【扬州英语培训】舌尖上的中国2春节后播出
作为近两年最受欢迎的饮食节目，《舌尖上的中国》第一季为我们展现了让人垂涎欲滴的中国美食文化。据悉，《舌尖上的中国第二季》有望春节面世。&在《舌尖上的中国2》将会带领我们寻找川渝的美食，淋漓尽致展现其&水火交攻&的重口味。在昨天的主创见面会上，总导演陈晓卿透露，第二季《舌尖》拍摄美食的区域扩大，除了内地的30多个省市外，还有港澳台地区的美食也囊括在其中，甚至还有新加坡的美食。&据悉，目前《舌尖2》已经进入后期制作阶段，计划将于2月底和广大观众朋友见面，陈晓卿说，&目前所有的拍摄基本结束，所有的导演都在进行画面的编辑，总之，可能这个春节我们都会在摄制组加班，希望大家去送茶、送饭。&The second series of Chinese hit cuisine documentary series, A Bite of China, is almost here. Another season means more hours salivating in front of your television sets.&Some people call it one of the finest food TV shows ever made. A Bite of China, one of the highest-rated documentary series on Chinese food, held a press conference for the launch of its second season on Wednesday in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. Around a hundred fans and media gathered to celebrate the event.&Chen Xiaoqing, the director of the show, explained to us the biggest difference between the first and second seasons.&"The classification of the food is more specific. Meat dishes, vegetarian food and desserts cooked in a variety of ways will be seen. With more funding for our documentary this time, we were able to experiment with different shooting styles," Chen said.&The second season of A Bite of China also consists of seven episodes, as with the first, and is currently in production. The season premiere will be in February during the Chinese New Year holiday.&While most shows about Chinese cuisine focuses only on the preparation process in the kitchen. A Bite of China, digs deeper into the geographical, historical and cultural dimensions of what Chinese people eat. Chen Xiaoqing, the director of the documentary series said that the success of it really comes down to three points. Good theme, good timing and good job from everyone.&The show showcases unique ingredients, famous dishes, and special food processing techniques, as well as local customs and scenery. Wang Siying, a devoted fan of the series, was invited to the event to share her thoughts.&"It&s brilliant because when I saw documentaries before in China, I never thought it could get so close to people&s hearts. When you eat something you don&t think there&s so much culture behind it. But A Bite of China tells us that," said Wang.&Beyond the colourful images of local food, there was something else that captured the audience&s eyes. The sophisticated design and story-telling style, which brings a fresh perspective to Chinese documentaries.&"Chinese TV production teams are becoming more and more professional. There&s more order and creativity involved. This also means that the Chinese documentary film industry will have a more specific division of labour and also a clear investment pattern in the future. Our industry is becoming more structured and sophisticated," said Chen.&One of the most asked questions at the end of the press conference was will A Bite of China be back for a third season, which Chen answered firmly, yes.

【扬州英语培训】寒冷冬天如何保持工作热情
寒冬已至，各大城市气温纷纷将至冰点。相应的，你的工作热情是否也被冻住了呢？&How to Stay Productive Through The Bleak Winter Months如何在阴冷的冬季保持工作效率Winter is in full swing. The days are shorter, darker and colder&and some workers will experience the &winter blues.&冬季正寒风凛冽。白天变的更加短暂、黑暗而寒冷&&一些员工们也将体验到&冬季抑郁&。&You might be more tired than usual, less active or unmotivated&and your level of productivity in the office may decline significantly. But there are ways to beat it. Here are 11 tips for staying productive at work during the bleak winter months.你可能会比平时感到更加疲倦，更加缺乏活力或者动力&&你在办公室中的工作效率可能也会显著下降。但是你有可以战胜它的方法。以下就是11个小贴士，它们能够让你在阴冷的冬季保持工作效率。&Get physical.锻炼身体Moving your body with regular exercise before, after or during work, especially outdoors, helps reduce stress and improve sleep, says Ned Russell, an executive vice president at Publicis Groupe. &And the sunshine you feel from being outside may give your spirits a much-needed lift.&在上班前后或者工作中间用规律性的锻炼来运动你的身体，尤其是进行室外运动，这有助于减轻压力和改善睡眠，阳狮集团的执行副总裁内德-罗素称，&你在户外所感受到的阳光可以给你的精神带来急需的振奋作用。&&Start your year over.重新开始你这一年If you think you&ve &blown it& for 2013 because you&ve already broken your New Year&s resolutions, think again, says Casey Moore, The Productivity Coach.如果你认为由于已经无法坚持自己的新年决心，因此你已经&搞砸&了2013年，再重新考虑一下，工作效率教练凯西-摩尔称。&First, simplify so you focus only on one or two. Next, start your new year today. January 1st is arbitrary anyway. Forget the old all-or-nothing thinking and restart your new habit any time you slip into old behaviors.