导语: 莫迪亚诺(Patrick Modiano 1945— ),法国小说家,1945年7月30日出生在法国的布洛涅-比扬古,是法国评论界一致公认的当今法国最有才华的作家之一。莫迪亚诺的作品探索和研究当今人的存在及其与周围环境、现实的关系。前期小说大都以神秘的父亲和二次大战的环境为主题,运用大量的回忆、想象,把现实和虚构结合起来,描写并未经历过的故事。
The Nobel Prize for Literature yet again eluded the popular Japanese writer Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood). But this year’s winner, dark horse that he is, deserves the honor.
今年诺贝尔文学奖结果已揭晓,人气颇高的日本作家村上春树再次落选,而这位半路杀出的“黑马”却当之无愧。
French writer Patrick Modiano, 69, has won the 2014 Nobel Prize for Literature for works that made him “a Marcel Proust (a well-known French author in the 19th century) of our time” with tales often set during the Nazi occupation of Paris during World War II, the Swedish Academy announced on Oct 9.
10月9日,瑞典皇家科学院宣布,现年69岁的法国作家帕特里克•莫迪亚诺获得2014年诺贝尔文学奖。因其作品多以二战期间纳粹统治下的巴黎为背景,莫迪亚诺被喻为“当代的马塞尔•普鲁斯特(19世纪著名法国作家)”。
Relatively unknown outside of France and a renowned media recluse, Modiano’s works have centered on memory, loss and the puzzle of identity. He has written novels, children’s books and film scripts.
在法国之外,莫迪亚诺鲜为人知,也很少接受媒体采访。他的作品集中探讨记忆、遗忘以及身份之谜。他不仅写过小说,还写过儿童读物和电影剧本。
The academy said the award of 8 million Swedish crowns (about 6.8 million yuan) was “for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies”.
瑞典皇家科学院称,之所以将800万瑞典克朗(约680万元人民币)的诺奖奖金颁给他,是因为他“以记忆的艺术,唤起了人类最难以捉摸的命运。”
Peter Englund, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, noted that Modiano’s works are “always variations of the same thing, about memory, about loss, about identity, about seeking.”
瑞典皇家科学院常任秘书彼得•英格伦这样评价莫迪亚诺的作品:“(他的作品)是同一事物的各个方面,关于记忆、遗失、身份以及寻觅。”
In France, Modiano is a respected writer, The New York Times reported. His books, often coming in shorter than 200 pages, are widely read. Many of his fictional works are set in Paris during World War II, and some play with the detective genre.
据《纽约时报》报道,在法国,莫迪亚诺是一位受人尊敬的作家。他的书通常不到200页,却被广为阅读。他的小说多以二战时的巴黎为背景,一些则涉猎侦探题材。
Refined repetition
优雅的“重复”
His first novel La Place de l’Etoile, published in 1968, remains probably his best known book and touched on many themes that he would return to throughout his career, including the fate of the Jews under the Nazis.
莫迪亚诺的处女作《星形广场》出版于1968年,至今仍是他最著名的作品。该书包含的诸多主题,都贯穿了他整个的创作生涯,包括,纳粹统治下犹太人的命运等。
Modiano, reacting to the award, said he felt like he had been writing versions of the same book for many years.
对于获奖一事,莫迪亚诺说,他觉得自己多年来不过是在写同一本书的各种版本。
“What I am keen to see are the reasons why they chose me... One can never really be one’s own reader,” he told a news conference in Paris. “Even more so because I have the impression of writing the same book for 45 years.”
他在巴黎的新闻发布会上表示,“我很想知道他们为何选中我……因为没有一个人能真正成为自己的读者。而且我觉得自己45年来一直在写同一本书。”
“Of the unique things about him, one is of course his style, which is very precise, very economical. He writes small, short, very elegant sentences,” Englund said. “And he returns to generally the same topics again and again, simply because these topics cannot be exhausted.”
英格伦则说,“他有许多与众不同之处,言简意赅的写作风格就是其中之一,他笔下的句子短小、文雅。他一次次回到相同的主题,只因为这些都是永恒的主题。”
“After each novel, I have the impression that I have cleared it all away,” Modiano told France Today in a 2011 interview. “But I know I’ll come back over and over again to tiny details, little things that are part of what I am.”
在2011年接受《今日法国》采访时,莫迪亚诺说,“每写完一本小说,我觉得自己已将其完全抛于脑后,但我知道自己还是会一次次在细节中回归,因为那些微小之处正是我的一部分。”
“In the end, we are all determined by the place and the time in which we were born.”
“最终,我们都由自己出生时的时间和空间所决定。”
Modiano is not an unfamiliar name in Chinese literary circle. Many of his works have been translated into Chinese and have been an influence on some Chinese writers. The late writer Wang Xiaobo, for example, opened his own novel Temple of Eternal Life with the opening sentences from Modiano’s Missing Person: “I am nothing. Nothing but a pale shape.”
