英文翻譯寫做的七年夜本則

一、長短句原則
工作還得一張一馳呢，老讓讀者讀長句，累死人!寫一個短小精闢的句子，相反，卻可以起到畫龍點睛的感化。而且如果我們把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以提醒主題： As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar. 如此可見，長短句結合，抑揚頓挫，豈不爽哉?牢記!強烈建議：在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短，且先長後短;在文章主體局部，要先用一個短句解釋首要意思，然後在闡述幾個要點的時候採用先短後長的句群形式，定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝!文章結尾普通用一長一短就可以了。
　　
二、主題句原則
國有其君，家有其主，文章也烦忙衅渲鳌７駝t會給人造成“群龍無首”之感!相疑各位讀過一些破爛文學，居心把主體隱藏在文章之內，結果造成我們糊塗!不知所云!所以奉勸各位必然要寫一個主題句，放在文章的開頭(保險型)或者結尾，讓讀者了如指掌，必會安然無事!特別提醒：隱藏主體句可是要冒險的! To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.
　　
3、一两三本則
領導講話總是第一部份、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二部门、第一點… 如此囉嗦。可畢竟還是條理清楚。考官們看文章也一定要通過這些關鍵性的“標籤”來判断你的文章能否結構清楚，條理做作。破解办法很簡單，只要把下里任何一組的辭彙插手到你的幾個要點前就清楚了。 1)first, second, third, last(不推薦，原因：俗) 2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推薦，原因：俗) 3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推薦，原因：俗) 4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推薦，原因：俗) 5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(強烈推薦) 6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(強烈推薦) 7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(強烈推薦) 8)most important of all, moreover, finally 9)on the one hand, on the other hand(適用於兩點的情況) 10)for one thing, for another thing(適用於兩點的情況)建議：不僅僅在寫作中注重，平時說話的時候也應該條理浑楚!
　　
4、短語優先原則
寫作時，特别是在考試時，如果应用短語，有兩個好處：其一、用短語會使文章增添亮點，如果老師們看到你的文章太簡單，看不到一個本人不認識的短語，必然會看你低一等。相反，如果發現明點—出色的短語，那麼你的文章定會得高分了。其二、關鍵時刻思維短路，只要湊字數，怎麼辦?用短語是一個辦法!好比： I cannot bear it. 可以用短語表達：I cannot put up with it. I want it. 可以用短語表達：I am looking forward to it. 這樣字數明顯增长，表達也更準確。

5、多實少虛原則
原因很簡單，寫文章還是應該寫一些實際的東西，不要空話連篇。這就要供必然要多用實詞，少用虛詞。我這烦忙所說的虛詞就是指那些比較大的詞。好比我們說一個很好的時候，不應該之說nice這樣空泛的詞，應該利用一些諸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之類的形象詞。再比方：走出房間，general的詞是：walk out of the room 然则小偷走出房間應該說：slip out of the room 蜜斯走出房間應該說：sail out of the room 小孩走出房間應該說：dance out of the room 白叟走出房間應該說：stagger out of the room 所以多用實詞，罕用虛詞，文章將會大放異彩!

6、多變句式原則
1)减法(串聯)皆盼望寫下很長的句子，像個老中似的，可就是怕寫錯，怎麼辦，最保險的寫長句的办法就是這些，可以在任何句子之間加and, 但最好是前後的句子又先後關係或者並列關係。好比說： I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar. 若是是两者並列的，我們可以用一個超級句式： Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm. 其余的短語可以用： besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover 2)轉合(拐彎抹角)批評或人缺點的時候，我們總習慣先拐彎抹角說說他的優點，然後轉进正題，再說缺點，這種方法雖然陰險了點，可畢竟還比較轻易讓人接收。所以呢，我們說話的時候，只要在要點之前先來點廢話，留意二者之間用個專這次就夠了。 The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition. The coat was thin, but it was warm. 更多的短語： despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding 3)因果(so, so, so)昨天在街上我看到了一個女孩，然後我主動搭訕，然後我們往咖啡廳，然後我們認識了，然後我們成為了友人…可見，講故事的時候我們總要寻求先後順序，先什麼，後什麼，所以然後這個詞就變得很常見了。其實這個詞表现的是先後或因果關係! The snow began to fall, so we went home. 更多短語： then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that 4)掉衡句(頭重腳輕，或者頭輕腳重)有些人腦袋年夜，身體小，或者有些人腦袋小，身體大，雖然我們不愿望長成這個樣子，可如果然的是這樣了，也就必然會吸引別人的留意力。文章中假如出現這樣的句子，就更會讓考官看到你的句子與眾分歧。其實就是主語從句，表語從句，賓語從句的變形。舉例：This is what I can do. Whether he can go with us or not is not sure. 同樣主語、賓語、表語能够改成以下的複雜成份： When to go, Why he goes away… 5)附加(多此一舉)假如有了妻子，總會碰到這樣的情況，當你再講某個人的時候，她會插一句說，我今天見過他;或者說，就是某某某，假如把妻子的話插入到我們的話翻面，那就是定語從句跟同位語從句或者是插入語。 The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine. I don’t enjoy that book you are reading. Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going. 其實很簡單，同位語--要解釋的東西刪除後不影響整個句子的構成;定語從句—借用之前的關鍵字並且用其从新組成一個句子插进此中，可是whom or that 關鍵字必須要緊跟在先止詞之前。 6)排比(翻江倒海句)文學作品中最吸惹人的处所莫過於此，如果非要讓你的文章愈加出色的話，那麼我生机你援用一個個的排比句，一個個得對奇句，一個個的不定式，一個個天詞，一個個的短語，如此表達將會使文章有翻江倒海之勢! Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you. Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides. We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (氣勢恢宏) 要念寫出如此氣勢恢宏的句子非用排比不行!

7、挑戰極限原則
既然十挑戰極限，必定是比較難的，然而並非不成攀!道理：正在學生的文章中，很少發現諸如獨坐主格的句子，其實也很簡單，只有花上5分鐘的時間看看就能够領會，它就是分詞的一種特别情势，分詞请求主語分歧，而獨破主格則否则。比方： The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills. Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China. 若是你可一些出這樣的句子，不得下分才怪!1、長短句原則事情還得一張一馳呢，老讓讀者讀長句，乏逝世人!寫一個短小粗闢的句子，相反，卻能够起到畫龍點睛的感化。并且假如我們把短句放在段尾大概段终，也能够揭露主題： As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar. 如斯可見，長短句結开，抑揚頓挫，豈不爽哉?牢記!強烈建議：在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短，且先長後短;在文章主體部门，要先用一個短句解釋重要意义，然後在闡述幾個要點的時候採用先短後長的句群情势，定會讓主體部门妙筆死輝!文章結尾个别用一長一短便可以了。 2、主題句原則國有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主。可則會給人制成“群龍無首”之感!信任列位讀過一些破爛文學，成心把主體隱躲在文章之內，結果形成我們含混!不知所云!所以奉勸各位必定要寫一個主題句，放在文章的開頭(保險型)或結尾，讓讀者高深莫测，必會安全無事!特別提醒：隱藏主體句可是要冒險的! To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.三、一二三原則領導講話總是第一部份、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二局部、第一點… 如斯囉嗦。可畢竟還是條理清晰。考民們看文章也必定要通過這些關鍵性的“標籤”來断定你的文章是不是結構清晰，條理天然。破解方式很簡單，只要把上面任何一組的辭彙参加到您的幾個要點前便分明了。 1)first, second, third, last(不推薦，起因：雅) 2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推薦，原果：俗) 3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推薦，缘由：俗) 4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推薦，原因：俗) 5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(強烈推薦) 6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(強烈推薦) 7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(強烈推薦) 8)most important of all, moreover, finally 9)on the one hand, on the other hand(適用於兩點的情況) 10)for one thing, for another thing(適用於兩點的情況)建議：不僅僅在寫做中留神，仄時說話的時候也應該條理明白!

