双语新闻-研究:为什么肤色白皙的女子受到偏爱

  Gentlemen do not just prefer blondes, but lighter-skinned women in general, a study has suggested.

  Scientists looking into attractiveness in men and women suggest that men from all races find fairer-skinned woman most alluring, while women are the polar opposite and favour darker, brooding men.

  They said the attraction is driven by preferences based on moral assumptions.

  Men are subconsciously attracted to fairer-skinned icons such as Nicole Kidman or Kylie Minogue because of the skin tone's association with innocence, purity, modesty, virginity, vulnerability and goodness.

  Women, on the other hand, pick men with darker complexions - such as film stars Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell or Jamie Foxx - because these are associated with sex, virility, mystery, villainy and danger.

  The latter two actors were paired together in the recent Miami Vice movie, which topped the box office on both sides of the Atlantic despite lukewarm reviews.

  Academics at the University of Toronto in Canada say their study proves the fair maiden of myth has a basis in scientific reality.

  They studied more than 2,000 advertising photographs and found that the skin of white women was 15.2 per cent lighter than the skin of white males, and the skin of black women 11.1 per cent lighter than the skin of black men.

  Dr Shyon Baumann, a sociologist involved in the study, said: "What the research shows is that our aesthetic preferences operate to reflect moral preferences.

  "Within our cultures we have a set of ideals about how women should look and behave.

  "Lightness and darkness have particular meanings attached to them and we subconsciously relate those moral preferences to women."

  In effect, men drawn to darker looking women - such as actress Monica Bellucci - are expressing a preference for danger.

  Dr Baumann said this appreciation of a darker complexion in women is "less common" but "appears to coexist with a view of such women as more overtly sexual.

  一项研究表明,男士不只青睐皮肤白皙、金发碧眼的女士,总的来说,他们对浅肤色的女性都比较感兴趣。

  科研人员对男性和女性的吸引力特征进行探究后发现,所有种族的男性都认为肤色较浅的女性最具吸引力,而女性的观点则正好相反,她们更青睐肤色黝黑的深沉男士。

  研究人员称,这种喜好取决于对异性的"道德假定"偏好。

  男性潜意识里更青睐皮肤白皙的女明星,比如妮可?基德曼、凯莉?米洛,因为这种肤色让人联想到天真、单纯、端庄、纯洁、柔弱和善良。

  然而,女性则更青睐肤色较深的男性,比如影星强尼?戴普、柯林?法勒尔和杰米?福克斯,因为这样的肤色给人一种性感、阳刚、神秘、邪恶和危险的感觉。

  柯林?法瑞尔和杰米?福克斯联合主演的(饰演两位警察卧底)新片《迈阿密风云》尽管得到的评价并不高,但它在大西洋两岸均取得了票房冠军。

  加拿大多伦多大学的研究人员称,该研究证明传说中的窈窕淑女是有现实的科学依据的。

  研究人员对两千多张广告照片进行了研究,发现白人女性的肤色白皙度比男性高15.2%,黑人女性的肤色白皙度比男性高11.1%。

  研究小组成员之一、社会学家施恩?鲍曼恩说:"研究表明,我们的审美喜好能反映出我们的'道德喜好'。"

  "我们的文化中存在一套有关女性外表和举止的完美典范。"

  "因此,肤色深浅也被赋予了特殊含义,我们潜意识里会将那些'道德喜好'与女性联系在一起。"

  实际上,有的男性喜欢像(意大利)影星莫妮卡?贝鲁奇这种深肤色的女性,这说明他们偏爱"危险感"。

  鲍曼恩说,喜欢深肤色女性的人"并不多见",但"同时有观点认为,这种肤色的女性显得更加性感"。

想笑就笑-它们是从美国直接带来的

  Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States, she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her. At the bank counter, the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real. It made the old lady out of patience.

  At last she could not hold any more, uttering. "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."

  一位中国老妇人在美国看望女儿回来不久,到一家市银行存女儿送给她的美元。在银行柜台,银行职员认真检查了每一张钞票,看是否有假。

  这种做法让老妇人很不耐烦,最后实在忍耐不住说:"相信我,先生,也请你相信这些钞票。这都是真正的美元,它们是从美国直接带来的。"