在中国文学圈中,莫迪亚诺并不是一个陌生的名字。他的很多作品都被译成中文,影响了一批中国作家。其中,已故作家王小波就曾将他《暗店街》中的句子“我的过去,一片朦胧。”作为自己小说《万寿寺》的开篇语。

巴黎,不仅是世界的一个政治、经济、科技、文化、时尚中心,而且是一座旅游胜地,以它独有的魅力每天吸引无数来自各大洲的宾客与游人。下面读文网小编为大家带来旅游英语法国巴黎英语介绍,欢迎大家阅读!
卢浮宫(Louvre)
这个举世闻名的艺术宫殿始建于12世纪初,当时是用作防御目的,后来经过一系列的扩建和修缮逐渐成为一个金碧辉煌的王宫。从16世纪起,弗朗索瓦一世开始大规模的收藏各种艺术品,以后各代皇帝延续了这个传统,充实了卢浮宫的收藏。如今博物馆收藏的艺术品已达40万件,其中包括雕塑,绘画,美术工艺及古代东方,古代埃及和古希腊罗马等7个门类。1981年,法国政府将这座精美的建筑进行了大规模的整修,从此卢浮宫成了专业博物馆。值得一提的是卢浮宫正门入口处有一个透明金字塔建筑,它的设计者就是著名的美籍华人建筑师贝聿铭。
埃菲尔铁塔(La tour Eiffel)
建于1889年是为当时的国际博览会而建的,建好后遭到很多非议,说是一堆烂铁破坏了巴黎的美。如今,这座曾经保持世界最高建筑纪录四十多年的铁塔成为巴黎最重要的标志。
浪漫的巴黎人给铁塔取了一个美丽的名字--"云中牧女"。埃菲尔铁塔是为隆重纪念法国1789年资产阶级革命100周年在轰动世界的国际博览会举行之际而建的。以设计人法国著名建筑工程师古斯塔夫·埃菲尔的名字命名,并在塔下为埃菲尔塑了一座半身铜像。1889年适逢法国大革命100周年纪念,法国政府决定隆重庆祝,在巴黎举行一次规模空前的世界博览会,以展示工业技术和文化方面的成就,并建造一座象征法国大革命和巴黎的纪念碑。筹委会本来希望建造一所古典式的、有雕像、碑体、园林和庙堂的纪念性群体,但在700多件应征方案里,选中了桥梁工程师埃菲尔(G·Eiffel,1832-1923)的设计:一座象征机器文明、在巴黎任何角落都能望见的巨塔。
巴黎圣母院
(Notre Dame de Paris)位于巴黎的发源地西岱岛,建于1163年,历时四百年完工,是哥特式教堂的代表作。巴黎圣母院内部装潢严谨肃穆,彩色玻璃窗设计引人,飞扶壁及怪兽出水口惟妙惟肖。
凯旋门
(Arc de Triomphe)地处宽阔的星星戴高乐广场。这里是香榭丽舍大街的尽头,又是沙佑山丘的最高点。从戴高乐广场向四面八方延伸12条大道。宏伟、壮丽的凯旋门就耸立在广场中央的环岛上面。这座拱门是在拿破仑时期1806年由夏尔格兰负责动工建筑的。根据拿破仑的命令,它被用来纪念法国大军。凯旋门它只有一个拱洞,上为桶形穹窿,其规模超过了罗马的康斯坦丁凯旋门。高50米,宽45米,凯旋门的每一面上都有巨幅浮雕。其中最著名也是最精美的的一幅就是位于面向香榭丽舍大街一面右下侧的那幅浮雕,上面描绘了1792年义勇军出征的情景,这一名作取名《马赛曲》。拿破仑大捷庆祝仪式的场面则被刻在这幅浮雕上方的其他位置,在顶端的盾形饰物上刻有每场战役的名称。1920年在拱洞下建了一处“无名战士”,每到傍晚,这里便燃灭的火焰。建筑物里还有一座小开支的纪念馆,馆内记载着这座纪念性建筑物的历史,在那里,游人可以看到8位将军的名字,其中一些人的名字下面划着线,那是因这些人都是在战斗中阵亡的。

雅思,即International English Language Testing System是去英联邦国家留学必备条件之一,也是英语学习者检验水平的有效途径之一。下面为大家进行雅思听力题型及答题方法简介,希望对大家有帮助。
下面雅思为大家整理的是关于听力考试题型的介绍,其中对于雅思听力考试的考察重点和答题方法等也做了一些介绍,非常值得大家在备考的初期,尤其是初次参加雅思考试的考生作为了解听力特点之用。
雅思听力部分
雅思听力通常有四段录音,四十个问题,考试内容以大量的真实的语言环境为素材,前两段内容涉及一般生活及社会形态、人际关系等,后两段则涉及教育性、学术性、世界性等的内容。 考生需根据听到的录音内容回答四十个问题,题型为多项选择,填空,完成句子等,考生只能听一次录音,不能重复。因此,考生在听读的同时,还要边写。
雅思听力题型剖析
1. Multiple choice ,即要求考生从题目中给出的选择题中选 出一个或多个正确答案;
2. Short-answer question ,即要求考生用几个单词或短语回答问题,通常一道题允许有多个类似答案均可
3. Sunstone compilation ,即要求考生补充题目中缺漏部分,即填空
4. notes /summary/diagram/ flow chart/table complication 完成备忘录/摘要/图表/流程图/表格
5.beling a diagram which has numbered parts
6.Classification
7.Matching
雅思听力考察要点
1. 仔细阅读试题指导和所有的问题。
2. 快速分析所有答案选项。
3.听懂大概的信息。
4.听清具体的信息。
5.边听边写。
6.预测可能的答案。
7.排除不可能的答案。
8.仔细听关键词和词组。
9.听力答案经常被强调或重复。
10.多做练习,熟悉题型。
雅思听力题型答题要点:
特点是多项选择题数量很少,且以在数个图中选择为主。比如在一段听力对话中,A告诉B要在某个银行门口约会,并描述赴约的路线。四个选择分别是四个街区平面图,在每个图中银行所处的位置不同,要求考生根据录音内容指出哪一幅图是对话中所描述的图。
大部分题不是多项选择题,要由考根据录音内容填空。比如,考生要答出录音中描述的某个事件发生的时间、地点。再比如,考生要根据录音内容简要回答WHICH,WHAT,WHY,WHO等问题。很多考生的一个共同困难是,不仅要边听边读,还要边写。如果没有做过大量的针对性很强的练习,又不熟悉这种听力考试的形式,要想获得理想的分数是比较困难的。这一部分共有40道题左右。
以上就是关于雅思听力题型和答题方法的介绍,其中对于雅思听力考试的特点和题型的介绍是重点,需要大家在备考的时候,对各类题型的特点都有详细的掌握,这样才能把注意力放在录音内容上,也才能更好的解答相关题目。最后,雅思预祝大家在雅思考试中取得好成绩!

