注意:(以下每组的第一句的句子是错误的,或者是不为Native Speaker采用的说法)
1. I very like it
I like it very much.
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
The price is very suitable for me.
The price is right.
Note:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The
following programme is not suitable for
children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job?
Are you working at the moment?
Note:what’s your
job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are
you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working
these days?或者您从

蝴蝶效应 butterfly effect :
the phenomenon whereby a small change at one place in a complex
system can have large effects elsewhere, e.g., a butterfly flapping
its wings in Rio de Janeiro might change the weather in
Chicago)
蝴蝶效应是气象学家洛伦兹1963年提出来的。
其大意为:一只南美洲亚马孙河流域热带雨林中的蝴蝶,偶尔扇动几下翅膀,可能在两周后引起美国德克萨斯引起一场龙卷风。其原因在于:蝴蝶翅膀的运动,导致其身边的空气系统发生变化,并引起微弱气流的产生,而微弱气流的产生又会引起它四周空气或其他系统产生相应的变化,由此引起连锁反映,最终导致其他系统的极大变化。
此效应说明,事物发展的结果,对初始条件具有极为敏感的依赖性,初始条件的极小偏差,将会引起结果的极大差异。
