    提示语的英语翻译


    在中国的公共场所,我们随处都可以看到“禁止入内”、“禁止踏草坪”以及“违者罚款”等字眼。对大多数国人而言,这些司空见惯的字眼似乎并无不妥。 但随着国门的打开,对外经济、文化的交流和发展以及人口素质的整体提高,让国外友人看见这些警示牌,可能会产生异议。一方面似乎显出中国国民素质不高,连 这些事情都需要下令禁止,另一方面也会破坏公共场所应有的宽松随意之人文气氛。


    “禁止”翻译成英语就是“Don't”,在英文 中,“Don't”口气比较生硬,缺乏委婉之意。如“Don't pick the flowers”(禁止摘花),“Don't throw something out of the train”(禁止往车窗外扔东西),“Don't tread on the lawn”(禁止践踏草坪),“Don't make noise”(禁止喧哗)等,这些句子无论是在语法上还是意思上都非常正确,但并不建议大家这么翻译。因为“Don't”使这些句子语气显得太重,易使人 产生距离感。


    公共场合应该营造的是一种快乐随意的气氛,让大家身心愉快。一定程度的善意提醒是必要的,但是应该尽力避免生硬。 而且英语是一种比较强调委婉的语言,一般不会在公园这样的地方使用Don't这样生硬的词。如“禁止摘花”可译做“Keep away from the flowers , please .”或者“Take care of the flowers, please.”同样表达一个意思,但这两句让人看了很舒服,一种爱花的心情油然“牌”上,与竖牌人的初衷一致。尤其“take care of”短语本身带有拟人色彩,将花看成是一个baby(孩子),提醒人们像爱护和关心baby一样去爱护花木。如此,树立这个牌子的目的便达到了。再比 如,“Don't make noise”(禁止喧哗)这种牌子也经常看到,我们完全可以将它译为“Quiet , please.”既简练,又标准。因此公共场合不用“Don't”照样能够达到如期的效果。


    此外有些公共场所的提示语在英语中 往往有其固定的用法,如“No spitting”(禁止吐痰),“No smoking”(禁止吸烟)等等,需要提醒一点的是,No与Don't不一样,前者更多地被用在中性语境中。我们见到“不许动”,脑海中立即闪现 “Don't move”, 而事实上外国警察所说的却是“Freeze”,或者“Hold it”。见到“动我就打死你”自然想到“If you move, I'll shoot you.”,而外国警察常说的却是“Move and you are dead, man.”所以,我们应该掌握外国人在类似情况下的表达习惯,而不是按照自己的思维和表达方式进行翻译,虽然有时词可达意,但毕竟不够地道。

    26条80后的生存法则

    A active 积极无论是在生活,还是工作上,他们都拥有积极奋发,进取乐观的心态。

    B brave 勇敢勇敢是大丈夫能屈能伸,是面对竞争对手时淡定从容,是用心征服浩瀚宇宙的磅礴大气。

    C civilization 文明你可以无视纪律,但你绝对不能无视文明。

    D dreamer 梦想家他们个个都是小说高手,热衷于表现自我想象力的社会生活,用奇幻的色彩去架构文学。

    E entertainment 娱乐在80后的生存哲学里,可以不逛街,可以不泡吧,但绝对不允许你没有娱乐精神。

    F fashion 时尚他们有各自的审美与品位,来打造专属自己的美丽“模板”。

    G green 绿色他们把“绿色环保”的精神运用到消费态度上,所以选择小排量汽车,低油耗,低排放。

    H help 帮助在5·12汶川大地震面前,80后从未吝啬自己的一只手。

    I innovate 创新他们大胆尝试,凭借一种“初生牛犊不怕虎”的锐气挑战无数的可能与极限。

    J justice 正义站在法律与道德的边缘,他们一次又一次挺身而出,让正义得到匡扶,公平得到维护。

    K knowledgeable 知识有学识,这是80后男女交友的最低标准,如果才貌兼备,那你就是香饽饽了。

    L loyal 忠诚对自己的职业忠诚,对家人朋友忠诚,对自己的国家忠诚,这永远都不是一个落伍的动词。

    M miracle 奇迹《士兵突击》里的“不抛弃,不放弃”成了许多80后MSN、QQ的个性签名。只有坚持才会成功,才会出现生命中的奇迹。
    N nature 自然 他们主张崇尚自然,连穿着都在体现自然的淳朴。

    O optimistic 乐观 80后是典型的乐观主义者,他们想做就做,想说就说,做过的事绝不后悔,要挑战就挑最好的。

    P power 力量 80后们有力量,他们正成为职场生力军,创业生力军,车市生力军,消费生力军……

    2008-09-17 07:27:08


    The day that you see me old

    Dear son...

    The day that you see me old and I am already not, have patience and try to understand me …

    If I get dirty when eating… if I can not dress… have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.

    If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one

    times… do not interrupt me… listen to me

    When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep…

    When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me…

    Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath…

    When yousee my ignorance on new technologies… give me the necessary time and not look at me with your

    mocking smile…

    I taught you how to do so many things… to eat good, to dress well… to confront life…

    When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our

    conversation… let me have the necessary time to remember… and if I cannot do it,

    do not become nervous… as the most important thing is not my

    conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…

    If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not.

