圣经

《圣经》中最让人感动的10大经典语录

1、"生命在他里头,这生命就是人的光。光照在黑暗里,黑暗却不接受光。"(《新约·约翰福音》第1章)

What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and 外语下载中心

外语下载中心

the darkness did not overcome it. "John 1-4,5"

这是是基督教神学思想的核心。这里的"光"指的是耶稣基督,"生命"指的是永生--战胜死亡,获得真理。

2、"你们要进窄门,因为引到灭亡,那门是宽的,路是大的,进去的人也多;引到永生,那门是窄的,路是小的,找着的人也少。"(《新约·马太福音》第7 章)

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it. "Matthew 7-13,14" 这是耶稣"登山宝训"中最短的一段,但却是整个新教精神的核心。对于清教徒而言,人生就意味着无尽艰险,就意味着走窄门。

3、" 爱是恒久忍耐,又有恩慈;爱是不嫉妒,爱是不自夸,不张狂,不作害羞的事,不求自己的益处,不轻易发怒,不计算人的恶,不喜欢不义,只喜欢真理;凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐;爱是永不止息。"(《新约·哥林多前书》第1 3章)

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or re sinful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. I t bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

基督教是"爱的宗教",这就是使徒保罗对爱的诠释。从古到今不知有多少人因这段话而皈依基督教,可见"爱是无可比的"。

4、"死啊,你得胜的权势在哪里?死啊,你的毒钩在哪里?死的毒钩就是罪,罪的权势就是律法。感谢上帝,使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。"(《新约·哥林多前书》第15章)

Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and. The power of sin is the law. But thanks to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

使徒保罗用优美的语言阐明了基督教的脉络:原罪与堕落,牺牲与救赎,胜利与永生。总体说来就是"用爱战胜死亡"。

5、"草必枯干,花必凋残,因为耶和华的气吹在其上;百姓诚然是草。草必枯干,花必凋残;惟有我们上帝的话,必永远立定!"(《旧约·以赛亚书》第40 章)

The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.

旧约的最大特点是"信念"。这句话就是无比坚定的信念,既是相信上帝,又是相信作为上帝选民的自己。以色列人的辉煌,大半缘自信念。

6、"我知道我的救赎主活着,末了必站在地上。我这皮肉灭绝之后,我必在肉体之外得见上帝。"(《旧约·约伯记》

第19章)

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand up on the earth; and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then in my flesh I shall see God.

这是约伯的信念。无论承受多么巨大的打击、多么绝望的境遇,都不可放弃希望、放弃信仰。亨德尔为此句作的咏叹调也极为感人。

7、 "不可封了这书上的预言,因为日期近了。不义的,叫他仍旧不义;污秽的,叫他仍旧污秽;为义的,叫他仍旧为义;圣洁的,叫他仍旧圣洁。"(《新约·启示录》第22章)

Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.

《启示录》中有很多让人不能不动容的话,这句只是其中代表而已。

8、"谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢?难道是患难吗?是困苦吗?是逼迫吗?是饥饿吗?是赤身露体吗?是危险吗?是刀剑吗???然而,靠着爱我们的主,在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。"(《新约·罗马书》第8章)

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

圣保罗真是无与伦比的传道者,他的讲道是如此气势磅礴且发人深省。这段话继承了旧约的信心,增加了新约的爱,完美地体现了基督教精神。

9、"我又专心察明智慧、狂妄和愚昧,乃知这也是捕风。因为多有智慧,就多有愁烦;加增知识的,就加增忧外语下载中心

伤。"(《旧约·传道书》第1章)

And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a chasing after wind. For in much wisdom is much vexation, and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow.

《传道书》是旧约中我最喜欢的篇章之一,传道者的话虽低沉消极,却又蕴涵着希望。能够用来战胜愁烦和忧伤的,只有一件事:"信仰"。

10、"哈利路亚!因为主我们的上帝,全能者作王了。??世上的国成了我主和主基督的国;他要作王,直到永永远远。??万王之王,万主之主。" (《启示录》第11、19章)

Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever.