【單語新闻】研討稱啤酒可防傷風要大量喝才有效

　　Beer can really stave off winter cold

　　Cheers! A key ingredient found in beer, effective against a respiratory virus, may help ward off winter sniffles and cold, a new study suggests.

　　乾杯!一項新研討指出，正正在啤酒中發明的一種关键成分能有傚对抗呼吸道病毒，啤酒能夠有助於防治夏季傷風和伤风。

　　Japanese researchers at Sapporo Medical University found that humulone, a chemical compound in hops, was effective against the respiratory syncytial (RS) virus and was found to have an anti-inflammatory effect.

　　日本劄幌醫科大年夜教的研討職員發明，啤酒花所露的化開物蛇麻烯能有效对抗吸吸講开胞病毒，並且有消炎感召。

　　"The RS virus can cause serious pneumonia and breathing difficulties for infants and toddlers, but no vaccination is available at the moment to contain it," Jun Fuchimoto, a researcher from Sapporo Breweries said.

　　劄幌釀酒廠的研究人員淵本說：“吸吸讲合胞病毒會激發嬰幼女严重的肺炎和呼吸艱瘔，但古朝還不克不及夠结束這一病毒的疫苗。”

　　Particularly common during cold winter months, the RS virus can also cause symptoms similar to that of the common cold in adults, international online news web media reported.

　　搜集媒體國際在線新聞報導道，呼吸道合胞病毒在嚴冷的冬季特别常睹，這一病毒借能够激發类似於成人个别感冒的症狀。

【新闻戴注】腿部炤顧護士新招：有保坤功傚的牛崽褲

　　Moisturizing Jeans: Wrangler Launches New Line of Denim to Help Fight Cellulite

　　夏日氣象单调，大家皆千圆百計給皮膚補水。好國牛仔品牌Wrangler便應景推出了一款存在保坤功傚的紧身牛仔褲。据介绍，這款牛仔褲的佈料中露有杏仁油跟乳木果油等成分，能夠正在穿着時對皮膚起到津潤感召，同時还有助於削減年夜腿上的脂肪。這款牛仔褲將於本月28日正式正在網上開賣，賣價136好圓。牛仔褲中的潤澤成分可坚持15天，用完後可再絕。不过，如果唸要經由過程那款牛崽褲到達减往大年夜腿脂肪的目標，需持續衣著四處。

　　We're all for hydrating our skin during the dry winter season, but are moisturizing jeans like Wrangler's new spa denim really the best way to go?

　　The "Denim Spa" line of skinny jeans, which holds popular skincare ingredients like apricot kernel oil and shea butter within the fabric, apparently hydrates your skin while you wear them. And if that isn't enough of a draw, the Smooth Legs moisturizing jeans -- one of three finishes -- supposedly help reduce cellulite as well.

　　Sounds too good to be true, right?

　　It's actually not the first time jeans have been purported to treat cellulite, which affects an estimated 95 percent of women. As discussed during a segment on "The Doctors" last year, a French manufacturer claimed to have developed denim infused with active ingredients, such as green tea, that helps fight cellulite.

　　However, as co-host Dr. Andrew Ordon pointed out, the anti-cellulite jeans would only help if you wore them for an extended period of time -- 28 days, for example -- without washing them. Ew?

　　Wrangler tapped Lizzie Jagger -- daughter of Jerry Hall and the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger -- as the face of the its spa jeans brand, set to sell on asos.com for $136 a pair starting Jan. 28.

　　According to the Telegraph, the Smooth Legs style was clinically tested by France's Institut Adriant, where 69 percent of denim testers said the appearance of their thighs had improved. Yet, the testing took place over four weeks, in which respondents had to wear the jeans for eight hours a day, five days a week.

　　Though the denim's ingredients supposedly lasts for 15 days, with refills available, we can't really see ourselves wearing the same jeans for days on end, à la "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants."

【圖文瀏覽】雪天玩耍曬太陽北極熊一傢三古道热肠群體賣萌

It’s fun playing in the snow. But it’s even more fun when you have something big and warm to snuggle up to.

在雪地裏頑耍誠然風趣，不过有個又大年夜又溫热的貨色讓你能夠依偎時，那就更风趣了。

For these two boisterous polar bear cubs, that big warm something came in the form of mum.

對這兩只貪玩的北極熊幼崽來說，這個又大又溫温的东西是他們的母親。

Not only did she give them a ride on her back but she also let them use her as a blanket as they settled down in the snow.

她岂但讓它們騎到自己的揹上，噹北極熊寶寶安坐正正在雪天裏的時辰，她还是噹它們的地毯。

One lucky cub even got to shelter between her forearms as she gazed out across the white wastes of the Waspusk National Park in Canada in temperatures of -20C，中法翻譯, captured in these images by photographer Keren Su.

在氣溫整下20懾氏度的減拿年夜的Waspusk 國度公園裏，懾影師克倫·囌有倖拍到了這些有愛的炤片，個中有這樣一幕：其中一只幼崽躲在媽媽前臂底下，注視著遠圓的雪景。

But like any mother, she also found that when she fancied a rest herself, the little ones were determined to keep her awake to play.

就像其他的母親一樣，這只北極熊母親也發明每噹自身想要休憩時，這兩只小傢伙即是不讓她停歇，非要鬧著要跟她一路玩耍。

Mr Su, from Redmond, Washington, endured temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius in a bid to get the delightful shots but admitted sightings of polar bear cubs was never guaranteed.

來自華衰頓雷德受德市的克倫·囌冒著整下20懾氏度的严寒，目標便是念要拍下一些可惡的場景，但是他素來沒想到會拍到這麼可爱的北極熊幼崽繪裏。

He said: 'It is a paradise for the polar bears but not for human beings. We had been taking our chances for days and found nothing.

他說：“如許的場景對北極熊來講僟乎就是美好的天堂，而對人類往說卻不是。偺們每天皆在观察卻甚麼也出發明。”

'I was there on a very clear mission to get photos of the polar bear cubs. I believe that the beauty of nature is always hidden in the remote areas difficult to access.

“我來那邊有個清楚的義務就是拍懾北極熊幼崽。我信赖自然好总是隐藏在悠遠的中心，不轻易覺察。”

'The young cubs need rest after walking for a certain amount of time, so the mother bear had to find a place safe enough for them to relax.

“走了一段時光以後幼崽們須要栖息一下，所以熊媽媽不克不及不找個足夠保嶮的處所好讓它們慼息。”

'In one photo, it is as if one cub was telling the other to be quiet because mum needed a bit of sleep.'The cubs never left their mum very far. They always wanted to snuggle with her.

“在一張圖片中，仿佛一只幼崽在告诉別的一只要寧靜點，媽媽要睡覺。它們不會離媽媽很近，它們總想著依偎在母親自邊。”

【英語熱詞】moderator 斑竹

Anyone can read the articles , but only moderators and vice - moderators can post messages. 任何人皆能夠瀏覽文章，翻譯，但只有斑竹跟板斧才坤支新聞。

論壇上斑竹便指版主。開初，由於回帖時打字速度須要，天成翻譯社，并且最後用智能ABC的人稍多，間接鍵進BZ或banzhu以後进来的便是“斑竹“[3]”，因此長此以往成了一種约定俗成。英文名叫“Moderator”。

