For the gentleman-in-waiting, virtue consisted above all in grace and style, in doing well what was appropriate to his position;education was merely a way of acquiring polish.And vice was manifested in gracelessness, awkwardness, in behaving
inappropriately,discourteously, or ostentatiously.For the apprentice, however, virtue was evidenced in success through hard work.The requisite qualities of character were not grace or style, but drive, determination, and a sharp eye for opportunity.While casual liberality and even prodigality characterized thegentleman, frugality, thrift, and self-control came to distinguish the new apprentice.And while the gentleman did not aspire to a higher station because his station was already high, the apprentice was continually becoming,striving, struggling upward.Failure for the apprentice meant standing still,not rising.1.For the gentleman-in-waiting, virtue consisted above all in grace and style, in doing well what was appropriate to his position;
對于那些準紳士來說,美德首先包括高雅的風度和作風,及符合自己身份地位的表現;
解析:above all 是插入語;跳過就好:consisted in...包括...2.education was merely a way of acquiringpolish.教育僅僅是達到優雅的一種方式。
3.And vice was manifested in gracelessness,awkwardness, in behaving
inappropriately, discourteously, or ostentatiously.而笨拙,粗俗,無禮,招搖等都是惡行的表現。
4.For the apprentice, however, virtue was evidenced in success through hard work.而對于那些學徒來說,美德表現在通過努力獲得的成功中。
5.The requisite qualities of character were not grace or style, but drive, determination, and a sharp eye for opportunity.學徒必備的品質不是優雅風度而是積極,決心和尋找機會的銳利的眼光。
6.While casual liberality and even prodigality characterized the gentleman, frugality(樸素,節儉), thrift(節儉), and self-controlcame to distinguish the new apprentice.當懶散的自由化及至揮霍浪費成了紳士的特色時,節儉,自制就成了新學徒的標志。
7.And while the gentleman did not aspire toa higher station because his station was already high, the apprentice was continually becoming, striving, struggling upward.紳士的社會地位已經很高,因此不再渴望更高的社會地位,而學徒卻一直努力地向上攀登。
8.Failure for the apprentice meant standing still,not rising.對于學徒來說,原地不動,沒有上升就意味著失敗
The picture above does illustrate the topic of greatness and commonness.While all of us acknowledge that greatness, a noble characteristic, is sharedby people such as Gandhi, Chairman Mao, and Martin Luther King Jr., what this picture demonstrates is that this life-affirming quality very often rests in the ordinary.The quality of greatness is not the exclusive province of thoserecognized publicly for their deeds.We are all capable of seeing with love and acting from the heart---two essential qualities of those who accomplish the selfless deeds that transform the world for the better.It is the choice FanDangYu,an ordinary policeman in HeBei province of China, makes, for example, when faced with a call to action, no matter how seemingly small or grand, that sets apart and elevates his esteem in others' eyes, and even successfully softens the harsh image of Chinese Policeman.雖然我每天的標題沒有改,還是每天一句,但是做的早就不僅僅是每天一句的事情了,我在做什么大家應該懂得!加油吧!