    When my tired legs do not allow me walk...

    … give me your hand… the same way I did when you gave your first steps.

    And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more…

    that I want to die… do not get angry… some day you will understand…

    Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.

    Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted

    the best thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you..

    You must not feel sad, angry or impotent for seeing me near you. You

    must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when

    you started living.

    Help me to walk… help me to end my way with love and patience. I will

    pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

    I love you son…

    Your father

    译文:
    孩子…..

    哪天你看到渐渐老去,身体也渐渐不行,请耐着性子试着了解我……

    如果我吃的脏兮兮,如果我不会穿衣服……

    有耐性一点……

    你记得我曾花多久时间教你这些事吗?

    如果,当我一再重复述说

    同样的事情…不要打断我,听我说….

    你小时候,我必须一遍又一遍的读着同样的故事,直到你静静睡着……..

    当我不想洗澡,不要羞辱我也不要责骂我……

    你记得小时后我曾编出多少理由,只为了哄你洗澡…..

    当你看到我对新科技的无知,给我一点时间,不要挂着嘲弄的微笑看着我

    我曾教了你多少事情啊….如何好好的吃,好好的穿…

    如何面对你的生命……

    如果交谈中我忽然失忆不知所云,给我一点时间回想…

    如果我还是无能为力,

    请不要紧张…..

    对我而言重要的不是对话,而是能跟你在一起,和你的倾听…..

    当我不想吃东西时,不要勉强我.

    我清楚知道该什么时候进食

    当我的腿不听使唤….

    扶我一把….

    如同我曾扶着你踏出你人生的第一步….

    当哪天我告诉你不想再活下去了….请不要生气….

    总有一天你会了解…

    试着了解我已是风烛残年,来日可数.

    有一天你会发现,

    即使我有许多过错,我总是尽我所能要给你最好的…

    当我靠近你时不要觉得感伤,生气或无奈

    你要紧挨着我,如同我当初帮着你展开人生一样的

    了解我,帮我….

    扶我一把,用爱跟耐心帮我走完人生…

    我将用微笑和我始终不变无边无际的爱来回报你

    我爱你孩子

    你的父亲

  • 美丽的微笑与爱心

    2008-09-16 07:31:00

     美丽的微笑与爱心
      The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition,and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "thank you"  and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. Iwould have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[阴沟、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for." And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.

      I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives[修行者、沉思冥想的人] in the heart of the world. For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours…And I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace, just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.

      And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace be the good news to the poor. The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be wove with prayer. They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering…When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable…And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.

    译文:
      穷人是非常了 不起的人。一天晚上,我们外出,从街上带回了四个人,其中一个生命岌岌可危。于是我告诉修女们说:“你们照料其他三个,这个濒危的人就由我来照顾了。”就 这样,我为她做了我的爱所能做的一切。我将她放在床上,看到她的脸上绽露出如此美丽的微笑。她握着我的手,只说了句“谢谢您”就死了。我情不自禁地在她面 前审视起自己的良知来。我问自己,如果我是她的话,会说些什么呢?答案很简单,我会尽量引起旁人对我的关注,我会说我饥饿难忍,冷得发抖,奄奄一息,痛苦 不堪,诸如此类的话。但是她给我的却更多更多――她给了我她的感激之情。她死时脸上却带着微笑。我们从排水道带回的那个男子也是如此。当时,他几乎全身都 快被虫子吃掉了,我们把他带回了家。“在街上,我一直像个动物一样地活着,但我将像个天使一样地死去,有人爱,有人关心。”真是太好了,我看到了他的伟大 之处,他竟能说出那样的话。他那样地死去,不责怪任何人,不诅咒任何人,无欲无求。像天使一样――这便是我们的人民的伟大之所在。因此我们相信耶稣所说的 话――我饥肠辘辘――我衣不蔽体――我无家可归――我不为人所要,不为人所爱,也不为人所关心――然而,你却为我做了这一切。

      我想,我 们算不上真正的社会工作者。在人们的眼中,或许我们是在做社会工作,但实际上,我们真的只是世界中心的修行者。因为,一天24小时,我们都在触摸基督的圣 体。我想,在我们的大家庭时,我们不需要枪支和炮弹来破坏和平,或带来和平――我们只需要团结起来,彼此相爱,将和平、欢乐以及每一个家庭成员灵魂的活力 都带回世界。这样,我们就能战胜世界上现存的一切邪恶。

      我准备以我所获得的诺贝尔和平奖奖金为那些无家可归的人们建立自己的家园。因为 我相信,爱源自家庭,如果我们能为穷人建立家园,我想爱便会传播得更广。而且,我们将通过这种宽容博大的爱而带来和平,成为穷人的福音。首先为我们自己家 里的穷人,其次为我们国家,为全世界的穷人。为了做到这一点,姐妹们,我们的生活就必须与祷告紧紧相连,必须同基督结结一体才能互相体谅,共同分享,因为 同基督结合一体就意味着互相体谅,共同分享。因为,今天的世界上仍有如此多的苦难存在……当我从街上带回一个饥肠辘辘的人时,给他一盘饭,一片面包,我就 能使他心满意足了,我就能躯除他的饥饿。但是,如果一个人露宿街头,感到不为人所要,不为人所爱,惶恐不安,被社会抛弃――这样的贫困让人心痛,如此令人 无法忍受。因此,让我们总是微笑想见,因为微笑就是爱的开端,一旦我们开始彼此自然地相爱,我们就会想着为对

