第一篇:元旦的英文简介

元旦的英文简介:

Yuandan is the first day of the lunar calendar.It is the day when the earth has circled the sun for one round and is beginning another circling.It represents a new beginning when people send off the old days and welcome the new ones.As the first day of the year, Yuandan has been considered to be the most important festival since the ancient times.Customs

1.Kaisui(beginning of the year): According to the Chinese traditional custom, starting from haishi(9p.m.to 11p.m.)of the last evening of the twelfth lunar month, each family must prepare offering s to deities at the altar.At the same time, they too prepare food for the New Year day: The whole family will then stay awake together to attend to the year(called shou sui).After haishi, zishi(11p.m.to 1a.m.)will come, and this is the arrival of New Year(Yuandan).At this moment, people begin the celebration with fireworks.Vegetarian and sweet foods will then be placed are the altar for offerings, and incense be burned to welcome the deities.In the ancient times, it was believed that haishi connected the two years and thus was called kaisui.At the same night, some families will follow the instruction in Tongshu and place preparing altar in the direction of the “fortune deity” during the “fortune time” to receive the deity.If the direction of the “fortune deity” is at the “ill position”, people will choose to receive “happy deity” or “noble deity” instead.2.There is an apparent difference in the custom of food taking on Yuandan between the Chinese in the northern and southern regions.The northern Chinese has the habit of taking jiao zi(dumpling made of flour with vegetable and meat wrapped inside).Some people may put a sweet or a coin inside jiao zi, hoping to have a sweet year after tasting the sweet and a wealthy year after tasting the coin.on the other hand, the southern Chinese have the taboo for killing on Yuandan.Therefore, they do not take meat in tee morning of Yuandan, so as to avoid bloodshed or mutual slaughter.In order to evade misfortune, they have the first meal of this day without meat.Instead, they take vegetarian food for the sake of virtue.3.What is special during the New Year is that parents or elders will distribute red packets(ang pao or ya sui qian)to the children.People in the ancient times were more particular in giving away the red packets: the distribution took place on the eve of New Year so that the kids could suppress the past year and enter the New Year.Ya sui has the meaning of overcoming the unpredictable future.Representing the wishes for the healthy psychological growth of the children, ya sui qian symbolises the elders' hope to see their children overcome all the unpredictable elements brought by the “year”.4.There is an extraordinary number of taboos on Yuandan.Each place has its own customs of taboo.Here, we will mention only a few common taboos in Fujian Province, Guangdong Province and Southeast Asia:

In the past, people commonly believed that fortune was hidden in the house.So, wsweeping of floor must be done in the direction moving inwards, and there was no clearance of rubbish at night.Particularly on the New Tear day, in order to keep fortune from flowing out, there was no sweeping.Some families kept this taboo until the fifth or even the fifteenth day.If anything was broken, the pieces were wrapped up in order not to let the fortune slip away and were disposed only the fifth day.Yuandan(in more serious families, the period extends from the 1st to the 15th day)marks the new beginning.In the hope that New Year brings good beginning, people should utter neither unkind words nor vulgar language.Making noises, fighting, quarreling and especially weeping are avoided to deter misfortune.There are even taboos of taking medicine and having sneeze, for it is believed that they can lead to sickness throughout the year.Taboos of the past also concerned the use of knife and the breaking of things.If a thing was broken, the word “break” or any other word importing similar meaning was not used.Instead, words like “failing to the floor and blossoming like flowers” which delivered pleasant senses were used to suggest good connections.On Yuandan, neither lending and nor giving of money to others is done so that there will be no out-flowing of money during the year.There is also the saying that if a male sleeps in the afternoon, his career will breakdown, and if a female has an afternoon nap, the kitchen will collapse.5.Ancient rite: In the past, there was a rite called he zheng(proper greeting)during New Year.When a person paid a New Year visit to friends or relatives, he took along a piece of paper or card on which the name of the host was written wit Chinese brush.The receiver of this greeting card would normally paste it on the wall of his main hall to show his respect to and appreciation for the visitor.The quantity of greeting card received reflected the person's public relationship with others, while the names and status of the people who gave the greeting cards indicated the host's boundary of social network and standard of living.Nowadays, because of easy communication, convenient transportation system and wider social network, when people send their greetings they tend to follow the Western style.The greeting is now done by mail and even by email.Today, he zheng is done by simply bringing along red packets and food presents when making a visit.To be in line with the custom of to giving away money on the first day, families in some places do not pay New Year call to others.Instead, the whole family simply goes out to enjoy themselves or stayed at home for family happiness.6.In the past, there was a superstition that when a person left his house in the New Year, he must take the correct first step.A particular person would look for the fortunate direction in accordance with the day, month and year of this birth basing on the explanation of Chinese calendar.On Yuan Dan, when a person stepped out of his house, he must go in the fortunate direction and avoid the unfortunate direction.Even people of less particularity also consulted Chinese calendar to find out where the fortunate directions and fierce deities were before the first step out of their houses.Meaning