这也是亨德尔歌剧《弥赛亚》中大合唱《哈利路亚》的歌词,它是至今唯一能让我多次热泪盈眶的歌曲。从这短短的几句话中我们可以看到无穷的胜利喜悦。欢呼吧!因为胜利属于我们。

Shakespeare

Let the end try the man .(from King Henry IV)

让结局考验人品。(《亨利四世》)

Love all ,trust a few ,do wrong to none.(from All's Well,That Ends Well)

对众人一视同仁,对少数人推心置腹,对任何人不要亏负。(《终成眷属》)

The couse of true love never did run smooth.(from A Midsummer Night's Dream)

真诚的爱情之路永远不会是平坦的。(《仲夏夜之梦》)

Give every man your ear ,but few your voice; take each man's censure ,but reserve your judgement.(from Hamlet)

倾听每一个人的意见,只对极少数人发表你的意见;接受每一个人的批评,可是保留你自己的判断。(《哈姆雷特》)

Sickness is felt ,but health not at all. 身在福中不知福。

These is no fire without smoke. 无风不起浪。

No news is good news. 没消息就是好消息。

No wonder lasts more than three days.在轰动的事也新奇不了三天。

Opportunity seldom knocks twice.机不可失,时不再来。

Move haste, less speed.欲速则不达。

Those are in the same boat should row together.同舟共济。

Custom is a second nature.习惯成自然。

the world is my oyster (世界是我的牡蛎)

if the world is my oyster 经常作为“如果我的梦想得以实现的话”的意思使用。该句来源于莎士比亚的The Merry Wives of Windsor (1600)Ⅱ?ⅱ?2中,恶棍Pistol对决意不肯借钱的Sir John Falstaff说、“Why then the world‘s mine oyster, / Which I with sword will open.”(这个世界如同我的牡蛎一样,我可以用刀子把它撬开。)人们应用这句话是常把原文的mine该成my.这句话也常常出现在Willy Loman的台词中。

Santa Claus’ reindeer(圣诞老人的驯鹿)

你知道圣诞老人的驯鹿是怎么来的吗?它们是Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863 美国作家)所写的‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’1823作品里出现的Dasher、Dancer、Prancer、Vixen、Comet、Cupid、Donner、Blitzen等8头

Was it a car or a cat I saw ?

英语姓名常识

英语姓名的一般结构为:教名+自取名+姓。如William Jafferson Clinton。但在很多场合,中间名往往略去不写,如George Bush,而且许多人更喜欢用昵称取代正式教名,如Bill Clinton。上述教名和中间名又称个人名。现将英语民外语下载中心

外语下载中心

族的个人名、昵称和姓氏介绍如下:

Ⅰ.个人名

按照英语民族的习俗,一般在婴儿接受洗礼时,由牧师或父母亲朋为其取名,称为教名。以后本人可以再取第二个名字,排在教名之后。

英语个人名的来源大致有以下几种情况:

1.采用圣经、希腊罗马神话、古代名人或文学名著中的人名作为教名。

2.采用祖先的籍贯、山川河流、鸟兽鱼虫、花卉树木等的名称作为教名。

3.教名的不同异体。

4.采用(小名)昵称。

5.用构词技术制造新的教名,如倒序,合并。

6.将母亲的娘家姓氏作为中间名。

英语民族常用的男子名有:James, John, David, Daniel, Michael,常见的女子名有:Jane, Mary, Elizabeth, Ann, Sarah, Catherine.

Ⅱ.昵称

昵称包括爱称、略称和小名,是英语民族亲朋好友间常用来表示亲切的称呼,是在教名的基础上派生出来的。通常有如下情况:

1.保留首音节。如Donald => Don, Timothy => Tim.如果本名以元音开头,则可派生出以'N'打头的昵称,如:Edward => Ned.2. +ie或-y如:Don => Donnie, Tim => Timmy.3.采用尾音节,如:Anthony => Tony, Beuben => Ben.4.由一个教名派生出两个昵称,如:Andrew => Andy & Drew.5.不规则派生法,如:William的一个昵称是Bill.