& This may give you the motivation you need to be more productive at work.&首先简化你的目标，只专注于其中的一个或者两个。接着从今天开启你新的一年。不管怎样，每一天都可以是1月1日。忘记极端的旧时观念，无论何时只要你陷入了旧行为，就重新设立你的新习惯。&这可能会带给你动力，让你在工作中表现的更有效率。&&Spend time outside.花点时间去户外If you suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD)&and even if you don&t&get ten minutes of sunshine every day if possible, Moore says.如果你饱受季节性情绪失调的折磨&&就算你没有这份烦恼&&尽可能地每天在阳光下呆上10分钟，摩尔说。&Getting outside, if only for a little while, changes your perspective and reminds you that spring is just a little ways away.& Russell agrees. He says to take a break, if possible, with a brief stroll around the block of your office building. &The exposure will not only clear your head, it&ll brighten your outlook," he says.&走到室外，哪怕只是一小会儿，都会让你豁然开朗，并且提醒你春天就快要来临了。&罗素也赞同这个提议。他建议要尽可能地休息一下，在你的办公楼附近做一个简短的散步。&沐浴在阳光下不仅会令你的头脑变得清晰，它还会让你豁然开朗。&他说。&Keep your office or cubicle warm.令你的办公室或者小隔间保持温暖If you live in a colder climate and you&re chilly at work, your focus will be on how to get warm instead of how best to complete your next project, says Andy Teach, a corporate veteran and author of From Graduation to Corporation: The Practical Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder One Rung at a Time.如果你呆在一个寒冷的环境中，并且在工作时瑟瑟发抖，那么你所关注的重点就将会是如何取暖，而不是如何最好地完成你的下一个项目，安迪-蒂奇称，她是一位公司高管，同时还著有《从毕业到公司:稳步晋升的实用指导》。&It&s important to have a comfortable work environment, so find out where the thermostat is in your office and perhaps more importantly, find out who controls the thermostat and make sure they keep it at a comfortable temperature for you and your co-workers.&&拥有一个舒适的工作环境非常重要，所以搞清楚你办公室的自动调温器在哪儿，也许更为重要的是，搞清楚是谁在负责调节自动调温器，确保他们将温度调节到令你和你的同事感到舒适。&&Eat well.合理饮食Watch what you eat and drink, says executive coach Marian Morgan of Coaching That Works. &Comfort foods and sugary drinks will leave you sluggish and bloated. A heavy meal leading to a nap may sound like a good idea on the weekend, but especially during the week you&ll want to watch your sugar and carbohydrates intake,& she says. Warm yourself up with a cup of green tea to refresh, instead.注意控制你的饮食，Coaching That Works公司高管教练玛丽安-摩根称，&安慰性食物和含糖饮料不但会令你行动迟缓，而且还会让你身材臃肿。吃得太饱会让你昏昏欲睡，这在周末听起来可能是个好主意，但特别是在工作日你必须要注意自己对于糖和碳水化合物的摄入量。&她说。作为替代，你可以喝上一杯绿茶来温暖身心，振奋精神。&Set goals.设定目标The wintertime is ideal for focusing on new projects, Russell says. Even if you&re feeling a bit sluggish, set new goals and volunteer for a new assignment that excites you. Your initiative will not only give you a sense of accomplishment and make you more productive, but it may even impress your boss.冬天非常适合专注于新项目，罗素说。设定一些新的目标，并且主动提出承担一项能够令你感到振奋的新任务，即使你感觉有点动作迟缓。你的积极性将不仅带给你一种成就感，让你更有效率，它甚至还可能会给你的老板留下深刻的印象。&"Spring Clean" during the winter.在冬季进行&春季大扫除&&Many people wait until the weather warms up before they do their spring cleaning at home, but you can do it at work when it&s freezing outside,& Teach says.&很多人会等到天气暖和之后才在家里开始进行春季大扫除，但是你可以在室外寒风凛冽的时候进行办公室大扫除。& 蒂奇说。Take advantage of the fact that you prefer to be inside at this time of year. Go through your hard copy files and computer files and throw out or delete anything that is no longer useful to you. You will be less overwhelmed and will feel less stressed out if you do.利用你每年的这个时候都更喜欢呆在室内这个事实。仔细检查你的复印文件和计算机文件，并且扔掉或者删除所有对你而言已经无用的东西。在大扫除的过程中你会感到更加轻松，压力骤减。&Stay healthy.保持健康的身体More people get sick during the winter months than the rest of the year with flu, colds, etc., Teach says. &If you miss work due to illness, it only makes it that much harder when you go back and you&re constantly trying to catch up. It hurts your productivity.&大多数人在冬季的几个月间都比每年的其他时候更加容易生病，容易被流感和感冒等侵袭，蒂奇称。&如果你由于生病而缺勤，那么当你回去工作后只会更加忙碌，并且你得不断努力赶上工作进度。它降低了你的工作效率。&While it&s sometimes difficult or impossible to not to get sick when everyone else is, do what you can (take vitamins, wash you hands, etc.) to prevent it.虽然当每个人都生病的时候有时很难或者不可能不生病，但是你可以尽一切可能（服用维生素、洗手等等）来加以预防。&Take breaks.注意休息One of the best ways to increase productivity is to schedule planned breaks. A change in routine always nets positive results, especially from the winter doldrums, Morgan says. "A weekend away is renewing and energizing - whether it's boosting your vitamin D with an escape to sunny South Beach, or hitting the slopes in Vermont for some winter fun. If you plan ahead you will save some money."提高工作效率的最佳途径之一就是制定休息计划。在例行常规中加入点变化总是会带来积极的效果，特别是在冬季的抑郁期间，摩根说，&在周末去旅行总是能够令 人重焕生机，并且精神振奋&&无论你是跑去阳光明媚的迈阿密南海滩促进维生素D的生成，还是跑去佛蒙特州滑雪，享受一些冬季的乐趣。