奥巴马就职演讲全文（英语版）
May 4th
My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents.
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land — a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America: They will be met.
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the fainthearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor — who have carried us up the long, rugged path toward prosperity and freedom.

【趣味英语】加菲猫语录
Dec 20th
喜欢《加菲猫》吗？小编也超级喜欢哦！
加菲猫的话总是让人忍俊不禁，重温一遍？
Of course, no problem!这背后的深意，你能看出来吗？
【正文来源于网上】：
1. I hate Mondays. 我讨厌星期一。(梦魇日的开始)
2. Poky，cover me. I’m going in. 波基，掩护我。我要行动了。(老板问起，就说我见客户去了。)
3. Trying to avoid your duties，huh？ 竟然想逃避责任。(错过大单子，被老板K。)
4. I make a point to get it good everyday. 我每天都是吃不了兜着走的。(再错过大单子，小心我让你吃不了兜着走。)
5. How shall I outwit you this time？ 我这回该怎么戏弄你呢？(老板怎么了，照样有办法对付你。)
6. It’s a liver flavored. 这可是猪肝口味呀。(你家猫儿子最喜欢吃什么呀？)
7. That’s even nicer.！ 那个更是不错！(我家猫儿子更喜欢Pizza。)
8. Jump back. Kiss myself. 搞定。真佩服我自己。(每个人都应该相信自己。)
9. She is some beautiful. 她真漂亮。(这位MM是新同事？名花有主否？)
10. Uh， Mr. Pathetic， you’ve had a crush on her since high school. 可怜虫先生，你从高中开始就被她迷得神魂颠倒了。(我痴心不改。)
11. Would you please ask her out so she can reject you， and we can get on with me life？你能不能把他约出来，好让她直截了当地拒绝你，然后咱们继续自己的生活？(是时候行动了。)
12. Wish me luck. Okay， go get’em，big tiger. 祝我好运吧。好的，大胆地冲上去吧。(不试试，我会后悔的。)
13. You the man. You the fella. You the boss. 你够男人，你是小伙子，你是老板。(她先约我了。)
14. So much time，and so little I need to do. 白日漫漫，我该如何消磨。(星期五的下午，让我欢喜让我忧。)
【加菲猫语录解析】：
A.帅呆小词
掩护用cover。
so 已经老掉牙了，生动到极致的形容词用some。
kiss自己就是崇拜自己。
Nice 一个放之四海皆优雅的词，形容淑女绅士可以，形容好吃的也不错。
B.酷毙特定用法
make a point to get it good 不求最好，但求更好，所以当然吃不了兜着走了。
Have a crush on 某人让你神魂颠倒了。
C. 学会感叹
So much time 表示了你的无奈。
You the man. You the fella. You the boss. 似乎有些语法问题，其实感叹时不用顾及太多。
【美文欣赏】真正的高贵
Dec 18th
TURE NOBILITY
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.
Take the lot of the happiness—-it is a tanged yarn.Bereavements and blessing , one following another,make us sad and blessed by turns.Even death itself makeslife more loving.
Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life,under the shadows of sorrow and loss.In the affairs of life or of business,it is not intellect that tells so much as character,not brains so much as heart,not genius so much as selfcontrol,patience,and discipline,regulated by judement.I have always believed that the man who more simply without.In an age of extra vagance and waset,I wish I could show few the real wants of humanity are.
To regret one’s errors to the point of not repeating then is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.The true nobility is in being superioe to your previous self.
【中文译文】：
海面风平浪静的时候,人人都可以是舵手.然而阳光普照而无阴霾,快乐无限而痛苦,这根本就不是生活.
让我们看看最快乐的人的命运吧—-那是一团乱麻.痛失亲人与蒙受恩典的交相感受,让我们体味出人生悲与喜的滋味.甚至死亡本身也能让人生更加可爱.
在哀伤与失落的阴影下,人最为清醒,最能接近真正的自我.在人生于商务的诸多事物中,智能不及品质,头脑不及内心,天才不及明智的自我约束,耐心和纪律.我笃信,内心初步领悟到生活的真谛,方能开始更为平淡的外在生活.在这个奢侈浪费的时代里,但愿我能让世人明白人性真正的需求是何等之少.
对自己的错误后悔到不致再犯时才是真正的后悔.超越别人算不上高贵.真正的高贵在于超越从前的自我.
Joke of Today
The Day Off From Work
My husband was enjoying the day off from work and watched me scurry about the house. I picked up his dirty clothes, put away his work shoes, carried out his popcorn bowl from the previous night’s football viewing, washed the breakfast dishes, wiped the coffee he’d spilled and ironed his shirts. Seeing a thoughtful look on his lace, I wondered if he was beginning to realize just how much unnecessary work he created for me. Maybe he would offer to help. “A penny for your thoughts,” I said.
“I was thinking,” he replied, “that one of the things I like best about you is how you always find ways to keep yourself busy.”
【Notes】：
（1）scurry 在这里是名词，匆忙收拾屋子，我们常说的忙的团团转，似乎就是这个意思。
（2）”A penny for your thoughts” 是“你在想什么的意思”，千万别译为“你的想法只值一分钱”。

Joke of Today
The Popular Mule
A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. While they were walking through the barn, the farmer’s mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly.
At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head “Yes” and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, he would shake his head, “No” and mumble a reply. Curious, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about.
The farmer replied, ”The women would say, ‘What a terrible tragedy’ and I would nod my head and say, ‘Yes, it was.’ The men would ask, ‘You wanna sell that mule?’ and I would shake my head and say, ‘Can’t. It’s all booked up for a year.’”
