1.elder 与elderly
两者都为“年老的”,但有细微的差别。 elderly 指中年与暮年之间的年龄,表示人已过中年,因此,这词常用来代替 old。如:an elderly gentleman. 一位年长的绅士。elder指年龄稍长者,适用于家庭的兄弟姐妹之间。如: Tom is the elder of the two. 汤姆是两个孩子中较大的一个。
2.precious 和 expensive
expensive 表示“昂贵的”。如:the drink was cheap , but the food was very expensive . 饮料很便宜,但食物很贵。 precious 表示“珍贵的,宝贵的”。如:the children are precious to me . 孩子们对我来说很重要。
3.regret to do 和 regret doing
egret doing 表示“做了某事而感到遗憾或后悔”,v-ing 动作发生在regret 之前。如:i regretted missing the train. 我为没有赶上火车而感到很懊恼。 regret to do 指“当时或现在遗憾地做什么”。如:i regret to tell you that we can't stay here any longer. 我遗憾地告诉你,我们不能在这儿多呆了。
4.day by day 和 day after day
两词组意思很近,但有区别:day by day 只用作状语,表示“一天天地”, 有逐渐转变的意思。如:day by day she seems to grow a little taller.她似乎一天天地长高了。 day after day 可作主语,宾语等,亦可作状语,表示“一天又一天”,强调动作的重复,表示时间的长久。如: we do the same work day after day. 每天我们做着同样的事情。/ day after day went by , and i still don't receive her letter. 一天天过去了,我还是没有收到她的来信。
5.damp 与 wet
两者都表示“潮湿的”,但有细微差别。wet 指曾浸泡在液体中或布满了液体的东西,或指多雨的天气。如: it's a wet day. 今天是一个雨天。/ wet clothes 湿衣服。 damp 指未湿透但潮湿的东西。 the damp in the air makes me uncomfortable. 潮湿的空气使我感到不舒服。
6.hunger 与 starvation
两词都表“饥饿”。 hunger 指人对食物的迫切要求,是一种正常的生理现象。如: hunger is the best sauce. 肚子饿了吃什么都香。而 starvation 指长时间缺乏食物引起痛苦,与 hunger 相比是不正常的生理现象,而是人为的灾难。如: the old man died of starvation. 那个老人活活饿死了。
7.boring 与 dull , tiresome
三词都为“令人厌烦的”,但有区别:boring 概念最广,尤指引起人厌倦、枯燥的谈话文章,也指令人生厌的人。 如:the talk was very long and boring. 这篇谈话冗长,毫无趣味。 dull 与 boring 极为相近,也指因呆板或缺乏趣味性而令人感到厌倦。如: a dull book 一本枯燥的书。 tiresome主指单调沉闷而产生疲倦厌烦。如:it's tiresome to be funny for a whole evening整晚上都逗笑取乐是很疲劳的。
8.gift 与 present
两词都为“礼物”,但有细微的差别。 gift 既指免费捐赠给团体或机构的物品,也指亲友间互赠礼品。如: a gift to the museum一件捐给博物馆的赠品。present 指亲友间互赠, 如: here is a little present for you. 这儿有你一份小小的礼物。
9.handsome 与 beautiful
两词都表“美丽”,但有区别。 beautiful 指优美和谐、高贵,多形容妇女、地方、事物,很少用来形容男子。如: a beautiful woman 一位美丽的妇女 / a beautiful scene美景。而 handsome 用于形容男人,表示英俊潇洒。如: he is a tall and handsome man. 他是一个高大英俊的男人。
