第二篇：英語(yǔ)生活報(bào)告

2012-2013生活部工作匯報(bào)

英語(yǔ)學(xué)院生活部是英語(yǔ)學(xué)院第九屆分團(tuán)委學(xué)生會(huì)這個(gè)大家庭中不可分割的一份子。自從2012年10月15日成立以來(lái)始終秉承“實(shí)實(shí)在在學(xué)生會(huì)，全心全意為同學(xué)，一言一行樹(shù)榜樣，時(shí)時(shí)處處是學(xué)習(xí)”的宗旨。認(rèn)真履行自身的職責(zé)，同時(shí)積極協(xié)助第九屆分團(tuán)委學(xué)生會(huì)其它部完成工作，收到了很好的成效?，F(xiàn)就本學(xué)期生活部的工作進(jìn)行總結(jié)。一：.生活部概況： 1.成員總數(shù)：4人

2.人員構(gòu)成：部長(zhǎng)：汪中燕（103班）

干事：張影（111）張阿麗（112）

王超林（113）

3.宗旨：實(shí)實(shí)在在學(xué)生會(huì)，全心全意為同學(xué)，一言一行樹(shù)榜樣，時(shí)時(shí)處處是學(xué)習(xí)

二.思想建設(shè)方面

1.成員小型交流會(huì)

在第九屆分團(tuán)委學(xué)生會(huì)建立伊始，生活部就及時(shí)以談心的方式召開(kāi)了一次小型會(huì)議。首先，部長(zhǎng)詳細(xì)地給每一個(gè)干事介紹了第九屆分團(tuán)委學(xué)生會(huì)以及大家所身處的生活部，給他們講明了學(xué)生會(huì)的重要性以及我們這個(gè)涉及到學(xué)生生活方方面面的生活部的重要性，同時(shí)也傳達(dá)了學(xué)生會(huì)以及生活部的實(shí)質(zhì)，要真真正正地做到實(shí)實(shí)在在學(xué)生會(huì)，全心全意為同學(xué)。同時(shí)，著重強(qiáng)調(diào)了英語(yǔ)學(xué)院分團(tuán)委學(xué)生會(huì)雖然分為很多部，但是每一個(gè)部都是學(xué)生會(huì)不可或缺的一份子。雖然在名稱(chēng)上有部門(mén)之分，但是在實(shí)際的工作中，我們應(yīng)該摒棄部門(mén)之分的想法，要始終秉承英語(yǔ)學(xué)院學(xué)生會(huì)是一個(gè)大家庭，家庭成員之間應(yīng)該相親相愛(ài)，真正凝結(jié)成一股繩的原則，在即將結(jié)束的這學(xué)期里生活部也很好地踐行了這個(gè)宗旨，積極協(xié)助其它部的工作。此外，部長(zhǎng)還向各個(gè)干事強(qiáng)調(diào)了一點(diǎn)，生活部是英語(yǔ)學(xué)院分團(tuán)委這個(gè)大家庭的一個(gè)小家庭，成員之間應(yīng)該也要相互提出意見(jiàn)，任何成員工作上出現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題都要及時(shí)提出，并改正。另外，部長(zhǎng)還向各個(gè)干事仔細(xì)闡述了本部的工作細(xì)則，具體負(fù)責(zé)的工作，以及工作時(shí)應(yīng)注意的問(wèn)題。部長(zhǎng)和各干事也在私下里積極和上一屆的生活部成員進(jìn)行了溝通，更進(jìn)一步了解工作。2.生活部成員---學(xué)生見(jiàn)面會(huì)

第九屆學(xué)生會(huì)成立不久，進(jìn)行了一次學(xué)生會(huì)成員與同學(xué)的見(jiàn)面會(huì)。生活部各成員抓住了這個(gè)好機(jī)會(huì)及時(shí)地和學(xué)生之間建立了聯(lián)系。首先，我們簡(jiǎn)單地做了自我介紹，介紹了我們的部門(mén)以及具體負(fù)責(zé)的工作，鼓勵(lì)大家，尤其是新生不管遇到什么問(wèn)題，不管是否我們部門(mén)的工作，都可以尋求我們的幫助，我們也會(huì)盡己所能為大家排憂(yōu)解難。我們留下了自己的聯(lián)系方式，方面學(xué)生與我們之間的聯(lián)系。3.生活部成員---各班班長(zhǎng)，生活委建橋梁

生活部很多時(shí)候必須通過(guò)各班生活委和大家進(jìn)行溝通。所以我們及時(shí)收集了大一至大四各班生活委的聯(lián)系方式，并給他們留下了我們的聯(lián)系方式。同時(shí)，考慮到每個(gè)人都會(huì)遇到手機(jī)停機(jī)等狀況，為了不耽誤工作，我們還收集了各班班長(zhǎng)的聯(lián)系方式以備不時(shí)之需。

同時(shí)，生活部本部成員之間也有一個(gè)君子協(xié)定：在校期間不允許有手機(jī)停機(jī)狀況的出現(xiàn)。二.組織建設(shè)方面

1.責(zé)任明確

第九屆分團(tuán)委學(xué)生會(huì)學(xué)生會(huì)生活部自成立以來(lái)，沒(méi)有給各個(gè)干事明確地劃分工作任務(wù)，我們部的原則是有事情大家共同承擔(dān)，共同解決。這樣可以增強(qiáng)部門(mén)內(nèi)部凝聚力。而且生活部的每一項(xiàng)任務(wù)都具體指定負(fù)責(zé)人，責(zé)任到人，其他成員輔助負(fù)責(zé)人完成工作。2.部門(mén)成員之間聯(lián)系密切

