The Superstition Differences between China and the USA

前记：自本人转入辽大以来第一次写这么长的学术论文，简直是惊天地泣鬼神，对我的身心是第一流的挑战，我倾其所能独辟蹊径写出这片幼稚的文章，虽然很不成熟但希望能与大家共同探讨，如您想摘录或转载，请予我联系。

In the 21 century, we are really lucky to live in such a modern and scientific society which most people believe in knowledge and science. However unfortunately, superstitions can be seen nearly everywhere also unavoidably including China and American throughout the globe. Initially, Chinese have superstitions in most aspects of their lives while do the Americans. What’s more, the population who believes in superstition in China is more or less as that in America but the former is larger. Last but not leas

 最近天天看字典，看的我都郁闷了，前天我无意中在查别的词的时候突然看到了这个词--Dulux 大家都知道那是一家油漆的品牌，但这暗藏玄机。请看我从《朗文当代英语大辞典》引出的解释：

   Dulux:trademark of a type of paint used for painting the inside and outside of houses made by the British company ICI.It is known for the OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG(a large dog with long grey and white hair)that appears in this advertisements,and this type of dog is something called a Dulux dog.

 看字典还能看出可爱的小狗，并且还增长了见识，妙哉妙哉！

 由于本人的专业涉及英语,并且也立志作一名同声传译员,所以需要很多英文的工具书.特别是词典,现在为大家介绍一些,以资分享.

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!          

      Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008. You're going to have a great time in Beijing。

      China has its own sport legends. Back to Song Dynasty, about the 11th century, people started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. The game was very popular and women were also participating. Now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today. 

      There are a lot more wonderful and exciting things waiting for you in New Beijing, a dynamic modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry. Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city offers an endless mixture of

 A Reason, Season,or lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.
 
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvencient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take astand. Sometimes they die. What we must realize is that our need has been met. Our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Your need has been answered, and now it is time to move on.
 
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to sh

 什么是同声传译？

　　据广东外语外贸大学英语语言文化学院翻译系主任王丹介绍，翻译一般分为连续翻译和同声传译。连翻指在讲话时，主讲人讲一句停下来，翻译人员进行翻译传出去，主讲人再接着说；同传是指主讲人在讲话过程中翻译人员通过接收器在幕后一边听一边通过耳机把翻译结果同时传到场下听众耳朵里。

　　什么人可做同传？

　　要当同声传译人员可不是件容易事。据王老师介绍，至少要具备以下素质：语言表达能力强，反应速度快，短期记忆力好，知识面广。据悉，在华南地区，只有广外这一高校开设有高级口译专业。记者了解到在广外培养一个同传人员历程：英语专业学生到大二结束时，老师会根据学生兴趣和以往两年成绩挑选出一些好苗子（一般100个挑20个），大三开始这群学生就是翻译系学生。以后他们会接受一连串严格训练，包括连译和笔译，训练内容包括增加学生对各行各业专用术语词汇，加工语言能力。还有技巧方面包括眼神、声调等运用，还要教会学生怎样一边听一边翻译，也就是俗称“一心两用”。

　　王老师透露了训练一心两用方法影子练习：首先是原语重复，老师读一句，学生跟着背一句；接着是老师读一
