关于假期的英语名言
热度 4 Wuyishan 2013-10-7 06:46
关于假期的英语名言 武夷山 辑译 国庆小长假就要结束了。在到处人山人海、水泄不通的情况下,旅游度假肯定使人“勿开心”,vacation的发音用汉语来注音,便是“勿开心”,这难道是偶然的吗?所以,还是给大家看一些有关 vacation 的有趣的英语名言,开开心吧。 It is not more vacation we need - it is more vocation. Eleanor Roosevelt 我们需要的不是更多的假期,而是更强的使命感。 ---- 罗斯福总统夫人 Too much work, too much vacation, too much of any onething is unsound. Walter Annenberg ( 1908-2002 ,美国出版商、慈善家、外交家) 不管是太多的工作,还是太多的休假,任何东西太多了都有毛病。 Every time you work on a project, it's a littlevacation from the project you're working on the other 23 hours. That's thething - it replenishes you to do something else. Joss Whedon ( 1964 年生,美国影视剧作家、制作人、导演、作曲家、演员) 每次你做一个项目的时候,项目以外的 23 小时就好比一次休假。事情就是这样 ---- 做些另外的事总有恢复提神之效。 The ant is knowing and wise, but he doesn't know enoughto take a vacation. Clarence Day ( 1874-1935 ,美国作家) 蚂蚁既聪明又能干,但是就不晓得给自己放个假。 Unemployment insurance is a pre-paid vacation forfreeloaders. Ronald Reagan 对于喜欢不劳而获的懒汉,失业保险就好比免费旅游度假。 ---- 美国前总统里根 Laughter is an instant vacation. Milton Berle ( 1908-2002 ,美国谐星) 开怀大笑相当于时常休假。 Comedians are never really on vacation because you'realways at attention... that antenna is always out there. Bob Newhart ( 1929- ,美国滑稽演员) 滑稽演员从来不可能踏踏实实地休假,因为你总是处于关注状态 …… 那个探测天线总是竖在那里。 (博主:我理解,他指的是,喜剧演员总是处处留心,以便从生活中发现笑话的素材。) I can take a week's vacation - maybe a week and a half- but after that, I'm itching to go back to work. Ashley Tisdale ( 1985- ,美国新生代女演员、歌手、模特) 我可以度一星期的假,顶多一周半吧,然后就急不可耐地要返回工作。 Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them atthe beach... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What areyou doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!' Steven Wright ( 1955- ,美国喜剧演员) 小孩子根本不需要休假,可他们也在海边玩耍 …… 真是让我气不打一处来!我要走到一个小孩子身边质问他,“你有什么资格在这里玩?你这辈子还一天班都没上过!”

含有labor字样的英语名言(2)
热度 6 Wuyishan 2013-5-1 06:45
含有 labor 字样的英语名言( 2 ) 武夷山 去年“五一”整理过一批这样的名言,今年再来一批,以此作为献给大家的节日精神食粮。 1. Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. -- Abraham Lincoln 劳动先于资本,独立于资本。资本只是劳动的果实,假定劳动不先出现,则资本永远不会存在。劳动居于资本之上,应获得更多的重视。 -- 林肯 2. A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities. -- Thomas Jefferson (美国总统杰弗逊) 一个明智、节俭的政府,应该杜绝人们相互伤害的事体发生;只要不伤害别人,就应让人们自由地管理其勤勉追求好日子之事业;不应从劳工口中夺走其自己挣来的面包。这就是好政府的一切,这是形成幸福闭环的必要条件。 3. An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision. -- James Whistler ( 1834-1903 ,美国出生的英国艺术家) 给艺术家付酬金,不是因为其付出的劳动,而是因为其展现的视野。 4. I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. -- John D. Rockefeller (约翰 D 洛克菲勒) 我坚信劳动神圣,无论是脑力劳动还是体力劳动。社会不因任何一个人未过上好日子而亏欠于他,但社会必须给每个人提供谋生的机会。 5. Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. -- Confucius 学而不思则罔,死而不学则殆。 -- 孔子 6. A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor. -- Victor Hugo 不能因为一个人沉湎于思考就说她懒惰,因为既有有形的劳动,又有无形的劳动。 -- 大文豪雨果 7. Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top. -- Booker T. Washington ( 1856-1915 ,美国黑人教育家、作家、演讲家) 要使日常劳动有尊严,有荣耀。我们必须首先打下生活大厦的基础,而不是先盖屋顶。 8. Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body. -- Lucius Annaeus Seneca (塞涅卡,古罗马哲学家) 困难砥砺心智,正如劳动锻炼体魄。 9. All wealth is the product of labor. -- John Locke 一切财富都是劳动的产物。 -- 约翰 . 洛克 10. To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy. --Bette Davis ( 1908-1989 ,美国早期著名女影星,曾 10 次获得奥斯卡最佳女主角提名,两次得奖) 追逐梦想 , 能够在孤寂的劳作中挥洒汗水 , 能够有创造的机会 , 这些才是生活之饭菜,而钱财不过是调味之卤汁。 相关阅读“ 我去年“五一“写的《含有 labor 字样的英语名言》,见 http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-1557-565423.html 。

