团子十四

今天不想上颜色了，因为觉得也没什么人看。打算把这些都打印出来，彩色版，在Word里头看得就是舒服，音标也显示得很好。已经坚持5天了，再接再厉吧。

今天要把星火四级单词的Word List 1-6复习一遍。然后要写年段的大事件散文的一部分。然后要洗衣服洗书包洗鞋子。早上希望把这些事情做完。下午继续把沪江英语订阅节目看一遍，看老友记，看《基督山伯爵》，最近终于又充实起来了。

How the G-20 Succeeded -- And Why It Matters

http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090402/wl_time/08599188922600

And by that measure, the G-20 summit in London was a rip-roaring sensation, with several countries seeking to share in the glory.

rip  [rip]  v.扯破，撕坏 n.裂口，裂缝

roar  [rɔ:]  vt.大声喊出 vi./ n.咆哮(声)；轰鸣

rip-roaring   adj. 吵闹的, 喧嚷的

French President Nicolas Sarkozy bigged up his own role in agitating for the measures.

agitate  ['ædʒiteit] vi.(for,against)煽动,鼓动 vt.搅动

Yet as American officials tell it, the real hero of the hour, proving his mettle at his first summit, was President Barack Obama.

mettle  ['metl]  n.勇气，斗志

The remaining point of disagreement, which threatened until the last minute to derail the consensus so devoutly wished for by all parties, centered on tax havens.

derail  v. 出轨

devoutly adv. 虔诚地;虔敬地;衷心地

Sarkozy was determined that a list of tax havens that refuse to provide information to foreign tax authorities on request should be published immediately by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as part of a clampdown on such havens.

clampdown  ['klæmpdaun] n.对言行的限制或禁止 n. 压制, 取缔

China, not a member of the OECD, was stalling because of its concern that such a list might include Macau and Hong Kong, which have both recently moved to implement OECD standards.

stall  [stɔ:l] n.货摊；熄火；小隔间 v.(使)熄火；拖延；支吾

implement  ['implimənt] vt.使生效，履行，实施 n.工(器，用)具

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who with Sarkozy had insisted on banishing any Anglo-Saxon laxity from financial regulation, also expressed satisfaction at the conclusion of the summit, which produced not only a six-point communiquÉ but also two detailed annexes on how a tighter regulatory regime would work.

chancellor  ['tʃɑ:nsələ]  n.(英)名誉校长，(美)大学校长；(德)总理

banish  ['bæniʃ]  vt.放逐，驱逐；消除，排除

laxity  n.松驰，放纵

annex  [ə'neks, 'æneks]  vt.兼并，吞并 n.附属建筑物

regime  [rei'ʒi:m] n.政治制度，政权

A date and venue for the next meeting have not yet been set. 

Venue n. 犯罪地点, 审判地, 集合地点, 会议地点, 比赛地点, 管辖地

That's typical of the German leader's restrained approach and a salutary reminder, amid the backslapping, that the political success of the summit - the fact that leaders can go home and tell their citizens they did good - shouldn't be confused with its real, practical impact.

restrain  [ri'strein] vt.阻止，控制；抑制，遏制

salutary  ['sæljuətəri, -jəteri]  a.有益健康的

backslapping n.a. 【口】热烈赞扬(的);相互吹捧(的)

…… are nervous that their economy could be swept up in the global turmoil through no fault of their own.

turmoil  ['tə:mɔil]  n.骚动，混乱，动乱

…… led to a drastic drop in global commerce.

drastic  ['dræstik]  a.严厉的,极端的;激烈的,猛烈的

Under the deal, hedge funds and other financial-market players will be subject to far greater - and properly coordinated - international scrutiny, as will big banks with activities in several countries.

hedge  [hedʒ]  n.树篱；障碍物 vt.用篱笆围 vi.避免直接回答

The tax-haven issue that almost sank the summit means that those not complying with international standards on exchanging information will be publicly named and shamed.

comply  [kəm'plai]  vi.(with)遵从，依从，服从

Rudd's conclusion, echoed by many other delegates: "People beforehand said there would be a divide, but in fact there was an overwhelming drive toward achieving real action, real commitments and real timelines."

echo  ['ekəu]  n.回音，共鸣 vi.发出回声 vt.模仿，附和

overwhelming  ['əuvə'welmiŋ]  a.势不可挡的，压倒的；巨大的

overwhelm  ['əuvə'welm]  vt.使受不了，使不知所措；征服，制服

这里是我无聊看美剧看到的。

Nothing. I'm just out of sorts. （有点心烦。）

Please be kidding. （开什么玩笑?!)  某男对某男说，你可以把晚上要和MM说的dirty的话先和我练习一遍。ORZ。

I'm not playing hardball with you. （我不是在故意为难你）

Well, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but.. 恕我直言
