第一篇：生活英語 Everyday English

生活英語 Everyday English Any rooms available?

WHAT do you do when you get tired of the campus dorm and want a room all by yourself? Well, if that happens, here's some English you'll need to get that apartment.Do you have any apartments for rent right now? 你們現在有沒有公寓要出租啊？

You can ask the leasing agent(房屋中介)or landlord or landlady(房東)this if you phone them.Or you can say, “Do you have any apartment available right now?” or, “Do you still have a/that vacancy?”

I'm looking for a studio because I don't have much money.因為錢不多，我想租一個零居室的房子。

A “studio” is the simplest apartment, with the bedroom and kitchen in the same room(零居室公寓).Other choices are “one-bedroom” or “two-bedroom apartment”.You can get these if you want an affordable way of renting by “sharing”(合租)with a roommate.How much is the rent? 租金是多少？

Or, “What's the rent on that?” And don't forget to ask, “How much is the deposit?”(押金是多 少？)You also need to check on whether the rent includes utilities(水電費).You can ask, “Are utilities included”? or, “What else am I responsible for”? There can be other fees like heating(取暖費), property management(物業費), cable TV(有線電視費), Internet connection service(上網費), or garbage.Is the apartment furnished? 房子帶家具嗎？

An apartment may be “completely furnished”(家具齊備), “partially furnished”(帶部分家具), or “not furnished”(不帶家具).If you want to know how it feels, you might ask, “Does the apartment get much natural light?”or, “Does the room get much sunlight?”(房間的光線好嗎？)Fry an egg on the sidewalk

THE weather's getting hotter and you're looking for ways to stay out of the heat.But can you describe really unbearable weather? Try these:

I'm not going to that party.It's hot as blazes outside.我不去那個舞會了。外面熱的像著了大火一樣。

hot as blazes: colloquial.A “blaze” is a large fire(大火，烈火).I wouldn't go out.You could fry an egg on the sidewalk.我不想出去，天氣熱得連人行道上都可以煎蛋了。

When we describe something as very hot, we can say “熱(燙)的都可以把雞蛋煮熟了”.Here, the English equivalent for the phrase is “you could fry an eggs on it”.I'm sweltering.Let's just stay home.我熱得難受！我們還是呆在家里吧。

swelter: 熱得難受，熱得喘不過氣來.Also: “It's sweltering”.Let's cancel the appointment this evening;it's a scorcher outside!我們取消晚上的約會吧，外面太熱了。

scorcher: colloquial(大熱天).A similar expression is “It's roasting”(天太熱了).Hey, I'm melting.Would you please turn on the air conditioner right now? 我熱得快化了，趕快把空調打開吧。

melt：熔化.I'm sweating like a pig, and I can't concentrate on my homework.我熱得汗流浹背，沒法集中精力做作業。

sweat like a pig: colloquial(大汗淋漓，汗流浹背).Also: “It is sweating” or “I am sweating”.It's hot as hell.I hope it rains this evening.這里熱得跟地獄一樣，希望晚上能下場雨。

hot as hell: Everyone knows that, down where the devil lives, there are fires roaring.Try this when you're sick

NO question about it, you're a hardworking student.But no matter how serious you are, you have to skip some lectures when you don't feel well.So this week we give you: words related to “請假”.1.John, hi, can you please tell the professor that I have to ask for leave tomorrow morning? I'm feeling sick and can't concentrate.“Leave”(準假，休假)is a noun here.Ask for leave: 請假.Here, “ask for leave tomorrow morning” means “明天上午請半天假”.Other examples include “ask for a 48-hour leave” : 請假48小時 or “ask for one week of leave”: 請假一周.2.Mr Smith, my dad's here visiting me and I'd like to take two days off to show him around the city.“Take off”(請假，休假)is another common expression for “ask for leave”.Another phrase with the word “off” is “to be off sick”: 因病缺勤.For example:

Poor Sophie!She's been off sick for two days with a high fever.I hope she's getting better now.3.I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pull a sickie today, Helen, but I really do have a bit of the flu.“Pull a sickie”(請假)is slang;“sickie” is slang word for “病假” and often refers to a day off.It is used in the case of genuine illness but often has a sense of avoiding work.4.I don't feel well this morning.Perhaps I ought to call in sick.Call in sick: 打電話請病假.You could say “call the secretary/boss/department head to tell her I'm sick” when you ask for leave.And you may need “a doctor's note”(病假條)to prove your illness.need to renew my card

THIS week we'll continue our discussion of credit cards and their use.In the previous issue, we talked about annual fees(年費), credit limits(信用額度)and late payment(未按時還款).So, let's move on to other topics.1.Asking about a cash advance(詢問預借現金)

Customer: If I need to get some cash with my credit card, what is the limit?

