"<br /><br /> <strong>【中文译文】：</strong><br /><br /> 一位善良的女人一天说了一些话伤害了她最好的有多年友情的朋友；她话一出口就后悔了，她想做任何事来收回她的话。她的话伤害朋友如此之深，以至于这个善良 的女人为自己给朋友造成痛苦而伤心不已。为了努力消除自己所做错事的影响，她拜访本村一位有智慧的年长妇女，介绍她的现状，寻求解决办法。<br /><br /> 听着年轻女的述说，年长女感觉到年轻女的忧伤，并且意识到自己得帮助年轻女。年长女知道她不可能减轻年轻女的伤痛，但她可以让年轻女从中吸取教训。她明白 事情的结果只能是取决于年轻女的性格。她说：“今晚，拆开你最好的羽毛枕头，在太阳升起之前，在本镇每家的门阶上放一根羽毛。”<br /><br /> 年轻女匆匆回家准备这事，尽管这些枕头是她非常心爱的。一整夜，她独自在严寒中劳动。最后，天放亮时，她终于将最后一根羽毛放在最后一家的台阶上。太阳升起时，她回到年长女的家。<br /><br /> “现在”，年长女说道，“回去再用你放在每家台阶上的羽毛把枕头填满，然后，一切事情就象是没有发生过，一如往昔。<br /> <br /> “你知道这是不可能的！我把羽毛一放在台阶上，风就把它们吹跑了！”年轻女非常惊讶年长女这个建议。<br /><br /> “没错。”年长女说道，“你要永远记住，你的每句话就象是风中的羽毛，覆水难收。一旦不计后果，话已说出，尽管你的愿望是如何真心、如何诚意，但说话如�水不可收回。适当选择你的话，并且当心你的话，特别特别是在那些为你所爱的人面前。” <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/-feather-in-the-wind">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-4829171622820256237?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-87849913658945726182009-06-23T22:13:00.001+08:002009-06-23T22:13:43.401+08:00不查字典易弄错的单词<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "> lover 情人（不是“爱人”）<br /><br /> busboy 餐馆勤杂工（不是“公汽售票员”）<br /><br /> busybody 爱管闲事的人（不是“大忙人”）<br /> <br /> dry goods （美）纺织品；（英）谷物（不是“干货”）<br /><br /> heartman 换心人（不是“有心人”）<br /><br /> mad doctor 精神病科医生（不是“发疯的医生”）<br /><br /> eleventh hour 最后时刻（不是“十一点”）<br /><br /> blind date （由第三者安排的）男女初次会面（并非“盲目约会”或 “瞎约会”）<br /> <br /> dead president 美钞（上印有总统头像）（并非“死了的总统”）<br /><br /> personal remark 人身攻击（不是“个人评论”）<br /><br /> sweet water 淡水（不是“糖水”或“甜水”）<br /><br /> confidence man 骗子（不是“信得过的人”）<br /><br /> criminal lawyer 刑事律师（不是“犯罪的律师”）<br /><br /> service station 加油站（不是“服务站”）<br /> <br /> rest room 厕所（不是“休息室”）<br /><br /> dressing room 化妆室（不是“试衣室”或“更衣室”）<br /><br /> sporting house 妓院（不是“体育室”）<br /><br /> horse sense 常识（不是“马的感觉”）<br /><br /> capital idea 好主意（不是“资本主义思想”）<br /><br /> familiar talk 庸俗的交谈（不是“熟悉的谈话”）<br /> <br /> black tea 红茶（不是“黑茶”）<br /><br /> black art 妖术（不是“黑色艺术”）<br /><br /> black stranger 完全陌生的人（不是“陌生的黑人”）<br /><br /> white coal （作动力来源用的）水（不是“白煤”）<br /><br /> white man 忠实可靠的人（不是“皮肤白的人”）<br /><br /> yellow book 黄皮书（法国政府报告书，以黄纸为封）（不是“黄色书籍”）<br /> <br /> red tape 官僚习气（不是“红色带子”）<br /><br /> green hand 新手（不是“绿手”）<br /><br /> blue stocking 女学者、女才子（不是“蓝色长统袜”）<br /><br /> China policy 对华政策（不是“中国政策”）<br /><br /> Chinese dragon 麒麟（不是“中国龙”）<br /><br /> American beauty 红蔷薇（不是“美国美女”）<br /> <br /> English disease 软骨病（不是“英国病”）<br /><br /> Indian summer 愉快宁静的晚年（不是“印度的夏日”）<br /><br /> Greek gift 害人的礼品（不是“希腊礼物”）<br /><br /> Spanish athlete 吹牛的人（不是“西班牙运动员”）<br /><br /> French chalk 滑石粉（不是“法国粉笔”）<br /><br /> restroom 不是休息室 而是公共厕所<br /> <br /> milkway 银河<br /><br /> piss you off 不是对着你撒尿，是把你惹毛<br /><br /> fuck you up 不是把你*起来，而是毁掉你</span> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/907656">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-8784991365894572618?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-28557011268997307832009-06-13T13:08:00.001+08:002009-06-13T13:08:48.570+08:00Love like a War 1 love is like war, easy to begin but hard to end. <br /> 爱就像一场战争，开战容易停火难。<br /><br /> 2 Love opens your chest and opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up.<br /> 爱扒开你的胸膛，掏出你的心脏，有人就乘机侵入你的心胸把你搞得一团糟。<br /> <br /> 3 Does God punish or reward us with love? <br /> 爱，是上帝用来惩罚我们的还是奖赏我们的呢？<br /><br /> 4 Love your neighbor, but don't get caught. <br /> 爱你的邻家女孩吧，但注意不要被逮着了。<br /><br /> 5 I love a hand that meets my own with a grasp that causes some sensation.<br /> 我喜爱这样的一只手，它的力度让我有几分感觉的手。<br /><br /> 6 The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost. <br /> 珍爱一切的好办法是：意识到你可能会失去它。<br /><br clear="all" /><br /> 7 Love is like quicksilver in the hand.