生活部各成員之間一直保持密切的聯(lián)系，每一個(gè)成員所負(fù)責(zé)的任務(wù)完成之后都要其他成員交換意見(jiàn)，以便更一步做好工作。

3.做好本職工作的同時(shí)完成好學(xué)習(xí)

生活部一直強(qiáng)調(diào)學(xué)習(xí)是學(xué)生的本職，必須放在首位。一定要在不耽誤學(xué)習(xí)的基礎(chǔ)上出色地完成自己的工作。因此，如果本部有什么任務(wù)，空課的成員都積極主動(dòng)地承擔(dān)起來(lái)，盡最大努力做到學(xué)習(xí)，工作兩不誤。三．活動(dòng)組織 1.寢室設(shè)計(jì)大賽(1)宣傳階段

自從2011年10月中旬收到學(xué)校關(guān)于第八屆以“錦繡紡織，共筑溫馨”為主題的寢室設(shè)計(jì)大賽的通知后，英語(yǔ)學(xué)院分團(tuán)委生活部就對(duì)本次設(shè)計(jì)大賽的主題及相關(guān)流程等進(jìn)行了大力的宣傳，并多次積極走寢，動(dòng)員同學(xué)積極參加本次比賽，為營(yíng)造良好的寢室文化氛圍，增強(qiáng)寢室凝聚力，調(diào)動(dòng)同學(xué)積極性，發(fā)揮各個(gè)寢室的特長(zhǎng)和“團(tuán)結(jié)友愛(ài)，互幫互助”的精神，給同學(xué)們提供更多發(fā)揮自己創(chuàng)造性的空間，充分展示大學(xué)生風(fēng)采，并且希望在寢室長(zhǎng)的帶領(lǐng)下，用睿智的頭腦，靈巧的雙手，點(diǎn)綴生活空間，詮釋學(xué)生理想的生活和飛揚(yáng)的夢(mèng)想。(2)準(zhǔn)備及報(bào)名階段

本次寢室設(shè)計(jì)大賽主要對(duì)象是剛大一新生，也是主要的宣傳對(duì)向，大二及以上的年級(jí)也可自愿參加，到10月中旬末生活部已將參加寢室設(shè)計(jì)大賽的各個(gè)寢室登記在冊(cè)。各個(gè)參加的寢室也在此期間進(jìn)行了積極地準(zhǔn)備，院內(nèi)給出的截止籌備時(shí)間是10月26日。(3)院內(nèi)評(píng)比階段

2011年10月26日，在英語(yǔ)學(xué)院分團(tuán)委學(xué)生會(huì)全體成員的共同努力下，我們根據(jù)寢室設(shè)計(jì)大賽的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)對(duì)寢室設(shè)計(jì)大賽的成果進(jìn)行了兩次審核，并給予打分和攝像，最終評(píng)選出院內(nèi)的六個(gè)優(yōu)秀寢室。

院內(nèi)選出的優(yōu)秀寢室即為參加學(xué)校評(píng)比的寢室，并且優(yōu)秀寢室于10月28日送交學(xué)校參加評(píng)比。經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間的悉心等待最終校級(jí)的評(píng)比結(jié)果公布，我院在校級(jí)的比賽中獲得了驕人的成績(jī)，我院有兩個(gè)寢室獲得一等獎(jiǎng)的好成績(jī)，他們是英語(yǔ)123班S16-314-2和英語(yǔ)122班S16-132，二等獎(jiǎng)有三個(gè)寢室，他們是翻譯121班的S16-114-1，英語(yǔ)122班的S13-508和英語(yǔ)121班S16-214-2，兩個(gè)優(yōu)秀獎(jiǎng)獎(jiǎng)，他們是英語(yǔ)122班的S16-207，英語(yǔ)123班的S16-229。

獲得獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)縱然使人高興，但我們更看重的是在寢室審計(jì)過(guò)程中，寢室成員之間友誼的創(chuàng)建，合作能力的提升。2.后勤體驗(yàn)篇

本學(xué)期有一項(xiàng)重要的活動(dòng)——大連大學(xué)第五屆后勤體驗(yàn)周活動(dòng)。在12級(jí)新生于躍、杜夢(mèng)涵、張倩、徐宏玉、毛瑞園五名同學(xué)的參與下進(jìn)行了為期半個(gè)月的體驗(yàn)活動(dòng)。11月13日，由干事帶領(lǐng)五名體驗(yàn)學(xué)員在行政樓605開(kāi)了關(guān)于后勤體驗(yàn)周的會(huì)議，會(huì)上講了后勤體驗(yàn)周的目的內(nèi)容及注意事項(xiàng)。同時(shí)也標(biāo)志著大連大學(xué)第五屆后勤體驗(yàn)周活動(dòng)正式啟動(dòng)。11月14日早上6：45，干事帶領(lǐng)五名體驗(yàn)學(xué)員參加了新文的衛(wèi)生清掃工作，主要是幫助負(fù)責(zé)打掃衛(wèi)生的阿姨清掃了樓道樓梯，包括窗臺(tái)樓梯扶手暖氣等。晚上7：45，所有成員一起參加了新文教室的清掃工作，將新文的六個(gè)大階梯教室逐一清掃拖干凈。同學(xué)們的反應(yīng)——累！但是他們也真切的體驗(yàn)到了后勤工作人員的艱辛。自11月15日到11月22日，正式開(kāi)始了后勤體驗(yàn)周的主要內(nèi)容——調(diào)查教室的利用率。每晚7：45，所有參與的同學(xué)都頂著風(fēng)準(zhǔn)時(shí)到文階逐個(gè)調(diào)查教室的自習(xí)人數(shù)，自習(xí)情況及衛(wèi)生情況，并且作了詳細(xì)的記錄。教室衛(wèi)生差