Clerk: That depends on your credit limit.Generally, you get 50 percent of your credit limit.Customer: Oh, that's not bad.Is there a charge for that?

Clerk: Yes.There's a 3 percent service charge.Cash advance: 取現(從信用卡提取現金)，預借現金.Service charge: 手續費;also, “service fee”.2.Renewing a card(補辦新卡)

Customer: What's the charge for a replacement if I lose my card?

Clerk: There's a 15-yuan charge for a replacement due to loss or damage.Customer: What about when my card expires?

Clerk: We replace it for free.Renew a credit card: 補辦新信用卡.The noun form is “card renewal”.Expire: 滿期，中止.Expiry date: 信用卡的有效期.3.Paying in dollars(美金支付)

Customer: I need to pay my application fee for an American university.Can I use this card?

Clerk: Yes, you can.It is a dual-currency card and allows you to pay in both US dollars and RMB.Customer: But do I have to pay that off with dollars?

Clerk: Not really.You can pay it back in RMB or dollars.The exchange rate depends on the date of payment.Application fee:(大學的)申請費.Dual-currency card: 雙幣卡，可以使用美元或人民幣支付的信用卡.Exchange rate: 匯率.Duck out for a minute

THE sky's blue, the sun's shining and the flowers are in full bloom.You're in the classroom, but a number of your classmates have mysteriously disappeared.What happened? Where'd they go? Here's how we describe that disappearing act:

1.He must have a late case of spring fever, he's been skiving off class for a week.To many, “playing truant” might be the most familiar translation for “逃學”.In fact, “play truant” is somewhat British and formal.To “skive off”(偷懶逃學、逃課)is more colloquial.2.Boy, there was hardly a soul around this afternoon.Many students cut class for an outing.“To cut class”(逃課，翹課)is a very common expression.It has both a formal and informal sound.“To skip class” is interchangeable with “cut class”.For example: Wow, I managed to get an interview tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to skip class to get to it.3.I saw her with her boyfriend on my way to class.They looked like they were having fun, but they were obviously playing hooky.“To play hooky”(逃學)is another expression.“Hooky” is also spelt “hookey” and has two meanings: “逃學” or “逃學者”.4.I just couldn't take it anymore.The day was so beautiful that I just had to duck out of class to experience some of this weather.The verb “to duck” means to avoid or evade(often, something that could cause injury).The “out” is added when it refers to the classroom(or work or some other responsibility): 偷偷跑出教室.You need to check the credit limit

CREDIT cards aren't a novelty to university students today.In fact, banks go looking for students, and some may have more than one card.So, we've found some useful expressions when you ask about a credit card.1.Asking about an annual fee(詢問年費)

Customer: Is there an annual fee from the bank or the credit card company?

Clerk: Yes, there's a 100-yuan annual fee.If you have at least six transactions, the fee is waived.This is different from a debit card(借記卡).An annual service fee/charge(年費)can come from the issuing bank(發卡銀行)or the credit card company.Transaction(交易)is a formal bank word for “usage”.Waive: 免除，取消.For example，The school has decided to waive his tuition because of his high grades last year.2.Asking about credit limit(詢問信用額度)

Customer: What's the credit limit on a student card?

Clerk: It's usually 3,000 yuan a month.But it depends on your credit rating.If your credit's good, we can raise the limit.Customer: What if I want to make a big purchase?

Customer: We can raise the limit temporarily.Give us a phone call ahead of time.Credit limit: 信用額度.The bank can “temporarily raise the credit limit”(臨時調高信用額度)if the person wants to make a big purchase.3.Asking about late payments(詢問沒有按時還款的后果)

Customer: If I'm late in paying my credit card bill, what will happen?

Clerk: In the first instance, we lower your credit limit as a warning.If it happens three months in a row, we may stop the card.Customer: But what if I simply forget to pay on time?

Clerk: I'm afraid that's not a good excuse.We'll remind you of the due date by e-mail, text message or phone.Then you shouldn't forget.In a row: 連續地.For example: It has been raining for three days in a row(雨已經連續下了三天了).Due date: 還款日期。

Relax at restaurants

DINING out with friends is a great way to socialize.So, study these sentences and they'll help you relax the next time you're in a restaurant.1.May I have the menu, please? 請給我看下菜單。

Obviously, looking at the menu is the first step at a restaurant.Often, the waiter has already brought it.If not, this is the polite way to get one.Other common ways to ask are:

I'd like to see the menu, please.Could you get me a menu please?

