  Glamour Glossary
  By Mitchell Kelly
  
  One of the best ways to express yourself is through your wardrobe. And because everyone is different, there are just as many different clothing styles and just as many fascinating words to go with them.
  In the world of high-fashion, one of the hottest words to look for is “edgy [潮爆的].” This means something is sharp, bold and innovative e.g. The winter collection was very edgy.
  Other interesting English words pop up when taking a closer look at different fashion styles.
  Goth[哥特式的]: Short for “gothic,” this style uses very dark colors to create a somber, almost creepy, mood.
  Vintage[复古的]: This style draws on trends from the past to give a very fresh, romantic feel.
  France is one of the world’s fashion capitals, so it is no surprise that a lot of French fashion vocabulary has entered the English language. Here is a quick lesson:
  Your look is very chic [时髦别致的]= You look stylish
  Green is in vogue[流行的,风行的] this season = Green is a very fashionable color at the moment
  This jacket is faux [人造的,假的]fur = It is made from fake fur
  Her choice of outfit is a big fashion faux pas [失礼]= She made a mistake with her outfit
  A big part of fashion is commenting on trends. If you are unsure how to compliment a friend or designer, a poll of online voters shows that “stunning[极漂亮的,令人晕倒的]” is the best word to use when describing an outfit. But there are plenty more to choose from: funky, fresh, trendy, sexy, breathtaking.
  Whichever way you choose to express yourself through fashion, chances are the English language has just the right word to describe it—if not, it’s bound to be created soon.

  NO.1
  P7 In order to grow, I must stretch beyond my comfort zone. (为了成长,我必须离开眼前的安逸。)
   感言: 猛地想起《士兵突击》中,许三多对成才说:“人不能太舒服了,太舒服了会出毛病”。“生于忧患,死于安逸”。我想忧患意识,大到对于一个国家的富强,一个民族的强大,小至对于一个人的成长都是极为重要的。
  
  NO.2
  P80 It started in around 1965 by a dedicated and intensified man called Bruce Lee. (这门功夫于1965年由一个具有献身精神而坚强的人所创立,他就是李小龙。)
  感言:直面最真实的本质,坦言一切。回想那个时候,李小龙前辈,不仅把中国的功夫带到了西方,同时也让世界看到了,一个华夏儿女的傲骨铮铮!
  
  NO.3
  P6 In this life I need to make my own magic, I must teach myself what I need to know. (在这一生中,我要创造自己的奇迹,我须教会自己所应知道的。)
  感言:人生短暂几春秋,不创奇迹不甘休。人活在世上就是为了学会生存、学会做人,更要力争成为一个有影响力,能创造奇迹的人。
  
  NO.4
  P102 You know, I have so many opportunities from this country, I just don’t want to see us fall backwards, No. (你们也知道,这个国家曾经给与我那么多机会,我就是不想看到我们倒退,不能这样。)
   感言:这就是个典型女强人的代表,2008年美国总统民主党强有力的竞争者,她坚韧执着,自信乐观,相信她最终能取得胜利, May God bless her!
  
  NO.5
  P4 Who can tell me if we have heaven? (谁能告诉我可有天堂?)
   感言:天堂何方,时间静谧,尘埃飘落。我们守侯着那份荒凉,终于看到银河彼岸那璀璨的星光。天堂到底在何方早已不再重要,它早已不是鲜花环绕、青鸟飞鸣。它只是我们心中那永恒的安逸。
  
  NO.6
  P53 sleek (光滑的,现代的)
  妙想:不时在一些时尚商品名称中看到这个词,例如某著名运动品牌 adidxx 的 Sleek 系列运动鞋。现在才知道原来这词有这样的意思,原文中是用来形容法拉利富现代感的厂房和车型的,然而用来做运动鞋名称也挺贴切的。把单词和生活用品连在一起,更便于加强记忆。
  
  NO.7
  P7 Change will come only when I completely accept how things are. (只有当我完全接受现实,改变才会出现。)
   感言:她的离去,我难以接受,终日打捞以前幸福的碎片。可她依旧不见,现在才知道打捞记忆只会流失现在的时间。或许我该接受现实,憧憬明天。
  
  NO.8
  P11 That’s not love, Jacks…That’s the flu. (杰克丝,那不是爱,那是流感。)
   感言:很简单的一句话,却一语中的,有些爱情来的让人目眩神迷,让人头脑发热,也让人兴奋到想要呕吐。但当一切的激情过后,剩下的恐怕只是流感一样的后遗症了!
  
  NO.9
  P92 bestow (给予,赐赠)
  妙想:这词的发音为“beast头”(兽头),兽头可以用来干啥?当然是用来供奉,当作献给仙人的礼物。
  
  NO.10
  P100 Relationships become easier when we understand our partner’s primary needs. (如果我们都明白对方的基本需求,那情感关系就会变得容易些。)
   感言:我们能从爱中成长,“要满足对方的要求,你就要学会让对方得到他(她)需要的爱”,我们要学着了解对方,学着洞察对方的需要,这是成长的必经之路。

不经典不推荐  《Zombie》是小红莓乐队(The Cranberries)最经典的歌曲。  The Cranberries被誉为爱尔兰音乐史上最伟大的另类摇滚乐队。长年饱受战乱之苦、本身又不屈不挠的独有民族性使爱尔兰音乐更具沧桑和悲壮。The Cranberries与同在这片土壤上孕育的U2乐队、Sinead O’Connor、R.E.M.乐队等一起,把爱尔兰音乐带向了世界。爱情、背叛、政治一

浮世绘(Ukiyo-e)是一种始兴于日本江户时代(1603-1867年)的绘画形式,在世界艺术史上意义非凡。浮世,原本来源于佛家用语,指与极乐净土相对应的人世间——众生在其中挣扎求生的浮华不真的世界。引申至日语中,浮生的深层含义是指人如船儿随风漂浮于世;但人们多用它的表面义——放纵自己的欲望去享乐的世界,不计前世与来生。所以浮世绘内容多是色彩艳丽的反映下层人们声色犬马的世俗生活画面。  佛家曰:“

自古以来,没有哪个城市像耶路撒冷那样被投注了那么多的信仰,也承载了那么多的悲伤。在希伯来语中,耶路撒冷意为“和平之城”,可是千百年来这里惟一缺少的却偏偏是和平。然而无论被战火摧毁多少次,它依然能一次次奇迹般重建,只因为这里凝聚着人类对一切美好的期盼,只因为这里是耶路撒冷,只因为它是因爱而生!    Within these walls lies a mystical city, an ancien