The quality of greatness is not the exclusive province of those recognized publicly for their deeds.解析:短語:A is not the exclusive province of B
A不是B的專屬
recognized publicly=publicly recognized定語修飾 those;
for their deeds.狀語修飾recognized
deeds 行為,功績
譯文:偉大的特質并不專屬于那些由于他們的功績而被公眾認同的人
It is the choice FanDangYu,an ordinary policeman in HeBei province of China, makes, for example, when faced with a call to action, no matter how seemingly small or grand, that sets apart and elevates his esteem in others' eyes,and even successfully softens the harsh image of Chinese Policeman.主干: It is the choice that sets...and elevate...and even softens...其他成分:(that)FanDangYu,an ordinary policeman in HeBei province of China,makes定語從句
when faced with a call to action, 狀語
no matter how seemingly small or grand 定語修飾 actions
The picture above does illustrate the topic of greatness and commonness.參考譯文:上面的圖畫確實向我們展現了關于平凡與偉大的話題。
While all of us acknowledge that greatness, a noble characteristic, isshared by people such as Gandhi, Chairman Mao, andMartin Luther King Jr., what this picture demonstrates is that thislife-affirming quality very often rests in the ordinary.主干識別:what this picture demonstrates is that..其他成分:While all ofus acknowledge that greatness, a noble characteristic, is shared
by people such as Gandhi, Chairman Mao, and Martin LutherKing Jr., 讓
步狀語從句
this life-affirming quality veryoften rests in the ordinary.表語從句 翻譯點撥:詞匯點撥:
1.Rest in :位于 …,在于…,由于…,Anger restsin the bosom of folly.怒火常棲息于愚者之腹中。
The trouble rests in the people'sdissatisfaction with the government's
performance.這次**源于人民對政府的工作不滿意。
2.life-affirming= positive(積極的,正的)
正能量的…(這是一個比較時髦的詞,翻譯為中文可能會有
些別扭,但是英文中很地道)
翻譯點撥:
雖然我們都認同偉大,這種高尚的品質,是被這樣的偉人所擁有的:甘地,毛主席,馬丁路德金(小Jr),這幅圖畫確實向我們展示偉大(這
樣一種積極的品質)往往是來自于平凡的。
The quality of greatness is not the exclusive province of those recognizedpublicly for their deeds.(見昨天日志)
We are all capable of seeing with love and acting from the heart---twoessential qualities of those who accomplish the selfless deeds that transformthe world for the better.主干識別:We are all capable of seeing with love andacting from the heart我們都能用愛去看這個世界并發自內心的去做一些事情。
其他成分:twoessential qualities of those who accomplish the selfless deeds that
transformthe world for the better.前面of 賓語的兩個同位語;
who accomplish the selfless deeds 定語從句修飾those;
thattransform the world for the better.定語從句修飾deeds
翻譯點撥:同位語的翻譯:
對那些做出無私的行為來讓這個世界變得更好的人而言,這是兩種必
須的品質。
It is the choice FanDangyu, an ordinary policeman in HeBei province of China, makes, forexample, when faced with a call to action, no matter how seemingly small orgrand, that sets apart and elevates his esteem in others' eyes, and evensuccessfully softens the harsh image of Chinese Policeman.主干識別:It is the choice that sets apart andelevates his esteem in others' eyes and
softens the harsh image of Chinese policemen(強調句)
其他成分: for example 插入語(理解的時候放到最前面,是對于前面句子的例

China為同位語;
when faced with a call to action,no matter how seemingly small or grand狀語
翻譯點撥:主干中是并列的動詞同時接相同的賓語:

Set part his esteem(看法和名望)in others eyes.Elevates his esteem
Soften the harsh image 改善了…惡劣的形象

舉個例子,范黨育,一名普通的河北警察,正是他在面對無論多大或
多小的事件時,所作出的行動的選擇,使他在群眾眼中的形象變的不
同并被極大的提升,甚至成功的改善了中國警察原本惡劣的形象

關于幸福的話題About happiness
Over the last 3 decades , we have enjoyed unparalleled economic
growth.We have better homes, cars, holidays, jobs, education and above all health.According to standard economic theory, this should have made us happier.But surveys show otherwise.More people suffer from
depression, and crime, another indicator of dissatisfaction is also much higher.We all want a society in which people are as happy as possible and in which each person’s happiness counts equally.It seems likely that the extra comforts we now enjoy have increased our happiness somewhat, but that deteriorating relationships have made us less happy.If we want a happier society, we should focus most on the experiences which people value for their intrinsic worth and not because other people have them, above all, on relationships in the family, at work and in the community.We live in an age of unprecedented individualism.The highest obligation many people feel is to make the most of themselves, to realize their potential.This is a terrifying and lonely objective.To become happier, we have to change our inner attitudes as much as our outward circumstances.We should have a policy for promoting a healthier
