从“PK”到“VS”看英语文化
首先我们还是先来看一下PK在英语里面的几种意思：
把“PK”在网上百度或者google一下，会出来两种目前认为比较普遍的解释：
1、penalty kick的缩写：PK其实就是指足球中的点球大战，这一幕往往也是足球运动中最惊心动魄、决定胜负的时刻。
（注：penalty: n.处罚, 罚款; kick: v.踢 n.踢）
2、player killing的缩写：是一种打斗方式，引申为“单挑”，来源于网络游戏中玩家之间的对打，是一个电脑游戏中的专有名词。（也就是两个玩家决斗，单挑决出谁是胜者。是一种非常刺激的玩法，如果你不买某个人的帐，最出气的办法就是象剑客 一样向他发起挑战，并把他摞倒在台上。） (注：player:n.玩游戏的人, 比赛者; killing: n.v.杀害)
传说中“PK”的渊源：PK这个词从MUD时代就广为流传，玩网游的人不知道PK是什么意思简直是不可思议的。PK是Player Killing的缩写，指得是玩家与玩家间的较量，以一方生命（游戏中）的终结为直接目的所进行的对抗。国内外的网游玩家普遍达成共识,中国玩家喜欢 PK，可能与中国渊源久远的历史背景有关，在诸侯割据、战火纷飞的年代诞生出的英雄故事，总能流传百世，让后人回味无穷。网络游戏中恰恰能够提供一个相似的群雄崛起的大环境，让那些身在和平年代的玩家们过一把或英雄或枭雄的瘾。
从“PK”到“VS”：
关于PK，我在上面谈了很多，这让我联想到英语的另外一个很常用并且很实用的缩写词“VS”, 它与“PK”有着微妙的相同，但是又不能相替。
VS是versus的简写，versus是拉丁文，表示“相对照、相对立”的意思，它的同义词是Against（对抗）。VS这个词及其简写，后来被英文采用，又辗转流人了汉语之中。在英语中，VS是个介词，它有以下三种典型的用法。
l、体育报道中，表示谁跟谁进行比赛。例如：罗马VS国际米兰。
2、一般报道中，表示两个对立的事物。例如：国家安全VS个人自由。
3、法律文书中，表示谁跟谁发生了诉讼。例如：“布朗VS教育会议”案。
一般情况下，VS都可以翻译成“对”，比如可以说：“今晚的球赛是罗马对国际米兰。”但表示两种事物对立的时候，“对”往往无法传达“VS”所包含的“对抗，对立”的意思。有一部关于美国性书大亨的电影，名叫《人民VS拉里·弗林特》，我们翻译成《人民反对拉里·弗林特》，其实不尽准确。因为 VS只表示两者对立，并没有说明谁反对谁。当然，要是翻译成《人民对拉里·弗林特》，那就不知所云了。正因为“VS”没有一个确切的汉字与之对应，所以才原装进口过来。另外，即使在“VS”可以翻译成“对”的场合，人们也更喜欢用这两个字母。因为VS放在汉字中非常醒目，起到了分词的效果，从而给人们的阅读带来了方便。不信? 咱们回过头来分析 《体坛周报》的一则标题。“两门炮VS六条枪”比“两门炮对六条枪”看上去更清楚、明白。
“VS”进入汉语之后，只继承了英语中的前两种用法。除了“对”这个用法，另一种是在法律文件中，人们一般都把“VS”翻译成“与”。 汉语为什么要借用这个外来的字母组合? 我认为，有两个原因：第一，汉语一时找不到合适的词翻译它；第二，它有比汉字更直观的作用。
“VS”从球场到公堂，“对抗”的含义就成了“诉讼”，但在老外的眼里意思依旧，反正球场如公堂，公堂如球场，胜负难说，生死未卜，对抗（抗辩）双方总要你死我活一争雄雌，只不过球场上那你争我夺的肢体语言变成了公堂的舌枪唇剑罢了。“诉讼”一词中国老百姓更喜欢说“打官司”，所以在特定的司法场合，VS就是“打官司”，“打官司”就是VS，在海外的华文报刊上，有时出现《张三VS约翰》的大标题，华洋杂处的中文读者就知道是张三和约翰打官司了。现在国内有些时尚报刊把VS作为“遇上”以及“与”的意思，略显牵强，有时甚至有点荒腔走板，比如“成龙VS梅丽尔”，一看标题，我还以为是成龙“叫板”梅里尔，其实是两人在一起演戏罢了。有些编辑可能对VS的来龙去脉不是特别的清楚，进而“模糊使用”。但万一成龙先生认真起来，要与你VS——打官司的话，那可就吃不了兜着走了。^_^
汉语是一门鲜活的语言，兼容并蓄是其特长。既然WTO、CEO这些词都大摇大摆进入汉语殿堂，那么PK或者是VS，又有什么可怕的呢? 说到这里，相信大家对“PK”和“VS”已经有比较清晰和深入了了解了，至于两个词在用法中的微妙区别，大家可以自己在日常使用中慢慢体会，英语是一门对语感要求非常高的语言，如果你能感觉到一些看不明道不出的东西，那就真是太厉害了，值得恭喜！

One evening，in the midst of dinner preparation，our 10 yearold daughter asked，“Mom my， what's puberty？”My wife was rushed at the moment，so she suggested that Peggy look up the word in the dictionary，after which they could talk about it.
A few minutes later，Peggy returned.Her mother asked what the dictionary had said.“Puberty means，”announced Peggy，“the earliest age at which a girl is able to bear children.”
“What do you think of that？” my wife asked.
“I'm not sure，” Peggy replied.“I've always been able to bear children.It's adults I can't bear.”