You will receive a body. 关爱自己，受益无限。</strong><br /><br /> You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for as long as you live. How you take care of it or fail to take care of it can make an enormous difference in the quality of your life.<br /><br /> 无论喜欢还是厌恶，你的身体要跟随你一辈子。能否照顾好自己的身体，会决然影响你的一声。<br /><br /> <strong>2. You will learn lessons. “人生”学校，无所不教。</strong><br /><br /> You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called Life. Each day, you will be presented with opportunities to learn what you need to know. The lessons presented are often completely different from those you need.<br /><br /> 有一所大学，非正式但终身制，这就是人生。每天，它都会有机会教给你你应该学会的东西。常常，人生的课程并非你想要的。<br /><br /> <strong>3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. 没有错误，只有教训。</strong><br /><br /> Growth is a process of trial, error and experimentation. You can learn as much from failure as you can from success. Maybe more.<br /><br /> 成长是探索、犯错和试验的过程。失败和成功一样能教会你东西，甚至更多。<br /><br /> <strong>4. A lesson is repeated until it is Learned. 一个教训会不断地重复，直至你领悟了。</strong><br /><br /> A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it (as evidenced by a change in your attitude and ultimately your behavior) then you can go on to the next lesson.<br /><br /> 生活会以不同的形式教育你，直到你的态度和行为发生改变。完全领悟了，你会开始走向下一堂课。<br /><br /> <strong>5. Learning lessons does not end. 学无止境。</strong><br /><br /> There is no stage of life that does not contain some lessons. As long as you live there will be somthing more to learn.<br /> <br /> 无学习，不人生。只要你活着，学习就不会停。<br /><br /> <strong>6. Others are merely mirrors of you. 别人不过是你的镜子。</strong><br /><br /> You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. When tempted to criticize others, ask yourself why you feel so strongly.<br /><br /> 一个人对另一个人的爱憎，完全是因为对方折射了自己身上的某些东西。当你想批评别人的时候，先问问自己为什么反应如此强烈。<br /><br /> <strong>7. What you make of your life is up to you. 你的生活你做主。</strong><br /><br /> You have all the tools and resources you need. What you create with those tools and resources is up to you. Remember that through desire, goal setting and unflagging effort you can have anything you want.

These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.<br /><br /> I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy –ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what- at last- I have found.<br /><br /> With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flu. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.<br /><br /> Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.<br /><br /> This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.<br /><br /> 【中文译文】：<br /><br /> 三种激情 -----罗素<br /><br /> 三种激情虽然简单，却异常强烈，它们统治着我的生命，那便是：对爱的渴望，对知识的追求，以及对人类苦难的难以承受的同情。这三种激情像变化莫测的狂风任意地把我刮来刮去，把我刮入痛苦的深海，到了绝望的边缘。<br /> <br /> 我曾经寻找爱，首先是因为它能使我欣喜若狂——这种喜悦之情如此强烈，使我常常宁愿为这几个小时的愉悦而牺牲生命中的其他一切。我寻求爱，其次是因为爱能 解除孤独——在这种可怕的孤独中，一颗颤抖的良心在世界的边缘，注视着下面冰凉、毫无生气、望不见底的深渊。我寻求爱还因为在爱的融合中，我能以某种神秘 的图像看到曾被圣人和诗人想象过的天堂里未来的景象。这就是我所追求的东西，虽然这似乎对于人类的生命来说过于完美，但这确实是我最终发现的东西。我怀着 同样的激情去寻找知识，我曾渴望着理解人心，我曾渴望知道为何星星会闪烁，我还企图弄懂毕达哥拉斯所谓的用数字控制变化的力量，但在这方面，我只知道一点 点。<br /><br /> 爱的力量和知识的力量引我接近天堂，但同情之心往往又把我拉回大地。痛苦的哭泣回响、震荡在我的心中。饥饿的儿童，被压迫、受折磨的人们，成为儿孙们讨厌 的包袱的、无助的老人们，充斥着整个世界的孤独的气氛，贫穷和苦难，所有这一切都是对人类生活原本该具有的样子所作的讽刺。我渴望消除一切邪恶，但我办不 到，因为我自己也处于苦难之中。 这就是我的生活，我认为值得一过。而且，如果有第二次机会，我将乐意地再过一次。<p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/three-passions">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-4184768030567841224?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-80267971244603958002009-05-08T21:18:00.001+08:002009-05-08T21:18:52.902+08:00about mother<font color="#9c7930">All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.

