“hamburger”史话

　　在美式快餐风行全球的今天，“ｈａｍｂｕｒｇｅｒ”（汉堡包）已经成为十分流行的食品。但是有多少人知道它的历史呢？今天我们就来讨论一下“ｈａｍｂｕｒｇｅｒ”的起源。

　　“ｈａｍｂｕｒｇｅｒ”这个名字起源于德国西北的港口城市汉堡（Ｈａｍｂｕｒｇ）。在１９世纪中叶的时候，汉堡人喜欢把牛排捣烂后再食用，这种吃法可能被当时大量的德国移民带到了美洲。

　　１８３６年，一道以“汉堡牛排”（Ｈａｍｂｕｒｇ ｓｔｅａｋ）命名的菜首次出现在美国人的菜单上。在一本１９０２年出版的烹饪书中，我们可以看到：“Ｈａｍｂｕｒｇ ｓｔｅａｋ”的做法与今天十分接近——把牛排、胡椒粉、洋葱等拌在一起。

　　到了２０世纪晚期，美国人对“Ｈａｍｂｕｒｇ ｓｔｅａｋ”的做法进行了改良，然后把它送进了快餐店，这就是今天汉堡包的起源。现在，“ｈａｍｂｕｒｇｅｒ”一词除了表示“汉堡包”，还有“碎牛肉”或“牛肉饼”的意思，因为最初汉堡包大都是夹牛肉做的。后来虽然人们又陆续开发了以“猪肉”、“鱼肉”、“鸡肉”等为原料的各式汉堡包，但是“ｈａｍｂｕｒｇｅｒ”仍然有“碎牛肉”或“牛肉饼”的意思。

　　此外，人们也常常用“ｈａｍｂｕｒｇｅｒ”来比喻“被打得遍体鳞伤的拳击手”。而“ｍａｋｅ ｈａｍｂｕｒｇｅｒ ｏｕｔ ｏｆ ｓｂ．”则是“痛打某人”的意思。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bill Gates" 11 Rules

比尔.盖茨的11条准则

　　In Bill Gates" Book for high school and college graduates, there is a list of 11 things they did not learn in school. In his book, Bill Gates talks about how feelgood, politically-correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this education set them up for failure in the real world.

　　在比尔·盖茨写给高中毕业生和大学毕业生的书里，有一个单子上面列有11项学生没能在学校里学到的事情。比尔·盖茨在书中谈到让你感觉良好的"政治上正确"的教导培养出一整代不知现实为何物的年轻人，这种教育只能导致他们成为现实世界中的失败者。

 

The 11 things are:

这11项事情是：

1. Life is not fair, get used to it.

1． 生活是不公平的；要去适应它。

2. The world won"t care about your selfesteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

2．这世界并不会在意你的自尊。这世界指望你在自我感觉良好之前先要有所成就。

3. You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won"t be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

3．高中刚毕业你不会一年挣4万美元。你不会成为一个公司的副总裁，并拥有一部装有电话的汽车，直到你将此职位和汽车电话都挣到手。

4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn"t have tenure.

4．如果你认为你的老师严厉，等你有了老板再这样想。老板可是没有任期限制的。

5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

5．烙牛肉饼并不有损你的尊严。你的祖父母对烙牛肉饼可有不同的定义；他们称它为机遇。

6. If you mess up, it"s not your parents" fault, so don"t whine about our mistakes, learn from them.

6．如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的过错，所以不要尖声抱怨我们的错误，要从中吸取教训。

7. Before you were born, your parents weren"t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents" generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.

7．在你出生之前，你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单，给你洗衣服，听你大谈你是如何的酷。所以，如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的"寄生虫"来拯救雨林的话，还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。

8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they"ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn"t bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.

8．你的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生，但生活却仍在作出类似区分。在某些学校已经废除不及格分；只要你想找到正确答案，学校就会给你无数的机会。这和现实生活中的任何事情没有一点相似之处。

9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don"t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

9．生活不分学期。你并没有暑假可以休息，也没有几位雇主乐于帮你发现自我。自己找时间做吧。

10. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

10．电视并不是真实的生活。在现实生活中，人们实际上得离开咖啡屋去干自己的工作。

11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you"ll end up working for one.

11．善待乏味的人。有可能到头来你会为一个乏味的人工作。

A Loss Turns Out to Be a Gain

 As seniors, we were immersed in planning for life after graduation: resumes, job interviews and making good first impressions. Our professor told us about a friend who had used a creative approach when applying for a job. He had studied up on the firm and was granted an interview in another city.

 On the big day, he arrived in a clean T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. When questioned about his unusually informal attire, he responded that he wanted to impress them with himself, not his clothes. The next time they saw him, he said, he would be wearing a suit. He was hired.

 We all marveled at his bravery and ingenuity. A classmate asked the professor how the fellow had come up with such a brilliant plan.

 “It was simple,” our professor replied, “On his trip to the interview the airline lost his luggage.”

