Jake: This is a postage meter. Pitney Bowes made the first one in 1919. A postage meter can stamp mail automatically.
杰克：这是盖戳机。皮特尼?鲍在1919年生产了第一台盖戳机。盖戳机可以自动为信件盖上邮戳。
But before 1919, it didn't use to be so easy. They used to stamp letters by hand in those days.
但在1919年以前，这项工作可不那么轻松。那时候人们都是手工盖戳。
Now they use postage meters. Postal workers could stamp about a dozen letters in a minute with this machine.
而现在他们用上了盖戳机。当时，邮局工人用这种机器一分钟大约能盖十二封信。
Jake: Shaving didn't use to be so easy. Back then, men used to shave by hand. They couldn't shave in a hurry. . . . 杰克：过去，刮胡子可不那么容易。那时，男人们手动刮胡子。他们刮不快……
Then, Jacob Schick invented the electric razor. Today, men use electric razors, and they can shave quickly and easily.
后来扎考伯?史克发明了电动剃须刀，现在男人们都用电动剃须刀，可以刮得又快又轻松。
The Schick factories used to be in Stamford, but they aren't here anymore.
史克工厂过去曾在斯坦福德，但现在不在这儿了。
Jake: Stamford workers used to make most of the world's glass tubes. At Machlett Laboratories, glassblowers used to make thousands of them every day.
杰克：斯坦福德的工人们过去生产世界上大部分的玻璃管。在马彻里特工厂，人们过去每天生产数千只玻璃管，
A good glassblower could make a glass tube like this one in fifteen minutes. But he couldn't work for more than three or four hours without a break.
一个好的吹玻璃工十五分钟能制作一个这样的玻璃管。但他们不能连续工作三、四个小时，
It was too hot. Now most X-ray tubes are made by machines.
因为工厂里太热了，现在大部分的X光玻璃管都是机器生产的。
Jake: Stamford factory workers used to make all these products. Stamford used to be a factory town.
杰克：所有这些产品都是过去斯坦福德的工厂生产的。那时斯坦福德是个工业城。
Today, it is a corporate city with offices instead of factories.
现在则是一个办公楼林立的商业中心，早已没有昔日那种工厂云集的样子了。
Jake: We hope you enjoyed our feature today. Please tune in tomorrow. I'm Jake Seltzer and this is"Hello Amer ica. "
杰克：希望您喜欢我们今天的节目，欢迎明天继续收看，我是杰克?萨尔茨，这是“你好，美国”节目。
Mike: What's wrong, Jake? We're done. You can get up.
迈克：怎么了，杰克？我们已经录完了，你可以起来了。
Jake: It's strange. During my report, I couldn't read the teleprompter. I didn't use to have trouble reading it.
杰克：好奇怪。刚才报道时，我看不清提示机上的字。过去可从没这样过。
Mike: Maybe you need glasses.
迈克：也许你要戴眼镜。
Jake: Glasses! Last week I could read without glasses.
杰克：戴眼镜！上个星期我还可以不戴眼镜就能看清楚呢！
Mike: Hmm. I wonder what happened to you this week, Jake.
迈克：嗯，杰克，我想知道你这个星期是怎么了？

