nee这个词怎么用啊

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

‘nee’:http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Anee 这个词怎么用啊。我看到他的上下文和女性婚前名根本没有关系。中文是什么。

bq. (meaning literally `born’) used to indicate the maiden or family name of a married woman; “Hillary Clinton nee Rodham” wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

bq. The French word née (feminine) or né (masculine) (or the English word nee) is still commonly used in some newspapers when mentioning the maiden name of a woman in engagement or wedding announcements. The word nee is also used to denote former names, (as opposed to birth names), and earlier names of inanimate entities such as companies and products. Né is the past participle of naître (to be born) and means born in the French language. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nee

我gogole一下nee希望能看到用法结果都是一些韩国一位叫nee的女明星自杀的消息和她的照片之类。

请大家帮忙。

it takes two to tango 的意思是 一个巴掌拍不想

听 louis armstrong 的老歌,有一首叫 it takes two to tango。

这首歌里,他是指这个词的字面意思

bq. Hey baby, how about this dance? Why? ’cause it takes two to do this dance!

Takes two to tango, two to tango,
two to really get the feeling of romance.
Lets do the tango, do the tango,
do the dance of love.

You can sail on a ship by yourself,
take a nap or a nip by yourself.
You can get into debt on your own,
ther's a lot of things that you can do alone!

But ...

Takes two to tango, two to tango,
two to really get the feeling of romance.
Lets do the tango, do the tango,
do the dance of love.

You can stare at the moon by yourself,
take a laugh like a loon by yourself,
spend a lot, go to pot on your own,
there's a lot of things that you can do alone!

But listen here...

Takes two to tango, two to tango,
two to really get the feeling of romance.
Lets do the tango, do the tango,
do the dance of love.

Ohh seeee...

但这个熟语还有一个巴掌拍不响的意思。

比如:

bq. “It takes two to tango” means that two people in a fight are both responsible for that fight. Example: “He hit me first; it wasn’t my fault!” Answer: “It takes two to tango.” Just like a dance between two lovers (the tango); one person might start the fight, but they both keep it going; it takes two [people] to [dance the] tango. Example: “Her husband is awful; they fight all the time.” Answer: “It takes two to tango.” A conflict is not the fault of just one person or the other; they are often both to blame, because it takes two to tango. http://www.goenglish.com/ItTakesTwoToTango.asp

speakeasy是什么地方

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Our Fine New York Watering Holes… By 1932, with a feeling that Prohibition was ending, Al Hirschfeld decided to use his artistic skill to document the various speakeasies around Manhattan. This is a first edition of Manhattan Oases, featuring thirty-six drawings of bartenders by Hirschfeld and a witty guide to “bars and beverages” by Gordan Kahn. http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/profile/?i...

猜猜什么意思。 我没猜到。

http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Aspeakea...

  • A nightclub which operated illegally during Prohibition. Many musicians found employment in speakeasies. www.jazzinamerica.org/l_glossary.asp

  • (during prohibition) an illegal barroom wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

  • SpeakEasy was a United States military project to use software defined radio technology to make it possible to communicate with over 10 different types of military radios from a single system. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeakEasy

想想也对。这里的easy应该是小声点的意思。因为当时美国在禁酒,所以你去这些非法酒馆自然邀轻声说话啦。

用书装饰房子是个好主意

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

真书,帮你挑选。

关键是 1 真书。 2 懂书的人帮你挑选 3 懂美术的人帮你设计摆放和挑选书的封面

国外有做这行的。就像卖橱柜一样,也是按米(长度单位)卖,所以叫 books by foot http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/bbtfoot/

如果你买橱柜是用料不同价格不同,这里价格随书的装桢(zhen1字怎么写?)不同,书的种类不同(如艺术类,历史类等)而便。

独立书店和设计师值得做这个事情。

有人想做这个事情么?可以说说。也可以联系我,我出些主意。也可以你真的要这么装饰,咱们找合适的人来实战。

canon law 是指教堂的规矩?正式说法是什么。

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

今天看一篇nytimes关于wikipedia编辑essjay的文章说他是expert on law of canon。我开始认为拼写错误呢。什么是law of canon啊?

查了一下,是我自己无知:

‘canon law’:http://www.google.com/search?q=define:canon+law

bq. he body of codified laws governing the affairs of a Christian church wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

bq. In Western culture, canon law is the law of the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. The Eastern Orthodox concept of canon law is similar to but not identical to the more legislative and juridical model of the West. In both traditions, a canon is a rule adopted by a council (From Greek kanon/κανον, for rule, standard, or measure); these canons formed the foundation of canon law. … en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_law

看到这个英文说法我脑海中立刻闪出光说不练这句俗话。我想这个俗语在英文中就可以这么表达吧。