From the above mentioned customs, we can see that there are especially many taboos during Chinese New Year.On Yuan Dan in particular, there are more taboos on speech and behaviour than those on other ordinary days.Similarly, there are more activities in pursuit of good cause than usual.On probing the activities and taboos, we have no difficulty to understand that the theme behind is always related to fortune, wealth and goodness, and that people usually concern themselves with a good beginning for the year.Some taboos may look superstitious on the surface, but they do produce efficacy.If we practise them circumspectively, they will yield practical results.For example, the prohibition of bad words, quarrel, weeping and crying, together with the emphasis on thinking positively even when things are broken, provide some normative rules for people to follow.This gives people the opportunity to mend their ways, to develop good attitudes, and to form a habit of thinking positively and looking at the good side of things.The prohibition of sweeping and disposing the rubbish in the first five days forces people to arrange their things and clear away the rubbish properly at the end of each year, so that no unwanted things will be carried forward to the new year.At the same time, the taboo also compels people to learn to be thrifty.This is because to prevent accumulated things from becoming rubbish, people must be careful in the use of any paper or other things, and thus avoid waste of things.The avoidance of medicine and sneeze on the first day looks like a joke and is absurd as far as the patient is concerned.However, because of the taboos, people will be conscious enough to take serious care of their health during the windy and snowing season.Thus, they will avoid falling sick in the New Year and wasting away the precious spring hours.Nowadays, people have abandoned the custom of bringing along greeting cards when they go for New Year house visits.However, Chinese Malaysians still maintain the habit of sending New Year greeting cards by post before the New Year.There are even non-Chinese sending New Year greeting cared in English or Malay languages to their Chinese friends.Moreover, the Chinese like to use colourful New Year cared to decorate their houses, so as to strengthen the New Year atmosphere.Like the ancient days' greeting cards for he zheng which were displayed in the main hall, these modern New Year cards also reflect the social position of the persons who receive the cards.Thus, in the way, the ancient rite of he zheng has developed in Malaysia with a Malaysian colour.Yuandan is the first day of the lunar calendar.It is the day when the earth has circled the sun for one round and is beginning another circling.It represents a new beginning when people send off the old days and welcome the new ones.As the first day of the year, Yuandan has been considered to be the most important festival since the ancient times.Customs

第三篇:元旦英文诗

A Dinosaur for Christmas

A dinosaur for Christmas is the only thing I need.It doesn't matter if it's slow or one that's built for speed.A massive one, a tiny one or one that's in between.A dinosaur that's muddy brown or bright and shiny green.I don't care if it's big and tall or really old and ugly.I don't care if it's rough and tough or soft and cute and snuggly.A spiny one will do the trick.A scaly one is fine.As long as it's a living, breathing dinosaur, and mine.I promise if you bring me one I'll never ask for more, That's all I want for Christmas: just one single dinosaur.On Going Home For Christmas

He little knew the sorrow that was in his vacant chair;

He never guessed they'd miss him, or he'd surely have been there;He couldn't see his mother or the lump that filled her throat,Or the tears that started falling as she read his hasty note;And he couldn't see his father, sitting sor-rowful and dumb,Or he never would have written that he thought he couldn't come.He little knew the gladness that his presence would have made, And the joy it would have given, or he never would have stayed.He didn't know how hungry had the little mother grown Once again to see her baby and to claim him for her own.He didn't guess the meaning of his visit Christmas Day Or he never would have written that he couldn't get away.He couldn't see the fading of the cheeks that once were pink, And the silver in the tresses;and he didn't stop to think

How the years are passing swiftly, and next Christmas it might be There would be no home to visit and no mother dear to see.He didn't think about it--I'll not say he didn't care.He was heedless and forgetful or he'd surely have been there.Just sit down and write a letter--it will make their heart strings hum With a tune of perfect gladness--if you'll tell them that you'll come.? Dear Santa, Here's My Christma