Return to Paradise <br /><br clear="all" />Lisa stood facing the Caribbean Sea, feeling the faint breeze against her face; her eyes were shut and she felt the white sand warm between her bare toes. The place was beautiful beyond belief, but it was still unable to ease the grief she felt as she remembered the last time she had been here.<br /><br /> She had married James right here on this spot three years ago to the day. Dressed in a simple white <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">1)</span>shift dress, <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">2)</span>miniature white roses attempting to<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> 3)</span>tame her long dark curls, Lisa had been happier than she had ever thought possible. James was even less formal, yet utterly irresistible in <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4)</span>creased summer trousers and a loose white cotton shirt. His dark hair was slightly ruffled and his eyes were full of adoration as he looked at his bride to be. The [1] justice of the peace had read their vows as they held hands and laughed at the sheer joy of being young, in love and staying in a five star resort on the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic. They had seen the years blissfully stretching ahead of them, together forever. They planned their children, two she said; he said four so they compromised on three (two girls and a boy of course); where they would live, the travelling they would do together—it was all certain, or so they had thought then.<br /><br /> But that seemed such a long time ago now. A lot can change in just a few years—a lot of heartache can change a person and drive a <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">5)</span>wedge through the strongest ties, break even the deepest love. Three years to the day and they had returned, though this time not for the beachside marriages the island was famous for, but for one of its equally popular <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">6)</span>quickie divorces.<br /><br /> Lisa let out a sigh that was filled with pain and regret. What could she do but move on, find a new life and new dreams?—the old one was beyond repair. How could this beautiful place, with its lush green coastline, eternity of <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">7)</span>azure blue sea and endless sands be a place for the agony she felt now?<br /><br /> The man stood watching under the palm tree. He couldn’t take his eyes off the dark-haired woman he saw standing at the water’s edge, apparently gazing out to sea as though she was waiting for something—or someone. She was beautiful, with her slim figure dressed in a loose flowing cotton dress, her crazy hair and bright blue eyes not far off the colour of the sea itself. It wasn’t her looks that attracted him though; he came across many beautiful women through his work as a <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">8)</span>freelance photographer. It was her loneliness and intensity that lured him. Even at some distance he was aware that she was different from any other woman he could ever meet.<br /><br /> Lisa sensed the man approaching even before she turned around. She had been aware of him standing there staring at her and had felt strangely calm about being observed. She looked at him and felt the instant spark of connection she had only experienced once before. He walked slowly towards her and they held each other’s gaze. It felt like meeting a long lost friend—not a stranger on a strange beach.<br /><br /> Later, sitting at one of the many bars on the resort, sipping the local cocktails they began to talk. First <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">9)</span>pleasantries—their hotels, the quality of the food and friendliness of the locals.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> (1)</span>Their conversation was strangely hesitant considering the naturalness and confidence of their earlier meeting. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">(2)</span>Onlookers, however, would have detected the subtle flirtation as they mirrored each other’s actions and looked directly into each other’s eyes. Only later, after the alcohol had had its loosening effect, did the conversation deepen.