    It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
    只有付出的爱是痛苦的,但比这更痛苦是爱一个人却没有勇气让那人知道你的感情。
    A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you,only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
    生命中令人悲伤的一件事是你遇到了一个对你来说很重要的人,但却最终发现你们有缘无份,因此你不得不放手。
    The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with,never say a word,and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
    最好的朋友就是那种能和你促膝而坐,彼此不说只字片语,分别时却感到这是你有过的最好的一次交流!
    It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
    的确只有当我们失去时才知道曾拥有的是什么,同样,只有当我们拥有了才知道曾经失去了什么。
    It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,an hour to like someone,and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
    迷上某人只需一分钟,喜欢上某人需要一小时,爱上某人则要一天,然而,忘记某人却是一辈子的事情。
    Don't go for looks;they can deceive. Don't go for wealth;even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
    别倾心于容貌,因为它具有欺骗性,也别倾心于财富,它也会消散,倾心于那个能带给你笑容的人吧,因为一个笑容能使漫漫长夜如白昼般明亮。
    Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
    做你想做的梦吧,去你想去的地方吧,成为你想成为的人吧,因为你只有一次生命,一个机会去做所有那些你想做的事。
    Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the person too.
    要设身处地的为别人着想, 如果一双鞋你穿着夹脚, 别人的感觉可能也一样。
    A careless word may kindle strife;a cruel word may wreck a life;a timely word may level stress;a loving word may heal and bless.
    无心快语可能引发争执,无情之词可能折损生命,适时温语可能消弭压力,而关爱之声可能治愈心灵。
    The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
    幸福之人并非拥有一切,只是尽力享受生活的赐予。
    Love begins with a smile,grows with a kiss,ends with a tear. When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.
    爱情以笑开始,以吻转浓,以泪结束。当你哭着降临人世时,身边的每个人都在为此欢笑,好好生活吧,这样你就能含笑离开人世,而身边的每个人都在为此哭泣。
  • [论坛] 英语翻译中的对译和艺术加工

    2008-09-14 07:32:21

    英语翻译中的对译和艺术加工



           由于不同语言文字之间的对应情况各有差别,有的可以完全对应,有的只能部分对应。因此,翻译时需要进行一些特殊处理,如使用完全对译和部分对译相结合的方法,进行艺术加工等,现以英汉对译为例,分别举例简述如下:

          一 部分对译

            遇到多义词时,要根据它在上下文的意思去确定它的哪一种词义同汉语(中文)相对应,或者接近之后,才能决定取舍,例如:

             a. We are today forwarding you our new test key under separate cover. (信封、封套) 

             b. Who has torn the cover of my book? (封面)

            碰到一词多义的情况时,一定要根据上下文去找到对应或接近的词,切忌望文生义。银行信贷业务中常说发放贷款,英语的发放二字可用make、issue、 launch等,如发放贷款可译作to launch a loan。但这里的launch一词用在别处意思就不同了。如to launch a movement, campaign, drive搞运动、活动;to launch a training program, class, course举办培训班,to launch a satellite发射卫星。

          二 完全对译

            凡专有名词、专业术语等一般都采用此种方法对译,不涉及到一词多义的问题,所以比较好处理,例如:

             a. European Economic Community(EEC)欧洲经济共同体(欧共体)

             b. National Bank of Pakistan 巴基斯坦国民银行

          三 艺术加工

            翻译是一种再创造的工作,这已成为人们的共识,简单对译的情况很少,即使是完全在字义上的对译,也会发生语序的变化,如:英语说"go to see the doctor"(直译为去看医生),而汉语却习惯说"去看(瞧)病"。反之,汉语说"恢复疲劳"(最好说"解除疲劳"),英语却习惯说"relax one's mind or relax oneself"(让大脑放松),绝对不能按字面意思对译成"resume fatigue"(又疲劳了),初学英语者常犯类似的错误。又如:外国直接投资,常译成"direct foreign investment"(直接的外国投资),也有译作"foreign direct investment"的。笔者认为后者较好,因为强调投资方式的修饰语"直接"一词紧靠其前,符合英语习惯。

            汉语总是把较重要的修饰词放在所有修饰词的前面,如:他是一位杰出的受人爱戴的优秀教师。这里强调的是他作出了杰出贡献,是优秀者当中的尖子。可是,英语 中还有一个习惯,如果有几个形容词同时修饰一个名词,形容词的顺序是由短到长,最长的紧靠名词的前面,特别是在演讲稿中,读起来铿锵有力,富于乐感,更能 打动听众。因此,上面这句话应翻译成:He is a good, beloved and outstanding teacher.