philosophy of life for youngsters and for helping them to distinguish between superficial pleasures and real happiness.It would inspire us in our daily lives to take more pleasure in the happiness of others, and to promote it.In this way we might all become less self-centered and happier.關愛老人,關注老人的幸福
Li Jun, 84, who lives alone, found a way to pass his time and keep his “spirits” high by being a nude model.But after coming to know about his new “profession”, Li's son told him never to visit his(son's)home again because he considered the experience “humiliating”.The son does have the right to feel offended, but he should also understand his father's predicament especially because the latter lives alone, says an article in Guangzhou Daily.Excerpts:
Perhaps Li chose to be a nude model to break the monotony of his lonely life.His decision is not necessarily related to any artistic or
professional pursuit.In fact, Li has said that his new job offers him a sense of happiness and makes him feel still useful.Living a meaningful and happy life means more than anything else to senior citizens.Unfortunately, Li's son cannot understand this simple fact and realize that his father is not trying any cheap tricks.People's physical abilities decline with advancing age, but that does not mean they cannot be involved in independent spiritual pursuits.Spiritual pursuit brings a meaning to senior citizens' lives and is a cause for joy to them.Many of us still cannot understand and respect elderly people's
independent mindset.People's twilight years could turn sour if they are forced to follow the value standards of their children.We need to pay attention to the spiritual needs of senior citizens, and respect their choices, values and dignity because they are part of their rights and their children's obligation.幸福寫作第二段能用的:
To a large extent, the trend of an increasing number of Chineseresidents feeling happy is the result of China's rapid economic growth.Theincrease in many people's sense of happiness in recent years can generally beattributed to improvements in family income, social welfare and publicservices.Many of those who say they are unhappy seem to ignore the better sideof life.They have a tendency to see a glass as “half empty” ratherthan “half full”.But there are many real and crucial problems
thatinfluence people's happiness.What haunts ordinary Chinese people are issuessuch as rising housing prices, the cost of medical treatment, social securityand pollution.Happiness is a relative concept, which has something to do withexpectations.When some people say they are unhappy, it doesn't necessarily meantheir life or livelihood has worsened.Instead, it could mean that they havehigher expectations from life.Economics Nobel Prize winner Paul Samuelson saidhappiness equals utility divided by desire, according to which an increasingdesire may reduce a person's sense of happiness.寫作第三段能用的:
People may have different views on happiness.But it's good to see thatpeople's sense of happiness has become a hot topic in the media.This showsthat authorities at all levels are paying more attention to people's materialand spiritual needs, instead of blindly pursuing economic growth.亮點: residents 代替 people
They have a tendency to see a glass as “half empty” ratherthan “half full”.樂觀和悲觀的絕佳句子
Haunts 困擾
Economics Nobel Prize winner Paul Samuelson 名人啊記住了
關于雷鋒的話題
Lei Feng is more than just a name in China.He is hailed as a cultural icon, symbolizing selflessness, modesty, and dedication.His name creeps into people's hearts, daily conversation, music, even movies;his imagery can be found on cups, T-shirts, and bags.Now the top Chinese leaders are exhorting people to emulate Lei Feng in a bid to fight the downsides of economic development and market freedom, like money-worship, apathy, and lack of honesty and trust.With many people still reeling from several shocking events in 2011, including the death of a 2-year-old girl who was ignored by passers-by after being run over, authorities are evoking the spirit of the legendary figure to encourage altruism.