She told him of things that had been locked deep inside her, that she had so far been able to tell no one. She told him how she had felt after she had lost her baby.<br /><br /> She was six months pregnant and the happiest she had ever been when the pains had started. She was staying with her mother as James was working out of town. He hadn’t made it back in time. The doctor had said it was just one of those things and that they could try again. But how could she when she couldn’t even look James in the eye? She hated him then, for not being there, for not hurting as much as her; but most of all she hated him for looking so much like the tiny baby boy that she held for just three hours before they took him away. All through the following months she had withdrawn from her husband, family, and friends—not wanting to recover from the pain she felt—that would have been a betrayal of her son. At the funeral she had refused to stand next to her husband and the next day she had left him.<br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> (3)</span>Looking up, Lisa could see her pain reflected in the man’s eyes. For the first time in months she didn’t feel alone, she felt the unbearable burden begin to lift from her— only a bit, but it was a start. She began to believe that maybe she had a future after all and maybe it could be with this man, with his kind <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">11)</span>hazel eyes, wet with their shared tears.<br /><br /> They had come here to dissolve their marriage, but maybe there was hope. Lisa stood up and took James by the hand and led him away from the bar towards the beach where they had made their vows to each other three years ago. Tomorrow she would cancel the divorce; tonight they would work on renewing their promises.<br /><br /> <strong>【注释】：</strong><br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">1)</span> shift dress: 一种宽松的礼服，从肩膀直垂下去，没有腰身。<br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> 2)</span> miniature adj. 微型的<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">3)</span> tame v. 使变得驯服<br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4)</span> crease v. 折，弄皱<br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">5)</span> wedge n. 使分裂的东西,侵入并引起分裂或崩裂的东西<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> 6)</span> quickie adj. <俚> 简短的，速成的<br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> 7) </span>azure adj. 蔚蓝的<br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">8)</span> freelance 自由劳动者：一类人，尤指作家或艺术家为雇佣者服务但对他们不负有任何长期的义务<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">9)</span> pleasantry n. 幽默，开玩笑<br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> 10)</span> against one’s better judgement 明知不可取地, 明知不适当地<br /><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">11)</span> hazel adj. 榛树的, 淡褐色的<br /> <br /> <strong>【中文译文】：</strong><br /><br /> 莉萨伫立在加勒比海边，面向着大海，感受微风轻拂脸颊——她闭上双眼，裸露的脚趾间拥满了温暖的沙粒。这个地方美得简直令人难以置信，但回忆起上次在这的情景时,此般美景依然无法抚慰心中的伤痛。<br /><br /> 三年前的今天，莉萨就是在这里和詹姆斯结婚的。她身着简洁的白色长礼裙，小小的白玫瑰服贴、点缀着她又黑又长的卷发，如此的幸福感是她从未企及的。詹姆斯 的装扮更休闲，一条带摺的清凉夏裤和一件宽松的白色棉质衬衫，配上一头稍稍凌乱的黑发，然而他看上去依然是魅力不可挡，当他凝视着自己的准新娘时，眼神里 写满了爱意。他们手牵手，聆听太平绅士宣读他们的誓言。他们为年轻而欢呼，为爱情而雀跃，为身处多米尼加共和国加勒比岛屿的五星级胜地而陶醉。他们似乎看 到未来的幸福之路在眼前展开，直至相携到老。他们商量着生孩子的事，她说要两个，他却想要四个，最终各退一步，决定生三个（当然是两女一男）。他们计划着 安居的地方，计划着一起旅游——所有事情都显得顺理成章，或者大约他们当时便想到这些。<br /><br /> 然而这一切似乎是许久以前的事了，短短几年时间就可能发生许多变故。太多的伤痛可以改变一个人，可以破坏最牢固的关系，甚至可以摧毁最刻骨的爱情。三年后的今天，他们又回到了这个岛上，但并非因为此地闻名的海滨婚礼，而是因为此地同样闻名的闪电离婚。<br /><br /> 莉萨深深地叹了一口气，带出了心中的痛苦和悲伤。除了继续前行，寻找新生活和新梦想她还能做什么呢?——毕竟旧的已经无法弥补。这里有繁茂的绿色海岸线、无边的蔚蓝大海和绵延的沙滩，可是现在如此美丽的地方怎么就成了她心中无法隐忍的痛？<br /> <br /> 一个男子站在棕榈树下，目不转睛地注视着这位黑发女子：她伫立在水边，凝望着大海，显然像是在等待什么——或是某人。她很美，身段修长，一袭宽松的棉质裙 与头发在风中起舞，那双明亮的蓝眼睛，美得简直可以与大海的颜色相媲美。然而吸引他的并非她的容貌，作为一名自由摄影师，因为工作上的关系，他见过的美女 无数。吸引他的是她的落寞和深情。尽管隔着一些距离，但是他仍能感觉到她是不同于他所见过的任何其他女性的。<br /><br /> 未曾转身，莉萨便察觉到了男人在靠近。她早已发觉他站在远处盯凝着她，奇怪的是，她并没有因为被注视而感到不自在。她看着他，瞬间闪过一丝心灵相通的火 花，这样的碰撞以前只有过一次。他慢慢地向她走近，两人的目光胶着了。他们就像见到一个失去联络很久的朋友——而不是在陌生的地方遇见一个陌生人。<br /><br /> 过了一会儿，他们在附近林立的酒吧里找了一间坐了下来。啜饮着当地的鸡尾酒，开始交谈。最初是谈论一些有趣的事——聊他们住的酒店，食物的品质以及当地人 的友好热情。然而再深入下去时，相比之前见面的自然和从容，他们的谈话便莫名地犹豫不前了。尽管如此，从他们端详对方的举止和直视对方眼睛的神态中，旁观 者还是能洞悉到些许微妙的暧昧。直到酒精逐渐发挥了让人放松的效力，谈话才继续深入下去。他们谈论着来此地的原因，最后，虽然明知不太适宜，莉萨仍将她去 年所经历的痛苦尽数道出，以及是什么事情让她又回到了这里——在这儿，她嫁给了一个曾以为会深爱一生的男人。她将一直锁在心底、至今仍无法向他人启齿的话 倾吐了出来，并向他倾诉失去宝宝后悲痛的心情。<br /><br /> 那时她已怀孕六个月，还是世界上最幸福的人。直到事情发生的前一刻。当时她和母亲待在一起，詹姆斯在郊外工作，没能及时赶回来。医生说这是很平常的事情， 他们还有机会。然而她无法做到，她连正视詹姆斯的眼睛都办不到。她恨他，恨他当时不在身边，恨他没有自己那么伤心，更恨他和仅仅在自己怀里躺了三个小时就 被抱走的儿子如此相像。接下来的几个月，她远离了丈夫、家庭和朋友，不愿从伤痛中走出来——她觉得那样做是对儿子的背叛。在葬礼上，她拒绝站在丈夫旁边。 第二天，她便离开了他。<br /><br /> 抬起头，莉萨读出自己的伤痛映满了男人的双眼。几个月来，她第一次不再感到孤独，她感到压得她喘不过气来的担子开始减轻，尽管只有一点点，但起码这是个开 始。她开始相信自己还是有未来的，也许是和眼前这个男人、也许是和他这双温柔的淡褐色眼睛——里面噙着他们共同的泪花。<br /><br /> 他们来此本为结束他们的婚姻，但也许事情还有转机。她站起身，牵起詹姆斯的手，领着他走出酒吧，走向他们三年前互相许下诺言的沙滩。明天，她会取消离婚，今晚，他们将重续承诺。<br /><br /> <strong>小资料</strong><br /><br /> [1] Justice of the Peace,（太平绅士J.P.），原称治安委员，是一种源于英国，由政府委任民间人士担任维持社区安宁、防止非法刑罚及处理一些较简单的法律程序的职 衔。成为太平绅士无须任何学历或资格认证要求。现时英国的英格兰与威尔士、澳大利亚、马来西亚、美国、新加坡、香港等国家、地区皆有太平绅士制度，但各地 区对太平绅士的定义和要求皆有分别。<br /><br /><br /> <strong>温馨提示</strong><br /><br /> (1) Their conversation...meeting.<br /><br /> 刚刚在沙滩上两人见面时比较自然，甚至女主角心里有一丝碰撞的火花，considering在这的意思是较之前的见面，两人的谈话就没有那么自如了。本文前面部分制造了一个悬念，原来此男子就是她要离婚的丈夫James。<br /><br /> (2) Onlookers, however...other’s eyes.<br /><br /> 这句话作者暗示了两人微妙的夫妇关系。<br /><br /> (3) Looking up,...man’s eye.<br /><br /> 这句话可以有两个意思，一是她在男人眼睛反射的影像里看到了自己的样子，另一个是她看到了这个男人的痛苦，和自己的一样深。从后面一句For the first time in months she didn’t feel alone, she felt the unbearable burden begin to lift from her, only a bit but it was a start。可以看出，此男主角内心也痛苦，从而分担了女主角的忧愁，也暗示了两人共同经历的事情。<p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/return-to-paradise">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-1052655701538673641?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-88771084200844076192009-04-13T15:48:00.001+08:002009-04-13T15:48:29.623+08:00
