最佳忠告
 
   炜译、写 [1]
 
        梅格 ∙ 威特曼(MegWhitman)是美国最著名的女企业家之一,曾被评选为美国最有影响力的女子之一。她所在的eBay网上公司[2],专门从事各种货物的网上交易,不仅在美国获得巨大的成功,而且在德国、日本等不少国家都设有分公司。她成功的秘诀是什么?
        早在2005年,《财富》杂志曾经以“我一辈子得到的最好的忠告(The Best Advice I ever Got)”为题,报道了美国一大批成功的企业家(包括比尔 ∙ 盖茨和沃伦 ∙ 布法特[3])从他们的父母、上司、教师、朋友那里得到的忠告。笔者读了以后,留下最深印象的是eBay网上公司首席执行官、总裁梅格从她的父母和上司那里得到的忠告。近年来,在我教的英文课程中,每年都要作为听写材料使用一、二次。
        梅格不久前从公司辞去自己的职务。不久前正式宣布,将竞选下届加利福尼亚州州长。[4] 大家知道,加州现任州长为好莱坞超级明星、德国移民阿诺尔德 ∙   施莱辛格。

A Game to Help Learn Using a Gerund
as the Subject of a Sentence
 
By Wayne Qian, Non-Credit ESL,
Glendale Community College of California

Playing games is a fun way to learn English. In my non-credit Level 5 class, I have designed a game to get the students to learn to use a gerund as the subject of a sentence. My experience tells me that while it is easy for them to understand such a sentence, they seldom use it in their own speaking or writing.  

The first thing I do is to give the students the following as part of the “Word Study” in a lesson. The Word Study [1] is done where I pick out from a text for intensive study three or four active words (mostly verbs but sometimes nouns, adjectives and adverbs), expressions and sentence patterns. Examples are given to explain the use.

自律和管教
  Sunday, 20 September 2009
        日前翻阅多次获得世界花样滑冰冠军关颖珊(Michelle Kwan)用英文撰写的自传《冠军的心(Heart of a Champaign)》,对于英语discipline一词的理解、对于discipline从哪里来、怎样培养,都有了进一步的加深。
        若查阅陆谷孙教授主编的《英汉大辞典》,你会发现discipline远不只是“纪律(名词)”和“惩罚(动词)”这两个意思;它有好多个不同的解释。
        作为名词,discipline的解释包括:1)(智力、道德的)训练、训导、磨炼;2)克制、遵守纪律;3)纪律、风纪、行为准则、符合准则的行为;4)规章制度;5)惩罚、处分、惩处;6)学科、科目;7)(宗教)教规、戒律;8)(宗教)苦行修炼。
        作为动词,discipline的含义包括;1)训练、训导;2)控制;3)使有条不紊;4)惩罚、惩处。
        下面是《冠军的心》第78-79页的节译。