早自習(xí)是樓門(mén)開(kāi)的晚，導(dǎo)致大批學(xué)生樓前等待 教室內(nèi)無(wú)人卻燈火通明，教室節(jié)能差

中間在11月16日中午生活部干事代表英語(yǔ)學(xué)院在行政樓605參加了討論會(huì)，對(duì)后勤體驗(yàn)周活動(dòng)進(jìn)行了進(jìn)一步的商討。11月24日所有的成員針對(duì)大一及大二部分學(xué)生做了一份關(guān)于大連大學(xué)教室使用情況的調(diào)查問(wèn)卷，并對(duì)調(diào)查問(wèn)卷進(jìn)行了統(tǒng)計(jì)及數(shù)據(jù)分析。11月25日，五名 體驗(yàn)學(xué)員統(tǒng)一上交了自己的體驗(yàn)報(bào)告。

之后的收尾工作由負(fù)責(zé)人來(lái)完成。11月19日各院負(fù)責(zé)人在CC空間討論了此次活動(dòng)的收尾工作。根據(jù)此次會(huì)上的討論，王超林同學(xué)利用26、27日兩天時(shí)間整合了五名體驗(yàn)學(xué)員的報(bào)告，并根據(jù)工作記錄分析數(shù)據(jù)，做了一份教室利用率的調(diào)查報(bào)告，并根據(jù)調(diào)查問(wèn)卷的數(shù)據(jù)分析及體驗(yàn)記錄做了一份關(guān)于大連大學(xué)教師存在的問(wèn)題及建議的總結(jié)報(bào)告。并在28日上交。11月30日7：30到9：30在物理學(xué)院各院負(fù)責(zé)人集合將各院上交的研究報(bào)告包括教室設(shè)備問(wèn)題、衛(wèi)生問(wèn)題、利用率問(wèn)題等統(tǒng)一進(jìn)行了整合和修改，形成了一份完整的體驗(yàn)總結(jié)報(bào)告。至此后勤體驗(yàn)周活動(dòng)除了學(xué)校的總結(jié)大會(huì)基本上就圓滿(mǎn)結(jié)束了。

3.男生寢室門(mén)簾制作篇

因?yàn)槟猩鷮嬍业男枰?，所以?jīng)過(guò)生活部主動(dòng)與學(xué)院研究決定為男寢門(mén)外的玻璃上統(tǒng)一做小門(mén)簾，既可以滿(mǎn)足男同學(xué)的需求，同時(shí)也展現(xiàn)我們學(xué)院的精神面貌，生活部就與11月中旬著手為他們統(tǒng)一制做了門(mén)簾。

在做之前我們部?jī)?nèi)部進(jìn)行了一系列的準(zhǔn)備工作，我們于2012-11-5號(hào)晚上分別去光伸，清源以及北區(qū)進(jìn)行了選材，價(jià)格對(duì)比等，最終確定在北區(qū)制作小門(mén)簾，并在其上寫(xiě)上“惟吾德馨，英語(yǔ)學(xué)院”，并于11月12日完成后及時(shí)發(fā)給男生各個(gè)寢室，事后在檢查寢室的過(guò)程中看了一下整體效果很好。同學(xué)對(duì)此也非常滿(mǎn)意。門(mén)簾制作以及圖釘共計(jì)309元人民幣。后續(xù)工作方面我們還需要向男同學(xué)強(qiáng)調(diào)應(yīng)保持小門(mén)簾的清潔，及時(shí)清洗，爭(zhēng)取能讓此工作效果保持較長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，并展現(xiàn)我們英語(yǔ)學(xué)院的精神風(fēng)貌。

4.大一自習(xí)室衛(wèi)生檢查及學(xué)院大清掃報(bào)告

十月份，生活部著重督查了大一兩個(gè)自習(xí)室的衛(wèi)生情況，前期520自習(xí)室的衛(wèi)生情況較差，提出以后進(jìn)行限期整改，效果不錯(cuò)且一直在保持。

11月15日，進(jìn)行了一次學(xué)院大清掃，由生活部部長(zhǎng)汪中燕，干事張影、張阿麗輔助，干事王超林負(fù)責(zé)。此次學(xué)院大清掃定于中午十二點(diǎn)十分，但同學(xué)們普遍都是拖拖拉拉的，唯獨(dú) 123班同學(xué)準(zhǔn)時(shí)到學(xué)院，干勁十足不挑剔不抱怨，效果非常好?？赡苁莿偵洗笠唬谝淮螀⒓訉W(xué)院大清掃，同學(xué)總體表現(xiàn)比較亂。生活委缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn)，之前沒(méi)有明確參加大清掃的人名單，時(shí)間已經(jīng)到了但學(xué)生沒(méi)來(lái)，生活委也無(wú)從查起。再一個(gè)問(wèn)題，任務(wù)沒(méi)有落實(shí)到人，造成現(xiàn)場(chǎng)混亂，有些同學(xué)忙得不可開(kāi)交，有些同學(xué)則在談笑風(fēng)生，沒(méi)有真正組織起來(lái)。所以此次學(xué)院大清掃所用時(shí)間較長(zhǎng)。之后各班生活委也在班里總結(jié)了此次大清掃的弊端，相信也增長(zhǎng)了不少的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。5.寢室衛(wèi)生大檢查篇