ZT: The Difference between Man and Woman <br /><br clear="all" /> 1. By nature 本性上<br /><br /> Men are polygamous by nature. There's no doubt and there's nothing to debate about it。<br /><br /> 从本性上讲，男人是花心的。毫无疑问，这没什么可争辩的。<br /><br /> Women are monogamous by nature. The same holds true with this fact. When a woman loves--it's now and forever. More or less they tend to love now and forever. Most women have hard time forgetting their first love。<br /><br /> 从本性上来说，女人是纯情的。这是事实。当女人爱上男人时，她们的爱持续时间很长。女人通常会长时间的爱着她们所爱的男人。大多数的女人对她们的初恋难以忘怀。<br /><br /> 2. Physically 身体上<br /><br /> Men are physically stronger than women. This is very evident on the physical differences between men and women。<br /> <br /> 从体格上来说，男人比女人强壮。这是男人和女人差异较为突出的一点。<br /><br /> 3. Emotionally 情感上<br /><br /> Women are emotionally stronger than men。<br /><br /> 在情感上，女人比男人坚强。<br /><br /> Though we tend to see women crying all the time they are stronger emotionally. Men easily get depress and there are more men admitted in mental asylums。<br /><br /> 虽然我们经常见到女人哭泣，但是她们是坚强的。男人则容易沮丧，因而有较多的男人患有精神病。<br /><br /> 4. Men are more aggressive than women. 男人比女人好斗。<br /><br /> Men proved their aggressiveness through their being adventurous. They are at the same time more aggressive sexually。<br /> <br /> 他们喜欢冒险，这就可以证明他们好斗的性格。当他们为了争夺异性时，好斗的性格就更为突出了。<br /><br /> 5. Men are possessive and women are submissive. 男人有着很强的占有欲而女人则较为温顺。<br /><br /> Though men are polygamous, they want their women to be theirs alone. Most women submit themselves to the will of their man。<br /> <br /> 虽然男人花心，但是对于属于自己的女人，他们则希望她们是完全属于他们自己的，而大多数的女人则顺服于这种大男子主义。<br /><br /> 6. Men have better sense of humor than women. 男人比女人有幽默感。<br /><br /> As evidence, there are more movie comedians than comediennes。<br /><br /> 通过男性电影喜剧演员比女性电影喜剧演员多这一事实就可以说明这一点了。<br /> <br /> 7. Women mature earlier than men. 女性比男性早熟。<br /><br /> At age 17 most women are already matured, whether physically or emotionally。<br /><br /> 到17岁时，她们的生理机能和心理情感都成熟了。<br /><br /> 8. Women are more caring than men. 女人比较会照顾人。<br /> <br /> From the womb until we grow it's our mother who took care of us。<br /><br /> 我们从胎儿时期到长大成人这期间都是由妈妈照顾的。<br /><br /> 9. Women have better sense of smell than men. 女人的嗅觉比男人的灵敏。<br /><br /> Women can smell whether a companion smoked a cigarette, or sipped wine, wearing perfume or not and many others。<br /> <br /> 她们可以用嗅觉分辨出伴侣是否有吸烟，喝酒，或喷香水诸如之类的事情。<br /><br /> 10. Women are more talkative than men. 女人话比较多。<br /><br /> It has been a proven fact that women speak more frequent than men。<br /><br /> 已经有事实证明女人讲话的频率比男人的高。<br /><br /> 11. Women's favorite past time is gossiping. 女人打发时间的最爱方式就是闲聊。<br /> <br /> It's the cheapest form of entertainment anyway。<br /><br /> 无论怎么说这都是最划算的娱乐方式。<p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/zt-the-difference-between-man-and-woman">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-8877108420084407619?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-36287095640098978072009-04-13T15:46:00.001+08:002009-04-13T15:46:52.019+08:00

Crystal Shoes <br /><br clear="all" /> “Hi! John.” Mary ran towards me with a rare bright smile on her face, saying, “I’m gonna have a dance performance tonight. I hope you’ll come. Here is the ticket. Don’t forget!” She left in a hurry, disappearing in the throngs of people quickly.<br /><br /> “What?!” I just came to my mind, “What performance? Dance? Is that credible?” I asked myself. Mary was not such kind of girl. She was a quite ordinary one. I had never seen her making up or wearing attractive clothes, moreover, she always wore her big black-frame glasses, for she did not know how to dress up indeed. What a terrible thing, especially for a plain girl!<br /><br /> “I should go to, I must go to. That’s a miracle!” I thought.<br /><br /> I arrived at the hall with the ticket, and found my seat. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would suffer from a hard time before her turn, for I had no sense of art, but her performance was worth of watching, no matter how long I would wait for.<br /><br /> Time went slowly, I struggled with myself not to fall asleep.<br /><br /> “Let’s welcome the next exciting dance — Latin!” Applause fulfilled the hall at once.<br /> <br /> I opened my eyes as large as possible, fearing to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shinning skirt, Mary appeared on the glorious stage. Her dress went well with the brilliant lights. Such scene seemed to be a mermaiden showing up under the glittering sunshine, meanwhile, I could feel all the audience in the hall focused their eyes on her and it was also hard for me to remove my sights from her. She was so beautiful: her stature was slim; her long golden hair lay back in curls over her delicate ears. Dancing with a charming smile, she was fully absorbed in the Latin music. At this moment, she looked like a pretty butterfly flying on the splendid stage… I could hardly believe my eyes.