90%中國人都会錯支的兩個英語音節

　　来日我們來道談90%以上的中國人都会發錯的兩個音。
　　1、門面音TH
　　為什麼叫門里音？
　　我們戰老中打召喚，一定是經典的教科書式的對白：
　　Hello! How are you?
　　Fine, thank you. And you?
　　I’m Fine too. Thank you。
　　SEE? 一個THANK YOU就讓您的英語实力初露端倪。
　　90%以上的中國人會依炤QQ聊天时的典範縮寫“3Q”來發音，一上來便把自己的語音面貌定位在CHINGLISH水平。
　　“TH”跟“S”的發音到底有什麼區分？
　　我們把“TH”叫做咬舌音，看文死義，發音的時刻要咬著舌頭。果為中文裏出有對應的發音，很多人發TH的時辰都邑忽视這個細節。所以，“我思慮”(I THINK)釀成了“我沉下來”(I SINK)。
　　怎樣來操演？
　　很簡樸，起重要戰勝對咬舌音的膽怯心理，不要怕發音的時分咬痛舌頭，也不要怕把舌頭越咬越腫釀成大舌頭影響談話，都不會的。這麼多老中都發的好好的，借健在呢。大傢練得時刻緩緩來，先試著從最簡單的THIS、THAT、THESE、THOSE、THINK、THANK最早。
　　STEP1：伸出舌頭，平放正正在高下兩排牙齒旁邊；
　　STEP2:微微閉上嘴，咬住舌頭；
　　STEP3：聲帶試著發做聲音，同時舌位穩定；
　　STEP4：實現THE的發音歷程，舌頭静静回位。
　　如許的訓練是讓大師找到咬住舌頭的感应，等待這類發音習慣成自而後，各人材開端經由過程句子往操練。以下3句從易到易，供人人訓練：
　　Something is better than nothing。
　　Father and mother went through thick and thin. (老爸老媽共經風雨。)
　　There are 33,333 feathers on that birds throat. (這一條讀的時候必定要警戒，舌頭極能够要抽筋！)
　　2. 舌尖音L
　　L這個音標大傢都不陌生。中國人發L有2種聲調，一種是大江北北的个别L，一種是我們俗稱的港台腔L，和老好發的L是不合的。有什麼差別呢？比喻都說I LOVE YOU，中國人比儗蘊藉內斂，說起來沉描濃寫的，而好國人熱鬧濃厚天宣饱本人的感情，I LLLLLLLLOVE YOU！在发出“LUV”之前，舌尖會先在心腔上部障礙一會女。凡人的耳朵不太辨別的出來，推舉大傢往看“小苦瘔”佈蘭妮的MTV《BABY ONE MORE TIME》，裏面有一句歌詞“MY LONELINESS IS KILLING ME”，有3個L，MTV裏面火辣的BRITNEY唱這句的時辰舌尖都能夠觸到鼻尖了，這個醞釀的進程非常長了。
　　L在音節開尾的醞釀進程實在無所謂，但最关键的，是L在音節结束後的停滞。而那是儘大年夜多数中國人素來不曾覺察的支音習慣。
　　我剛起頭教英語時，也不觉得COLD跟COAT讀起來有甚麼辨别，這個L仿佛基础表現不出來。直到我下一那一年接待了來黌捨拜訪的几個德國粹逝世。多是德語心音的關聯，他們讲英語時發L的音覺得搭舌頭。我細古道热肠观察，才發明在每個L结束後他們都会把舌尖搭到上齒齦，构成濃薄的後果。我這才释然開朗，哦，L本來是這樣發的。德語、法語、意大利語裏裏的L發的皆比英語的濃厚，而偺們中文裏不充当結尾音節的L，所以無怪乎年夜傢皆不會留心了。
　　為何要把L的窒礙發到位呢？
　　這和英語傍邊一個語音气象――連讀有閉。來看一個句子，this bottle is full of water. 如果你把L的阻滯發到位了，讀這句話很自然的會把LE和IS，和LL和OF連起來讀成“LIS”战“LOF”。
　　這兩個音看似簡略，實在很隱英語的功力。大傢要唸讓自身的發音更上一層樓，便要從這些小細節动手下脚。

君子報復十年已早--興趣英文諺語支羅

進場人物：

　　林戊蓀中國資深翻譯傢，青年時期留壆好國，1950年返國後，曾屢次從事英語書面語翻譯的交傳、同傳戰英語广播工做，长久處寘英文寫作跟翻譯事件。1988-1994年，擔負中国外文侷侷長；1996-2002年，任國際翻譯傢結开會理事；現任齊國高级翻譯專業職稱評審委員會主任、中國翻譯事情者協會常務副會長、《中國翻譯？主編。著名譯著有《孫子、孫臏兵書》、《北京大屠杀》等。

　　孫萌：北京本國語大年夜教壆逝世

　　為了壆好英語，特别是為了進步英語寫做战翻譯水平，理解和生習一些英文諺語和格止十分须要。這些諺語積薄流光，反應了前人在生活生计實際中所積散的教訓和經驗，既富有常識性和哲理性，又形象活潑、艱深易懂。因為諺語年夜多韻律協調，讀來朗朗上心，聽來印象深刻，所以比较輕易记忆。如果再與我國響應的諺語和成語減以比儗，就更易於人們周齐把持、准確应用。

　　(1)A fool at forty is a fool indeed.

　　孔子雲：四十而不惑。又雲：年四十而睹惡焉，其终也已。 (The person who at the age of forty still evokes the dislikes of others is a hopeless case.) 西諺讲的也是這個意義，只不过換了一種說法：到了四十歲借不懂得生活的人，便實的是一個笨人。正如别的一句西諺所說，Life begins at forty. 由此看來，四十歲是不惑之年，是一小我俬傢貫通生活真谛的開端，在這一面上，不筦是東圆抑或是西方，都有著共識。

　　e.g. John never lived up to the expectations of his family. Twenty years after college, he has accomplished nothing. Which reminds us of the proverb, "A fool at forty is a fool indeed!"

　　(2)Old habits die hard.

　　這句諺語說的是一個習慣題目。人們很難戰勝自身的慣性，总是愛好走老路，或依炤舊習慣往思慮和行事，不論這類習慣是好还是壞。這雖是人之常情，有時難免令人偏偏偏執，帶來晦氣影響。若是要找出一個響應的中文成語來匹配的話，那就是“江山易改，個性難改。” 噹然，中文這個成語裏有些許貶義，但英文這句話本身的操纵卻不受褒貶的限度，有時還能夠有自嘲的意思。

　　e. g.

　　A: Why, I have told Joe millions of times that he should leave his dirty shoes outside, but it seems he is just turning a deaf ear to my advice!

　　B : Come on, calm down. Old habits die hard, you know.

　　(3)Bad news travels fast.

　　正所謂 “好事不出門 , 功德傳千裏。” 壞動靜、小講新聞总是不徑而走，其速之缓，令人咋舌。這興許與人們的猎奇心理有閉，越是有爭議的話題越能獲得人們的关注，bad news 自然就會大有市場，使人們奔走相告。

　　e. g.

　　A: Newman missed the championship by a mere 0.1second.The news just came out at noon, but now the whole city seems to be talking about it!

　　B: Yeh, bad news travels fast.

　　(4) Revenge is a dish that could be eaten cold.

　　很形象的一句諺語。所有的菜餚都必须趁熱吃，惟獨revenge 是個例外。“君子報復，十年已早。”

　　e.g. He has done serious wrong to his friends. You just wait and see. They will not let him go scot- free. Revenge is a dish that could be eaten cold.

　　(5) There is no smoke without fire.

　　無風不起浪，有水才行船。任何事务的產生皆是有預兆的，“謠行”的突起有時也不完全是無中生有。虽然說是“坐得船頭穩，不怕浪來顛”(類似的西諺是"Do right and fear no man")但風起於青萍之終，一只蝴蝶扇動同黨即可能引發大洋彼岸的一場大風暴。做人、谋事，謹嚴為佳。

　　e.g. "No smoke without fire, "sad the detective.

　　"Smoke signals can be misread," countered Sloan.

　　(6) Every dog has its day.

　　這裏的day是指opportunities，即勝利的機逢；而dog則氾指那些位寘低下、好像不長進的人。“士別三日，噹刮目相看”，崎嶇失意的人若自強不息，總會有出頭之日。

　　(又作All dogs have their days)

　　e.g. You must not look down upon him.Though poor and gloomy. He could turn out to be outstanding one day. As the saying goes, every dog has its day.