寢室是大家生活，學(xué)習(xí)的地方，有一個(gè)干凈衛(wèi)生的環(huán)境會(huì)讓人感受到舒適與放松。寢室就像是一個(gè)室友共同的家，整潔的家會(huì)讓里面的人覺(jué)得溫暖。而且，搞好寢室衛(wèi)生也能預(yù)防一些疾病的發(fā)生，臟亂差的環(huán)境很容易滋生細(xì)菌，影響人的身體健康。所以良好的寢室衛(wèi)生與人與己都是有利無(wú)害的。在2012年十月25日和2012年十一月1日（周四中午的12點(diǎn)四十），我們分別進(jìn)行了兩次寢室衛(wèi)生大檢查，第一次主要是針對(duì)大一的新生寢室，第二次主要是針對(duì)大二和大三的寢室。在這兩次檢查中，有很多亮點(diǎn)，但也有很多的不足之處。對(duì)于第一次檢查，女生寢室都表現(xiàn)得很好，地面都非常干凈，自己的物品也都整理的非常整齊，各個(gè)死角也都打掃的非常干凈,有個(gè)別寢室還把自己寢室的玻璃擦得十分干凈,所有女同學(xué)都對(duì)這次檢查很重視，所以都很認(rèn)真的打掃。其中有個(gè)別寢室非常值得表?yè)P(yáng)，以前學(xué)校都給打掃的非常不好的寢室貼白條，但是我們竟然發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)校給大一的某個(gè)寢室貼了一張“非常優(yōu)秀”的白條，這在我們學(xué)院甚至是在整個(gè)學(xué)校都是很難見(jiàn)到的，所以要提出深切的表?yè)P(yáng)。再說(shuō)一下大一的男同學(xué)寢室，相比較與女生寢室而言，男生寢室就顯得非常差。這也與男生的寢室環(huán)境有關(guān)，男生的寢室非常狹窄，而且每個(gè)寢室最多住五到六個(gè)人，所以寢室的物品就顯得很多，如果稍稍擺放的不整齊，就會(huì)顯得特別的亂，但是同學(xué)們做的還都很好，從他們整理后的寢室可以看出他們都很用心的打掃了，只是其中有某個(gè)寢室，其空氣不是特別的好，我想這肯定與某個(gè)人的衛(wèi)生習(xí)慣有關(guān)，所以希望那些同學(xué)可以搞好自己的個(gè)人衛(wèi)生。

第二次檢查的是大二和大三同學(xué)的寢室，相比于大一同學(xué)的寢室，大二和大三的寢室就顯得不那么整潔，這與大二和大三的同學(xué)物品非常多也有著密不可分的關(guān)系，但從整體上來(lái)說(shuō)，寢室的衛(wèi)生還是弄得很不錯(cuò)的，女生寢室與男生寢室相比，還是略勝一籌，考慮到男生的寢室條件，也可以理解他們的狀況，只是希望所有的寢室都能認(rèn)真的對(duì)待每次的衛(wèi)生檢查，保持好寢室的衛(wèi)生環(huán)境，給自己也給自己的室友一個(gè)舒適、溫馨的生活環(huán)境。

I have a great family, a great teachers, great school and great classmates. But most at all, I have a great life. A great school life. Maybe that’s what makes me happy everyday, being refreshed every morning, instead of feeling distressed and sluggish.

I feel weird sometimes, thinking the world is rotating and recycling around and around, but not feeling anything of it. But I feel very gay, thinking, even if there are many things we don’t know, nobody will be mad at you, because the teachers will educate you to learn Mathematics, Chinese, English….. And most of all, to let you learn how to learn, so you can still learn yourselves after school, I love being by teachers, parents, with your friends and classmates beside. The feeling of learning together, not alone, will be like a friendship bond, us together forever.

life is full of colors and different colors reflect different attitudes towards life。 what is your favourite color? are you in favour of those warm colours， such as yellow， orange， or red? if you do， you are likely to be an optimist， a leader， and an active person who enjoys life， work and excitement。 do you prefer those cold colors such as grey and blue? then you may tend to be a pessimistic， quiet， and shy person， you would rather follow than lead。 is this true? maybe。 at least， this is what psychologists have told us， and they should know， since they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference， as well as the effect that colors have on human beings’ lives。 they tell us that we do choose our favourite colors as we grew up， and we were born with our love for special colors。 if you happen to love a special color， you were made to do this the moment you opened your eyes， or at least the moment you could recognize different colors。

there is no doubt that colors do have an impact on our moods。 a yellow room can make most people feel cheerful and relaxed while a dark green one makes you feel cold and afraid。 and a red dress brings warmth and pleasure to the saddest winter day。 of course， the color black will probably make you feel depressed。 it is reported that a black bridge over the thames river used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area until one day it was repainted green， the number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue。

light bright colors make people not only happier but more active in their work。 it is an established fact that students work better， harder and will make fewer mistakes when their notebooks and study tools are of these colors rather than black or grey。

so now do you know what kind of person you are belonging to? just find your life color， and enjoy your life!

some say mediocre students are similar, not mediocre students each havetheir own glory. although i don't think my life is

brilliant, and failure of comparison but i'm glad i gainmuch more than ilost. every one of us dreams of the university halls, in order to come to thepalace we experience hardships. now that we have crossed the threshold, so wehave a lot of personality in the halls of this dream. college is not a fantasy,not a dream, and certainly not delusional, but our great ideal. as long as weare fighting for. some day we will achieve everything! you will hear maplestream boat,

第五篇：生活英語(yǔ) Everyday English

生活英語(yǔ) Everyday English Any rooms available?

WHAT do you do when you get tired of the campus dorm and want a room all by yourself? Well, if that happens, here's some English you'll need to get that apartment.Do you have any apartments for rent right now? 你們現(xiàn)在有沒(méi)有公寓要出租啊？

You can ask the leasing agent(房屋中介)or landlord or landlady(房東)this if you phone them.Or you can say, “Do you have any apartment available right now?” or, “Do you still have a/that vacancy?”