<br /><br /> After all the performance ended, I waited for her at the gate.<br /><br /> “Hi!” She stood in front of me with a bag and her crystal high-heeled shoes in her hands, and dressed as she used to be, but the making-up still could be seen.<br /><br /> “How do you feel?” There was not a little bit tired expression appeared on her face.<br /><br /> “Fantastic!” I answered.<br /><br /> “Ha, ha. I knew it would be.” She could not conceal her excitement, laughing like a child.<br /> <br /> “May I lend a hand?”<br /><br /> “Thank you!” She handed her crystal shoes to me which were shinning in the wonderful starry night; at the mean time, I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.<br /><br /> <strong> 【中文译文】：</strong><br /><br /> “嗨，约翰！”玛丽脸上带着罕见的笑容向我跑来，口中还说着，“今晚我要参加一个演出，希望你能来。这是门票，别忘了啊！”说完，她就匆匆忙忙地离开了，很快消失在人群中。<br /><br /> “什么？！”我这才回过神来，“什么演出啊？跳舞？是真的吗？”我自言自语道。玛丽不是那种女孩。她非常普通。我从没见过她穿过漂亮的衣服，并且，她总是戴着那幅黑边大眼镜，因为她真的不知该如何打扮。真是不幸啊，尤其对一个相貌平平的女孩来说。<br /> <br /> 我想：“我应该去，我必须去。这简直是个奇迹！”<br /><br /> 我拿着票走进演出大厅，找到座位。她的表演排在第七位，我知道我得忍受一段艰难的时间了，因为我对艺术根本就没有什么感觉。但是不论等多久，她的表演都值得一看。<br /><br /> 时间过得很慢，我努力不使自己睡着。<br /><br /> “让我们欢迎下一个精彩的舞蹈——拉丁舞！”掌声立刻响彻全场。<br /><br /> 我尽量睁大眼睛，生怕会漏掉什么。玛丽穿着一条闪闪发光的金色裙子出现在舞台上。她的打扮与闪耀的灯光正好相配。这个场景就像是美人鱼出现在耀眼的阳光 下。这时，我感到整个大厅里的观众都将目光集中在她身上，我也无法把视线从她身上移开。她是如此美丽，身材如此婀娜。她长长的头发卷曲着，遮住她精美的耳 朵。她带着迷人的笑容，翩翩起舞，完全沉醉在拉丁音乐中。那一刻，她就像一只美丽的蝴蝶在辉煌的舞台上起舞。我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。<br /><br /> 演出结束之后，我在门口等她。<br /><br /> “嗨！”她站在我面前，提着一个手袋和水晶高跟鞋，穿着她平常穿的衣服，但还能看出淡淡的化妆痕迹。<br /><br /> “感觉怎么样？”她的脸上没有显出一丝疲倦的神情。<br /><br /> 我答道：“棒极了！”<br /><br /> “哈哈，我就知道是这样。”她掩饰不住兴奋，露出孩子般的笑容。<br /> <br /> “我帮你拿吧？”<br /><br /> “谢谢！”她把水晶鞋递给我。它们在星夜的天空下闪闪发光。这时，我意识到，每个女孩都有一双属于自己的特殊的鞋，就像灰姑娘的水晶鞋一样。<p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/crystal-shoes">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-2855305648348444301?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-64404024404264436292009-04-13T15:43:00.001+08:002009-04-13T15:43:30.247+08:00

Mother's hand <br /><br clear="all" /> Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.<br /><br /> I don't remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, "Don't do that anymore —your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love.<br /><br /> Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it lurked, in the back of my mind.<br /><br /> Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. She's been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe the boy's scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world... gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could...<br /><br /> Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.<br /><br /> In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my young voice complained, "Don't do that anymore — your hands are too rough!" Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did. But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.<br /><br /> That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.<br /><br /> <strong>【中文译文】：</strong><br /><br /> 母亲总是在我入睡之后，为我掖好被子，然后俯下身子，轻轻拨开覆在我脸上的长发，亲吻我的前额。日复一日，母亲一直保持着这个习惯，即使我已不再是小孩子了，这一切却依然故我。<br /><br /> 不知从什么时候开始，母亲的这种习惯渐渐让我感到不悦----我不喜欢她那双布满老茧的手就这样划过我细嫩的皮肤。终于，在一个夜晚，我忍不住冲她吼了起 来：“你不要再这样了，你的手好粗糙！”母亲无言以对。但从此却再没有用这种我熟悉的表达爱的方式来为我的一天画上句号。<br /><br /> 日子一天天过去，随着时间的流逝，我却总是不由得想起那一夜。我开始想念母亲的那双手，想念她印在我前额上的“晚安”。这种渴望忽远忽近，但始终潜藏在我心灵深处的某个角落。<br /><br /> 若干年后，我成熟了，已不再是个小女孩了。母亲也已到了古稀之年，可她却始终没有停止过操劳，用她那双曾经被我视为“粗糙”的手为我和我的家庭做着力所能 及的事情。她是我们的家庭医生，小姑娘胃痛时，她会从药箱里找出胃药来，小男孩擦伤的膝盖时，她会去安抚他的伤痛。她能做出世界上最好吃的炸鸡，能把蓝色 牛仔裤上的污渍去得毫无痕迹......<br /><br /> 现在，我自己的孩子也已长大，有了自己的生活，母亲却没有了父亲的陪伴。有一次，恰好是感恩节前夜，我决定就睡在母亲旁边的卧室里，陪她度过这一夜。这是 我儿时的卧室，一切都是那么的熟悉，还有一只熟悉的手犹豫着从我的脸上掠过，梳理着我前额的头发，然后，一个吻，带着一如往日的温柔，轻轻落在了我的额 头。<br /><br /> 在我的记忆里，曾几千次再现那晚的情景和我那稚嫩的抱怨声：“你不要再这样了，你的手好粗糙！”我一把抓住母亲的手，一股脑说出我对那一晚深深的愧疚。我想，她一定和我一样，对那晚的事历历在目。然而，母亲却不知我再说些什么-----她早忘了，早已原谅我了。<br /><br /> 那天晚上，我带着对母亲新的感激安然入睡，我感激她的温柔，和她那呵护的双手。多年来压在我心头的负罪感也随之烟消云散。<p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/mothers-hand">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-2965858245569582507?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-14934743274069480282009-04-13T15:31:00.001+08:002009-04-13T15:31:44.057+08:00