2.We'd like to order now, please./ I believe we're ready to order.我想點菜。

Next, you have to order.Sometimes, the waiter will ask,“Can I take your order now?”(現在可以點菜了嗎？).If you're ready, simply answer “Yes, please.” If you are not ready, say “Not quite.Could we have a few more minutes?”

3.What's the specialty of the house? 你們店有什么招牌菜？

Or, you may also ask:

Do you have any specials today? 今天有什么特價菜/特別的菜品嗎？

What would you recommend? I want something light.有什么推薦的嗎？我想吃點清淡的。

4.May I/we have the bill/check, please.請拿賬單來。

Then, it's time to pay for your enjoyment.Another way to say this:

Could you bring me the check, please?

I'd like the check, please.Coffee in a proper copper pot

THE whole country is still recovering from the Chinese lunar new year.We may still be feeling a bit lazy, so, how about practising some tongue twisters? These can help loosen up your tongue and your mind.See how long it takes you to move from apprentice level to master.Apprentice:

A laurel-crowned clown.A noisy noise annoys an oyster.Flip flops fly off your feet for fun.Professional:

A tidy tiger tied a tie tighter to tidy her tiny tail.A flea and a fly flew up a flue.Said the flea, “Let us fly!” Said the fly, “Let us flee!” So they flew through a flaw in the flue.A snow-white swan swam swiftly to catch a slowly swimming snake in a lake.Expert:

All I want is a proper cup of coffee made in a proper copper(銅的)coffee pot, you can believe it or not, but I just want a cup of coffee in a proper coffee pot.Tin coffee pots or iron coffee pots are of no use to me.If I can't have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot, I'll have a cup of tea!

Master:

A tree toad(樹蛙)loved a she-toad who lived up in a tree.He was a two-toed tree toad but a three-toed toad was she.The two-toed tree toad tried to win the three-toed she-toad's heart, for the two-toed tree toad loved the ground that the three-toed tree toad trod(踩)on.But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.With her three-toed power the she-toad vetoed(否決)him.Some criticism can be harsh

SPRING Festival is approaching.You'd better hold on to your wallet tightly, or you could go bankrupt in the holiday shopping madness.But, you'd also better be prepared to face people's jokes or mockery about your being mean.If you choose not to spend, here's how criticism can sound ? from the mildest to the harshest:

1.She's such a penny-pincher.她真是個守財奴。

This sounds almost literal, but, for some reason, is somewhat light-hearted.To pinch: 節省，捏緊.2.He's really tight-fisted.他很吝嗇。

This is also literal sounding.It's also obviously similar to the Chinese expression “手很緊”.3.He's such a stingy person.他是個很小氣的人。

This one can have a slightly angrier tone to it.Stingy: 吝嗇的，小氣的.4.What a miser!真是個吝嗇鬼！

Also, like sentence 3, a fairly offensive comment.5.He's such a tightwad.他真是個小氣鬼。

This one carries a bit of an angry tone.Tightwad: 吝嗇鬼，守財奴.6.Money means everything to her.她視錢如命。

This one is even stronger criticism.7.He's a real scrooge.他是個不折不扣的守財奴。

This term, from the character in British writer Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, may be old, but it's still fresh and harsh.Scrooge: 吝嗇鬼.8.She'd sell her twin sister(if she had one)for a few pennies.為了幾個小錢，要她賣了她雙胞胎姐妹她都愿意。

This one may sound funny, but it's often really offensive.It also has variations: e.g.He'd sell his own mother just for some extra cash.21ST

Don't keep putting things off

AS the end of the year, or another semester, approaches, we need to pay attention to the time.To help you out, we give some terms from deadlines and schedules.1.The report is due on Friday/ this coming Friday.這個報告這個周五要交。

Note: If you're talking about the end of the current week on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, “on Friday” is OK.But, If you're referring to Friday on a Saturday or Sunday, “this coming Friday” is clearer than “next Friday”.2.We have a research paper due every other week.我們每兩周就要交篇論文。

Note: We also have “every other day”(每隔一天).I have to see my dentist every three days.(我每隔三天就要去看一次牙醫。)

However, “every single day” means every day.“Single” simply strengthen the repetitive sense.Mom, why should I have to brush my teeth every single day?(媽媽，為什么我每一天都得刷牙啊？)

3.We are out of time.我們時間不夠了。

Note: You're sweating on the final test, and suddenly the teacher announces, “We're running out of time.Be sure to sign your tests.”(時間快到了，請確定考卷填好了姓名)So, you try to write down as many words as possible in the final minutes until he announces, “Time's up”.4.How much longer do you need to get all this stuff done? 你還要多久才能把事情做完？ Note: “How much longer” puts emphasis on the length of the time(sometimes with an air of annoyance or impatience), while “How long” is a neutral expression simply asking for the numerical figure.5.Don't put things off until the last minute next time.下次不要再臨陣磨槍了。

Note: You can also put something off until the “last second”, depending on how disorganized you are.For those who do, there's another expression: “I'm cramming for the test.”(我正在臨時抱佛腳，準備考試。)

Be an ace in your conversation

LAST week we talked about some expressions related to test preparation.But, it's almost mid-January now, so maybe some students have had several tests, or have even got the results.In any case, what do you say when being asked about your test score?

