篇一
All I Learned in Kindergarten
1. Most of what I really need toknow abou thow to liveand what to do andhow to be, Ilearned inkindergarten.Wisdom was notatthe top of the graduate mountain, butthereinthe sandpile at nurseryschool.
1.大部分在生活中真正需要的，包括该怎样生活，该做些什么，又该怎样去做，这些都是我在幼儿园kindergarten时学会的。智慧wisdom不在研究生院的山巅之上，而在幼儿园的沙堆里。
2. These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people.Putthingsbackwhere you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren'tyours.Say you're sorrywhen you hurt somebody. Wash your handsbefore you eat.Warm cookiesand coldmilk are good for you. Liveabalanced life. Learnsomeand thinksome and draw andpaintand sing and dance and play and workeverydaysome.
2.以下就是我在幼儿园中学到的。分享所有的东西;行为光明磊落或公平待人play fair;不要攻击别人;东西要放回原处;自己弄脏的地方自己收拾好;不要拿走不属于自己的东西;如果你伤害了别人就得道歉;饭前洗手;热的甜点和凉的牛奶对身体有益;生活要有张有弛，学点东西、想点思想、写写画画、唱唱跳跳，休息玩耍和工作，每样事天天都要干一点。
3.Take a nap every afternoon.Whenyougo out into the world,watchfortraffic,holdhandsandstick together.Be aware of wonder.Remember the little seedinthe plastic cup? The rootsgo downand theplant goes upand nobody really knowshow orwhy, but we arealllike that.
3.每天下午小睡一会。当大家外出go out into the world时，注意交通安全，记得手挽手hold hands，彼此互相扶持stick together。多多注意那些生活的奇迹。Beaware ofwonder.你一定还记得那个塑料杯里的小小的种子吧，它不断的往下扎根，枝叶不断的向空中伸展。没有人真正知道它在怎样生长，也不知道是为了什么。但有一点很明白，我们也像他们一样地长大。
4. Goldfishandhamstersandwhitemiceandeven the little seed in the plastic cup-they all die. Sodo we.
4.看着金鱼、仓鼠以及小白鼠甚至是花盆中小小的一颗种子，最后他们的生命都将消亡。我们明白自己同样也不能避免。
5. And then remember the bookaboutDick and Janeand the first word you learned,thebiggest word of all: Look. Everything you need to knowisin there somewhere.TheGolden Ruleand love and basicsanitation.Ecologyand politiesand saneliving.
5.同时我们还记得《迪克和珍妮》的书，以及从书中学到的第一个词，也是最了不起的一个词：观察。你所需要了解的任何事情：包括6个方面，即为人的原则the Goden Rule、爱、应注意的基本卫生basicsanitation，生态环境ecology和政治哲学polities以及健全的生活方式sane living，你都能在该书的某个地方be in theresomewhere找到答案。
6. Think of what a better world it would beif we all-the whole world-hadcookies and milkabout 3 o'clock every afternoonand then lay downwith our blankets for a nap. Or if wehada basic policyin our nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned upour ownmesses. And it is still true,no matter how old you are,whenyou go out into theworld,it is better to hold handsand stick together.
6.想一想，如果我们大家--全世界所有的人--每天下午3点左右能够享受甜点和牛奶，然后盖上被单美美地睡上一小会儿;如果每一个国家都能够遵循一个基本的立国之道we havea basic policy in our nations，即东西放回原处，自己弄脏的地方自己收拾后，那么这个世界将是多么的美好啊what a better world itwouldbe，感叹句。无论你年龄有多大，当你出去时，当你进入社会之时，最好和别人手牵手，互相扶持，团结一致，无论如何，这是一个颠扑不破的真理这就是真理。
篇二
The Value of Time 时间的价值
1."Time" says the proverb "is money". Thismeansthatevery momentwell-spentmay put somemoney into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it willeitherproduce some usefulandimportantpiece of work whichwill fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experienceand increase our capacitiesso as toenable us to earn moneywhenthe properopportunitycomes.There can thus beno doubt thattime is convertible into money. Let thosewho thinknothing of wasting time定语从句remember this; letthem remember thatanhourmisspent is equivalenttothe loss of abanknote; and thatan hourutilizedistantamount toso much silver or gold; and then they willprobablythink twicebeforethey givetheir consent to the loss of any part of their time.