  • 英语是读出来的

    2008-09-12 07:24:31

    英语是读出来的
    学习任何语言都需要大量阅读。学习英语也需要大量阅读。英语学得好的人,一般说来,都读过相当数量的书;反之,也只有读得比较多的人,才能真正学好英 语。这个道理虽然简单,但不少学习英语的人却未必明白。时下,很多人都热衷于做题目,以为这是学习英语的正确途径。结果做的练习册一本又一本,试题集一套 又一套,做得头昏眼花,兴趣全无,英语水平却并没有实质性提高。

        学习英语的确要做适当练习。但我认为,归根结底,好的英语是“读”出来的,不是做练习“做”出来的。“读”出来的英语是地道的、自然的,因为使用者依持的是“语感”;“做”出来的英语往往流于生硬,因为使用者是依赖“语法规则”硬“做”的。

        一谈到阅读,人们便不由自主地想到“苦读”。如果把这两个字理解成读书需要花功夫,倒也有理。但如果认为阅读一定是很苦的,很少有欢乐,那就大错特错了。 然而,目前的很多英语学习者都视英语阅读为苦事,常常是不得已而为之。教师让学生读点英语材料,就像给孩童吃中药,需要捏着鼻子硬灌下去。自然效果也不会 好。

        阅读英语应当轻松愉快,也可以轻松愉快。要做到这一点,阅读材料的选择是首要的。也就是说,要选择生动、有趣、富有吸引力而又能启发心智的材料(或书 籍)。这类书具有以下几个共同特点:一、可读性很强,让人立即产生阅读的欲望,一旦上手,就放不下来了,不会感到学英语是沉重的负担了。二、容易读,不大 会产生阅读障碍。三、有助于扩大知识面,提高文化素养。

        至于阅读的方法,我主张一口气读下去,即便有个别单词挡道,只要不影响整体内容的理解,就不必停下来查词典,更没有必要见到好句子停下来就抄。因为那样会 打断思路,影响阅读速度,甚至扼杀阅读的兴趣。不要以为读完一本书没有记下某个词语或某个句子就是一无所得。阅读的主要目的在于语言吸收上的“潜移默化 ”,在于获得语感。阅读需要“量”,没有大量的语言“输入”,是难以学好英语的。而我们国内的英语学习者恰恰语言输入量太少,当然输出量就更少。结果往往事倍功半。

  • [论坛] If the world were a Village of 100 People 如果世界是一个100人的村落

    2008-09-11 07:30:23



        If the world were a Village of 100 People

        If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the exsting human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

        There would be:
        57 Asians
        21 Europeans
        10 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
        8 Africans

        52 would be female
        48 would be male

        70 would be non-while
        30 would be white

        70 would be non-christian
        30 would be Christian

        89 would be heterosexual
        11 would be homosexual

        6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.

        80 would live in substandard housing
        70 would be unable to read
        50 would suffer from malnutrition
        1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth

        1(yes, only 1) would have a college education
        1 would own a computer

        When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

        The following is also something to ponder...

        If you woke pup this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the illion who will not survive this week.

        If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

        If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this world.

        If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealth.

        If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.

        Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

        So...
        Work live you don't need the money.
        Love like you've never been hurt.
        Dance like nobody's watching.
        Sing like nobody's listening.
        Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

        【中文译文】:

        致朋友们以及我所爱的人们
        这是一份爱的礼物
        也是一席金玉良言

        如果世界是个一百人的村落

        如果我们把全世界的人口按照现有压缩为一个100人的村子,情况就会如同以下:

        这个村子里有:
        57人是亚洲人
        21人是欧洲人
        14人来自西半球的南、北美洲
        8人是非洲人

        52人是女性
        48人是男性

        70人是有色人种
        30人是白人

        70人是非基督教徒
        30人是基督徒

        89人是异性恋者
        11人是同性恋者

        6人拥有全世界59%的财富
        而且这6人全是美国人

        80人的居住环境不达标准
        70人是文盲
        50人苦于营养不良
        1人濒临死亡边缘;1人正要出生

        1人(是的,只有1人)会接受大学教育
        1人拥有电脑

        透过这个压缩图来放眼我们的世界,就会明晓接纳他人、谅解以及教育是何等重要。

        再从以下角度来想想看……

        如果你早上醒来的时候健康无恙……那么,比起活不过这一周的百万人来说,你真是幸运多了。

        如果你未曾经历过战争的危险、入狱的孤独、严刑的苦楚、饥饿的痛苦……那么,比起世界上5亿人来,你真是幸运多了。

        如果你冰箱里有食物,身上有衣服可穿,有屋篷遮蔽,有地方睡觉……那么,比起世界上75%的人来,你真是富足多了。

        如果你银行中有存款,钱包中也有钱,还能到某处消费……你便跻身在世界上最富有的8%人口当中了。

        如果你的父母依然健在,而且还在一起生活的话……这可是非常难得的事,即使是在美国与加拿大。

        有人说过:我所付出的终将会回归。

        所以……
        去工作时,犹如你不执迷于金钱。
        去爱他人,犹如你从未曾被伤害。
        去舞蹈吧,犹如无人在一旁观看。
        去歌唱吧,犹如无人在一边谛听。
        好好地生活,犹如这里是人间乐土。

    An elephant family is led by a matriarch, with the matriarch being the oldest and most experienced of the herd. The matriarchal society consists of her female offspring and their young. In some cases it may include one of the matriarch's sisters and her offspring as well. It is this close contact and relationship allows the rest of the elephant to acquire knowledge to be used when needed.

