【分享】伊索寓言:赫拉克勒斯与雅典娜
Hercules and Pallas
Hercules, once journeying along a narrow roadway, came across a strange-looking animal that reared its head and threatened him. Nothing daunted, the hero gave him a few lusty blows with his club, and thought to have gone on his way. The monster, however, much to the astonishment of Hercules, was now three times as big as it was before, and of a still more threatening aspect. He thereupon redoubled his blows and laid about him fast and furiously; but the harder and quicker the strokes of the club, the bigger and more frightful grew the monster, and now completely filled up the road. Pallas then appeared upon the scene. "Stop, Hercules," said she. "Cease your blows. The monster's name is Strife. Let it alone, and it will soon become as little as it was at first."
GREEN: Because of its association with nature and foliage, green in design can be used almost like a neutralcolour: greens never clash with red or pink roses, yellow sunflowers, lilacsor bluebells.
PURPLE: It’s perhaps the most enigmaticand complex colour, with the range of meanings - from royal to elegant to spiritual to mysterious. Purple is often favoured by very creative and eccentricpeople who are not afraid of appearing daring.
中文的"放洗澡水"在英文里成了 run the bath water 或是 fill the tub。这个 tub 就是指洗澡用的大浴缸。的确差蛮多的吧！这句话如果你妄想照字面直接把中文翻成英文肯定是要失败的。作者: doneast 时间: 2013-1-28 13:33
幼儿学习的心理学研究成果表明，小孩学外语，越早越好。那么到底早到什么程度呢？专家的回答是，从零岁即可以开始。要想教好幼儿的英语，作为父母必须做到以下几点。
AN ASS and a Cock were in a straw-yard together when a Lion, desperate from hunger, approached the spot. He was about to spring upon the Ass, when the Cock (to the sound of whose voice the Lion, it is said, has a singular aversion) crowed loudly, and the Lion fled away as fast as he could. The Ass, observing his trepidation at the mere crowing of a Cock summoned courage to attack him, and galloped after him for that purpose. He had run no long distance, when the Lion, turning about, seized him and tore him to pieces.
AN ARAB CAMEL-DRIVER, after completing the loading of his Camel, asked him which he would like best, to go up hill or down. The poor beast replied, not without a touch of reason: "Why do you ask me? Is it that the level way through the desert is closed?"
A CAT, hearing that the Birds in a certain aviary were ailing dressed himself up as a physician, and, taking his cane and a bag of instruments becoming his profession, went to call on them. He knocked at the door and inquired of the inmates how they all did, saying that if they were ill, he would be happy to prescribe for them and cure them. They replied, "We are all very well, and shall continue so, if you will only be good enough to go away, and leave us as we are."
