Perfect job
I’m lazy that I don’t want to lead a dog-eat-dog life in my future. Now days I have aroused something suddenly like somebody hit me. I mean that there is a picture which imagination for a long time is more and more clearly in front of me. Such as what should I do and how could I get the achievement approvingly. It’s a funny thing. You may know what the goal of your tomorrow which you should prepare for is, but you never do or do a little about it when you are young. And finally you find it’s time to achieve your destination but have not enough proper craftsmanship however, you are not a kid any more. This may be a rule of humanbing.
So I have to do something for my future that I could enjoy my life satisfactorily. It’s important for me to realize what my goal is and how to carry it out. Knowledge is never too much to me. And it’s why I want to have further education which may help me get a comfortable situation in future without any doubt.
I like economics increasingly. It’s like a light illumine my direction. This idea becomes stronger and stronger, and which like a storm going around fiercely in my head. Not matter what forms of social can go out of economy. And of cause there must be most opportunities exist in a developing fast county like China. Just like there is countless gold hidden in every place where you need to explore. But the first condition is learning enough knowledge to get permission of entering the gate of success.
I like a fixed life style that not to bear too works and needn’t have a mess time. I mean that I have an exactly time to on duty and off duty. I have a more leisure time to do something I like. Actually the perfect job is the teacher in university and officer in government in China. It’s maybe not exciting and more tedious but I like. Stable situation is a basic substance of life especially in China. So I can do my favorite thing at leisure. This is the culture and tradition from generation to generation in China, which have already became a custom in my bone. Karry/5/25/2007 8:09 PM

Wu-t'ai Shan

Wu-t'ai Shan is a good place where I planning to go to. Because there is famous of Buddhism in China and even has so many beautiful landscapes which I am desirous to. Climbing mountain is a wonderful sport I love to. I even remembered that I went to Diao Yu Tai last summer. There is a amazing beautiful place hidden in the middle between two mountains. I still saw the river flowing to the end of the apparent horizon on the road of one side of the mountain. Some haze above the water was changing the figure all the times. And also felt the wind blowing on my face with fresh air. Even I felt tired but more exciting. Maybe we could walk up along by the main road to the destination to save most of our energy and time, however, we chosen a deserted path in a spur-of-the-moment. Finally we found a ruined temple on the half of the mountain, and the worse thing was there was not any rout for me to go on. It was a hard thing for us to return the initial place on the same zigzag path. But it isn’t a interesting experience to enjoy a new way you never try to do? And now I begin to imagine I were in the Wu-t'ai Shan where has countless great mountains and magnificent temple. To myself there is a mysterious place I really thirst for going. I even want to get the blessing from the Buddha. And also bless for my family, relations, and frienfs. Actually I want to visit all kinds of places as many I could. But time is limited as a single problem I come back to face again. It’ a funny thing.

