每日一句:
She threw the coffee dregs into the sink.
她把咖啡渣子倒进水池里。
一个通常以复数形式出现的名词dregs，一般意义上的渣子，糟粕（the most undesirable part, often used
in the plural），应用范围比较广泛；而另一个相近意思的复数名词lees，则多用来形容酒等饮料中的沉淀物，在这个意思上，这两个词的含义很类似。所以，还有一个固定的表达方式drink
to the dregs或drink to the lees，表示"喝尽，喝干"。
　　例句：
　　There are lees to every wine. (谚)凡酒都有酒渣; 没有十全十美的东西。

girlfriend a present in this coming valentine's day， but I have no

6.A mark of true nobility is,not to hold one's bead high,but to bear
oneself humbly in a high station of life. (英译汉)

每日习语:
Fat chance. Chance是机会的意思。
那么，fat chance从表面上来看应该是机会很多。可是不然。Fat chance是指机会很少，甚至根本没有机会。
我们来举一个例子。
My dear there is a fat chance Michael will be chosen by any director
at Hollywood. Look at him again. In the first place he's not the
handsomest boy in the neighborhood. Besides, don't forget he stutters!
这个爸爸还比较现实，他对他妻子说：亲爱的，麦克被好莱坞导演选中的机会是很少的。你再看看他，首先他并不是我们这一带最英俊的男孩，而且你别忘了，他还有口吃的毛病。

每天背诵:
Standing upright,
He is the highest mountain in the world;
Bending forward,
He is the strongest bridge in the world;
Falling down,
He is the widest road in the world;
But slopping,
He becomes the most dangerous cliff in the world.

挺起来，便是世界上最高的山；
躬起来，便是世界上最坚的桥；
倒下去，便是世界上最宽的路；
可一倾斜起来，
便成了世界上最险的悬崖。
