【双语分享】怎样教幼儿学英语？

2.先听后说，不可急于求成

爸爸妈妈们都有这样的经验，孩子在学说话的时候，先是听，反复地听，然后再慢慢说，最后就越说越流利了。学英语其实也是这样的，即使是学母语，孩子最先学会的也是“听”，听多了以后才慢慢开始学会“说”。所以在教低龄幼儿学英语时，切不可心急着要孩子开口说，而是应该自己先多说，让他被英语的语音围绕，等他能够听懂一些简单的词句并渐渐熟悉英语的发音后，自然而然地会开口说的，到那时才可以。

传统中文菜名的爆笑英文翻译分享啦

直译类，这类比较简单

锅贴 pot sicker（这个翻译非常直接，锅就是锅，贴就是贴）
酸辣汤 hot&sour soup（又辣又酸的汤）
春卷 spring rolls（春天的卷）
柠檬牛肉 lemon beef
炒杂菜 mixed vegetable（混合在一起的菜）
叫化鸡 beggars chicken（乞丐鸡）
四喜丸子 four-joy meatballs（四个快乐的肉球）
清蒸鱼 steam fish
火锅 hot pot（热锅）
烤鸭 roasted duck

可以看到以上一些翻译，没有涉及文化内涵，而仅仅涉及制作方法或者口味的，似乎比较容易成功，而类似“四喜丸子”这样的菜名译法，看起来令人忍俊不禁。

【分享】中国成语典故中英对照:班门弄斧

古代有一个建筑和雕刻技术非常高超的人，名叫鲁班，木匠行里尊称他为祖师。传说他曾用木头制作了一只

五彩斑斓的凤凰，能够在空中飞翔三天不掉下来。在鲁班门前摆弄斧子，当然显得有些自不量力了。

Lu Ban was supposed to be a consummate carpenter in ancient times. It is said that he once

carved a wooden phoenix that was so lifelike that it actually flew in the sky for three days. Thus

it was considered the height of folly to show off one's skill with an axe in front of Lu Ban.

“班门弄斧”这个成语，用来比喻在行家面前显示本领。

This idiom excoriates those who show off their slight accomplishments in front of experts.

英语故事:龟兔赛跑


The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. “I have never been beaten，” he said， “when I run at full speed， no one is faster than me.”

　　The tortoise said quietly， “I will race with you.” “That is a good joke，” said the hare. “I could dance around you the whole way.”

　　The race started. The hare darted almost out of sight at once. He soon stopped and lay down to have a nap.

　　The tortoise plodded on and on. When the hare awoke from his nap， he saw the tortoise was near the finish line， and that he had lost the race.

　　兔子向动物们夸耀他的速度，“我从来没有失败过，”他说，“当我奔跑时，没有人比我更快。”

　　乌龟平静地说：“我要与你比赛。”“真是笑话，我可以边玩边和你赛跑。”兔子说。

　　比赛开始了，一眨眼工夫，兔子已经跑得不见了踪影，但是他觉得自己跑得快，对比赛掉以轻心，躺在路边睡着了。

　　乌龟慢腾腾地却持续不停地走，当兔子一觉醒来，他看到乌龟已经快到终点线了。兔子输了比赛。

【分享】伊索寓言:老鼠开会

Belling the cat

　　Long ago， there was a big cat in the house. He caught many mice while they were stealing food.

　　One day the mice had a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy. Some said this， and some said that.

　　At last a young mouse got up， and said that he had a good idea.

　　“We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat. Then when he comes near， we can hear the sound of the bell， and run away.”

　　Everyone approved of this proposal， but an old wise mouse got up and said， “That is all very well， but who will tie the bell to the cat？” The mice looked at each other， but nobody spoke.

　　从前，一所房子里面有一只大猫，他抓住了很多偷东西的老鼠。

　　一天，老鼠在一起开会商量如何对付他们共同的敌人。会上大家各有各的主张，最后，一只小老鼠站出来说他有一个好主意。

　　“我们可以在猫的脖子上绑一个铃铛，那么如果他来到附近，我们听到铃声就可以马上逃跑。”

　　大家都赞同这个建议，这时一只聪明的老耗子站出来说：“这的确是个绝妙的主意，但是谁来给猫的脖子上绑铃铛呢？”老鼠们面面相觑，谁也没有说话。

怎么用英语介绍你最爱的颜色

ORANGE: Inheriting some of the drama of red, orange is temperedby the friendly humour of yellow. It’s the colour that stimulates the appetite and radiates with warmth and vitality.

橙色：继承了红色的张扬，又被黄色的婉转所中和，橙色能有效促进食欲，也是放射着温暖活力的颜色。

BLUE: Ever noticed how many corporations and financial institutions use blue in their brands? That’s because blue is seen as dependable and committed. It is also the colour we often associate with calm and serenity. Darken the blue and you’ll add an instant authority, credibilityand power to it.

蓝色：你注意到有多少公司和金融机构在它们的商标里选用蓝色吗？因为蓝色是标志可靠和忠诚的颜色。我们也经常将它与沉着和宁静联系起来。而蓝色一旦加深，就会带来权威、信誉和权利的暗示。

外企白领最IN的工作英语说法


Concern

中文翻译成“关注”，其实在外企里面，如果你的上司或老板要是说他很concern， 他可不是只想告诉你他很关注这个case。这句话是暗示你做的事情有问题，你可要小心了。

潜台词：你这个事情也许会出岔子，你要好好注意，别弄砸了！

My understanding is …

这句话的字面意思是：“我的理解是…”，往往是在你发表一个观点或看法时，对方会说 “My understanding is …”。这时候你要注意喽：他不是想让你听听他的理解是什么。而是想告诉你，你的理解有误，我再给你解释一下。

潜台词：老兄，你的想法错了，我说的这个才是正确答案呢。

【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
