Memory

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement 午夜,路上寂静无声
Has the moon lost her memory 月儿也失去记忆
She is smiling alone 她笑得多孤寂
In the lamplight 街灯下
The withered leaves collect at my feet 枯叶在我的脚下堆积
And the wind begins to moan 风儿也开始哀鸣

Memory, all alone in the moonlight 回忆,当我独自在月光里
I can smile at the old days 我的笑只在往昔
It was beautiful then那时多么美丽
I remember the time I knew what happiness was 回忆当时才知快乐是什么含义
Let the memory live again 让回忆重新降临

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise 日光,我等待太阳升起
I must think of a new life 我要为未来思虑
And I mustn't give in 而我不能放弃
When the dawn comes 当黎明到来
Tonight will be a memory, too今夜也将要成为回忆
And a new day will begin 新的一天就要开启

Burnt out ends of smoky days 每日都像燃烧的烟雾
The stale, cold smell of morning 霉味充满清晨空气
The street lamp dies 街灯又熄
Another night is over又是一夜过去
Another day is dawning又将是一个黎明

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me 靠近我,离开我多么容易
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun让我独自回忆,回忆昨日美丽
If you touch me 如果你靠近
You'll understand what happiness is你将明了快乐的意义
Look! A new day has begun看!新的一天已经来临

You Are My Sunshine

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skys are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

关于鱼

提起fish,它给人们的第一印象便是指“鱼”,实际上它 的用法并非如此简单。fish用作可数名词指“鱼的条数”时单数和复数形式相同(two fish两条鱼),指“鱼的种类”时复数形式才为fishes(two fishes两种鱼);fish用作不可数名词时无复数形式,应作“鱼肉”解(Help yourself to some fish.随便吃些鱼。);fish用作动词时,它的含义又与“钓(捕)鱼”有关(go fishing去钓鱼)。

在英语口语里, fish还常常被用来指“人”,类似于汉语里的“家伙、东西”等。如:a poor fish(可怜虫),a big fish(大亨),a cool fish(无耻之徒),a strange fish(奇人、怪人),a loose fish(放荡鬼)等。但必须注意的是,fish用来指人时形象虽然鲜明,但往往含有贬义。

由fish构成的习语也非常生动有趣。 如:fish in the air本意为“空中钓鱼”,喻指“方法(向)不对而达不到目的”,相当于汉语中的成语“缘木求鱼”。又如:like a fish out of water喻指“如鱼离水、感到生疏”,feel the fishes喻指“葬身鱼腹;晕船”。

含fish的一些谚语更加赋有哲理性。如:
1.Never offer to teach fish to swim.不要班门弄斧。(原意为:决不要教鱼游泳。)
2.The best fish smell bad when they are three days old.久居别家招人嫌。(原意为:鱼过三天就要臭。)
3.He who would catch fish must not mind getting wet.不入虎穴,焉得虎子。(原意为:捉鱼不要怕鞋湿。)
4.There's as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it.纵然失去一个机会,不愁没有其他机会。(原意为:海里的好鱼是取之不尽的。)


Learning English in your daily life!

Yesterday a friend told a story of himself when he came to USA at 13 years old. Before he came he did not learn any English therefore he has to be dropped one grade. While during the holiday, he decided to catch up by learning basic 5,000 English words. He started memorizing them everyday by spliting them into 5,000 divided by 60 days, that was almost 80 words for each day. Not only memorizing them every day, he insisted on using them by listening to what people said, by speaking them! The major problem in our way of learning English is that we only know those wordds appear before us, but we never try to make friends with them, use them in our daily life!

It becomes easy for you when you start to recognize the new words by listening, talking, reading. The more impressive way is for you to use them in expressing yourself! That's the best way for you to realize the meaning of each word you are going to speak out. You have to search in your mind for the most appropriate word for the expression. Then you'll start to realize the proper grammar and proper word to say before different people!

If you try, you'll know if the story is helpful or not! Try it, you may find it useful!
Good luck!