用几则含有或关于 Spring 的英语名言,祝大家春节开心! 武夷山 辑译 If there comes a little thaw, Still the air is chill and raw, Here and there a patch of snow, Dirtier than the ground below, Dribbles down a marshy flood; Ankle-deep you stick in mud In the meadows while you sing, "This is Spring." - C. P. Cranch ( 1813-1892 ,美国作家) 如果积雪有点融化, 冰冷的空气仍刺痛面颊, 这里那里有余雪少量, 比雪下的泥土还要肮脏, 融雪与泥水汇成细流, 你站在齐脚踝的泥流中意态悠悠, 在草地上你放声歌唱: “这就是春天的大好时光!” The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring. Bern Williams (美国当代著名作家,仍在世) 主大概是在创造春季的同一天创造了希望的。 Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems. Rainer Maria Rilke (里尔克) 春回大地,大地就像那会吟诗的孩童。 An optimist is the human personification of spring. Susan J. Bissonette 乐观主义者就是春天的人格化。 Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment. Ellis Peterson 每个春天都是独一无二的,给人带来无尽的惊异。 Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil. Bishop Reginald Heber ( 1783-1826 ,英国牧师、作家) 春天让花朵绽放,给笑吟吟的土壤添彩。 April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go. Christopher Morley ( 1890-1957 ,美国记者、小说家、散文家、诗人) John Mistletoe. 四月天亮起了绿色交通灯,于是世界觉得自己可以通行了。

关于New Year的英语名言
热度 27 Wuyishan 2013-1-1 07:40
关于 New Year 的英语名言 武夷山 辑译 Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. 青年的时候,你在除夕夜可以闹半夜,不睡觉。到了中年,你即使在除夕夜也得熬夜工作,睡不了觉。 Bill Vaughan(1915-1977, 美国作家 ) An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. 乐观主义者在除夕夜熬到半夜,是为了亲见新年的到来;悲观主义者熬到半夜,是为了确信旧年的离去。 Bill Vaughan Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits. 许多人盼望新年,是为了使自己有个重温老习惯的机会。 Anonymous (无名氏) I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit rounder, but still none the wiser. 我又老了点儿,又明白了点儿,又胖了点儿,但总体上还是糊里糊涂。 Robert Paul "Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every New Year find you a better man". 战胜恶习,睦邻友好,让每一个新年看见一个更棒的你。 - Benjamin Franklin (本杰明 . 富兰克林) People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. 人们为圣诞节和新年之间到底吃什么好而发愁,其实更应该关注的是从新年到圣诞节之间吃什么。 ~Author Unknown ( 无名氏 ) Whether we want them or not, the New Year will bring new challenges; whether we seize them or not, the New Year will bring new opportunities. 新年将带来新挑战,不论我们敢不敢接受;新年将带来新机会,不论我们能不能抓住。 ~Michael Josephson ( 1942 - ,美国法学教授、伦理学专家) He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; He who makes one is a fool. 发下誓愿不落实,是弱者; 以为发誓就管用,是傻瓜。 ~F.M. Knowles ( 1913 - 1997 ,美国成人教育家) The only way to spend New Year's Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends and people pair off, someone is bound to be left in tears. 度过除夕的唯一合适方式有两种:要么与朋友在一起平静地过,要么在窑子里喧闹着过。不然,当除夕夜已央,聚会的人群双双对对离去时,总会有孤独的人以泪洗面。 ~W.H. Auden (奥登, 1907 - 1973 ,英国著名诗人)