如果你提前计划，就可以节省下一些钱。&Short on time and cash? Plan a personal day to visit museums, have lunch with a friend, enjoy a day of pampering. Breaking your routine will reward you in so many ways, she says.没有这么多的时间和资金？那就计划一天属于自己的时间吧，你可以参观博物馆，与朋友共进午餐，享受放松的一天。打破你的例行常规将会在很多方面给你带来回报，她说。&Follow weather reports closely.密切关注天气预报There&s nothing worse than being late for work because of the weather, Teach says. &If it&s going to rain, sleet, hail, or snow the next day, then leave earlier so that you can arrive to work on time and not be stressed out first thing in the morning." If you're prepared, you'll be more focused and productive when you arrive.没有什么比由于天气原因而在上班时迟到更糟糕的事情了，蒂奇称。&如果第二天将要下雨、雨夹雪、冰雹或者雪，那么就早点出门，这样你就可以准时到达公司，而不用为早晨的第一件事而慌慌张张。&如果你做了充分准备的话，你到公司的时候注意力就会更加集中，并且工作效率也会更高。&Be social.多和同事交往Avoid eating lunch at your desk alone. Ask co-workers to join you in the cafeteria or at a nearby restaurant, Russell says. &Being social helps break your isolation and connect in new ways with others at work.& The happier you are, the more productive you&ll be.不要在你的办公桌上单独享用午餐。邀请同事和你一起去自助食堂或者附近的餐厅吃饭，罗素说。 &多和同事交往有助于打破你的孤立，并且用新的途径与同事产生联系。&你的快乐指数越高，你的工作效率也就会越高。

【扬州英语培训】面试三句话，马上有工作
To galvanize your job search and lead you to your new dream job, your communications with any prospective employer & whether via phone, email or during a job interview & must incorporate these three messages:为了让你找工作少走弯路并最终找到理想的工作，无论通过电话、电子邮件或是工作面试，你在与任何潜在雇主的交流中都应该包括以下三点信息：1. Here's what I've got.这是我已经能做的。&You&ll notice this isn&t &Here&s what I know.& Your employer doesn&t care about what you know. In fact, what you know has little relevance to your employer.可能你注意到了，我说的不是&这是我已经知道的。&你老板不会关心你所知道的。事实上，你知道的那些和你老板一点关系也没有。&It&s what you can do with what you know that really counts. Nothing else matters, but this is where the majority of people go wrong.真正重要的是你用知识能做些什么；别的什么不重要，但这恰恰是大部分人误解的地方。&Just because you have specialized knowledge doesn&t mean you should be employed.只因为你有专业知识就录用你是说不过去的。&2. Here's what I will do for you.这是我能为贵公司做的。&This is the step where you demonstrate your enthusiasm for the position.通过这一步，你可以向老板展示你对这个职位的热情。&Your attitude will come through in your interactions, so being positive is important. A negative attitude can be poisonous in this step.你的态度会在你们互动的过程中显露出来，所以保持积极的态度是很重要的。消极的态度在这里是致命的。&Keep in mind that many candidates have experienced the same hardships, but they bring positivity to their interviews. That positivity is it makes people want to work with you.你要记住&&很多其他的求职者处境也很艰难，但是他们在面试中表现得很积极。积极的态度能够影响他人，也会让别人愿意和你共事。&3. Here's what I want you to do next for me.这是我想让贵公司提供给我的。&Don&t ask about compensation and benefits. Instead, let the interviewer broach those topics. Interviewers will often ask applicants what compensation they&re seeking.不要自己开口问报酬和福利，而是要让面试官打开这个话题。面试官通常会询问求职者的预期薪酬。&When asked this question, a lot of interviewees will say they don&t know or cite a too-high or too-low figure based on guesswork.当回答这个问题的时候，很多面试者会说不知道，或者仅凭臆想说出一个过高或过低的数目。&In summary, employers are mostly interested in what you can do for them. They really don&t care about your background, except with respect to how you can use it for their benefit.总的来说，雇主最关心的是你能为公司做什么。他们不会关心你的背景，除非你的背景能为公司创收。

In third place was 'remuneration', which is often mispronounced as 'renumeration'.&anaesthetist&（麻醉师）一词在最容易发错音的单词榜单中名列第二，其发音难度在于Th和词末T音素之间的快速转换。第三难读的是&remuneration&（报酬）一词，经常被人们错读为&renumeration&。&With the numbers of Ts and Ss in the word, the fourth most difficult to pronounce was 'statistics' and 'ethnicity' was in fifth place.由于拼写中包含众多的T和S，&statistics&和&ethnicity&分别是第四和第五难读的单词。&Almost half of the 3,000 people surveyed admitted they often correct someone if they say something in the wrong way and a quarter of people said they thought mispronunciation showed a lack of intelligence.在3000名接受调查的人中，有一半承认自己在听到别人发音错误的时候都会纠正他们，四分之一的人认为发音错误是智力欠缺的表现。&But suprisingly in the list of admissions, Britons admitted that February was the 12th hardest word to spit out.但令人吃惊的是，在排名列表中英国人认为February这一单词在这张榜单中排名第十二。&A spokesman for Spinvox, a voicemail to text message service, which carried out the research, said: "Many words are difficult to say and when we struggle to pronounce a word correctly it makes us self-conscious about the way we speak.语音转文字短信服务公司Spinvox发起了此项研究，该公司发言人说：&许多单词都很难发音，当我们努力发出单词的正确读音时会自我意识到自己发音的方式。&&"A word one person finds easy to say, maybe difficult for the next person.