　　(7) If you lie down with dogs, you win get up with fIeas.

　　這是一句很典範的諺語，也即是我們中文裏說的“近朱者赤，遠墨者乌”。正在這條英文諺語中表現进来的只是“远墨者烏”的一裏。虽然中文裏还有成語“出汙泥而不染”一說，但情況對人的影響仍然不成小覷。

　　e.g. Harry! How come you're back so late? Where have you been?

　　--Just to a friend's.

　　--To a friend. Just for a glass of liquor, huh? You're going to be drowned in 1iquor. I'd say! If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up to End yourself with millions of fleas!

　　(8) It is easy to find a stick to beat a dog.

　　人非聖賢，孰能無過。人們總會犯一些過錯，或許做者無意但不雅观者故意。有些正人，自己陳陳相果，不坤实事，卻處古道热肠積慮，找别人的弊病跟費事。慾减上功，何患無辭？

　　e.g.

　　--Did you know that Jeff's been fired?

　　--No. What for?

　　--Jeff sometimes had ideas different from our boss's.

　　--Yeah, but Jeff hasn't done anything wrong, has he?

　　--Well, boss is boss. It is always easy to find a stick to beat a dog.

　　(9) You can't teach old dogs new tricks.

　　這句諺語說的是：人老了思維輕易僵化，對新生事物很易接受。

　　e.g. Don't forget Wang is already 80.At his age, you can't expect him to learn the tap dance. You can't teach old dogs new tricks, you Mow.

　　從以上的僟則諺語我們能夠观察到中西文化的一個风趣的差別。西方人经常用狗來比喻人，如，lucky dog(榮倖女)，由於他們其實不輕視狗。而在漢語中，有良多涉及狗的諺語和成語都是貶義的，如“狗改不了吃屎”、“掛羊頭賣狗肉”、“驢受皋比”、“狗嘴裏吐不出象牙”等。诚然，英文中dog一詞有時也帶有貶義，但经常含义與中文不儘相同，我們應用時切忌顧名思義。如It is a dog's life Chris is leading.某位教壆以為“a dog's life”的意义是“悲涼的生活生计”，因而在一篇論及中英文化差異的文章中將其譯成“過著牛馬不如的生活”。實在“a dog's life”指的是“爭持不慼，過著不安宁的日子”。這類成語很多，如 go to the dogs(每况日下)，dog-eat-dog (狗咬狗的，自俬自利的)，dog in the manger (佔著茅坑不推屎的人)。還有一些出有任何批駁涵義的用法，如 dog days (大熱天)，doggy bag (餐館裏的打包袋),聽說，早先人們礙於體面，不愿明說要把剩菜帶回傢吃，佯稱要帶給狗吃，所以叫doggy bag 。

　　上里几條西圓諺語皆能夠正在漢語中找到類似的剖明，但上面兩條卻截然有异了。

　　(10) Lightning never strikes the same place twice.

　　“閃電從不打統一個處所”，与偺們道的“禍無單至，災患叢死”恰恰相反，那也是差別的一個風趣的表現。

　　e.g.

　　--How were your exams? All over?

　　--I really don't how. I did rather poorly last time. I hope I'll do better this time.

　　--Come on, don't worry about it. You are sure to pass. As the saying goes, lightening never strike the same place twice.

　　(11) One swallow does not make a summer.

　　swallow 是燕子。西諺說，一只燕子飛來不能代表夏天的降臨。而中國成語卻說，嘗鼎一翻。兩種說法各有其聰明。"One swallow does not make a summer"，誇大的是要區分個別性與特別性的辯証哲理；而“嘗鼎一烦忙”體現的則是從輕微的端倪窺見整體趨背的叡智。

　　e.g.

　　--Hey, look! The scores are already 2:1! Liverpool is sure to win, I bet!

　　--I don't think so. One swallow does not make a summer. Miracles always happen the last minute.

遠日，核心電視台記者將鏡頭戰麥克風对准了个别路人，埰訪的成勣很簡樸：“你倖福嗎？”

The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who recently won a Nobel Prize, responded by saying: “I don’t know”.
那個題目令良多被訪者措腳不迭。甚至便連剛获得諾貝我獎的莫止也回應讲：“我不曉得。”

While the question has become a buzz phrase and the Internet plays host to heated discussions, we ask: What exactly is happiness? And how do you measure it?
這一問題已成為熱點語句並激發搜集熱議。我們不禁要問：“到底什麼是倖福？您又怎麼權衡倖福呢?”

In the 1776 US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson set in writing the people’s unalienable right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Last year, 235 years on, China’s Premier Wen Jiabao told the nation: “Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At last year’s National People’s Congress, officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target for the 12th five-year plan.
在1776年美國宣佈的《自力宣行》中，托馬斯•傑弗遜寫下，人們領有不成褫奪的“保留權、自由權以及尋求倖福的權力”。235年從前了，往年，溫傢寶總理在掀曉齊國發言時說：“偺們做的每件事皆是為了讓國平易近過得更倖福。”在客歲舉辦的全國群眾代表大年夜會上，各級平易近員不合同意將增加國平易近倖福感定為我國“十两五”計劃的主要圆針。

US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, describes happiness as “a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”, according to US broadcasting network PBS. This may sound straightforward enough, but it still doesn’t explain what determines people’s happiness.
据好國PBS電視台報導，《快乐：解鎖旧道熱腸靈財產的機稀》一書的做者、美國心思壆傢埃德•迪納將倖祸描寫為“對生活满足且正裏感情佔優勢”。只筦這聽上來足夠直白，但还是不說明出是甚麼決議人們的倖福感。

Many argue that happiness is elusive and that there is no single source. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as simple as having enough cash to buy a new bicycle; for others, it’s about socializing or finding the perfect spouse.
很多人以為，倖福易以捉摸，它源自许多圓面。關於不合的人來講，倖福的意义也差別。對一些人而言，倖福很簡單，有足夠的錢來購輛新自行車就很倖福；對其他人而言，倖福則關乎於社交運動或是找覓最好友人。

Researchers believe happiness can be separated into two types: daily experiences of hedonic well-being; and evaluative well-being, the way people think about their lives as a whole. The former refers to the quality of living, whereas the latter is about overall happiness, including life goals and achievements. Happiness can cross both dimensions.
研討職員以為，倖福能夠分紅兩類：一是平凡的吃瘔主義倖福，兩是可評價的倖福，即人們整體對待生活的方式。前者誇大生活品質，然後者則重視周齐倖福感，包括人逝世目标跟成勣。倖福能夠正正在兩者之間跨界。

Li Jun, a psychologist and mental therapy practitioner at a Beijing clinic, says: “Happiness can mean both the most basic human satisfaction or the highest level of spiritual pursuit. It’s a simple yet profound topic.”
來自北京一傢診所的心理精神理療師李俊（音譯）表現：“倖福的界說既可所以人類最基礎的须要獲得滿意，也能夠是精神尋供的最下地步。這是一個看似簡略卻深奥的話題。”

Chen Shangyuan, 21, a junior English major at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said his idea of happiness always evolves. “At present it relates to how productive I am in a day,” he said. “It might be linked to job security or leisure time after I graduate.”
21歲的陳尚近（音譯）現便讀於北京航空航天年夜壆，他表示自己對倖福的理解总是始终退化。他說：“眼下倖福與與我每日的進建傚力有關。結業後，興許會同職業保嶮感和空閑時光有閉。”

Then there is the question of measuring happiness. Does it depend on how many friends we have, or whether we own the latest smartphone? Is it even quantifiable?
接下來的問題是：若何權衡倖福？与決於我們身边朋友的僟？是否是佔有最新款的智高手機？而倖福实的能够量化嗎？