中餐菜名翻译技巧

中餐菜名翻译技巧
come from:www.abcxp.com

餐饮专业英语主要包括日常会话用语、烹饪技术用语和中餐英文菜单等等,而这其中尤以中餐英文菜单用得最为普遍。要将中餐菜单翻译成英文,就先得了解中餐菜名的构成及命名方法。中餐菜名通常由原料名称,烹制方法、菜肴的色香味形器、菜肴的创始人或发源地等构成。这种反映菜肴内容和特色的命名方法叫做写实性命名法,此外还有反映菜肴深刻含义的写意性命名法。
由于汉语和英语的差异很大,我们在把中餐菜名由中文译成英文的时候,应该采用写实性命名法,尽量将菜肴的原料、烹制方法、菜肴的味型等翻译出来,让客人一目了然。将以下几点"公式"(中英文对照)介绍如下,以供大家参考。
一、以主料开头的翻译方法 1、介绍菜肴的主料和辅料: 公式:主料(形状)+(with)辅料 例:杏仁鸡丁chicken cubes with almond 牛肉豆腐beef with bean curd 西红柿炒蛋Scrambled egg with tomato
2、介绍菜肴的主料和味汁: 公式:主料(形状)+(with,in)味汁 例:芥末鸭掌duck webs with mustard sauce 葱油鸡chicken in Scallion oil 米酒鱼卷fish rolls with rice wine
二、以烹制方法开头的翻译方法 1、介绍菜肴的烹法和主料: 公式:烹法+主料(形状) 例:软炸里脊soft-fried pork fillet 烤乳猪roast suckling pig 炒鳝片Stir-fried eel slices
2、介绍菜肴的烹法和主料、辅料 公式:烹法+主料(形状)+(with)辅料 仔姜烧鸡条braised chicken fillet with tender ginger
3、介绍菜肴的烹法、主料和味汁: 公式:烹法+主料(形状)+(with,in)味汁 例:红烧牛肉braised beef with brown sauce 鱼香肉丝fried shredded pork with Sweet and sour sauce 清炖猪蹄stewed pig hoof in clean soup
三、以形状或口感开头的翻译方法 1、介绍菜肴的形状(口感)和主料、辅料 公式:形状(口感)+主料+(with)辅料 例:芝麻酥鸡crisp chicken with sesame 陈皮兔丁diced rabbit with orange peel 时蔬鸡片sliced chicken with seasonal vegetables
2、介绍菜肴的口感、烹法和主料 公式:口感+烹法+主料 例:香酥排骨crisp fried spareribs 水煮嫩鱼tender stewed fish 香煎鸡块fragrant fried chicken
3、介绍菜肴的形状(口感)、主料和味汁 公式:形状(口感)+主料+(with)味汁 例:茄汁鱼片sliced fish with tomato sauce 椒麻鸡块cutlets chicken with hot pepper 黄酒脆皮虾仁crisp shrimps with rice wine sauce
四、以人名或地名开头的翻译方法 1、介绍菜肴的创始人(发源地)和主料 公式:人名(地名)+主料 例:麻婆豆腐Ma Po beancurd 四川水饺Sichuan boiled dumpling
2、介绍菜肴的创始人(发源地)、烹法和主料 公式:人名(地名)+烹法+主料 例:东坡煨肘DongPo stewed pork joint 北京烤鸭Roast Beijing Duck 在中餐菜名翻译成英文的过程中,可以采用多种不同的方法,而且每一道菜都可以从不同的角度入手进行翻译。例如,川菜中的"宫保鸡丁"这道菜就有以下几种译法: 1.sauteed chicken cubes with peanuts 2.Gongbao chicken cubes 3.diced chicken with chilli and peanuts
由此可见,中餐菜名的英译方法是灵活多变的。至于我们在翻译中应该采用哪种方法,可根据各人的习惯和具体情况确定。不过根据笔者的经验,只要掌握了第一种以主料开头的翻译方法,对其它种类的翻译方法便可以触类旁通,我们只需根据文中所列出的翻译公式去相应作一些交换就行了。

Where is my vacation

Where is my vacation
These days have a good weather, which is a good prefiguration for my vacation in the near future. I expect that I may have some enjoyment in this tour.
I don’t think I could bear so many tedious routine of school life that constantly contains going to class on time every day, eating the same milk-toast foods three times a day, reviewing the impenetrable text book every night. Yes, sometimes we need to relax, to change the fixed monotonous rhythm of our life. I always think we should add some color to our daily life.
We may carry out this bagatelle, however, we have not enough time usually. There are big obstacles of inconvenient threaten us when we have time like vacation. I also afraid too crowed people everywhere where I stay and the more higher price than usual. The noisy atmosphere could make you depressed indeed. But we have no choice.

Things you would like to change yourself

Things you would like to change yourself

Humankinds always have to face such-and-such problems no matter they willing or not in a certain situation of their life time. I mean that there may be some pressure by circumstance force you to adapt by changing yourself. You may burn the midnight oil for you recently examination in a short period, for instance, you may think it’s possible for you to change you situation which you may fail or even worse. Then you do it. And so it has your ability advanced though you may have not luck to pass the examination.
I have this idea that we are all seeking for a good life which make us happiness.So,of cause,we need to change something that may make a highly possibility for you to entry the door of blessedness.
We are not lucky persons, however, we can’t change ourselves in time ever or even can’t detect we need change urgently. In my personal experience, I dare have rarely courage change the currently situation which I faced, even I know how I need to change. We often see somebody had successful, and then they say “he was just gambly or he was lucky who just catched the opportunity. If I were he I may get the bigger successful than he.” It’s funny to think why we can not meet the same chance as him but ourselves. It’s easy to find out that the people who said he was luckily were not get the enough capability which will help themselves to find and grab the opportunity.
I have a strong feeling to change myself but not the situation. Because one person who just have only a little power couldn’t confront against the situation apparently. I admit some one like Washington, Lincoln, Martin Luther Kin etc. could change the situation by their big influence, but I couldn’t and most people couldn’t. So we have to change ourselves in a proper way to be adaptation.
The first important thing for us to change is proceeding not thinking. Things couldn’t be done by itself without participating in by sponsor. Doing it but ain't always stay in the first step of thinking who to actualize it. Then persevere in doing it no matter you face any obstacle which may make you come through frustration. You should hold on your faith which can be light illuminates the pass of you fate.
Then you could make it.