【学习方法】高手背单词妙招
Rule No.1 不要背单词书
光是背单词的效果不大，容易忘记，而且有时候明明知道的单词，听的时候又不知道是哪了。很多人背单词都会拿一本单词书翻来覆去一遍一遍的背，结果大部分人都是背了后边忘了前边。
常规的单词书都是英语单词加汉语意思，非常枯燥，看看就困了。而且英语一共就26个字母，单词背背就糊涂了。不背单词书怎么办呢？根据我背单词的经验，可以在阅读中背单词。
Rule No.2 利用零散的时间背单词
印象中记忆力最好的时候是大一的时候每天起来背英语单词，那时真的很用功啊~
相信很多朋友都有过每天专门划一块时间出来背单词的经历。说实话，这样背一阵子自己会觉得生活特充实，但是收效如何就不一定了。而且现在的生活节奏都很快， 对一些已经工作或者课业繁重的朋友来说这种方法不太经济实惠。据说牛人们都有一个背单词的方法，就是小卡片，随身携带，没事就翻出来看两眼。等车啊，等电 梯啊，这些零散的时间都可以用来背单词。只要坚持不懈，效果一定好。
Rule No.3 分组记忆单词
不管平时是阅读中 还是听歌看电影，积累起来的词汇肯定不只一两个。这些单词如果从头背到尾那和背单词书没什么大区别。所以要分组。人的瞬时记忆是极其有限的，一次只能记忆 5-7个东西，所以单词也要分成5-7个一组，背一组，测试自己一组，背会了再背下一组。5-7个单词看似不多，只要坚持下来数量也是很可观的。著名英语 专家赖世雄老师都说过，学英语，少就是多。
Rule No.4 在遗忘临界点复习
大家可能都听过艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线。这条 曲线告诉我们遗忘是有规律的，遗忘的进程不是均衡的，在记忆的最初阶段遗忘的速度很快，后来就逐渐减慢了，到了相当长的时候后，几乎就不再遗忘了。所以说 及时复习那是相~当~重要的。大家一定要掌握好自己的遗忘临界点，我以前是第一天背过的单词，第二天复习，然后再开始背新的记得就比较牢的。
Rule No.5 结合语境记忆活学活用
自从四级考了第五次过去之后我才发现单纯的背单词毫无意义，要结合环境结合适当的情景才行。觉得词汇量再大，如果不会应用，也白搭，毕竟口语、写作和单词都不是一回事。词汇固然重要，灵活运用更为重要。单纯记忆效果一般。从大家发表的看法中我们也能看出大家普遍都认为单词背了要会用，不会用就不能说这个单词背会了。那么要怎么才能会用呢？首先，背的时候就要结合语境来背。结合语境最便捷的方法就是例句。体会在不同的句子中单词的不同含义。千万不能只背意思。然后，看完了例句顺便可以自己模仿着造个句子。这样用一下可以加深记忆。
Rule No.6 记单词也记发音
说下单词的记忆吧：我中学学英语的时候很少背单词，除非很特殊的单词拼写会用心 记下，说的是实在话。我由于中一的音标学的还算可以，每次学新的单词的时候注意对应的字母的音标发音，然后跟老师读正确的发音，这样不管是谁读的，只要你 熟悉单词的发音，dicitation绝对没有问题的。到了大学由于基本没有学英语，感觉能力明显下降，或许这就是我CET6一直没有过的一个方面的原因 吧。
我也是喜欢根据音标记单词的。不知道有多少人和我一样，上学的时候，即使老师照本宣科，听老师讲一遍和自己看书的效果也绝对不同，这是因为单纯的形象的效果是不同的。另外英语本身也是一种拼音语言，只要掌握音标的对应规律，的确应该会读就会写的。所以背单词会写了之后一定记得自己多读几遍。一个是加深记忆，另外也是锻炼自己的语感，单词读准了才谈得上口语。

【美文欣赏】地震中的父与子
No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!
In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.
In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake. After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to direct his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.
As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: "My son!" "My daughter!" Other well meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: "It's too late! They are all dead! You can't help! Go home! Come on, face reality, there's nothing you can do!"
To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school's ruins saying, "Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You're in danger. We'll take care of it. Go home." To which this loving, caring American father asked, "Are you going to help me now?"
The police came and said, "You're angry, anxious and it's over. You're endangering others. Go home. We'll handle it!" To which he replied, "Are you going to help me now?" No one helped.
Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead?" He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice. He screamed his son's name, "ARMAND!" He heard back, "Dad!?! It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you! You did it, Dad!"
"What's going on in there? How is it?" the father asked.
"There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle, and it saved us."
"Come out, boy!"
"No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, 'cause I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!"
【中文译文】：
不管发生什么，我永远都会在你的身边！
1989年，一次8.2级的地震几乎铲平美国，在短短不到4分钟的时间里，夺去了3万多人的生命！
在彻底的破坏与混乱之中，有位父亲将他的妻子在家里安顿好后，跑到他儿子就读的学校，而触目所见，却是被夷为平地的校园。看到这令人伤心的一幕，他想起了曾经对儿子所作的承诺："不论发生什么事，我都会在你身边。"至此，父亲热泪满眶。目睹曾经的学校成为了一堆瓦砾，真叫人绝望。但父亲的脑中仍然牢记着他对儿子的诺言。
他开始努力回忆每天早上送儿子上学的必经之路，终于记起儿子的教室应该就在那幢建筑物后面，位于右边的角落里，他跑到那儿，开始在碎石砾中挖掘，搜寻儿子的下落。
当这位父亲正在挖掘时，其他束手无策的学生家长赶到现场，揪心地叫着："我的儿子呀！" "我的女儿呀！"一些好意的家长试图把这位父亲劝离现场，告诉他" 一切都太迟了！"他们全死了！"这样做没用的"，"回去吧，这样做只会使事情更糟"。面对种种劝告，这位父亲的回答只有一句话："你们愿意帮我吗？"然后继续进行挖掘工作，在废墟中寻找他的儿子。
消防队长出现了，他也试图把这位父亲劝走，对他说："火灾频现，四处都在发生爆炸，你在这里太危险了，这边的事我们会处理，你回家吧！"对此，这位慈爱、关切的父亲仍然回答："你们要帮我吗？"
警察赶到现场，对他说："你现在又气又急，该结束了，你在危及他人，回家吧！我们会处理一切的。"这位父亲依旧回答："你们愿意帮我吗？" 然而，人们无动于衷。
为了弄清楚儿子是死是活，这位父亲独自一人鼓起勇气，继续进行他的工作。他挖掘了8小时，--12小时，24小时，36小时--38小时后，父亲推开了一块巨大的石头，听到了儿子的声音。父亲尖叫着："阿曼德！"儿子的回音听到了："爸爸吗？是我，爸，我告诉其他的小朋友不要着急。我告诉他们如果你活着，你会来救我的。如果我获救了，他们也就获救了。你答应过我， 不论发生什么，我永远都会在你的身边，你做到了，爸！"
"你那里的情况怎样？"父亲问。
"我们有33个，只有14个活着。爸，我们好害怕，又渴又饿，谢天谢地，你在这儿。教室倒塌时，刚好形成一个三角形的洞，救了我们。"
"快出来吧！儿子！"
"不，爸，让其他小朋友先出来吧！因为我知道你会接我的！不管发生什么事，我知道你永远都会来到我的身边！"

10大损招让同事对你生厌
上个月未到月末流量突然就不够了，所以导致博客访问不了了，对大家说声抱歉，我们将尽力加强监控，避免此类事情。。。
Do you want to know how to make your coworkers hate you? Follow this advice. These are surefire ways to ensure your coworkers will look forward to the day you are gone. Avoid these behaviors if you want to help create harmony in your workplace.