About physical training
Recently, we have made a survey of the people on physical training.Only 35 percent of the people surveyed have taken part in physical activities.Over half of the people say they haven't got enough time to take exercises.34.9 percent of them complain they don't have places where they can relax themselves and that there are not enough training facilities, while another 12.9 percent of the people feel that they live too far away from the training centers.Some of them even don't know how to train.For lack of physical training, many people are not in good health.People should realize the importance of it, and measures should be taken to provide people with training facilities.Dear Mary,I am sorry to hear that you have been ill for days and hope you have got better now.You have studied so hard that you have had no time for exercise.This is harmful for your health.You have been in poor health these years.I feel it would be more beneficial to your health if you could take more exercise in future.Do not think that time spent in exercise is wasted.Exercise can improve your physical constitution and refresh the mind.After one or two hours of exercise you can study better.Only when you have a strong body can you keep on studying without felling fatigue.Otherwise your study will be interrupted from time to time by fatigue or sickness.I am not advising you to devote all your time to exercise.What I want to say is that exercise is as useful and important as your study.I hope you can take at least one hours exercise every day after you are recovered.I would be more than happy to see you have a stronger body.I would like to suggest that...我想建議……
I am writing to express my views concerning...我寫信來是要表達有關……我的看法。You have asked for my advice with regard to...and I will try to make some suggestions.你問我有關……的事情,我會嘗試著提出一些建議。
If I were you, I would...如果我是你,我會……
It seems to me that you could...我認為你可以……
I think it would be more beneficial if you could...我想如果你能……,可能會更好。I believe you will take my advice into account.我相信你會認真考慮我的建議的。I hope you will find these proposals/suggestions/recommendations
practical/useful/helpful.我希望這些建議/意見/看法對你來說實用/有用/有幫助。I will be more than happy to see improvements in this regard.如果這方面有所改善我會非常開心的。
I will be ready for further discussing this matter into details.我時刻準備著就此事進行更詳盡的討論。
第三篇:有用學英語文章
這樣學英語三個月超過你過去學三年 來源: 潘永政的日志
本文作者三年間從四級勉強及格到高級口譯筆試210,口試232。找工作面試時給其口試的老外考官聽了一分鐘就說你的英語不用考了。雖不敢說方法一定是最好的,但從現在開始隨便誰不要再去找學習資料,每天花兩個鐘頭照說的做,堅持三個月的提高會超過你過去三年。
聽:網上比較有代表性的論壇是普特上面的聽力資源很豐富,滬江和旺旺上一些材料的也很不錯,從中間隨便挑一個網站堅持即可。但是千萬不要一個個都聽過來。記住,開始階段100篇文章聽一遍,不如一篇文章聽100遍。如果基礎比較弱,那么每天慢速VOA(大概比四級聽力稍難一些)聽兩篇,每篇10遍以后再看原文,弄清楚每個單詞的意思,看完以后再聽10遍以上。保證兩周以后你回去聽四六級聽力會很不耐煩。過了慢速就可以聽常速了,還是精聽為主泛聽為輔。