Desperate Housewives <br />Temptation comes to all of us, whether or not we succumb depends on our ability to recognize its disguise.Sometimes it arrives in a form of an old flame, flickering back to life, or a new friend who could end up being so much more, or a young child who wakens feelings we didn't know we had.And so we give in to temptation all the while knowing come morning, we'll have to suffer the consequences.<br /><br /> 有时它们以闪回的火花形式出现；有时是一个意义深远的新朋友；有时是一个触发我们不曾有过的感觉的婴儿。每个人都会受到诱惑，我们是否屈服与诱惑决定于我们识破其伪装的能力。不过如果我们屈服于诱惑，那么第二天我们必须承担后果。<br /> <br />We've all done something in our lives us we are ashamed of.Some of us have fallen for the wrong man, some have let go of the right women, there're those who have humiliated their parents and those who have failed their children.Yes, we've all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love.But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow.<br /><br /> 我们都做过一些自己都感到惭愧的事。有些人爱错了人，有些人错过了爱；有些孩子使父母 丢脸，也有些家长让孩子失望。是的，我们都犯过错使我们爱的人离我们而去。但如果我们试着从这些错误中吸取教训并成长，就还有挽回的机会。<br /><br /> When the truth is ugly, people try to keep it hidden, because they know if revealed, the damage it will do.So they conceal it within sturdy walls, or they place it behind closed doors, or they obscure it with clever disguises.But truth , no matter how ugly, always emerges, and someone we care about always ends up getting hurt, and someone else will revel in their pain, and that's the ugliest truth of all.<br /><br /> 当真相很丑陋的时候，人们想法设法来掩盖它。因为他们知道如果被发现的话后果相当严重。所以他们用严实的墙来遮蔽它；或把真相关在紧闭的门后；或用聪明的 伪装使它们变得朦胧。但不管真相多么丑陋它们总会浮现，那些我们关心的人最后还是会受到伤害，而另外一些人却为他们的痛苦而快乐，这才是最丑陋的事实。<br /><br /> 以上部分转载自21色社区<br /><br /> As I look back at the world I left behind, it’s all so clear to me. The beauty that waits to be unveiled. The mysteries that long to be uncovered. But people so rarely stop to take a look. They just keep moving. It’s a shame, really. There’s so much to see.<br /><br /> 当我回头看身后的这个世界时，我看得如此的清晰，有那么多有待发现的美丽，和那么多有待揭幕的秘密。但人们很少会停下来看上一眼，他们只是不停地往前走。这真的很遗憾，有那么多值得一看的东西。<br /><br /> I remember the world. Every detail. And what I remember the most is how afraid I was. What a waste! You see, to live in fear, is not to live at all. I wish I could tell this to those I left behind, but would it do any good? Probably not. I understand now, there will always be those who face their fears... and there will always be those who run away.<br /><br /> 我记得这世界每一个细节，而我影响最深刻的是，我是如何害怕的，多么浪费！你看，生活在恐惧中不是生活的全部。我希望我能告诉这些给我之后的人，但是那会有用吗？也许不会。我现在明白了，总会有些人面对他们的恐惧……而有些人会选择逃跑。<br /><br /> People, by their very nature, are always on the lookout for intruders... trying to prevent those on the outside from getting in. But there will always be those who force their way into our lives... just as there will be those we invite in. But the most troubling of all will be the ones who stand on the outside looking in... the ones we never truly get to know.<br /><br /> 本能的都在寻找入侵者，阻止别人从外面闯入。但总有些人强行闯入我们的生活，正如那些被我们邀请进入我们生活圈的人一样。但最令人头痛的是，那些站在外面向里面偷窥的人，一些你根本无法真正去了解的人。<br /><br /> The search for power begins when we are quite young. As children, we were taught that the power of good triumphs over the power of evil. But as we get older, we realize that nothing is ever that simple. Traces of evil always remain...<br /><br /> 当我们还很小的时候，寻根究底的力量就开始显现了。孩子们被告知，正义的力量能战胜邪恶。当我们长大了，我们意识到没有什么事情如此简单。和邪恶的斗争，永不停息。<br /><br /> Competition, it means different things to different people. But whether it� a friendly rivalry... or a fight to the death, the end result is the same. There will be winners and there will be losers. Of course, the trick is to know which battles to fight. You see, no victory comes without a price.<br /><br /> 竞争因人而异，但是不管是友好竞争还是生死决斗，结果总是相同的――有赢家，也有输家。但是，诀窍是，懂得去参加什么样的竞争。要知道，胜利都是用代价换来的。<br /><br /> There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner. Of course, not everyone feels guilt over the bad things they do. In contrast, there are those who assume more than their share of the blame. There are others, who sooth their consciences with small acts of kindness. Or by telling themselves their sins were justified. Finally, there are the ones who simply vow to do better next time, and pray for forgiveness. Sometimes, their prayers are answered.<br /><br /> 有一本流行的书告诉我们“每个人都是罪人”。当然了，不是每个人看了这书都对他们所作的坏事感到愧疚。相反的，有些人认为那应该比应受的谴责更多；还有些 人用他们善意的小事安抚他们的良心；或者告诉他们自己，他们的罪行是正当的；最后，有些人会发誓，下次会做好些，然后为了饶恕而祈祷。有时，他们的祈祷被 回应了。<br /><br /> People are complicated creatures. On the one hand，able to perform great acts of charity. On the other, capable of the most underhanded forms of betrayal. It’s a constant battle that ranges within all of us, between the better angels of our nature, and the temptation of our inner demons. And sometimes the only way to ward off the darkness... is to shine the light of compassion.<br /><br /> 人是一种复杂的动物，一方面，在施舍上表现地很好，另一方面，却遭别人的背叛。我们每个人的愤怒是场持久战，在我们本性好的一面，和我们内心深处的黑暗面。<p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/desperate-housewives">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-595601192007388303?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-12782386610146641062009-03-14T17:13:00.001+08:002009-03-14T17:13:13.610+08:00