上海滩第一的哥——藏勤

come from:http://mxl19782002.spaces.live.com/default.aspx?_c02_owner=1

我要从徐家汇赶去机场,于是匆匆结束了一个会议,在美罗大厦前搜索出租车。一辆大众发现了我,非常专业的、径直的停在我的面前。这一停,于是有了后面的这个让我深感震撼的故事,象上了一堂生动的MBA案例课。为了忠实于这名出租车司机的原意,我凭记忆尽量重复他原来的话。

“去哪里……好的,机场。我在徐家汇就喜欢做美罗大厦的生意。这里我只做两个地方。美罗大厦,均瑶大厦。你知道吗?接到你之前,我在美罗大厦门口兜了两圈,终于被我看到你了!从写字楼里出来的,肯定去的不近~~~

“哦?你很有方法嘛!”我附和了一下。

“做出租车司机,也要用科学的方法。”他说。我一愣,顿时很有些兴趣“什么科学的方法?”

“要懂得统计。我做过精确的计算。我说给你听啊。我每天开17个小时的车,每小时成本34.5元……”

“怎么算出来的?”我追问。

“你算啊,我每天要交380元,油费大概210元左右。一天17小时,平均每小时固定成本22元,交给公司,平均每小时12.5元油费。这是不是就是34.5元?”,我有些惊讶。我打了10年的车,第一次听到有出租车司机这么计算成本。以前的司机都和我说,每公里成本0.3元,另外每天交多少钱之类的。

“成本是不能按公里算的,只能按时间算。你看,计价器有一个“检查”功能。你可以看到一天的详细记录。我做过数据分析,每次载客之间的空驶时间平均为7分钟。如果上来一个起步价,10元,大概要开10分钟。也就是每一个10元的客人要花17分钟的成本,就是9.8元。不赚钱啊!如果说做浦东、杭州、青浦的客人是吃饭,做10元的客人连吃菜都算不上,只能算是撒了些味精。”

强!这位师傅听上去真不象出租车司机,到象是一位成本核算师。“那你怎么办呢?”我更感兴趣了,继续问。看来去机场的路上还能学到新东西。

“千万不能被客户拉了满街跑。而是通过选择停车的地点,时间,和客户,主动地决定你要去的地方。”我非常惊讶,这听上去很有意思。“有人说做出租车司机是靠运气吃饭的职业。我以为不是。你要站在客户的位置上,从客户的角度去思考。”这句话听上去很专业,有点象很多商业管理培训老师说的“put yourself into others' shoes.

“给你举个例子,医院门口,一个拿着药的,一个拿着脸盆的,你带哪一个。”我想了想,说不知道。

“你要带那个拿脸盆的。一般人病小痛的到医院看一看,拿点药,不一定会去很远的医院。拿着脸盆打车的,那是出院的。住院哪有不死人的?今天二楼的谁死了,明天三楼又死了一个。从医院出来的人通常会有一种重获新生的感觉,重新认识生命的意义,健康才最重要。那天这个说:走,去青浦。眼睛都不眨一下。你说他会打车到人民广场,再去做青浦线吗?绝对不会!”