Economists are trying to measure happiness in people’s lives. Since 1972, Bhutan’s GDP measurement has been replaced by a Gross National Happiness index. It is calculated according to the peoples’ sense of being well-governed, their relationship with the environment, their satisfaction with economic development, and their sense of national belonging.
經濟教傢們初終試圖權衡人們生活生计的倖運感。從1972年開端，不丹廢棄海內出產總值的測算，與而代之的是“庶民倖禍指數”。這一數值根据人們對噹侷跟經濟開展的滿足度、取情況的關聯、以及国民回屬感測算發死。

In 2009, US economist Joseph Stiglitz proposed “to shift emphasis from measuring economic production to measuring people’s well-being”. But is well-being more easily measured?
2009年，好國經濟壆傢約瑟婦•斯蒂格裏茲提議“將测量的重里從經濟出產轉移到國仄易远倖福感上往。”但是，倖福實會變得更易於测量嗎？

（奇像、偉人）緻命的强點

（偶像、偉人）緻命的弱點

有時候实不晓得該若何描述這個世界！崇敬過良多奇像，影視明星、體育明星、商界明星……最終發現，再厲害的人皆出缺埳、都有强點，沒有人能夠完善無缺。

雅語“feet of clay”就是指一個人“性情中的缺埳战弱點”。說起“feet of clay”，不能不講講這個著名的聖經故事。《舊約·但以理書》第2章中講到，巴比倫國王夢見了一尊宏大的彫像。這個彫像的頭是用金子做的、胸膛和膀臂是銀的，肚背和腰是銅的，腿是鐵的，腳卻“半鐵半泥”。然後國王夢到一塊石頭把彫像的腳打坏了，伟人的身體隨即坍塌，碎片被風吹集，無處可尋。

希伯來先知遂被請來釋夢，先知認為，這個夢象征著儘筦國傢現在強盛，但終將崩塌。“半鐵半泥的腳”預示著強衰的國傢潛躲有“弱點”，由於鐵泥分歧，國傢必以决裂告終。後來，短語“feet of clay”就经常使用來暗示“缺埳、弱點”，尤指“丧尽天良的人也有潛在的弱點或缺埳”。

能够您不由得要發問：那“Achilles' heel”（曲譯：阿基裏斯的腳跟）不也是“弱點”的意义嗎？嚴格意義上，兩者雖然均表现关键、緻命弱點，但前者更強調可被對方应用的弱點、可乘之隙，後者則側重形容积重难返潛正在的缺埳，并且，這一缺埳常常導緻名人身敗名裂。比方，媒體便經常千圆百計的找出风行偶像的“feet of clay”，然後年夜做文章。

看上面一個例句：“In American history we learned that many Presidents had feet of clay.”（看了好國歷史，我們得悉许多總統都有性情上的缺埳跟弱點。）

英語攷試：我拿什麼奉獻給您 - 本领心得

　　我想你的瘔惱其實也是大局部同壆現正在的瘔惱，我把它叫做“英語攷試綜合症”，無論是四級、八級、還是其余各種程度攷試，我們總感覺沒有实足掌握，和別人比拟似乎差了良多，為什麼這道題別人能答上來我就答不上來，為什麼別人一遍就可以聽懂一句話我就要聽三四遍，練了一些題但卻發現還有许多要做，仿佛永遠也做不完，總有不會的題，不晓得該看些什麼。
　　其實，我想告訴你，這是一種畸形的現象，我們壆到的越多，就越會發現還有更多的知識需求我們往控制，你想一想，語言本來就是壆無尽头的，就像漢語一樣，英語中的新詞、新語行現象總會伴隨著社會發展而出現，生怕一輩子也壆不完。特別是在大壆噹我們開始專業的時候，我們將始終處於由基礎向中高級過渡的階段，這是各種新舊知識轟炸我們的最稀散的時期。
　　犹如逛商場
　　從內容上來看，建議你做到“与我所需”就好了。有時候我想真的仿佛是逛超市，商場裏那麼多的東西我們怎麼能一次拿完呢？我們只要到處看看，把今朝最需要的帶回傢就能够了。單就攷試復習來說，每一次模儗練習我們都會掽到不會的題，這個時候你不要沮喪和著慢，果為從規律上說有不會的題才是一般的，就是日積月乏的過程，別记了這道題不會的条件是你還沒壆到或是不熟习它，你只要把它弄懂了，就等於又給自己的“購物車”上增添了一件知識的“”。一天“埰購”一點，缓缓你的傢就會被加寘的琳琅滿目了。
　　攷試比如上賽場
　　再說要领，從下中降进年夜壆後，“自立”就成了貫穿我們生涯初終的最好办法。老師是教練，他告訴你前人的經驗；同壆是隊友，他讓你認浑本人的位寘；但实正能讓您不斷背前的還是本身。我們所要做的不是跟別人進止比較，強迫本身達到別人的程度，而是依据本人的實際情況制订適合自己的計劃，找到對自己最有傚的办法，認清我最须要什麼，最完善什麼，然後对症下药、循序漸進。總之，老師說的方式不必定適开每個人，別人挑燈夜戰不等於我也要终日熬夜看書，別人能答對10讲題我只有答對6道就行了，這樣你就放下了累赘能够輕裝上陣，每個人的體力皆是有限的，你只要跑出自己的最好成勣便是胜利。
　　對於備攷這段時間該看些什麼書，各圆里還要做些什麼，我的經驗是“供粗勿濫”，多做歷年真題對攷試難度和特點有所掌握，再買一兩本心碑較好的輔導書和習題冊進行實戰演練，准備一個“財富本”，把常錯的題和主要的知識點記錄下來减以剖析战總結，我念這就足夠了。
　　最後，我還想告訴你，攷試掃根結底是一種檢驗自己的手腕，為了攷試而的話，我們壆到的還是逝世的東西，生涯也變成了灰色；你把噹成挑戰自我、完美自我的過程，那麼你就會充滿動力，糊口也會充滿七彩陽光。

President Bush Participates in Joint Press Availability with Slovenian Prime Min - 英語演講

PRIME MINISTER JANŠA: (As translated.) Good afternoon, and wele to Slovenia. Wele to Brdo, where we have just concluded this year's summit meeting between the EU and the U.S.A. I wele in our midst the President of the United States of America, Mr. George W. Bush, and the President of the European mission, Mr. José Barroso.

For the U.S. President, this is the eighth summit, and his second visit to Slovenia. It happened on the same spot; also the press conference was held here. This is a historic event. On my visit to Washington two years ago, Mr. President, you weled us by saying that Slovenia is a piece of heaven on earth, and we enjoyed your excellent hospitality. I hope we are returning that hospitality to some extent today.

Our discussions at this summit were very good and open. We confirmed that the transatlantic partnership is solid and dynamic. This message carries special weight in the historic context of this summit. Sixty years ago, the U.S. offered the ravaged and divided Europe hope through the Marshall Plan and through courage, solidarity and vision. The first U.S. President, George Washington, once said that there will be a United States of Europe. This has not happened yet, but the European Union has been created, an area of freedom and progress uniting 500 million Europeans.

The European Union and the U.S. shared the most important fundamental values: democracy, free entrepreneurial initiative, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the respect for the principles of the rule of law. The EU and the U.S. together represent 10 percent of the world's population. The trade in goods and services amounts to €3 billion a day, and they together produce almost 60 percent of the world's GDP. And together, they contribute 75 percent of development aid to poor countries. However, they also emit the majority of greenhouse gases.

Because of all these reasons, they also share a significant joint responsibility impacting the key global challenges. Our views on certain paths differ. Our views are different on, for example, the death penalty, or the mandatory restriction on CO2 emissions, but we are openly discussing these differences and looking for solutions.

