思念盼望并介意(miss,look forward to, mind)

第三篇:趣味英语
1.大家都知道,如果路边的小屋上写有w.c.的字样,那大概就是一个可以方便的地方。请问w.c.的完整英语形式是怎样的?
a.washing roomb.washing casec.water closetd.water caster
2.许多同学都有自己的电子邮箱,如 chqdjy@163.com 等。请问其中的@表示什么意思,该怎么读?
a.@ 的意思是“电脑”,读作“a 外一个圈”。
b.@ 的意思是“邮箱”,读作“圈内一个 a”。
c.@ 的意思是“为”,读音与介词for相同。
d.@ 的意思是“在”,读音与介词 at 相同。
3.你给一个手机关机的人打电话,你在电话中听到的英语是:
a.sorry,the phone you waited is powered off.b.sorry,the person you dialed is powering off.c.sorry,the subscriber you dialed is powered off.d.sorry,the subscriber you liked is powering off.4.2008年北京奥运会的英文口号是 _______.a.one world,one dream
b.new beijing,great olympics
c.great china welcome you
d.faster,higher,stronger
5.许多商品的商标上都标有英语字母“tm”或一个带圈的大写字母r,你知道它们是什么意思吗?
a.tm 表示注册商标,带圈的r表示准注册商标
b.tm 是商标符号,r 是商标注册符号
c.tm 是进口商品的商标符号,r 是国内商品的商标符号
d.tm 表示驰名商品的商标,r 表示非驰名商品的商标
「答案与解析」
1.答案选c.即w.c.是由water closet的首字母缩略而来的。它主要用于英国英语,指有抽水设备的厕所,但在美国,人们几乎不用它。英语中表示“厕所”的其他表达还有:toilets,ladies‘ room,men’s room,comfort station,public convenience,restroom,lavatory,washroom 等。
2.答案选d.@ 在此相当于英语中的介词at,意为“在”,故读作“[at]”,如 chqdjy@163.com 的意思就是“位于在163.com 网站上的一个名叫 chqdjy 的邮箱”。
3.答案选c.subscriber的意思是“用户”,dial 用作动词的意思是“拨(电话号码)”,power off 是个短语动词,本意为“切断动力”,这里指“关机”。句中的 you dialed 是定语从句,用以修饰其前的先行词 the subscriber.顺便说一句,假若你拨打一个正在通话的手机,你在电话中听到的英语将是:sorry,the subscriber you dialed is busy now.please redial later.4.答案选a.2008年北京奥运会的英文口号是one world,one dream.选项b(new beijing,great olympics)是北京申办奥运会的口号,其意为“新北京,新奥运”;而选项c(faster,higher,stronger)则是奥林匹克格言。
5.答案选b.即tm 是商标符号,是英文trade mark(商标)的简写;r 是商标注册符号,取的是英文registration(注册)的首字母。tm作为商标符号它只表示该商标已经向商标局登记(申请注册),并不表示商标局已核准注册,另外,有些商标持有者要想声明自己是某商标的拥有者,也可在商标上标明tm,还有的商标上标注的tm可能只是想表示它是商标,而不是商品名称。但是,r则不同,它作为商标注册符号,它不仅表示已经向商标局登记,而且表示商标局已核准注册。换个角度说,标有tm的商标还不受法律保护,而标有r的商标则受法律保护。

对于那些患有数字13恐惧症的人们来说,今年可真是难熬的一年。
This is going to be a very trying year for people with Triskaidekaphobia, also known as the fear of the number 13.对于那些患有数字13恐惧症的人们来说,今年可真是难熬的一年。
While the superstitious folks afflicted with this problem can easily stay home on Friday the 13th, it’s going to be a lot harder to stay inside for another 362 days。
以往迷信的人可以在家躲过每个13号的周五,但剩下362天难道也在家宅过去吗?
Why is 13 considered unlucky, anyway?
那么为什么13会被认为是不吉利的数字呢?
There were 13 people at the Last Supper。
最后的晚餐有13个人
It's said that Judas Iscariot and the one who betrayed Jesusthe death of a bunch of gods, a slew of natural disasters, and the eradication of everything on earth save for two human survivors.There's a lot more to the story than that, but you get the general idea。
洛基杀了其中一个神引发了一系列事件,最终导致世界毁灭:众神的死亡、自然灾害和地球上一切的消亡(仅幸存2名人类)。这个故事远没有这么简单,但你能差不多明白个大概。
Traditionally, there used to be 13 steps leading up the gallows。传统中通往绞刑台有13个阶梯。
There's also a legend that a hangman's noose traditionally contained 13 turns, but it's actually more like eight。
还有传说称刽子手的纹索上有13个曲纹,但实际上似乎是8个
猫有好几个爱称,譬如puss和kitty.Puss是来自荷兰语(Dutch)和德国南部(Low German)的方言,是模仿猫的呼噜声(imitative of the spitting noise of a cat)的拟声词.到16世纪时puss才成了猫的爱称.pussycat值得是”非常讨人喜欢的人”(a very amiable, likable person)
kitty来自中世纪的荷兰语(medieval Dutch),意思是“罐,容器”(jug or vessel)。
猫猫的万种风情
1. fat cat 肥猫,指“为竞选出钱的富翁;享有特权或谋取特权的人;有钱有势的人,大亨。”
2. cool cat 酷猫,指“时髦人(尤指嗜好冷爵士乐的人);嗜好摇滚乐的人;做出孤傲冷漠的样子的人”。
3. hepcat 迷恋爵士乐的猫,指“爵士(或摇摆舞)音乐迷;爵士(或摇摆舞)乐队乐师。
4. copy cat 好模仿的猫,指“盲目的模仿者(通常为儿童之间的用语)”。
5. hell cat 好发脾气的猫,指“泼妇,巫婆”。关于hell cat 是巫婆的说法要追溯到中世纪,那是迷信的人认为魔鬼撒旦(Satan,the Devil)常以黑猫的样子出现。巫婆抱着一只黑猫,骑着一把扫帚,在夜空游荡。所以,黑猫象征着“厄运”。“不要让黑猫从你面前走过”Don't let a black cat across your path是西方人众所周知的禁忌。
6. the scaredy-cat/ fraidy-cat 恐惧的猫,指“胆小鬼”。
莎士比亚在哈姆雷特里有一句台词:
Let Hercules himself do what he may, The cat will mew and dog will have his day.你知道是什么意思吗?
莎士比亚这句话的意思是说: 该发生的必然会发生,一切应顺其自然”(让大力士做他想做的,猫会叫狗也会笑。)
另外还有一个习语put the cat among the pigeons 这又是什么意思呢? 猫是食肉动物,不仅爱吃老鼠,还爱吃鱼,鸟之类的小生物,把猫放进鸽子群里无异于把狼关进羊群,势必要造成鸽子的极大恐慌。所以,put the cat among the pigeons 表示“惹出乱子,引起轩然大波”。
最后附上一首小诗,《雾》,你知道它和猫有什么关系吗?
Fog
The fog comes
on little feet
It sits looking
Over harbor and city
On silent haunches
And then moves on.—— Carl Sandburg

第五篇:趣味英语搜集研究性学习报告
研究性学习课题报告
随着英语的漫长发展,趣味英语由语法口语中演变而来。还有在各种以英语为母语的国家的地方方言融入了现代英语形成了趣味英语。而我们这次的课题,便是对趣味英语的收集。
这次的“趣味英语收集”的研究性学习,使得我们在课堂英语学习的基础上,进一步明确英语学习的目的,发展自主学习和合作学习的能力,形成有效的英语学习策略,并且丰富英语学习的兴趣。我们发现英语在我们身边无处不在,广布于电视、大街、广告牌、网络上,与我们息息相关。由趣味英语的收集所开展的各式活动使我们有机会通过联想、推理和归纳等思维发现趣味英语并带来无限乐趣。
同时在现有的收集资料与活动过程中,我们发现了英语教学上规律与不足。首先是中学英语的教学规律——现行的高中英语教学中语法知识多以直接描述的方法呈现,且同一知识点分散于几个单元,体现了循序渐进、高复现率中加深印象的教学方法。但是,接触时对学生的不求甚解便可的要求无疑加重了学生的机械记忆的负担,从而减弱学生学英语的兴趣。而这次研究性学习,除了锻炼我们的实践,探索能力以外,也使我们能根据已有的初步知识自己去总结英语学习方式从而培养兴趣。
兴趣对于自主学习来说十分重要。瑞士著名教育家皮亚杰说过“所有智力方面的活动都要依赖于兴趣,兴趣是人们力求认识某种事物或爱好某种活动并伴有积极情绪色彩的心理倾向。”浓厚的兴趣可以培养学生的求知欲,激发学生强大的学习动力,促使他们顽强拼搏,努力学习。根据我们的调查表明,随着年级的升高,学生的英语学习兴趣水平下降兴趣的丧失导致部分学生失去继续学习英语的动力,从而产生厌学的倾向。可见,在英语教学中,要想使学生学得积极主动,并取得好的学习效果,培养学生的兴趣至关重要,甚至可以说这是学习英语的前提和保证。那么,应如何激发学生学习英语的兴趣,充分调动学生学习英语的积极性呢?事实上,趣味英语对学生学习兴趣的激发,就有着重大意义。
例如一些特殊意义的用语:turkey farm,在这短语中Turkey是火鸡,farm是农场。
但是,turkey farm合在一起作为俗语却和农场毫无关系。那么,什么是turkey farm?——在每个政府机构或者私营公司里总会有一些工作能力低或者是不愿勤恳工作的人;但是,由于种种原因,领导又没有办法解雇这些人。为了使工作不受影响,这些机构的领导往往把这些人调到一个地方,就像打入冷宫一样。实际上也就是把他们养在那里,而这种地方就叫作——turkey farm。像这样的趣味含义无疑为单词的理解创造了条件,也为英语的学习提供了兴趣。
我们小组通过活动分析问题和解决问题,获得了经验还增强自信提高了能力。在满足自身的同时,更希望每个同学都能在学习英语知识,发展语言技能和提高语言实际运用能力的同时,促进英语学科与其它学科间的相互渗透和联系,使我思维能力、想象力、协作和创新精神等综合素质得到提高。我们相信只要细心发掘,从自己的学习兴趣出发,倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式,就能为我们独立学习留有空间和时间,总之,在高中英语教学中,本着研究性学习的特点,我们应多创设各种激发学习兴趣的活动,使同学们培养自身学英语的兴趣和自信心,在提高听、说、读、写能力的同时,养成自主学习的习惯和锻炼的思维,从而为成为二十一世纪的主人奠定基础。
