个人简介

学习语言,仰望赵元任;热爱文学,心慕沈从文;钻研古文,欲追章太炎;留学外国,难拟胡适。样样都不如人,固然因为天资迥异,也有心有旁鹜的缘故。研究生毕业后,生活稍得安定,夜以继日地阅读《十三经注疏》,希望关于古代的学问有所长进,但是“为稻梁谋”的压力恒在,于是兼课校外,直至今日,虽然关于古代文献和外国文献的笔记积薪渐多,但始终无时间整理出版,只能聊充书蠹的美食。尽管理想远大,但是所成极少,何其遗憾!仿佛理想是一颗参天大树,但在现实中小树刚萌芽就结束了。用古罗马文艺理论家贺拉斯的话唬人,就是:“大山临蓐,却只产下只老鼠”。从事测试培训,无暇学问。偶有所得,愿与人分享,文章涉及雅思、考研、TOEFLGRE、语言文化等。此为开博缘起。文章版权属于本人,转载请注明作者和本博客。

兴趣与爱好

热爱语言研究,尤其是对古汉语和罗曼语族、日尔曼语族诸语言的研究;喜欢在漫漫冬夜阅读各类辞典,尤其是引语辞典,对《牛津引语辞典》中的奇闻轶事经常会心而笑。试举一例:该辞典第二十一页载约翰·奥布里(John Aubrey,1626-1679)所记瓦尔特爵士(Sir Walter)一则轶事:“高朋满座;瓦尔特爵士听了儿子之言十分惊异,脸色大变,往儿子脸上狠命一掴。儿子粗鲁不逊其父,不殴其父,重掴邻座一位先生,同时出言:‘依次掴去,速及吾父。’”(Sir Walter, being strangely surprised and put out of his countenance at so great a table, gives his son a damned blow over the face. His son, as rude as he was, would not strike his father, but strikes over the face the gentleman that sat next to him and said, “Box about: ’twill come to my father anon.”) 轶事中儿子遭父亲扇耳光,于礼无法直接还手,只得扇邻座的耳光,又让邻座扇自己邻座的耳光,如此下去,不久就会扇到父亲的脸上。如此报复之法,怪哉!

考研复试七大心理分析 (2008-04-07 12:34)

 

  

李传伟

 

    春来了,还谈不上迎春,其姿色尚不足以撩拨我们,只能算是春在与我们调情。哈佛威德纳图书馆前的金缕梅正试探着初放,在春风中散发着淡淡的清香。

    常常收到同学们的来信,询问考研复试的准备方法。根据我长期的教学经验,我认为此时最关键的是心理准备。参加考研复试,心态各异,现归纳为七类,供大家参考:

 

类型

感受

天赋

语录

孤儿型

我如何受苦或生存下来

弹性

“太不公平了。我最有资格被录取。这学校肯定好不了”

第三十天:临场考试指导

 

    转眼就到考试的时候了。所有考生在考试内容的复习上已接近尾声。充分的内容准备如何化为理想的分数呢?其中关键的一环是临场发挥。如果说内容准备是雪中送炭,那么临场发挥就是锦上添花。我根据自己的考研经验与众多考生的感受,特提出下列建议:

1.放松心态。只有放松心态才能发挥出最佳水平。我记得有一次监考,一位考生好长时间都无法进入状态,一篇阅读,平时15-20分钟就能做完,当时却用了35分钟。这是过于紧张的缘故。为了避免这一现象,考前两三天的作息时间最好能比较规律,尤其是最后一天,应该早点儿休息。最后两三天的英语复习,如果有时间的话,主要是过一过真题中的单词,看一看要背诵的套话。另外,如果考试中真出现了紧张现象,可以先休息一下,待平静一会儿再继续答题。

2.调整顺序。考试时问题的出现顺序是:完

第二十九天:《经济学家》文章讲解之二

 

    除了假报告之外,奥运、环保方面的词汇也要准备一些。它们也是作文部分出题的重点方向。如奥运会(the Olympic Games)、奥运口号(Higher, faster, stronger)等都需要牢记。相关词汇只需上google搜索就可以找到。

    今天的结束语是:Writing makes one exact(写作使人精确)。

Truth in advertising(网络广告点击数的虚假不实可能影响广告业)

What makes Google so valuable? This week the search engine's share price rose above $500, valuing the company at more than $150 billion. Investors' optimism stems in large part from Google's dominance in the booming field of internet advertisin

    今天有两个任务。一是有一篇关于学术造假方面的文章,是应有些同学的要求提供的。注意文中的粗体部分,是一些可以借鉴的词汇与句子。二是选了《经济学家》的文章,文章本身并不难,如果不明白,可以看文章后面的摘要。

    今天的结束语是:唯一不变的是变化本身(The only thing that does not change is change itself)。

“How do I get into journalism?” is a question that almost anyone who works in this trade will have been asked by friends, godchildren, passing students and, in some cases, their parents. The answer, of course, is: “with difficulty”.

A breezily written new book by the writer, broadcaster and former editor of the Independent on Sunday, Kim Fletcher, recognises this. Its purpose, broadly, is to answer the question posed above, and to offer some tips on how to stay in journalism once you get there. Tenacity matters above all; and there’s a r