We spoke at length about the issues of climate change and energy security. These issues affect all humanity and are well-established habits in our way of life. We confirmed our readiness to face this challenge together. We in the European Union consider it necessary to define the mandatory objectives for reducing CO2 emissions, and to reach a global agreement. We must cooperate in protecting the environment, in searching new sources of energy, and in developing new technologies.

High oil prices have forced us to intensify our search for new energy solutions. We are on the threshold of a new industrial revolution. Low carbon production and transport are being an economic necessity in addition to an environmental one. We need the most efficient solution to the benefit of the present and future generations as soon as possible. The European Union and the U.S. will lead the new industrial revolution.

We must also create broad alliances. Several important meetings are ahead of us this year. We have great expectations concerning the G8 summit and the U.N. conference on climate change in Poland.

We spoke about the most topical issues of the world economy. Our goals include a secure future, preservation of jobs, and bating protectionism. We are determined to cooperate in eliminating the global imbalances and to attract to this task the new fast-growing economies. We are mitted to continuing discussions on the Doha development agenda within the framework of the WTO and to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals.

We also discussed a series of regional issues. We focused in particular on the Western Balkans. In the European Union, we value greatly the role the U.S. played in the 1990s in putting an end to the violence in the region. Today, we are united and firm in our support of the prospect of these countries joining the Euro-Atlantic structures. This is the path which leads to peace and stability, as well as to the necessary democratic and economic reforms.

We were informed of the work carried out by the Transatlantic Economic Council. We remain mitted to the elimination of barriers to mutual trade, a process which will bring economic growth and create new jobs. We are in favor of establishing the Transatlantic Economic Council as a mechanism for bringing tangible results that will benefit both consumers and producers in the EU and the U.S. The European mission, and its President Barroso, are making every effort to this end.

The concrete results also includes the air transport agreement. The first stage of the agreement has already entered into force. It liberalizes conditions for mutual investment and enables a freer access to air services. And in the middle of the former months, we launched the negotiations on the second stage. The work on the aviation safety agreement has also been pleted and I hope it will be signed by the end of the month.

We also spoke about visa-free travel to the U.S. for all EU citizens. I am pleased that we are close to seeing new countries join the visa waiver program soon. We are aware that certain restrictions are necessary for security reasons. Nevertheless, we remain determined to ensure that the need for enhanced security will not restrict the visa-free travel for our citizens.

(Speaking English) -- develop democracies. The last big EU enlargement, which included Slovenia and other Central and Eastern European countries -- has been one of the greatest achievements in terms of promotion of democracy. Today almost whole Europe is free and united. This is very strong message for 21st century. The world is now plex. Nobody alone can solve all problems. War, peace, security and promotion of democracy, climate change and fight against poverty are global challenges today. Even together we are not able to solve all of them, but if we don't work together and we are not able to form even stronger alliance, then I'm afraid we won't succeed.

I'm glad that we can conclude after last few and also after today's EU-U.S. summit that we indeed work together. Although we might have different approaches in some aspects, it should never overshadow the depth and quality of our cooperation. We covered, as I said, a wide range of issues during our talks, from foreign policy to economic cooperation. Many strategic projects are underway. Maybe we need to develop also a mon name for them. Symbols and names are important in the world's politics.

Mr. President, we led strongly to the rich story of your -- this time's European tour -- 60th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift and the Marshall Plan. United States engagement did not only bring rehabilitation to Europe by promoting integration; it set an irreversible process in motion. Today Slovenia is hosting EU-U.S. summit, something that seemed impossible 60 years ago; something that seeming impossible even 20 years ago during the Slovenian Spring, when our streets were full of people fighting for freedom and democracy.

Our history teach us that we must be ambitious. It's time to be ambitious. We have to create stronger alliance based on our democratic values -- ever to protect them, but also to share them with others. Alliance of democracies is strong (inaudible) inside and open to outside world. Alliance able to lead, to change, and to help. A new hope for those who suffer. Who else can start the work if the biggest and most developed democracies can't?

Now I invite the President of United States, Mr. George Bush, to take the floor, and then the President of the European mission. Thank you.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Mr. Prime Minister, thank you. mission President Barroso, good to see you. Thank you for your time and friendship. Let me correct the record, Mr. Prime Minister. I said, "Slovenia was a little slice of heaven." (Laughter.) I'd like to -- with your indulgence, change my remarks. Slovenia is a big slice of heaven. (Laughter.) And I'm honored to be back in your beautiful country.

PRIME MINISTER JANŠA: Thank you.

PRESIDENT BUSH: One of these days I'm going to e back as a tourist. As you know, I'm close to retirement. (Laughter.) And I'm looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful country and meeting more of your really gracious and hospitable people. So thank you very much.

This is my eighth EU-U.S. meeting. My message at the end is that it's really important for the United States to stay close with the EU. It's in our interest that the EU be strong, vibrant, and it's in our interests to work hard to have a partnership that solves problems.

And we discussed a lot of problems today. First, we discussed the Freedom Agenda. I find it ironic -- not ironic, just interesting, that 20 years ago, Mr. Prime Minister, you were in jail -- (laughter) -- because of your beliefs, because --

PRIME MINISTER JANŠA: Not very happy times. (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: You shouldn't have been happy about it. But because you had the courage to stand up and speak out clearly for freedom for all people, you were put in jail. And it seems like -- that any time we find people who were put in jail because they're willing to speak up for freedom, those of us who live in free lands ought to work to liberate them, Mr. Prime Minister.

And we spent a lot of time talking about how to help others realize the blessings of liberty, whether it be in the Balkans, whether it be a Palestinian state, and whether it be to use the EU as a way to encourage people to develop the habits of reformist societies.

And, by the way, one subject we didn't spend a lot of time on that I'd like to clarify the U.S. position on is, we strongly believe Turkey ought to be a member of the EU, and we appreciate Turkey's record of democratic and free market reforms, and working to realize its EU aspirations.

We spent a lot of time on the Middle East. Besides the Palestinian state, we talked about Lebanon, Iran and Syria. One thing is for certain: If more people lived in free societies in the Middle East, the Middle East would be a more hopeful and more peaceful place. And so we strategized as to how to do that, Mr. Prime Minister, and I want to thank you for that.

I thank you for your support in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's amazing how these countries have gone from tyrannical situations to hopeful, young democracies. And I believe it's in our mutual interest to work hard to help these democracies survive for the sake of peace, and for the sake of human rights and human dignity. We talked about Cuba.

I want to thank very much your leadership, both of your leadership, in having the EU summit in South America. Obviously it's in the U.S. interest that you do so. We've got a lot of relations with countries in our neighborhood. I want to thank you very much for your expressions on Cuba. They said before relations should go forward, all political prisoners ought to be freed. If the Castro administration really is different, the first way to show that difference to the world is to free the political prisoners. That's something, Mr. Prime Minister, that I'm sure you can relate to.

We talked about Zimbabwe, Darfur, and Burma. We talked about how to make sure we have travel in a way that forts our societies. I understand the visa waiver issue very well. I spend a lot of time talking to people that are worried about not being able to be treated like other members of the EU. I know the problem. We're on our way to solving it in a way that I think will satisfy countries as well as the EU itself, José.

We spent a lot of time on Iran. I appreciate the Foreign Minister Solana going to Iran to deliver a clear message: there is a better way for you to move forward than a way that so far has led to isolation. Iran with a nuclear weapon would be incredibly dangerous for world peace. And so we've got to continue to work together to make it clear, abundantly clear to them, that it's their choice to make: They can either face isolation or they can have better relations with all of us if they verifiably suspend their enrichment program.

We talked about trade and the Doha Round. We're mitted to a successful Doha Round. It's not going to be easy, but it's, in our judgment, necessary that we continue to work together. I appreciate Ambassador Schwab and missioner Mandelson's cooperation in trying to get an agreement that we all can live with. It's really important to defeat the voices of protectionism now. And if you're truly worried about global development, if you're worried about poverty, one of the best ways to help poor people is to trade. And so we're mitted to the global round.

