【分享】如果一直对孩子说“Yes”效果会怎样
Like most children, my own brood
complains constantly about my style of parenting. "You’re always saying 'No'," they complain, as I tell them they can’t have yet more mayonnaise on their dinner。像大多数孩子们一样,我自己的孩子也一直抱怨我对他们的养育方式。晚饭时当我告诉他们不能再吃蛋黄酱的时侯,他们抱怨说"你总是说'不'。"
"It’s bad for you," I say. "So, no, you can’t."我说:"再吃对你们的健康不好,不,你们不能再吃了。"
"You say no to everything,"says Leonard, aged eight。八岁的Leonard说:"你对任何事情都说不。"
He and his younger siblings
— Jerry, six, and Ottoline, three — then list everything I have said ‘No’ to since they got home from school. Sweets, playing outside with their uniform on, biscuits, getting stuff out from drawer, painting…他和弟弟妹妹们——6岁的Jerry和3岁的Ottoline列了一张清单,上面写着他们从学校回家后我说的所有的"不"。糖果、在外面穿着校服玩、饼干、从抽屉里拿东西、画画……
I’ve always considered myself a pretty easy-going parent, and yet here they are telling me I’m a nay-saying harridan。我一直认为我是一个脾气很好的妈妈,但是他们竟然说我是一个总说"不"的老巫婆。
According to the currently fashionable idea of ‘free parenting’, though, what I should be saying is ‘Yes’。然而根据最近流行的"亲子养育"观点,我应该说"是"。
It’s particularly
interesting to me because I recently decided to try an experiment. In the style of ‘free parenting’, I would say yes to everything my children wanted for an entire week — and see what happened。因为最近我想做一个实验,所以这就对我来说特别有趣。根据"亲子养育"的方式,在整整一个星期内,我要对我的孩子的要求通通说"是",然后看看效果如何。
The only rules were not to let the children know what I’d decided to do, and to ensure that I alerted them to the consequences of their actions, so they could make their own well-informed choices。唯一的规则是不让孩子知道我在做什么,并且确保已经对他们的行为做出了提醒,然后让他们做出自己的选择。
But what if they wanted to swing on the curtains and to paint the walls red? What if my teenage son, 14-year-old Raymond, wanted to bring girls home every night and smoke? What would I say then?但是如果他们想要在窗帘上"荡秋千",或者想要把墙全涂成红色呢?倘若我14岁的儿子Raymond晚上想要带女孩子们回家或者吸烟呢?那么我该说什么呢?
There was only one way to find out…只有一种方法可以知道……

英语中常会用到的口头禅分享
It is a shame!这是一句可以用在许多适当情况的口语 (Catch-all phrase),是表示一种轻度的「遗憾」或「同情」(a form of sympathy or regret) 但没有「羞耻」的意思。例如:
It is a shame that your car got stuck in the snow.(你的汽车陷在雪里,真糟糕。) When I said, "I lost ten dollars from my pocket.",he replied, "It is a shame!"(当我说:「我从口袋里掉了十块钱」,他回答:「真遗憾?」)
至於 "What a shame",其实与 "it is a shame" 意思相似,也有 "It is too bad" 的味道。例如: What a shame that his son's behavior is so rude.(他儿子的粗鲁行为是令人遗憾的) 作者: easolin 时间: 2012-10-5 12:57
【学好美语必须掌握的地道习语】
Hey, Give me five
范例:
"Hey, Tom ! Give me five!" shouted Henry, raising his hand.
“嗨,汤姆!好啊!”享得大叫着,并把手举起来。
句型解说:
在现代美国电影或电视中,常常可看到两个人手伸出一互相击掌(其实中国人也有许多这样),这种现象发生在两初见面时,或是有什么值得两人高兴的事发生时。
有时会说“Give me five”。有时两人很有默契时,不说“Give me five,就互相击掌。
灵活运用:
Tom: Hey, dude! Give me five! 嗨,家伙,好啊!
John: How are you doing, Tom? 汤姆,你好吗?
I haven't seen you since last winter. 自从去年冬天以后就没见过你了。 作者: easolin 时间: 2012-10-9 17:19
【每日学英语】教你如何用英语来形容美女?
I think she is a hottie.
她是个辣妹.
所谓的 hottie 就是指那种很辣的辣妹, 穿著打扮各方面可能都非常地时髦. 或是你也可以说, hot babe 或是 hot chick. 但有一点请注意, 也许你在国内对一个女孩子说, 你真是个辣妹啊! 她可能还会蛮高兴的, 但是在美国你不可以去跟女孩子说 You are a hottie. 那么你可能换回一巴掌.
另外有一个字眼跟 hottie 很像, 叫 hot tamale, 但是这个字一般而言比较少人在用. Hot tamale 原是一种墨西哥食物, 被引申成为辣妹的意思, 不过这个用法比 hottie 更强烈, hottie 单指好看或漂亮的人, 但 hot tamale 则又加上了一些不能自己控制自己, 有点疯狂的意思, 所以也不要乱用喔. 作者: easolin 时间: 2012-10-17 18:45