常速還不過癮,可以去找talkshow來聽,譬如Saturday Night,在優酷或者土豆上都有。
不要問這樣做有沒有效果,我堅持了三個月,以后看美劇大部分時間不需要看字幕。
順便說下論壇的作用,上論壇不要問這個詞什么意思這類低級問題,不要指望別人替你查字典,別人的時間也是時間。但是一個句子弄不懂,就不要自個兒糾結了,盡管去問。另外要懂得投桃報李,有能力也盡量去回答別人的問題,教學相長。
說:
說起來很奇妙,我起初也只是打算先過聽力關,按照上面的步驟堅持了3個月,不過在聽的同時跟著讀,后來因為聽的太爛太無聊,會跟著錄音一起背,兩個月下來發現開口說英語變成了很自然的事情。回頭來看,英語的口語真的是看似入門很難,但是真的進去了也就那么回事。不過高口訓練的英漢對譯還是很有用的,實際上拿新概念的材料就可以做,無非是看這英文說漢語看著漢語說英文,然后再對照原文進行糾正。
再強調一下,我不是生來語言高手,四級考了兩次,現在周圍人覺得我英語很牛,實際上只要我的方法誰都能學會,看你能不能堅持。
讀:
讀的一個基礎是單詞量,單詞不夠的話讀書是痛苦不是享受。四級單詞是最最最起碼的要求,有了四級基礎,語法還湊合的話,建議直接看上國外報紙網站看文章,建議看經濟學人,或者紐約時報每天不要看多,看一篇就夠了。開始碰到生詞會很多,感覺很難受,但是一定要堅持,碰到所有不會的單詞,都要記下來弄懂。碰到不會的單詞怎么辦,查谷歌字典http://dict.google.com,或者韋試辭典的在線版/
單詞如果今天記住明天忘怎么辦,最簡單的辦法,找本專門的本子記下來,不要大本子,要可以隨身帶的那種;如果能經常上網,也可以試一下一起背單詞這個網站,可以讓你在線背單詞,跟本子比最大好處就是不怕學習記錄丟了,而且它有記憶曲線的功能可以提醒你復習。
再說一點,英語閱讀材料中,最簡單的是專業文章,其次是新聞,最難的是小說。我花了一年多時間就毫不費力的可以讀懂紐約時報,但是很久以后才能勉強讀完Da Vinci Code。但是真的讀完一本幾百頁的小說,帶來的成就感是讀幾篇文章難以比擬的。
寫:
這個其實要看個人目標了,如果是達到和他人書信email交流的目的,其實前面3個步驟下來,寫已經完全不是問題了。
如果還要追求文筆,可以去看看華爾街日報中文版VOA Special English Vocabulary 1500

第五篇:英語作文超豪華萬能-超有用
首先,根據對歷年考題的研究,發現大多數為論文,并且總可以想一種辦法通過加入Why、How、Where、When等單詞將題目轉換成一個疑問句(有的題目本身就是疑問句,有的提綱中有疑問句可借用)。這樣無論是什么題目,我們都可以針對主題直接提問,套入下面的模板中:
_________?(針對題目提問,以2004年以例,直接把提綱中第三點“當我們達到自己的目標之后應該怎么辦?”抄過來就好了)There is a general controvers nowadays as to the issue,some people claim that there are various advantages of ____.(隨便說一方觀點)They believe that____.(再闡述一下)Other people argue that the disadvantages are more evident.Their belief is reinforced by ____(調查、圖表、短文等等,2004年是短文)which shows that about __ percent of the ___s(學生、老人、兒童,會什么詞寫什么詞吧)______.(再重復一次觀點)Weighing the pros and cons of both sides,I am inclined to agree to the former(latter)point of view.The explanation for this phenomenon involves many complicated factors.In the first place,__.(第一種情況,編一句吧)A case in point is that ___.(舉個例子,隨便寫)In the second place,___.(第二種情況,再編)For instance,___.(還是舉例子)Last but not least,_____.(最后一種情況,仍然編)
Judging from all evidence offered we may reasonably arrive at the moral that ___(作者觀點)since ___.(綜合一下上述理由)
Perhaps the best policy is to regulate it so as to maximize it's advantages and minize it's disadvantages.In the meantime,a kind of punishment should be given to those who have violated certain regulations.當然要結合一下實際情況,看題目的要求是否全滿足了。比如2004年題目要求的提綱中有三個方面,就在最后一段隨便說兩句。至少“我的目標是成為一名老師”不會說不上來吧。然后可以再說一句“但是我的目標還沒有實現”,即可把題目要求完全覆蓋了。
模板本身已經接近150字了,只要稍微加幾個簡單句就可以完成了。差不多全是廢話,但又都是放之四海而皆準的,無論題目是什么,絕不會跑題的。
注意:本模板只適用于菜鳥,確保在不會寫的情況下作文可以達到10分以上,精通英文的大蝦們就不必看了。
另:本人由于用了過長時間打草稿,后來幾乎沒有時間了,好在是先寫的作文,后來的漢譯英寫的字我自己都不認得了,這種情況下卷二仍得了21分,此模板功不可沒呀。
再次向海風老大等諸位板主致意!!
