6、美国老师上课时大多慈悲为怀，只要学生开口，无论怎样信口开河或者牛头不对马嘴，老师都会说“Good job!”；“Very
nice!”；“Ok, you have a creative answer”；“What an original opinion!”。这既能鼓励学生，又能激发学生参与的积极性。这可是中国老师不妨学学的地方。
7、在英美国家的各种聚会上，女士们常夸赞自己的丈夫有能力，夸赞自己的孩子如何聪明可爱；男士们也常夸赞自己的妻子温柔可人，夸赞自己的老板如何地重用自己，这既能活跃气氛，又能尽显自己人性美的一部分。若有机会你参加外国人的ball（舞会），你也不妨收起你的谦虚，将你的赞美适时适度地表达出来。

英语学习的最高境界
子曰：“吾十有五而志于学，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳顺，七十而从心所欲，不逾矩。”
Confucius said, “Since the age of 15, I have devoted myself to
learning; since 30, I have been well established; since 40, I have
understood many things and have no longer been confused; since 50,
I have known my heaven-sent duty; since 60, I have been able to
distinguish right and wrong in other people’s words; and since 70,
I have been able to do what I intend freely without breaking the
rules.”
春秋战国时期，人的平均寿命是多少呢？一种说法，大约是十九岁。孔子活了72到73岁，少有的寿星。即使我们只计算当时有权有闲阶层，一般也很难达到孔子的高寿，所以，孔子的修行是很高的，非一般人所能企及。所以，孟子的理想社会是70岁的人有肉吃。
The average life expectancy at the Spring and Autumn Periods and
Warring States Periods was, according to some research, about 19
years. Confucius lived 72 to 73 years, a rare god of longevity indeed.
It was even hard for those with power and leisure to reach such
an age. Therefore, Confucius could be very well learned, far from
what an ordinary people could expect at his times. Thus, Mencius"s
ideal society was enabling 70 year old people to have meat in their
meals.
2001年最新统计证明全球人口平均寿命为62.27岁。世界各国和地区中最长寿的仍是日本人，平均寿命达79.66岁。而中国人的平均寿命为69.98岁。还是没有达到七十而从心所欲的年龄。难怪，不逾矩很难。
The latest statistics in 2001 shows that the world life expectancy
is 62.27 with the Japanese taking the lead to be 79.66 while China
gaining a position surpassing all developing countries by its 69.98.
However, the Chinese have not yet reached the age to do what they
intend freely without breaking the rules. Thus, rules are hard not
to be broken.
若以孔子志学的时间推算，我们学习英语10年，也没有什么了不起，还没有到而立之年呢。要想没有疑问，学25年。要想真正懂得学习英文的目的，学35年。要想辨别他人英文的好坏，学45年。要想随心所欲地运用英文，学55年。
Calculated in the terms Confucius set for us in learning, those
of us who have been learning English for ten years still have a
long way to go before reaching the time to be established. To have
no confusion, one has to spend 25 years. To truly understand the
purpose of English learning, one has to do it for 35 years. It takes
45 years if one wants to distinguish right and wrong in other people’s
words, and 55 years to manipulate English language freely without
breaking the rules.

上网请上一网情深！
英文粗话、脏话的翻译
世界上大概没有哪一种语言文字不带粗语、脏话的成分。特别是文学作品里，粗语、脏话时有所见（所闻）。我们用母语演讲、写作时完全可以做到少用或者不使用这类不文雅的字眼，但在作翻译时就身不由己了。对原作中所出现的粗鄙字眼，即所谓“四字母词(four
letter words）”如果避而不译，或者在翻译时随便加以“净化”，说得轻点就是不“信”，说得重点是对原作的歪曲。无论原话有多“粗”、多“脏”，它们毕竟是原作的有机组成部分。在文学作品中，出自某些人物之口的诅语、粗话，正是他们心理活动、情绪变化的写照。也是作家借以表现人物性格的重要手段之一。
英文里最常见的诅语恐怕非“damn”一词莫属了。另外，“son of a bitch"也常用作骂人的话。对这些“老牌号”诅语，汉语里似乎已有相对固定的译法，前者多译作“该死”，后者常译为“婊子养的”或“狗狼养的”。有“老牌”就有“新秀”。发现，“shit”一词作为诅语，大有后来居上之势。在当代文学作品里，在人物的对话中，该词的出现频率相当高。不仅男人将其挂在嘴边，女流之辈也频频使用；不光成人说，小孩也会用；受过良好教育者时不时要用到，更不用说那些缺少修养的"大老粗”们了。凡是遇到不顺心的事，或表示厌烦、不满、困惑想发牢骚时，人们动不动就是“shit”。正因为该词可用来表示多种复杂的心态和情绪，在译成汉语时译者就得多一个心眼，不能把目光停留在英汉词典所列举的那么几个有限的选择上，而应根据上下文和其表达的不同含义，在汉语里挑选感情色彩相应或相当的同语加以表达。
请看下面的例句：
1． The telephone rang.
“Shit，”Dale said.
The phone kept ringing.
“Don't answer it”， she whispered.
“It might be Joanna，”I said.
“No. It's your fucking friend Bloom，”she said.
It was my fucking friend Bloom.”
恋人独处时当然希望清静，不愿外界打扰。对话双方正是一对热恋中的情侣。电话铃声大作时两人正在上演作爱前奏，怪不得女方口出租言。“shit”一词的脱口而出恰如其分地表现出了她此时的厌烦、不满之情，译成“讨厌”比较合适。（Joanna是男方与前妻所生的女儿，Bloom则是他同事）。
2． I put the receiver back on the cradle. Frank was still staring
and scowling at me.
“What'd he want？”he asked.
“They've got George Harper． Morrie asked me to represent him during
the Q and A.”
“Shit,”Frank said.”
与上例一样，“shit”独立成句，但所表达的意义有所不同。Frank对自己的搭档（一民事律师事务所的合作者）要去插手一桩刑事案件大为不悦，指责人家“多管闲事”，在这种背景下，“shit”译为“乱弹琴’比较符合人物的心理。
除了独立成句外，“shit”还可在句子中充当其他成分，例如：
3．“Some pow'ful shit． Cost enough，but，man，it was pow'ful．”
这是一个黑人妇女在注射毒品后所说的，“shit”显然是毒品的代名词。 pow'ful shit可译为“挺厉害的玩意儿”。
4．“Susan，”I said， my voice rising，”I called to tell you that
I'm home and Joanria is still in Mexico，She'll be back this Saturday
and that's all I have to say to you.”
“That's not a11 Eliot will have to say to you.” “I welcome a call
from that mealy-mouthed shit，”I said， and hung up， trembling.
这是一对已离婚的夫妻在电话里的对话。女方责怪前夫不该自己先回国而把女儿留在墨西哥。 Eliot是女方“的私人律师中男方对他本来就有反感，听到前妻提到他的名字便气不打一处来，“shit”用来指人，可译为“混蛋”。
5．“Yes. She was a very beautiful woman, Morrie.”
“Yeah，”he said， and shook his head，"That's the shit of it，ain't
it？From what I get from the complaint，she was beaten up real bad．So
now she turns up on the beach，burned to death．Does it seem like
a coincidence to you？”
这是一个警官与律师在谈论一桩凶杀案。受害老是一个年轻美女，案情扑朔迷离，警方一筹莫展，“shit”出自一个警官之口，正是他无可奈何心境的写照。与例3、例4不同的是，该词在上下文中尽管也用作名词，但没有明确的指代关系R是暗示案情复杂，难以理清头绪，因此翻译时就不一定要译成相应的名词。将“That's