你想让你的同事讨厌你吗？那就照着我们的建议做吧。这样的话你同事一定都会期盼着你走的那一天。如果想和同事相处融洽的话就要避免做这些事情了。
1.Talk Loudly on Your Cell Phone ... Especially in the Bathroom
大声的讲电话，特别是在卫生间里
Your co-workers don't want to listen to your cell phone conversations. They are not as entertaining to anyone as they are to you. More importantly, they don't want to hear you talk on your phone while you are in the bathroom. It makes them uncomfortable.
你的同事并不想听你讲电话。电话里的内容对你来说是种乐趣，对他们来说却不是。更重要的是，他们不想听你在卫生间讲电话，这会让他们很不舒服。
2.Take Credit for Your Co-Workers' Contributions to a Project
将你同事对一个项目的贡献全部归功于自己
When your boss congratulates you on a job well done, don't mention that you had a lot of help. Why does she need to know anyway? Better to look like you did it all on your own. And, when you need some help on the next project, where do you think your co-workers will be? Not on your team.
当你的上司赞扬你某项工作做得很好时，不要告诉他在完成工作途中你得到了不少帮助。总之他为什么要知道这些呢？最好看上去是你一个人完成这项工作的。这样，下次你工作中需要帮助时，你认为你的同事还会帮你吗？不会的。
3.Come to Work Sick
带病工作
If you have a cold or a stomach virus, spread it around. Your co-workers will thank you. On second thought, no they won't. Well, hopefully they'll have the decencyto call in sick and stop spreading the illness further.
如果你感冒了或者得了肠炎，那就赶紧四处传播病毒吧。你的同事会感激你的。仔细想想，不，他们不会感激你的。那么，希望他们会礼貌的要求停止疾病的传播吧。
4.Share Everything With Your Co-Workers
和你的同事分享一切
Your co-workers are a curious bunchso it is in their best interests if you tell them everything about your personal life — even if, no make that especially if, it makes them uncomfortable. Your motto should be "too much information is never enough."
你的同事时一堆特别好奇的人，所以如果你告诉他们你的一切私生活的话，他们会特别感兴趣，即使（尽量忽略这个即使吧）这样做会让他们感到不舒服。你的名言应该是“再多的信息也是远远不够的。”
5.Talk to Your Co-Workers About Religion and Politics
和你的同事谈宗教和政治的问题
Ah, religion and politics ... two topics about which everyone is in total agreement. Well, not exactly. Your co-workers may be very sensitive about these topics so if you want to offend them in a hurry, make sure they know why your beliefs are the only right ones.
啊…..宗教和政治，几乎是每个人都完全认同的两个话题。其实不是的。你同事可能对这类型的话题比较敏感，所以如果你想轻易地得罪他们的话，确保他们知道你的信仰才是唯一正确的。
6.Tell Your Co-Workers Dirty Jokes
和你同事讲黄色笑话
Everyone appreciates a good joke, right? That may be true, but while most people appreciate a good joke, many are put off by dirty jokes. It's not your problem so keep telling those jokes, but don't be surprised if you find yourself accused of sexual harassmentone day.
任何人都喜欢好的笑话，是吗？也许是真的，但是正如大部分人都喜欢好笑话，也有很多人抵制黄色笑话。不停的讲黄色笑话并不是你的错误，但是如果有一天你被指责为性骚扰也不要觉得奇怪。
7.Spam Your Co-Workers
发垃圾邮件骚扰你的同事
Forward tons of email to all your co-workers. The content doesn't matter. Send it all — chain letters, jokes, and petitions. They'll be thinking of you as they keep hitting that delete button.
发一大堆邮件给你同事。内容不重要。把他们都发出去吧——不管是连锁信，笑话，还是诉状等。当他们不停的按删除键的时候，他们一定会想起你的。
8.Chew Your Gum Loudly
大声的嚼口香糖。
Nothing sounds as yummy as the noise made by someone cracking their chewing gum and smacking their lips. It may drive your co-workers crazy, but isn't that what you're trying to do?
没有什么比大声的嚼口香糖，并发出吧嗒吧嗒响声听起来更美味了。这能把你同事逼疯，但这不正是你想做的吗？
9.Don't Carry Your Own Weight
不做完自己份内的工作
If you don't do your fair share of the work required by your department, your co-workers will have to pick up the slack. They'll be so exhausted from doing all the work, they won't be able to thank you.
如果你不能完成部门分配给你的任务，那么你的同事就需要额外帮你做完你的任务。他们会因为做完所有的工作而劳累不已，当然他们也不会感谢你。
10.Talk Down to Your Co-Workers
居高临下的和你同事讲话
You may think talking down to your co-workers will build you up, but a condescendingattitude will not make you appear stronger. It will, however, make your co-workers resent you.