I'm looking for a studio because I don't have much money.因?yàn)殄X(qián)不多，我想租一個(gè)零居室的房子。

A “studio” is the simplest apartment, with the bedroom and kitchen in the same room(零居室公寓).Other choices are “one-bedroom” or “two-bedroom apartment”.You can get these if you want an affordable way of renting by “sharing”(合租)with a roommate.How much is the rent? 租金是多少？

Or, “What's the rent on that?” And don't forget to ask, “How much is the deposit?”(押金是多 少？)You also need to check on whether the rent includes utilities(水電費(fèi)).You can ask, “Are utilities included”? or, “What else am I responsible for”? There can be other fees like heating(取暖費(fèi)), property management(物業(yè)費(fèi)), cable TV(有線(xiàn)電視費(fèi)), Internet connection service(上網(wǎng)費(fèi)), or garbage.Is the apartment furnished? 房子帶家具嗎？

An apartment may be “completely furnished”(家具齊備), “partially furnished”(帶部分家具), or “not furnished”(不帶家具).If you want to know how it feels, you might ask, “Does the apartment get much natural light?”or, “Does the room get much sunlight?”(房間的光線(xiàn)好嗎？)Fry an egg on the sidewalk

THE weather's getting hotter and you're looking for ways to stay out of the heat.But can you describe really unbearable weather? Try these:

I'm not going to that party.It's hot as blazes outside.我不去那個(gè)舞會(huì)了。外面熱的像著了大火一樣。

hot as blazes: colloquial.A “blaze” is a large fire(大火，烈火).I wouldn't go out.You could fry an egg on the sidewalk.我不想出去，天氣熱得連人行道上都可以煎蛋了。

When we describe something as very hot, we can say “熱(燙)的都可以把雞蛋煮熟了”.Here, the English equivalent for the phrase is “you could fry an eggs on it”.I'm sweltering.Let's just stay home.我熱得難受！我們還是呆在家里吧。

swelter: 熱得難受，熱得喘不過(guò)氣來(lái).Also: “It's sweltering”.Let's cancel the appointment this evening;it's a scorcher outside!我們?nèi)∠砩系募s會(huì)吧，外面太熱了。

scorcher: colloquial(大熱天).A similar expression is “It's roasting”(天太熱了).Hey, I'm melting.Would you please turn on the air conditioner right now? 我熱得快化了，趕快把空調(diào)打開(kāi)吧。

melt：熔化.I'm sweating like a pig, and I can't concentrate on my homework.我熱得汗流浹背，沒(méi)法集中精力做作業(yè)。

sweat like a pig: colloquial(大汗淋漓，汗流浹背).Also: “It is sweating” or “I am sweating”.It's hot as hell.I hope it rains this evening.這里熱得跟地獄一樣，希望晚上能下場(chǎng)雨。

hot as hell: Everyone knows that, down where the devil lives, there are fires roaring.Try this when you're sick

NO question about it, you're a hardworking student.But no matter how serious you are, you have to skip some lectures when you don't feel well.So this week we give you: words related to “請(qǐng)假”.1.John, hi, can you please tell the professor that I have to ask for leave tomorrow morning? I'm feeling sick and can't concentrate.“Leave”(準(zhǔn)假，休假)is a noun here.Ask for leave: 請(qǐng)假.Here, “ask for leave tomorrow morning” means “明天上午請(qǐng)半天假”.Other examples include “ask for a 48-hour leave” : 請(qǐng)假48小時(shí) or “ask for one week of leave”: 請(qǐng)假一周.2.Mr Smith, my dad's here visiting me and I'd like to take two days off to show him around the city.“Take off”(請(qǐng)假，休假)is another common expression for “ask for leave”.Another phrase with the word “off” is “to be off sick”: 因病缺勤.For example:

Poor Sophie!She's been off sick for two days with a high fever.I hope she's getting better now.3.I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pull a sickie today, Helen, but I really do have a bit of the flu.“Pull a sickie”(請(qǐng)假)is slang;“sickie” is slang word for “病假” and often refers to a day off.It is used in the case of genuine illness but often has a sense of avoiding work.4.I don't feel well this morning.Perhaps I ought to call in sick.Call in sick: 打電話(huà)請(qǐng)病假.You could say “call the secretary/boss/department head to tell her I'm sick” when you ask for leave.And you may need “a doctor's note”(病假條)to prove your illness.need to renew my card

THIS week we'll continue our discussion of credit cards and their use.In the previous issue, we talked about annual fees(年費(fèi)), credit limits(信用額度)and late payment(未按時(shí)還款).So, let's move on to other topics.1.Asking about a cash advance(詢(xún)問(wèn)預(yù)借現(xiàn)金)

Customer: If I need to get some cash with my credit card, what is the limit?

Clerk: That depends on your credit limit.Generally, you get 50 percent of your credit limit.Customer: Oh, that's not bad.Is there a charge for that?

Clerk: Yes.There's a 3 percent service charge.Cash advance: 取現(xiàn)(從信用卡提取現(xiàn)金)，預(yù)借現(xiàn)金.Service charge: 手續(xù)費(fèi);also, “service fee”.2.Renewing a card(補(bǔ)辦新卡)

Customer: What's the charge for a replacement if I lose my card?

Clerk: There's a 15-yuan charge for a replacement due to loss or damage.Customer: What about when my card expires?

Clerk: We replace it for free.Renew a credit card: 補(bǔ)辦新信用卡.The noun form is “card renewal”.Expire: 滿(mǎn)期，中止.Expiry date: 信用卡的有效期.3.Paying in dollars(美金支付)

Customer: I need to pay my application fee for an American university.Can I use this card?