    Living life over 如果有来生 我会抓住每一秒

    If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.
    I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
    I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
    I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
    I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
    I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
    I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.
    I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day.
    I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.
    There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.

    如果有来生 我会抓住每一秒如果有来生,我会少说,多听;我会请朋友来家里吃饭,即使把地毯弄脏;如果有来生,我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛,不让它在尘封中融化;我 会与孩子们坐在草地上,不去担心草地上的污渍……如果有来生,我会说更多的“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而,最重要的是,如果有来生,我会抓住每一 秒……看人生,读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。
  • [论坛] 记忆英语单词的十种妙法

    2008-09-04 07:38:42

    看看这个,也许有用。快乐分享!

    记忆英语单词的十种妙法

    一、时机 记忆单词要讲时机。 要选择心情平静、愉快,脑子里无杂念这种最佳时机来记。如早上起床后,晚上临睡前,节假日等。其他时间要记也要本着心情能静下来为原则。
    二、信心 信心是提高记忆力的保证。 特别是对于那些读起来拗口及很长的单词,更要排除畏难情绪。
    三、方法 单词记忆方法很多,诸如: 归类记忆法、图物记忆法、筛选记忆法、分析记忆法、比较记忆法、循环记忆法、解剖记忆法、规律记忆法、歌诀记忆法、表格记忆法、提纲记忆法、趣味记忆法、 卡片记忆法、浓缩记忆法等等。一定要找到适合自己的一两种记忆方法,不能见异思迁。
    四、目的 有目的地记住的单词,远比无具体目的所记住的单词遗忘率低。 如与老外探讨某个问题时,有几个关键词一定得记住。
    五、观察 记生词时不要上来就盲目地拼记。 最好先用几分钟时间仔细观察该词的结构,找出其特点。这样做表面上看似乎浪费时间,但实际上对记单词大有帮助。
    六、反复。 反复是记忆之母,任何先进科学的单词记忆法都必须以多次反复记忆为基础。
    七、刺激。 显然,脑细胞敏锐时比迟钝时记忆单词的效果要好很多。刺激的方法很多,凡能使你高兴激动的事都能有效地刺激大脑。
    八、形象。 教学法上有直观教学法,即形象地再现动作、物体本身,此法完全可以引入单词记忆法。
    九、联想。 联想有助于单词记忆,这是毫无疑问的。
    十、时间。 脑子是很容易疲劳的,记忆的时间学生最好控制在一个半小时以内。中学生年龄小,一般不要超过40分钟。
  • Candy and God 糖果和上帝

    2008-09-03 07:20:49

           终于又能在早上品尝一道优美英语短文套餐了,味道还真是值得回味啊!这几天在外面还挺想的呢?嘿嘿!
    Candy and God 
       There is an Indian story about a bar of candy that came to see God in Heaven and complained: "Dear God, I am so sweet. I am so nice! I keep the Five Precepts. I meditate all the time." The sugar candy, as you know, it always sits on the table doing nothing. He says he never does harm to anyone. "But anyone, even the ants, the flies -- anyone who comes near me wants to eat me. Why? What have I done? Doesn't the law of karma exist anymore?" Because God says that if you do something bad, if you harm someone, if you are sour, then people will return sourness to you. But if you are sweet to people, if you are nice and you don't do any harm to people, then they will never harm you, right?

        So the candy said, "Why me? I am a candy. (Laughter) I am so sweet, and people always eat me and abuse me, why?" And God said, "You better step a little bit further before I answer you." And the candy said, "Why, you don't like me?" So God said, "Just do it! Stand away, please!" Hes nearly lost Hiers temper. Oh, Hes shouted very hard, very loud. And the sugar was shaking, thinking that God got angry with him and didn't like him. He said, "M-m-m-y G-g-god, but what did I do?" So God said, "You didn't do anything, but if you stay too near, I will also want to eat you!" (Laughter and applause)

        Everything in this world has a nature of its own. Some are charming, some are seducing, like the candy, chocolate, the cakes, and some burn everything like fire, as soon as you get near.

        【中文译文】:

        有一个印度故事,是讲一颗糖果去天堂见上帝,它跟上帝抱怨说:「亲爱的上帝,我那么甜、那么好,不但遵守五戒,又一直都在打坐。」是啊!糖果一向都「坐」 在桌上,无所事事。它说它从不曾伤害过任何人。「不过每个人一靠近我,就想把我吃掉,连蚂蚁、苍蝇也不例外,为什么?我犯了什么错?难道因果法律已经荡然 无存了吗?」因为上帝说过,假如你做坏事、伤害别人、对人不好,那么别人也会对你不好。但如果你对别人好,又不伤害任何人,人家就不会伤害你,对吗?