旧金山(San Francisco),又译“三藩市”、“圣弗朗西斯科”,美国加利福尼亚州太平洋沿岸港口城市,世界著名旅游胜地、加州(人口)第四大城市。旧金山临近世界著名高新技术产业区 硅谷(Silicon Valley),是世界最重要的高新技术研发基地和美国西部重要的金融中心。旧金山是一个度假的天堂。文史景观赏心悦目,餐馆佳肴令人惊喜,大饭店的富丽超乎想象。游客所期望的美国大城市中的戏剧表演和体育运动,这里也应有尽有。旧金山的最强音是移民们迸发出的热情,这是一个令人陶醉的文化混合体。下面读文网小编为大家带来旅游英语之美国旧金山英语简介,欢迎大家阅读!
the golden gate bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world.
even people who hate the usa love san francisco. it has an atmosphere of genteel (彬彬有礼的;有教养的)chic(高尚、别致) mixed with offbeat(不跟随时尚主流的;非传统的;特异的)innovation, and a selfeffacing(自我谦逊的)quality so blatantly missing from new york and la.
one of the usa's most attractive cities, san francisco's hilly streets provide some gorgeous glimpses of the san francisco bay and its famous bridges. this is a mosaic(马赛克式的东西)of a city, a big picture made from the colorful tiles of bustling chinatown, gay castro (旧金山一著名同性恋社区)and faux-hemian(法语词,故意表现得质朴童稚的)north beach.
san francisco covers the tip of a 30mi (50km) peninsula (半岛) in northern california, with the pacific ocean on its western side and the san francisco bay to the north and east. san francisco is just one of many cities in the bay area; others include oakland (east across the bay bridge), berkeley (just north of oakland) and san jose (an hour's drive southeast of san francisco, near the southern tip of the bay)。 marin county and the wine country lie to the north, across the golden gate bridge.
a newly restored street car on market street
the most touristed part of the city resembles a slice of pie, with van ness ave and market st making the two sides and the embarcadero the round edge of the pie. the steaming toppings of this homebaked slice are the classy shops around union square, the highrise financial district, the classy civic center, the down-and-out but up-and-coming tenderloin, swanky(华丽的) nob hill and russian hill, chinatown, north beach and the epicenter of tourist kitsch, fisherman's wharf(渔人码头)。 to the south of market st lies soma, an upwardly mobile warehouse zone of clubs and bars that fades in the southwest into the mission - the city's latino quarter - and then the castro, the center of gay life.
making a circuit of the 49-mile drive is a good way to check out almost all of the city's highlights(最有意思或精彩的部分)。 the route is well posted with instantly recognizable seagull signs, but a map and an alert navigator are essential. do yourself a favor and allow a whole day to complete the circuit.
greyhound is the only regular long-distance bus company operating to the city - all bus services arrive and depart at the transbay terminal in soma. amtrak's rail network connects the bay area with the rest of the continental us and canada. its main stations are in oakland and emeryville, both in the east bay. caltrain links san francisco with the peninsula and san jose; its depot is in soma.