你也许认为居高临下的和同事讲话可以建立你的威信，但是高傲的态度并不会让你看起来更强，反而会让你的同事憎恨你。

草根意见：英语学习的五大精华汇总
1、心理素质影响学习效果
首先，要对外语保持长时间稳定而积极的态度。这可以归结为“恒心”两个字。有了它，才能像蚕吃桑叶一样，一口又一口，坚持不懈地去啃，直到预定目标顺利攻克。
其次，还需要一定的自律能力。该复习时不复习，遗忘规律就会无情地吞噬着你的一部分记忆成果；该补漏时不补漏，漏洞就会不断积累扩大。所以需要有自律能力，约束自己按科学原则去运转。
2、看写读听背——多管齐下效率高
一般来说，大家学英语都有各自的一套办法：有的只爱大声读个不停，有的只爱闷头看个不休，有的不写就记不住，有的不听心里就没有底。这些方法，虽然都有一定的作用，但记忆科学通过大量的实验，无可辩驳地证明：眼手口舌脑的综合运用，才能更快更深地在大脑皮层上留下不易磨灭的印象。
学外语尤其需要多种感官的综合运用。否则，搞不好学成“残疾外语”，或一听就发慌两耳一抹黑的“聋子外语”。
3、“活”单词与“死”单词
经常听说某某发下宏愿：要一口气背下一本几千甚至几万词的字典，认为这样可以一劳永逸地解决单词量的问题。不幸的是，这样做的人，大部分都失败了。背了若干遍的单词，仍很难在脑子里生根，不是很快忘掉，就是搅成一团乱麻。
因为他们背的都是脱离了句子和课文的“死”单词，大脑对这类东西格外难以留下印象。著名的心理学家艾宾浩斯曾拿自己做过对比实验，结果：记住 18个有意义的音节，只需要9遍，而记住18个无意义的音节，却用了80遍。不仅如此，孤立地背“死”词，还难以掌握它在句子中的灵活用法。因此，即使记住了一部分“死”词，它们也多属“残障人士”罢了。
如何使单词“起死回生”呢？我的办法是——背句子！
句子不局限于教科书，也可以是讲演稿，新闻评论，散文中的句子······总之，就是能把一个个冰冷的单词变成生机勃勃的有感情的句子。背了，再对家人、对朋友、对同事说出来。在大量的背诵与“卖弄”中，多次的重复不断激活记忆的单词，其用法自然而然就深入骨髓了。实际上，这种“深入骨髓”就形成了学语言最重要的“语感”！
4、复习间隔合理，可以省时高效
英语是一门记忆量很大的学科，有效的记忆就成了一个关键。著名科学家茅以升先生，是个记忆力超群的人。人们问到他的记忆秘诀，他的回答是：重复！重复！再重复！重复被人们称为学习之母。不重复，记住的知识就会在遗忘率的支配下，不多久就只剩下一点儿“残汤剩饭”。心理学家发现：两次复习的时间间隔至少应大于是30分钟，但应小于是16小时。因为，在已经记清了一批单词的情况下，如果在职30分钟内就开始复习，不仅不能提高记忆的效果，反而会对大脑巩固原有的记忆内容的生理过程形成干扰，是弊大于利；而且16小时以后再复习，被遗忘的单词就比较多，白花了精力。
5、把英语作为一门文化来学
正如不懂中国文化就不能理解“中庸之道”、“墨守成规”一样，缺乏西方文化常识就难以理解什么叫“This is my Waterloo!”(“这是我的滑铁卢！”指一次失败。)
因此，要想把英语学深学透，必须把英语不仅仅作为语言，而且作为文化去感悟！而这，在我看来，也许是英语学习最有魅力的地方。

【美文欣赏】生活中的“砖头”
The Bricks of Life
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street， going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.
As his car passed， one child appeared， and a brick smashed into the Jag's side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.
He jumped out of the car， grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam， he went on"That's a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
“Please， mister， please， I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!”pleaded the youngster.
"It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.
Sobbing， the boy asked the executive， "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words， the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts， checking to see that everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you， sir. And God bless you，" the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long， slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.
Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes， when you don't have the time to listen... Life throws a brick at your head.
It's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!
Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy leaving them to wonder whether you really love them?
【中文译文】：
一位年轻的总裁，以有点快的车速，开着他的新Jaguar经过住宅区的巷道。
他必须小心游戏中的孩子突然跑到路中央，所以当他觉得小孩子快跑出来时，就要减慢车速。
就在他的车经过一群小朋友的时候，一个小朋友丢了一块砖头打到了他的车门，他很生气的踩了煞车并后退到砖头丢出来的地方。
他跳出车外，抓了那个小孩，把他顶在车门上说：「你为什么这样做，你知道你刚刚做了什么吗？
接着又吼道：「你知不知道你要赔多少钱来修理这台新车，你到底为什么要这样做？」
小孩子求着说：「先生，对不起，我不知道我还能怎么办？」
他接着说：「因为我哥哥从轮椅上掉下来，我没办法把他抬回去。」
那男孩啜泣着说：「你可以帮我把他抬回去吗？他受伤了，而且他太重了我抱不动。」
这些话让这位年轻的总裁深受感动，他抱起男孩受伤的哥哥，帮他坐回轮椅上。
并拿出手帕擦拭他哥哥的伤口，以确定他哥哥没有什么大问题。
那个小男孩感激地说：[谢谢你，先生，上帝保佑你。]，然后他看着男孩推着他哥哥回去。
年轻总裁返回Jaguar的路变的很漫长，他也没有修他汽车的侧门。他保留着车上的凹痕就是提醒自己
生活的道路不要走的太匆忙，否则需要其他人敲打自己来注意生活的真谛。
当生命想与你的心灵窃窃私语时，若你没有时间，你有两种选择：倾听你心灵的声音或让砖头来砸你！
请问你是否曾因为生活太快、太忙碌而忽略了你所爱的人，然后让他们开始开始怀疑起你是不是真的爱他们呢？
A father said to his sons: "Tomorrow your mother is going to bake a pie.Who is going to eat it?"
The oldest son replied: "Father, I'll eat it all!"
The father then said: "Tomorrow I'm going to butcher a pig. Who is going to eat it?"
The same son answered: "Father,I'll eat it all!"
The father added: "Tomorrow, we are going to plough the field. Who is going to plough?"
The oldest son answered again: "It's always me, always me. Now it's someone else's turn to volunteer!"

Three famous surgeons were bragging about their skills. "A man came to me who had his hand cut off," said one. "Today that man is a concert violinist."
"That's nothing," said another. "A guy came to me who had his legs cut off. I stitched them back on, and today that man is a marathon runner."
"I can top both of you," said the third. "One day I came on the scene of a terrible accident. There was nothing left but a horse's posterior - and a pair of glasses. Today that man is seated in United States Senate."