Ⅲ.姓氏

英国人在很长的一段时间里只有名而没有姓。直到16世纪姓氏的使用才广泛流行开来。英语姓氏的词源主要有:

1.直接借用教名,如Clinton.

2.在教名上加上表示血统关系的词缀,如后缀-s, -son, -ing;前缀M'-, Mc-,Mac-, Fitz-等均表示某某之子或后代。

3.在教名前附加表示身份的词缀,如St.-, De-, Du=, La-, Le-.

4.反映地名、地貌或环境特征的,如Brook, Hill等。

5.反映身份或职业的,如:Carter, Smith.

6.反映个人特征的,如:Black, Longfellow.

7.借用动植物名的,如Bird, Rice.

8.由双姓合并而来,如Burne-Jones.英语姓氏虽然出现较教名晚,但数量要多得多。常用的有:Smith, Miller,Johnson, Brown, Jones, Williams.

Ⅳ.几点说明

1.较早产生的源于圣经,希腊罗马神话的教名通常不借用为姓氏。

2.英国人习惯上将教名和中间名全部缩写,如M. H. Thatcher;美国人则习惯于只缩写中间名,如Ronald W. Reagan。

3.在姓名之前有时还要有人际称谓,如职务军衔之类。Dr., Prof., Pres.可以用于姓氏前或姓名

数字的读法

(1) 小数的读法

小数点左边的数通常按基数词读,若为三位以上的数,也可按编码式读法读出,即将数字单个读出;小数点右边的数通常按编码式读法单个读出。如:

6.86——six point eight six

14.15 ——fourteen point one five

345.456 ——three four five point four five six

或three hundred and forty-five point four five six

2) 小数中“0”的读法

“0”在小数中通常读作nought(英)或zero(美),也可读作字母o。如:

0.08 ——(nought)point nought eight 或 (zero)point zero eight

9.07 ——nine point o seven

2. 百分数表示法

百分数中的百分号%读作percent。如:

6% 读作 six percent

0.6% 读作 (nought) point six percent

500% 读作 five hundred percent

3. 倍数表示法

倍数表示方法很多,如:

1、This room is four times as big as mine.

3、The output of coal has doubled.

英语当中双关语的妙用

英语当中的双关语通常是指利用一个单词的两个含义,或者利用两个特定的单词,达到“一语双关”的目的。比如下面第一句话,其中的grave有两个含义,一个是“严肃的”(形容词),一个是“坟墓”(名词),因此这句话的意思是:他不是一个严肃的人,除非他躺到坟墓里,才能严肃起来。再比如下面第二句话,其中的 pray(祈祷)和prey(捕食),发音相同,外形相似,因此这句话的意思是:他们今天为你祈祷,明天就会加害于你。

①He is not a grave man until he is a grave man.

②They pray for you today and prey on you tomorrow.

国外一个网站评选的20xx年十大pun,下面是其中的三个例子,如果您能看懂、听懂,肯定会觉得pun很有意思。

①He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.

他违章超速驾驶,结果将昂贵的名车撞到树上,他终于看到他的奔驰车(Mercedes)是怎样撞弯(bends)的。这句话的幽默之处是将Mercedes Benz(奔驰车)中的Benz,故意改写成bends。

②Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

这句话乍一看,好象是说:时光像箭一样飞逝,水果像香蕉一样飞逝。其实这句话后半部分的真正意思是:果蝇喜欢吃香蕉,也就是fruit flies/like/a banana。

③A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two-tyred.

这句话的表面意思是:自行车自己站不起来,因为它只有两个轮胎(two-tyred)。而这句话的另外一个意思是:这辆自行车被它的主人骑了很长时间,它现在太累了(too tired)。

怎么样,pun是不是很有意思?我下面再列出三个pun,但不告诉您意思,请您自己琢磨一下。如果您能琢磨出来,那说明您的英语水平已经很高了。

①She wore a new hairpiece every day and was considered a big wig.

②Old math teachers never die, they just become irrational.

③When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.
