1.Taikonaut [taik?n?:t]

基本翻译

n. 太空飞行员|太空人|中国太空人（由汉语拼音taikong和astronaut缩合而成）

百科

taikonaut

这并非是拼错了的英文单词。1999年11月21日中国成功发射“神舟号”无人宇宙飞船，世界各大媒体争相报道这个消息。在英文的有关中国不久就会发射载人宇宙飞船的报道中，第一次使用了Taikonaut，特指即“中国宇航员”或“中国太空人”。据称，马来西亚的赵里昱（Chiew Lee Yih）在1998年3月创造了“Taikonaut”（太空人）一英文词，并首先在某个网络科技论坛里使用。差不多同时，陈蓝（Chen Lan，音）在其“Go Taikonaut”的网页里使用它。这个词普遍被西方媒体用来称呼中国的太空人。“Taikonaut”由“太空”的汉语拼音“taikōng”和“船员”的英文缩写“naut”（或“航行者”的希腊文“naus”，“宇航员”的英文“Astronaut”删节组成。但在中国官方所发布的稿件中，多半坚持使用更带技术性的名词“航天员”（astronaut），意思为“太空航行者”。自神七升空后，Taikonaut一词开始频繁出现在国外的英语媒体上。显然，这是中文太空的汉语拼音与希腊语航行者（naut）的组合.

2. screenager n.屏幕少年：指的是那些经常坐在电视机和电脑前，对各类技术信息领悟能力较强的年轻人。

不知从什么时候开始，我们的生活中到处都充斥着各种各样的屏幕，电脑屏幕、电视机屏幕、游戏机屏幕、还有手机屏幕，似乎离开了这些屏幕我们的生活就无法正常进行。于是，就有了这么一类人——screenager。

Screenagers are techno-savvy young people, reared on television and computers. The term was coined in 1997 by Douglas Rushkoff in his book Playing the Future. He argues that young people who have used computers and other microchipped devices since infancy will have effortless advantages over their elders in processing information and coping with change when they reach adulthood.

屏幕少年指的是那些经常坐在电视机和电脑前，对各类技术信息领悟能力较强的年轻人。这个说法最初见于道格拉斯?洛西科夫所著名为《游戏未来》的一本书。他指出，从小接触和使用电脑以及其他微芯片装置设备的年轻人成年后在处理信息以及应对变化方面会比他们的上一辈展现明显优势。

It's as if they come into this world with a game controller in one hand and a mouse in the other. They're referred to as generation wired, cyber tots, digital kids and screenagers.

他们好像是一手拿着游戏机控制板，一手拿着鼠标来到这个世界的。他们被称为有线的一代、网络儿童、数码儿童、以及屏幕少年。(Northeast web)

4.phishing: 网上诱骗- -

从拼写上看，这个词可能比较陌生。不过如果念出声后，就会觉得它很象另一个英文单词：fishing。我们先看看下面的介绍：

Phishing, also referred to as brand spoofing（哄骗）or carding, is a variation on “fishing,” the idea being that bait is thrown out with the hopes that while most will ignore the bait, some will

be tempted into biting.

没错，phishing确有fishing一词的含义：钓鱼，引鱼上钩的意思。那么，骗子到底要骗些什么呢？我们再来看看一些具体的介绍：

Creating a replica of an existing Web page to fool a user into submitting personal, financial, or password data.

The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus（伪造的）and set up only to steal the user’s information..

The term phishing comes from the fact that Internet scammers are using increasingly sophisticated lures as they "fish" for users' financial information and password data. The most common ploy is to copy the Web page code from a major site — such as AOL — and use that code to set up a replica page that appears to be part of the company's site. (This is why phishing is also called spoofing.) A fake e-mail is sent out with a link to this page, which solicits the user's credit card data or password. When the form is submitted, it sends the data to the scammer while leaving the user on the company's site so they don't suspect a thing.

原来phishing是一种网上骗术——利用其他的真实网站，伪造一个类似的网站，以便骗取用户的的个人资料：信用卡、银行帐号等密码。

如果一时大意疏忽，轻信了伪造网站的消息，将个人资料输入电脑，其后果可想而知：损失的只能是自己。

5 workaholic的起源及演化.