Chinese Translation

塞翁失马，焉知非福

    身为大学四年级的学生，我们都在忙于计划毕业后的生活：写求职履历、求职面试，并且希望能给人一个良好的初次印象。我们的教授向我们讲述了他的一个朋友是如何用一种有创意的方式来求职的。经过对一家公司周密的了解研究后，他被安排到另一个城市去接受面试。

    在那重要的一天，他穿着干净的T恤、牛仔裤和球鞋前往接受面试。当问及他为什么穿着如此马虎随便时，他回答道，他只是想以他本人而不是以他的衣着来加深他的印象。他又说，下次见面时，他将会穿上一套西服，于是，他被雇佣了。

    我们都为他的勇气和机智而惊叹。一位同学问教授这个小伙子是如何想出这样高明的计划时，教授回答道：“这很简单：他在前往面试的旅途中，航空公司把他的行李弄丢了。”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dinosaurs’ Prints

    Hundreds of dinosaur prints have been discovered in the Jura mountains in the northwest of Switzerland, Swiss scientist Wolfgang Hug said. They are 152 million years old. In fact, more than 580 prints were found on a slab of limestone measuring 600 square meters in the Jura mountains. In total, almost 2,000 dinosaur prints have been found so far in this corner of Switzerland. Hug and his research team want the dinosaur-rich area to be added to the United Nations list of worldwide heritage sites.

    The latest group of prints measure between 8 and 20 centimeters long. The prints were made by four-legged dinosaurs between 15 and 20 meters long and 2.5 meters high, and smaller two-legged dinosaurs. Hug said a group of scientists would study them and find the scientific value of the discovery by the end of 2005.

    “This will allow us to ask the United Nations to protect these prints as part of the world’s heritage,” Hug said.

    Hug and his fellow scientists want to create a Geopark to allow people to visit the pre-historic sites. In the past year 20,000 visitors have already showed up for a look at the prints.

                              恐龙脚印

    瑞士科学家 Wolfgang Hug 说，在瑞士西部汝拉山发现了几百个恐龙脚印。这些脚印已有1亿5千2百万年的历史了。事实上，在汝拉山一块面积为600平方米的石灰表面上发现了580多个恐龙脚印。到目前为止，在瑞士的这个地区一共发现了将近2000个恐龙脚印。Hug 和他的研究组希望联合国将这一恐龙资源丰富的地区列入世界遗址的名单。

    最近一次发现的恐龙脚印的长度为8到20厘米，是由身长15—20米、身高2.5米的四腿恐龙和体形小一些的两腿恐龙留下的。Hug 说，一组科学家将对恐龙脚印进行研究，在2005年之前确定这一发现的科学价值。

    Hug 说：“我们的研究成果将有助于我们要求联合国将这些恐龙脚印作为世界遗产的一部分加以保护。”

    Hug 和他的同行科学家还想建造一个地质公园，向公众开放这个史前遗址。去年已有2万人来过这里观看恐龙脚印。

Disguised Philanthropist

   In a New York street a small truck loaded with glassware collided with a large truck laden with bricks, and practically all of the glassware was smashed. Considerable sympathy was felt for the driver as he gazed ruefully at the shattered fragments. A benevolent-looking old gentleman eyed him compassionately.

 “My poor man,” he said, “I suppose you will have to make good this loss out of your own pocket?”

 “Yes,” was the melancholy reply.

 “Well, well,” said the philanthropic old gentleman, “hold out your hat—here’s fifty cents for you, and I dare say some of the other people will give you a helping hand too.”

   The driver held out his hat, over a hundred persons hastened to drop coins in it. At last, when the contributions had ceased, he emptied the contents of his hat into his pocket. Then, pointing to the retreating figure of the philanthropist who had started the collection, he observed: “Hey, maybe he isn’t the wise guy! That’s my boss!

                              伪装的慈善家

    在纽约的一条街上，一辆装载玻璃制品的小卡车跟一辆载砖块的大卡车相撞，结果，所有的玻璃制品都被摔碎了。司机沮丧地望着玻璃碎片，过路行人对他深表同情。一个面目慈善的老人怜爱地望着他。

    “可怜的人，”他说，“我想这些损失必须你自掏腰包去弥补吧！”

    “是的。”司机垂头丧气地回答道。

“那么，”那位慈善的老人说，“把你的帽子伸出来接着，给你五十分美元。我敢说其他的人也会对你伸出援助之手。”

司机于是端出了帽子，有一百多个人争先恐后地往帽子里投了硬币。最后，当再没有人投币时，他就将帽子里的钱全部倒出来，放进自己的口袋。然后，他指着那个发动这次募捐活动、正离去的慈善家的身影说：“嗨，他也许不是聪明的慈善家，他是我的老板！”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The World Expo

    The World Expo is a global event. Since its beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, it has helped people to exchange ideas and develop the world economy, culture, science and technology. So it is also called “the Olympic Games of Science and Technology.”

In 1851, London hosted the first World Expo. It lasted 160 days. At that time, Britain was the greatest power in the world. In order to display the power and pride of the country, the British built a special palace in Hyde Park to house the Expo. Ten countries exhibited products inside the palace.

In 1933, the United States hosted the World Expo with the theme “The Advances of a Century”. This was the first World Expo with a theme. Since then, every World Expo has had a theme.

Over one and a half centuries, the World Expo has developed into a top-class event. On December 3, 2002, Shanghai won its bid to host the 2010 World Expo. The theme is “Better City, Better Life”. This is the first time a developing country will hold such a great event.