        所以糖果说:「为什么我不同呢?我是一颗糖果(大众笑),这么甜,而人们却一直想吃我、虐待我,为什么?」上帝说:「你最好站远一点,我才回答你。」糖果 说:「为什么?您不喜欢我吗?」上帝说:「只管照着做,站远一点,拜托!」上帝快要发脾气了,喊得很用力、很大声。糖果在发抖,它以为上帝在生气它,不喜 欢它。它说:「老…天…啊!我做错了什么呢?」上帝告诉它:「你没做错什么,只不过你如果站得太靠近的话,连我也想把你吃掉。」(大众笑及鼓掌)

        天地万物各有其本质,有些东西很有吸引力、很诱人,像糖果、巧克力、蛋糕等;有些则像火一样,任何东西一靠近就会被它烧掉。
  • View in the heart 心中有景,花香满径

    2008-08-27 07:25:13

    View in the heart

    There is a temple at the foot of Nanshan,and an ancient banyan is in front of it.

    One morning,a young monk gets up to clean up the courtyard and sees the fallen leaves from the ancient banyan are everywhere,he can't help worrying and look at the tree to sigh.

    For his sorrow is on the toppest,he throws down the broom and rushes to his master's room ,then he knocks on the door to plea for interview.

    His master hears it and opens the door,when he sees the disciple's worried look,he thinks something takes place,so he hurries to ask him:" My disciple, what does you worry about so much in the early morning? "

    The young disciple is full of doubt and tells him:"Master, you persuades us to be diligent to cultivate our moral character and grasp the truth day and night,but, even I learn them well ,it is hard to avoid to die.Till that time,so-called me, so-called Dao, aren't they just like the defoliation in autumn or the deadwood in winter? and they will be buried by a heap of loess?"

    After hearing it ,the old monk points at the ancient banyan and says to the young monk:" My disciple ,you don't need to worry about this.In fact, the defoliation in autumn and the deadwood in winter will climb back to the trees silently and become the flowers in spring and grow up into the leaves in summer at the time of autumnal winds is blowing strongliest and the snow falls down most heavily."

    "Why don't I see it?"

    "It is the reason that there isn't any view in your heart, so you can't see the bloom ."

    Facing the withering defoliations and imaging they will be in bud,it needs to have an immortal of spring heart, an optimism of heart.

    There are always some miseries you will meet in your whole life and strike you when you are unprepared, but we don't need to worry day after day for the arrival of this day, and feel sorry to yourself.

    Treating the life with the attitude of the optimism, it can not only dissolve the agony and misfortune , but also bring a kind of pleased mood to you everyday and make your life bright and flourishing .

    As long as the view is in the heart,aren't the paths full of fragrance of flowers everywhere?
  • YOUTH 青春

    2008-08-25 07:22:02

    YOUTH

        By Samuel Ullman 塞缪尔·厄尔曼

        Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

        Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

        Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

        Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless
    station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.

        When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

        【中文译文】:

        青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

        青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。

        岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦,惶恐,丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。

        无论年届花甲,拟或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号,你就青春永驻,风华常存。

        一旦天线下降,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线,捕捉乐观信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉希望

    Transforming Obstacles into Benefits

        By Richard Stewart,Los Angeles, U.S.A. (Originally in English)
        美国洛杉矶 理查德.史都华德(原文为英文)

        A group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of them fell into a deep pit. Immediately, all the other frogs in the group gathered around the pit and watched as the imprisoned frogs tried to jump out. The frogs on top could see that the pit was very deep and it looked as if there was no way out, so they started yelling at the two frogs in the pit to give up. "The pit is too deep. You're as good as dead," the chorus of frogs said. When the trapped frogs kept trying, the crowd yelled louder, "Give up. You're as good as dead." After a while, one of the exhausted frogs took heed to what the others were saying, and fell down and died.

        But amazingly, the second frog kept jumping as hard as she could despite the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her to accept the inevitable and just die. Finally, with one valiant leap, she made it out of the pit!

        This amazing result occurred because the second frog was deaf and unable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they had been cheering her on the entire time they were yelling! What she had mistakenly perceived as encouragement inspired her to try harder and succeed against all odds. And that made all the difference!

        With a positive mindset, and being deaf to others' opinions, the second frog made use of such negativity to overcome obstacles and reach her goals by using it as encouragement, instead of being influenced by others like the first frog, who failed to develop her potential to strive for survival. Thus, when we surmount others' criticism, ridicule or cynical comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just as the second frog did. But, if we are not deaf like this frog, who could not be influenced by others due to a physical condition, we need the  Wisdom to guide us to the proper way, so as not to be blindly guided by worldly opinion.

       【中文译文】:

      一群在旅途中的青蛙,行经一处树林时,其中两只不慎掉进了一个深坑里。其它的青蛙立即围拢过来,看着这两只受困的青蛙在努力地跳出来。在上面的青蛙看 得出来这个坑非常的深,而且似乎没有任何出口,因此,它们开始劝坑里的两只青蛙不要白费力气了,它们齐声叫着:「这个坑太深了,你们死定了!」当受困的青 蛙不断地想跳出来时,其它的青蛙却叫得更大声:「算了吧!你们是死定了!」过了一会儿,这两只精疲力竭的青蛙其中一只听到其它青蛙所说的话,它就倒下来死 了。

        但是很令人讶异的,第二只青蛙对于那些一直要它听天由命、等待死神降临之类的否定说法完全置之不理,它还是不断地奋力想跳脱出来。最后,在一次勇敢的跳跃中,它成功地跳出了深坑!