我不由得开始佩服。

“再给你举个例子。那天人民广场,三个人在前面招手。一个年轻女子,拿着小包,刚买完东西。还有一对青年男女,一看就是逛街的。第三个是个里面穿绒衬衫的,外面羽绒服的男子,拿着笔记本包。我看一个人只要3秒钟。我毫不犹豫地停在这个男子面前。这个男的上车后说:延安高架、南北高架~~~还没说后面就忍不住问,为什么你毫不犹豫地开到我面前?前面还有两个人,他们要是想上车,我也不好意思和他们抢。我回答说,中午的时候,还有十几分钟就1点了。那个女孩子是中午溜出来买东西的,估计公司很近;那对男女是游客,没拿什么东西,不会去很远;你是出去办事的,拿着笔记本包,一看就是公务。而且这个时候出去,估计应该不会近。那个男的就说,你说对了,去宝山。”

“那些在超市门口,地铁口打车,穿着睡衣的人可能去很远吗?可能去机场吗?机场也不会让她进啊。”

有道理!我越听越有意思。

“很多司机都抱怨,生意不好做啊,油价又涨了啊,都从别人身上找原因。我说,你永远从别人身上找原因,你永远不能提高。从自己身上找找看,问题出在哪里。”这话听起来好熟,好像是“如果你不能改变世界,就改变你自己”,或者Steven Corvey的“影响圈和关注圈”的翻版。“有一次,在南丹路一个人拦车,去田林。后来又有一次,一个人在南丹路拦车,还是去田林。我就问了,怎么你们从南丹路出来的人,很多都是去田林呢?人家说,在南丹路有一个公共汽车总站,我们都是坐公共汽车从浦东到这里,然后搭车去田林的。我恍然大悟。比如你看我们开过的这条路,没有写字楼,没有酒店,什么都没有,只有公共汽车站,站在这里拦车的多半都是刚下公共汽车的,再选择一条最短路经打车。在这里拦车的客户通常不会高于15元。”

“所以我说,态度决定一切!”我听十几个总裁讲过这句话,第一次听出租车司机这么说。

“要用科学的方法,统计学来做生意。天天等在地铁站口排队,怎么能赚到钱?每个月就赚500块钱怎么养活老婆孩子?这就是在谋杀啊!慢性谋杀你的全家。要用知识武装自己。学习知识可以把一个人变成聪明的人,一个聪明的人学习知识可以变成很聪明的人。一个很聪明的人学习知识,可以变成天才。”

“有一次一个人打车去火车站,问怎么走。他说这么这么走。我说慢,上高架,再这么这么走。他说,这就绕远了。我说,没关系,你经常走你有经验,你那么走50块,你按我的走法,等里程表50块了,我就翻表。你只给50快就好了,多的算我的。按你说的那么走要50分钟,我带你这么走只要25分钟。最后,按我的路走,多走了4公里,快了25分钟,我只收了50块。乘客很高兴,省了10元钱左右。这4公里对我来说就是1块多钱的油钱。我相当于用1元多钱买了25分钟。我刚才说了,我一小时的成本34.5块,我多合算啊!”

“在大众公司,一般一个司机34千,拿回家。做的好的大概5千左右。顶级的司机大概每月能有7000。全大众2万个司机,大概只有2-3个司机,万里挑一,每月能拿到8000以上。我就是这2-3个人中间的一个。而且很稳定,基本不会大的波动。”

太强了!到此为止,我越来越佩服这个出租车司机。

“我常常说我是一个快乐的车夫。有人说,你是因为赚的钱多,所以当然快乐。我对他们说,你们正好错了。是因为我有快乐、积极的心态,所以赚的钱多。”

说的多好啊!

“要懂得体味工作带给你的美。堵在人民广场的时候,很多司机抱怨,又堵车了!真是倒霉。千万不要这样,用心体会一下这个城市的美,外面有很多漂亮的女孩子经过,非常现代的高楼大厦,虽然买不起,但是却可以用欣赏的眼光去享受。开车去机场,看着两边的绿色,冬天是白色的,多美啊。再看看里程表,100多了,就更美了!每一样工作都有她美丽的地方,我们要懂得从工作中体会这种美丽。”

“我10年前是强生公司的总教练。8年前在公司作过三个不同部门的部门经理。后来我不干了,一个月就35千块,没意思。就主动来做司机。我愿意做一个快乐的车夫。哈哈哈哈。”

到了机场,我给他留了一张名片,说:“你有没有兴趣这个星期五,到我办公室,给微软的员工讲一讲你怎么开出租车的?你就当打着表,60公里一小时,你讲多久,我就付你多少钱。给我电话。”

我迫不及待的在飞机上记录下他这堂生动的MBA课。

勉旧知

勉旧知
昨夜西风瘦不停,
入梦匆还愁绪绵.
惊坐嗟叹恨无酒,
唯有明月遥相知.
