1.英语趣味小知识

趣味英语小知识 a)Ten animals I slam in a.我把十只动物一网打尽你注意到这句话有什么特别之处吗?对了,无论从左到右,还是从右到左,字母排列顺序都是一样的,英语把这叫做Palindromes回文(指顺读和倒读都一样的词语),关于动物的回文还有以下的例子 Otto saw pup; pup was Otto.(奥托看见了小狗,小狗的名字叫奥托) Was it a car or a cat I saw? Was it a rat I saw?(我刚才看见的是条老鼠?) b)the bee's knees又来形容最好的至高无上的东西。

[例] She is a very poor singer but she thinks she's the bee's knees.(她五音不全却自认为是高高在上的一流歌手。)该表现起源于20年代的美国,仅仅因为bee's和 knees押韵,琅琅上口,迅速得到流传,直到现在,还在日常生活非正式场合的对话中经常使用。

和时间有关的英语趣味小知识(一)时间是金,其值无价 Time is money.(时间就是金钱或一寸光阴一寸金) Time flies.(光阴似箭,日月如梭) Time has wings.(光阴去如飞) Time is a file that wears and makes no noise.(光阴如锉,细磨无声) Time stays not the fool's leisure.(时间不等闲逛的傻瓜) Time and I against any two.(和时间携起手来,一人抵两人) Time is life and when the idle man kills time, he kills himself.(时间就是生命,懒人消耗时间就是消耗自己的生命。或时间就是生命,节省时间,就是延长生命) Time spent in vice or folly is doubly lost.(消磨于恶习或愚行的时间是加倍的损失)(二)时间是风,去而不返 Time undermines us.(光阴暗中催人才。

或莫说年纪小人生容易老) Time and tide wait for no man.(岁月不待人) Time cannot be won again.(时间一去不再来) Time is, time was, and time is past.(现在有时间,过去有时间,时间一去不复返) Time lost can not be recalled.(光阴一去不复返) Time flies like an arrow, and time lost never returns.(光阴似箭,一去不返)(三)时间是尺,万物皆检 Time tries friends as fire tries gold.(时间考验朋友,烈火考验黄金) Time tries truth.(时间检验真理) Time is the father of truth.(时间是真理之父) Time will tell.(时间能说明问题) Time brings the truth to light.(时间使真相大白。或时间一到,真理自明。)

Time and chance reveal all secrets.(时间与机会能提示一切秘密) Time consecrates: what is gray with age bees religion.(时间考验一切,经得起时间考验的就为人所信仰) Time reveals(discloses) all things.(万事日久自明) Time tries all.(时间检验一切)(四)时间是秤,衡量权质 There is no time like the present.(现在正是时候) Take time by the forelock.(把握目前的时机) To choose time is to save time.(选择时间就是节省时间) Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.(今日事,今日毕) Procrastination is the thief of time.(拖延为时间之窃贼) One of these days is none of these days.(拖延时日,终难实现。或:改天改天,不知哪天) Tomorrow never es.(明天无尽头,明日何其多) What may be done at any time will be done at no time.(常将今日推明日,推到后来无踪迹)(五)时间是水,淘金流沙 Time works wonders.(时间可以创造奇迹或时间的效力不可思议) Time works great changes.(时间可以产生巨大的变化) Times change.(时代正在改变)英语趣味小知识(2)——你会犯这样的错误吗?你会犯这样的错误吗?英语有时候真是莫名其妙,你觉得你明明懂了,可实际上你又没有懂。

所以,今天我想讲几件轶事,都是因为没有理解听到看到的东西而闹出的笑话。也许,从他们的经验中,你也可以学到一些东西。

第一个故事发生在秘鲁,一位美国妇女在餐馆里用餐。她问服务员: Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands?服务员把她带到洗手间,可不巧,正有一些工人在粉刷洗手间的墙壁。

工人们一看有人要用洗手间,就准备离开。服务员拦住他们,说: That's Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands.在英语里,wash my hands实际上是上厕所的委婉说法。

那个服务员按照字面意思理解,结果闹了笑话。还有一次,一个留学生在国外的学校第一天上学,心里又兴奋又紧张。

一个美国人见到一张新面孔,为了表示友好,就问: Hi! What's the good word?留学生一听到这个,立刻傻眼了,他想, My God! I don't know the good word. I've studied English for years, but no one told me about the good word!他犹豫再三,想,反正我也不知道,就问问他好了。于是他吞吞吐吐地问: Hello. What's the good word?老美听了,很随意地说: Oh, not much.这下,这个留学生就更吃惊了!原来,What's the good word?在美语里,是一句问候语,意思是“你还好吗?”但问话的人并不指望你把遇到的高兴的事情都一一告诉他,只是打个招呼而已。

但这个留学生以为对方真的在问什么是Good word,所以闹了笑话,不过还好,也算给他歪打正着了。下面的故事就更有意思了。

一次,一个美国公司的管理人员给公司一个驻外分部发了一份。

英国简单英语小知识

1.关于英国或英语的文化常识

英语姓名的一般结构为:教名+自取名+姓。如 William Jafferson Clinton。

但在很多场合中间名往往略去不写,如 George Bush,而且许多人更喜欢用昵称

取代正式教名,如 Bill Clinton。上述教名和中间名又称个人名。现将英语民族

的个人名、昵称和姓氏介绍如下:

I.个人名

按照英语民族的习俗,一般在婴儿接受洗礼的时候,由牧师或父母亲朋为其

取名,称为教名。以后本人可以在取用第二个名字,排在教名之后。

英语个人名的来源大致有以下几种情况:

1.采用圣经、希腊罗马神话、古代名人或文学名著中的人名作为教名。

2.采用祖先的籍贯,山川河流,鸟兽鱼虫,花卉树木等的名称作为教名。

3.教名的不同异体。

4.采用(小名)昵称。

5.用构词技术制造新的教名,如倒序,合并。

6.将母亲的娘家姓氏作为中间名。

英语民族常用的男子名有:James, John, David, Daniel, Michael,常见的

女子名为:Jane, Mary, Elizabeth, Ann, Sarah, Catherine.

II.昵称

昵称包括爱称、略称和小名,是英语民族亲朋好友间常来表示亲切的称呼,

是在教名的基础上派生出来的。通常有如下情况:

1.保留首音节。如 Donald=>Don, Timothy=>Tim.如果本名以元音开头,

则可派生出以'N'打头的昵称,如:Edward=>Ned.

2.+ie或-y如:Don=>Donnie, Tim=>Timmy.

3.采用尾音节,如:Anthony=>Tony, Beuben=>Ben.

4.由一个教名派生出两个昵称,如:Andrew=>Andy& Drew.

5.不规则派生法,如:William的一个昵称是 Bill.

III.姓氏

英国人在很长的一段时间里只有名而没有姓。直到16世纪姓氏的使用才广泛

流行开来。英语姓氏的词源主要有:

1.直接借用教名,如 Clinton.

2.在教名上加上表示血统关系的词缀,如后缀-s,-son,-ing;前缀 M'-, Mc-,

Mac-, Fitz-等均表示某某之子或后代。

3.在教名前附加表示身份的词缀,如 St.-, De-, Du=, La-, Le-.

4.放映地名,地貌或环境特征的,如 Brook, Hill等。

5.放映身份或职业的,如:Carter, Smith.

6.放映个人特征的,如:Black, Longfellow.

7.借用动植物名的,如 Bird, Rice.

8.由双姓合并而来,如 Burne-Jones.

英语姓氏虽然出现较教名晚,但数量要多得多。常用的有:Smith, Miller,

Johnson, Brown, Jones, Williams.

IV.几点说明

1.较早产生的源于圣经,希腊罗马神话的教名通常不借用为姓氏。

2.英国人习惯上将教名和中间名全部缩写,如 M. H. Thatcher;美国人则习惯

于只缩写中间名,如 Ronald W. Reagan。

3.在姓名之前有时还要有人际称谓,如职务军衔之类。Dr., Prof., Pres.可以

用于姓氏前或姓名前;而Sir仅用于教名或姓名前。

2.求一篇描写英国的英语小短文,简单点的

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland(UK) was created by the Act of Union 1800 and constitutes the greater part of the British Isles, a group of islands lying off the northwest coast of Europe. The largest of the islands is Great Britain, which prises England, Wales and Scotland. Next largest is Ireland, prising Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, and, in the south, the Republic of Ireland.

Culture in the United Kingdom is rich and diverse, with a strong tradition of literature, theatre, popular and orchestral music and the performing arts. These, together with collections in UK museums and galleries, act as a mag for overseas visitors and make a substantial contribution to the economy. According to economic estimates made by the Department for Culture,Media and Sport(DCMS), the creative industries accounted for nearly 8 per cent of UK gross domestic product in 2000, and provided nearly 2 million jobs in December 2001.

6.关于英国或英语的文化常识

英国维多利亚时代公元1840年,英国贝德芙公爵夫人安娜女士,每到下午时刻就意兴阑珊、百无无聊,心想此时距离穿著正式、礼节繁复的晚餐Party还有段时间,又感觉肚子有点饿了,就请女仆准备几片烤面包、奶油以及茶。

后来安娜女士邀请几位知心好友伴随着茶与精致的点心,同享轻松惬意的午后时光,没想到一时之间,在当时贵族社交圈内蔚为风尚,名媛仕女趋之若鹜;一直到今天,已俨然形成一种优雅自在的下午茶文化,也成为正统的“英国红茶文化”,这也是所谓的《维多利亚下午茶》的由来。

最初只是在家中用高级、优雅的茶具来享用茶,后来渐渐的演变成招待友人欢聚的社交茶会,进而衍生出各种礼节,但现在形式已简化不少。虽然下午茶现在已经简单化,但是茶正确的冲泡方式、喝茶的摆设要优雅、丰盛的茶点,这三点则被视为吃茶的传统而继续流传下来。

营造全然的维多利亚式气氛

在英国的维多利亚式下午茶传统里,以家中最好的房间(如Solon)、及最好的瓷器接待来宾是绝对必要的,而上等的茶品与精致的点心则是下午茶的主角;悠扬的古典音乐来陪衬,加上轻松自在的心情与知心好友共度一个优雅、悠哉的午后。