安徒生童话-GRANDMOTHER

  GRANDMOTHER is very old, her face is wrinkled, and her hair is quite white; but her eyes are like two stars, and they have a mild, gentle expression in them when they look at you, which does you good. She wears a dress of heavy, rich silk, with large flowers worked on it; and it rustles when she moves. And then she can tell the most wonderful stories. Grandmother knows a great deal, for she was alive before father and mother- that's quite certain. She has a hymn-book with large silver clasps, in which she often reads; and in the book, between the leaves, lies a rose, quite flat and dry; it is not so pretty as the roses which are standing in the glass, and yet she smiles at it most pleasantly, and tears even come into her eyes. "I wonder why grandmother looks at the withered flower in the old book that way? Do you know?" Why, when grandmother's tears fall upon the rose, and she is looking at it, the rose revives, and fills the room with its fragrance; the walls vanish as in a mist, and all around her is the glorious green wood, where in summer the sunlight streams through thick foliage; and grandmother, why she is young again, a charming maiden, fresh as a rose, with round, rosy cheeks, fair, bright ringlets, and a figure pretty and graceful; but the eyes, those mild, saintly eyes, are the same,- they have been left to grandmother.At her side sits a young man, tall and strong; he gives her a rose and she smiles. Grandmother cannot smile like that now. Yes, she is smiling at the memory of that day, and many thoughts and recollections of the past; but the handsome young man is gone, and the rose has withered in the old book, and grandmother is sitting there, again an old woman, looking down upon the withered rose in the book. Grandmother is dead now. She had been sitting in her arm-chair, telling us a long, beautiful tale; and when it was finished, she said she was tired, and leaned her head back to sleep awhile. We could hear her gentle breathing as she slept; gradually it became quieter and calmer, and on her countenance beamed happiness and peace. It was as if lighted up with a ray of sunshine. She smiled once more, and then people said she was dead. She was laid in a black coffin, looking mild and beautiful in the white folds of the shrouded linen, though her eyes were closed; but every wrinkle had vanished, her hair looked white and silvery, and around her mouth lingered a sweet smile.

  We did not feel at all afraid to look at the corpse of her who had been such a dear, good grandmother. The hymn-book, in which the rose still lay, was placed under her head, for so she had wished it; and then they buried grandmother. On the grave, close by the churchyard wall, they planted a rose-tree; it was soon full of roses, and the nightingale sat among the flowers, and sang over the grave. From the organ in the church sounded the music and the words of the beautiful psalms, which were written in the old book under the head of the dead one.

The moon shone down upon the grave, but the dead was not there; every child could go safely, even at night, and pluck a rose from the tree by the churchyard wall. The dead know more than we do who are living. They know what a terror would come upon us if such a strange thing were to happen, as the appearance of a dead person among us.

  They are better off than we are; the dead return no more. The earth has been heaped on the coffin, and it is earth only that lies withinit. The leaves of the hymn-book are dust; and the rose, with all its recollections, has crumbled to dust also. But over the grave fresh roses bloom, the nightingale sings, and the organ sounds and there still lives a remembrance of old grandmother, with the loving, gentle eyes that always looked young. Eyes can never die. Ours will once again behold dear grandmother, young and beautiful as when, for the first time, she kissed the fresh, red rose, that is now dust in the grave.

THE END

商贸英语-石油期货价格首次全线突破100美元

  2016年12月之前交割的所有原油期货价格均已突破每桶100美元大关,因为投资者预计,即使美国经济放缓导致石油成本在短期内有所下降,但在长期内,石油成本仍将保持在高水平。

  Crude oil futures prices for delivery until 2016 have surged above $100 a barrel as investors bet that oil costs will remain high in the long term even if they weaken in the short because the impact of the US economic slowdown.

  由于长期期货价格强劲上涨,2016年12月之前交割的所有原油期货价格上周收盘首次全线超过100美元。纽约商交所(Nymex) 2016年12月期货上周五收于每桶103.59美元。

  Every futures contract until December 2016 finished last week above $100 a barrel for the first time after a strong rally in long-dated futures prices. The Nymex December 2016 future settled on Friday at $103.59 a barrel.

  在长期原油期货价格大幅上涨之际,作为西方国家的石油监管机构,国际能源机构(IEA)将于今日会见金融、贸易、生产、提炼领域的专家和经济学家,讨论当前价格上涨的根本原因。

  The surge in long-dated prices comes as the International Energy Agency, the western countries' oil watchdog, meets financial, trading, producing, refining and economic experts today to discuss the roots of the current price rise.

  此次会议显示,决策者越来越担心油价上涨问题。从2007年初到上周,石油价格已经从每桶大约50美元上涨至111美元。

  The meeting signals policymakers' growing concerns about the rise in the oil price from about $50 a barrel in early 2007 to a record high of $111 last week.

  分析师称,长期合约价格最近大涨,将会进一步加剧人们的忧虑。在过去6个月中,长期石油期货价格涨势一直强于现货价格。自去年9月至今,5年期合约价格上涨了45.3%,而现货价格的涨幅只有38.1%。

  Those concerns will be re- inforced by the recent surge in forward prices, analysts said. Long-dated oil futures have outperformed spot prices during the past six months. The five-year forward price has risen 45.3 per cent since September, while the spot price has risen by 38.1 per cent.

