B: No, I haven’t. I can’t think of anything to get him.

A: I’m having the same problem. I want to get something really special. Jim always seems to know exactly what to get people as gifts.

B: I know. He bought me that beautiful sweater for my birthday. It was exactly what I wanted. And it fit me perfectly!

A: He bought me an iron.

B: That doesn’t sound like a great present.

A: Maybe not, but my iron was getting old. In fact, it stopped working the week after jim bought me the new one. It’s as if he knew that my old iron would soon stop working!

B: Let’s think. He loves football, doesn’t he?

I saw signed photographs of famous footballers in a shop near here. Let’s go and have a look. You know which team he supports, don’t you?

A: Yes, I do. Let’s go. We should be able to find something suitable. We should get him something old…something historic.

B: It’ll be an expensive present, but we can share the cost.

A: I’ll be happy to get him something special, even if it costs a little extra.

B: Yes. He always get us special gift. We should repay his kindness.

A: 他为我买一个熨斗。

B: 那听起来不象是份好礼物。

A: 或许不是,但是我的熨斗旧了。实际上,在吉姆为我买新熨斗的这一周,我的旧熨斗坏了。这好象他知道我的旧熨斗不久会坏似的。

A: 是的。走吧。我们能发现某些事情合适。我们应该为他买古典的…有历史意义的东西。

B: 那将是一份昂贵的礼物,但是我们可以分担费用。

B: I hope to do a little gardening. I find it very relaxing.

A: I might do that too. I hope the weather is nice. I could go and play some golf.

B: I heard that the weather should be good. There’s a possibility of a shower, but it’s not very likely.

B: Of course, something could come up and stop that wish coming true.

A: Unfortunately, there’s always the possibility of some urgent work requiring our attention.

B: We both have to overcome several obstacles if we are to achieve our ambitions.

A: If life were easy, then we’d achieve our ambition quickly and then get bored.

B: 如果要实现我们的志向,我们都必须克服几个障碍。

A: 如果人生简单,我们将迅速实现我们的志向,然后会变得无聊。

B: 令人遗憾,一些人上班努力却不成功是不可避免的。

A: 这就是为什么志向需要是现实的。您不能达到那些完全不切合实际的事情。

B: 只要你周密计划,大多数事情是可能的。有一个后备计划总是好的,以防事情出错。

A: 我觉得这一点很重要:要获得成功,应在你真正有兴趣的领域,而不是受他人逼迫。

B: 我父亲想要我成为一名医生,但我知道我在那个领域将是不可能获得成功的。

A: 我希望我的父母在我的职业的选择方面尽量不要干涉。

简单英语对话带翻译:建议与要求

A:Hi. Could you give me a hand with this report?

B:Sure. I’d be happy to give you some hints and advice.

A:Thanks. Would you mind taking a look at the layout? Do you think it’s appropriate? I want it to be formal, but not boring to look at.

B:It looks good to me. I would suggest that you put the client’s logo and our logo on each page. The bosses seem to like that.

A:That’s an excellent suggestion. I can easily do it on the computer.

B:Why don’t you use a different font the headings? They’ll be more distinct.

A:I’ll take that suggestion too. How about the content?

B:I think you’ve included all the essential things. You might want to make the conclusion a little longer. Restate your reasons clearly.

A:Is it OK to include the pictures?

B:Definitely! I would include one or two on each page if

possible. Remember that you should make the report as eye-catching as possible.

A:Thanks for those ideas. I’ll get to work on them right away.

A:你能帮帮我完成这份报告吗?

B:当然。我将很高兴给你一些提示和建议。

A:谢谢。看一下布局好吗?你认为它是合适的吗? 我想要考虑是正式的,但不是令人厌烦的。

B:在我看来还不错。我建议你把客户的标识和我们标志加到每一页。老板似乎喜欢这一点。

A:这是一个很好的建议。我用电脑可以很容易做到。

B:你为什么不使用不同的字体的标题?他们将变得更加明显。

A:我会考虑这一建议。对报告内容又如何?