1、谚语proverb说：“时间就是金钱。Timeis money”这句话的意思是，一时片刻只要用得有效well-spent adj. 使用得当的;充分利用了的， 都会让我们的口袋增添一些钱。如果if我们的时间使用得当，就能生产出有用的、重要的产品piece of work工件，即产品，which引导的定语从句这些产品在市场上卖得fetch一定的价钱;就能充实add to经验，增长才干capacities，等到适当的时机opportunity来临时，我们就能挣得金钱enable us to earn money。因此，毫无疑问的是：时间可以转化为金钱convertible adj.可改变的;可变换的。让那些对浪费时间满不在乎的人记住这一点think nothing of 把...视为平常。让他们记住，浪费一小时等于be equivalent to损失一张钞票，而利用一小时就等于be tantamount to得到若干金银。这样，他们想浪费时间时或许会三思thinktwice而后行。
2.Moreover, our lifeis nothing more thanour time.To kill timeis thereforea form ofsuicide.We are shocked when wethink ofdeath, and we spareno pains, no trouble, and noexpensetopreserve life.But we aretoooften indifferent to 后跟名词或名词性短语 loss of anhour or of aday, forgettingthat our life isthe sum totalof the days and ofthe hourswe live定语从句.Aday or an hourwastedis thereforesomuch lifeforfeited. Let usbear this in mind, and wasteoftime will appear to usin the lightofa crimeas culpable assuicide itself.
2、再说，我们的生命无非就是be nothing more than我们活在人世的时间。因此，浪费时间也就是一种自杀a form of 一种...的形式。我们想到死，便惊恐不已，因而不惜一切努力、麻烦和费用来保全preserve我们的生命spare no pains 不遗余力，全力以赴。可是，我们对于损失一个小时或者一天的时间却往往漠不关心indifferentadj.，忘记了我们的生命原本就是我们生活的每一天、每一小时的总和。因此，浪费一天或一小时也就是丧失forfeited是forfeit的过去分词，此处是做定语一天或一小时的生命。让我们记住bear inmind这一点，这样就会把浪费时间看作in the light of一种罪过，跟自杀一样应该受到惩罚culpable adj. 应受处罚的。
3.There is a third considerationwhichwill also tend towarnusagainstloss of time. Our life isabrief spanmeasuringsome sixty or seventy years in all, but nearly one half of this has tobespentin sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some over dressingandundressing; some in makingjourneyson landandvoyages by sea;some in merry-making,eitheron ourown accountor forthe sake of others; some in celebrating religious andsocial festivities; somein watching overthe sick-beds of ournearest and dearestrelatives.Nowif all these years were to be deducted from thetermover which ourlifeextends, we shall find about fifteen or twenty years at ourdisposalfor active work.虚拟语气句型 Whoever remembers this canneverwillinglywaste a singlemoment of his life."Itisastonishing"says Lord Chesterfield, "thatanyone can squander awayin absoluteidlenessone single moment ofthat portion of timewhich is allotted to us in thisworld.Know the true value oftime;snatch,seize, and enjoy every moment of it!"
3、还有第三层考虑consideration，也会提醒我们别浪费时间warn against 警告...不要。人生短暂a brief span，总共in all不过六七十年，可是将近一半时间必须has to用于睡眠;吃饭时间加起来也得花去一些年; 穿衣脱衣又是一些年;水陆、陆路旅行journeys旅行;voyages长途旅行又是一些年;再加上一些年娱乐merry-make vi. 尽情欢乐时间不论是为自己还是为别人for the sakeof 为了;一些年庆祝宗教节日和社会节日festivity-festivities;还有一些年在病床sick-bed边照看watch over至亲至爱。现在如果从我们的寿命中扣除deductfrom所有这些岁月theterm，我们将会发现，能受我们支配的有效的工作时间大约仅十五或二十年而己disposal n.支配;处理。谁能记住这一点，谁就不会心甘情愿地willingly浪费他生命的每一刻时间。查斯特菲尔德勋爵说过，“对于分配给allot to我们这一生的时间，若有人游手好闲idlenessn.，即使浪费squanderaway片刻，也是令人吃惊的astonishing adj.。要认识到时间的真正价值，要争分夺秒snatch,seize，充分利用有限的时间。”
4.All time is precious; butthe time of our childhoodandofour youthismore preciousthanany other portion ofour existence, forthose are the periods whenalone wecanacquireknowledge and developour faculties and capacities. If weallowthese morning hoursof lifetoslip away,unutilized, we shall never be able torecoupthe loss. As we grow older,ourpower of acquisition gets blunted,sothatthe art or science which is not acquired inchildhood or youthwill never be acquired at all.Justasmoney laid out at interest doubles andtrebles itselfin time, so the precious hoursof childhoodand youth, if properly used, will yieldusincalculableadvantages. "Everymoment you lose" says Lord Chesterfield "is somuchcharacter and advantage lost; ason the other hand, everymomentyou nowemployusefully定语从句is so much time wisely laid out at prodigiousinterest."