旧金山坐落于加利福尼亚州西北部,美国西海岸中点,是太平洋沿岸仅次于洛杉矶的第二大港市,是加利福尼亚州的第三大城市。面积119平方公里,人口75万,是美国的第12位。大市区包括附近4个县和奥克兰、伯克利等城镇,面积7475平方公里。城市三面环海,座落在宽不足10公里的半岛北端,介于太平洋和圣弗朗西斯科湾之间,北临金门海峡。市域内丘陵起伏,有双峰山、戴维森山,最著名者为诺布山;沿海地带较为平坦。南流的萨克拉门托河和北流的圣华金河在城市附近汇合后,向西注入圣弗朗西斯科湾。
旧金山1776年为西班牙移民拓居地。1806年俄国在此设哨所,作为当时阿拉斯加的物资供应站。1821年属墨西哥。1846年在墨西哥战争中被美国人所夺取,并于1847年正式改名为旧金山,当时还只是一个居民490多人的小镇。1848年附近地区发现金矿,大批淘金者涌入,包括第一批中国"契约劳工"。1850年设市时,人口已增至2.5万人,成为贸易和为矿业服务的中心,附近地区的农业也有所发展。18邱年后随着横贯大陆铁路的通达和港区设施的逐步完善,城市迅速发展。1880年后开始向海湾以东地区扩展,形成若干卫星城镇,19世纪末,人口已达34万。1906年大地震时全城80%建筑被毁,后迅速重建。1914年巴拿马运河通航,港口日益繁荣,贸易量激增。第二次世界大战中,为军需物资的重要供应站。战后,工、商、金融、旅游服务业和市政建设均有较大发展,大市区由单一中心扩展为由旧金山、海湾东区(奥克兰)和圣何塞三大中心组成的城镇群。
旧金山居民民族构成复杂,其中非白种人约占总人口2/5以上,以黑人、华人、日本人、菲律宾人居多。来自世界各地的移民分区而居,形成语言文化、风俗习惯和宗教礼仪迥异的社区。如市中心黑人聚居的菲尔莫尔区,华人集中的"中国城",以及小大胶区(日本人)、卡尼区(菲律宾人)、北滩拉丁区(意大利人)、俄罗斯山区(墨西哥人)、萨特里-菲尔莫尔区(俄罗斯人)等。
旧金山是美国最有特色的城市之一,城区中心街道呈格子状向东西、南北伸展。住宅区房屋密集程度很高。马基特大街为最繁华的商业街,从市中心伸向城东北隅山腰;金门路一带高层建筑林立;蒙哥马利街及其附近地区为金融区,有"西部华尔街"之称,高52层的美洲银行大厦就耸立在这里。城东北部为主要住宅区,房屋盘山而建,街道迂回曲折,坡度较大,使用独特的交通工具缆车。伯克利为大学城,有加利福尼亚大学和各种科研机构。公共图书馆系统规模很大,并多教堂、剧院。滨海山城的优美景色,丰富多采的风情,以及金门公园、水上世界公园、海滩、电报山等旅游点,每年吸引数以百万计的游客。
旧金山的气候一年都是象春天一样的温暖,平均气温是20℃左右,在冬天也可以穿单衣到处游览。夏天潮气不大所以非常的舒服。因海风大的缘故,出门时应多带一件衣服。除了冬天这里一般不会下雨,晚上形成的浓雾早上就会全部消失。

迈阿密(Miami)是佛罗里达州第二大城市,位于佛罗里达半岛比斯坎湾。迈阿密是国际性的大都市,在金融、商业、媒体、娱乐、艺术和国际贸易等方面拥有重要的地位,也是许多公司、银行和电视台的总部所在。是文化的大熔炉,受庞大的拉丁美洲族群和加勒比海岛国居民的影响很大,与北美洲、南美洲、中美洲以及加勒比海地区在文化和语言上关系密切,因此有时还被称为“美洲的首都”。下面读文网小编为大家带来旅游英语之美国迈阿密英语简介,欢迎大家阅读!