关于“国家”的英语名言
热度 18 Wuyishan 2012-10-1 06:44
关于“国家”的英语名言 武夷山 辑译 国庆节是个严肃的节日,但不必严肃地过国庆节。读读几句含有“国家”字样或含义与“国家”沾边的名言吧,它们可不一定是严肃的说法哦。 You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer ” Frank Zappa quotes ( American Composer , Guitarist , Satirist and Song Writer , 1940 - 1993 ) 没有啤酒喝,没有飞机坐,就算不上是一个真正的国家。如果有足球队之类的东西,或者有点核武器,那也不错,但至少得有啤酒。 Frank Zappa ,美国作曲家、吉他手、讽刺作家、歌曲创作者 “ Even as a tree has a single trunk, but many branches and leaves, there is one religion but any number of faiths ” 正像大树虽然只有一根树干,但有许多树枝一样,一种宗教可以对应多种信仰。 圣雄甘地 “ For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place. ” Maya Angelou quotes ( American Poet , b. 1928 ) 非洲对于我 …… 不单单是一桩令人艳羡的事实 , 而且是历史性的真实。一个人如果不弄清自己到过哪里,不弄清自己是如何达致现在的境遇的,就决计不会明白要往哪儿去。 玛雅 . 安吉罗 , 著名美国黑人女诗人 (1928- ) (博主:我有两篇博文与此女诗人有关,一是我翻译的她的一首诗( http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-1557-28349.html );还有对她身世的介绍,( http://blog.sciencenet.cn/home.php?mod=spaceuid=1557do=blogid=28590 )。) “ New Zealand is a country of thirty thousand million sheep, three million of whom think they are human. ” Barry Humphries quotes ( b. 1934 ) 新西兰这个国家有 300 亿只羊 , 其中 300 万认为自己是人。 Barry Humphries ,澳大利亚作家、滑稽演员 (博主注:新西兰人口只有 300 多万。) Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we're more like celery as a flavour. ” Mike Myers 加拿大是个“什么都不是”的典型,英不英,美不美,它是“什么都不是”的数学表达。味道也难以捉摸 ---- 我们比较像芹菜的味道。 Mike Myers ,加拿大演员、电影制作人 (博主:虞左俊博主为我做了注释: it's the western 芹菜, which has little taste.)

