keep the economy moving forward. As Congress considers appropriations bills this fall, we will work with the House and the Senate to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, or not at all.

We need to make the tax relief permanent, end the death tax forever, and make our tax code simpler, fairer and more pro-growth. We'll continue working on Social Security reform. Social Security is sound for today's seniors, but there's a hole in the safety net for our younger workers, so I'll work with the Congress to strengthen Social Security for our children and grandchildren. I'll continue to press for legal reform to protect small businesses, doctors and hospitals from junk lawsuits. And we will work to make health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans.

The American economy is the envy of the world and we will keep it that way. We will continue to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of America, so more of our citizens can realize the American Dream.

Thank you for listening.

Good morning. As families across the country enjoy the summer, Americans can be optimistic about our economic future. In the past four years, our economy has been through a lot: we faced a stock market decline, a recession, corporate scandals, an attack on our homeland, and the demands of an ongoing war on terror.

President Bush and President Vázquez of Uruguay Participate - 英語演講

March 10, 20

11:53 A.M. (Local)

PRESIDENT VÁZQUEZ: (As translated.) Mr. President of the United States of America, Madam Secretary of State, members of the delegation visiting us, the Minister of State, the Ambassador of the United States of America in Uruguay, the Ambassador of Uruguay in the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen journalists.

Mr. President, I would like to wele you together with the very prestigious delegation that is with you. Mr. President, you represent a people that is a friend of the Uruguayan people. We have historical and friendly relations uniting these two countries, these two peoples. These are firm, respectful relations with solidarity.

In this sense, I would like to give an example with two elements which I think are of significance. First of all, Mr. President, thousands of Uruguayan citizens live in the United States of America and have found in that country a standard of living that they did not have in our country and that forced them to migrate. They bettered themselves there, they have their own families, their work, they have studied, they have health and education for their children. Therefore, this is a very clear element of what the United States people have given to the Uruguayan people.

Undoubtedly, there are many Uruguayans who are waiting, pending legalization of the situation in this country, but I believe your solidarity will help our citizens to be able to live legally in your country.

And the second example I would like to mention is something that we Uruguayans recall very well. When we underwent the most severe economic crisis of our history, where Uruguay was living a very moving and very serious condition, your country, and you, in particular, Mr. President, gave us a hand to help Uruguay to leave that situation in which it was and fought for a way to recovery that we are now trying to consolidate.

Sixteen years ago another President of the United States visited our country -- it was 5 December 1990, and this President was your father. At that time I was the mayor of the city of Montevideo, and I handed him the keys of the city of Montevideo. We had a brief exchange with President Bush, your father, and I recall a statement: "Let us," he said, "leave aside our differences, as we do have certain differences, and let us follow the path of agreement and coincidences that we also have." The defense of democracy as an organization and as a functioning of our societies, but rather as a style of life; the defense of freedoms and the determined struggle to improve the standards of living of our people, giving them work, education and health, are mon elements that permit us to think that we may continue working beyond our differences, Mr. President.

With these words I would like to say that the path we have followed and the dialogue we had today with the President of the United States is precisely this one: to try and increase our trade exchanges, the possibility of placing the fruits of our worker in the markets of the United States of America; try and increase the scientific, technological, cultural exchange with our brother country, and see how together we may have a better standard of living for our people.

Mr. President, members of the U.S. delegation, I hope you may feel at home here. Most wele.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you, Mr. President. I feel very much at home. You know, it's -- in my state of Texas, when you invite somebody to your estancia, it's a sign of respect. And I thank you very much for this warm gesture of hospitality, but after all, you are Tejano. (Laughter.)

We've had -- this is our second meaningful dialogue. I remember so well your visit to the Oval Office. You were very articulate about your desire to improve the lives of all people in your country. I was impressed then by your passion and your care.

I was expecting to see a beautiful country when I came here, and that is precisely what I have seen. Your capital city is magnificent. The architecture is really beautiful. And then, of course, we e up to this beautiful place that is so peaceful, and reminds me of the great natural resources that your country has.

We discussed a lot of subjects. First of all, Mr. President, I pletely agree with the spirit of our conversations, that we will find mon ground and we will advance that mon ground for the benefit of our respective peoples.

One place we have mon ground is the respect for human rights and human dignity, respect for rule of law; we wele a free press -- most of the time. (Laughter.) No, all the time. We honor elections. And Uruguay is a strong example of the stability that can e with democracy. But you also recognize that which I recognize, that you can't take democracy for granted, that the people have to see tangible benefits.

And so on my trip to South America and Central America, I want to remind people that the United States and its passionate people care deeply about issues such as education and health, issues that you're concerned about. We spent a lot of time talking about education, and I suspect most Americans don't know that we're actively involved in helping the President institute a program for youngsters to bee more literate, particularly in English. We want to continue helping.

We spent time talking about how we can exchange students in a more -- in a better way. We talked about exchanging ideas, that our experts sit down at the same table to discuss issues such as alternative fuels. In my trip to Brazil yesterday we spent time talking about alternative fuels and the need for the United States and Brazil to work together -- it's the same conversation we had in Uruguay.

