The Advantages and Disadvantages

四川省彭州中学

The following aspects could best illustrate the advantages of the Internet. Net surfers in different countries can share interesting knowledge and the latest information. Besides, the Internet has provided a major opportunity to buy and sell merchandise and even stocks, reserve a room, or do E-business. What is more, people may get medical help, hunt for a job or even vote on the Internet. And its advantages seem countless.

Behind all this glowing talk, however, are some problems. The Internet makes people passive by stopping them making their own entertainment, so much so that when there is a breakdown or jam, people may find that World Wide Web turns to World Wide Wait. What is more, some children may have access to the scenes of violence and sex on the Net. Apart from these,

it can be affected by viruses and hackers and all kinds of cyber criminals.

We should handle its problems and exploit its potential as well. With proper management of the Internet people ought to experience more fruits of the information revolution. All the wisdom of the age, all the information that has enlightened mankind for centuries, should be available to us with the healthy development of the Internet. In a word, it will be safer, more convenient, reliable and enjoyable.

American Food Habits

In general, American food is mild tasting: most Americans do not season their food to any great

degree. Salads are very popular and are served all year, but especially in the summer. Waiters tend to assume that everyone drinks coffee, but simply tell them if you wish something else. If a waiter says “now or later?”, he means “Do you want coffee with your meal or after it?”

Many, but certainly not all, Americans drink coffee or tea with their meals. Either way is perfectly acceptable. When dining out, you can ask for tea, milk, “coke”, wine or beer if you prefer. Restaurants can only serve beer, wine, or other alcoholic drinks if they have a license, that is, permission from the local government to serve alcoholic drinks. Normally, when eating in a private home, it is considered better manners to take whatever is being served and not to ask for something different, unless the hostess gives you a choice.

The main course served in American meals is usually meat, fish, or poultry, but rarely is more than one of these served at the same meal. Seafood is sometimes served as a first course, however.

American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in one’s right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.

If it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous but it is considered good manners.

However, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans don't use one, because obviously this greatly makes things complicated, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement is being used, food has to be chased around the plate with the fork-and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.

Most Americans eat breakfast and lunch quickly unless it is a social, business, or family occasion. The evening meal, however, is usually longer and a time for the family to gather together. Rushing through daytime meals is part of the fast pace in America. Another reason for rushing through daytime meals is that many people eat breakfast and lunch in restaurants that are usually crowded with people waiting for a place so that they, too, can be served and return to work at the proper time. So each one hurries to make room for the next person. As with busy people everywhere there is a real difference between a meal that is eaten in a hurry and one that can be enjoyed with friends during one’s leisure.

Goody gumdrops!是小孩子的常用语

太酷了！

That is cool! 惊奇



年轻人最常用的是

Gosh是God的委婉表述法,通常是女性用语. 你说什么?

What? / Huh? / What was that? / What did you say (Want)?! 

Huh?!的发音是

若照文中文字面翻译为"You are lying",表示你肯定别人在说谎,会叫人难堪得下不了台的!Come on!的重音落在on上. 生气

有的人动不动就发火,有的人则爱生闷气.生气的方式表现出每个人的个性,不论是

中文还是英文都是一样的. 闭嘴!

Shut up! / Shut up your mouth! / Keep (Be) puiet!

Shut up! / Shut up your mouth!是相当严厉的、不客气的表现方式。Keep (Be) puiet!的前或后加上可缓和语气。

That’s got nothing to do with it! /What are you talking about ? /That’s not the point! 

看你干的好事！

Look what you did! /What have you done? 你怎么可以这样！How could you? /Oh my goodness! /Oh my! 

一般人最常用Oh my God！但如果你不是基督教徒，最好还是不要这么说。另外，goodness的“d”通常是不发音的。表现的是责备的心情。

放弃

有些事情就是不得不放弃，虽然令人惋惜，但想一想That’s life！（这就是人生）就连放弃的方式也是多彩多姿的呢！

没辙了！

It’s can’t be helped (avoided). /That’s life. /We have no choice (alternative). /There’s nothing you (We) can do about it.

运气真背！

Just my luck. /That’s what I would call bad timing. /I’m out of luck.

怎么会这样？

我不在乎。

好可惜！

真失望！

真可怜！

是对晚辈或地位较自己低的人说的。之后必定要加上具体的人或事。

鼓励

鼓励，给拼命争取荣誉的运动选手，给悲伤的人。。。。。。用英语鼓励也是要看状况的。

加油！

要特别注意。

不要着急。

冷静！

打起精神！