Dear Santa, here's my Christmas list.I hope you'll bring it all.I've only asked for gifts my parents can't find at the mall.I'd like to have a UFO, with aliens inside, and maybe a Tyrannosaurus Rex that I could ride.A ninety-nine foot robot is a present I could use.I'll also need a time machine, and rocket-powered shoes.Please bring a gentle genie who will grant my every wish, and don't forget a wizard's wand, and, yes, a talking fish.Of course, I'll need a unicorn, and won't you please provide a dragon, and a castle in the English countryside.Of course, the weight of all these things might cause your sleigh to crash.If that's the case, dear Santa, please feel free to just bring cash.A Psalm of Life

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream!for the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem.Life is real!Life is earnest!And the grave is not its goal;Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul.Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way;But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day.Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Fneral marches to the grave.In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattlt!Be a hero in the strife!Thrust no future,howe'er pleasant!Let the dead Past bury its dead!Act-act in the living Present!Heart within, and God o'erhead!Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And , departing , leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time;Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.Let us , then, be up and doing, With a heart for any face;Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labour and to wait.THE NEW YEAR 新 年

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,(响吧,狂暴的钟,向着狂野的天空,)The flying cloud, the frosty light:(向着乱云,向着寒光。)The year is dying in the night;(这一年即将在今夜逝去,)

Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.(响吧,狂暴的钟,让他消亡。)

Ring out the old, ring in the new,(钟声送旧,钟声迎新,)

Ring, happy bells, across the snow:(响吧,幸福的钟,响彻皑皑白雪。)The year is going, let him go;(这一年即将离去,让他去吧。)Ring out the false, ring in the true.(钟声送伪,钟声迎真。)

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,(钟声送走揪心的痛苦,)

For those that here we see no more;(为了我们不能再见的人,)Ring out the feud of rich and poor,(钟声送走贫富间的宿怨,)Ring in redress to all mankind.(钟声迎来全人类的祥和。)A Forever Friend 永远的朋友

“A friend walk in when the rest of the world walks out.” "别人都走开的时候,朋友仍与你在一起。”

Sometimes in life, 有时候在生活中,You find a special friend;你会找到一个特别的朋友;

Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.他只是你生活中的一部分内容,却能改变你整个的生活。

Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;他会把你逗得开怀大笑;

Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.他会让你相信人间有真情。

Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.他会让你确信,真的有一扇不加锁的门,在等待着你去开启。

This is Forever Friendship.这就是永远的友谊。

when you're down, 当你失意,and the world seems dark and empty, 当世界变得黯淡与空虚,Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.你真正的朋友会让你振作起来,原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。

Your forever friend gets you through the hard times,the sad times,and the confused times.你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。

If you turn and walk away, 你转身走开时,Your forever friend follows, 真正的朋友会紧紧相随,If you lose you way, 你迷失方向时,Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.真正的朋友会引导你,鼓励你。

Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.真正的朋友会握着你的手,告诉你一切都会好起来的。

And if you find such a friend, 如果你找到了这样的朋友,You feel happy and complete, 你会快乐,觉得人生完整,Because you need not worry, 因为你无需再忧虑。

Your have a forever friend for life, 你拥有了一个真正的朋友,And forever has no end.永永远远,永无止境。

第四篇:乔布斯英文简介

乔布斯英文简介

乔布斯的辞世对整个世界来说都是一种遗憾,但对于乔布斯本人来说,也算是完美的谢幕,戛然而止,更是永恒的不朽!!今天,大嘴外教老师为大家分享乔布斯简介英文版,及乔布斯英文简介的中文翻译,希望乔布斯精彩的一生会对各位朋友们有所启发。

NOBODY else in the computer industry, or any other industry for that matter, could put on a show like Steve Jobs.His product launches, at which he would stand alone on a black stage and conjure up a “magical” or “incredible” new electronic gadget in front of an awed crowd, were the performances of a master showman.All computers do is fetch and shuffle numbers, he once explained, but do it fast enough and “the results appear to be magic”.He spent his life packaging that magic into elegantly designed, easy to use products.到目前为止,世界上还没有哪个计算机行业或者其他任何行业的领袖能够像乔布斯那样举办出一场万众瞩目的盛会。在每次苹果推出新产品之时,乔布斯总是会独自站在黑色的舞台上,向充满敬仰之情的观众展示出又一款“充满魔力”而又“不可思议”的创新电子产品来,他的发布方式充满了表演的天赋。计算机所做的无非是计算,但是经过他的解释和展示,高速的计算就“仿佛拥有了无限的魔力”。乔布斯终其一生都在将他的魔力包装到了设计精美、使用简便的产品当中去。