it used to be called ‘god's waiting room'. and even today, if you mention miami to someone who hasn't been here or read about it lately, they might conjure up(回忆)a blurry memory of octogenarians(八十多岁)mingling poolside(游泳池边)while aunt sadie implored them to wait half an hour after eating before going into the water. today the old folks mingle with fashion designers, bikini(比基尼泳装)models, and a city that once had the highest murder rate in the us attracts more than 11 million tourists a year.
the greater miami area, which includes miami and miami beach as well as distinctive neighborhoods like little havana and little haiti, is a melting pot that america's founding fathers would be proud of. half of miami's population is hispanic(美籍西班牙人), and its immigrant communities focus on what's happening in havana or caracas(加拉加斯,委内瑞拉首都)as much as they follow events in washington dc, giving the city an international outlook. for the casual visitor this means a city peppered with the flavors of latin american food, language, music, politics and spirit.
miami is the most populated city in florida. it sits at the southeastern tip of the florida, the most southeastern state of the united states, bordered by the atlantic ocean to the east, the gulf of mexico to the west and the neighboring states of alabama and georgia to the north.
most visitors aren't here for miami itself, but rather to visit miami beach, an entirely separate municipality. miami is on the mainland, while the city of miami beach is on a thin barrier island about 4 miles east, across biscayne bay(比斯坎湾) - locals call it the billion dollar sandbar(十亿美元的沙坝)。 many of the beach's locals are imports from new york, people tired of sitting through five hours of snarled traffic on their way to the hamptons, who decided that miami beach made a lot more sense. they brought with them a fledgling art and culture crowd whose numbers included many younger artists.
the boundaries of ‘season' in miami - which used to be limited to winter - have been blurred by the huge number of people moving to the area and the stampede(蜂拥)of fashion and film shoots. but the most popular time to come here is still between december and may, when temperatures average between 16-30°c, and average rainfall is a scant couple of inches.

奥克兰是新西兰在北岛最大的城市,被称为“帆之都”,同时也是新西兰工业和商业中心和经济贸易中心。全球最重要的跨国公司都在奥克兰设有办事处,奥克兰事实上也是新西兰的“经济首都”。奥克兰是新西兰对外贸易、旅游的门户,是重要的公路、铁路和航空交通枢纽。奥克兰市是新西兰最大最繁忙的商业金融中心,新西兰的股票交易所及多家大银行的总部就设在这里。现今的奥克兰仍然为新西兰最发达的地区之一,同时也是南太平洋的枢纽,旅客出入境的主要地点。在2015年的世界最佳居住城市评选中,奥克兰高居全球第三位,这也是连续三年奥克兰蝉联全球最适宜城市前三名。下面读文网小编为大家带来旅游英语"帆船之都" 奥克兰英语简介,欢迎大家阅读!
Nestled between the sparkling waters of two large harbours is Auckland, the largest city of New Zealand. Auckland is affectionately known as" the City of Sails".
Most of the residents of Auckland love sailing very much, and they are preoccupied by three B's: beaches, boats and barbecues. They take every available opportunity to desert their homes in droves to head for the nearest beach or boat harbour, armed with battered barbecue sets and polystyrene "chilly bins" packed full with ice-cold beer. It is really a magnificent scene. And towards the end of January, an annual sailing competition is held, in which up to l, 000 sailing boats compete on the Waitemate Harbour. That is the sporting highlight of the year of Auckland.
But who can blame Aucklanders? They happened to be blessed with two beautiful harbours, scores of swimming beaches in which people can swim, a coast line dotted with secluded offshore islands, sophisticated living standards and a summer climate that insist on outdoor life.
(1) QUEEN STREET
Queen Street is Auckland's traditional main street or "Golden Mile", offering the best range of shopping. All the shops and big department stores of the city are gathered in this street. It is the best commercial center of New Zealand. Souvenir and sheepskin shops sell hand-made woolen garments, Maori carvings, greenstone (jade) ornaments, shell jewelry, opossum fur coats and wooly car-seat covers.
(2) QUEEN ELIZABETH SQUARE
The bottom of Queen Street is occupied by Queen Elizabeth Square which contains the Central Post Office, Downtown Complex and Air Zealand. The Square is a favorite haunt of lunchtime office workers, soapbox orators and protest marchers bewailing grievance ranging from visits by nuclear ships to stingy kindergarten funding. A gaily colored fruit for offers kiwi fruit, feijoas, tamarillos, pepino, kumara and other fresh New Zealand products while a Danish icecream parlour tempts the sweeter tooth.
(3)THE OLD CUSTOMHOUSE
Sitting majestically opposite to the Downtown Complex on the corner of Customs and Albert streets is the Old Customhouse which is the financial heart of Auckland for more than 80 years.
Designed in French Renaissance style, the building was completed in 1889 and is one of the last remaining examples of Monumental Victorian architecture to be found in the central business district. Open seven days a week, the Old Customhouse houses a cinema, arts and crafts emporium, gift shop, restaurants, tavern, coffee bar and shop selling, wood and woolen products.
