宛如名醫華陀在世

在今天我想分享華陀的故事

  眾所皆知：華陀醫術高明，獲得崇隆的聲望！某天有人稱讚華陀醫術高超，能醫好那麼多疑難雜症，治癒那麼多人。但是，華陀說他有三兄弟，他的醫術不是最厲害的，最厲害的應該是他大哥，再來是二哥，他排第三。這人不禁懷疑的問為什麼呢？而且醫術最好的大哥反而沒人聽聞過他的名氣？華陀笑笑地說：大哥教人從一般生活飲食習慣做起，在未發生病徵前，就消弭於無形，身體強壯不會讓身體產生病痛，所以雖然沒名氣但醫術卻是最好的；而二哥，是在身體發生輕微病痛時便察覺到並即時處理，不會讓病痛變得嚴重；而華陀他自己呢？等到病情嚴重了，需要開刀等等大手術，因為這時候已經病入已經很擔心了，此時將他治好，當然會稱讚華陀醫術高超。

Colors of the wind-風之彩

Vanessa Williams-凡妮莎威廉斯

 You think I'm an ignorant savage

 And you've been so many places

 I guess it must be so

 But still I cannot see

 If the savage one is me

 How can there be so much that you don't know?

 You don't know ...

 

 You think you own whatever land you land on

 The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim

 But I know every rock and tree and creature

 Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

 

 You think the only people who are people

 Are the people who look and think like you

 But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger

 You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

 

 Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

 Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?

 Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?

 Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

 Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

 

 Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest

 Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth

 Come roll in all the riches all around you

 And for once, never wonder what they're worth

 

 The rainstorm and the river are my brothers

 The heron and the otter are my friends

 And we are all connected to each other

 In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

 

 How high will the sycamore grow?

 If you cut it down, then you'll never know

 And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

 

 For whether we are white or copper skinned

 We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains

 We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

 

 You can own the Earth and still

 All you'll own is Earth until

 You can paint with all the colors of the wind

 

 

你以為我是一個無知的人

 你足跡遍地

 我想是這樣

 但我看不到

 如果我是野蠻人

 你不知道的事情很多

 你不知道...

 你以為你擁有許多土地

 地球是靜態的任你使用

 但我知道每一塊岩石，樹木和動物

 有生命，有靈性，有名字

 你以為只有你一人

 有誰像你這樣

 如果你是一個陌生的腳步

 你學到，你永遠不知道

 你曾在月圓的晚上聽到狼嚎

 山貓為何而笑

 你能唱出山所有的聲音？

 你可以用風的顏色作畫？

 你可以用風的顏色作畫？

 在松林小徑奔跑

 品嘗地球上甜美的漿果

 豐腴的財富源源不絕

這次沒有人對價值疑惑

 暴雨和河流是我的兄弟

 蒼鷺和水獺是我的朋友

 我們都彼此相連

 轉身，這叫聲永不停歇

 梧桐樹長高了

 如果你砍下來，那麼你永遠看不到

 你將永遠不會聽到月圓的狼嚎

 皮膚不論白皙或古銅色

 我們要歌頌山岳

 我們要畫出風的顏色

 你仍然擁有地球

 永遠的地球

 你可以用風的顏色作畫

正確使用I, Me, My, Mine and Myself

孩子對我說：你可以讀故事好幾遍，為何你不讀文法？怪不得你英文那麼差。我想了很久，是的，我該讀文法。今天的文法課是：正確使用I, Me, My, Mine and Myself.

如果你對I, Me, My, Mine and Myself覺得困擾，你並不孤單！在本課程中，您將學習他們之間的區別與正確的使用。

I and ME

我是主詞 - 誰是活動的人。只能用“I”時，是指自己在句子的主詞。換句話說，你是採取主動。

我給約翰書。

ME是受詞 - 誰接收了一個指令。代名詞“me”時，是指你執行別人的指令。

這本書是約翰給我的。或者約翰將書遞給我。

當有一個以上的主語或受詞，人都變得有點糊塗了，所以我們看如何正確使用：

約翰和我在party看到Jane。

John=主詞

I =主詞

Jane=受詞

老師叫吉姆和我。

老師=主詞

吉姆=受詞

我=受詞

My and Mine

名詞之前用My，名詞之後，用Mine。

記得My總是跟著名詞，其中Mine替換名詞。

約翰是我的朋友。

約翰是我的一個朋友。

這些都是我的眼鏡。

這些眼鏡是我的。

MYSELF

代名詞“MYSELF”只有當執行自己的動作中使用。沒有人可以對你做任何事情。

這個詞myself用在兩種情況下：

當你做你自己

如）我用刀子不小心割傷自己。

因為重視 - 當你想強調自己 “I”

如）我烤這個蛋糕嘍！

BY MYSELF

BY MYSELF表達的是單獨的意思：

我自己出去吃晚飯了。

 

Using I, me, my, mine, and myself correctly

正確使用I, Me, My, Mine and Myself

My son talk to me: “Why you reading a story many times, but you havn’t study grammar? So, your English always poor.” I think a long time, Why? I decide study grammar immediately. Today I study “Using I, me, my, mine and myself correctly.”

If you’re confused by the words I, me, my, mine, and myself, you’re not alone! In this lesson, you will learn the difference between them and when to use the right one.