1.Professor Li returned the philosophy tests today.李教授今天把哲學考卷發下來了

Note: There's no “test sheet” or “exam sheet” in English.Instead, it's just “test”(考卷)or “answer sheet”(答卷).2.The TA is going to explain the test tomorrow.助教明天會來講解考題

Note: TA is short for “teaching assistant”, which is usually a graduate student who is paid to help the professor.It's a popular way for grad students to make some extra money(though usually not much).People also say “go over the test” for discussing the results.3.I bombed on the test.我考砸了

Note: “Bomb” is similar to “fail” and “screw up”(It's as if a bomb had been dropped).You could say, “I bombed on that date.She'll never want to see me again.”

4.I believe I can ace it next time.我相信我下次一定能把它考好

Note: An “ace”, is the card in a deck of cards that can represent anything.It's also a fighter pilot who's a hero(王牌駕駛員).Here it's used as a verb.Of course, we can also say “score high on the test”, but it's not as catchy.5.There's nothing to talk about.沒什么好說的

Note: You failed the math exam and got depressed.A girl classmate, who doesn't recognize your depression, comes up and asks, “What's your score?” You don't want to answer, so you say, “Well, there's nothing to talk about.” Or, you can be even cooler with, “No comment”.Now, let's turn to exams

YES, it's a time for students to sweat, again!Exams are upon us.To add some spice to this miserable period of time and get our minds in a different space, let's discuss some exam-related talk.1.exam, test, quiz(測驗), pop quiz(隨堂小測驗)

Note: The above expressions are listed in the order of size and importance, from most serious to least serious, but with “exam” and “test” often used interchangeably.2.What's going to be covered on the test? / What's the test going to cover? 考試的范圍是什么?

Note: The most common way to ask about the content of the exam and the range of questions.Another expression is as follows: “Are you ready for the math test tomorrow?” “No.I'm not even sure of what'll be on it.”

3.The mid-term/final will be a comprehensive exam.這次期末考/期中考是沒有范圍的

Note: This is definitely the last thing you want to hear ? a comprehensive(test)may cover everything in your textbook, or even outside it.4.Where'd you get the old exam? 你從哪里拿到的以前的題?

Note: A universally recognized way to get ready in the quickest possible time: an old exam(or “previous” or “past exam”)can be really helpful.5.I have to prepare for tomorrow's test.我得準備明天的考試 Note: Don't forget to add the word “for”.If you say “I have to prepare the test,” it means you're the person responsible for making it--the professor.6.The philosophy test will be open book.哲學考試是開卷考試

Note: There are different types of tests: open book(開卷—可以看書), or open note(開卷—可以看筆記).All are designed to test how well-prepared you are, but in a different way.Why the long face?

HOW do you show your concern for a friend who seems to be in trouble? It's better for you to take a polite and less direct way to ask about the problem.Last week, we showed you five expressions.The following are five other options.1.Is something on your mind? / Do you have something on your mind? /What's on your mind? 你擔心什么呢?

Note: This has a milder, easier tone but can still apply to serious problems such as job dissatisfaction or even job loss or marital problems.Be on a person's mind: 有什么掛心的事

2.Why are you so glum? 你怎么看起來悶悶不樂的？

Note: Spoken in a mild tone, it sounds friendly and caring.Often used when someone is feeling blue or mildly depressed.3.Why the long face? 你怎么看起來這么疲憊？

Note: Meaning “Why do you seem so unhappy?” The complete sentence would be “Why do you have such a long face?”(But, no one would ever say that.)

4.You're not yourself today./ You don't seem to be yourself today.你今天有點心神不寧。

Note: Mild way of saying “you don't seem to be in such a good mood today” or “you don't seem to be feeling so well today”.People also say “Sorry, I'm just not myself today”(對不起，我也不知道今天我是怎么了), as an excuse after not performing well on the job.5.Who are you irritated with? 誰惹你生氣了？

Note: This is used only in a very specific situation where someone is having a problem with another person.Be irritated with?: 為……而急躁，為……而發怒.Is there anything wrong with you?