生活英语
1. I'm so fed up with your BS. Cut the crap.我受够了你的废话, 少说废话吧. 美女(美国的女人) 是不喜欢说shit 这个不雅的字的, 所以她们就说shoot, 或是BS(=Bull shit) 来表示她们还是很有气质的. "Cut your crap." 是当你听到对方废话连篇, 讲个不停时, 你就可以说, "Cut the crap." 相当于中文里的废话少话。 2. Hey! wise up!放聪明点好吗? 当别人作了什么愚蠢的事时, 你可以说, "Don't be stupid" 或是"Don't be silly."但是这是非常不礼貌的说法. 比较客气一点的说法就是, wise up! 它就相当于中文里的放聪明点. 你也可以用坚酸刻薄的语气说. Wise up, please. 然后故意把please 的尾音拉得长长的. 也有人会说, Hey! grow up. 意思就是你长大一点好不好? 例如有人二十岁了却还不会自己补衣服, 你就可以说Hey! grow up. 这根wise up 是不是也差不多呢? 3. Put up or shut up.要嘛你就去做, 不然就给我闭嘴. 有些人就是出那张嘴, 只会出意见, 此时就可以说, Put up or shut up. 要注意的是,Put up 字典上是查不到"自己去做" 的意思, 但是见怪不怪, 很多笔记本上的用法都是字典上查不到的. 比方说今天你在写程序, 有人明明不懂却喜欢在一旁指挥你, 这时候你就可以说, Put up or shut up. 有时为了要加强shut up 的语气, 老美会把它说成, shut the f**k up. 这句话常在二人火气很大时的对话中可以听到, 例如电影The house on the haunted hill 女主角身陷鬼屋之中, 其它人又七嘴八舌时, 她就很生气地说了一句, shut the f**k up. 这句话也让我想到一句成语, walk the walk, talk the talk, 也就是说到就要作到,有点像是中文里知行要合一的意思, 或是只说, walk the talk 也可以. 4. You eat with that mouth?你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗? 别人对你说脏话, 你就回敬他这一句, 言下之意, 就是你的嘴那么脏, 你还用这张嘴吃饭.还有一种说法, "You kiss your Momma with that mouth?" 就是说你也是用这脏嘴亲你妈妈的吗? 所以下次记得如果有老美对你说脏话, 记得不要再Fxxx 回去, 保持风度,说一句, "You eat with that mouth?" 就扯平了 5. You are dead meat.你死定了. 我们说你完蛋了, 可以说"You are dead." 或是像这样说"You are dead meat." 意思都是一样的, 比如说你跟别人说过不淮碰我的东西, 但有人他就是老爱用你的东西, 下次要是再被你抓到, 你就可以说, "You are dead meat." 6. Don't you dare!How dare you!你好大的胆子啊! 这句话跟中文里"你好大的胆子" 是一样, 可以在二种场合说, 第一种是很严肃的场合,比如说小孩子很调皮, 讲又讲不听, 父母就会说, "Don't you dare!" 那意思就是这个小孩要当心点, 不然等会就要挨打了. 另一种场合是开玩笑, 比如有人跟你说我跟某网友约会去了, 你说"Don't you dare?" 就有点开玩笑的语气. (你不怕被恐龙给吃了吗?)Dare 在英文里还有许多有趣的用法, 例如, "You dare me." 或是"I double dare you." 还有一种游戏叫Truth or Dare, 限于篇幅, 容后再作介绍. 7. Don't push me around.不要摆布我. 这个词很有意思, 把你推来推去, 作摆布解释, 如果有人指挥你一下作这个一下作那个,你

千万法精通英语
千万法精通英语了 我十年前毕业,来深圳打工已有十年了,前五年做业务员,是一个很成功的业务员,如果大家对这也有疑问的话,欢迎一起探讨业务上的事情.后五年,做业务经理,这是很自然的事,做业务经理很有闲,而且一切很熟悉,所以无所事事,2001年接触陈安之,至今都是他的支持者,受其影响,重新调整自已,重新找到方向,便开始学英语,刚开始,用的是李阳的教材,每天十句话,拼命学,没什么效果,一天,突然看到千万别学英语,凭感觉是一本好书,当时就买下来,第一阶级,我用的是李阳的磁带,是那盒情景对话,话速很快,但用词简单. 每天四次的听,大概听了二十多天,就听清了,第二盒,是那盒提高版的,四天就听清了,然后是第二阶段,四天听写完那盒情景会话,然后跟读,一个月完成每二阶段.然后第三阶段,当时只用了三个月,就以为可以了,所以就开始听电影,但根本听不懂,就买了走遍美国听,听完又听写,花了四个月,当时就觉得好象有点反应,但因为没有环境,所以也不知道是怎么回事, 后来公司要开拓市场,我只有放弃英语,全心开拓新市场,每天只是进行第三阶段二小时左右,另外没有时间学了, 共花了一年时间,新市场开拓成功,我又开始学英语,这次是专门学英语,因为我把工作给辞了.什么事都不做,而我的家人都在深圳,每月需3000元左右,但各位不要怀疑,我已经有很多积蓄,足以保证我的学习继续. 在这一年当中,我每天学习6小时左右,每天看电影,然后听磁带. 我说的突然会说是这么回事,因为我一直没有说过英语.只是读而已,而我也有实力去参加任何培训班,但我都没去,因为我相信千万法,尽管那时我还不会说, 当我完成第五阶段后,我打了深圳一家培训班的电话.我只是想了解下他们的封闭式培训的事情,那个接电话的小姐一开口就是英语,而我当时确实用的也是英语,在我边上的我的妻子都吓了一跳.而且,那小姐听我说想去那里学口语,很奇怪,她说我的口语已经很好了,在我的坚持下,她答应我去做测试.因为我从来就没考虑过费用问题, 去了后,一外教来做测试,随便聊了几个话题,我说的很流利,真的很流利,但我当时有点紧张.但不影响我说英语.那外教当时就表示,我不用去学口语了, 而我已接受这个事实,就是我真的会说英语了,而且很流利. 我已经休息一年了,所以就重出江湖了,再次去人才市场找工作.并且专门找那种需要把英语当成工作语言的公司. 并且很轻松的就进了这家公司,做市场部经理,产品出口多个国家,年产值一个亿左右. 每月我们都要去各地参加展览会,当然,外商来参观就是很自然的事情,而我也交了很多外国朋友的,多数是生意上的.而我的手下的外贸业务员,英语全是8级,因为我们公司的工资很高,外贸业务员一个月能拿3000元以上,而我给她们开会,用的也是英语,我不是显示我会说英语,我是培训她们将英语做
外贸口语学习心得
外贸口语学习心得（精选多篇） 第一篇：外贸口语学习心得 外贸口语学习心得 对于外贸来说，英语水平的高低直接影响着我们的工作，如何能够提高英语，几乎是所有外贸人共同关心的话题，我在这段时间里根据自己的英语学习，总结出一点学习方法，希望大家共同交流。 第一，对于词汇方面，我每天都要背诵至少50个单词，尤其是关于外贸方面的，其实尽管工作都很忙，但背诵50个单词还是很轻松的，一些外贸术语的单词我们其实都学过，只要特殊记一下它的外贸术语意思就可以了，关键是我们要选择什么样的资料去找单词，我现在用的资料是上海科学技术文献出版社出版的《外经贸英语函电》和一本《外贸英语口语》，因为这两本资料都是关于外贸英语的，又是平时经常看的，所一背单词时还可以结合课本，能达到事半功倍的效果。 第二，对于口语方面，我的做法是直接利用外贸口语资料，比如 《外贸英语口语》，每一天的下午我要预习一下，记下陌生的单词，第二天早上上班之前找一个清净的地方大声的朗读，至少要7遍， 这样不但能熟悉课文，还能达到条件反射式的效果和对口腔及舌头的锻炼，使得发音更标准，当然了，最主要的作用还在于提高我们的口语能力。另外，光自己读还是不够的，还要找机会接触老外，哪怕是只是听他们说对我 们也是一种提高。 第三，对于听力方面，我的做法是多听，在工作之余多听听英语, 尤其是在环境不是很宁静的条件下去听，这样的效果会更好一些，因为以后我们接
触客户的时候还有可能在车间里，那样嘈杂的环境对于要听懂客户说什么更是难上加难，所以我经常找嘈杂一点的环境去练习听力，我的方法是外贸英语现实英语，外贸英语方面我用的还是《外贸英语口语》，它是带有听力磁带的，这样在我每学一课的时候，可以集单词背诵，口语练习，听力联系于一体。另外就是在看一些英语教学式的电影，我现在看的是《走遍美国》，不是很难，基本上都能听懂。对于听力同口语方面，近段我也用一款英语软件，它对听力，口语都很好，图像学习，我个人觉得很好，但因人而异。 第四，对于阅读和书写方面，其实这两个关联最大了，就好比我们中国的古话”熟读唐诗三百首，不会吟诗也会吟！平时多看一些英文书籍，看的多了自然就知道怎么写了，就好比我们当中有很多人喜欢武侠小说，所以有很多人的文才就很好，这是一个道理的，另一方面，平时多写一些英文的东西，对于阅读能力的也是大有益处的，我平时喜欢用英语写一些小随笔，而且我与我的朋友经常用英语聊天。这些都对英语的读写能力有很大的助益的！一定要记住一点, 英语的读和写是相辅相成的。 学习永无止境，想要做好外贸，除了学习英语之外，还要学习团队管理和客户关系管理知识。华邦外贸商学院，是一个专为外贸出口企业管理者搭建的学习和知识共享的平台，聘请多位著名企业管理专家，讲解如何快速打造高绩效的团队，让外贸出口企业赢得更多海外订单。 第二篇：外贸口语学习网站 外贸口语学习网站.txt我退化了，到现在我还不会游泳，要知道在我出生之前，我绝对是游的最快的那个讲一口漂亮流利的外贸英语外贸英语口语资料集锦 en glish spoke nlan guagematerial artistic collecti on 好不容易找到的，不顶的朋友真的说不过去了 这些都是本人收集的一些英语口语方面的的资料，希望对一些正在学习英