【商务英语】面试穿着八大注意事项
A big job interview is coming up and you are feeling very confident. You have anticipated the questions they might ask and have prepared some great answers. Fresh copies of your resume are sitting in your backpack. Wait a minute. Did you say backpack? Are you really going to walk into a job interview carrying a backpack? Next thing you'll say is that you're planning to wear jeans and a t-shirt. Uh-oh. You better ask yourself these questions before you get dressed。
你自信满满的准备去参加一场大的工作面试。你已经为面试官可能会问到的问题准备了充分的答案。你的背包里装好了几份最新的简历。等等，你刚刚说的是背包？你真的打算背着背包去参加面试么？接下来你是不是说你打算穿牛仔裤和衬衣呢？啊哦，你换衣服之前最好先问问自己这些问题：
What should I wear?
我应该如何着装？
Generally, it's a good idea to wear a suit for a job interview. Go with something simple, in a neutral tone. The more conservative your field is, the more conservative your suit should be. For example, if you're applying for a job in an investment firm, go with a navy blue or dark gray suit。
通常情况下，穿西装去面试是个不错的主意。应该选择简单，中性的西装。并且你求职的领域越是保守，你的着装也要相应的越保守。例如，如果你要在一家投资公司找工作，那就穿深蓝或者深灰色的西装去面试。
What if my interview is for a job in a more casual setting?
如果我的面试的是一份很随意的工作岗位呢？
It's a good idea to match your interview attire to the prospective job. If you are applying for a job working on a warehouse floor, you will look out of place wearing a formal suit. Keeping that in mind, dress a little better than you would for a day at work and make sure your clothes are neat and clean。
面试着装应该适合即将从事的工作。如果你要去应聘一份在仓库楼的工作，那么穿一套正式的西装就不合适了。记住，穿得比你日常工作好一点的衣服去面试，并且要确保衣服干净整洁。
My interview is for a job in an accounting firm. Traditionally this field is conservative, but this particular firm may be a little more casual. How should I dress?
我要应聘的是一家会计师事务所。传统来说，会记师职业都是很保守的。但是这家公司可能比较开放，我应该如何着装呢？
You can't go wrong in a suit, but if you want to give more of an impression of "fitting in" then you need to find out how people actually dress for work at that firm. One way to do this is to observe people arriving for work. Choose any day other than a Friday, which is when some companies allow more casual dress. Again, follow the rule of dressing better for the interview than you would for a typical day at the office。
穿西装去面试永远是没错的。但是如果你想给别人的印象是你很容易融入他们，那你就要先打探好该公司的人一般是如何着装了。方法之一是在星期五之外的任何一个工作日去观察该公司的职员上班穿什么样的衣服，因为星期五很多公司都允许随意着装，所以那天是看不出穿衣风格的。
Do I have to buy a new suit?
我需要买一套新的西装吗？
As long as your suit is in good condition and not outdated, you don't have to buy a new one. If you do decide to purchase a new suit, buy the best one you can afford and make sure you don't get anything too trendy. You want your investment to last。
只要你的西装状况良好，并且没过时，那你就没必要重新去买了。而一旦你决定重新买套西装，那就在你承受能力范围之内买一套最好的，但是不要买太新潮的。因为你的投资是计划持续长久的。
What shoes should I wear?
我应该穿什么样的鞋？
In all instances, wear closed-toe shoes. Sandals are never appropriate for a job interview, unless you are applying for a job as a lifeguard. Black shoes match everything (yes, even your navy blue suit). Stick with a conservative style. Women should not wear very high heels。
任何情况下都穿封闭式的鞋子。除非你应聘的是救生员的工作，否则凉鞋是不合适的。黑色的鞋子很百搭(是的，即使你穿深蓝色的西装也是相配的)。坚持保守派的风格。女人不应该穿太高跟的鞋子。
Must I buy new shoes?
我需要买新鞋吗？
No. Shoes you've already worn are fine, unless they are in bad condition or out of style. A little shoe polish may be in order here.
不需要，只要鞋子没坏或过时，那穿你已有的鞋子就好了。将你的旧鞋擦上一点鞋油就好了。
What about my nails?
我的指甲呢？
Your nails should be clean. A man's nails should be kept short and a woman's nails shouldn't be excessively long and should be bare or polished in a neutral color。
你的指甲应该干干净净的。男人的指甲应该剪短，而女人的指甲不应该太长，如果要涂指甲油，涂个淡色调吧。
I love wearing jewelry. Can I wear it for the interview?
我喜欢戴珍珠项链，我面试时可以戴着吗？
Modest jewelry is fine, but don't wear large earrings or a thick chain。
适当的珠宝是可以的，但是不要佩戴超大的耳环或者厚厚的项链。
What about makeup? How much is okay?
化妆呢？什么程度最好？
Don't paint on the makeup. Keep it simple and use neutral colors。
不要浓妆艳抹。淡妆就可以了。
What should I carry with me -- a purse, a briefcase, a backpack?