How keep fresh of love <br /><p> 如何让你们之间的爱情历久弥新？试试下面的方法：</p><p> 1. Start each day with a kiss--I think this one is not that hard; on the contrary; it can be healthy and nice. <br /><br /> 用一个吻迎接新的一天。接吻如此简单，却能令人身心愉悦。<br /> <br /> 2. Date once a week--May not as often as once a week, let's say every other week or that a date can be inside your home and that you don't have to go somewhere fancy to have it, you get the idea, right? <br /><br /> 一周约会一次。也不必非得一周一次，也可以两周一次。而且约会的地点可以在家中，不必非去什么特别的地方。你是不是明白了？有心就好。<br /><br /> 3. Accept differences--No one is perfect. However; healthy arguments are good for the relationship, hence; the most important thing would be learning how to compromise with one another. <br /><br /> 接受彼此的不同，因为人无完人。适度的争论可以增进双方的关系，但重要的是要在争论中懂得妥协。<br /> <br /> 4. Be polite--Please, thank you, you are welcome… these are not only meant for strangers; your own spouse and family should come first and you must always use these phrases inside your home. <br /><br /> 多用礼貌用语。请、谢谢、不客气这些话不只要说给陌生人听，更要说给你的伴侣和家人听。在家里要记得多用这些客气话。<br /><br /> 5. Be gentle--a person is supposed to be the closest to his/her spouse, being gentle is crucial to keep them close enough. <br /><br /> 温柔一些——若想关系亲密，温柔是至关重要的。<br /><br /> 6. Give gifts--nice small gifts are appreciated every once in a while. <br /><br /> 给对方送礼物——偶尔送些甜蜜小礼物，就能令对方感激不尽。<br /><br /> 7. Touch--intimacy between married people is very important and touching is a means of communication that reflects closeness, connection and love; it is your way of keeping the spark alive. <br /><br /> 抚触——情侣间的抚触非常重要，它可以增进情感，传达爱意。它是情感交流的一种方式，它可以让爱的火花常燃不熄。<br /><br /> 8. Talk about dreams--dreams of the future that is; if you don't share your dreams with your spouse; then who? <br /> <br /> 谈论梦想——说说对未来的憧憬。试想，若不和伴侣分享你的梦想，那么还能同谁讲呢？<br /> <br /> 9. Select a song that can be "our song" —— this sounds like a cliché, but it can be nice, don't you think? <br /><br /> 选一首歌作为“你俩的歌”——听起来有点老套，但是不是很美妙？<br /> <br /> 10. Laugh together--laughter is medicine. When you share good laughs together; the fun grows in the relationship and you grow closer and stronger every day. <br /><br /> 一起开怀大笑——笑是良药。当你俩一起开怀的时候，你们的关系也会伴随着笑声一天天地亲近和坚固起来。 <br /><br /> 11. Send a card for no reason--another cliché? Maybe, but everyone likes to receive a nice "I love you" or "I miss you" notes every once in a while. <br /><br /> 没什么缘由地送张卡片——又很老套吗？不过谁不喜欢时不时地收到些“我爱你”，“我想你”之类的卡片呢？ <br /><br /> 12. Listen--this could be the most important one ever, but note that you should listen with empathy and not just hear what they are saying; you should get involved. <br /><br /> 聆听——这非常重要，但注意聆听的时候你应该全情投入并参与其中，而不仅仅只是听到了对方说的话。 <br /><br /> 13. Encourage--positive support and being there for one another is also very important; seek their support and give them yours and be generous! <br /><br /> 鼓励——彼此支持是非常重要的。向对方寻求支持并慷慨地给予对方支持！ <br /><br /> 14. Do it his or her way--sometimes; you need to do things their way just to show how much you love them and respect their feelings. <br /><br /> 按照对方喜欢的方式行事——有时候，你可以按照对方喜欢的方式行事，并以此来传达你对伴侣的爱恋和尊重。 <br /><br /> 15. Know his or her needs--what good is a spouse if he/she does not know the needs of their significant others? This should be your primary concern! <br /><br /> 知道对方的需求——如果不知道另一半的需要，那还算什么好伴侣？这一点是首先需要留心的。</p><p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/how-keep-fresh-of-love">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-1278238661014664106?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101591742815800298.post-88705465659701976472009-03-12T22:41:00.001+08:002009-03-12T22:41:16.046+08:00
the value of love <br /><br clear="all" />Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.<br /><br /> Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.<br /><br /> When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.<br /> <br /> Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,<br /><br /> "Richness, can you take me with you?"<br /><br /> Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."<br /> <br /> Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"<br /><br /> "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat", Vanity answered.<br /> <br /> Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."<br /><br /> "Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"<br /><br /> Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you". It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"<br /><br /> "It was Time", Knowledge answered.<br /><br /> "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"<br /><br /> Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is".<br /> <br /> <strong>【中文译文】：</strong><br /><br /> 从前，情感们都居住在一座小岛上。他们中有喜悦、悲哀、博学……还有爱。一天，情感们接到通知，这座岛即将沉没。于是，他们纷纷造船逃离。除了爱。<br /><br /> 爱是唯一留下来的。爱想要坚持到最后一刻。<br /><br /> 岛就要沉了，爱决定求救。<br /><br /> 财富驾着一艘大船驶过来。爱问道：<br /><br /> “财富，你能带我走吗？”<br /> <br /> 财富回答说：“不，我不能。我的船上满载着金银财宝，没有多余的地方了。”<br /><br /> 虚荣乘的船驶过来了，那船美仑美奂。“虚荣，请救救我吧！”<br /><br /> “我帮不了你，爱。你浑身都湿透了，你会毁了我的船。”虚荣回答说。<br /><br /> 这时，悲伤的船经过了，爱请求道：“悲伤，让我跟你走吧。”<br /><br /> “噢……爱，我忧伤极了，我想独自一个人。”<br /><br /> 喜悦的船也经过了爱的身畔，但她太兴奋了，她没听到爱的呼唤。<br /> <br /> 突然，有个声音对爱说道：“来吧，爱，到我的船上来。”这是一位长者。爱如蒙圣恩，欣喜若狂，甚至忘了问他们要往哪儿去。抵达陆地后，长者径自离开了。怀着对长者的无限感激，爱问另一位长者博学：“救我的是谁？”<br /><br /> “是时间。”博学答道。<br /><br /> “时间？”爱问道：“时间为什么要救我呢？”<br /><br /> 博学意味深长地笑了，答道：“因为只有时间懂得爱是多么珍贵。”<p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://emma.posterous.com/the-value-of-love">Best of Emma</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101591742815800298-8870546565970197647?l=emmaslearning.blogspot.com'/></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00642422029228382431noreply@blogger.com0