  法国巴黎银行(BNP Paribas)的Harry Tchilinguirian表示,最近的油价变动反映了市场人气的变化。"长期合约价格体现的是新增石油供给成本,它们目前仍在高位震荡,继续反映出市场人气中根深蒂固的对供给问题的担忧--不只是今年,而且包括以后。"

  Harry Tchilinguirian of BNP Paribas said the recent move reflected a shift in sentiment. "Long-dated prices, a proxy for the cost of new oil supply, are still high and volatile and continue to reflect the ingrained supply-side concerns in market sentiment - not just for this year, but beyond," he said.

  分析师称,人们担忧的内容还包括不断上升的通货膨胀率、石油生产国税率的提高,以及外界无从"问津"沙特、科威特、委内瑞拉和墨西哥等国国有石油公司控制的石油储量。

  

  Among those concerns, analysts said, is rising inflation, increases in taxation in producing countries and a lack of access to reserves controlled by national oil companies in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Venezuela and Mexico.

ASCENDING THE PAGODA AT THE TEMPLE OF KIND

FAVOUR WITH GAO SHI AND XUE JU

Cen Can

The pagoda, rising abruptly from earth,

Reaches to the very Palace of Heaven….

Climbing, we seem to have left the world behind us,

With the steps we look down on hung from space.

It overtops a holy land

And can only have been built by toil of the spirit.

Its four sides darken the bright sun,

Its seven stories cut the grey clouds;

Birds fly down beyond our sight,

And the rapid wind below our hearing;

Mountain-ranges, toward the east,

Appear to be curving and flowing like rivers;

Far green locust-trees line broad roads

Toward clustered palaces and mansions;

Colours of autumn, out of the west,

Enter advancing through the city;

And northward there lie, in five graveyards,

Calm forever under dewy green grass,

Those who know life's final meaning

Which all humankind must learn.

…Henceforth I put my official hat aside.

To find the Eternal Way is the only happiness.

英文演讲-President's Radio Address

March 15, 2008

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. On Friday, I traveled to New York City to talk about the state of our economy. This is a topic that has been a source of concern for families across America. In the long run, we can be confident that our economy will continue to grow, but in the short run, it is clear that growth has slowed.

Fortunately, we recognized this slowdown early, and took action to give our economy a shot in the arm. My Administration worked with Congress to pass a bipartisan economic growth package that includes tax relief for families and incentives for business investment. I signed this package into law last month -- and its provisions are just starting to kick in. My economic team, along with many outside experts, expects this stimulus package to have a positive effect on our economy in the second quarter. And they expect it to have even a stronger effect in the third quarter, when the full effects of the $152 billion in tax cuts are felt.

A root cause of the economic slowdown has been the downturn in the housing market. I believe the government can take sensible, focused action to help responsible homeowners weather this rough patch. But we must do so with clear purpose and great care, because government actions often have far-reaching and unintended consequences. If we were to pursue some of the sweeping government solutions that we hear about in Washington, we would make a complicated problem even worse -- and end up hurting far more homeowners than we help.

For example, one proposal would give bankruptcy courts the authority to reduce mortgage debts by judicial decree. This would make it harder to afford a home in the future, because banks would charge higher interest rates to cover this risk.

Some in Washington say the government should take action to artificially prop up home prices. It's important to understand that this would hurt millions of Americans. For example, many young couples trying to buy their first home have been priced out of the market because of inflated prices. The market now is in the process of correcting itself, and delaying that correction would only prolong the problem.

My Administration opposes these proposals. Instead, we are focused on helping a targeted group of homeowners -- those who have made responsible buying decisions and could avoid foreclosure with a little help. We've taken three key steps to help these homeowners.

First, we launched a new program that gives the Federal Housing Administration greater flexibility to offer refinancing for struggling homeowners with otherwise good credit histories. Second, we helped bring together the Hope Now Alliance, which is streamlining the process for refinancing and modifying many mortgages. Third, the Federal Government is taking regulatory steps to make the housing market more transparent and fair in the long run.

And now Congress must build on these efforts. Members need to pass legislation to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, modernize the Federal Housing Administration, and allow state housing agencies to issue tax-free bonds to help homeowners refinance their mortgages.

Congress also needs to take other steps to help our economy through this period of uncertainty. Members need to make the tax relief we passed permanent, reduce wasteful spending, and open new markets for American goods, services, and investment.

By taking these steps and avoiding bad policy decisions, we will see our economy strengthen as the year progresses. As we take decisive action, we will keep this in mind: When you are steering a car in a rough patch, one of the worst things you can do is overcorrect. That often results in losing control and can end up with the car in a ditch. Steering through a rough patch requires a steady hand on the wheel and your eyes up on the horizon. And that's exactly what we're going to do.

Thank you for listening.

END