我应该带钱包，公文包，还是背包？
By all means, leave the backpack at home. You want to look professional, not like you're taking a stroll across campus. A woman can carry a small to medium sized handbag. A man or woman can carry a briefcase if he or she wishes, or a folder or portfolio。
请务必将背包留在家里。你是想要看起来专业，而不是在校园内漫步。女人可以带着小到中等大小等的手提包。只要愿意，男人或者女人都可以带着公文包或者文件夹。

神奇九步让你的英语变流利
* 把自己融入
语言这个东西，速成很难，除非你用这种语言来思考。也许我们都有这种经历，当你要说英语的时候，口里象塞了一团棉花，没词儿。为什么呢？那是因为我们平时生活中就不用英语来思考，所以脑子里的第一反应就会是你的母语，而不是英语。很好的解决办法是，把你自己孤立出原本的语言环境，比如到国外读书，去国外工作，其实工作经历有时候比学校更有用，因为你真正把你的语言用到了实处。还有很重要的一点就是培养自己的兴趣，渗透到西方英语文化中去，只有把自己融入他们的政治，媒体，音乐，你才能进入他们的圈子。
* 把翻译忘了：像个婴儿般思考
婴儿是如何学习语言的呢？我们都知道，婴儿是世界上最聪明的语言天才。他们通过模仿，重复发音，就能轻松学会一门语言。
千万不要羞涩，千万不要为你蹩脚的发音难以启齿，很多时候，别人纠正你的发音，对你是很有帮助的，有学术报告指出一个害羞的人和一个不害羞的人学习语言的速度是不一样的。不害羞的人往往学的较快。千万要控制住把一切看到的，听到的都翻译成自己的母语，其实任何一种翻译都无法达到100%准确，表达原本的含义。你可以充分利用身边的环境，例如去西餐厅，你不用把你预先准备好的词句说给服务员听，你可以坐下来静静的观察周围的人如何点菜。当他们说话的时候，注意他们的面部表情。模仿他们的语句和发音，不管你听的懂，还是听不懂，最终你会发现你自己在恰当的场合里使用这些发音/句子。看，用英文思考一点儿也不难哦。
* 你怎么说。。。？
在这个年代里，大街小巷里，外国人一抓一大吧，记得把握机会和老外多交流。谈些你感兴趣的话题，多问几个" How do you say/ What is that called?", 很多老外还是很友善的。
* 写下来
在和老外交流的过程中，写下你不懂的地方。记笔记总是没错的。
字典是你永远的好朋友，不懂的单词就查字典，不过千万不要用电子字典哦。
记得在国外读法语的时候，老师就让我们把stickynotes充分利用起来，你可以自己做一个很漂亮的备忘录，把sticky notes头上穿个洞，用个钥匙环穿起来。坐公车的时候，无聊的时候，随时翻出来看看。
* 英文电视，电影，音乐
之前就说了，电视，电影，音乐中就可以发现西方的英语文化。以前，我记得老师问过我们一个问题，你可以教文化么？我们当时想啊，文化怎么教，又不是一个实际的物体。文化是可以教的，通过电影，电视，你就可以学习到文化。但是，注意，你永远无法和电视交流，所以与别人交谈还是很重要的。我老师说过学语言就是一个简单的过程：有母语字幕－有英文字幕－无字幕。什么时候你可以摆脱字幕了，你的语言功底就到家了。
* 肢体语言
大家都知道，老外的肢体语言很多。我自己就有很深的体会。别人看我，我说英语的时候和说汉语的时候，完全是2个人。我说英语，更多的时候带上肢体语言，例如摊个手啊，歪个头等等。
* 冲动一些
如果你去旅行的话，你可以尽可能多的和司机攀谈，国外的司机都超级健谈。不要怕说错，要大胆的说，尽情的说，尴尬的时候给你的印象更为深刻呢。
* 朋友/单独
你可以利用现代方式，在各种聊天室里交到国外的朋友。当然，国外的人可能会因为你英语差，而敷衍你几句，就不踩你了。你也别灰心。并不是只有外国人能帮助你学习。找一个志同道合的人，组成小组学习。正所谓，三个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮。你还可以从朋友犯的错误里吸取经验。
* 旅行前后抓住任何机会练习
学习一门语言就是要多多练习。语言是活的，需要你经常使用。就拿我自己举例吧。我出国这几年，就感觉自己中文退步很多，有时候脑子里第一个蹦出的不是中文单词，而是英文单词，所以你也不难理解，为什么国外回来的人时不时的给你蹦出个英文单词作秀，其实那是自然而然的。
你可以自己找个笔友，互相传递e-mail, 当然e-mail这种写作方式是很不正规的，但学习语言，就是要从小处着手，你可以随时随地写个shopping list, 在chat room跟人聊天，在你感兴趣的论坛发言。很多很多方式，只要你愿意。

Two Frogs lived together in a marsh. But one hot summer the marsh(沼泽) dried up, and they left it to look for another place to live in: for frogs like damp places if they can get them.
By and by they came to a deep well, and one of them looked down into it, and said to the other, "This looks a nice cool place. Let us jump in and settle here."
But the other, who had a wiser head on his shoulders, replied, "Not so fast, my friend. Supposing this well dried up like the marsh, how should we get out again?"

原来很大的道理不一定需要很难的语言去解释，本文简单地一问一答告诉我们，当身边的人离去时，他们其实活在我们的心里；告诉我们，生命原本是一个无所谓开始更无所谓结束的圆圈；告诉我们，每一段生命的结束都意味着新生命的开始。只要心中还有爱，有思念，我们就可以笑对生死，珍惜人生。——题记
The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat’s days were numbered.The doctor had said there wasn’t anything more that could be done,that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.
The man stroked the Cat on his lap and sighed.The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear rolled down the Man’s cheek and landed on the Cat’s forehead.The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
“Why do you cry, Man？”the Cat asded.“Because you can’t bear the thought of losing me？ Because you think you can never replace me？”The Man nodded “yes.”
“And where do you think I’ll be when I leave you？”the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. “Close your eyes, Man,” the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
“What color are my eyes and fur？” the Cat asked. “Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown,” the Man replied.
“And where is it that you most often see me？”asked the Cat. “I see you…on the kitchen windowsill watching the birds…on my favorite chair…on my desk lying on the papers I need…on the pillow next to my head at night.” “Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes,” said the Cat.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy.’” The Man opened his eyes, then reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
“The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The Man complied.
“You have made a continuous circle,” said the cat.“Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string？” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head “no.”
“Close your eyes again,” the Cat said.“Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise.
“Just do it,” the Cat said.“Lick your hand,think of me in all my familiar places, think about all the pieces of string.”
The Man felt foolish, licking his hand, but he did as he was told. He discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop,and when he didn’t, he opened his eyes. The Cat’s eyes were closed.The Man stroked the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the windowsill, then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and through his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held clutched in his hand.
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was a lovely calico and white…very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.