(4) VICTORIAPARK MARKETS
Ten minutes' walk to the west of the Old Customhouse are the Victoria Pat Markets. The markets are located on the disused site of the city's former rubbish destructor.
Completed in l905, the yellow brick buildings were opened by Mayor Aithur Myers, who was hauled to the top of the 40-metre chimney in a ship's bo' sun chair to lay the final brick. The historic site now offers seven-day buying at fruit, vegetable, fish and craft shops or hawkers barrows and food stalls.
静静地偎依在两个大港口之间的奥克兰是新西兰的第一大城市,它在闪闪发光的海水衬托下,素有"帆船之都"的美誉。
奥克兰市民酷爱扬帆出海,醉心于"三B"活动,即:去海滩、划船和烧烤野餐。他们抓住一切机会,成群结队地离家奔向最近的海滩或港口,随身带着用久了的野炊用具和装满冰冻啤酒的聚丙烯"冷箱",从而使这种场景显得十分壮观。每年一月底在怀特玛塔港举行的帆船竞赛,千帆并举,更是奥克兰城的一大盛景。
谁能怪罪奥克兰人呢?是上苍赐予了他们两个美丽的港口,数十个可以供人们游泳的海滩,遍布幽静小岛的海岸,较高的生活水准以及适合户外运动的夏季气候。
皇后大街

白宫是美国总统的官邸和办公室。白宫由美国国家公园管理局拥有,是"总统公园"的一部分。白宫是一幢白色的新古典风格砂岩建筑物,位于华盛顿哥伦比亚特区西北宾夕法尼亚大道1600号。1812年英国和美国发生战争,英国军队占领了华盛顿城后,放火烧了包括美国国会大厦和总统府之类的建筑物。过后,为了掩盖被大火烧过的痕迹,1814年总统住宅棕红色的石头墙被涂上了白色。从那以后,人们就把它称为“白宫”。下面读文网小编为大家带来旅游英语白宫英语简介,欢迎大家阅读!
For almost two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the Presidency, the United States government, and the American people. Its history, and the history of the nation's capital, began when President George Washington signed an Act of Congress in December of 1790 declaring that the federal government would reside in a district "not exceeding ten miles square...on the river Potomac." President Washington, together with city planner Pierre L'Enfant, chose the site for the new residence, which is now 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As preparations began for the new federal city, a competition was held to find a builder of the "President's House." Nine proposals were submitted, and Irish-born architect James Hoban won a gold medal for his practical and handsome design.
Construction began when the first cornerstone was laid in October of 1792. Although President Washington oversaw the construction of the house, he never lived in it. It was not until 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that its first residents, President John Adams and his wife, Abigail, moved in. Since that time, each President has made his own changes and additions. The White House is, nt's private home. It is also the only private residence of a head of state that is open to the public, free of charge.
The White House has a unique and fascinating history. It survived a fire at the hands of the British in 1814 (during the war of 1812) and another fire in the West Wing in 1929, while Herbert Hoover was President. Throughout much of Harry S. Truman's presidency, the interior of the house, with the exception of the third floor, was completely gutted and renovated while the Trumans lived at Blair House, right across Pennsylvania Avenue. Nonetheless, the exterior stone walls are those first put in place when the White House was constructed two centuries ago.
Presidents can express their individual style in how they decorate some parts of the house and in how they receive the public during their stay. Thomas Jefferson held the first Inaugural open house in 1805. Many of those who attended the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol simply followed him home, where he greeted them in the Blue Room. President Jefferson also opened the house for public tours, and it has remained open, except during wartime, ever since. In addition, he welcomed visitors to annual receptions on New Year’s Day and on the Fourth of July. In 1829, a horde of 20,000 Inaugural callers forced President Andrew Jackson to flee to the safety of a hotel while, on the lawn, aides filled washtubs with orange juice and whiskey to lure the mob out of the mud-tracked White House.
After Abraham Lincoln's presidency, Inaugural crowds became far too large for the White House to accommodate them comfortably. However, not until Grover Cleveland's first presidency did this unsafe practice change. He held a presidential review of the troops from a flag-draped grandstand built in front of the White House. This procession evolved into the official Inaugural parade we know today. Receptions on New Year's Day and the Fourth of July continued to be held until the early 1930s.
President Clinton's open house on January 21, 1993 renewed a venerable White House Inaugural tradition. Two thousand citizens, selected by lottery, were greeted in the Diplomatic Reception Room by President and Mrs. Clinton and Vice President and Mrs. Gore.

电视上也有神探夏洛克可以看,那么你能够用中英文介绍它吗?以下是读文网小编给大家带来神探夏洛克中英文对照介绍,以供大家参阅!
