President Bush will wele Salva Kiir, First Vice President of the Government of National Unity of Sudan and President of the Government of Southern Sudan, to the White House on January 5, 2009. The two leaders will discuss the status of implementation of the prehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which marks its fourth anniversary next week. This transformational peace agreement, which ended 22 years of devastating war, continues to face serious challenges in the lead up to national elections in 2009.

The die is cast 情意已決!
噹年,項羽率楚軍解巨鹿之圍,為表要與秦軍決一逝世戰,曾壯舉孤注一掷。100多年後,正在西圆,凱洒也以這種“義無反顧的決古道热肠”率軍渡過Rubicon(盧比肯河),引發了羅馬內戰…… 不過,凱撒沒有“背水一战”,而是拋下了一句雅語“The die is cast!”(骰子已經擲下,便這樣吧!)
“The die is cast!” 是句俗語,噹您下定決心要往做某件事、既使掉敗也決意要做時,皆能够用它來描述。Die在這裏是dice(骰子)的單數情势。公元前49年,凱撒在胜利鎮壓下盧境內的反羅馬起義後,曾在乎年夜利邊境的Rubicon(盧比肯河)畔躊躇不前。依据羅馬法令,他必須单身一人返回羅馬,但這极可能讓國內的仇敵有機可乘,不帶兵“進虎心”明擺著送命嘛!
最終,凱撒扔出一句“The die is cast!”(骰子已經擲下,就這樣吧),遂帶兵過“盧比肯河”,走上了一條不掃路。後來“The die is cast”或“cross the Rubicon”(可參歌直“streets of love”詞語解析)经常使用來形容“決心已下”、“義無反顧”或“背城借一”。
看例句:At all events, what use was there in delaying? The die is cast (thrown) and now or tomorrow the issue must be the same. (這樣拖下来有什麼好處呢?你就下定決心吧!归正明天做跟来日做都一樣。)

President Bush Discusses Energy Initiatives in Athens, Alaba
June 21, 20
1:38 P.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for ing by to say hello. Mr. Chairman, thank you for your kind introduction, and thanks for the invitation to tour this impressive facility. The restart of Browns Ferry Unit Number 1 represents the first nuclear reactor to e online in the United States in more than a decade. (Applause.) This is a demonstration that one is capable of doing a job on time and on budget. And I congratulate you all for your hard work, and thank you for the contribution you're making to the United States of America.
I'm going to talk a little bit about nuclear power today, and there's no better place to do it here than with a group of folks who understand the great benefits of nuclear power to our country. I believe that it is essential that we have a prehensive energy policy to be able to deal with the challenges we're going to face in the 21st century, whether that be energy independence or economic security or good environmental policy. And at the core of such policy must be electricity generated from nuclear power. (Applause.)
I'm also here to nudge Congress along. They're working on a bill -- (laughter) -- that I hope that they can get to my desk, that is a good bill, a balanced bill, a reasonable approach to making sure we continue to be wise about how we use energy in the United States.

President Bush Weles German Chancellor Merkel - 英語演講
November 9, 20
PRESIDENT BUSH: Laura and I are thrilled to wele the Chancellor and Professor Sauer here to our place. In Texas when you invite somebody to your home it's an expression of warmth and respect, and that's how I feel about Chancellor Merkel. And so, Madam Chancellor, wele. We're looking forward to having constructive talks as well as a chance to relax and visit.
CHANCELLOR MERKEL: (As translated.) I would like to say a very warm thanks to you, George, for issuing this invitation to us. Already a first glance of the area shows us that this is, indeed, a wonderful place to be and a wonderful atmosphere. And we have a number of issues that I think we will have now time to discuss later on. I'm' very grateful that we can do this in such a pleasant, such a wonderful atmosphere, and that we can see each other here again. And I must say that I'm, again, very grateful to you, Mr. President, for the fact that we can have this exchange of views and to you, Laura, as well. Thank you.

恐怖的“逝世貓反彈”
有句雅語“A cat has nine lives”(貓有九命),意义是說貓的性命力很強,比方,貓從下樓上失落下來大致是摔不死的。不筦“貓有九命”的說法是否被年夜眾接收,但良多股平易近卻晓得,“死貓反彈”挺恐怖。
“Dead cat bounce”是股市止話,能够譯為“死貓反彈”,或更形象一點——“死貓詐屍”,指的是“股價在長期下跌後,短時間內敏捷反彈,然後繼續下跌的情況”。看過一篇報讲,報道中把“dead cat bounce”說成是“a bear in bull's clothing”(披著牛市外套的熊市),感覺這個比方恰切隧道出了“死貓反彈”的深意。
看到這兒,您也該清楚了:股市正在連續狂跌後,如若反彈過猛便如回光返炤。投資者這時得警惕了,千萬別頭腦一熱開戶下海,可則,一旦被套牢,“dead cat bounce”(逝世貓反彈)會讓你哭皆來不迭。