【中文译文】：
男人非常伤心。他知道猫余下的日子不多了。医生说已经没得治了，他只能把猫带回家，并尽可能地让他在剩下的时间里过得舒服些。
男人把猫放在腿上，叹了口气。猫睁开眼睛，呼噜呼噜地叫着，抬眼看了看男人。一滴眼泪从男人的脸颊边滑落，落在了猫的额头上。猫有点不高兴地看了他一眼。
“你哭个什么啊，伙计？”猫问道，“因为你无法承受将要失去我的念头？因为你认为永远都没有什么能代替我？”男人点了点头。“是啊。”
“那么你认为我离开你以后，会到什么地方去了呢？”猫问道。男人无望地耸了耸肩。“闭上眼睛吧，伙计，”猫说。男人疑惑地看了他一眼，但还是听话地闭上了眼睛。
“我的眼睛和毛皮是什么颜色的？”猫问。“你的眼睛是金色的，你的毛皮是浓郁而温暖的褐色的。”男人回答道。
“那你最常在什么地方见到我呢？”猫问。“我经常见到你……在厨房地窗台上看鸟……在我最喜欢的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我脑袋边的枕头上。”“那么，无论什么时候你想见我，你只要闭上你的眼睛就可以了。”猫说。
“把地上的那段绳子捡起来——那里，我的‘玩具’。”男人睁开眼睛，伸手捡起了绳子。绳子大约有两英尺（约0.6米）长，猫曾经能够玩着绳子自娱自乐一玩就是几个小时。“现在用两只手捏住绳子的两端。”猫命令道。男人照做了。
“你左手捏着的那端就是我的出生，而右手的那端就是我的死亡。现在把两端连在一起。”猫说道。男人又照做了。
“你做出了一个连贯的圆圈，”猫说，“这个绳子上的任意一点同其他点有什么不同吗？比绳子的其他部分更好或者更差吗？”男人审视着那根绳子，然后摇了摇头。“没有。”
“再次闭上你的眼睛，”猫说，“现在舔舔你的手。”男人惊讶地睁大了眼睛。
“照我说的做吧，”猫说。“舔舔你的手，想想我在所有我熟悉的地方，想想所有的绳子。”
要舔自己的手，男人觉得很蠢，不过他还是照做了。他发现了猫所知道的秘密——舔爪子能让你平静下来，并让你能够思考得更加清楚。他继续舔着，他的嘴角开始上翘，好多天来第一次露出了微笑。他等待着猫叫停，可是没等到，于是他睁开了眼睛。猫的眼睛已经闭上了。他摸了摸猫温暖的褐色皮毛，可是猫已经去了。
男人用力地闭上了眼睛，泪如泉涌。他看到猫蹲在窗台上，然后是他的床上，然后躺在他的重要文件上。他看到猫在他脑袋边的枕头上，看到他明亮的金黄色的眼睛还有鼻子和耳朵上深褐色的毛发。他睁开眼睛，透过泪水看向他依然捏在手里的绳圈。
不久以后的某一天，他的膝上有了一只新的猫咪。她是一只可爱的白色花斑猫——与之前那只他深爱的猫是那么的不同，然而又是那么的相同。
Man: "I'd like to call you. What's your number?"
Woman: "It's in the phone book."
Man: "But I don't know your name."
Woman: "That's in the phone book too."

七条妙计助你度过职场“危险期”
One of the keys to a successful career is making the right decisions at critical junctures, whether you're fielding a job offer, asking for a promotion or plotting your next move。
成功的职业至关重要的一点是在关键时刻做出正确的抉择，这种关键时刻也许是你在求职，晋升或者是策划你的下一步行动。
Beyond those major decisions, every day presents myriad, small opportunities to make good -- and bad -- choices that could have a big impact。
除了这些重大决定之外，每天都要做出无数个好的或者坏的影响深远的小决定。
In an uncertain economy, knowing how to proceed at these junctures becomes even more critical, according to Arizona-based business and workplace consultants Jamie and Maren Showkeir, co-authors of "Authentic Conversations."
Jamie 和 Maren Showkeir是位于亚利桑那州的商业和工作咨询顾问，他们在两人合著的《真实的对话》一书中提出，在这个不稳定的经济体系中，明白怎样渡过工作中的重大转折点尤为重要。
Here are seven tactics to help keep your career on track。
以下7点策略可保证你的职业轨道正常运转
1.Don't play the blame game。别责怪他人
It's better to acknowledge your role in the company's problems -- and contribute to their solutions -- than to blame management or your coworkers。
当公司出现问题时，意识到你的责任，并努力去解决问题，比起责备管理层或者同事更加有效。
"Once you see yourself as being in control of your future, you can change the conversation with your coworkers, by saying, 'We need to do our best to make this business work, or we'll be in even deeper trouble,'" Maren Showkeir says。
Maren Showkeir 说：“一旦你意识到自己掌控着自己的未来，你就可以改变与同事说话的方式，你可以这样说‘我们需要尽最大的努力去将这个问题解决好，否则就会有更大的麻烦。’”
2.Skip the gossip and get down to work。停止闲聊，认真工作
Send a message to coworkers about priorities by concentrating on the tasks at hand, instead of spreading speculative information。
向你的同事传达这样的信息，你的优先事项是努力做好手头上的工作，而非四处传播小道消息。
"If you're spending time speculating on what may happen next, it's counterproductive," Maren Showkeir says。
Maren Showkeir声称：“如果你把时间浪费在在揣测接下来会发生什么事情上，只会适得其反。”
3.Get the real story。得到真实的信息
Avoid unnecessary anxiety by approaching a trusted colleague to find out the real bottom line with your company。
避免因为通过一个信任的同事而探知到公司的真实底线而焦虑不安。
"It's easy to get caught up in the what-ifs," Maren Showkeir says. "My advice is to go find out what your manager or boss knows, and figure out how to prepare for the future."
“人们很容易陷入假想中”。Maren Showkeir说。“我的建议是找出你的经理或者老板所想的，并且为未来做好准备。”
4.Don't play the victim。不要当受害者
Identifying problems within your company won't get you anywhere, unless you follow through with strategic solutions。
在公司内部承认错误并不会让你怎么样，除非你犯的是决策性的错误。
"Being a part of an organization means having information, making sense of it, and acting on it," Jamie Showkeir says。
Jamie Showkeir声称作为一个公司的一员就意味着收集信息，使其有意义，并作出相对应的行动。
5.Think big picture。构思伟大的蓝图
Collaboration is more important than ever during difficult times, so it's wise to put aside any rivalries for the sake of your company's future。
在困难时期合作更加重要，所以为公司的未来着想，明智的做法是抛开任何公开对抗。
"If you're working together, you have the power of many minds to get things done," Maren Showkeir says. "Collaborations can be a really powerful way to both strengthen the business for when it improves again and to not feel so alone and overwhelmed by all the work staring you in the face."
