• 漫谈英语中的拉丁词

  孟臻;

  <正> 大家可能会接触到这样一个单词:transatlantic(横渡大西洋的)。该词的前缀trans-源于拉丁语,有across,beyond,through的意思。相同前缀的常用词还有transform(转变),transcend(超出),translate(翻译),transmit(传送),transplant(移植),transport(运输)等等。我们可能还会碰到一个拉丁语的输入词缀semi-(半),它也可以作许多词的前缀,如semicolon(分号),semicircle(半圆)等。在科技英语中,来自拉丁语的前缀词更是随处可见,俯拾即是,如mal(bad),micro(small),multi(much),ultra(beyond)等。拉丁语的构词后缀也有很强的派生能力。由这类后缀构成的词的特征是以able,ible,al,ive和ium等拼写结尾的词语。如ium常用

• 鼻子趣谈

  刘向红;

  <正> 鼻子作为脸部的五官之一,其作用是用于呼吸和嗅气味。然而,它也可以为脸部增加美感或表现出个性化的特征。西拉诺·德·贝尔热拉克(Cyrano de Bergerac)曾说过,一个大鼻子可显示出伟人的特点,即有胆识、谦恭、充满智慧、具有男子汉的气概。而一个著名的女诗人曾希望自己有两个鼻子来闻玫瑰花的芳香。法国哲学家,布莱斯·帕斯卡(Blaise Pascal)曾对克娄巴特拉(公元前51年——公元前31年埃及女王)的鼻子作过有趣的评论。他说,如果克娄巴特拉的鼻子当时若短了一些,整个世界的面貌会不同。因此,现在人们常用Cleopatra's Nose(克娄巴特拉的鼻子)来比喻历史发展的偶然性。由此可见,鼻子的作用是举足轻重的。在英语语言文化中,鼻子带来了丰富的联想。人们用鼻子来表达他们的情感,如愤怒、骄

• 英国人谈“天”

  邹力;

  <正> 你知道吗,为什么英国人总是以谈天为话题开头?除了避免谈及涉及个人隐私的话题,伤害他人感情的原因外,在英国的亲身体验使我找到了另外的答案。原来,英国地处大西洋东北部,气候温暖湿润,多雨雾,日照较少。英国的气候变化多端,风雨交加是"家常饭",雨中行更是"小菜一盘",尤其在冬春季节,阳光明媚的日子很少,连续几个晴天就会使人感到极不寻常,兴奋的人们就会纷纷走出门户,享受阳光。所以谈"天"成为英国人生活中的一个重要话题。

• CET中的倒装

  董晓波;

  <正> 英语句子的一般语序为"主语部分+谓语部分"。如果把谓语放在主语的前面,我们称之为倒装,倒装分完全倒装和部分倒装。把谓语部分完全放到主语前称为完全倒装,把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前,我们称之为部分倒装。纵观历年CET考题,"倒装"是常考的项目。本文对有关"倒装"的试题进行有关的总结和归纳。文中绝大部分直接取自历次CET考试真题。一.代词neither,nor,no more用于后面分句句首,但前面分句必须是否定句,且后面分句不仅用倒装结构,而且(包括助动词)必须和前句一致。so作句首的分句前面须是肯定句。 1.否定形式:neither(nor)+be,have,助动词或情态动词+主语

(所谓翻译,是指从语义到文体上在译语中用最切近而且最自然的对等语再现原语的信息。)我国翻译家严复提出的"信、达、雅"翻译三原则,给译者指出了方向,同时也提出了要求。故而林语堂译《浮生六记》后叹曰"译事难矣",鲁迅先生在论及翻译时也曾況过"为求一字,绕室终日"的话。难则难矣,然而不同文化的交流,仍离不开广大翻译工作者的不懈努力。虽然翻译界一向有"翻译无理论"一说,然而倘若我们细加研究起来,却会发觉其