We talked about the fact that -- or at least I talked about the fact -- the President is a modest man, but I talked about the fact that the Uruguayan economy is growing at -- estimated at 7 percent. And I congratulate you, sir, on creating the conditions so that people feel fortable making investments that cause economies to grow, and that we want to work together to continue to advance the progress we have made on trade and investment at a pace that both our peoples will be fortable with.

I want to thank you very much for your mitment to democracy and peace in our neighborhood. I congratulate you and the people of Uruguay for providing peacekeepers to Haiti and to the Congo. It is a gesture of a strong nation to reach out to help others realize the benefits of a free society. And you've sent a strong and powerful message.

Finally, I do want to say something about immigration in the United States. The President has spoken eloquently to me about the need for there to be a immigration policy that upholds the values of America. I explained to him that it is my interest to get a prehensive immigration bill out of the United States Congress as soon as possible. I look forward to working with both Republicans and Democrats, Mr. President, to do what is right to uphold the laws of the United States, but at the same time, recognize that, on the one hand, we can't grant automatic citizenship, nor on the other hand, can we kick people out. And so, therefore, there's got to be a rational way forward.

And I pledge to you, as a man who is concerned about people from your country that may be living in the United States, that I will work as hard as I can to have a passionate and rational immigration law that respects the rule of law, but also respects the great traditions of the United States, a tradition which is a weling society; a tradition that says that we wele our diversity because we believe in our diversity we can find the strength of our nation.

And so I've been -- I'm really looking forward to this trip. I'm especially looking forward to the asado. I appreciate the -- I appreciate your willingness to cook some Uruguayan beef. You've told me all along how good it is, and after we answer a few questions, we're about to find out.

So, Mr. President, thank you for your hospitality.

Q My question is addressed to President George Bush. Bearing in mind the regional context governed by Presidents such as Vázquez or Chavez, especially, what similarities and what differences do you find amongst them? And what is your opinion about President Vázquez and Uruguay?

PRESIDENT BUSH: The temptation is to try to get people to talk about their differences. I want to talk about our monalities. We share respect for each other. We respect our countries, we respect our history and traditions, and we share a great respect for a government that -- where the people decide who's in charge.

Interestingly enough, we both have gotten rid of colonial powers in our past, and it is -- I think it is that heritage that makes Uruguay and the United States such natural partners. We talk about the need to invest and to grow economies through investment. That's a mon ground that leads to a positive relationship.

We both recognize that education is vital for the success of our respective countries. When we find illiteracy in the United States, that's where we find poverty, oftentimes. And, therefore, education policy is focused on improving the lives of all by giving people the skills necessary to pete in the 21st century.

I think many people in my country don't know that Uruguay is the leading exporter of software in South America. It means that one of the great assets of this country is the brain power of the country. Oftentimes when you think of a country like Uruguay, you think of natural resources -- fantastic farms, a lot of cows, and lambs, and blueberries -- which, by the way, came up today in our conversation. But I think it is hopeful for both our countries to know that a friend is a leading exporter of something that requires the ingenuity and brainpower of its citizens. And so we find mon ground there as to how to work together.

This is a -- I would call this meeting very constructive and very hopeful and very positive. And the reason why is because we've got so much in mon. There's a lot more that unites us than divides us, Mr. President, and I appreciate the chance to visit with you.

Tony.

Q President Bush --

PRESIDENT BUSH: Bret Baier. So the guy -- I'm 60 years old and he thinks I can't hear. (Laughter.)

Q Sorry about that. Mr. President, the FBI acknowledged that some agents used post-9/11 powers to demand personal on Americans. What do you say to people who are concerned about the use of these national security letters? And in the wake of how these letters were used, do you still have confidence in Attorney General Gonzales and FBI Director Mueller?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I was briefed by the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI on this subject last week. We spent a lot of time talking about the IG report. First of all, I want to pliment the IG for good and necessary work. They brought the findings of this good work to my attention. My question is, what are you going to do to solve the problem and how fast can you get it solved?

And I was pleased by Director Mueller's answer, that he had already begun to address some of the problems, but there's more work to be done. I thought his testimonies the other day were very good; he took responsibility, as he should have. And I have confidence in Director Mueller, as I do in the Attorney General.

I want to remind you, Bret, and others that the IG report, which justly made issue of FBI shortfallings, also made it clear that these letters were important to the security of the United States. And so we'll address the problems in the report, and those problems will be addressed as quickly as possible.

Q Good afternoon. The first question is addressed to President Bush. You recognize the protectionist obstacles in your government. How flexible may your administration be on making progress in a trade agreement with Uruguay, and what agreement has been reached today?

And the second question for both Presidents. President Vázquez, did you ask President Bush to intercede in the differences that Uruguay and Argentina have --

PRESIDENT BUSH: We spent a lot of time talking about how to address Uruguayan concerns about market access for certain products. The President talked about a variety of issues when it es to trade. He felt like the quotas on certain items, such as cows and sheep, was not fair, and I told him I would absolutely consider requests he made.