【扬州英语口语培训】关于《神探夏洛克》你还不知道的小知识
1.一切都从一次演讲开始
2006年，著名的福尔摩斯爱好者Mark Gatiss，受邀到国会大厦为一年一度的夏洛克福尔摩斯学会晚宴致辞，那天Gatiss还请了Steven Moffat作嘉宾。会上Gatiss向听众透露了一个BBC的会议，会议内容是讨论有没有可能对柯南道尔的作品进行再创作，做一档圣诞特辑。他和公司没能达成一致，但是当他&在无尽的环形走廊上泪奔，被那些不知道在想什么的门外汉气得口吐白沫&时，Gatiss碰见了John Simpson，后者刚从阿富汗首都喀布尔回来。Gatiss说&当他经过时，我碰了碰他的胳膊低声说：&我注意到，你最近去过阿富汗。&&这句话在Simpson心中埋下了一个想法，随后他和Moffat让这个想法萌芽，变成了现代版的《神探夏洛克》。&一个年轻的军医，在阿富汗受了伤，没有朋友，孤身在伦敦，&Gatiss吊着听众的胃口，&正在拮据时期，巧遇学医时的同学，那人说他认识一个正在找室友的人，那人还不错就是有点怪&&&Gatiss就这样向世上最难应付的一帮人兜售他和Moffat创作的夏洛克，那帮人点头了。
2. 苏门答腊路上并不存在废弃的地铁站
本季第一集《空灵柩》中，那节装满了炸药准备炸掉国会大厦的地铁车厢，其实是在西汉普斯特拍摄的，拍摄地点也不是个半完工的地铁站（虽然附近确实有个废弃的地铁站叫公牛灌木Bull&Bush），这个地方离威斯敏斯特很远，但Gatiss选了这个地方作为对《苏门答腊岛巨鼠》的巧妙致敬，这个故事在《萨塞克斯吸血鬼》里有提到（但没有深入展开）。夏洛克剧组没法弄到一节真的车厢，所以自制了伦敦地铁区域线列车车厢，不过远景拍摄时观众看到的地铁明显是银禧线。地铁爱好者们还很快指出了片中其他不实之处。
3.不是人人都喜欢Irene Adler的裸露戏份
在《贝尔戈维亚丑闻》中，Lara Pulver演绎的用近乎全裸迷惑了侦探的高级职业女施虐狂，原本该是一个与Holmes进行友好较量的女性对手，据说BBC为此收到超过100份投诉。不过有些原著死忠的抗议理由不止于此。许多博文的论点都是，柯南道尔在《波西米亚丑闻》中塑造的Irene Adler，是个强大的值得尊敬的女人，她绝不会允许自己沦为Moriarty的手下，或者在Holmes面前袒胸露背后就爱上他。Steven Moffat不同意女权主义者的说法，他说：&在原著里，Irene Adler赢过Sherlock Holmes的目的也只是和丈夫一起搬家逃走，这样的胜利不能体现女权主义。&
4.Holmes和Watson到碗里来
Speedy咖啡馆是剧中Holmes和Watson经常光顾买三明治的地方，它是高尔街上一家真的咖啡馆，靠近尤思顿&&BBC为贝克街221B选的替身。（试播集里这家店是Una Stubbs的角色开的，名叫哈德森太太的三明治轻食店Mrs Hudson&s Snax n' Sarnies，不过这个想法很快就被毙了）。现在从世界各地蜂拥而至的夏洛克饭可以在店里享受夏洛克主题小食，特别是夏洛克卷Sherlock Wrap（鸡肉，培根，车达奶酪，生菜，胡椒，红洋葱，黄瓜，辣椒酱&&&被紧紧的包起来就像夏洛克不外露的个性&）和华生卷Waston Wrap（烤蔬菜，菠菜，番茄，小洋葱，布利干酪，酸奶油&&&安全，温暖，治愈，就像华生的个性&）据说未来可能推出莫里亚蒂三明治Moriarty Sub。
5、而在韩国，他（差不多）是流行歌星
韩国流行音乐花美男组合SHINee用他们2012的主打歌曲Sherlock致敬BBC的剧集，搭配的MV里也满是令人想到Holmes的细节（小提琴，破旧的维多利亚时代装饰，一个印着&iWaston&的手提电脑），情节是花美男侦破了一起貌似鬼魂作祟的珠宝劫案。
6、Sherlock和Mrs Hudson以前就认识
Benedict Cumberbatch常说Una Stubbs（上图），在片中饰演他的房东Mrs Hudson，而在片场就像他的妈妈一样。Una Stubbs这么做不是没有理由，她是和Cumberbatch的妈妈Wanda Ventham同时期的演员（Ventham在《空灵柩》中以Sherlock母亲的身份惊喜出场，身边的Sherlock父亲也是Cumberbatch亲爹Timothy Carlton），Cumberbatch还小的时候，Stubbs就住在他们家附近。所以四岁的Benedict常被迫在公园长椅上或是街角，听上几小时Stubbs和妈妈的闲扯。Stubbs则说他&非常有礼貌&&是个可爱的孩子。&&
【扬州英语培训】让你的时间更好的用起来
