(Air去了厨房.) ●对话精彩点评: 在一个月饼节的对话中，提到了个说法—长生不老，但好多朋友不知道如何表达了，或许头脑中只有西游记的概念，比如什么仙丹之类的东西，却没有想长生不老的本意是什么，所以表达出现瞬间的停顿，很正常了。 A:The Heavenly Queen Mother gave him a bottle of magic liquid. B: What? What’s for? A: If you had it, you would cure illnesses or make you live forever. B: oh, my god. Are you kidding? A: I’m serious. In many Chinese stories,people want to live longer. So they want to get this magic something. B: I see. 这段对话很好的将仙丹，比做成一种神奇的药，化解了必须去想仙丹的单词， 也增加了谈话的神秘性，接着呢，将长生不老，比喻成假如吃掉这神奇的药，就会治疗好疾病，可以使自己永远生存在世间的，这不是很好的表达方式吗， 而且整个句子运用了虚拟语气，加大了表达的难度，给人感觉语法很好，对吧！ ●附：中秋节的传说： Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month, it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest. This year the festival falls on October 1. There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once, scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward, the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality, but she warned him that he must use it wisely. Hou Yi ignored her advice and, corrupted by fame and fortune, became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er, his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon, the Moon Fairy. The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty, an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message. When the cake was opened and the message read, an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon, which, some say, explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. Mooncakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard, but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. Mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea, especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea, which aids the digestion. 中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样，是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅，馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋，据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。今年的中秋节恰好是阳历的10月1日（中国的国庆日）。 关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。 第二个传说讲的是在元朝，朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信，起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义，赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时，于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。

当你去到一个陌生的城市或国家，首先要解决的一件事就是住在哪里。如果只是短暂逗留几天，那可以选择宾馆旅店；若是要呆上好一段时间，那就需要租房咯。今天我们就来看看如何用英语约见房东吧！ Sam: Is this Ms. Li?Li: Yes, are you calling about the apartment?Sam: Yes, is it still available?Li: How did you find out about it?Sam: I saw your advertisement on one of the bulletin boards。Li: Well, you're welcome to come over and see it. The address is on the ad。Sam: Great. I'll be there in about twenty minutes。(20 minutes later)Li: What do you do in China?Sam: I study Chinese and Chinese history。Li: Sounds interesting...So, do you want to share with any roommates or live alone?Sam: I prefer to live alone. I need my peace and quiet。Li: Good. That will make everything simpler. I like to keep things simple。Sam: Me too. And I like my privacy。Li: OK, now I'll show you the apartment. This is the balcony, and that is the kitchen. The bedroom is over there。Sam: This place is perfect! It's so quiet! But, the kitchen is kind of small.。。Li: You won't need much space if you're cooking for one。Sam: Well, I guess that's true. So what about the trash?Li: You take it to the first floor. It's picked up daily around 9 p.m。Sam: Great! If it's OK with you, I think I'll take the apartment。Li: You seem like the ideal tenant. OK, let me go get the contract。讲解：1. 在这段对话中，Sam看到了招租广告以后，打电话给Ms. Li，预定看房。首先说一下这个Ms. , 表示“女士”。在英语中，未婚女性称为“Miss”，小姐。已婚女性称为“Mrs。”，太太， 而Ms. 则是在不考虑或不知道婚姻状况的情况下使用，放在姓氏或姓名前。2. 当Ms. Li问are you calling about the apartment? 你是打电话来问公寓的事情吗？Sam回答说，Yes, is it still available? 是的，房子还没租出去吧？