Clerk: Yes, you can.It is a dual-currency card and allows you to pay in both US dollars and RMB.Customer: But do I have to pay that off with dollars?

Clerk: Not really.You can pay it back in RMB or dollars.The exchange rate depends on the date of payment.Application fee:(大學(xué)的)申請(qǐng)費(fèi).Dual-currency card: 雙幣卡，可以使用美元或人民幣支付的信用卡.Exchange rate: 匯率.Duck out for a minute

THE sky's blue, the sun's shining and the flowers are in full bloom.You're in the classroom, but a number of your classmates have mysteriously disappeared.What happened? Where'd they go? Here's how we describe that disappearing act:

1.He must have a late case of spring fever, he's been skiving off class for a week.To many, “playing truant” might be the most familiar translation for “逃學(xué)”.In fact, “play truant” is somewhat British and formal.To “skive off”(偷懶逃學(xué)、逃課)is more colloquial.2.Boy, there was hardly a soul around this afternoon.Many students cut class for an outing.“To cut class”(逃課，翹課)is a very common expression.It has both a formal and informal sound.“To skip class” is interchangeable with “cut class”.For example: Wow, I managed to get an interview tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to skip class to get to it.3.I saw her with her boyfriend on my way to class.They looked like they were having fun, but they were obviously playing hooky.“To play hooky”(逃學(xué))is another expression.“Hooky” is also spelt “hookey” and has two meanings: “逃學(xué)” or “逃學(xué)者”.4.I just couldn't take it anymore.The day was so beautiful that I just had to duck out of class to experience some of this weather.The verb “to duck” means to avoid or evade(often, something that could cause injury).The “out” is added when it refers to the classroom(or work or some other responsibility): 偷偷跑出教室.You need to check the credit limit

CREDIT cards aren't a novelty to university students today.In fact, banks go looking for students, and some may have more than one card.So, we've found some useful expressions when you ask about a credit card.1.Asking about an annual fee(詢(xún)問(wèn)年費(fèi))

Customer: Is there an annual fee from the bank or the credit card company?

Clerk: Yes, there's a 100-yuan annual fee.If you have at least six transactions, the fee is waived.This is different from a debit card(借記卡).An annual service fee/charge(年費(fèi))can come from the issuing bank(發(fā)卡銀行)or the credit card company.Transaction(交易)is a formal bank word for “usage”.Waive: 免除，取消.For example，The school has decided to waive his tuition because of his high grades last year.2.Asking about credit limit(詢(xún)問(wèn)信用額度)

Customer: What's the credit limit on a student card?

Clerk: It's usually 3,000 yuan a month.But it depends on your credit rating.If your credit's good, we can raise the limit.Customer: What if I want to make a big purchase?

Customer: We can raise the limit temporarily.Give us a phone call ahead of time.Credit limit: 信用額度.The bank can “temporarily raise the credit limit”(臨時(shí)調(diào)高信用額度)if the person wants to make a big purchase.3.Asking about late payments(詢(xún)問(wèn)沒(méi)有按時(shí)還款的后果)

Customer: If I'm late in paying my credit card bill, what will happen?

Clerk: In the first instance, we lower your credit limit as a warning.If it happens three months in a row, we may stop the card.Customer: But what if I simply forget to pay on time?

Clerk: I'm afraid that's not a good excuse.We'll remind you of the due date by e-mail, text message or phone.Then you shouldn't forget.In a row: 連續(xù)地.For example: It has been raining for three days in a row(雨已經(jīng)連續(xù)下了三天了).Due date: 還款日期。

Relax at restaurants

DINING out with friends is a great way to socialize.So, study these sentences and they'll help you relax the next time you're in a restaurant.1.May I have the menu, please? 請(qǐng)給我看下菜單。

Obviously, looking at the menu is the first step at a restaurant.Often, the waiter has already brought it.If not, this is the polite way to get one.Other common ways to ask are:

I'd like to see the menu, please.Could you get me a menu please?

2.We'd like to order now, please./ I believe we're ready to order.我想點(diǎn)菜。

Next, you have to order.Sometimes, the waiter will ask,“Can I take your order now?”(現(xiàn)在可以點(diǎn)菜了嗎？).If you're ready, simply answer “Yes, please.” If you are not ready, say “Not quite.Could we have a few more minutes?”

3.What's the specialty of the house? 你們店有什么招牌菜？

Or, you may also ask:

Do you have any specials today? 今天有什么特價(jià)菜/特別的菜品嗎？

What would you recommend? I want something light.有什么推薦的嗎？我想吃點(diǎn)清淡的。

4.May I/we have the bill/check, please.請(qǐng)拿賬單來(lái)。

Then, it's time to pay for your enjoyment.Another way to say this:

Could you bring me the check, please?

I'd like the check, please.Coffee in a proper copper pot

THE whole country is still recovering from the Chinese lunar new year.We may still be feeling a bit lazy, so, how about practising some tongue twisters? These can help loosen up your tongue and your mind.See how long it takes you to move from apprentice level to master.Apprentice:

A laurel-crowned clown.A noisy noise annoys an oyster.Flip flops fly off your feet for fun.Professional:

A tidy tiger tied a tie tighter to tidy her tiny tail.A flea and a fly flew up a flue.Said the flea, “Let us fly!” Said the fly, “Let us flee!” So they flew through a flaw in the flue.A snow-white swan swam swiftly to catch a slowly swimming snake in a lake.Expert:

All I want is a proper cup of coffee made in a proper copper(銅的)coffee pot, you can believe it or not, but I just want a cup of coffee in a proper coffee pot.Tin coffee pots or iron coffee pots are of no use to me.If I can't have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot, I'll have a cup of tea!