在1968年，workaholic由work和aholic合成，其中aholic是由alcoholic演化而来，起源于Rodney Dangerfield的幽默“My old man was a workaholic: every time he thought about work, he got drunk（每次想到工作，他就如醉如痴）”。随后-aholic就表示“…狂…痴”。还有其他单词：sugarholic (爱吃糖的1965), golfaholic (爱打高尔夫的1971), chocoholic (爱吃巧克力的1976), and shopaholic (购物狂1984

英语报刊阅读的实践

英语报刊阅读的实践 发表时间：2019-01-07T14:22:54.133Z 来源：《素质教育》2019年2月总第297期作者：罗晓红[导读] 因此，在日常的英语教学中开展泛读活动，从事报刊阅读，既丰富了教学实践，又拓展了学生视野。山西省介休市第一中学校032000 摘要:高中学生阅读能力的培养是英语教学的重中之重。特别是报刊阅读给象牙塔里的学生提供了丰富的资源和新鲜的时事，学生从报刊阅读中受益良多。因此，在日常的英语教学中开展泛读活动，从事报刊阅读，既丰富了教学实践，又拓展了学生视野。 关键词：报刊阅读引导者阅读能力 一、报刊阅读课的具体操作 1.阅读前的准备。（1）让学生在阅读报刊之前做好思想上和心理上的准备，知道开展报刊阅读的目的和意义，知道报刊阅读的实效性。为使学生能积极主动地投身于报刊阅读活动中，教师在活动开展之前应从学生的角度出发，了解学生的需求，帮助他们澄清有关提高阅读理解能力问题的一些模糊认识，纠正一些观念，使其符合新课程理念，符合泛读的要求。（2）划分阅读小组，确立组长，统筹规划。我们将采用小组合作学习的方式，以小组为单位，在组长的带领下，制定学习计划，选择篇目，做出评价标准，检测阅读效果。学生们广泛地搜集资料，积极思考，制定出符合小组内部实际的学习计划。他们共同商议阅读的时间、地点，挑选自己喜欢的篇目。如何评价阅读效果，是一个难点，有的小组规定记读书笔记，有的小组出问题考查，有的小组概括大意，大家的意见精彩纷呈。最后教师结合各个小组的优点，结合实际可操作性，制定了统一的评价标准。评价标准的制定为报刊阅读活动的开展保驾护航。 2.阅读的步骤。（1）选材并阅读。阅读中必须完成每周必读篇目2篇，选读篇目5篇。必读科目由教师指定，选读科目是经小组成员推荐、大家感兴趣的篇目。可以先分头阅读，而后与小组成员分享阅读，解决不理解的地方，也可寻求老师帮助。阅读过程中记下自己感兴趣的词、短语和句子，不可过多，以免违背了阅读活动的初衷。然后跟小组成员讲述文章的中心大意，一方面可以培养学生对阅读材料的理解、分析、判断和综合概括能力，另一方面为学生检查阅读效果提供反馈信息。假如理解有误或理解不全面，小组成员就会帮他纠正或使其完善。在实际操作中我们欣喜地发现，学生们课间谈论的话题就是他们读到的有趣的新闻和时事，他们把阅读报刊看作是学习中的一件乐事，而不是负担。（2）课堂交流。每周教师会抽一节课的时间与学生交流互动，以谈话的方式鼓励学生讲述新闻故事或阐述时事观点。根据学生层次不同，设置相关的提问。学生的表现经常会令我们大吃一惊，他们对世界的探索和好奇在报刊阅读课上体现得淋漓尽致。常常在课堂上，我们教师情不自禁地被学生的叙述感动，与他们分享自己对某事的看法，或者介绍自己最喜爱的文章，共同品味，共同背诵，共同探讨人生。曾经我们遇到一篇哲理散文，读后多数同学都有共鸣，有的同学读了多次直至朗诵，有的自觉地把自己喜欢的句子背诵下来，当作座右铭。这就是阅读带给我们的快乐，这种快乐阅读的体验甚至会影响他的终身学习。（3）知识大比拼。随着学生阅读量的扩充，他们的知识面也扩大了，每个月可以用英语出知识竞猜的题贴在教室，学生可以自由选择参加，教师做出评判，给予一定的奖励（如一支漂亮的笔或其他）。奖励虽小，但这种活动新颖别致，且没有压力，学生愿意尝试。或者灵活多变地处理阅读材料。 二、教师的指导作用 由于泛读材料往往难度高于教材，学生通过思考、合作、竞争，在完成任务中体验成功的愉悦，这可以最大限度地调动学生的积极性，发挥他们的学习潜能。教师在整个阅读活动中起着“导演”的作用，统筹安排，解决困难。 首先要处理学生阅读中遇到的知识性的问题，帮助学生突破长难句；指导学生报刊阅读方法，查阅法、猜测法、略读通览法，指导学生在阅读过程中展开各种思维活动；教会学生应对不同体裁的文章，如阅读记叙文时注意时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果等；阅读应用文、说明文、科普短文时，注意文章段落的主题句、文章的逻辑关系等；阅读新闻报道应注意标题、时空顺序和当事人的评论及思想感情。另外管理好学生，关注他们思想的波澜，克服他们内心的惰性，解决小组合作中的摩擦，大力表扬先进，树立积极的风气。学生对阅读的兴趣要慢慢培养，阅读活动的效果也不是立竿见影的。在活动开始的很长一段时间教师要不断提醒学生，引起学生的足够重视。完全放养的方式不足取，所以要适时地强化巩固，让学生实实在在地感受到自己确实在阅读活动中收获了新知。在越来越强烈的成就感的推动下，他们会主动学习、快乐学习，这样整个泛读活动就达到了最初的目的。 报刊阅读活动采取新型的教学方法，鼓励学生主动获取知识、自主学习。教师不应是活动的主宰和中心，而是学习目标的引导者、学习群体的协作者。教师应当在任务型学习理论的指导下创建丰富的阅读情境，设计合理的激励性的阅读任务，给出积极的学习评价。只有这样才能充分发挥学生的主动性与创造性，提高学生获取信息、分析问题、解决问题的能力，提高他们对学习的兴趣。 参考文献 [1]赵德成著《促进教学的测验与评价》.华东师范大学出版社，2016，7。 [2]查尔斯.菲德尔玛雅.比亚力克等《四个维度的教育》.华东师大出版社。 [3]柳夕浪著《学生综合素质评价——怎么看？怎么办？》.华东师大出版社，2016，01。

Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees. Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way. In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder. The reform will take effect in two directions. State —financed students will begin

Lesson 20 East Versus West 东西方观念和思维的差异 classmates chime in. 同学插话。 That kind of collectivism confirms the commonly held belief that learning by organic induction is more effective than rote memorization. 这种集体主义证实了有机归纳学习比死记硬背更有效的普遍信念。 Why do you find, in a music conservatory, a lot of Asian would-be concert pianists but comparatively few Asian opera-singers-in-training? 为什么在音乐学院会有很多想成为钢琴家的亚洲人，而受训的亚洲歌剧演员却相对较少? There's a physical limit to how many hours a day a person can sing, Nisbett says, but not to how many hours one can practice sonatas. 尼斯贝特说，一个人每天唱歌的时间有生理上的限制，但练习奏鸣曲的时间没有生理上的限制。 He attributes these differences to history. 他将这些差异归因于历史。 East Asian agriculture was a communal venture in which tasks like irrigation and crop rotation had citizens acting in concert. 东亚农业是一种公共事业，其中灌溉和作物轮作等任务需要公民协同行动。 In contrast, Western food production led to more lone-operator farmers and herdsmen. 相比之下，西方食品生产导致了更多的孤独的农民和牧民。 Greek democratic philosophy emphasized the individual; the Reformation stressed a personal connection to God; the Industrial Revolution made heroes of entrepreneurs. 希腊民主哲学强调个人;宗教改革强调个人与上帝的联系;工业革命造就了企业家的英雄。 But in Asia, Confucius said virtue hinged upon appropriate behavior for specific relationships, say, among siblings, neighbors or colleagues. 但在亚洲，孔子说，美德取决于对特定关系的恰当行为，比如在兄弟姐妹、邻居或同事之间。 These tidy generalizations are not without critics. 这些整齐的概括并非没有批评。 A San Francisco State University professor who edits the Journal of Cross-Culture Psychology'', David Matsumoto, holds that while Nisbett attaches his observations to fascinating raw data, he takes some conclusions too far. 旧金山州立大学(San Francisco State University)教授、《跨文化心理学杂志》(Journal of Cross-Culture Psychology)主编大卫?松本(David Matsumoto)认为，尼斯贝特将自己的观察结果与引人入胜的原始数据结合起来，但他的一些结论有些过头了。 "In cross-cultural work researchers are too quick to come up with some deep, dark, mysterious interpretation of a difference with no data to support it," Matsumoto says. "It's difficult to draw one conclusion [from] a snippet of behavior, and that's what this work tends to do." 松本说:“在跨文化研究中，研究人员在没有数据支持的情况下，总是急于对差异