新年来了，你有什么大计划？发现时间不够用？还是觉得有大把的时间等着你去浪费？时间正在一分一秒地溜走，英文里你该如何表达时间的紧迫感呢？against the clock&如果你为了准时完成一项任务，一直掐着表在做，就可以用上这个短语，它的意思是&争分夺秒&地要把活儿干完。&例：On our last project, we were working against the clock.上一个工程，我们一直都在争分夺秒地干。&pressed for time&pressed我们都知道有&压迫、紧迫&的意思，pressed for time用来表示时间紧迫。&例：I am pressed for time as I have a lot of work to do. &我时间很紧，因为我有许多事要做。&time is ticking away&这句话很形象，当你正焦急地等待着一件事情，看到时钟滴答滴地走着，一分一秒地过去，就会更加感到时间的紧迫。&例：We need to intervene before it's too late. Time's ticking away.趁着还不算晚，我应该插手这件事。时间可是一分一秒正在过去。&cut it/things fine&这个短语可以理解为我们常说的&掐着点儿&。表示一件事情刚好在要求地时间内完成，差一点可能就要来不及，耽误了。&例：It's cutting it a bit fine to get to the station at 9:45 when the train leaves at 9:50!火车9点50开，9点45到车站，这时间算得太紧了。&at the eleventh hour&这个短语出自《马太福音》， 说的是几个人给一个有钱人打工，但是不管是从一大早来一直干到夜里的，还是从夜里11点干到12点的，一天都拿同样的报酬。因此，at the eleventh hour 就表示在关键时间出现，有&紧要关头，最后时刻&的意思。&例：Their plan was called off at the eleventh hour.他们的计划在最后时刻被取消了。&down to the wire&这个短语源自赛马运动。wire在这里指赛马跑道的终点线。赛马要冲过终点线才能定胜负。这个短语要表达的也是一件事到了最后的紧要关头。&例：I never leave it down to the wire. &我从来不把工作拖到最后关头。&Better late than never.&&在这里用这句话小小地安慰一下有&拖延症&的小伙伴们，什么事情&迟做总比不做强。& 不过，新的一年刚刚开始，心中有了计划的小伙伴们还是抓紧时间，赶紧行动吧！
【扬州英语培训】2014增加正能量
It's impossible to go an entire year without navigating through some challenges -- but despite any setbacks, many are approaching 2014 with an optimistic outlook. Almost 50 percent of Americans believe their fortunes will improve in the new year. Is 2014 going to be the year of positivity?
一整年都顺顺利利地通过挑战是不可能的--- 但是，尽管会遭遇挫折，许多人还是以积极的心态迎接2014年的到来。几乎半数的美国人相信，新的一年会有好运降临。2014年会是充满正能量的一年吗？
According to some experts, happiness is a choice that we can make -- not something that is entirely influenced by external circumstances. By simply deciding to be happy, we can adopt and live out a more positive life. So instead of making resolutions to accomplish specific things (be honest: is that gym membership going to be the only thing that will make you happy next year?), setting a goal to make 2014 your most positive year yet is more attainable than you think.