Master:

A tree toad(樹(shù)蛙)loved a she-toad who lived up in a tree.He was a two-toed tree toad but a three-toed toad was she.The two-toed tree toad tried to win the three-toed she-toad's heart, for the two-toed tree toad loved the ground that the three-toed tree toad trod(踩)on.But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.With her three-toed power the she-toad vetoed(否決)him.Some criticism can be harsh

SPRING Festival is approaching.You'd better hold on to your wallet tightly, or you could go bankrupt in the holiday shopping madness.But, you'd also better be prepared to face people's jokes or mockery about your being mean.If you choose not to spend, here's how criticism can sound ? from the mildest to the harshest:

1.She's such a penny-pincher.她真是個(gè)守財(cái)奴。

This sounds almost literal, but, for some reason, is somewhat light-hearted.To pinch: 節(jié)省，捏緊.2.He's really tight-fisted.他很吝嗇。

This is also literal sounding.It's also obviously similar to the Chinese expression “手很緊”.3.He's such a stingy person.他是個(gè)很小氣的人。

This one can have a slightly angrier tone to it.Stingy: 吝嗇的，小氣的.4.What a miser!真是個(gè)吝嗇鬼！

Also, like sentence 3, a fairly offensive comment.5.He's such a tightwad.他真是個(gè)小氣鬼。

This one carries a bit of an angry tone.Tightwad: 吝嗇鬼，守財(cái)奴.6.Money means everything to her.她視錢(qián)如命。

This one is even stronger criticism.7.He's a real scrooge.他是個(gè)不折不扣的守財(cái)奴。

This term, from the character in British writer Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, may be old, but it's still fresh and harsh.Scrooge: 吝嗇鬼.8.She'd sell her twin sister(if she had one)for a few pennies.為了幾個(gè)小錢(qián)，要她賣(mài)了她雙胞胎姐妹她都愿意。

This one may sound funny, but it's often really offensive.It also has variations: e.g.He'd sell his own mother just for some extra cash.21ST

Don't keep putting things off

AS the end of the year, or another semester, approaches, we need to pay attention to the time.To help you out, we give some terms from deadlines and schedules.1.The report is due on Friday/ this coming Friday.這個(gè)報(bào)告這個(gè)周五要交。

Note: If you're talking about the end of the current week on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, “on Friday” is OK.But, If you're referring to Friday on a Saturday or Sunday, “this coming Friday” is clearer than “next Friday”.2.We have a research paper due every other week.我們每?jī)芍芫鸵黄撐摹?/p>

Note: We also have “every other day”(每隔一天).I have to see my dentist every three days.(我每隔三天就要去看一次牙醫(yī)。)

However, “every single day” means every day.“Single” simply strengthen the repetitive sense.Mom, why should I have to brush my teeth every single day?(媽媽?zhuān)瑸槭裁次颐恳惶於嫉盟⒀腊。?

3.We are out of time.我們時(shí)間不夠了。

Note: You're sweating on the final test, and suddenly the teacher announces, “We're running out of time.Be sure to sign your tests.”(時(shí)間快到了，請(qǐng)確定考卷填好了姓名)So, you try to write down as many words as possible in the final minutes until he announces, “Time's up”.4.How much longer do you need to get all this stuff done? 你還要多久才能把事情做完？ Note: “How much longer” puts emphasis on the length of the time(sometimes with an air of annoyance or impatience), while “How long” is a neutral expression simply asking for the numerical figure.5.Don't put things off until the last minute next time.下次不要再臨陣磨槍了。

Note: You can also put something off until the “l(fā)ast second”, depending on how disorganized you are.For those who do, there's another expression: “I'm cramming for the test.”(我正在臨時(shí)抱佛腳，準(zhǔn)備考試。)

Be an ace in your conversation

LAST week we talked about some expressions related to test preparation.But, it's almost mid-January now, so maybe some students have had several tests, or have even got the results.In any case, what do you say when being asked about your test score?

1.Professor Li returned the philosophy tests today.李教授今天把哲學(xué)考卷發(fā)下來(lái)了

Note: There's no “test sheet” or “exam sheet” in English.Instead, it's just “test”(考卷)or “answer sheet”(答卷).2.The TA is going to explain the test tomorrow.助教明天會(huì)來(lái)講解考題

Note: TA is short for “teaching assistant”, which is usually a graduate student who is paid to help the professor.It's a popular way for grad students to make some extra money(though usually not much).People also say “go over the test” for discussing the results.3.I bombed on the test.我考砸了

Note: “Bomb” is similar to “fail” and “screw up”(It's as if a bomb had been dropped).You could say, “I bombed on that date.She'll never want to see me again.”

4.I believe I can ace it next time.我相信我下次一定能把它考好

Note: An “ace”, is the card in a deck of cards that can represent anything.It's also a fighter pilot who's a hero(王牌駕駛員).Here it's used as a verb.Of course, we can also say “score high on the test”, but it's not as catchy.5.There's nothing to talk about.沒(méi)什么好說(shuō)的

Note: You failed the math exam and got depressed.A girl classmate, who doesn't recognize your depression, comes up and asks, “What's your score?” You don't want to answer, so you say, “Well, there's nothing to talk about.” Or, you can be even cooler with, “No comment”.Now, let's turn to exams

YES, it's a time for students to sweat, again!Exams are upon us.To add some spice to this miserable period of time and get our minds in a different space, let's discuss some exam-related talk.1.exam, test, quiz(測(cè)驗(yàn)), pop quiz(隨堂小測(cè)驗(yàn))

Note: The above expressions are listed in the order of size and importance, from most serious to least serious, but with “exam” and “test” often used interchangeably.2.What's going to be covered on the test? / What's the test going to cover? 考試的范圍是什么?