He had been among the first, back in the 1970s, to see the potential that lay in the idea of selling computers to ordinary people.In those days of green-on-black displays, when floppy discs were still floppy, the notion that computers might soon become ubiquitous seemed fanciful.But Mr Jobs was one of a handful of pioneers who saw what was coming.Crucially, he also had an unusual knack for looking at

computers from the outside, as a user, not just from the inside, as an engineer—something he attributed to the experiences of his wayward youth.乔布斯早在20世纪70年代便已经看到了向普通大众出售计算机这块业务的潜力。在当年世界还在使用绿黑相间的屏幕、5寸软盘的时代,让电脑成为家家户户必备的设备似乎还是一个遥不可及的梦想。但是乔布斯是少数几位具有远见卓识的先驱之一。而更为重要的是,乔布斯拥有一个不寻常的本领,即他不仅会从工程开发人员的角度从内审视电脑,同时他还会从用户的角度来从外界观察人们对电脑的需求——他将这一本领归功于他自己任性的青年时代。

Mr Jobs caught the computing bug while growing up in Silicon Valley.As a teenager in the late 1960s he cold-called his idol, Bill Hewlett, and talked his way into a summer job at Hewlett-Packard.But it was only after dropping out of college, travelling to India, becoming a Buddhist and experimenting with psychedelic drugs that Mr Jobs returned to California to co-found Apple, in his parents’ garage, on April Fools’ Day 1976.“A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very perse experiences,” he once said.“So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions.” Bill Gates, he

suggested, would be “a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger”.乔布斯从小在硅谷长大,使得他从小便有机会耳濡目染到计算机的世界。在20世纪60年代末,他有幸认识了自己心目中的偶像比尔·休利特(Bill Hewlett),并成功地为自己获得了到休利特创办的惠普做暑期兼职的机会。此后他在读了1年大学后辍学、前往印度、开始笃信佛教并尝试了迷幻药剂,最终他选择回到了加利福尼亚州并与好友联合创办了苹果。他的公司于1976年的愚人节当天在他的父母的车库里正式开张。他曾经表示:“很多在我们这个行业的人都没有过如此复杂的经历,因此他们没有足够的经验来推出

非线性的解决方案。”他表示比尔·盖斯“如果在年轻的时候吸吸迷幻药或者经常去花天酒地一下的话,他的眼界肯定将会更加开阔。”

Dropping out of his college course and attending calligraphy classes instead had, for example, given Mr Jobs an apparently useless love of typography.But support for a variety of fonts was to prove a key feature of the Macintosh, the pioneering mouse-driven, graphical computer that Apple launched in 1984.With its windows, icons and menus, it was sold as “the computer for the rest of us”.Having made a fortune from Apple’s initial success, Mr Jobs expected to sell “zillions” of his new machines.But the Mac was not the mass-market success Mr Jobs had hoped for, and he was ousted from Apple by its board.例如乔布斯从大学辍学并去参加了书法班,使得乔布斯对排版产生了浓厚的兴趣。但是他学习各种字体的目的却是使之成为麦金塔(Macintosh)系统的核心卖点,这款由苹果于1984年推出的电脑产品还具有开拓了鼠标驱动、图形优化的特性。其中的窗口、图标以及菜单等用户友好的界面和功能被外界视为一款“给大众使用的电脑”。乔布斯在通过苹果挖得了第一桶金子之后,便期望着通过未来新的机型获得“数以亿计”的收益。但是Mac并没有像乔布斯的想象那样大获成功,而他自己也被苹果踢出了董事会。

Yet this apparently disastrous turn of events turned out to be a blessing: “the best thing that could have ever happened to me”, Mr Jobs later called it.He co-founded a new firm, Pixar, which specialised in computer graphics, and NeXT, another computer-maker.His remarkable second act began in 1996 when Apple, having lost its way, acquired NeXT, and Mr Jobs returned to put its technology at the heart of a new range of Apple products.And the rest is history: Apple launched the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad, and(briefly)became the world’s most valuable listed company.“I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple,” Mr Jobs said in 202_.When his failing health

forced him to step down as Apple’s boss in 202_, he was hailed as the greatest chief executive in history.Oh, and Pixar, his side project, produced a string of hugely successful animated movies.然而塞翁失马焉知非福,乔布斯在多年以后谈到被踢出苹果董事会这件事情的时候表示,“这是我人生经历当中最令人高兴的一件事。”他在离开苹果后又联合创办了皮克斯动画公司(Pixar),专攻电脑动画业务;并又创办了另外一家从事电脑产品生产的企业NeXT。他于苹果在1996年陷入困境的时候再度出山,在苹果收购了NeXT之后再度将自己的创意注入到了苹果的系列产品当中。之后的历史便成为了经典:苹果先后推出了iMac、iPod、iPhone以及iPad,并且很快便成为了全世界市值最高的企业之一。乔布斯在202_年表示:“我敢肯定,如果苹果当年没有开除我的话,这一切都不会发生。”直到他于202_年8月由于健康原因辞去CEO职务之前,他一直被外界视为最杰出的CEO。而皮克斯作为乔布斯的一个副业产品,也为大众带来了大量精彩的动画电影。

In retrospect, Mr Jobs was a man ahead of his time during his first stint at Apple.Computing’s early years were dominated by technical types.But his emphasis on design and ease of use gave him the edge later on.Elegance, simplicity and an understanding of other fields came to matter in a world in which computers are fashion items, carried by everyone, that can do almost anything.“Technology alone is not enough,” said Mr Jobs at the end of his speech introducing the iPad, in January 202_.“It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing.” It was an unusual statement for the head of a technology firm, but it was vintage Steve Jobs.回顾乔布斯的一生,乔布斯早在开发出第一款苹果电脑时便已经远远地走在了时代的前沿。早年的计算机技术主要是强调技术,而乔布斯则率先关注了设计以及使用的便捷性,这也为他在后来推出产品的特性奠定了基础。在他心目当中,电脑应该是一款优雅、简洁并且可以轻松方便地用来了解世界的时尚产品,而大众应该人手一份,同时可以用它来做任何事情。乔布斯在202_年1月发布iPad时,在演说收尾时指

出:“单靠科技是远远不够的,必需要让科技与人文科学以及人性相结合,其成果必需能够让用户产生共鸣。”这段台词对于科技业的领袖来说十分不可思议,但是如果了解了乔布斯的背景的话,这也不难理解他为何会如此表述了。

His interdisciplinary approach was backed up by an obsessive attention to detail.A carpenter making a fine chest of drawers will not use plywood on the back, even though nobody will see it, he said, and he applied the same approach to his products.“For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.” He insisted that the first Macintosh should have no internal cooling fan, so that it would be silent—putting user needs above engineering convenience.He called an Apple

engineer one weekend with an urgent request: the colour of one letter of an on-screen logo on the iPhone was not quite the right shade of yellow.He often wrote or rewrote the text of Apple’s advertisements himself.他将自己把不同行业和学科集成的思维归功于自己关注细节。他表示,“为了让自己能够睡个好觉,我必须确保所有产品的外观美学、设备质量都必须一丝不苟地完成。”他在开发第一台麦金塔电脑的时候曾经强烈要求电脑不能内置冷却扇,以确保电脑运行的时候能够足够安静——他将用户的需求凌驾于了工程设计之上。他还曾经命令一位苹果的工程师花一个周末的时间加班解决iPhone的屏幕上一个字母的颜色不显示精确的问题。同时他还会经常自己撰写或者修改苹果的广告文字。

His on-stage persona as a Zen-like mystic notwithstanding, Mr Jobs was an autocratic manager with a fierce temper.But his egomania was largely justified.He eschewed market researchers and focus groups, preferring to trust his own instincts when evaluating potential new products.“A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them,” he said.His judgment proved uncannily accurate: by the end of his career the hits far outweighed the misses.Mr Jobs was said by an engineer in

the early years of Apple to emit a “reality distortion field”, such were his powers of persuasion.But in the end he changed reality, channelling the magic of computing into products that reshaped music, telecoms and media.The man who said in his youth that he wanted to “put a ding in the universe” did just that.乔布斯在公众场合上是一个如禅宗一般神秘的人物。他是一个专制而脾气暴躁的经理人。但是他是有狂妄的本钱的。他在评估和开发潜在新产品的时候总是拒绝使用市场调研以及观察机构,而更乐意相信他自己的直觉。他表示:“很多情况下,人们在见到一件新事物之前是很难说出自己到底想要什么的。”而他的观点在大多数情况下毫无疑问是正确的:在他的职业生涯中,他的成功远远超过了失败。一位苹果的早期员工称乔布斯拥有“屏蔽现实”的本领,以便追寻自己的内心直觉,但是最终他却能够改变现实,通过魔法般的手段重塑了电脑与音乐、通讯以及媒体的关系。乔布斯在年轻的时候曾经表示“希望能够做出一番让宇宙为之一震的事业。”而他也的确做到了。
