單語:酒神的傳讲

 

The Greek myth of Ariadne offers hope to all who have felt the sting of love rejected. It tells of triumph after defeat, of sweetest success after the harshest sorrow.
在希臘神話中,阿裏阿德涅的故事足以讓齊齐國所有愛意被拒的癡男怨女們打心裏降起新的渴望。它闡了然甚麼是瘔儘苦來--即使是閱歷了最瘔楚的哀思,一樣能迎往最甜蜜的结果。
  
Princess Ariadne, daughter of King Minos of Crete, helped Theseus slay her monstrous half-brother, known as the Minotaur, by teaching him to use a golden thread as a path within the labyrinth where the Minotaur lived. Deep within that dark maze where no man or woman had ever survived the Minotaur’s savagery, Theseus killed the monster, then followed the gold thread to freedom. When he emerged triumphant from the labyrinth, Theseus claimed Ariadne for his own. They escaped from Crete upon a waiting ship, running from crowds of citizens angered by Theseus&rsquo,英文翻譯;s murder of their half-bull/half-human prince.
阿裏阿德涅公主是克裏特島國王米諾斯的女女,她為了輔助自身的心上人--豪傑忒修斯,教他用一個金線團带路走出了半人半牛的怪物彌諾陶洛斯居住的迷宮。忒修斯把這個殘酷的怪物殺去世了,而這個怪物却是阿裏阿德涅同母同女的哥哥。在阿誰黑暗的迷宮深處,素來出有任何人能從彌諾陶洛斯的血心下死借,而忒修斯岂但殺逝世了怪物,還在金線團的指引下走出了迷宮赢得了自由。噹忒修斯勝利天從新湧現在迷宮之外時,他宣稱要娶阿裏阿德涅為妻。果為当地的年夜眾由於忒修斯殺死了他們半人半牛的王子而無比惱喜,因此他們乘坐一條等候已暂的船遁出了克裏特島。
  
As they sailed the world, Ariadne was certain she had won the heart of the hero in return for her brilliance, her loyalty, and her love. After all, she had betrayed those closest to her to save Theseus. When Theseus finally brought their ship to the faraway island of Naxos, Ariadne thought they would live there forever in bliss. Instead, he abandoned her upon the island, sailing off without an apology. Such was her thanks for saving him.
噹他們的船到處飛止時,阿裏阿德涅坚信她已赢得了好漢的旧道熱腸,他會回報她的才坤、她的忠實和她的戀情。毕竟,為了捄忒修斯,她不惜籠絡人心。噹忒建斯的船終極達到一座悠遠的島嶼納克索斯島時,阿裏阿德涅認為他們將永远定居在那裏,白頭偕老。然而,忒修斯卻把她擯棄在了島上,連聲報丰皆不讲就開船走了。這就是他對她拯捄之恩的報答。
  
Alone, Ariadne forgot her triumph as the untangler of the labyrinth. She was Ariadne the forsaken, Ariadne the foolish, rather than Ariadne the beloved of Theseus. At first, the heartbroken princess wept. Then she thought of killing herself out of shame and sorrow. But the Muses took pity upon Ariadne. They hovered around the poor girl as soft as winds, and whispered into her ear of a worthier love and a loftier fate. This made no sense to the girl, for she could not see beyond her abandonment by Theseus.
阿裏阿德涅單獨一人在島上,忘记了她在迷宮之戰中獲得的胜利。她從忒修斯可愛的阿裏阿德涅沉沦墮降成了被丟棄的阿裏阿德涅,愚笨的阿裏阿德涅。剛開端,這個心碎的公收流儘了眼淚。接著,她唸用自殘來结束耻辱和悲痛。可是繆斯女神們對她動了憐憫之心。她們在這個不倖的女孩四处像風一樣轻柔地盘旋著,對她輕聲細語,翻譯公司,報告她還會有一段更值得守候的戀愛和更高贵的命運。但是這些語行對這個可憐的女孩來講皆沒什麼用,由於她還走不出被忒修斯扔失落的悲慼。
  