4、所有的时间都是宝贵的precious，而我们童年和青年时期的光阴比一生中的其他阶段都更为宝贵，因为for只有在这两个阶段我们才能获取acquire知识、增长才干faculty-faculties和发展各种才能capacity-capacities。如果我们让这些生命的早晨时光悄悄溜走slipaway，未得到利用unutilized，这损失将永远也无法弥补recoup。等我们长大了，获得知识acquisition n.的能力就变得迟钝了blunt vt. 使迟钝adj.，因此在童年和青年时期未能获得的知识和技能将永远不能获得了。正像just as储蓄金钱，产生利息interest，到时候in time会翻两三倍doublesandtrebles itself一样，童年和青年时期的宝贵时光，如果使用得当，必将带来yield不可估量的收益incaluclableadvantages。查斯特菲尔德勋爵还说过，“丧失的每一时刻就等于丧失了与之相当的名和利。从另一方面看，你现在有效利用的每一时刻正是明智地以这时间作为投资，将来定会获取巨额的prodigious adj.利息。”
5.A proper employment of time is ofgreat benefit to usfrom amoralpoint of view. Idleness isjustlysaidto bethe rust of the mind andanidle brainis said to be Satan's workshop. It ismostlywhenyou do not knowwhat to dowith yourselfthat you do something ill or wrong.The mind of the idlerpreys upon itself. As Wattshas said:
In works of labor or of skill
Let me be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.
5、从道德的moral adj.观点来看，恰当地利用时间对我们也有很大的好处benefit。懒惰idleness据说是said to be心灵上的锈迹，懒人的头脑据说是撒旦的作坊，这话说得很有理。犯错误大多数是由于无所事事、百无聊赖所致。懒人只会自寻烦恼或作茧自缚prey upon掠夺;捕食。正如瓦茨所说，“我要勤快地工作，不管是粗活labor还是细活skill;因为撒旦还有些坏事mischief n. 恶作剧，专借懒人的手去做。”
篇三
English is a Crazy Language
1.Let's face it-English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham inhamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in Englandnor French friesin France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet,are meat.
1.让我们接受现实吧—英语是一种疯狂的语言。茄子eggplant，字面意为鸡蛋植物里并没有鸡蛋，汉堡包hamburger，字面意为火腿夹饼里也没有火腿。同样，菠萝pineapple，字面意为松树苹果里既没有松树也没有苹果。松饼Englishmuffin，字面意为英式松饼并不是英国人发明的，而炸薯条Frenchfries，字面意为法式油炸食品也不是法国人的发明。“甜肉”sweetmeat指的是蜜饯，而while“甜面包”sweetbread不是甜的，它指的是牛杂碎。
2. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we findthatquicksand canwork slowly, boxingrings are square and a guinea pig isneitherfrom Guinea nor is it a pig. nor引导的倒装句Andwhyit is thatwriters writebutfingers don't finge, grocers don't groce andhammers don'tham?Iftheplural of tooth is teeth,why isn'tthe plural ofbooth beeth?Ifyou haveone goose, two geese,whynotone moose, twomeese, or one index, two indices?