“合作可以集思广益的解决问题。” Maren Showkeir 说。“并且，合作是一种非常行之有效的方法，它可以完善业务，同时还可以让你在工作缠身之时不会感到孤独和被工作压垮。”
6.Be a listener, not a talker。当一个倾听者而不是一个喋喋不休的人
Remember that what's left unspoken during a meeting is just as important as what's on the agenda。
记住，在开会时，没有提出来的事宜和被摆上议事日程上的同样重要。
"If we don't discuss concerns and fears, we're missing two-thirds of what's relevant to a project's success," Jamie Showkeir says。
Jamie Showkeir说：“如果我们不讨论关心和恐惧的事情，那我们就失去了能让项目成功的三分之二的部分。”
7.You gotta have hope。你必须要有希望
In the workplace, misery doesn't really love company, so try to focus on the possibility of better times ahead。
职场上不需要同病相怜，所以试着关注可能的更美好的未来吧。
"Would you rather place your bet on the future by engaging in hope and optimism, or be pulled kicking and dragging into it?" Jamie Showkeir says. "How we answer that question ultimately drives our behavior and our success in how we engage others."
“你对未来的投注是满怀希望、乐观地与他人相处，还是退缩和拖拖拉拉呢？” Jamie Showkeir问道。“我们对这个问题的回答将最终决定我们的行为以及我们如何成功的与他人相处。”

Miles sometime went to the barber's during working hours to have his hair cut. But this was against the office rules: clerks had to have their hair cut in their own time. While Miles was at the barber's one day, the manager of the office came in by chance to have his own hair cut and sat just beside him.
"Hello, Miles," the manager said. "I see that you are having your hair cut in office time."
"Yes, sir, I am," admitted Miles calmly. "You see, sir, it grows in office time."
"Not all of it," said the manager at once. "Some of it grows in your own time."
"Yes, sir, that's quite true." Answered Miles politely, "but I'm not having it all cut off."
洋品牌来到中国的“雷人”译名
某些外国品牌登陆中国后一直没有官方的中文译名，所以勤劳智慧的中国人就用自己的方式称呼起这些品牌了。一起来看看这些搞笑可爱的诨名吧。
Windows XP
当年XP系统刚出来的时候，老百姓图省事，叫“叉P”的似乎不在少数。
Google——谷歌
Google李开复说：07年他最遗憾的事情是仍然有很大部分的网民不知道google如何发音、如何拼写，大家都叫google为go-go。Google的诨名包括“古狗”“狗狗”等等，当然，颇具争议的“谷歌”结束了这些诨名。
小编：记得当初“谷歌”这个名字定下来的时候，很多google粉丝都觉得这个名字不够大气，时至今日，小编我也不太清楚这个中文名字的推广成果到底怎么样。
Facebook
虽然至今没有成功的利润模式，但是人气颇盛，微软、李嘉诚先后的入股更是让它天下皆知。Facebook已经开始中文化了，品牌的中文化也应该是很快的事情。到目前为止，Facebook流传较多的“诨名”包括：“脸谱”、“花名册”、“范本”。
小编：记得之前看过一个评论，说如果facebook叫做脸谱的话，是不是myspace可以翻译成“吾空”。
Smart
梅塞德斯 奔驰(Mercedes-Benz和斯沃琪(Swatch)合资建立的品牌。虽然也有“聪明”车这样的诨名，但大家认可度最高的“诨名”还是“精灵”。的确比较传神。
小编：说起来看见swatch可能都认识，但是说起斯沃琪……还真没听说过。
VISA
Visa的英文一点都不输它的竞争对手MasterCard(万事达卡)，可惜中文就一直没有可以和万事达相抗衡的。诨名包括“维萨”“威士”等。
小编：其实VISA这种简单的发音应该还难不倒中国人的，另外签证这个词的英文也是visa，护照就是passport啦。
Zara
快时尚让Zara、H&M一下子在中国白领中流行，如果不知道Zara似乎已经是很“土”的人了。在这样的情况下，Zara的“诨名”也就不可避免的开始产生了，“飒拉”就是在这样的情况下产生的，说实话，很佩服起这个名的人的，音、义都兼顾到了。
小编：都说走的是高端品牌低端价位的路线，不过最近里面东西的价格也越来越有高不可攀的架势了……
Timberland & TheNorthFace
这两个牌子放在一起说，是因为我经常见到这两个牌子，而且经常把二者搞混，但这两个牌子都是相当的低调。 Timberland是休闲服饰品牌，诨名包括“天木蓝”“天伯伦”;TheNorthFace是美国威富旗下的户外运动品牌(国内见到的更多是它的羽绒服)，诨名“乐斯菲斯”。
Gucci
奢侈品出于多种原因，不少都没有正式中文名，于是诨名泛滥，Gucci就是代表。我们所知道的诨名就包括“古驰”、“古孜”、“古姿”、“古琦”。
Hummer
这个很Man的品牌，虽然没有正式中文名，但是它的诨名早已形成固有认知，恐怕即使是有人抢注也无法撼动：“悍马”。当然，它还有一个直译的诨名“蜂鸟”。
Eckounltd
这个牌子，看名字大家不太熟悉，但大伙一定记得他的logo：犀牛。于是它的诨名自然就是：“犀牛”，其实这样的诨名也符合它StreetWear的风格。
ongchamp
法国的奢侈品品牌，就我所知有2个很奢华的诨名，真的对起名的人佩服得五体投地：“隆尚宫”、“珑骧”。
Thinkpad
ThinkPad，诨名“小黑”，亲切而且酷。

Mr.and Mrs.Taylor had a seven year old boy named Pat.Now Mrs.Taylor was expecting another child.
Pat had seen babies in other people's houses and had not liked them very much，so he was not delighted about the news that there was soon going to be one in his house too.
One evening Mr.and Mrs.Taylor were making plans for the baby's arrival.“This house won't be big enough for us all when the baby comes，”said Mr.Taylor.
Pat came into the room just then and said，“What are you talking about？”“We were saying that we'll have to move to an other house now，because the new baby's coming，”his mother answered.
“ It's no use，”said Pat hopelessly.“ He'll follow us there.”