一些专家认为，快乐并非完全受外在环境的影响，而是我们可以做出的选择。只要下定决心保持快乐的心情，我们就可以选择过积极的生活。所以，比起下定决心完成一些具体的事情（说实话，去健身馆真的能成为新的一年里唯一使你开心的事情吗？），设立目标，使2014年成为你生活中最具正能量的一年，比你认为的更容易实现。
Below find eight ways to practice more positivity in 2014. Then tell us in the comments, what are some positive habits you're planning to adopt in the new year?
以下8种方法可以使你的2014年更具正能量。请在之后的评论中告诉我们，在新的一年里，你打算采用哪些积极的习惯呢？
1. Go outside.走出家门
Research proves that going outside helps reduce stress, increases your levels of serotonin and elevates your mood.
研究证明，走出家门有助于减少压力、产生使人产生愉悦情绪的血清素，从而改善你的心情。
2. Log some time with your nephews (or nieces, siblings or neighbor's kids).
多花点时间与你的外甥（外甥女、侄子、侄女或邻居家的孩子）相处。
Little kids can have the best outlooks on life.
小孩子拥有对生活最好的态度。
3. Meditate.冥想
Plenty of research shows that meditation can help promote positivity and happiness. Bonus: It can even lower your blood pressure.
大量研究表明，冥想有助于提高积极性和幸福感，它甚至有降低血压的额外功效。
4. Play with your pet.与你的宠物玩耍
Pet ownership has been proven to boost happiness and banish stress. Thanks, Fido!
有证据表明，养宠物可以增加幸福感，释放压力。
5. Unplug every once in a while.定期离开网络
Facebook, texting, Twitter, Snap Chat... we're bombarded with information daily -- and not all of it is good. Studies have shown that spending time on social media can actually make us feel lonely and bad about ourselves. Turn off that computer and let yourself be happy.
上脸谱网、发短信、刷微博、发送即时讯息&&我们每天都在遭受信息轰炸，而这些并非对我们都有好处。已有研究表明，在社交媒体上花费时间实际上会使我们觉得孤单难过。关掉电脑，去做让自己开心的事情吧。
6. Say thank you.表达感谢
Gatitude can help you focus on the positive aspects in your life. Send a thank you note to someone you care about, just because. You'll feel happier for it.
向他人表达感谢可以使你关注生活中的积极面。给你关心的人送一张感谢卡吧，只是因为你会为此感到开心的。
7. Read more books.多看书
Aside from their unconventional health benefits, good books can put your mind in another place -- perhaps, even, a positive place.
好的书籍不仅使你身体健康，还可以使你的思想超越现实进入另一处所在&&或许甚至是一处积极所在。
8. Dance (or sing) it out.跳起来（或者唱起来）
Ever notice how when you're grooving to your favorite tune or screaming lyrics as you drive down the road, your mood elevates? Turns out that's no coincidence. Studies have shown that singing and dancing can be an instant, positive mood booster.
有没有注意到，当你开车的时候，你会随着播放最爱的音乐或者大声唱出歌词而开心起来？事实证明这并非巧合。研究表明，唱歌或者跳舞，可以立即给你带来好心情。
【扬州英语培训】三步提升你的幸福感
乐观心理学家马丁塞利格曼定义的。H(幸福)=S(个人生理幸福感受的固定指数)+C(个人生活状态)+V(个人主观选择)。接下来我们将着眼于能提升幸福指数的生活状态。&In the past two weeks we have looked at the happiness formula defined by positive psychologist Martin Seligman, where H (happiness) = S (your biological set point for feeling happy) + C (the conditions of your life) + V (the voluntary choices you make). Next, we'll look at the conditions in life that can improve our happiness quotient.过去两周我们研究了一项幸福公式，这是由乐观心理学家马丁塞利格曼定义的。H(幸福)=S(个人生理幸福感受的固定指数)+C(个人生活状态)+V(个人主观选择)。接下来我们将着眼于能提升幸福指数的生活状态。