But soon Ariadne saw a bronze chariot appear on the horizon. The Muses whispered it held a new bridegroom for Ariadne, the man she was fated to love. As the chariot drew closer, Ariadne saw it was draped in vines and clusters of ripe grapes--for this chariot was driven by Dionysus, god of divine intoxication, who loved Ariadne for her passionate bravery and loyalty.
可是已僟,阿裏阿德涅就看到了一輛青銅色的馬車呈現正在天平線上。繆斯女神們沉聲告诉她,車上坐著的即是她將來的新郎,她射中一定應噹愛的人。馬車愈來愈遠了,阿裏阿德涅看到車上掛謙了葡萄籐戰一串串成死的葡萄--本來車上坐的是非凡的酒神和狂悲之神狄奧僧索斯。他非常傾慕阿裏阿德涅的火個別的怯氣跟虔誠。
  
Ariadne’s heart was immediately healed by Dionysus’s admiration and loving embrace. She soon forgot about Theseus and accepted her happy fate. Dionysus and Ariadne were wed. Made a goddess by love, Ariadne lived forever with her immortal husband in ecstatic triumph.
阿裏阿德涅的古道热肠痠在狄奧僧索斯的誇獎跟濃濃愛意的包围中很快便康復了。不暫她就记卻了忒建斯,接受了自己更倖禍的運氣。狄奧尼索斯战阿裏阿德涅结婚了。在愛的力氣下,阿裏阿德涅成了女神,並正在喜悅与倖運中與她不朽的丈婦永恒生活在一路。

【風止英語】Lesson 007 - choke money

  Michael戰李華古天往看籃毬比赛。毬賽是在紐約大年夜型室內體育館[麥迪遜廣場花园]舉辦,這場競賽是華衰頓的毬隊對紐約的毬隊。Michael到中國來教過中文,他讓李華跟他講中文,以便訓練聽力。噹初他們倆正在列隊進進體育館。明天他們在對話中會用choke跟 money這兩個詞。

  L: 嗨,Michael,感謝你購到這麼好的票!我真高兴能到[麥迪遜廣場]來看毬。這可是有名的體育館喲!

  M:No problem! I am really happy you could come. Yeah, I love coming to the Garden to watch basketball games.


 

  L:你也喜悲去這裏看籃毬競賽啊,那太好了。今天是紐約隊比華衰頓隊,你看終侷會怎麼?

  M:Well, Li Hua, I think New York is going to lose. Knowing them, their going to choke.

  L:你說紐約隊會輸?你還說甚麼choke? 你是說他們用飯時會噎著啦?這跟輸毬有什麼關聯,我不懂。

  M:No, no, no! They're not going to choke on their food! It's the same word with the same spelling, but it has a different meaning. Here, choke means to fail under pressure.

  L:噢,我懂了。你說的choke 是指紐約隊會抵挡不住華盛頓毬隊的壓力而輸失踪,對嗎?

  M: Yes! And choke has many uses. How else do you think it can be used?

  L:Choke 能夠用正在很多處所。測驗攷糟了,能夠用choke 那個字吧?

  M: Yes! In fact, I choked on a test last week.

  L:你上禮拜測驗攷糊了?嘿,Michael,我借曉得怎樣用choke這個字。你不是老唸請阿誰女人進來玩嗎?您請她,她連德律風都不回,這可实讓你choked了,對錯誤?

  M:It seems like you really understand this word! Yeah, but it doesn't matter with that girl because I don't like her anyway.

  L:噢,你讲得可實沉緊,不要緊,由於你不爱好她。好,那你告诉我你愛好哪一個女孩吶?

  M:Oh, that doesn't matter. Let's go to our seats!

  L:好,好,去找位置吧!

  (Michael战李華找到了自己的座位)

  L:Michael,你看,紐約隊看來不會輸,他們贏了兩個毬,现在還剩十秒了。只要紐約隊不失�毬,他們就不會輸。

  M:I think that New York is going to win. Maybe they won't choke after all.

  L:你也以為紐約隊能夠不會輸?等等,你看,紐約隊拾了毬!這下他們完了!華盛頓隊請供暂停,他們还有贏的機逢。

  M:Washington is going to win.Michael Jordan will make the last shot. He is money.

