Greece ‘Major Breakthrough’ in Debt Deal
Greece
Greece's sovereign-debt crunch（希腊主权债务危机）A very European crisis（一次全欧洲的危机）The sorry state of Greece’s public finances is a test not only for the country’s policymakers but also for Europe’s （陷于困境的希腊公共财政不仅仅是对这个国家的政策制定者们的考验，也是对整个欧洲的考验）Feb 4th 2010 | from the print editionIllustration by Robert Venables（罗伯特·维纳布尔斯的举例说明）SOME would say that tragedy was inevitable from the moment, nine years ago last month, when Greece was admitted to the euro zone. Others would claim that woe was sure to befall such a disparate currency union sooner or later: if not Greece, then some other weak member of the club would have been the cause. Avoidable or not, trouble has arrived. At best, Greece has to undergo a dramatic budgetary tightening. Its fellow Europeans, or the IMF, may yet have to organize a humiliating bail-out. Some even talk—probably mistakenly—of the beginning of the end of the euro area.一些人会说，九年前的最后一个月，当希腊被纳入欧元区的时候，悲剧的发生就是不可避免的了。
新视野大学英语读写教程（第三版）Book2-unit1课文翻译及课后答案
新视野大学英语第三版第二册unit1课文翻译与习题答案课文 A一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。
对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。
2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。
这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。
我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？”3 她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！”4 没了。
所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。
5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。
学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their / there / they‟re 之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。
由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。
6 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。
举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery (文具用品) 并没有被钉在那儿。
朋友和亲人常宣称They‟ve just ate。
实际上，他们应该说They‟ve just eaten。
因此，批评学生不合乎情理。
7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。
学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。
可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。
还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。
学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。
8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味，所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。

Chart description：The ability of a nation to pay its public
debt is a function of the government's financial position as well as economic growth and interest rates on the debt. Credit rating agencies assign a credit rating to the debt that reflects their assessment of numerous risk factors. Note this chart covers 'public debt only, which represents the obligations of each country's federal government. External debt is the sum of public and private debt owed to foreigners. Some of these countries have external debts far larger than their public debt. The ability of the nation's industries to pay the private portion of the external debt relates to their competitiveness, the nation's economic growth, and employment levels, among many other factors.

前不见古人后不见来者英语作文应用
前不见古人后不见来者英语作文应用Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.From the dawn of time, humans have been driven by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a longing to unravel the mysteries of the universe. As we embark on this existential quest, we inevitably find ourselves indebted to the intellectual legacy of our predecessors. Standing onthe shoulders of giants, we behold a panoramic view of human achievement, guided by the wisdom and insights of those who have gone before us.This profound metaphor, popularized by Isaac Newton, aptly captures the transformative power of collaborationand the interconnected nature of human progress. Just as a towering figure can see further by standing atop a raised platform, so too can we elevate our understanding by leveraging the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of humanity.A Tapestry of Shared Knowledge.Throughout history, countless minds have labored tirelessly to advance the frontiers of human knowledge. From the ancient philosophers of Greece and Rome to the Renaissance humanists and the scientific revolution, individuals have dedicated their lives to exploring the unknown, expanding the boundaries of our understanding, and challenging established beliefs.Each discovery, each breakthrough, becomes a thread in the vast tapestry of human knowledge. It may be a small thread, seemingly insignificant on its own, but when woven together with the contributions of others, it creates an intricate and vibrant masterpiece. This collective tapestry is the foundation upon which modern civilization rests.The Debt of Gratitude.As we marvel at the technological advancements, scientific discoveries, and artistic masterpieces that shape our world, it is essential to acknowledge and appreciate the shoulders upon which we stand. We owe animmeasurable debt of gratitude to those who came before us, whose curiosity, perseverance, and dedication have paved the way for our own achievements.Without the pioneering work of mathematicians like Euclid and Archimedes, we would not have the foundations of geometry and calculus that underpin so much of modern technology. Without the scientific insights of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, we would not understand the laws that govern the cosmos. And without the literary genius of Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Tolstoy, we would be deprived of the timeless works of art that enrich our lives.The Obligation to Innovate.While acknowledging our indebtedness to the past, we must also recognize the immense responsibility that comes with standing on the shoulders of giants. We are not merely beneficiaries of their legacy but also guardians of its future.We have an obligation to continue the pursuit ofknowledge, to push the boundaries of human understanding, and to leave behind a legacy worthy of those who came before us. The giants upon whose shoulders we stand did not rest on their laurels; they constantly strove for greater heights, and it is our duty to do the same.The Cycle of Progress.The relationship between the past, present, and future is a cyclical one. We inherit the knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors, but we also have the power to shape the future by sharing our own insights and discoveries. In this way, the giants upon whose shoulders we stand become our future successors, as the knowledge we contribute today becomes the foundation for generations to come.By embracing this cycle of progress, we ensure that the human spirit of exploration and innovation continues to thrive. We become active participants in the advancement of knowledge, adding our own threads to the tapestry of human understanding, and ensuring that the future will be even brighter than the past.Conclusion.Standing on the shoulders of giants is both a humbling and exhilarating experience. It is a reminder of the immense contributions of our predecessors and theincredible potential that lies within the human spirit. As we continue to build upon the legacy of those who have gone before us, let us do so with a profound sense of gratitude and an unwavering commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and the advancement of human civilization.。
铅笔的发明过程作文英语
铅笔的发明过程作文英语英文：The invention of the pencil is a fascinating story that dates back to ancient times. It was not until the 16th century that the modern pencil, as we know it today, was developed. The process of inventing the pencil involved the discovery and use of various materials and techniques.The earliest form of a writing instrument that resembles a pencil can be traced back to ancient Rome and Greece. These early writing tools were made of lead, which is where the word "pencil" originates from (the Latin word "penicillus" means "little tail"). However, the use of lead as a writing material was not without its drawbacks. It was messy and left smudges on the paper, making it less than ideal for writing.It wasn't until the 16th century that a significant breakthrough in pencil technology occurred. A large depositof graphite was discovered in England, and it was found to be an excellent material for writing. The graphite was initially wrapped in string or sheepskin to prevent it from staining the hands. This method, while effective, was not very practical.The next major development in pencil technology came in the late 18th century when the process of encasing the graphite in wood was invented. This innovation made the pencil much easier to use and handle. The modern pencil,with its familiar wooden casing and graphite core, was born.The pencil has come a long way since its humble beginnings. Today, it is a ubiquitous tool used by peopleof all ages for writing, drawing, and sketching.