商务英语阅读技巧：文章标题的阅读 在句法结构上，报刊标题通常具有以下特征： 1. 省略定冠词the和不定冠词a / an，如： Company Expects to Take A Charge in Fourth Period 公司预计在第四季度向国家申请贷款 标题中Fourth Period前省略了定冠词the。但是其中Take A Charge为一固定词组，所以a不能省略。 注意：1) 在不定冠词表示“一个”概念时，必须保留。比如：Japan: A Model for What Not to Do 日本：避免不应有失误出现的典范 2) 当词组a few, a little和a half等在标题中出现时，不定冠词不省略，如：Retiring with a half million? Not bad for a teacher 退休时会拥有50万美元？对一位教师来说已很可观 2. 除非会造成误解，否则均省略动词形式to be，如： Accurate forecasts beneficial to economy 这则标题中forecasts后面省略了系动词to be，即are。 3. 用现在时表示过去，如： Mc Donald's Settles Lawsuit over Burn from Coffee 麦当劳有限公司了结了一宗由咖啡烫伤而引起的法律诉讼 4.用不定式形式表示将来，如： American General to Buy Franklin Life for $1.7 Billion 美国通用公司将以17亿美元收购Franklin Life公司 有时也可用现在时表示将来，如： Jeep Hopes to Be Sedan Producer in Future 吉普公司可望将来成为轿车生产厂家 5.用过去分词表示被动语态，如：

美英报刊阅读教程Lesson 1 课文

【Lesson 1 Good News about Racial Progress The remaining divisions in American society should not blind us to a half-century of dramatic change By Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom In the Perrywood community of Upper Marlboro, Md.1, near Washington, D.C., homes cost between $160,000 and $400,000. The lawns are green and the amenities appealing—including a basketball court. Low-income teen-agers from Washington started coming there. The teens were black, and they were not welcomed. The homeowners? association hired off-duty police as security, and they would ask the ballplayers whether they “belonged” in the area. The association? s newsletter noted the “eyesore” at the basketball court. But the story has a surprising twist: many of the homeowners were black t oo. “We started having problems with the young men, and unfortunately they are our people,” one resident told a re porter from the Washington Post. “But what can you do?” The homeowners didn?t care about the race of the basketball players. They were outsiders—in truders. As another resident remarked, “People who don?t live here might not care about things the way we do. Seeing all the new houses going up, someone might be tempted.” It?s a t elling story. Lots of Americans think that almost all blacks live in inner cities. Not true. Today many blacks own homes in suburban neighborhoods—not just around Washington, but outside Atlanta, Denver and other cities as well. That?s not the only common misconception Americans have ab out race. For some of the misinformation, the media are to blame. A reporter in The Wall Street Journal, for instance, writes that the economic gap between whites and blacks has widened. He offers no evidence. The picture drawn of racial relations is even bleaker. In one poll, for instance, 85 percent of blacks, but only 34 percent of whites, agreed with the verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. That racially divided response made headline news. Blacks and whites, media accounts would have us believe, are still separate and hostile. Division is a constant theme, racism another. To be sure, racism has not disappeared, and race relations could —and probably will —improve. But the serious inequality that remains is less a function of racism than of the racial gap in levels of educational attainment, single parenthood and crime. The bad news has been exaggerated, and the good news neglected. Consider these three trends: A black middle class has arrived. Andrew Young recalls the day he was mistaken for a valet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It was an infuriating case of mistaken identity for a man who was then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. But it wasn?t so long ago that most blacks were servants—or their equivalent.