&Step 1: Peace and quiet 第一步：平和宁静&Jonathon Haidt in his excellent book, 'The Happiness Hypothesis', notes that research shows that we can never completely adapt to new or chronic noise pollution. Loud noises trigger one of our most primitive fear responses (the other is the fear of falling) and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise. Noisy neighbors are one of the most emotive causes of domestic upset for a very good reason. It is essential to have some peace and quiet every day. If you are unfortunate enough to live somewhere noisy, persist with complaining to your local council. Additionally, try wearing wax earplugs to give you some respite. If you need your TV, radio or music up loud, wearing headphones demonstrates altruism to your neighbors, which will make you and them feel good.&乔纳森海迪在他的优秀著作《幸福假说》当中提到，研究调查显示，我们不可能完全适应噪音污染，无论是新近的还是长期的。巨大噪声会引起我们某种面对恐惧本能反映(另一种是对于坠落的恐惧)，如果周遭噪音喧闹，我们不可能完全放松。这样看来，吵闹的邻居的确对我们家庭不和起到很大影响。每日保持平和宁静事关重要。如果你的生活环境不幸比较吵，请一定要坚持去居委会投诉。另外，试试实用耳塞，可能会缓解噪声。如果你一定要大声看电视、听收音机放音乐的话，记得戴上耳机。别影响邻里，这样可以使双方都感到舒适。&Step 2: Relationships 第二步：人际关系&This is the most important of all the external conditions that can improve your happiness quotient. Often our deepest sources of unhappiness are found in poor relationships with others. A colleague at work who bullies or dismisses us creates untold wretchedness. A cruelly conflictual relationship with a partner or lover leaves us feeling betrayed and abandoned. A relationship with our parents or children which is not based on compassionate, unconditional regard creates isolation and misery. We never fully adapt to hostile relationships, they invidiously contaminate our wellbeing, squatting inside our minds as unresolved, destructive ruminations. When faced with such relationships, the most positive thing we can do is to either mend the relationship by confronting what is going wrong or learn to move on.&这是增加幸福指数的一条至关重要的内部条件。我们感到不快乐的最深层原因，往往就是人际关系欠佳。如果一个在职同事对我们表示威吓的话，会造成难以言语的抑郁情绪。与拍档或者爱人的关系陷入残酷竞争之中，会让我们感到背叛和背弃。与父母孩子之间的关系缺乏同情心和无私关心，那么这会造成隔阂生产痛苦。我们不可能适应这种敌对关系，这种不良的人际关系会损害身心健康，长久留存在我们心里，会让人陷入无以解决的恶性心理困境。当我们面临这类问题时，最好的办法，就是直面难题，挽救关系，或者学着继续前进。&Step 3: Share 第三步：分享&If I have discovered conditions or choices in life that have significantly improved my wellbeing, I would like to share them with you. Passing on what works is essential to improve our own and the wellbeing of others.&如果我发觉生活状态或者做的某项决定对幸福生活有极大帮助的话，我很想说出来同你们一起分享。将有用的发现与更多人分享，这对增进自己的幸福和他人的幸福都有积极作用。&

& & & & 随着赴英国留学人群的不断增加，英国留学条件每年也都有所变化，针对2014年的英国留学条件，下文做了三方面的介绍。&一、去英国留学的条件之英语基础& & & &申请去英国留学需要有一定的英文基础。英国留学签证最新草案规定，原来只需具备B1级的英语程度，现在必须提高到普通B2级，英语不合格的将不给予入境签证。这将直接影响申请赴英读本科以下课程的学生，他们的申请难度加大。针对B1和B2的英语水平的差别B1相当于雅思3.5-4.5分，B2相当于雅思5-6.5分。& & & & 欧洲语言教学大纲对于B1和B2的规定& &B1：用清楚并标准的语言阐述有关工作、学校或爱好等熟悉话题谈话的基本要点。在国外旅行时能自如地应对可能发生的一般情况。在谈到感兴趣和熟悉的话题时，能简明、连贯地表达自己的意思。&& &B2：可以毫不费力地与英语为母语的对话者交流，并流利地表达自己的意见。能理解比较复杂的书面语言中实际和抽象题材的主要意思，并在自己的专业范围内，参加技术性讨论，对广泛的题材能写出清楚、详尽的文件。&& &目前英国边境管理局认可的英语语言测试主要包括以下几种：&& &1、IELTS（雅思）最低要求为听说读写各单项不低于4.0分；&& &2、TOEFL（托福）最低要求为听13分，读8分，写17分，说19分；&& &3、PTEAcademic（普特学术）最低要求为听说读写各单项不低于43分。&& &二、去英国留学的条件之经济基础&& &留学英国每年的学费和生活费约合人民币18-25万元之间，个别研究生课程可能花费更高，不同类型的学校，不同的专业，费用也是有差别的。一般来说，私立学校比公立学校的收费高。通常是文科收费最少，法律、工商和艺术类科目收费较高，科技和医学专科学费最贵。去英国留学所需要的费用说便宜也不便宜，但是相对于在英国接受的教育，所处的环境，还是比较值得的。因此，在出国前应准备足够的资金以完成学业。&& &三、去英国留学的条件之专业基础&& &出国留学的人分为不同的年龄段，不同的层次，因此英国学校对于在留学之前所接受的教育也是有所要求的。一般来说，初、高中生留英不需任何专业基础，只要申请好学校，拿到签证，就可以去国外读自己喜欢的课程；而出国攻读本科以上学历的学生，需有一定的专业基础知识，因为国外的教育模式跟国内还是有一定差距，如果专业跨度太大，学习起来就会有困难。

