把英语踩在脚下的黄金准则

What is language for? Some people seem to think it is for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words--the longer the words the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication.

语言到底是用来干什么的呢？一些人认为它是用来操练语法规则和学习一大堆单词——而且单词越长越好。这个想法是错误的。语言是用来交换思想，进行交流沟通的！


The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often as possible.

学习一门语言的方法就是要尽量多地练习说。

怎么用英语介绍你最爱的颜色

GREEN: Because of its association with nature and foliage, green in design can be used almost like a neutralcolour: greens never clash with red or pink roses, yellow sunflowers, lilacsor bluebells.

绿色：因其与自然和绿叶的关系，设计师常用它来充当中间色：绿色从不与大红或粉红的玫瑰、黄色太阳花、紫丁香、风铃草这些图案冲突。

PURPLE: It’s perhaps the most enigmaticand complex colour, with the range of meanings - from royal to elegant to spiritual to mysterious. Purple is often favoured by very creative and eccentricpeople who are not afraid of appearing daring.

紫色：可能是最神秘也最难解的颜色，其涵义也是多层次的：贵族、优雅、宗教、玄奥，不一而足。兼具创造力、神经质和胆识的人常偏好紫色。

关于各种“水”的英文表达法


I need to take some water.

我需要喝点水。

喝水要怎么讲？通常我们会很直觉地想到 "I need to drink some water."。所以像饮用水就叫 drinking water。其实老美们也常用 "I want to take some water."。 所以喝水不一定要用 drink water，用 take water 也可以。

另外有个词跟喝水有关也值得一学，就是饮水机（drinking fountain）。但是记得，有时候 drinking fountain 也可以指速食店的那种汽水机，所以使用上要多加小心。

外企白领最IN的工作英语说法

Challenge

字面意思是挑战，但是在外企的英文中它不当“挑战”讲而是“谴责、批评、指责”。如果说，你被老板challenge了，那可不是老板挑战了你，而是说你遭到老板的批评。

潜台词： 你得好好准备工作，否则谁都可以“挑战”你！

Quota

员工的计划任务量，这个词对于很注重业绩的部门来说是个最敏感的词语了，比如销售部，他们最关心就是每个季度的quota是多少，自己如何才能完成这个 quota。

潜台词：如果你没有完成公司制定的quota，那你后面的日子可就难过喽！

【分享】伊索寓言:驴子、公鸡与狮子

The Ass, the Cock, and the Lion

　　AN ASS and a Cock were in a straw-yard together when a Lion, desperate from hunger, approached the spot. He was about to spring upon the Ass, when the Cock (to the sound of whose voice the Lion, it is said, has a singular aversion) crowed loudly, and the Lion fled away as fast as he could. The Ass, observing his trepidation at the mere crowing of a Cock summoned courage to attack him, and galloped after him for that purpose. He had run no long distance, when the Lion, turning about, seized him and tore him to pieces.

　 　False confidence often leads into danger.

　 　驴子、公鸡与狮子


　　 有一天，公鸡和驴子生活在一起。饥饿的狮子来侵害驴子，公鸡一叫，狮子害怕鸡叫，转身逃之夭夭。驴子见狮子连鸡叫都害怕，心想狮子没有甚么了不起，便立即跑去追赶狮子。他追到远处，公鸡的叫声听不到了，狮子猛然转过身来，把他吃了。驴子临死时歎道：「我真是不幸啊！我真愚蠢啊！我并不是竞争对手，为什么还要去参加战斗呢？」



　 　这个故事带出的启示就是：不要轻敌，要知道自己有多大能耐，不要在强大的对手面前逞能

【分享】伊索寓言:铁匠与小狗


The Brazier and His Dog

　　A BRAZIER had a little Dog, which was a great favorite with his master, and his constant companion. While he hammered away at his metals the Dog slept; but when, on the other hand, he went to dinner and began to eat, the Dog woke up and wagged his tail, as if he would ask for a share of his meal. His master one day, pretending to be angry and shaking his stick at him, said, "You wretched little sluggard! what shall I do to you? While I am hammering on the anvil, you sleep on the mat; and when I begin to eat after my toil, you wake up and wag your tail for food. Do you not know that labor is the source of every blessing, and that none but those who work are entitled to eat?'

　　铁匠与小狗

　　铁匠家有一条狗，他打铁时，狗就睡觉，吃饭时狗便立刻跑到铁匠的身旁摇头摆尾，讨好主人。铁匠扔给狗一块骨头，并说道：「你这傢伙，总是贪睡。为甚么那沉重的打铁声丝毫没影响你的睡眠，而我们吃饭时轻微的响动声却使你惊醒？」

　　这个故事带出的启示就是：那些唯利是图的人，对於自己有利的事专心致志，对自己无利的事则不闻不问。

【分享】伊索寓言:公牛与野山羊


The Bull and the Goat

　　A BULL, escaping from a Lion, hid in a cave which some shepherds had recently occupied. As soon as he entered, a He-Goat left in the cave sharply attacked him with his horns. The Bull quietly addressed him: "Butt away as much as you will. I have no fear of you, but of the Lion. Let that monster go away and I will soon let you know what is the respective strength of a Goat and a Bull."

　　It shows an evil disposition to take advantage of a friend in distress.

　　公牛与野山羊

　　有头公牛被狮子追赶，逃进了一个山洞，洞里住着一群野山羊。尽管野山羊朝他又踢又顶，公牛还是忍着痛对他们说：「我在这里忍辱负重，并不是害怕你们，而是害怕那站在洞口的狮子。」

　　这故事说的是，为了逃避大灾难，必须忍受小痛苦。俗话说，小不忍，则乱大谋。