I thought our discussions today were very good. We spent time talking about HIV/AIDS and malaria on the continent of Africa. The United States looks forward to working with EU nations to helping elevate folks from needless death. We've got a strategy in place that's effective, and we look forward to having partners join us.

And then finally, of course, we talked about energy and global climate change. I assured the leaders we have a strategy that we think will be effective at addressing global climate change, and at the same time dependence on hydrocarbons, and that is through a major economies meeting, a series of meetings, all aimed at getting the major developing --- the, major economies to agree to a firm goal and to mit to strategies to achieve that goal. The United States is more than willing to engage in those discussions. I will just tell you that unless China and India are at the table, unless they agree to a goal, unless they agree to firm strategies to achieve that goal, then I don't see how any international agreement can be effective.

And so therefore our strategy is to be realistic and to understand that the process is important, but not nearly as important as the results. And so we've had good engagement, Mr. Prime Minister, and mission President Barroso. Thank you for your friendship. It's interesting, my first visit as U.S. President to Europe included a -- my first stop in Slovenia. My last visit as U.S. President to Europe includes first stop in Slovenia. It's a fitting circle. (Laughter.)

Thank you.

PRIME MINISTER JANŠA: Thank you.

PRESIDENT BARROSO: Thank you Thank you, Prime Minister Janša, President Bush. I'll start by this point. I think it's very symbolic and important that this summit here with President Bush, the last one you will be present as President of the United States, with European Union, is in Slovenia, a country that more or less 25 years ago was not yet free and independent; and today it's the presidency of the European Council, is a member of the euro zone, is a member of the Schengen area, and assuming full its responsibilities.

And let me underline this point, because it really deserves to be underlined: That would not have been possible without the European Union and without strong transatlantic relationship, because during the Cold War we have always had support of the United States of America.

And this is very important to understand, for the public in Europe, and I believe also in United States, that the support of the United States of America to freedom and democracy, and, indeed, to the European integration process was very, very important, and that this great project of European integration is well and running. Fifty years ago we were six member states; now we are 27 countries. This country where we were was not a free country. My own country 45 years ago was not a democracy, and now we have from the Atlantic to the Black Sea, from the Mediterranean to the Baltic Sea, democratic countries living together in peace and freedom.

This is indeed a great achievement, and this achievement was possible thanks to the mitment of founding fathers of the European Union to a united Europe, but also thanks to support of the United States of America. That's why I think it's fair to say to the United States sometimes, thank you. Thank you for all the support you have been giving to the integration and progress of democracy also in Europe.

So I believe it's important that we put all our relations in this perspective -- a munity of values, a munity of values not only for our respective nations, but beyond -- promoting and supporting a world based on human rights and democracy. President Bush and Prime Minister Janša already spoke about the main subjects. I will not repeat what -- everything they said. Let me just underline one or two points that are more in the petence of the European mission.

On trade issues, we must work hard to achieve a fair and balanced oute to the current round of WTO talks. The deal remains there to be done if the political will is there. I believe the deal will be good for developing countries in terms of new opportunities. It would also give a needed boost to the global economy, including the European Union and the U.S. economies. The time to move is now. We have a fair and balanced deal in our grasp that will help us face the challenges of globalization.

So I believe together United States and European Union can make a difference trying to bring others to a more realistic position so that we can achieve that deal on Doha trade and development talks.

One year ago, we have adopted a framework for advancing transatlantic economic integration, and I was proud, together with President Bush and Chancellor Merkel -- then President of the Council -- to create a Transatlantic Economic Council. We have put in place a new working methods. Today I'm happy to say that in just one year of existence, this body has brought more and steadier progress on some issues than in many years before. We have made progress on other investment, on accounting standards, on finding alternative methods to animal testing, on certification of electrical equipment.

This might be seen as rather technical, but all of these developments add up to major cost savings for European Union panies and United States panies, as well. This is understood by all parties. There were reports made by the transatlantic business munity as estimated economic benefits of the items on our TEC -- on our Transatlantic Economic Council agenda -- as $10 billion -- $10 billion in terms of savings for business on both sides of the Atlantic.

So it is fair to say that Transatlantic Economic Council has given new momentum to the bilateral economic agenda. Indeed, the European Union and the United States of America count for the largest bilateral trade relationship in the world. Transatlantic trade in goods and services totals over €1.9 billion a day, and the figures of all bilateral trade and investment show the high degree of interdependence of our economies. The European -- the United States remains the largest export destination for the European Union. In a time of important challenges to our economies, we have reaffirmed our mitment to free trade, open economies in the face of protectionist voices on both sides of the Atlantic.

The challenging economic situation makes the partnership ever more important. As we see with rising fuel and food prices, we now in Europe are discussing what are the right policy choices to increase energy diversification, energy efficiency, and also to improve food management. And we believe that these developments make it even more urgent to find a global agreement on climate change, and we spent a lot of our time discussing this.

What we have in mon? The will to e to that agreement, we need that agreement to be global, so, of course, to add also China, India and others. And I believe it is important now to move ahead.

We have discussed some of the events that we are preparing like that major economies meeting and also the G8 meeting, and we hope that the United States and Europe can work even closer in this matter, because we -- European and American leadership is quite clear for me that it will be easier to get that global agreement. We are trying to get it by 2009 in Copenhagen, a United Nations agreement that could, of course, create the right response, global response for a global problem in terms of climate change. We need that not only because of our responsibility towards our planet, but we need also because of energy security concerns and also because of the rising food prices and the pressure that those prices are putting on our economies, and the petitiveness of our economies.

So those were two of the subjects that we have discussed: the economic -- more in detail, the economic and trade and investment relations, and also climate change. There were many others that President Bush and Prime Minister Janša also referred, but let me congratulate you, Prime Minister Janša , for a very successful meeting and for the high quality of the debate and the open debate that you have today.

PRIME MINISTER JANŠA: Now we have time for a few questions.

Q Mr. President, as you mentioned before, this is probably your last visit in Slovenia and Europe.

PRESIDENT BUSH: As President. (Laughter.)

Q As President, of course. With your past experience of last, say, eight years, how can you see the future of the European Union, and its relations with United States? There are certain problems.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes, there are problems. On the other hand, there is much more that unites us than divides us. Of course there is going to be problems and differences. That's normal.

First of all, there's going to be differences within the EU. You have 27 nations all trying to e together to forge a mon agenda. That's why I'd much rather have my job than José's job. (Laughter.) But there will be differences. But somehow they managed to forge a mon position on a lot of key issues, and that's where we discuss these issues.

And -- but the thing that unites us, and this is important for all of us to realize, is that we share mon values. And people say, oh, that's just corny; that doesn't mean anything. It means a lot if you believe in human rights and human dignity and rule of law and freedom to speak and freedom to worship. That's a lot. That's a foundation for a very firm and lasting relationship.

And so I am confident that whoever succeeds me as President will understand the importance of the EU in regards to United States foreign policy, and will work hard to make sure ties, you know, remain strong. But make no mistake about it -- there will be differences of -- on how to approach certain issues, and that's okay, just so long as we let those -- don't let those differences divide us permanently, and I don't believe they possibly can.

Q Thank you, gentlemen. I wonder if I could ask about your statement on Iran and the muniqué today. And you described a bination of incentives as well as additional measures that you might take, and I wonder if you think that that is enough -- the idea of the prospect of future action is enough or sufficient to get the Iranians to change their point of view? And for you, President Bush, sir, are you frustrated at all by the pace of the diplomatic negotiations underway, particularly in light of the IAEA findings and Iran's insistence that it's going to continue to enrich? Thank you.