You thought I was teasing about blueberries, but I wasn't. It turns out Uruguay produces a fantastic blueberry. And the fundamental question is, will that blueberry -- will the blueberry grower be able to sell product into the United States?

So we talked about a variety of produce. And I told the President, I said, you can't solve problems unless you put the problems on the table, and that where we could help, we would, and where we couldn't, I would give an explanation as to why not.

Now, you brought up protectionist tendencies, and I'm concerned about protectionist tendencies, not only with our own country, but around the world. I happen to believe a world that trades freely and fairly is a world that is more likely to be able to address poverty. And therefore, I'm a strong supporter of pleting the Doha Round of the WTO.

I shared with the President about our strategies as to advance the Doha Round. I spent a lot of time with President Lula -- he was most interested in our conversations, and I shared our conversations. I didn't betray any confidences, of course, but I talked to him about how we need to advance the Doha Round. The United States is fully prepared to reduce agricultural subsidies, as I explained to the President. We just want to make sure there is market access for our products. And that's what I told President Lula, that's what I've told the Europeans, and that's what I shared with the President.

I'm optimistic we can get a deal done. As a matter of fact, our Trade Minister is -- Susan Schwab has remained in São Paulo to talk to her Brazilian counterpart, all aiming at continuing to make progress toward what is a plicated, but necessary deal.

Thank you.

PRESIDENT VÁZQUEZ: As an answer to your first question, I fully agree with what has just been expressed by the President of the United States. We have created a plan starting with this meeting, where our experts, our ministers are going to discuss and make progress on issues of bilateral relationships.

Now, concerning the general multilateral situation, Uruguay has made clear its position in the defense of free trade and tried to have a drop of tariffs and subsidies, which hinder the sale of our great cultural products, particularly. But we have also analyzed the possibility of making progress with the GSP, particularly on certain issues that are going to be considered in the ing weeks.

As to the second part of your question, I have not talked about the problems we have with the republic of Argentina with the President of the United States, amongst other things, because in a few days from now -- in a few weeks, and thanks to the conciliation of His Majesty, the King of Spain, we are going to get closer. We're not going to negotiate. We're going to have a dialogue between the two governments in order to find a friendly way out. We're going to try to e to an understanding and to be able to solve the very sad differences that we have with our brethren of Argentina.

Q Thank you, Mr. President and Mr. President. For President Bush, Hugo Chavez suggested that you are afraid to mention his name. So, are you? And how much of a threat is he to the United States' interests in the hemisphere?

And, President Vázquez, can you discuss at all your position between trying to broaden ties to the United States in terms of trade, but also indicate to your own neighbors that you are -- want to remain integrated in South American trade?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I've e to South America and Central America to advance a positive, constructive diplomacy that is being conducted by my government on behalf of the American people.

My message to the people in our neighborhood is that we care about the human condition and that we believe the human condition can be improved in a variety of ways -- one, investment. And so the question is, how can we have constructive dialogue with our neighbors as to how to spread the benefits of investment?

I also am reminding people that the United States taxpayer is most generous when it es to bilateral aid. Since I've been the President, we've doubled the amount of annual bilateral aid to Latin America from $800 million a year to $1.6 billion a year. And most of the money is aimed at social justice programs, programs like education and health care.

I also know full well that -- and I saw this firsthand yesterday in S o Paulo -- that many American NGOs and faith-based groups and individuals express their concern about the plight of the poor through programs and activities all aimed at giving people a chance. Yesterday in São Paulo we went to a pretty wealthy neighborhood, but it was surrounded by a favela. And there we found in the midst of hopelessness there was a little center of love. And some of the program money had been raised as a result of concerts in the United States, where citizens, average citizens contribute to make sure this program remain viable.

And so the trip is a statement of desire to work together with people in our neighborhood. I've been to Central and South America a lot since I've been the President, because I fully understand a prosperous and peaceful neighborhood is in the interest of the United States of America.

I would call our diplomacy quiet and effective diplomacy -- diplomacy all aimed at helping people, aimed at elevating the human condition, aimed at expressing the great passion of the American people.

And, Mr. President, I appreciate you giving me a chance to e and visit with you, have a dialogue about how we can advance our interests and the interests of our neighborhood.

PRESIDENT VÁZQUEZ: Concerning your question, the strategy for international insertion of Uruguay is quite well defined and quite clear. We are in favor of an open integration process. We are strongly in favor of the regional process. We are where we are and we don't want to leave this place. And the trade we have and the cultural, historical relationships that we have with our brethren countries in the region are very solid, very strong. But we don't want a close integration process, but an open integration process.

This Mercosur should be able to integrate to other blocks or other countries of the world and also each of the members of this process -- for example, Uruguay -- might be able to exercise its sovereign right of developing bilateral relations with other integration processes or other countries. It is in this sense that we are working, and it is in this sense that we are holding with the President of the United States.

Thank you, Mr. President.