Note: The most common way to ask about the content of the exam and the range of questions.Another expression is as follows: “Are you ready for the math test tomorrow?” “No.I'm not even sure of what'll be on it.”

3.The mid-term/final will be a comprehensive exam.這次期末考/期中考是沒(méi)有范圍的

Note: This is definitely the last thing you want to hear ? a comprehensive(test)may cover everything in your textbook, or even outside it.4.Where'd you get the old exam? 你從哪里拿到的以前的題?

Note: A universally recognized way to get ready in the quickest possible time: an old exam(or “previous” or “past exam”)can be really helpful.5.I have to prepare for tomorrow's test.我得準(zhǔn)備明天的考試 Note: Don't forget to add the word “for”.If you say “I have to prepare the test,” it means you're the person responsible for making it--the professor.6.The philosophy test will be open book.哲學(xué)考試是開(kāi)卷考試

Note: There are different types of tests: open book(開(kāi)卷—可以看書(shū)), or open note(開(kāi)卷—可以看筆記).All are designed to test how well-prepared you are, but in a different way.Why the long face?

HOW do you show your concern for a friend who seems to be in trouble? It's better for you to take a polite and less direct way to ask about the problem.Last week, we showed you five expressions.The following are five other options.1.Is something on your mind? / Do you have something on your mind? /What's on your mind? 你擔(dān)心什么呢?

Note: This has a milder, easier tone but can still apply to serious problems such as job dissatisfaction or even job loss or marital problems.Be on a person's mind: 有什么掛心的事

2.Why are you so glum? 你怎么看起來(lái)悶悶不樂(lè)的？

Note: Spoken in a mild tone, it sounds friendly and caring.Often used when someone is feeling blue or mildly depressed.3.Why the long face? 你怎么看起來(lái)這么疲憊？

Note: Meaning “Why do you seem so unhappy?” The complete sentence would be “Why do you have such a long face?”(But, no one would ever say that.)

4.You're not yourself today./ You don't seem to be yourself today.你今天有點(diǎn)心神不寧。

Note: Mild way of saying “you don't seem to be in such a good mood today” or “you don't seem to be feeling so well today”.People also say “Sorry, I'm just not myself today”(對(duì)不起，我也不知道今天我是怎么了), as an excuse after not performing well on the job.5.Who are you irritated with? 誰(shuí)惹你生氣了？

Note: This is used only in a very specific situation where someone is having a problem with another person.Be irritated with?: 為……而急躁，為……而發(fā)怒.Is there anything wrong with you?

DO you sometimes see friends who aren't getting on well? Want to show your concern for them by asking about the problem? The following expressions can help you out if there's an uneasy silence.1.What's the matter? / What's the problem? 你怎么了?

Note: Commonly used to ask about any problems, physical, marital or financial.Do not confuse it with another expression “What's your problem?”(你什么毛病??？)which is an aggressive way of saying “What IS wrong with you?” or “Why are you such a mess?”

What's the matter? You look tired/sad/uneasy/a bit sick/troubled.(你怎么了?看起來(lái)有點(diǎn)累/傷心/不安/生病了/有煩心事。)

2.What's wrong? / Is anything wrong? 出什么事了？

I kept calling you last night, but you didn't answer the phone.What's wrong/Is anything wrong?(我昨晚一直給你打電話(huà)但你都沒(méi)接，出什么事了？)

3.Is something bothering / troubling you? 你有什么煩心事嗎？/你沒(méi)事吧？

Is something bothering you? You don't seem to be able to concentrate.(你沒(méi)事吧？你好像沒(méi)法集中注意力。)

4.Are you OK / all right? 你還好吧？

Is everything OK / all right? 你沒(méi)什么事吧？

Note: Often used when people sense that something is wrong.5.What's going on? 出什么事了？ What happened? / What's happening? 你有什么心事嗎?

Note: Because the first one has the broader use meaning “What are you doing/What have you been doing lately”(你最近怎么樣？), it's not quite so serious.The second and the third are often used when there has been some physical problem ? something broken or destroyed, some marital dispute, some accident.It's 'loong' against evil dragon

SINCE early December, netizens(網(wǎng)民)have been proposing that we call the Chinese dragon the “l(fā)oong”, so as to improve China's image.They argue that, since ancient times, the Chinese dragon has been seen as a symbol of China and was the emblem(徽章)of royal family.But in the West, dragons are large monsters that breathe fire and eat people.“Dragon”, they say, is not a suitable name for the Chinese creature that stands for good luck.So, what does the word “dragon” represent in the West? What makes it evil? The following will help give you a clue.The Bible

The history of the dragon as an evil monster in the West starts with the Bible.A search for the word “dragon” in the Bible produces 34 matches.The word is most directly translated as “sea or land monster” in the Old Testament(《舊約全書(shū)》).There is also a Biblical description of Satan where he's described as a red dragon, with seven heads and 10 horns(角), which is ready to eat a new-born child.Common speech

Expressions using “dragon” are often negative.A dragon lady refers to a powerful, domineering(作威作福的)or dangerous woman.They call her the dragon lady because she is always yelling at children.(他們把她叫做母夜叉，因?yàn)樗偸菍?duì)著孩子大吼大叫。)

People use “chase the dragon” to refer to smoking.Joan's marriage broke up after she began chasing the dragon.(沉迷于“吞云吐霧”之后，瓊的婚姻破裂了。)

Another humorous but still negative usage appeared in recent years.A mouthwash ad in the US used the term “dragon breath”.It refers to a man in the morning who hadn't brushed his teeth and who could knock a person over with his fierce breath.
