每天背诵:
We do not choose to be born.
We do not choose our parents.
We do not choose our historical epoch or the circumstances of our upbringing.
But we do choose how we shall live,honorably or dishonorably.

每日习语:
Fat cat. Fat是指"胖"，cat是指一只猫。Fat cat这两个字看来很简单，不是一只很肥的猫吗？不对。Fat
cat实际上是指人，是指那些很有钱、很成功的人。 我想，我们每个人都非常想当fat cat。 但是，当你成了fat
cat以后，总会有人妒忌你的。

每天名言:
Great thoughts come from the heart.--Vauvenar Gues
伟大的思想来源于内心。--------V.格斯

每天练习:
The tailor made a suit for the boy out of the odds and ends of the cloth.
Odds and ends意为"零星的东西；零碎的事情"。

每天一笑:
You stay put.
你不要走开。

每天谚语:
Few words, many deeds.
少说话，多做事。

每日一译:
1.我认为不会下雨。
I don't think it will rain．
2.不仅你而且你的妻子也对我很友好。
Your wife as well as you is friendly to me.
Not only you but also your wife is friendly to me.
as well as常用来连接两个并列的成分，作"也，还"解。它强调的是前一项，后一项只是顺便提及。因此连接并列主语时，谓语动词与前一项一致；而用not
only ...but also...连接时，谓语动词与后一项一致。
3.听到这个消息后，在场的人都面面相觑。
After hearing the news, all the men on the spot looked at each other
in surprise.
4.你什么时候来都行，不过最好先告诉我一声。
You may come at any time, only you had better let me know beforehand.
only用作并列连词,意为"但是;可是;可惜;不过"。
5.我们能够充分认识顾客真正的需求，并进行相应调整，使我们的服务达到甚至超出顾客预期。We're fully aware what our
customers really want and make (to) deliver to them the kind of
service that meets or even exceeds their expectation.
看这句话看了很久，一直在想一个问题"并进行相应调整"翻译体现在哪里了，最后才发现原来"make"这么简单的一个单词足以。
6.He that thinks his business below him will always be above his
business. (英译汉)自命大材小用，往往眼高手低。

每日一句:
What's going to be covered on the test?
考试的范围是什么?
　　使用动词cover，是最正确问考试范围的说法。另外，若是我们二人正讨论考试，例如一人说，"Are you ready for the
biological test tomorrow?"（你明天的生物考试准备好了吗？）你还可以说，"Not yet, but do you
know what's going to be on?"（还没有，你知道要考什么吗？）即，"be going to be
on"也是问考试的范围。