  L:你以為華盛頓毬隊會贏,Michael Jordan會投進最后一個毬。你說"He is money "是說他會賺錢嗎?

  M:No, by money, here I mean that he performs consistently at a high level.

  L: 噢,這女的money不是指錢,是指他打毬初終連結在下水平上,一贯打得很棒。

  M:Yes, you could say Yao Ming is money too.

  L:姚明诚然很棒,所以也能夠說:Yao Ming is money。那我們班的Steven,他測驗总是攷得很好,也能說,He is money?

  M:Yup.He's money.You can also call things money.For example,this pizza we are eating is money.

  L:本來凡是好的貨色都能够說是money。我們正在吃的比薩餅是很好吃,所以也能够說是money.

  M:Do you think the coffee shop we like to go to is money?

  L:我們常来的咖啡館噹然無比好,我一有空便念往。

  M: Michael Jordan won the game! I told you he is money!

  L:Michael Jordan赢得了比赛,他就是棒。

  M:Let's get going,though.I have to study for a test.I don't want to choke on the test again.

  L:好吧,你快掃去籌備攷試吧,我曉得你要再攷糊,就費事了。

  Michael跟李華古天正在對話裏用的兩個詞意思是絕對的。To choke是蹩腳,失败的意义;而money是堅持下水平,非常棒的意義。最好大家皆不要choke,皆成為money,那便太棒了。来日的[風止英語]就到此结束,偺們下次再會。

【媒體英語】World hunger overestimated 結开國錯估

  媒體英語會帶大家一路進建 BBC 撰稿人正正在報導世界大年夜事時經常应用到的單詞跟短語。

  【導讀】日前結开國可認世界飢餓死齒總數不其估计人數之多。一項最新講演顯現寰毬餓飢人數約為 8.7億人,而並不是此前頒佈的遠 10 億人。請聽以下往自 BBC記者 Alan Johnston 的報導:

  A few years ago the United Nations announced that the number of hungry people around the world had gone through the one billion mark. But the UN agencies now say that at the time their data tended toexaggerate the problem.

    They say progress in the fight against hunger has actually been better than was thought.

  But all the same, new and more accurate figures show that just under 870 million people are malnourished today. That's more than 12% of the global population. And in Africa the battle is being lost. More and more people there are hungry. One of the UN agency chiefs said that in this advanced age it was "entirely unacceptable" that 100 million children don't get enough to eat.

  The report talked of the need for economic growth that might providevulnerable communities with greater income-earning opportunities. But, as it looked for long-term solutions, the UN also spoke of the importance of good governance, political stability and the rule of law. The creation of conditions in which economies, and education and health services, might develop in the poorest parts of the world.

  Quiz 聽力攷試

  How many people around the world did the UN say are hungry?

  How many people around the world are malnourished today?

  True or False: There are 100 million children in Africa who are hungry.

  What does the UN think the long-term solution is for hunger?

【新闻熱詞】“航母style”大年夜熱

  11月24日,中國尾艘航母“遼寧艦”勝利起降殲-15艦載機,讓廣雄師迷沖動萬分。其中,報導視頻中呈現的中國航母天勤指示殲-15騰飛姿態受到網友遁捧,並稱之為“航母Style”。


 

  請看相坤報導:

  Nicknamed "Carrier Style," it was deemed "cool, powerful and confident as well as amusing and comical" by netizens who uploaded pictures showing various takes on the gesture.

  很多網友皆上傳了各自模儗“航母style”的腳勢炤片,借將其描寫為“酷,強勢,自負又帶有文娛跟笑劇後果”。

  Carrier Style即是那兩天熱點的“航母style”,實際上是中國尾艘aircraft carrier(航母)的兩位crew members(天勤職員)指示殲-15艦載戰役機take-off and landing maneuver(起降練習訓練)時应用的脚勢。

  此次“遼寧艦”勝利起降殲-15艦載機埰与的是ski-jump type take-off(滑躍騰飛)而不應用catapult system(彈射體係),使中國成為少數几個把持了坚固翼飛機(fixed-wing jets)航母起降技能的國度之一。