【分享】中国成语典故:怒发冲冠(中英对照)
战国时代,赵国的大臣蔺相如出使到秦国。在他向秦王索回玉璧的时候,秦王蛮不讲理,蔺相如气愤得连头
发都竖了起来,向上冲着帽子。
In the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru, chief min-ister of the State of Zhao, was sent as an envoy to the State of Qin to ask the ruler of Qin to return a fine piece of jade to Zhao.
But the ruler of Qin was rude and unreasonable. Lin was angry, and his hair stood up so stiffly
on his head that it lifted up his hat.

This idiom came to be used to mean being extremely angry.

【分享】中国成语典故中英对照:班门弄斧
古代有一个建筑和雕刻技术非常高超的人,名叫鲁班,木匠行里尊称他为祖师。传说他曾用木头制作了一只
五彩斑斓的凤凰,能够在空中飞翔三天不掉下来。在鲁班门前摆弄斧子,当然显得有些自不量力了。
Lu Ban was supposed to be a consummate carpenter in ancient times. It is said that he once
carved a wooden phoenix that was so lifelike that it actually flew in the sky for three days. Thus
it was considered the height of folly to show off one's skill with an axe in front of Lu Ban.
“班门弄斧”这个成语,用来比喻在行家面前显示本领。
This idiom excoriates those who show off their slight accomplishments in front of experts.

孩子学习英语教材要“好玩”
A 747 was halfway across the Atlantic when the captain got on the loud speaker, "Attention, passengers. We have lost one of our engines, but we can certainly reach London with the three we have left. Unfortunately, we will arrive an hour late as a r esult."
Shortly thereafter, the passengers heard the captain's voice again, "Guess what, folks. We just lost our third engine, but please be assured we can fly with only one. We will now arrive in London three hours late."
At this point, one passenger became furious. "For Pete's sake," he shouted, "If we lose another engine, we'll be up here all night!"
Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly. Keep a small English dictionary with you at all time.

to wish you joy at this holy season. wishing every happiness will always be with you.
好像口语里很少用到这个词来表达感谢,但是在email里,这个词可是使用率很高的。当事情自己解决不了的时候,需要别人帮忙的时候,或者是自己做错事无法挽回的时候,一句“Your kind help should be appreciated.” 能够发挥很大的作用了。如果你想让对方快一点回复你的email,也可以在结尾写上“Your quick reply will be highly appreciated.”也可以起到很好的push作用。

French kiss 法式之吻,英文译作:kiss with your mouth open and your tongues touching

【分享】小学英语课堂中的快乐教学
1、指导学生依据课文内容表演会话。小学英语教材设计了很多的情景会话,很贴近我们平时的生活。如打招呼“hello,how are you”“I am fine ,thank you and you?”“I am fine too ,thank you”,“Nice to meet you”还有介绍自己的家庭情况“My family lives in x x x .My father is businessman,his name is xxx”……这样的内容极大地调动了学生的积极性。
A FATHER had one son and one daughter, the former remarkable for his good looks, the latter for her extraordinary ugliness. While they were playing one day as children, they happened by chance to look together into a mirror that was placed on their mother's chair. The boy congratulated himself on his good looks; the girl grew angry, and could not bear the self-praises of her Brother, interpreting all he said (and how could she do otherwise?) into reflection on herself. She ran off to her father. to be avenged on her Brother, and spitefully accused him of having, as a boy, made use of that which belonged only to girls. The father embraced them both, and bestowing his kisses and affection impartially on each, said, "I wish you both would look into the mirror every day: you, my son, that you may not spoil your beauty by evil conduct; and you, my daughter, that you may make up for your lack of beauty by your virtues."