        这个很令人讶异的结局竟然是因为第二只青蛙是个聋子!它听不到别的青蛙所说的话,当那群青蛙齐声鼓噪时,它以为它们是在为它加油!它所感受到的是一种鼓励,激励它更努力地去尝试,最后,终于冲破重重困难,获致成功。这就是造成两只青蛙有着截然不同下场的原因。

        跳出坑洞的那只青蛙由于耳聋听不到外在否定的看法和意见,再加上它凡事都能从肯定的方向去思考,因此能将环境中接受到的讯息转变为一种鼓励的力量,克服障 碍而达成目标。反观那只屈服于外在影响的青蛙,否定了自己求生的潜力,从而也断了唯一的生机。因此,只要我们能超越别人的批评或冷嘲热讽,就可以像在深坑 里的第二只青蛙一样,完成自己的理想。但是,我们不是聋子,不可能像第二只青蛙一样,完全不受他人的影响,所以我们需要靠智慧来引导我们走在正确的人生旅 途上,才不会盲目听从世人的看法和意见。

    一早上就看到这么有意义的小故事,真是幸运啊!好东西就要收藏啊,嘿嘿!不过最重要的是分享!



    【故事一】:


        Once upon a time a teacher and his student lay down under the big tree near the big grass area. Then suddenly the student asked the teacher.

      "Teacher, I'm confused, how do we find our soul mate? Can you please help me?"

      Silent for a few seconds, the teacher then answered, "Well, it's a pretty hard and an easy question."

      The teacher continued, "Look that way, there is a lot of grass, why don't you walk there? Please don't walk backwards, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a blade of beautiful grass and pick it up and then give it to me. But just one."

      The student said, "Well, OK then... wait for me..." and walked straight ahead to the grassy field.

      A few minutes later the student came back.

      The teacher asked, "Well, I don't see a beautiful blade of grass in your hand."

      The student said, "On my journey, I found quite a few beautiful blade of grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it. But I didn't realize that I was at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked any because you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back."

      The teacher said, "That's what will happen in real life."

      What is the message of this story?

      In the story, grass is the people around you, the beautiful blade of grass is the people that attract you and the grassy field is time.

      In looking for your soul mate, please don't always compare and hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime, cause remember "Time Never Goes Back".
     
       【中文译文】:

      很久以前,有一位老师和一位学生,两人躺在一棵大树下,旁边是无垠的草地。突然学生问了老师一个问题。

      “老师,我很困惑,我想知道如何才能找到和我情投意合的伴侣。你能帮帮我吗?”

      老师想了几秒种,然后说:“嗯,这是一个很难但又很简单的问题。”

      老师继续说:“往那边看,那边是无垠的草地。你何不过去走走,但是不要往回走,一直向前走。当你走路的时候,尽量寻找一棵美丽的草,然后把它拔下拿给我。但是只能拔一颗。”

      学生说:“那好吧…等着我。”然后径直向草地走去。

      几分钟后,学生回来了。

      老师问到:“我看你手上没有漂亮的草呀。”

      学生回答说:“我在路上发现了许多漂亮的草,但是我觉得我会找到更好的,于是就没有把它拔下来。但我没有意识到我已经走到了草地的尽头,因为你告诉我不要往回走,所以我一颗也没有拔。”

      “这就是生活中经常发生的情况。"老师说到。

      这则小故事想要告诉我们什么道理呢?

      故事里面的草地就是你周围的人,美丽的草就是吸引你的人,而草地就是你一生拥有的时间。

      在寻找人生伴侣的时候,请不要总是比较,希望将来会有更好的选择。如果这样做的话,你就会浪费一生的时间,因为请记住:时间一去不复返。

        【故事二】:
       
          Teacher Debbie Moon's first-granders were disussing a picture of a family.One little boy in the picture had different color hair than other family members.

       One child suggested that he was adopted, and a little girl named Jocelynn said ,"I know all about adoptions beacuse I'm adopted."

      "What does it mean to be adopted?"asked another child.

      "It means,"said jocelynn,"that you grew in your mother's heart instead of her tummy."

      一个小孩子说那男孩是被人收养的,于是一个叫约瑟琳的小女孩就说:“我完全知道收养是怎么一回事,因为我就是被人收养的。”

      “被人收养意味着什么呢?”另一个小孩问道。

      “那意味着,”约瑟琳说,“你是在母亲的心理长大的,而不是肚子里。”

    不良品发生先别慌

         斩除不良品,原本就是管理工作的一部分,经历的越多,经验越能得到积累;管理能力越能得到提升。

     

    不良品是指:不能满足品质规定的产品。

    不良品是万严之首。管理的历史可以说就是一部与不良品作斗争的历史,只要有生产活动存在,就有不良品的存在。不良品是测试管理人员合不合格的最好“考题”之一,谁也躲不开。但是,面对同样一种不良,却有四种不同的态度:

    1.   自我放弃型。

    这种人一旦遇上不良品,第一句话就是“算了吧!做不到!不可能!”对不良品惟恐避之而不及,对不良品的解决方法想都不想,一把将不良品推开老远。

    其实质是自信不足,害怕不良品,怕承担风险、责任。让这种人去处理不良品,只会越处理越多,小则办坏一件事,大则拖垮一个部门。

    2.    归咎他责型。

    这种人姓“赖”,什么事都敢推开,所有的不良品全都不关自己的事,推脱理由多得让人难以置信。要么是自己从来没学过;要么是前辈没教好;要么同事“坑”了自己……总能找出一个冠冕堂皇的理由。

    其实质是能力不足,不愿承担自己的责任。让这种人解决不良品,不良品还没动一根“毛”,内部责任追究的“战火”早已熊熊燃起,结果只会导致各部门内战不休,分散了团体的力量,事情越办越乱。

    3.    孤芳自赏型。

    这种人满足于维持现有的品质水平,只要不是大的不良,一点都不着急,不愿改善现状,总以为“神仙也不过如此”。

    其实质是故步自封,不求上进,让这种人解决不良品,慢性、数量少的不良品,永远都解决不了。

    4.    开拓解决型。

    这种人从不拒绝任何不良品的挑战,一旦发生不良品,不等不靠,想方设法解决不良,看到现有成绩也看到不足,从不停止改善的脚步,也只有这种人才真正掌握对付不良品的实战能力。

    开拓进取的态度是作为优秀的管理人员必备的条件之一。

    实战时注意事项:

    1.确认不良品发生的现象和程度。

    绝不可将来自下面的报告,原封不动地转手向上“倒卖”,让上一级管理人员来替你确认,要自己动手、动眼、动脑,到现场搞清楚以下项目:

    ①是什么样的不良?有什么现象?

    ②发生率多少?在哪发生的?在哪些机种上发生?

    ③什么时间发生的?

    2.联络相关部门,制定紧急对策

    突 发性的不良,能够自己处理的立即处理,处理不了的,要懂得借助其他部门的力量来解决。换言之,要懂得叫“救命”,叫得越大声、追得越急,得到的帮助也就越 多。不要厌恶跑腿求人,这本来也是工作的一部分。许多远离现场的部分,很难体会得到现场的苦衷,你不猛追他们,就别指望能获得帮助。

    同一种不良现象,原因却可以多样的,有的可以借助以往的经验,一眼看穿,有的要依靠解析手段来找出原因,解析时,一般要遵循以下步骤:

    第一步:再现不良现象。

    尽可能从多方面观察不良现象,如有数据则记录下来。

    第二步:调查原因。

    ①模拟法。使用相同组合的生产要素,确认能否导致同一不良现象。

    ②配对法。将生产要素按一定的条件进行组合,确认哪种组合出现相同不良。

    ③排除法。将生产要素逐个进行替换,当替换到不良消失时,多半是该生产要素引发的不良。

    ④对比法。将良品与不良品进行比较,找出其中差别之处,这种差别很可能就是造成不良的原因。

    以上这些方法只不过是将导致不良的生产要素找出,为对策铺垫了基础,但这还不够 ,还要给予反证才行,尤其在理论计算时,要注意以下事项:

    ①尽可能使用高精度的测试仪器测取数据。

    ②审图、读取数据时不偏不倚,不人为地改动数据。

    ③运算公式、方程式时,再三确认有无代入错误。

    当不良原因查明之后,便要进行对策,不良对策不是简单地下一道加工、选别、修理的指示,而是要制定整体的挽救方法、日程、担当者。

    ①以材料为线索,展开对策:

    A.         单品材料怎么处理?

    B.         半成品怎么处理?

    C.        成品怎么处理?

    D.        已销售到市场的怎么处理?

    以上项目,数量有多少?什么时候开始处理?谁来负责担当?在哪处理?等等都要确定下来。

    ②以时间为线索进行对策。

    A.         新设定的4M要素什么时候开始实施?

    B.         不良品什么时候处理完毕?

    C.        良品什么时候能出货?

    以上项目,数量有多少?什么时候开始处理?谁来负责担当?在哪处理?等等都要确定下来。

    ③以作业方法为线索,展开对策。

    A.         工序内用什么新的作业方法?

    B.         QC增添什么新的检查方法?

    C.        QA更改什么规格?

    以上项目,数量有多少?什么时候开始处理?谁来负责担当?在哪处理?所有这些都要确定下来。

    当发生大量不良品时,甚至要考虑暂停生产,优先处理不良品。如果不良品的处理费用,远远超过重新制造一台新品的话,那不妨考虑将不良品废弃处理还更好些。

    不良品的识别管理也是相当重要的一个项目,一不小心就会产生二次不良,请参阅《识别做不好,东西真难找》一章。

    确认对策效果,防止二次再发。

    防止二次再发与不良品对策同等重要。不要以为对策后就万事大吉,天下太平。有的不良品仅靠一次对策还不能绝迹,如果你不再跟进的话,下次再发,挨老板骂的可能只有你一个人了!

    现场中大大小小的不良品有许多,是不是所有的不良品都要立即进行对策呢?不是的,只要先抓住占不良率80%的头几位就不错了,而其他小的不良品,可任其“自生自灭”。

    总之,在一定意义上说,管理能力就是在解决不良品的过程中得以提升的,管理能力的高低与否,其判定标准之一,就在于不良品是否再出现。