10.country 与 nation
country 表示国家,包括领土和人民,着重指疆土。该词概念极为广泛,可用于各种文体,有时作“祖国”讲,带感情色彩。如:china is a great country with a long history .中国是一个历史悠久的伟大国家。/ his fathers country was france. 他父亲的祖国是法国。/ after many years abroad,he wanted to return home to his country. 在国外呆了多年以后,他想回到自己的祖国去。country 来源于拉丁文contra,是对立的意思,即某地区与其他地区极不相同从而独立存在。nation指在某一国土上定居的人民,以及代表他们的独立政权。nation 来源于拉丁文nasci,意思是出生,nation原指具有相同血源的民族,因此它强调一个国家中的人民,概念较country 狭窄。如: the chinese nation 中华民族。the whole nation rose to resist aggression. 全民奋起抗击侵略。/ the president spoke on radio to the nation. 总统通过广播向全国人民讲话。 但在国际交往正式场合下,ation 语体庄重,较country 用得多。如:the united nations 联合国/ a most favoured nation 最惠国 / the law of nations 国际公法
经典英语谚语
1、诗
《元日》(宋)王安石
爆竹声中一岁除,春风送暖入屠苏;
千门万户瞳瞳日,总把新桃换旧符。
田家元日
(唐)孟浩然
昨夜斗回北,今朝岁起东;
我年已强壮,无禄尚忧农。
桑野就耕父,荷锄随牧童;
田家占气候,共说此年丰。
2、来历
春节,是农历的岁首,春节的另一名称叫过年,是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日,也是中国人所独有的节日。是中华文明最集中的表现。自西汉以来,春节的习俗一直延续到今天。春节一般指除夕和正月初一。但在民间,传统意义上的春节是指从腊月初八的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶,一直到正月十五,其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。如何过庆贺这个节日,在千百年的历史发展中,形成了一些较为固定的风俗习惯,有许多还相传至今。在春节这一传统节日期间,我国的汉族和大多数少数民族都有要举行各种庆祝活动,这些活动大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除旧布新、迎禧接福、祈求丰年为主要内容。活动形式丰富多彩,带有浓郁的民族特色。2006年5月20日,“春节”民俗经国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。
春节的来历有一种传说,中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽,头长触角,凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底,每到除夕才爬上岸,吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此,每到除夕这天,村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山,以躲避“年”兽的伤害。有一年除夕,从村外来了个乞讨的老人。乡亲们一片匆忙恐慌景象,只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物,并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽,那老人捋髯笑道:“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜,我一定把„年‟兽撵走。”老婆婆仍然继续劝说,乞讨老人笑而不语。 半夜时分,“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同:村东头老婆婆家,门贴大红纸,屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖,怪叫了一声。