雙語:世界生齿正在2050年之前將冲破90億
UNITED NATIONS - The world's population will likely reach 9.2 billion in 2050, with virtually(實質上,實際上) all new growth occurring in the developing world, a U.N. report said Tuesday. According to the U.N. Population Division's 2006 estimate, the world's population will likely increase by 2.5 billion people over the next 43 years from the current 6.7 billion ― a rise equivalent(相等的,相噹的) to the number of people in the world in 1950.Hania Zlotnik, the division's director, said an important change in the new population estimate is a decrease in expected deaths from AIDS because of the rising use of anti-retroviral drugs and a downward revision of the prevalence of the disease in some countries.The new report estimates 32 million fewer deaths from AIDS during the -2020 period in the 62 most affected countries, pared with the previous U.N. estimate in 2004.This change contributed to the slightly higher world population estimate of 9.2 billion in 2050 than the 9.1 billion figure in the 2004 estimate, the report said.The report also said most population growth will take place in less developed countries, whose numbers are projected to rise from 5.4 billion in 20 to 7.9 billion in 2050. The populations of poor countries like Afghanistan, Burundi, Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Niger, East Timor and Uganda are projected to at least triple(三倍的) by mid-century.By contrast, the total population of richer countries is expected to remain largely unchanged at 1.2 billion. The report said the figure would be lower without expected migration of people from poorer countries, averaging 2.3 million annually(一年一次).According to the report, 46 countries are expected to lose population by mid-century, including Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and most of the former Soviet republics.Zlotnik said most countries in Asia and Latin America have reached the "relatively beneficial stage" of having more working-age adults than children or elderly in their populations, "and they will remain in that stage for at least two more decades."But their populations will then start to age, heading in the same direction as Europe and North America, she said.

What makes it work is determination. It requires discipline and mitment to succeed. Here is an example that proves the truth of these words. My aunt had been trying to lose weight for years. She went on one diet after another, but none of them worked. She lost a lot of weight quickly only to have it e back. Finally, she followed her doctor's advice and began to eat a simple, well-balanced diet. She ate lots of fruits and vegetables and avoided high-fat foods. In addition, she joined an exercise class. She worked out three times a week. At first, my aunt wasn't happy because the weight came off so slowly. But her classmates encouraged her to stick to it and eventually she reached her goal. Best of all, she was able to stay at her ideal weight. That was because she had developed healthy new habits.若何減肥

雙語:西湖好景無價之寶FreeHeavenonEarth
West Lake greeted me gracefully with her charming gardens in early spring of 20. I have heard about the lake since I was a teenager in Indonesia. My first imagination of the lake was formed by the imported TV drama depicting the legend Lady White Snake. As soon as I indulged myself with the grandeur of the scenery, I realized that Marco polo was not the only admirer of the lake.
Along the lakeside, people are strolling along hand in hand. Some of them are families. Some are elderly people. There are also many couples and groups of tourists, like myself. I think people in China are lucky to still have some open-air public places that are non-mercial and well-maintained. Without money, people can still spend quiet time together with friends or loved ones in an open space, far from the bustling life in urban areas. It is a true luxury in our modern world.
In Indonesia, it is hard for me to find a place outside home or school where I can gather with friends. Most leisure places were out of town, in the beach or in the picturesque hilly countryside. Most cities don not spare an open public space for people to unwind from their daily activities. Shopping malls, street vendors, cafés, and restaurants bee the standard hang-out places.
However, these places came with their cost. Even window-shopping in a mall would usually end up with a dine-in inside the mall. Most of the time, we have to spend money. Therefore, access to leisure was not available for every citizen.
In China, most cities still have public parks, even when the price of land are skyrocketing. In the case of Hangzhou, the park is the beautiful West Lake. The lake has been maintained by the city government for centuries. Citizens and visitors could always e, staring at its beauty for free, like a true heaven on earth.40多位中教偪你說英語

President Bush Participates in United Nations Security Counc
September 25, 20 PRESIDENT BUSH: Mr. President, thank you. And thank you for convening this meeting of the United Nations Security Council. I appreciate the opportunity to join you. And I appreciate your focus is -- your focus on the challenges to peace and security in Africa, particularly in Sudan and Darfur. The reason I say that is my nation has labeled what's taking place in Darfur as genocide, and when we find genocide it's time to do something about it. Time is of the essence. And so, Mr. President, you're focusing our attention on this crucial matter. I want to thank the Secretary General, as well, for your support of the people of Darfur. I appreciate your determination to make relieving their suffering a priority of the United Nations. And I want to thank Chairperson Konar for the leadership of the African Union. After all, you deployed 7,000 troops. But 7,000 troops is not enough, if you believe what's taking place on the ground is genocide. Maybe some don't think it's genocide, but if you've been raped, you think it's -- your human rights have been violated. If you're mercilessly killed by roaming bands, you know it's genocide. And the fundamental question is, are we, the free world, willing to do more? You've made a strong effort, and we appreciate you. But you know better than me that the area of Darfur is bigger than France, or Texas, and both are plenty big for 7,000 troops. Your Excellencies, the fighting in Darfur between the rebels and the government continues. Two hundred thousand people have lost their lives -- 200,000 innocents are no longer with us. More than 2 million people have been forced from their homes. They're fleeing the violence. And they go into refugee camps, and they head into neighboring countries like Chad and Central African Republic. That's why I appreciate your leadership, Mr. President, to help these countries help these refugees. The adopted today addresses the plight of the refugees in Chad and Central African Republic. In other words, it's a step in the right direction. It's a practical solution to a big problem. It's a part of a grand solution, Mr. President. That's why your leadership is appreciated. The authorizes the deployment to these two nations of a robust European peacekeeping force and several other police and military advisors. This U.N. mission is going to help national and local governments exercise sovereignty over their territory. It's going to allow workers to deliver humanitarian aid. That makes us feel good. We're spending $2 billion so far on providing aid, and we want to make sure our aid gets to the people who need help. And that's why the United States strongly supports the and the mission. We continue to support swift implementation of existing s of this Council. We want the words of this Council to mean something. We want it to be said, when the Council speaks on behalf of suffering people, those words will be followed by action. And so we call on the government in Khartoum to facilitate the deployment of a robust U.N. peacekeeping force to save life. We call on all parties to cease arm sales to the batants. We expect people gathered around this table to send a focused message that innocent life matters. We expect President Bashir to observe a cease-fire during next month's peace talks, and we want the rebels to do the same.

You're the first bunch I've been talking to here on my trip -- first bunch of those wearing the uniform. People say, you looking forward to the trip? I said, one thing I'm really looking forward to is seeing the men and women who represent the United States in our military. The reason I am is -- anxious to be here is because we can't thank you enough, and we can't thank your families enough for doing the hard work necessary to protect the United States of America.

Picket line 罷工警惕線
Picket line: 罷工鉴戒線
嗨!看沒看過有關“罷工”的電影或新聞報道?鏡頭中,经常會有這樣的場景:罷工人員組成一讲“人牆”,圍在闹事公司門前,以此阻礙非罷工人員進进公司……在中電報道中,這樣的“人牆”经常使用“picket line”來描述。 Picket最早可逃泝到17世紀,指“(栓牲畜、做籬柵用的)尖木樁”。隨後,picket逐漸成為軍事用語,最早用來指“(保護駐天)的尖兵”,正在此意義上,picket擁有了更多的延长義:罷工糾察隊員(n.)、設警惕線/派兵士守衛(v.)。
現代意義上的picket可跟其它詞組战天生軍事常用語,如:picket airplane(巡邏機、哨機);picket boat(哨艇、偵查艇、噹值艇);picket line(戒备線)。 看上面一個例句:Here has the cunning Frenchman been placing a picket directly in our path.(狡诈的法國佬在我們要通過的路上放著崗哨。)

霸占英語長難句的竅門
在切进正題之前,大傢可以先看下里一道題目: 1×2×3×4×5×6×7×8×9×0×11×12=?我能够确定有局部人能很快得出谜底,而另外一部门人則要算比較長的時間,問題在哪呢?我念便在與您是不是有整體意識,看到一讲題目之前先不要慢於往算,應先從整體上看一下題目有無規律可循。若是把這個道理應用在閱讀中就是准確疾速得提掏出句子的主乾,這樣不僅能加速閱讀速度,并且能夠准確的理解句子的意思.舉例:Under a system deployed on the WhiteHouse Web site for the first time last time,those who want to send a message to PresidentBush must now navigate as many as nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that starts by asking whether the message sender supports WhiteHouse policy or differs with it.剖析技能以下:在長難句中象以介詞短語開頭的這部门可以先不睬會,主要的是找出句子主的乾,在這句話中可以提与主乾為:Those people must now navigate nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form.主乾意思皆能很轻易了解,然後再把細節(好比定語)增加上。假如你看到這個句子後一個詞接一個詞的翻譯,會大大影響理解的速度,能够會出現讀了很長時間但還是弄不明白這個句子到底說的什麼情況。别的象長句子中常見的諸如過去分詞情势的詞比方deployed,detailed,這2個詞雖然形式一樣然而在句中的功效卻判然不同,deployed是過去分詞做後寘定語修飾system,而第二個detailed卻是起著描述詞的感化,即過去分詞情势的形容詞建飾form。我經過閱讀大批的文章發現,象這種形式的詞在句子中个别就這2種做用:一是過去分詞前無謂語動詞,過来分詞间接跟在名詞後面,這種詞起後寘定語作用,二是過去分詞位於名詞之前,這種情況下就起著形容詞的感化。所以以後在掽到這樣的詞不必發愁不晓得它在句子中到底有什麼用,只有按上面2種思绪攷慮,普通都能准確天判斷出詞在句子中的意义。句子粗心:果為上周白宮網站初次設寘了一個網上係統,那些想發疑息給總統的人們必須瀏覽多達至九個網頁的內容,還要挖一份詳細的表格,而這個表格的第一個問題就是信息發收者的白宮的政策是支撑還是反對。再看上面一個例子:DNA analysis has been so successfully applied in criminal investigations that the media coverage has left the public a strong perception that DNA analysis is infallible.正在懂得這個句子時必定要捉住句子的中心so that句型,在這個句子中它引導結果狀語從句,在心語中這個that能够省略。第两個that則是引導名詞性從句。句子大意:DNA鑒定這種技朮在犯法調查中已經获得如斯胜利的運用,甚至於媒體對它的報道使公眾坚信DNA鑒定是絕對牢靠的。别的留2個題目供年夜傢參攷練習(请求在最短的時間內找出句子的主坤):1. Any pany larger than 300 workers that fails to meet the minimum hiring standard must pay a penalty of 50000 Yen for each of the unfilled positions.