I and ME

I is the subject – the person who does the action in the sentence. Only use “I” when you are referring to yourself in the subject of the sentence. In other words, you are the one taking action.

I gave John the book.

Me is the object – the person who receives the action in the sentence. The pronoun “me” should be used when someone else will perform the action to, or for, you.

John gave me the book.

OR: John gave the book to me.

When there are more than one subject or object people do get a little confused , so we will see how to use it correctly

John and I saw Jane at the party.

John = subject

I = subject

Jane= object

The teacher called Jim and me.

The teacher = subject

Jim = object

me = object

MY and MINE

Use my before the word, and use mine after the word.

Remember my is always followed by noun where as mine replaces the noun.

John is my friend.

John is a friend of mine.

Those are my glasses.

Those glasses are mine.

 

MYSELF

The pronoun “myself” should only be used when you are performing the action on yourself. No one else can do anything to yourself.

The word myself is used in two cases:

When you do something to yourself

Eg) I accidentally cut myself with the knife.

For emphasis - when you want to emphasize the “I”

Eg) I baked this cake myself!

BY MYSELF

The expression by myself means alone:

I went out to dinner by myself.

有用的英語問候和回應

  你可能已經知道「你好」和「你好嗎？」但是，說英語不要總說「你好」和「你好嗎？」回答我很好。通常還使用許多其他的英語問候，並表達稍有不同的內容。

  讓我們來學習如何使用一些其他正式和非正式而且簡單的英語問候，以及有趣的俚語表達了全世界人民使用來互相問候和回應。

你好嗎？嘿怎麼樣了？

很好。這是一個簡單，直接的答案。如果你不說別的；但是，它可能是你不希望繼續對話的信號。

 

不錯。

這比「很好」更友好的回答。

很好，謝謝。

這個答案是正式的。如果一個你不清楚的問題，你可能會用這個方式回答，就像一個餐館服務員問你怎麼樣。

非常好，謝謝。不錯。

  如果你不關心文法，你可以回答「好」或「相當好」。這是比較常見的和隨意。

太好了！你好嗎？

  這是一個熱情，興奮的反應。它是個好回饋，如果你想繼續交談。

我掛在那裡。

  這個答案聽起來好像你有一個艱難的一天。我已經好多了。

「你好嗎？」人們通常給予積極的回答；如果你給這樣否定的答案，它通常意味著你要告訴聽眾你悲傷的故事。因此，他們通常會問怎麼了。

這是怎麼回事？什麼是新的？發生了什麼？

  這個問題的意思是「在你生活中發生了什麼事？」但你不必如實回答。如果你不想啟動一次長談，這些標準的回答你可以任擇期一使用：

1.沒什麼。這是最常見的答案。您可以分享一些有趣的事情，例如：「沒什麼。只是準備好瓦妮莎的畢業典禮。」

2.哦，只是平常。如果你每天做的大多是同樣的事情，這是回答的方法。

3.哦，天哪，各種東西！

  你可以回答這個問題的方式，如果你最近的生活一直非常繁忙和令人興奮。

發生了什麼？

  這個問題意味著同樣的事情“怎麼了”，並可以以相同的方式來回答。目前很多人使用俚語來互相問候，如：

1.喲！

2.您好！及響應於它可以是任何上述或「好伴侶」。

 

 

Useful English greetings and responses

  You probably already know "hello" and "how are you?" However, English speakers don't always say "hello" and "how are you?" and answer I am fine. They also use many other English greetings and expressions to say slightly different things.

  Let's learn how to use some other simple formal and informal English greetings, as well as fun slang expressions that people around the world use to greet each other and their responses to it.

How are you? Hey how's it going?

Fine. This is a simple, straight answer. If you don't say anything else, though, it might be a signal that you don't want to continue the conversation.

Not bad.

  This is a more friendly -sounding answer than "fine".

Fine, thanks.

  This answer is formal. You might answer this way if someone you don't know, like a waiter at a restaurant, asks how you are.

Very well, thanks. Pretty good.

  If you don't care as much about grammar, you can answer "Good" or "Pretty good". It's more common and casual.

Great! How are you doing?

  This is an enthusiastic, excited response. It's always s good to ask a question back to the other person if you want to continue the conversation.

I'm hanging in there.

  This answer makes it sound like you're having a tough day. I've been better.
  People usually give positive answers to the question "How are you?" If you give a negative answer like this one, it usually means that you want to tell the listener your sad story. So they'll usually ask what's wrong.

What's up? What's new? What's happening?

  This question means "What's happening in your life?" But you don't have to answer honestly. If you don't want to start a long conversation, you can use one of these standard replies:

1. Nothing much. This is the most common answer. You can follow it by sharing something interesting that's happening:

"Nothing much. Just getting ready for Vanessa's graduation."

2.Oh, just the usual. Answer this way if you do mostly the same things each day.

3.Oh gosh, all kinds of stuff !

  You can answer this way if your life has been really busy and exciting lately.

What's happening?

  This question means the same thing as "What's up" and can be answered in the same way. There certain slangs that are used by many people to greet each other such as :

1.Yo!

2. Howdy!

  And the response to it can be any of the above or 'Alright mate'.