Many Chinese sites host Sherlock fan-fiction depicting Holmes and Watson as a couple.
许多中国网站上的《神探夏洛克》同人小说把夏洛克·福尔摩斯和约翰·华生写成了一对。
It was not just British fans who had been waiting anxiously to find out just how Sherlock Holmes dodged death in the final instalment of the massively popular BBC drama Sherlock.
不只是英国的粉丝在焦急地等待BBC热门剧集《神探夏洛克》揭示福尔摩斯在第二季末的假死之谜。
"I tore myself away from bed early this morning just to watch 90 minutes of my Curly Fu and Peanut," said one online comment. "The gay-citement has finally returned. PS: Thank you, Prime Minister Cameron, for visiting China."
中国网站上的一个评论这样写道:“我今天早上挣扎着从床上爬起来,就是为了看90分钟我的卷福和华生。基情终于回归!PS:感谢英国首相卡梅伦访问中国。”
"Curly Fu" and "Peanut" are the names given by Chinese fans to Sherlock and hissidekick, Dr Watson, because they resemble the Chinese pronunciation of their names. The "gay-citement" tag? Well, that is used to describe the excitement of seeing what Chinese fans like to think of as the love between the two characters.
“卷福” 和“花生” 是中国的粉丝给福尔摩斯和他的伙伴华生医生取的昵称,因为他们的名字翻译成中文和昵称发音较相似。至于说“基情”?好吧,这个词儿是用来形容中国粉丝脑补这两个主角之间的爱意时的激动心情。
When UK Prime Minister David Cameron visited China in December and opened an account on weibo, China's version of Twitter, the top request for him was to speed up the release of the new series of Sherlock. That day finally arrived.
去年12月,英国首相大卫·卡梅伦访问中国,他还在中国版的推特——新浪微博上开设账号,中国的微博用户最迫切的请求就是希望首相大人能催《神探夏洛克》第三季快点播。这一天终于来了。
The show was launched on Youku, a Chinese video-hosting website similar to YouTube, just two hours after its premiere in Britain. It got almost 3m hits overnight, and weibo has been lit up by fans discussing the new episode.
《神探夏洛克》第三季在中国主流视频网站优酷上同步发布,离英国首播的时间只晚两个小时。第一集播出后一夜之间获得了300万的点击,粉丝都在讨论新一集的剧情,微博都被点燃了。
There is a particular affection for Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, with even an online forum dedicated to Curly Fu.
中国粉丝特别喜爱本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇饰演的夏洛克·福尔摩斯,甚至还有一个专门给卷福的在线论坛。
"The human race cannot stop the invasion of Curly Fu," posted one commentator. "Curly Fu is the sexiest when he plays violin," said another. "Curly Fu is my only male god. He represents beauty and wisdom, but better with his clothes off."
一位评论者这样表示:“人类都无法阻止卷福的魅力入侵!” 另一位则这样写道:“卷福拉小提琴的时候最性感,他是我唯一的男神。他是美貌和智慧的象征,不过脱掉衣服的时候更好了。”
But the most fervent fans are those intent on finding a gay subtext to the relationship between Holmes and Watson. There are numerous Chinese sites that host Sherlock fan fiction, depicting the detectives as a couple. And among this group of fans, many identify themselves as funu or "rotten women" - young women who like gay stories.
这还不算什么,最狂热的粉丝则努力在福尔摩斯和华生之间寻找关于基情潜台词的蛛丝马迹。有大量的中国网站上连载着《神探夏洛克》的同人小说,将这对侦探描述成一对情侣。这群粉丝很多都自称为“腐女”——即喜欢同性恋题材故事的年轻女性。
"I have to say, this show is catering to our rotten girls' taste more and more," said one fan.
一位粉丝这样说:“不得不说,这部剧越来越多地在迎合腐女们的口味了。”
"Sherlock tortures Watson a thousand times, and Watson loves him like his first love," wrote another. "I've waited two years, and it didn't disappoint me."
另外一位则表示:“卷福虐花生千万遍,花生依然待他如初恋。我等了两年,第三季没让我失望。”

美国大峡谷(Grand Canyon)是一个举世闻名的自然奇观,由于科罗拉多河穿流其中,故又名科罗拉多大峡谷,它是联合国教科文组织选为受保护的天然遗产之一。大峡谷位于美国亚利桑那州西北部的凯巴布高原上,是地球上最为壮丽的景色之一。科罗拉多河在科罗拉多高原上共切割出19条主要峡谷,总面积为2724.7平方公里,其中最深、最宽、最长的一个就是科罗拉多大峡谷。它全长446公里,是世界上最长的峡谷之一。峡谷顶宽6至28公里,最深处1800米。谷底水面不足 1000米宽,夏季冰雪融水,水深增至18米。山石多为红色。下面读文网小编为大家带来旅游英语美国大峡英语简介,欢迎大家阅读!