DO you sometimes see friends who aren't getting on well? Want to show your concern for them by asking about the problem? The following expressions can help you out if there's an uneasy silence.1.What's the matter? / What's the problem? 你怎么了?

Note: Commonly used to ask about any problems, physical, marital or financial.Do not confuse it with another expression “What's your problem?”(你什么毛病啊？)which is an aggressive way of saying “What IS wrong with you?” or “Why are you such a mess?”

What's the matter? You look tired/sad/uneasy/a bit sick/troubled.(你怎么了?看起來有點累/傷心/不安/生病了/有煩心事。)

2.What's wrong? / Is anything wrong? 出什么事了？

I kept calling you last night, but you didn't answer the phone.What's wrong/Is anything wrong?(我昨晚一直給你打電話但你都沒接，出什么事了？)

3.Is something bothering / troubling you? 你有什么煩心事嗎？/你沒事吧？

Is something bothering you? You don't seem to be able to concentrate.(你沒事吧？你好像沒法集中注意力。)

4.Are you OK / all right? 你還好吧？

Is everything OK / all right? 你沒什么事吧？

Note: Often used when people sense that something is wrong.5.What's going on? 出什么事了？ What happened? / What's happening? 你有什么心事嗎?

Note: Because the first one has the broader use meaning “What are you doing/What have you been doing lately”(你最近怎么樣？), it's not quite so serious.The second and the third are often used when there has been some physical problem ? something broken or destroyed, some marital dispute, some accident.It's 'loong' against evil dragon

SINCE early December, netizens(網民)have been proposing that we call the Chinese dragon the “loong”, so as to improve China's image.They argue that, since ancient times, the Chinese dragon has been seen as a symbol of China and was the emblem(徽章)of royal family.But in the West, dragons are large monsters that breathe fire and eat people.“Dragon”, they say, is not a suitable name for the Chinese creature that stands for good luck.So, what does the word “dragon” represent in the West? What makes it evil? The following will help give you a clue.The Bible

The history of the dragon as an evil monster in the West starts with the Bible.A search for the word “dragon” in the Bible produces 34 matches.The word is most directly translated as “sea or land monster” in the Old Testament(《舊約全書》).There is also a Biblical description of Satan where he's described as a red dragon, with seven heads and 10 horns(角), which is ready to eat a new-born child.Common speech

Expressions using “dragon” are often negative.A dragon lady refers to a powerful, domineering(作威作福的)or dangerous woman.They call her the dragon lady because she is always yelling at children.(他們把她叫做母夜叉，因為她總是對著孩子大吼大叫。)

People use “chase the dragon” to refer to smoking.Joan's marriage broke up after she began chasing the dragon.(沉迷于“吞云吐霧”之后，瓊的婚姻破裂了。)

Another humorous but still negative usage appeared in recent years.A mouthwash ad in the US used the term “dragon breath”.It refers to a man in the morning who hadn't brushed his teeth and who could knock a person over with his fierce breath.

二.思想建設方面

1.成員小型交流會

在第九屆分團委學生會建立伊始，生活部就及時以談心的方式召開了一次小型會議。首先，部長詳細地給每一個干事介紹了第九屆分團委學生會以及大家所身處的生活部，給他們講明了學生會的重要性以及我們這個涉及到學生生活方方面面的生活部的重要性，同時也傳達了學生會以及生活部的實質，要真真正正地做到實實在在學生會，全心全意為同學。同時，著重強調了英語學院分團委學生會雖然分為很多部，但是每一個部都是學生會不可或缺的一份子。雖然在名稱上有部門之分，但是在實際的工作中，我們應該摒棄部門之分的想法，要始終秉承英語學院學生會是一個大家庭，家庭成員之間應該相親相愛，真正凝結成一股繩的原則，在即將結束的這學期里生活部也很好地踐行了這個宗旨，積極協助其它部的工作。此外，部長還向各個干事強調了一點，生活部是英語學院分團委這個大家庭的一個小家庭，成員之間應該也要相互提出意見，任何成員工作上出現了問題都要及時提出，并改正。另外，部長還向各個干事仔細闡述了本部的工作細則，具體負責的工作，以及工作時應注意的問題。部長和各干事也在私下里積極和上一屆的生活部成員進行了溝通，更進一步了解工作。2.生活部成員---學生見面會

第九屆學生會成立不久，進行了一次學生會成員與同學的見面會。生活部各成員抓住了這個好機會及時地和學生之間建立了聯系。首先，我們簡單地做了自我介紹，介紹了我們的部門以及具體負責的工作，鼓勵大家，尤其是新生不管遇到什么問題，不管是否我們部門的工作，都可以尋求我們的幫助，我們也會盡己所能為大家排憂解難。我們留下了自己的聯系方式，方面學生與我們之間的聯系。3.生活部成員---各班班長，生活委建橋梁