将近门口时,院内突然传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声,“年”浑身战栗,再不敢往前凑了。原来,“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时,婆婆的家门大开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色,狼狈逃蹿了。第二天是正月初一,避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时,老婆婆才恍然大悟,赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了,人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法。(客家人的传说)从此每年除夕,家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹;户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一清早,还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广,成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。
3、对联

有志金龙越古今
龙凤炳文神州焕彩
鲲鹏展翅华夏腾飞
龙凤呈祥阳春锦绣
鲲鹏展翅华夏腾飞
澳归犹凭龙剑气
邦兴勿忘虎门烟
4、习俗
春节是我国一个古老的节日,也是全年最重要的一个节日,如何过庆贺这个节日,在千百年的历史发展中,形成了一些较为固定的风俗习惯,有许多还相传至今。
扫尘
“腊月二十四,掸尘扫房子” ,据《吕氏春秋》记载,我国在尧舜时代就有春节扫尘的风俗。按民间的说法:因“尘”与“陈”谐音,新春扫尘有“除陈布新”的涵义,其用意是要把一切穷运、晦气统统扫出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。 每逢春节来临,家家户户都要打扫环境,清洗各种器具,拆洗被褥窗帘,洒扫六闾庭院,掸拂尘垢蛛网,疏浚明渠暗沟。到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的欢乐气氛。
贴春联
春联也叫门对、春贴、对联、对子、桃符等,它以工整、对偶、简洁、精巧的文字描绘时代背景,抒发美好愿望,是我国特有的文学形式。每逢春节,无论城市还是农村,家家户户都要精选一幅大红春联贴于门上,为节日增加喜庆气氛。这一习俗起于宋代,在明代开始盛行,到了清代,春联的思想性和艺术性都有了很大的提高,梁章矩编写的春联专著《槛联丛话》对楹联的起源及各类作品的特色都作了论述。
春联的种类比较多,依其使用场所,可分为门心、框对、横披、春条、斗方等。“门心”贴于门板上端中心部位;“框对”贴于左右两个门框上;“横披”贴于门媚的横木上;“春条”根据不同的内容,贴于相应的地方;“斗斤”也叫“门叶”,为正方菱形,多贴在家俱、影壁中。
贴窗花和倒贴“福”字
在民间人们还喜欢在窗户上贴上各种剪纸——窗花。窗花不仅烘托了喜庆的节日气氛,也集装饰性、欣赏性和实用性于一体。剪纸在我国是一种很普及的民间艺术,千百年来深受人们的喜爱,因它大多是贴在窗户上的,所以也被称其为“窗花”。窗花以其特有的概括和夸张手法将吉事祥物、美好愿望表现得淋漓尽致,将节日装点得红火富丽。
在贴春联的同时,一些人家要在屋门上、墙壁上、门楣上贴上大大小小的“福”字。春节贴“福”字,是我国民间由来已久的风俗。“福”字指福气、福运,寄托了人们对幸福生活的向往,对美好未来的祝愿。为了更充分地体现这种向往和祝愿,有的人干脆将“福”字倒过来贴,表示“幸福已到”“福气已到”。民间还有将“福”字精描细做成各种图案的,图案有寿星、寿桃、鲤鱼跳龙门、五谷丰登、龙凤呈祥等。
年画
春节挂贴年画在城乡也很普遍,浓黑重彩的年画给千家万户平添了许多兴旺欢乐的喜庆气氛。年画是我国的一种古老的民间艺术,反映了人民朴素的风俗和信仰,寄托着他们对未来的希望。年画,也和春联一样,起源于“门神”。 随着木板印刷术的兴起,年画的内容已不仅限于门神之类单调的主题,变得丰富多彩,在一些年画作坊中产生了《福禄寿三星图》、《天官赐福》、《五谷丰登》、《六畜兴旺》、《迎春接福》等精典的彩色年画、以满足人们喜庆祈年的美好愿望。 我国出现了年画三个重要产地:苏州桃花坞,天津杨柳青和山东潍坊;形成了中国年画的三大流派,各具特色。