B:我想你已经包括了所有重要的东西。你也许要作出结论稍微长了。重申你的理由清楚。

A:里面加进图片好不好?

B:肯定好!我想可能的话在每一页有一两张图片。记住,你应该把报告作得尽可能引人注目。

A:感谢你给我那些建议。我将立刻着手办理他们。

Intermediate

A: hello. How was the marketing meeting?

B: hi. It was awful. I think I put forward some great ideas,

but none of them were accepted.

A: I’m surprised to hear that. I thought you had some very good suggestions.

B: So did I. I ran the ideas by a few people before the meeting and the ideas seemed to have the supports of some people.

A: So what happened in the meeting?

B: One or two people didn’t take to my ideas very well. That was to be expected. The worst thing was that the people who said the ideas were good before the meeting didn’t support me during the meeting.

A: I wonder why not. We could always revise the suggestions, to take into account any objections.

B: That’s good advice, but I’m not confident that even revised proposals will be accepted.

A: may I make a suggestion?

B: sure. I’m open to any reasonable suggestions.

A: Is there a chance you could contact the client confidentially and see what they think? If they like your ideas, perhaps they could put them forward as their own proposals. You won’t get credit for the ideas, but the client will know they were yours.

B: I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

A: Go on. Take a chance. You could just hint at your idea. The client should be smart enough to take a hint.

A:你好! 销售会议开得怎样?

B:糟糕极了。我认为我提出一些极妙的想法,但是他们都不被接受。

A:我吃惊地听到那。我认为你有一些非常好的建议。

B:我也是。在会议之前我对一些人叙说我的想法,而且好像有一些人支持这些想法。

A:那么在会议上发生了什么?

B:一个或两个人,没有考虑到我的想法很好。那是预料之中的事。最糟糕的是会前说这些想法好的人在开会时并不支持我。

A:我想知道为什么不。我们总是能修正建议考虑到任何异议。

B:那是个好建议,不过即使修订建议能否被接受我还是没有信心。

A:我可以提个建议吗?

B:当然可以。我欢迎任何合理的建议。

A:你有机会私下接触客户看他们会怎么想吗?如果他们对你的想法有兴趣,也许会把你的想法作为他们自己的建议。你不会把这个建议归功于己,可客户会知道是你的。

B:我不能确信那是一个好主意。

A:试试吧。抓住机会。你可以暗示你的想法。客户应该是聪明人。

Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it. 我们的勇气并不是与生俱来的,我们的恐惧也不是。也许有些恐惧来自你的亲身经历,别人告诉你的故事,或你在报纸上读到的东西。有些恐惧可以理解,例如在凌晨两点独自走在城里不安全的地段。但是一旦你学会避免那种情况,你就不必生活在恐惧之中。 Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

英语美文(带翻译)

Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity 在困境中寻找成功的希望 1.There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I cannot perfect myself without hardship. 2.Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do, gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will always inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment might present… to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into a fragrant garden of flowers. 3.Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity. 1.逆境是一所最好的学校每一次打击、每一次损失。都蕴含着成功的萌芽。都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。我再也不会逃避现实,也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验,我不再因此促成自己的失败。因为我我知道,宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光,没有磨练,我也不完善自我。 2.现在我知道,灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻,也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。无论何时,当我被可怕的失败击倒,在最初的阵痛过去之后,我都要想方设法将苦难变成好事。伟大的机遇就在这一刻闪现——这苦涩的根本必将迎来满园芬芳! 3.我将一直在困境中寻找成功希望。 Hold Fast to Dreams 紧紧抓住梦想 1.We all have dreams. We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make the world a better place. 2.At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire and deserve. Yet, for many of us, those dreams have become so shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them. For far too many, the dream has dissipated and with it, so has the will to shape our destinies. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates the winner’s edge.

英语美文欣赏带翻译

Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy."
