情绪失控go bananas
Bananas，又香又甜的香蕉几乎人人爱吃，但对香蕉爱得最疯狂的可能得数猴子了。猴子看到香蕉会兴奋得忘乎所以，又叫又跳。Go bananas这个习惯用语就来源于此。
当然它并不一定只用来形容猴子。如果某人在特定情境下像猴子看到香蕉那样激动得上窜下跳、又喊又叫，甚至行为失常，那这个人必定是情绪失控了，这个时候我们就可以说he is going bananas.
Yummy mummy is a slang term used in the United Kingdom to describe young, attractive and wealthy mothers. The term developed in the 2000s, and was often applied to celebrity mothers such as Liz Hurley or Victoria Beckham, who appeared to quickly regain their pre-pregnancy figures after giving birth, and would continue to lead carefree and affluent lifestyles.
Yummy mummy是英国俚语，指那些年轻、漂亮又有钱的妈妈们，我们简称为“漂亮妈妈”。这个词出现于本世纪初期，多用来描述伊丽莎白?赫利或维多利亚?贝克汉姆等明星妈妈，她们能在产后迅速恢复身材，然后继续过着她们无忧无虑且富足的生活。
The city government of Ankang on Thursday evening apologized to a woman who underwent a forced abortion at a hospital in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, adding that officials who have been found to be responsible for the incident will be relieved of their duties.
陕西省安康市政府周四晚向被在医院强制引产的一名孕妇道歉，并称将对对此事负责的官员做出停职处理。
上面报道中的forced abortion就是“强制引产”，在这儿abortion是指人工terminate pregnancy（终止妊娠），也可称作induced abortion。我国现行的family planning policy（计划生育政策）规定，引产只能在征得孕妇的written consent （书面同意）下进行，且要坚决杜绝late-stage abortion（大月份引产）。“超生人口”英文表达为extra births。
与abortion之相对的是spontaneous abortion（自然流产），也叫miscarriage，是指gestational age（胎龄）不足28周、胎儿体重不足1000g而终止妊娠，其中在妊娠二十周以后流产，称为preterm birth（早产），胎儿有可能存活。常见的自然流产
种类还有threatened abortion（先兆流产）、recurrent pregnancy loss (习惯性流产）等。
Thousands of people will step out of their homes and offices tomorrow morning to see a rare celestial event that will not happen again in our lifetimes: The transit of Venus across the face of the Sun
千上万的人们明天早上将走出家门，观看一个我们一生中都不会再见的天文奇观：金星凌日。
上面报道中的transit of Venus就是“金星凌日”。金星轨道在地球轨道内侧，某些特殊时刻，地球、金星、太阳会在一条直线上，这时从地球上可以看到金星就像一个小黑点一样在太阳表面缓慢移动，天文学称之为“金星凌日”。T ransit作为天文学中的术语时指的指一个planet（行星）或月球经过另一个较大的celestial body（天体）的表面，尤指太阳。另外人造卫星也会凌日，一般把人造卫星“凌日”叫做Sun Outage（日凌）。
“金星凌日”原理上类似于solar eclipse（日食）。常见的天文现象还有sunspot（太阳黑子），annular solar eclipse（日环食），partial solar eclipse（日偏食），及
“金星凌日”时，需要佩戴专门的eclipse shades （日食观测镜），或者在望远镜上装上solar filter（滤光膜）观察，这样还可观察到金星internal ingress（入凌）和internal egress（出凌）时的black drop effect （“黑滴”现象）。
According to ancient Chinese medical theories, the Conception and Governor vessels, located at different acupuncture points, control the flow of the human body's Yin and Yang energy, respectively.
根据中国古代中医理论，任督二脉位于不同的穴位上，分别控制人体的阴阳能量流动。

任督二脉的说法来自Traditional Chinese Medicine（中医）中的经络学说，中医范畴很大，包括各种形式的herbal medicine（草药）、acupuncture（针
灸）、massage（Tui na，推拿）、exercise（qigong，气功）和dietary therapy
cupping（拔罐）、moxibustion（艾灸）、和Gua Sha（刮痧）等。
recent report on Chinese health revealed that the average Chinese person is 8.2 years older than his or her chronological age, a sign of poor health.

●The term "snowclone" describes the practice of transforming cliches, axioms and pop culture catchphrases into modern analogies. By replacing a few key words from the original saying, a writer can put a new context using the old formula. For example, the catchphrase "To be or not to be, that is the question" can be turned into "To eat or not to eat, that is the question."
“雪克隆”指的是把一些陈词滥调、公理、流行文化名言改编成现代版本的行为。通过替换原文的几个关键词就可以旧瓶装新酒。例如，名言“生，还是死，这就是问题的所在”可以变成“吃，还是不吃，这就是问题的所在”。
●Today is "Leap Day" and for centuries has been traditionally associated with the idea of romance reversal as women take to one knee to propose to their men

调整calendar year(历年)/calendar month(历月)长度，使之接近tropical year（回归年）/lunar month(朔望月)而增加的一日。
2月29日这一天还是“国际女性表白日”。据说，早在1288年，苏格兰就确定2月29日为“妇女权利日”。当时的玛格丽特女王颁布法令，宣布这一天女人可以向男人make a proposal（求婚），并对无拘无束追逐女性又拒绝接受警告的男人实行罚款。如果被表白的男人拒绝，则需要购买物品送给对方，以示安慰。

Last year, the world's first environmental lottery was unveiled in UK, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting climate change
发行environmental lottery（环保彩票）有利于环保事业的fund raising（筹集资金），有利于为彩民提供投资途径；有利于为环保宣传独辟蹊径，有利于为环保理念深入人心；有利于为社会创造就业岗位，为国家增加税费收入。据估算，“中国环保彩票”如果和中国welfare lottery（福利彩票）、中国sport lottery（体育彩票）达到同等规模，按照2010年static computation（静态计算）：则可为社会创造直接就业岗位约30万个；仅“偶然所得税”一项，每年可为国家增加收入超30亿元

Imagine only needing to hover under a street lamp to get public internet access, or downloading a movie from the lamp on your desk. There's a new technology on the block which could, quite literally as well as metaphorically, 'throw light on' how to meet the ever-increasing demand for high-speed wireless connectivity. Radio waves are replaced by light waves in a new method of data transmission which is being
called Li-Fi(Light Fidelity).
想象一下这样的场景，在街灯下走两步就能连入公共区域因特网，通过桌上的台灯就能下载电影。现在，有这样一种新技术就可以解决上述这些高速无线网络连接的需求问题。这种新技术叫做Li-Fi（光保真）技术，是用光波取代无线电波传输数据的技术。
As well as being a potential solution to our ever-increasing hunger for bandwidth, Li-Fi has other advantages over WiFi, such as being safe to use on an aircraft, in hospitals and medical devices, and even underwater, where WiFi doesn't work at all. Research suggests that Li-Fi has the potential to be faster, safer and cheaper than conventional WiFi technology.
除了能够解决带宽需求以外，Li-Fi相对于WiFi的优势还有：能够在飞机和医院等场合无障碍使用，甚至在WiFi不能到达的水下区域，Li-Fi也能大展拳脚。而且研究显示，Li-Fi会比传统的WiFi更快、更安全、更省钱。

（偷菜）、陪人聊天、web design（设计网页）等。网络钟点工跟传统的
Virtual在这里是指“借助计算机或者计算机网络进行的”，类似用法还有virtual conversations（网聊）以及传递心事和秘密的virtual floating bottle（网络漂流瓶）等。目前对网络钟点工服务的标准和质量没有明确的衡量标准，很容易产生不必要的纠纷。业内人士提醒交易双方在交易过程中应该尽量保存好双方的chat archive/log （聊天记录）和交易证据。

(约翰去年被应征入伍。) 全国人大新闻发言人李肇星本周四在新闻发布会上称，2010年我国国防预算将比上年预算执行数增长7.5%。与前几年相比，国防费用增幅有所下降。 请看新华社的报道： China plans to increase its defense budget by 7.5 percent in 2010, only about half of last year's planned growth of 14.9 percent, a parliament spokesman said here on Thursday. 全国人大发言人(李肇星)本周四称，中国2010年国防预算的增幅计划为7.5%，增幅仅为去年计划增幅14.9%的一半。 文中的defense budget就是指“国防预算”，而在实际花费之后则会形成defense expenditure/spending(国防开支)。该预算在fiscal expenditure(财政支出)中所占的比例与去年持平。我国一直奉行defensive national defense policy(防御性国防政策)，逐步提高military transparency(军事透明度)，每两年发布一次white papers on national defense(国防白皮书)。 每年各国政府都会制定fiscal year(财政年度)中的各项预算。家庭内部还可以制定family budget(家庭预算)。现在年轻人的消费观念已经发生了转变，采用budget plan/divided payments(分期付款)的方式买车也越来越流行了，但这并不代表一定会铺张浪费，很多人还是会选择购买一辆budget car(便宜的车)。 3月3日在向政协大会做工作报告时，中共中央政治局常委、全国政协主席贾庆林表示，将高度重视收入差距过大引发的影响社会稳定的因素，努力促进社会公平正义。
浙江高考写作“读后续写”点津与练习 一、“读后续写”样题呈现 1. 样题呈现 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn’t get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried. Arthur stopped and asked, “It looks like you’ve got a problem,” Arthur said. “I’m afraid so. I’m in a big hurry and I can’t start my car.” “Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases in to a taxi.” “No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help.” The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm. It was from the bank. There had been a robbery (抢劫)! Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, “What happened?” But everyone had a different answer. Arthur, still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him. She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. “Why is she looking at me like that?” he thought. “The suitcase! She thinks I’m the bank thief!” Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150 左右； 2. 应使用5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
这些年过的春节年味儿越飘越淡 The Spring Festival travel rush, witnessed by tens of thousands people going home, gets more and more frightening every year. Firecrackers are more extravagant. The Spring Festival eve dinner gets even more delicious. However, most Chinese people feel that the atmosphere of Spring Festival, or Nianwei, is fading. How come? Why we feel less excited than before when we mention the Spring Festival? 虽然春运潮一年比一年猛，鞭炮和礼花一年比一年热烈，年夜饭一年比一年丰盛，很多国人却感到年味儿越来越淡了。年味儿为什么会变淡？我们提到过年时为什么不再有儿时的期盼和兴奋？ 年味儿是什么味？ What is Nianwei? What kind of atmosphere is it? It is the excitement and expectation on the way home; it is the smile on parents’ faces when we arrive; It is the happiness of the whole family sitting together chatting; it is our toast to our elders at dinner; It is the smell of fireworks going off outside; it is the jiaozi (dumpling) for the Spring Festival eve dinner that mom has been busy preparing; It is the enjoyment of going to the temple fair and watching the dragon dance, a scene that drags us back to childhood; it is the friendly ambiance in which everyone says “Happy New Year” no matter whether they know each other or not; It is the red lanterns hanging everywhere… Nianwei, the Spring Festival atmosphere, is happiness, peace and reunions… 什么是年味？ 年味是回家途中的激动与期盼，是踏入家门时爸妈的笑脸； 是全家团圆的喜乐气氛，是晚辈孝敬长辈围坐在桌前敬的那一杯酒； 是屋外烟花闪耀飘进鼻内的一股幽香，是妈妈忙前忙后做的一顿年夜饭中的饺子；是逛庙会看着舞龙仿佛又回到童年的一种享受，是甭管认识不认识，见面都说过年好的那种友好感觉； 是满大街挂满了红灯笼充满了祝福话语的那种气氛。。。。。。 “年味”是喜庆、是平安、是团圆。。。。。。 过年习俗 Cleaning: In Chinese, the pronunciation of “尘”（dust）and “陈”（stale things）are the same, so cleaning the dust before the Spring Festival eve means kicking poverty and bad luck out of the house. The tradition embodies people’s hope to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. 扫尘：按民间的说法，因“尘”与“陈”谐音，新春扫尘有“除尘布新”的涵义，其用意是要把一切穷运、晦气统统扫出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望