正统英式维多利亚下午茶的生活文化内涵

英国在维多利亚女皇时代(公元1837~1901)是大英帝国最强盛的时代,文化艺术蓬勃发展;人们醉心于追求艺术文化的内涵及精致生活品味。

维多莉亚下午茶是一门综合的艺术,简朴却不寒酸,华丽却不庸俗…虽然喝茶的时间与吃的东西(指纯英式点心)是正统英式下午茶最重要的一环,但是少了好的茶品、磁器、音乐、甚至好心情,则喝下午茶就显得美中不足了。

随着时代的进步及茶类的种类繁多,不但下午茶的花样多,选择也多,如果利用一个午后,和亲密的朋友来段午后之约,何尝不是件赏心悦目的事。

中国考古学奠基人之一夏鼐

Xia Nai(formerly romanized as Hsia Nai; 1910–1985) was a pioneering Chinese archaeologist. He was born in Wenzhou, southern Zhejiangprovince, and majored in economic history at the elite Tsinghua University in Beijing(BA, 1934), winning a scholarship to study abroad. He went to University College London and studied Egyptology earning a doctorate that was finally awarded to him in 1946.

Great Wall future more secureBEIJING- Mongol hordes, Japanese soldiers and Red Guards-- China's Great Wall has seen them all off in its more than 2,000-year history.Today, tourists, ravers and newly rich Beijingers on weekend jaunts are pounding parts of the wall to dust.But a new law which came into effect on December 1, has left one campaigner hopeful about the wall's future."I'm optimistic about this century. The next 30 years are going to be a period where destruction of the wall is going to be much, much less," said William Lindesay, founder and director of International Friends of the Great Wall."I've seen more sites being reconstructed in an authentic way, and also I've discovered hope with local people and also determination amongst local officials," he told the Foreign Correspondents' Club in Beijing on Friday."They've realized that people e to China, and top of the list is the Great Wall of China," said the British geographer, who has just finished a project documenting how the wall has changed since the first pictures of it were taken 135 years ago.The pressures on the wall are enormous.Lindesay said that some parts now receive more visitors a month than they saw in the past three centuries bined."Finally I think the government's realized that the Great Wall is perceived by ordinary people as one of the great things of China," he said.The Great Wall, which snakes its way across more than 6,400 km(4,000 miles), receives an estimated 10 million visitors a year, many to the 10 km segment open to tourists at Badaling, the nearest stretch to Beijing.The wall, which the United Nations listed as a World Heritage Site in 1987, has been rebuilt many times through the centuries, and many sections of it have suffered serious damage from weather erosion and human destruction.Visitors climb wilder, crumblier sections that are not officially open to the public and some stretches have bee popular sites for summer raves."The last century couldn't have been much worse," Lindesay said."Even into the 1990s I have seen farmers with hoes di*** antling towers, putting the bricks in their baskets to carry downhill to build pig sties and outhouses and toilets."Last month, police said three people had used excavators to take earth from the remains of part of the wall in Inner Mongolia to use as landfill for a village factory.The village head protested that it was"just a pile of earth," state media reported.The new law means that now people taking earth or bricks from the Great Wall can be fined up to 500,000 yuan($63,950).In another sign that the government was finally taking conservation seriously, Lindesay said the Badaling stretch-- so touristy it even has a Starbucks-- would undergo a radical facelift, with all development having to move 3 km back."It's not going to be easy," he said."The greatness of the Great Wall is its totality. If the gaps get larger, it's not such a great wall."。

7.高中关于建筑学或考古学的英语作文

archaeology is a source of history, not just a bumble auxiliary discipline. archaeological data are historical documents in their own right, not mere illustrations to written texts, just as much as any other historian, an archaeologist studies and tries to reconstitute the process that has created the human world in which we live- and us ourselves in so far as we are each creatures of our age and social environment.

archaeological data are all changes in the material world resulting from human action or, more succinctly, the fossilized results of human behavior. the sum total of these constitutes what may be called the archaeological record. this record exhibits certain peculiarities and deficiencies the consequences of which produce a rather superficial contrast between archaeological history and the more familiar kind based upon written records. not all human behavior fossilizes. the words i utter and you hear as vibrations in the air are certainly human changes in the material world and may be of great historical significance. yet they leave no sort of trace in the archaeological records unless they are captured by a dictaphone or written down by a clerk. the movement of troops on the battlefield may"change the course of history," but this is equally ephemeral from the archaeologist's standpoint. what is perhaps worse, most organic materials are perishable.

everything made of wood, hide, wool, linen, grass, hair, and similar materials will decay and vanish in dust in a few years or centuries, save under very exceptional conditions. in a relatively brief period the archaeological record is reduce to mere scraps of stone, bone, glass, metal, and earthenware. still modern archaeology, by applying appropriate techniques and parative methods, aided by a few lucky finds from peat-bogs, deserts, and frozen soils, is able to fill up a good deal of the gap.