A famous American John Muir said in 1898: “The Grand Canyon… as unearthly in the color and grandeur and quantity of its architecture as if you had found it after death on some other star.”
Like Muir, those of us who stand along the rim are prompted to wonder about the unearthliness and the forces that created and are still changing this place After more than 100 years of studies, many things are still obscure. Today visitors come by the thousands - the great and simple of the earth - all in a spirit of marvel. Travelers come from every state of the Union, from every country in Europe and Asia, pilgrims to a shrine that is the same as the creed. From the depths of the canyon comes welling silence. Seldom can you hear the roar of the river.You cannot catch the patter. Like applause, from the leaves of the cottonwoods on the shelf-like plateau below you. For all sounds are swallowed in this gulf of space. ‘It makes one want to murmur.' A woman once whispered to her companion. This silence is not the silence of death; Rather, it is a presence. It is like a great piece of music. But music made of man works up to a climax and ceases; the Grand Canyon is all climax, a chord echoing into eternity. Perhaps the most spectacular feature of the Grand Canyon,
its Redwall limestone cliff, stands about half way up the chasm and is practically vertical. Its average height is 550 feet——almost exactly that of the Washington Monument. Though it is actually gray-blue limestone, the surface of the cliff has been stained to a sunset hue by iron salts washing out of the rocks. Above the Redwall come alternating layers of red sandstone and shale 1,000 feet thick, then comes the next pale-blue layer. The topmost layers are a yellowish limestone. Now, visitors to the South Rim alone may number 18,000 in a single day. Some of that number will travel by mule train down Bright Angel Trail to the canyon's floor, cross the raging river by a suspension bridge and amount to the North Rim. Though the two rims face each other across only 12 miles, it is a journey of 214 miles by car from one to the other. Nor can you visit the North Rim except in summer; some 1,200 feet higher than the South Rim, it is snow covered much of the year except in July and August. But there is no day that you may not visit the South Rim and find the sun warm on your face and the air perfumed with the incense of smoke from an Indian hearth. The Grand Canyon is an unearthly sight. No wonder an American writer and journalist said,“I came here an atheist, and departed a devout believer.”
一位著名的美国人约翰。缪尔曾在1898年说过:“(科罗拉多河的)大峡谷……它的色彩和构造的宏伟多样是世上所无的,就像是人消亡以后在别的星球上发现的东西。”
和缪尔一样,站在大峡谷边缘的人们顿时对这里的超凡脱俗,对那种创造并仍在改变这个地方的神奇力量感到惊奇。
经过了100多年的研究,有许多事情仍是个谜。今天,数以千记的游客——不管是普通人还是大人物——都怀着一种好奇的心情来到这里。他们来自于美国的第一洲,来自于欧洲和亚洲的每一个国家,就像朝圣者一样虔诚地来到这座神殿。
峡谷深处静寂无声。我们很少听见河水的咆哮声或下面壁架式高原上三角叶杨树发出鼓掌般的噼啪声。因为这一切声音都在这深渊的空间被吞没了。一位女游客对同伴说,“它让人禁不住地低声细语。"这种寂静不是死一般的沉寂;相反,它是万物存在的宁静。它就像一曲伟大的乐章。人类创作的乐曲逐渐进入高潮,但也有终止的时候,而大峡谷则高潮迭起,是永远回荡不止的和音。
也许,大峡谷最引人注目的风貌特色是“红墙”石灰石悬崖,它耸立在裂口半当中,几乎是垂直的。它的平均高度为550 英尺——几乎和华盛顿纪念碑一样高。虽然它实际上是灰蓝色的石灰石,但是从岩石里渗出的铁盐却把悬崖表面染上了晚霞般的色彩。在“红墙”的上方,是红色的沙岩和1 000 英尺厚的页岩交替叠层,然后是浅蓝色的沙岩层,最上层是淡黄色的石灰石。
现在,每天来大峡谷南缘观光的游客大概有18000名,其中有的会乘坐小型电动机车沿着"光明天使小道"来到谷底,穿过波涛汹涌的河道上方的吊桥,然后到达北缘。
尽管南北两缘面对面相隔只有12英里,可是坐车从一边到另一边的距离却是214英里。北缘只能在夏天参观;它比南缘高出1 200英尺左右;除了7、8月外,其他大部分时间都为冰雪覆盖。
然而南缘任何时候都欢迎人们的来访。在那里温暖的阳光照在人们的脸上;空气中弥漫着印第安香炉中散发出的烟香气。大峡谷是一道超凡脱俗的风景。难怪一位美国作家兼记者说:“我来这里时还是个无神论者,离开时却是个虔诚的信徒了。”