Let's not gild the lily, dear.　　别太花枝招展，亲爱的。　　(gild the lily：作多余的修饰，画蛇添足。还可以说是paint the lily)　　10. 香饽饽　　在晚宴上，伯爵夫人对公爵说，乡下总是女多男少，因此：　　A single man outranks the Holy Grail.　　单身汉在这里可是众星捧月(单身汉到哪儿都是香饽饽)。　　(Holy Grail: &宗&圣杯，圣盘)　　11. 少说几句!　　Mary带公爵去了男仆住的阁楼，这事儿被妹妹Edith抓住不放，在餐桌上问个没完，来看看众人是怎样堵她的嘴的：　　Don't be such a chatterbox, Edith.　　别絮絮叨叨的，伊迪丝。　　Will you hold your tongue!　　少说几句行吗!　　12. 没上钩/空手套白狼　　公爵眼看Mary继承财产无望，立刻决定打道回府。Edith在一旁调侃失望的Mary：　　So he slipped the hook?　　金龟婿没上钩吗?　　Mary也毫不示弱，反唇相讥，指出Edith连继承家产的希望都没有。　　At least I'm not fishing with no bait.　　至少我没有空手套白狼。　　13. 得了便宜还卖乖　　伯爵和伯爵夫人讨论Mary的婚事，伯爵夫人不理解丈夫的做法，她说：　　Don't pretend to be a child because it suits you.　　别得了便宜还卖乖。　　14. 孤燕不成夏　　公爵不但拒绝了Thomas，还对他说：　　And one swallow doesn't make a summer.　　孤燕不成夏。　　这句话也译为&一燕不成夏&。在西方，燕子每年冬天在非洲过冬，到了春天，就飞回欧洲筑巢。早在公元前三世纪，希腊哲学家亚里士多德就留意到这个现象。他在《左伦理学》(Nicomachaean Ethics)里说：One swallow does not make a spring。这句话意思很明显：个别燕子早来了，不证明春天已经来临了。凭个别现象草率下判断是不智的。　　现在，人们往往用one swallow does not make a summer这成语来说只解决了一个问题，或者只渡过了一个难关，并不表示以后就一帆风顺了，例如：Approval has been obtained, but don&t imagine that everything will from now onwards be plain sailing. One swallow does not make a spring.(事情获得批准了，不过，别以为从此一切都会一帆风顺了。一燕不成夏啊。)
【扬州英语培训】美国习语一则：中途换马
十九世纪美国内战期间担任总统的林肯。林肯在竞选连任的时候遇到了重重困难。当时他对选民说: "Don't change horses in the middle of the stream."&Horses就是&马&的意思，in the middle of the stream是指&河流的中间&。"Don't change horses in the middle of the stream"也就是说：不要在过河过到一半的时候换你骑的马。就美国选举来说，这个俗语的意思就是：即便你们对我不满意，但是目前美国问题很多，不是换总统的时候。林肯的这句话很有名，竞选连任的官员经常引用他这句话。我们来举一个例子吧：&例句-1: I may have made a few mistakes in the last four years. But, my friends, let me tell you this--with the economy in bad shape, this is no time to change horses in the middle of the stream.这位竞选连任的官员说：我可能在过去四年内犯了一些错误，但是朋友们，让我告诉你们，在目前经济那么糟糕的时候换人是不行的。&&下面我们再举一个选民说的话：&例句-2: I kind of like this new man because he has some fresh ideas. But I guess I'll vote for the old guy who has the job now. Somehow, I just don't like to change horses in the middle of the stream.这个选民说：我倒是很喜欢这个新的候选人，因为他有些新主意。不过，我想我还是投票给那个现任的官员。不知什么缘故，我就是不喜欢中途换人。&******&很早以前在收音机和电视还没有出现的时代，竞选官职的人为了吸引公众的注意往往会雇一个乐队，让他们在一辆马车上演奏。马车上贴了许多标语，鼓励人们投某某人的票。这种有乐队的马车就叫bandwagon。要是这个候选人特别受人拥护，那些无足轻重的小政客就会登上那辆马车，让人们知道他们和这位名人关系很好。这就是jump on the bandwagon。&从字面上来看，这是&跳上有乐队的马车&的意思。实际上这种马车已经不存在，但是这个俗语还是经常使用的，它的意思是：站在某候选人一边，表示支持。下面是一个一直在观望的政客说的话：&例句-3: After the latest polls I think that Green is going to win. Let's jump on the bandwagon right now and endorse the man before we get left behind.这位政客似乎已经看准了风向。他说：根据最近的民意调查，我想格林是会当选的。我们得马上表态支持他，否则我们就会落后于形势了。&下面是一个对选举很感兴趣的人说的话：&例句-4: Sometimes you can tell who is going to win a big office like President or Governor by watching how many other politicians come running to jump on his bandwagon and get credit for supporting him.这个人说：有时候，你只要看有多少政客急急忙忙表态站在某个候选人一边，并想以支持他得到好处，你就可以知道谁会当选像总统或州长那样的重要官职了。&******&Don't change horses in the middle of the stream. & 不要在过河过到一半的时候换你骑的马&例句: I may have made a few mistakes in the last four years. But, my friends, let me tell you this--with the economy in bad shape, this is no time to change horses in the middle of the stream. 我可能在过去四年内犯了一些错误，但是朋友们，让我告诉你们，在目前经济那么糟糕的时候换人是不行的。&jump on the bandwagon & 站在某候选人一边，表示支持&例句: After the latest polls I think that Green is going to win.
