Henry Ford Quotes

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
翻译：当一切不顺利时，记得飞机是逆风起飞， 而不是顺风起飞的。

Shiraz Viognier - new popular wine style

The shiraz viognier blend has a softer feel than a full-bodies shiraz. By co-fermenting the fruit, the white viognier adds a floral dimension to the shiraz, resulting in a silky, soft finish and a liveliness to the palate.

McGuigan Shiraz Viognier has a juicy berry fruits flavour with a background vanila character. Matured in French and American oak for 12 months this wine is ready to drink now and will cellar for five years.

原油 vs 汽油

大家应该都知道原油和汽油时有差别的吧。汽油是petrol, 那原油英文是叫什么的？

核电厂的辐射外洩

最近大家都高度关注日本福岛核电厂的辐射外洩的消息。，石油发电…全都不能满足人类的需求。面临能源短缺，只好用这一种危险，我们还不能完全掌控的科技来制造电力。

这是一则The Sun 的新闻，报道说有许多民众都因辐射超标而心中不安，只好离开东京避难。

Panic swept Tokyo yesterday after a rise in radioactive levels around an earthquake-hit nuclear power plant, causing some to leave the capital or stock up food and supplies.

*swept 是sweep过去分词. 除了扫除，也可以说成席卷。Sweep the floor, swept the election..

WE PRAY FOR JAPAN - 女神卡卡义卖手环。

日本地震发生后, 女神卡卡在廿四小时之内，马上设计出一款「WE PRAY FOR JAPAN」（为日本祈福）的手环义卖，一只五美元。

每当有任何天灾发生时, 常常看见了某某明星出面筹款,发动义卖,呼吁歌迷捐款等等。不管这当中有几分是真心， 有几分是作秀，只要最后得益的是灾民，哪又有何妨呢？

来看看 女神卡卡 post 了些什么？
"I designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet. Buy It/Donate here and all proceeds will go to Tsunami relief efforts. "
[ http://www.ladygaga.com/news/]

我们常用的Proceed 是动词，表示是继续进行, 而Proceeds 是名词，表示收益, 收入。
所以这一段大意是 “我设计了为日本祈福手环，大家可以在这里购买。所有的收入作为救灾用途。”

8.9 级地震

今天正和日本的同事日本聊天，突然他们告诉我日本发生地震， 要离开办公司。察看了新闻，才发现那里发生 8.9 级地震。 直到放工了，我还没有在收到他们的reply了。 因为火车停工了，还有一些同事被逼呆留待办公室过夜。

 

下面是我从yahoo news 我抄了一篇新闻

 An 8.9 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Northeast Japan spawned a ferocious tsunami that's caused massive destruction; flattening whole cities, starting raging fires, and killing hundreds. 

 

8.9 级地震, 英文就是8.9 magnitude earthquake。我们记住这个8.9 magnitude earthquake, 下周用这问一下日本的同事,希望大家平安无事吧。

 

*spawned=To produce or deposit (spawn),  to give rise to

*ferocious=savagely fierce or cruel, 凶猛