我国现今我国收藏最早的年画是南宋《随朝窈窕呈倾国之芳容》的木刻年画,画的是王昭君、赵飞燕、班姬和绿珠四位古代美人。民间流传最广的是一幅《老鼠娶亲》的年画。描绘了老鼠依照人间的风俗迎娶新娘的有趣场面。民国初年,上海郑曼陀将月历和年画二者结合起来。这是年画的一种新形式。这种合二而一的年画,以后发展成挂历,至今风靡全国。
守岁
除夕守岁是最重要的年俗活动之一,守岁之俗由来已久。最早记载见于西晋周处的《风土志》:除夕之夜,各相与赠送,称为“馈岁”;酒食相邀,称为“别岁”;长幼聚饮,祝颂完备,称为“分岁”;大家终夜不眠,以待天明,称曰“守岁”。
“一夜连双岁,五更分二天”,除夕之夜,全家团聚在一起,吃过年夜饭,点起蜡烛或油灯,围坐炉旁闲聊,等着辞旧迎新的时刻,通宵守夜,象征着把一切邪瘟病疫照跑驱走,期待着新的一年吉祥如意。这种习俗后来逐渐盛行,到唐朝初期,唐太宗李世民写有“守岁”诗:“寒辞去冬雪,暖带入春风”。直到今天,人们还习惯在除夕之夜守岁迎新。
古时守岁有两种含义:年长者守岁为“辞旧岁”,有珍爱光阴的意思;年轻人守岁,是为延长父母寿命。自汉代以来,新旧年交替的时刻一般为夜半时分。
爆竹
中国民间有“开门爆竹”一说。即在新的一年到来之际,家家户户开门的第一件事就是燃放爆竹,以哔哔叭叭的爆竹声除旧迎新。爆竹是中国特产,亦称“爆仗”、“炮仗”、“鞭炮”。
其起源很早,至今已有两千多年的历史。放爆竹可以创造出喜庆热闹的气氛,是节日的一种娱乐活动,可以给人们带来欢愉和吉利。随着时间的推移,爆竹的应用越来越广泛,品种花色也日见繁多,每逢重大节日及喜事庆典,及婚嫁、建房、开业等,都要燃放爆竹以示庆贺,图个吉利。现在,湖南浏阳,广东佛山和东尧,江西的宜春和萍乡、浙江温州等地区是我国著名的花炮之乡,生产的爆竹花色多,品质高,不仅畅销全国,而且还远销世界。
拜年
新年的初一,人们都早早起来,穿上最漂亮的衣服,打扮得整整齐齐,出门去走亲访友,相互拜年,恭祝来年大吉大利。拜年的方式多种多样,有的是同族长带领若干人挨家挨户地拜年;有的是同事相邀几个人去拜年;也有大家聚在一起相互祝贺,称为“团拜”。由于登门拜年费时费力,后来一些上层人物和士大夫便使用各贴相互投贺,由此发展出来后来的“贺年片”。
春节拜年时,晚辈要先给长辈拜年,祝长辈人长寿安康,长辈可将事先准备好的压岁钱分给晚辈,据说压岁钱可以压住邪祟,因为“岁”与“祟”谐音,晚辈得到压岁钱就可以平平安安度过一岁。压岁钱有两种,一种是以彩绳穿线编作龙形,置于床脚,此记载见于《燕京岁时记》;另一种是最常见的,即由家长用红纸包裹分给孩子的钱。压岁钱可在晚辈拜年后当众赏给,亦可在除夕夜孩子睡着时,由家长偷偷地放在孩子的枕头底下。现在长辈为晚辈分送压岁钱的习俗仍然盛行。
春节食俗
在古代的农业社会里,大约自腊月初八以后,家庭主妇们就要忙着张罗过年的食品了。因为腌制腊味所需的时间较长,所以必须尽早准备,我国许多省份都有腌腊味的习俗,其中又以广东省的腊味最为著名。
蒸年糕,年糕因为谐音“年高”,再加上有着变化多端的口味,几乎成了家家必备的应景食品。年糕的式样有方块状的黄、白年糕,象征着黄金、白银,寄寓新年发财的意思。
年糕的口味因地而异。北京人喜食江米或黄米制成的红枣年糕、百果年糕和白年糕。河北人则喜欢在年糕中加入大枣、小红豆及绿豆等一起蒸食。山西北部在内蒙古等地,过年时习惯吃黄米粉油炸年糕,有的还包上豆沙、枣泥等馅,山东人则用黄米、红枣蒸年糕。北方的年糕以甜为主,或蒸或炸,也有人干脆沾糖吃。南方的年糕则甜咸兼具,例如苏州及宁波的年糕,以粳米制作,味道清淡。除了蒸、炸以外,还可以切片炒食或是煮汤。甜味的年糕以糯米粉加白糖、猪油、玫瑰、桂花、薄荷、素蓉等配料,做工精细,可以直接蒸食或是沾上蛋清油炸。
真正过年的前一夜叫团圆夜,离家在外的游子都要不远千里万里赶回家来,全家人要围坐在一起包饺子过年,饺子的作法是先和面做成饺子皮,再用皮包上馅,馅的内容是五花八门,各种肉、蛋、海鲜、时令蔬菜等都可入馅,正统的饺子吃法,是清水煮熟,捞起后以调有醋、蒜末、香油的酱油为佐料沾着吃。也有炸饺子、烙饺子(锅贴)等吃法。因为和面的“和”字就是“合”的意思;饺子的“饺”和“交”谐音,“合”和“交”又有相聚之意,所以用饺子象征团聚合欢;又取更岁交子之意,非常吉利;此外,饺子因为形似元宝,过年时吃饺子,也
带有“招财进宝”的吉祥含义。一家大小聚在一起包饺子,话新春,其乐融融。 你可以选写,