希腊债务危机
Greece's debt crisis has shaken investors in the United States and worldwide. They worry that it could spread far beyond Greece.希腊的债务危机已经动摇了美国和世界各地投资者（的信心）。
他们担心，债务危机可能在希腊以外蔓延。
On Thursday, a day after huge protests in Athens, the Greek parliament approved a series of spending cuts.上周四，雅典发生规模庞大的抗议活动后一天，希腊议会通过了一系列财政紧缩方案。
Greece has to cut thirty billion dollars as part of a bailout deal with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The deal is for one hundred forty-five billion dollars in loans.作为欧盟和国际货币基金组织提供1450亿美元贷款这一救助方案的一部分，希腊必须削减300亿美元开支。
The cuts include wage freezes and reductions in retirement pay for government workers. A new requirement raises the retirement age for women from sixty to sixty-five.紧缩措施包括冻结公务员加薪，削减公务员退休金。
将女性退休年龄从60岁延长至65岁。
Critics say the austerity plan will hurt the poor especially. But Greek labor costs are high even for Europe. And Greece's public debt is equal to at least one hundred fifteen percent of its economy. The cuts may be the only hope to avoid declaring bankruptcy.批评人士称，紧缩计划将使穷人尤其受到伤害。

欧元区成员国的财政部长们表示，星期二晚间在布鲁塞尔经过连续几个小时的讨论后，他们就重新安排希腊偿还债务的问题取得了“重大突破”。
国际货币基金组织要求减轻希腊的债务负担，以此作为继续向希腊发放救助贷款的条件。
欧盟对希腊最近采取的改革措施表示认可后，希腊将于6月收到总额为114亿美元的救助贷款的第一部分。
希腊的经济困境已持续了6年，目前希腊的国债高达国内生产总值的180%。
救助希腊的政治协议在谈判中遇到了阻力，尤其来自欧元区强国德国。
德国一直要求希腊采取更严厉的紧缩措施，认为不需要再为希腊提供救助贷款。
但希腊目前亟需84亿美元，偿还7月到期的欧洲中央银行和国际货币基金组织的债务。
Eurozone finance ministers say they have reached a "major breakthrough" in negotiating the latest debt relief deal for Greece after hours of discussion in Brussels Tuesday night.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) had demanded a reduction in Greece's debt burden as a condition of further IMF bailout funds.
Greece will receive the first part of an $11.4 billion bailout in June, following EU approval of its recent reform efforts.
This is the latest bailout in a six-year saga of economic troubles which have led to Greece's current public debt of about 180 percent of gross domestic product.
The difficult political agreement was met with resistance, particularly by Eurozone powerhouse Germany which, having continuously called for more austerity, claims this bailout was not necessary.
But Greece urgently needs the first tranche of $8.4 billion to pay off loans to the European Central bank and the IMF by July.。