生活部很多時候必須通過各班生活委和大家進行溝通。所以我們及時收集了大一至大四各班生活委的聯系方式，并給他們留下了我們的聯系方式。同時，考慮到每個人都會遇到手機停機等狀況，為了不耽誤工作，我們還收集了各班班長的聯系方式以備不時之需。

同時，生活部本部成員之間也有一個君子協定：在校期間不允許有手機停機狀況的出現。二.組織建設方面

1.責任明確

第九屆分團委學生會學生會生活部自成立以來，沒有給各個干事明確地劃分工作任務，我們部的原則是有事情大家共同承擔，共同解決。這樣可以增強部門內部凝聚力。而且生活部的每一項任務都具體指定負責人，責任到人，其他成員輔助負責人完成工作。2.部門成員之間聯系密切

生活部各成員之間一直保持密切的聯系，每一個成員所負責的任務完成之后都要其他成員交換意見，以便更一步做好工作。

3.做好本職工作的同時完成好學習

生活部一直強調學習是學生的本職，必須放在首位。一定要在不耽誤學習的基礎上出色地完成自己的工作。因此，如果本部有什么任務，空課的成員都積極主動地承擔起來，盡最大努力做到學習，工作兩不誤。三．活動組織 1.寢室設計大賽(1)宣傳階段

自從2011年10月中旬收到學校關于第八屆以“錦繡紡織，共筑溫馨”為主題的寢室設計大賽的通知后，英語學院分團委生活部就對本次設計大賽的主題及相關流程等進行了大力的宣傳，并多次積極走寢，動員同學積極參加本次比賽，為營造良好的寢室文化氛圍，增強寢室凝聚力，調動同學積極性，發揮各個寢室的特長和“團結友愛，互幫互助”的精神，給同學們提供更多發揮自己創造性的空間，充分展示大學生風采，并且希望在寢室長的帶領下，用睿智的頭腦，靈巧的雙手，點綴生活空間，詮釋學生理想的生活和飛揚的夢想。(2)準備及報名階段

本次寢室設計大賽主要對象是剛大一新生，也是主要的宣傳對向，大二及以上的年級也可自愿參加，到10月中旬末生活部已將參加寢室設計大賽的各個寢室登記在冊。各個參加的寢室也在此期間進行了積極地準備，院內給出的截止籌備時間是10月26日。(3)院內評比階段

2011年10月26日，在英語學院分團委學生會全體成員的共同努力下，我們根據寢室設計大賽的標準對寢室設計大賽的成果進行了兩次審核，并給予打分和攝像，最終評選出院內的六個優秀寢室。

院內選出的優秀寢室即為參加學校評比的寢室，并且優秀寢室于10月28日送交學校參加評比。經過一段時間的悉心等待最終校級的評比結果公布，我院在校級的比賽中獲得了驕人的成績，我院有兩個寢室獲得一等獎的好成績，他們是英語123班S16-314-2和英語122班S16-132，二等獎有三個寢室，他們是翻譯121班的S16-114-1，英語122班的S13-508和英語121班S16-214-2，兩個優秀獎獎，他們是英語122班的S16-207，英語123班的S16-229。

獲得獎項縱然使人高興，但我們更看重的是在寢室審計過程中，寢室成員之間友誼的創建，合作能力的提升。2.后勤體驗篇

本學期有一項重要的活動——大連大學第五屆后勤體驗周活動。在12級新生于躍、杜夢涵、張倩、徐宏玉、毛瑞園五名同學的參與下進行了為期半個月的體驗活動。11月13日，由干事帶領五名體驗學員在行政樓605開了關于后勤體驗周的會議，會上講了后勤體驗周的目的內容及注意事項。同時也標志著大連大學第五屆后勤體驗周活動正式啟動。11月14日早上6：45，干事帶領五名體驗學員參加了新文的衛生清掃工作，主要是幫助負責打掃衛生的阿姨清掃了樓道樓梯，包括窗臺樓梯扶手暖氣等。晚上7：45，所有成員一起參加了新文教室的清掃工作，將新文的六個大階梯教室逐一清掃拖干凈。同學們的反應——累！但是他們也真切的體驗到了后勤工作人員的艱辛。自11月15日到11月22日，正式開始了后勤體驗周的主要內容——調查教室的利用率。每晚7：45，所有參與的同學都頂著風準時到文階逐個調查教室的自習人數，自習情況及衛生情況，并且作了詳細的記錄。教室衛生差

早自習是樓門開的晚，導致大批學生樓前等待 教室內無人卻燈火通明，教室節能差

中間在11月16日中午生活部干事代表英語學院在行政樓605參加了討論會，對后勤體驗周活動進行了進一步的商討。11月24日所有的成員針對大一及大二部分學生做了一份關于大連大學教室使用情況的調查問卷，并對調查問卷進行了統計及數據分析。11月25日，五名 體驗學員統一上交了自己的體驗報告。

之后的收尾工作由負責人來完成。11月19日各院負責人在CC空間討論了此次活動的收尾工作。根據此次會上的討論，王超林同學利用26、27日兩天時間整合了五名體驗學員的報告，并根據工作記錄分析數據，做了一份教室利用率的調查報告，并根據調查問卷的數據分析及體驗記錄做了一份關于大連大學教師存在的問題及建議的總結報告。并在28日上交。11月30日7：30到9：30在物理學院各院負責人集合將各院上交的研究報告包括教室設備問題、衛生問題、利用率問題等統一進行了整合和修改，形成了一份完整的體驗總結報告。至此后勤體驗周活動除了學校的總結大會基本上就圓滿結束了。

3.男生寢室門簾制作篇

因為男生寢室的需要，所以經過生活部主動與學院研究決定為男寢門外的玻璃上統一做小門簾，既可以滿足男同學的需求，同時也展現我們學院的精神面貌，生活部就與11月中旬著手為他們統一制做了門簾。

在做之前我們部內部進行了一系列的準備工作，我們于2012-11-5號晚上分別去光伸，清源以及北區進行了選材，價格對比等，最終確定在北區制作小門簾，并在其上寫上“惟吾德馨，英語學院”，并于11月12日完成后及時發給男生各個寢室，事后在檢查寢室的過程中看了一下整體效果很好。同學對此也非常滿意。門簾制作以及圖釘共計309元人民幣。后續工作方面我們還需要向男同學強調應保持小門簾的清潔，及時清洗，爭取能讓此工作效果保持較長的時間，并展現我們英語學院的精神風貌。

4.大一自習室衛生檢查及學院大清掃報告

十月份，生活部著重督查了大一兩個自習室的衛生情況，前期520自習室的衛生情況較差，提出以后進行限期整改，效果不錯且一直在保持。

11月15日，進行了一次學院大清掃，由生活部部長汪中燕，干事張影、張阿麗輔助，干事王超林負責。此次學院大清掃定于中午十二點十分，但同學們普遍都是拖拖拉拉的，唯獨 123班同學準時到學院，干勁十足不挑剔不抱怨，效果非常好。可能是剛上大一，第一次參加學院大清掃，同學總體表現比較亂。生活委缺乏經驗，之前沒有明確參加大清掃的人名單，時間已經到了但學生沒來，生活委也無從查起。再一個問題，任務沒有落實到人，造成現場混亂，有些同學忙得不可開交，有些同學則在談笑風生，沒有真正組織起來。所以此次學院大清掃所用時間較長。之后各班生活委也在班里總結了此次大清掃的弊端，相信也增長了不少的經驗。5.寢室衛生大檢查篇

寢室是大家生活，學習的地方，有一個干凈衛生的環境會讓人感受到舒適與放松。寢室就像是一個室友共同的家，整潔的家會讓里面的人覺得溫暖。而且，搞好寢室衛生也能預防一些疾病的發生，臟亂差的環境很容易滋生細菌，影響人的身體健康。所以良好的寢室衛生與人與己都是有利無害的。在2012年十月25日和2012年十一月1日（周四中午的12點四十），我們分別進行了兩次寢室衛生大檢查，第一次主要是針對大一的新生寢室，第二次主要是針對大二和大三的寢室。在這兩次檢查中，有很多亮點，但也有很多的不足之處。對于第一次檢查，女生寢室都表現得很好，地面都非常干凈，自己的物品也都整理的非常整齊，各個死角也都打掃的非常干凈,有個別寢室還把自己寢室的玻璃擦得十分干凈,所有女同學都對這次檢查很重視，所以都很認真的打掃。其中有個別寢室非常值得表揚，以前學校都給打掃的非常不好的寢室貼白條，但是我們竟然發現學校給大一的某個寢室貼了一張“非常優秀”的白條，這在我們學院甚至是在整個學校都是很難見到的，所以要提出深切的表揚。再說一下大一的男同學寢室，相比較與女生寢室而言，男生寢室就顯得非常差。這也與男生的寢室環境有關，男生的寢室非常狹窄，而且每個寢室最多住五到六個人，所以寢室的物品就顯得很多，如果稍稍擺放的不整齊，就會顯得特別的亂，但是同學們做的還都很好，從他們整理后的寢室可以看出他們都很用心的打掃了，只是其中有某個寢室，其空氣不是特別的好，我想這肯定與某個人的衛生習慣有關，所以希望那些同學可以搞好自己的個人衛生。

第二次檢查的是大二和大三同學的寢室，相比于大一同學的寢室，大二和大三的寢室就顯得不那么整潔，這與大二和大三的同學物品非常多也有著密不可分的關系，但從整體上來說，寢室的衛生還是弄得很不錯的，女生寢室與男生寢室相比，還是略勝一籌，考慮到男生的寢室條件，也可以理解他們的狀況，只是希望所有的寢室都能認真的對待每次的衛生檢查，保持好寢室的衛生環境，給自己也給自己的室友一個舒適、溫馨的生活環境。

最后，還有很重要的一點，就是所有的寢室都嚴格遵守學校的規章制度，都沒有發現有使用違規電器的寢室，這點是很值得表揚的一點，這不僅僅是遵守著學校的要求，這同時也是對自己的安全負責的表現。希望在以后的日子里，所有的寢室都能保持好自己的寢室衛生，同時也遵守學校的規章制度，對他人負責，同時也是對自己負責。四．總結

在以后的日子里我們會再接再厲，繼續嚴格秉承學生會宗旨，服務學生，建設學院。

第五篇：生活常用英語句子

2.I just couldn“t help it.我就是忍不住。想想看，這樣一個漂亮的句子可用于多少個場合？下面是隨意舉的一個例子：

I was deeply moved by the film and I cried and cried.I just couldn“t help it.3.Don“t take it to heart.別往心里去，別為此而憂慮傷神。生活實例：This test isn“t that important.Don“t take it to heart.安慰人的超級句子。

4.We“d better be off.我們該走了。It“s getting late.We“d better be off.5.Let“s face it.面對現實吧。常表明說話人不愿意逃避困難的現狀。參考例句：I know it“s a difficult situation.Let“s face it, ok?

很棒啊，年輕人犯錯誤，上帝都會原諒，remember？但是犯了錯誤，你必須面對他，Let“s face it。或者是：Let“s face the music.6.Let“s get started.咱們開始干吧。勸導別人時說：Don“t just talk.Let“s get started.Let“s get started.Let“s start.Let“s do it right now.Llet“s hit sth.Let“s rock&roll.Let“s put our hands on sth.7.I“m really dead.我真要累死了。坦誠自己的感受時說：After all that work, I“m really dead.8.I“ve done my best.我已盡力了。

這句話，很有用，失敗有時難免，但是你要是可以說，I“ve done my best.I spare no efforts。就不必遺憾，畢竟，Man supposes,god disposes.9.Is that so?真是那樣嗎？常用在一個人聽了一件事后表示驚訝、的懷疑。

10.Don“t play games with me!別跟我耍花招！

11.I don“t know for sure.我不確切知道。

Sranger: Could you tell me how to get to the town hall?

Tom: I don“t know for sure.Maybe you could ask the policeman over there.12.I“m not going to kid you.我不是跟你開玩笑的。

Karin: You quit the job? You are kidding.Jack: I“m not going to kid you.i“m serious.13.That“s something.太好了，太棒了。

A: I“m granted a full scholarship for this semester.B: Congratulations.That“s something.14.Brilliant idea!這主意真棒！這主意真高明！

15.Do you really mean it? 此話當真？

Michael: Whenever you are short of money, just come to me.David: Do you really mean it?

16.You are a great help.你幫了大忙

17.I couldn“t be more sure.我再也肯定不過。

18.I am behind you.我支持你。

Whatever decision you“re going to make, I am behind you.19.I“m broke.我身無分文。

I am penniless.20.Mind you!請注意！聽著！(也可僅用mind。)

模范例句：Mind you!He“s a very nice fellow though bad-tempered.21.You can count on it.你盡管相信好了，盡管放心。

A: Do you think he will come to my birthday party?

B: You can count on it.22.I never liked it anyway.我一直不太喜歡這東西。當朋友或同事不小心摔壞你的東西時就可以用上這句話給他一個臺階，打破尷尬局面：Oh, don“t worry.I“m thinking of buying a new one.I never liked it anyway.23.That depends.看情況再說。(on sth)

例：I may go to the airport to meet her.but that depends.25.Thanks anyway.無論如何我還是得謝謝你。當別人盡力要幫助你卻沒幫成時，你就可以用這個短語表示謝意。

26.It“s a deal.一言為定

Harry: Haven“t seen you for ages.Let“s have a get-together next week.Jenny: It“s a deal

電影里經常聽到，It“s a deal, That is a good deal.或是兩個人打算達成某個協議或是做成某個生意會說：Deal? Deal!