情绪失控go bananas Bananas，又香又甜的香蕉几乎人人爱吃，但对香蕉爱得最疯狂的可能得数猴子了。猴子看到香蕉会兴奋得忘乎所以，又叫又跳。Go bananas这个习惯用语就来源于此。 当然它并不一定只用来形容猴子。如果某人在特定情境下像猴子看到香蕉那样激动得上窜下跳、又喊又叫，甚至行为失常，那这个人必定是情绪失控了，这个时候我们就可以说he is going bananas. Yummy mummy is a slang term used in the United Kingdom to describe young, attractive and wealthy mothers. The term developed in the 2000s, and was often applied to celebrity mothers such as Liz Hurley or Victoria Beckham, who appeared to quickly regain their pre-pregnancy figures after giving birth, and would continue to lead carefree and affluent lifestyles. Yummy mummy是英国俚语，指那些年轻、漂亮又有钱的妈妈们，我们简称为“漂亮妈妈”。这个词出现于本世纪初期，多用来描述伊丽莎白?赫利或维多利亚?贝克汉姆等明星妈妈，她们能在产后迅速恢复身材，然后继续过着她们无忧无虑且富足的生活。 The city government of Ankang on Thursday evening apologized to a woman who underwent a forced abortion at a hospital in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, adding that officials who have been found to be responsible for the incident will be relieved of their duties. 陕西省安康市政府周四晚向被在医院强制引产的一名孕妇道歉，并称将对对此事负责的官员做出停职处理。 上面报道中的forced abortion就是“强制引产”，在这儿abortion是指人工terminate pregnancy（终止妊娠），也可称作induced abortion。我国现行的family planning policy（计划生育政策）规定，引产只能在征得孕妇的written consent （书面同意）下进行，且要坚决杜绝late-stage abortion（大月份引产）。“超生人口”英文表达为extra births。 与abortion之相对的是spontaneous abortion（自然流产），也叫miscarriage，是指gestational age（胎龄）不足28周、胎儿体重不足1000g而终止妊娠，其中在妊娠二十周以后流产，称为preterm birth（早产），胎儿有可能存活。常见的自然流产

口语点津：情态动词can't 的10个习惯表达 In English grammar the modal verb “can”and its opposite “cannot or can’t” is explained as a verb that we use to describe ability or the lack of it. For example, I can play tennis or I cannot swim. 在英语语法中，情态动词"can"和它的否定形式"can't"分别用来描述拥有某种能力和缺乏某种能力，比如"I can play tennis."（我会打网球。）或者" I cannot swim."（我不会游泳。）In question form it can be used to ask permission, for example, “Can I leave early today?” or as a challenge –“Why can’t I have another biscuit?” 在疑问句中，"can"和"can't"用于征得同意，比如“Can I leave early today?”（“我今天可以提前走吗？”）或者可用于表达挑衅意味，如“Why can’t I have another biscuit?”（“我为什么不能再吃一块饼干？”） Can’t (or cannot) is also used with some verbs to create idiomatic expressions and are widely used by native English speakers. "can't"（或"can not"）也常常和一些动词连用，在英语中是常用的习惯表达。 1. can’t wait –to be excited about something 1.迫不及待要做某事 e.g. I can’t wait to see my friends next week.