英文报刊阅读小技巧

英文报刊阅读小技巧 报刊是人们了解国内外大事的窗口，尤其是在社会经济文化迅速发展，国际交流日益频繁的今天，报刊的作用就更为突出。在我国，越来越多的读者想利用英文报刊了解国内外时事，开拓视野，增长知识。如何快速而准确地获得英文报刊的信息，已成为广大读者急需解决的问题。为此，本文着重谈谈阅读英文报刊时需注意的几个方面。 首先，必须掌握英文报刊标题的语言特点。标题是新闻报道的点睛之笔，通常以鲜明的黑体大字在文章的抢眼处标出，它既要扣住全文要点，突出中心，又要新颖醒目，其作用不可忽视。但对不少读者来说，首先碰到的问题是：不少标题奇特，无法一看就懂。究竟是什么东西妨碍顺利阅读和准确理解标题呢？原因在于新闻报道作为一种独特的文体，它的文法和用词与一般的书面英语有很大的区别。这一点在标题的使用上显得尤为突出。因此，对英语学习者来说，掌握标题的语言特点，是读懂标题的关键。新闻报道标题的主要特点是短而精，力求删繁就简，具体表现在两个方面：一是省略某些语法功能的虚词；二是标题的时态有其特定的习惯用法。归纳起来，其语言特点见之于下： 1．在不发生歧义的情况下，冠词往往被省略。例如： Boy，7，killed by Ejection From Cockpit of Navy Jet（The Washington Post）Standard English：A Boy，7，killed by Ejection From the Cockpit of a Navy Jet Chinese Population Is Put at 1．3 Billion（International Herald Tribune）Standard English：The Chinese Population Is Put at 1．3 Billion 2．系动词经常被省略。例如： Joblessness Still a Problem（China Daily） Standard English：Joblessness Is Still a Problem Forecast of Mexican quake accurate，but ignored（Science News）Standard English：The Forecast of Mexican quake is accurate，but it is ignored 3．连词、代词、引导词也会省略。例如： Kings，sheiks rap USSR，US（China Daily） Standard English：Kings and sheiks rap USSR and US Anne and baby are well（South China Morning Post） Standard English：Anne and her baby are well Far fewer pitclosures and job losses likely than rumored（The Times）

英语报刊阅读练习(四)

初二英语报刊阅读四 （1） Question : What is more astonishing than a 6000 ton whale on a flatbed truck being driven down the street ? Answer : A 6000 ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and raining blubber (fat of whales ) all over the sidewalk . That’s what happened in Taiwan recently, when a dead sperm whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy (尸体解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up before it reached its destination . The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend, and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan’s shores , scientists wanted to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose . Obviously, too much time passed between when the animal died and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location, because it had already started to go bad .When things rot , they give off gases as a by-product . In the whale’s case , the gases were trapped in its belly . The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it popped like an over-filled balloon . Unfortunately , it was on a truck in the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time; cars and shops lining the street were covered with whale bits an d juices , much to their owners’ discouragement . According to news reports , traffic was tied up for hours while officials tried to clean up the streets . Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to themselves , since they had a ready-made headline; several reports about the inciden t were titled “There She Blows!” after the famous line from the book Moby Dick . 1．The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report is to ______. A．explain the reason B．sell newspapers C．attract readers D．give an immediate answer 2．The whal e’s explosion is the result of _________. A．pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to rot B．the long transport of the creature from the beach to the center C．the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed by D．the quick process of rotting of the animal 3．What is the correct order of the incidents ? a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck . b. The whale was discovered . c. The whale exploded . d. The whale died . A．b; c; a ; d B．d; c; b; a C．b; d; a; c D．d; b; a; c 4．What do we know from the last paragraph ? A．Some newspaper editors were laughed at . B．Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer . C．All the newspapers reported the story under the same title . D．The title “There She Blows!” is taken from the book Moby Dick . （2）

Good policy, and bad Some mitigation policies are effective,some are efficient, and some are neitherDec 3rd 2009 | from the print edition GREENHOUSE-GAS emissions targets can be implemented through three sorts ofpolicy instruments—regulation, carbon-pricing and subsidies. Governmentsgenerally like regulation (because it appears to be cost-free), economists likecarbon prices (because they are efficient) and businesses like subsidies (becausethey get the handouts). Regulation can be useful where the market is not working well.