关于“教师”的英语名言

关于“教师”的英语名言 武夷山 辑译 A teacher affects eternity: he can never tell where his influence stops. Henry Adams 教师的影响力其远弗届:他永远说不清自己的影响力止于何处。 亨利 . 亚当斯(美国历史学家、学者、小说家) What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation. Marcus Tullius Cicero 还有什么职业比教导新一代人的职业更崇高,对于国家更有价值呢。 西塞罗 The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn. John Lubbock 重要的事情与其说是每个孩子都有受教育机会,还不如说是每个孩子都被赋予了学习愿望。 John Lubbock ( 1834-1913 ,英国男爵) Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well. Aristotle 能把孩子教育好的人应比孩子的父母更光荣,因为父母只给了孩子生命,而教师给了他们健康生活的技能。 亚里士多德 By learning you will teach; by teaching you will understand. Latin Proverb 学而后会教; 教而后方理解。 拉丁谚语 (博主:与我们的成语“教学相长”意思接近。) Education is the mother of leadership . Wendell L. Willkie 教育是领导力之母。 Wendell L. Willkie ( 1892-1944 ,美国律师,曾被共和党提名为总统候选人) Seldom was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment. Bishop Hall 知识很少是要被看守住的,而是要传递出去;这一富丽的珠宝若封存起来就失去了魅力。 Bishop Hall ( 1574-1656 ,英国主教,讽刺作家,道德家) To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. Henri Frederic Amiel 教学的妙义在于懂得如何启发。 Henri Frederic Amiel ( 1821-1881 ,瑞士作家) It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Albert Einstein 教师的最高境界在于唤醒对创造性表达与知识的欣悦。 爱因斯坦 Whatever you want to teach, be brief. Horace 无论你想教什么,都要简明扼要。 贺拉斯 To me, education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. Muriel Spark 对我而言,教育就是要把蛰伏在学生灵魂里的东西给引导出来。 Muriel Spark ( 1918-2006 ,著名苏格兰女小说家) Nine-tenths of education is encouragement. Anatole France 教育的 90% 是鼓励。 Anatole France ( 1844-1924 ,法国诗人、记者、小说家) Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant. Epictetus 注意!要让你的儿子们受到良好教育 而不是让他们富裕, 因为受过教育者的前途 强于无知者的财富。 Epictetus (古希腊斯多葛学派哲学家) Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition. Jacques Barzun 教师之道并未丧失, 但是尊教的传统丢失了。 Jacques Barzun ( 1907- ,出生于法国的美国历史学家) To teach is to learn twice over. Joseph Joubert 教别人,相当于学习了两遍。 Joseph Joubert ( 1754-1824 ,法国散文家) A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations. Patricia Neal 师傅会告诉你,他对你有什么期望。 而教师会唤醒你的自我期许。 帕特里夏 · 尼尔 ( 1926-2010 ,美国著名影星) Never try to teach a pig to sing....it wastes your time and annoys the pig. Anonymous 千万不要试图教猪唱歌,因为既浪费你的光阴,也让猪不开心。 佚名

含有“劳动”字样的英语名言
热度 16 Wuyishan 2012-5-1 07:36
含有“劳动”字样的英语名言 武夷山 选译 劳动,英语是 labor ,但是其含义不仅是“劳动”。故下面摘录的英语名言都含有 labor 这个词,但不一定都译为“劳动”。以此祝大家劳动节快乐! Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience. George Washington 拼命努力使你胸中的所谓“良知”天火之微弱火星永远闪耀。 ---- 乔治 . 华盛顿 The end of labor is to gain leisure. Aristotle 劳作的目的是为了获得悠闲。 ---- 亚里士多德 It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize. Theodore Roosevelt 成立工会组织是至关重要的。这是组织的时代。资本组织起来了,因此,劳工也必须组织起来。 ---- 西奥多 . 罗斯福,美国第 26 任总统 It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label. Barack Obama 正是劳工运动争取来了我们如今视为理所当然的很多东西 :40 小时工作周、最低工资、家庭假期、健康保险、社会保障、联邦医疗保险、退休金计划,等等。中产阶级保障大厦的基石上全都镌有工会的印记。 ---- 奥巴马总统 The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor. Albert Camus 众神给西绪弗斯的判决是,命令他永不停歇地把石头推到山顶上,可是,石头到了山顶又会由于其自重而再度滚下山来。众神认为,没有比无效又无望的劳动更可怕的惩罚了。他们这样的想法不无道理。 ---- 法国作家加缪 There is no labor a person does that is undignified; if they do it right. Bill Cosby 只要干得好,人所从事的任何劳动都是崇高的。 ---- 比尔 . 考斯比( 1937- ),美国黑人演员、音乐家、作家、社会活动家