就是说房子还能租吗？available 这个词表示“可用到的，可利用的”。例如：I'm sorry, those overcoats are not available in your colour and size. 对不起，这种外套没有你要的颜色和尺码。它还表示“有空的”， 例如：The lawyer is not available now. 律师现在没空。3. Ms. Li比较谨慎，问Sam，How did you find out about it? 你是怎么知道有这么个公寓出租呢？Sam回答I saw your advertisement on one of the bulletin boards. 我在一个公告栏上看到了你的广告。4. Ms. Li比较放心了，答应Sam可以来看房子，她说you're welcome to come over and see it. 欢迎你过来看看。welcome这个词不仅可以做动词、名词，还可以做形容词，表示“受欢迎的”，例如：You are always welcome in my home. 你在我家总是受欢迎的。You are welcome to join us. 我们非常乐意邀请你加入我们。welcome做动词，表示“欢迎”，比如：My aunt welcomed me with a hug. 我姑姑用拥抱迎接了我。做名词，表示“款待，接待”，例如：They gave us an unfriendly welcome。他们对我们的接待很不友好。还有就是大家比较熟悉的Welcome to China! 欢迎到中国来！Welcome back 欢迎你回来！5. 20分钟后，房东Ms. Li和房客Sam见面了，Ms. Li先问Sam在中国是做什么的，因为要打探清楚房客的底细，才能放心的把房子租给他。Sam回答说在中国学习汉语和中国历史。原来是做学生的。Ms. Li又问他是想一个人住，还是想跟别人合住，Do you want to share with any roommates or live alone? roommate是室友的意思，在口语中做称呼的时候经常被简化为 “roomie”。6. Sam说I prefer to live alone. I need my peace and quiet. 我比较喜欢一个人住，我需要过安静、平和的生活。这里的peace and quiet表示“平和，安静”，平常我们比较熟悉的是quiet做形容词，在这里quiet变成了名词。Ms. Li表示同意，Good. That will make everything simpler. I like to keep things simple. 不错，那样的话，事情就简单多了，我喜欢简单行事。7. Sam也说喜欢一个人独处，他说I like my privacy. privacy, “隐私，秘密；独处”。例如：We must respect other's privacy. 我们应该尊重别人的隐私，也就是说我们不该打听别人的私事。8. 达成共识之后，Ms. Li开始给Sam介绍房间的情况了，Sam觉得整个房子都不错，就是厨房有点小，有一点，这里用的是kind of，既可以修饰形容词，也可以修饰动词，例如：She kind of hoped to be invited. 她有点希望自己能被邀请。9. Ms. Li解释说You won't need much space if you're cooking for one. 如果你自己一个人做饭的话，你不需要太大的空间，注意这里的空间space是不可数的，用much来修饰，而不是用many。10. Sam又问，那垃圾怎么办呢？What about the trash? What about...?这个短语很常用，表示某人或某物怎样呢？例如：What about the extra money? 那多余的钱怎么办呢？Ms. Li说可以把垃圾拿到一楼，每天晚上9点左右会被清走。11. Sam非常满意，说If it's OK with you, I think I'll take the apartment. 如果你没有问题的话，我决定租下这个公寓了。be OK with something, 对某事没有意见，同意做某事，在口语中很常用，例如：I'm OK with the timing. 我对时间安排没有意见。那么something be ok with someone, 也表示同样的意义，例如：Is the timing OK with you? 你对时间安排有意见吗？12. Ms. Li也觉得Sam不错，她说You seem like the ideal tenant. OK, let me go get the contract. 你看起来是个理想的房客，现在我去拿合约。不论男女，房客都是tenant，但是男房东和女房东可不一样了，男房东是landlord，女房东是 landlady，但是两者都可以缩写成LL，记住要大写。

第三个题目（6个太多了，么时间编这么多）A(Japanese):Hi Mr.Lu, long time no see. How are you?B(Chinese):Wow, actually, I am not good. The relations between our two countries are strained.A: Yes. I've heard that Japanese cars are being smashed on the streets. Meanwhile, products made in Japan are being boycotted. B: I know. You should understand our people's patriotic action, given what you have done about our DiaoYu Island.A: That's one side of the story. But, don't you think that our two people lack understanding of each culture? If we know each other better, this issue won't be such serious.B: I agree with you. Given our history, we do need to take some time to know each other better so that if such issue happen again, it won't cause such a big economic disturbance. A: Our auto industry suffers greatly. I think it is high time to organize some culture exchang programme to deepen our understanding, such as student exchange program in Unversities and products exhibitions.B: That's a good idea. We could increase the number of exchange students to 5000 by holding summer camp, winter visit and language learning. Currently, there is only 2000 a year. A: Bravo! As for the exhibitions we could discuss it with our chamber of commerce.B: Yes, of course. But what kind of products can participate in the exhibition? A: Japanese cosmetics, food, clothings and accessories are quiet popular in China. Our exhibition in Japanese Pavilion during the Shanghai Expo was well-received. I am thinking about this mode to be hold in major cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzheng, etc.B: Great! Let's discuss this in detail in the banquet.B:
