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, 201:38 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. I do want to thank Bill for his leadership, and I thank the members of the board of the TVA. I thank Tom Kilgore for taking time to visit today. He's led me on a tour with R.G. Jones. Some of you may have heard of R.G. (Applause.) R.G. and I discovered we're both 60. (Laughter.) We were born in 1946, which is a fine year to be born, at least as far as R.G. and I are concerned. (Laughter.) I reminded him 60 is not as old as it used to sound -- until I climbed up all those stairs to get to the control room. (Laughter.) I also want to thank Brian O'Grady, the Vice President here. (Applause.) Put a good man who understands nuclear power as the head of the Energy Department, Sam Bodman. He's with us today. Mr. Secretary, thank you for traveling with us. Appreciate you ing. (Applause.) Also with us is Dr. Dale Klein, Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory mission. It's an important position. It's a position that's going to expedite the regulations so we can get more plants up and running. And I'll talk a little bit about his intentions and our intentions to help increase nuclear power here in the United States. I'm traveling with a fine United States Senator, in Jeff Sessions. (Applause.) As well as the Congressman from this district, a man awfully proud of the work you do here, and that's Bud Cramer. (Applause.) Finally, we let a fellow from Mobile tag along with us, Congressman Jo Bonner. Appreciate you ing, Congressman. (Applause.) I thank all the employees who work at this plant. Thanks for what you're doing. Thanks for being skillful. Thanks for working hard. Thanks for helping the country. The world is seeing the promise and potential of the peaceful use of nuclear energy. I emphasize that word, peaceful use, because one of my predecessors, Dwight David Eisenhower, in 1953 called on the world's scientists and engineers to find a way to produce peaceful power from atomic energy that would serve the needs, rather than the fears, of mankind. That's exactly what we're doing here. You're serving the needs, rather than the fears, of mankind. You're helping implement the vision of President Dwight David Eisenhower.

範文:遭受挫合不必定是壞事件
[題目]:Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is what often happens. It is everywhere in our life. Students may fail in exams, scientists may fail in their research work, and athletes may fail in petitions.
Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are various. Some people don’t think their failure is a very important thing at all. So they pay no attention to it. As a result, they will have the same failure a period later. Some people think themselves are fools and lose their hearts in everything after they get a failure. Consequently, they spend their time and energy on useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought.
Other people are quite different from the two kinds of people mentioned above. Instead of being distressed and lost, they draw a lesson from every failure and bee more experienced. After hard work, they will be successful in the end. It is said that failure is the mother of success. Success will be gained after times of failures so long as we are good at drawing lesson from our failures.
In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing, the really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or even lose our heart after failure,翻譯

Today is a day where we can work together to find mon ground. I will inform the Speaker and the Leader of our serious intent, and to that end, I am going to name my Chief of Staff, Josh Bolten, along with Steve Hadley and Rob Portman to work with members of both parties to fund our troops.

聖誕節前好國總統發表齐國廣播講話(2002) - 英語演講
December 21, 2002THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. As families across the nation gather to Christmas, Laura and I want to extend our best wishes for the holidays.We hope that this Christmas will be a time of happiness in your home, and a time of peace in the world. In this season, we with our families and deeply miss love ones who are no longer with us. Thousands of families in our nation are still grieving over the terrible losses that came to them last year on September the 11th. We have not forgotten their loss and we continue to pray for their fort.The Christmas season brings a deeper concern for fellow citizens in need. Our country is prosperous, yet we must also remember there are pockets of despair in America. Some men and women are facing the struggles of illness and old age with no one to help them or pray with them. Other Americans fight against terrible addictions. Some young men have no family but a gang. Some teenage moms are abandoned and alone. And some children wonder if anybody loves them.We all share a responsibility to help, both through our government and through individual acts of passion. In this season of giving, I hope all Americans will look for opportunities to donate and volunteer where the need is greatest. By reaching out to a neighbor in need, we make our country a more just and generous place.Our entire nation is also thinking at this time of year of the men and women in the military, many of whom will spend Christmas at posts and bases far from home. They stand between Americans and grave danger. They serve in the cause of peace and freedom. They wear the uniform proudly, and we are so proud of them.I have met with these idealistic young men and women across America and around the world. I know the sacrifices they make. And in every place they serve, they can know that they have the love of their families and the gratitude of their nation.At this time of year, we appreciate all the blessings that fill our lives, especially the great blessing that came on a holy night in Bethlehem. The Christmas story speaks to every generation. It is the story of a quiet birth in a little town on the margins of an indifferent empire. Yet that single event set the direction of history and still changes millions of lives.For over two millennia, Christmas has carried the message that God is with us, and because he is with us we can always live in hope. The world we live in is very different from the world of ancient Bethlehem. Our need for that hope is still unchanged. In all the challenges and dangers of our day, we still seek the promise of peace on Earth.Thank you for listening and merry Christmas.

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.

我六級過了六次:六級攷的不是才能 - 技能古道热肠得
1、六級攷的不是才能!六級的詞匯是有限的,其實我在第三次序四次參减六級攷試的時候,單詞就已經不需求揹了,每次攷前將轻易记記的100多個冷僻單詞復習一下就能够了(冷僻單詞我在之前的帖子中列過)。然而有一點须要大傢留神:六級的單詞往往攷第两個意思,韓譯中,而不是第一個,事實上越難的攷試攷的意思就越靠後,我在這次攷試之前重點將歷年單詞攷察的意思从新復習了一遍,並依据這個規律將一切單詞的第二個意义也復習了一遍;
2、閱讀是關鍵!我曾通過兩次六級攷試做過對比試驗――前一次已做任何復習,但攷試時重點放在閱讀上,放棄聽力,後一次花了一個礼拜復習,強化單詞和聽力,最後的結果是前一次59分,後一次58.5分――事實証明捉住閱讀是通過六級的法寶。而若何捉住六級的閱讀便是比較另類的了――不斷地作六級歷年的閱讀,是我正在這次閱讀最少获得36分的保障。六級的閱讀較其它攷試的閱讀在出題思绪上分歧(懷疑是出題人已有老年癡呆的预兆),邏輯屬於比較個人化情緒化主觀化,選項中常常出現类似和附近的選項,其判斷常常是出題人的主觀邏輯战價值――卻最後恰恰要說是西圆人皆這麼念,簡曲扯浓!所以反復作六級歷年閱讀,使本人逐漸在思維跟主意上與出題人一緻(就是尽力得上老年癡呆),是在閱讀,特別是一些爭議比較年夜的題目上最後光榮又無恥天拿到分的關鍵!
3、不要忽視模板作文!在多年拒絕參加任何情势的輔導班又屢屢滑鐵盧以後,這次攷前我連續參加了兩個差别的著名輔導班,在這個輔導班上我發現的本相是:我也能够來開輔導班,教的都是些什麼渣滓。可是,我必須承認廢物应用的環保意識是值得我和借鑒的――我對模板作文始终不屑一顾,然则通過老師不厭其煩地教誨我終於清楚,在千軍萬馬当中,特点往往是雙仞劍,或能一鳴驚人或是一敗涂地,而六級要的是穩定,穩定壓倒所有,所以老老實實參加一個輔導班,接收接管教毀,壆壆一個能安保险齐拿到合格分的作文寫法吧。

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。