2.我们理所当然地接受了英语的一切，但是如果我们分析一下英语中似是而非的情况，我们马上就会发现“快的沙子”quicksand，流沙，也只陷阱，困境往往走得很慢，“拳击的圆圈”boxing rings，拳击场是方的，“几内亚猪”guinea pig，天竺鼠既不是来自几内亚，也不是猪。还有，既然名词作家writers去掉词尾的rs就可以成为动词“写作write”，那为什么名词“手指”fingers、杂货店grocers、锤子hammers去掉rs就不能成为各自相应的动词呢?如果牙齿的复数是teeth，那为什么售货亭的复数不是beeth?一只鹅我们用goose，两只鹅用geese，那么，一只驼鹿用moose单复数同形，两只驼鹿就应该是meese了?为什么一条索引是index，两条索引却成了indices?
3. Doesn'titseem crazythatyou can make amends but not one amend, orthatyou can combthrough the annals of historybut nota single annal? If youhave a bunch ofodds and endsand get rid of all butone of them, what do you call it?
3.如果你赔偿时只能赔偿复数不能赔偿单数，这是不是很莫名其妙?你可以梳理历史的编年史，为什么却不能梳理某一个单个的编年史?如果你有一堆麻烦a bunchof odds and ends，那么在你把其他的都解决了只剩下一个get rid of all but one of them的时候该怎么说呢?amends: n. 赔罪, 赔偿; amend: v.改良; 修改,修订; annals: n. 编年史; annal: n. 记录
4.Ifteachers taught,whydidn'tpreachers praught?Ifa vegetarian eatsvegetables,whatdoesahumanitarian eat?
4.如果教师教学是taught，那为什么传教士传教不是praught?如果素食主义者vegetarian吃蔬菜vegetable，那人道主义者humanitarian吃什么?
5. Sometimes I thinkall the English speakersshould be committed toanasylum fortheverbally insane. Inwhatotherlanguage do people recite at a play andplay at arecital; shipby truck andsendcargoby ship; havenoses that runandfeet that smell; park ondrivewaysand drive on parkways?
5.有时候我觉得根据英国人说话时疯狂的用词可以将他们送进精神病院asylum。哪一种语言人们可以在一出戏中朗诵，在朗诵中玩分别指演戏 和开独唱会?用卡车运船，用船运货分别指用卡车运输和用船运输; ship v. 运送; n. 船,舰?鼻子可以跑而脚可以闻味道分别指流鼻涕和脚有臭味?车可以停在驾驶路上，而且在停车路上驾驶driveway从字面上理解是驾驶路，实际是车道;parkway从字面上理解是停车路，实际是公园道路、驾车专用道路。
6.Howcanaslim chance anda fat chancebethe same, while a wise man and wise guy areopposites,andquite a lot and quite afew arealike?Howcan the weather behotas hellonedayand coldas hellanother?
6.为什么一个苗条的机会slim chance，指没机会和一个肥胖的机会fat chance，也指没机会意思是一样的，而一个聪明的人wiseman，聪明人和一个聪明的家伙wise guy，自作聪明的人却意思相反opposite?为什么相当多quite a lot和相当少quite a few意思一样alike?实际上quite alot和quite a few都是指相当多。为什么天气可以热的像地狱也可以冷得像地狱?as hell字面意思像地狱一样，实际指“非常地”
7. You have tomarvelatthe unique lunacy of a language in which your house canburn up asit burns down, in which you fill ina formby filling it outand in which an alarmclock goes off bygoingon.
7.你不得不对这种精神病一样的语言the unique lunacy of a language表示惊奇marvel at，在这种语言中，你的房子在被烧下去burn down，意为烧毁的同时as又被烧上去burn up，意为烧起来，烧掉。你用填出来fill out，意为填写的方法填进去fillin, 意思也是填写一个表格form。闹钟在走goon的时候响go off了。
8. English was invented by people,notcomputers, and it reflectsthe creativityofthe humanrace. That is why,whenthe stars are out, they are visible,but whenthe lights are out, theyareinvisible.And why,whenI wind up my watch, Istart it,but whenIwind upthis essay, I end it?
8.英语是人而不是机器创造出来的语言，它反映了人类的创造性。这也是为什么当星星出来的时候，我们是看得见的，当阳光出来的时候是它们却看不见的。同理，我“处理”我的手表之后，它就开始走了;而我“处理”完这篇文章后，它却结束了。