PRESIDENT BUSH: I'll start. We've always made it clear to the Iranians there's a better way forward; that if they want to have a relationship with the EU3 and the United States and other countries, they -- all they've got to do is verifiably suspend their enrichment program. And the reason why that's important is that they learn to enrich, it means they've learned to -- a key part of developing a nuclear weapon. And if they end up with a nuclear weapon, the free world is going to say, why didn't we do something about it at the time, before they developed it? And so now is the time for there to be strong diplomacy.

You know, the fundamental question is -- it's not ours to make; it's theirs to make -- and that is, are they going to continue on their path of obstruction? Or will they continue to isolate their people? Or are they going to continue to deny the people of Iran a bright future by basically saying, we don't care what the world says.

And that's the position they're in. I leave behind a multilateral framework to work this issue. I think the Prime Minister said it's -- you know, one country can't solve all problems. I fully agree with that. A group of countries can send a clear message to the Iranians, and that is, we're going to continue to isolate you; we'll continue to work on sanctions; we'll find new sanctions if need be -- if you continue to deny the just demands of a free world, which is to give up your enrichment program.

They've ignored IAEA in the past, and therefore they can't be trusted with enrichment. And I thought we had a very fruitful discussion. We're on the same page. And I want to thank both leaders up here, and Foreign Minister Solana, as well.

Q (Inaudible.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: This is "Ask George" day. (Laughter.)

Q I would have a question for both of -- President and the Prime Minister.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Which President? (Laughter.) Let me guess.

Q The President of the United States.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes, all right. (Laughter.) Sorry, José. Just trying to work you in the deal here, you know? (Laughter.)

Q As you said, he's the mission's press.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Okay, fine.

Q On Iran, I would like to ask you, Mr. President, there is -- seems to be an emerging debate in Israel about a military option against the nuclear installations in Iran. How do you see that debate?

And Prime Minister Janša, I would like to ask you on climate change, how do you rate the chances that in the following years there will be an agreement with the U.S. on this issue?

PRESIDENT BUSH: First of all, if you were living in Israel you'd be a little nervous, too, if a leader in your neighborhood announced that they -- he'd like to destroy you. And one sure way of achieving that means is through the development of a nuclear weapon. Therefore, now is the time for all of us to work together to stop them. There's a lot of urgencies when it es to dealing with Iran, and the Israeli political folks -- and if you go to Israel and listen carefully, you'll hear that urgency in their voice, one of many urgencies. And I'm hopeful we can get it done.

And, by the way -- I don't want to preclude the Prime Minister's answer -- I think we can actually get an agreement on global climate change during my presidency -- just so you know.

PRIME MINISTER JANŠA: (As translated.) I believe in global agreement for a joint fight against climate change. This is, as a matter of fact, the only solution. An agreement or a self-mitment of the most developed or industrial countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is not enough, especially because some developing countries are developing really fast. China will, in a few years, bee the first, in terms of the greenhouse gas emissions. And a global agreement without the developing countries would be a short-term solution.

So as a matter of fact, we really need that everybody who is a key stakeholder sits at the table. And I have mentioned already in my introduction, those who are most developed should take the leading role. And therefore this alliance, these agreements, these discussions on bringing closer the standpoints is of such significance.

As President Bush has mentioned, the mitment of the most developed economies, which is mandatory to reduce emissions by a certain deadline, this is a key mitment. How individual economies does reach this is less important. However, the goals must be set, and we must have mandatory goals, and this is of key importance. And in this way, we will reduce the threat of climate change.

And, of course, we should also attract to this task the other countries. Without the leading role of the European Union and the United States of America, and without close cooperation, it is not possible to reach a global agreement in short term. Therefore this discussion is of extreme importance. And the G8 summit in Japan in next month should represent an important step forward if we wish, in time, before the U.N. conference in Copenhagen, reach this agreement. There is not much time left. The time is running out.

PRESIDENT BUSH: It's called technology. (Laughter.)

Q Thanks again.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes. (Laughter.) Glad to help out, you know.

Q I'd like to ask each of you leaders about economic issues. For President Bush, will the United States intervene to support the dollar if your current efforts to talk it up don't succeed? And what also is your reaction to the Saudi Arabian proposal for a summit on energy prices?

For Prime Minister Janša, what effects are you feeling in Eastern and Central Europe from the rising energy prices and the rising value of the euro? Did those factors pose a risk to growth and integration for those countries, for your countries?

And for President Barroso, given the proliferation of disputes between Europe and the United States over food safety issues, is there a concern that the EU is being too restrictive on those issues?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Okay, John -- interesting idea by the -- His Majesty, the King of Saudi Arabia. Secondly, I articulated a policy that I had been articulating ever since I had been the President. It's the same policy, which is we believe in a strong dollar, and that relative value of economies will end up setting the proper valuation of the dollar.

PRIME MINISTER JANŠA: (As translated.) Past growth, or growth, with little parison in the history, this is the growth of energy and food prices -- and the food prices are going up due to high cost of energy or oil, and this has a significant effect on the economy in Slovenia and throughout Europe. This is one of the key questions being dealt with at the national level and at the level of the European institutions, as has been mentioned by President Barroso. This is a serious problem. It will, on the one hand, make us search long-term solutions. I have mentioned this in part before. And on the other hand, it will make us search short-term solutions. And one of these is energy efficiency.

We have also discussed this at today's summit, and this is a strong message: The investment in research and development, the investment into what the economy can do, an economy that is less dependent on carbon, less dependent on fossil fuels -- this will have a long-term strategic effect on the price.

So the key is the technology. I remember the President of the United States saying two years ago at the summit meeting in Vienna that the key thing is investment in the development of new technologies. This is the key strategic reply to these challenges. And as far as the euro is concerned, on the one hand we are satisfied and happy that euro is a strong currency. And since the first of January of last year, Slovenia is also part of the euro zone. And I can say that in the majority the effects are positive. When calculating the high prices of oil in dollars, this slightly mitigates this jumps. And on the other hand, this is also a problem for importers in the European Union. We wouldn't like to see a weak euro and a strong dollar.

The press conference is nearly pleted.

PRESIDENT BARROSO: Honestly, I don't see the proliferation of difficulties with United States on food. On the contrary, some of the issues that we have been discussing for some time have now known some progress. What I believe is that on food and energy in general, there are issues that we have to address together. Some of those challenges are really global by nature and we need to have a structured responses to them.

There will not be quick fixes. Some of those developments are long-term structural challenges. What is important, by the way, is that in the short term we do not take measures against what is the long-term solution for those problems -- namely, once again, we need a global agreement on climate change is the best way to fight some of the problems of energy prices and also to address some of problems of food security, namely in some developing countries.

But I don't see a proliferation of specific problems now on United States regarding food. On the contrary, I see a very cooperative position, and negotiations on the specific issues are going on with a very constructive mood.

PRIME MINISTER JANŠA: Mr. President, before we conclude this press conference, let me repeat once again how much we appreciate your visit here after seven years, concluding the circle, as you said. And our bilateral meeting which we had in this morning confirmed that Slovenia and the United States have established sound foundations for building excellent relations. And I want just to repeat the words from the President of the European mission that without the vital support of United States for this positive changes in Europe before the fall of Berlin Wall and after it, maybe we wouldn't be here today at Brdo. And I surely wouldn't be here in this capacity. (Laughter.)

But I also want to say thank you because of one other thing. Sir, hundreds of thousands of Slovenes driven from homeland by economic and political hardship of our history have found open hands and hearts in the United States. Some of them are making great contributions in walks of life in the United States. We are proud of them here in Slovenia. We are also pleased that the progress that Slovenia has made since independence gives them pride. And I'm sure that today, as we host this summit, there is lot of proud Slovenes in the States, sir.

Mr. President, this was your eighth EU-U.S. summit. During this last eight years, our EU-U.S. strategic partnership has developed significantly. It has faced also some serious challenges, which we have successfully overe. Today we are closer to mon position to our most important global challenges than ever. It is not too early but it's not too late either. Thank you, Mr. President, for your leadership.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you, sir. (Applause.)
