每日一讲(4.19)Out it on my tab
Put it on my tab.
tab为小纸片的意思，在过去没有签帐卡、信用卡的时代，外出购物可能会发生带不够钱的窘境，于是乎老板通常便把所赊的帐记录在一张小纸片上，因此put it on one's tab便是「记在某人的帐上」的意思，所以下次当你发现没带钱时，就可以帅气地说出Put it on my tab!，但是我们不保证你能全身而退。

每日习语(4.19)Over the hump
今天我们要讲的一个习惯用语是克服困难的意思。这个习惯用语就是： over the hump. Hump就是一个小丘。Over the hump 是指某个人已经完成了一项任务当中最困难的部份。要是一个人生了重病，但是他渡过了最危险的阶段，在这种情况下也可以用over the hump来表示。下面就是一个例子。
"My friend was so sick that we were afraid he'd never leave the hospital alive. But the doctors say he's over the hump now, getting stronger every day, and he can go home next week."
这是一个人在说他的朋友，他说：“我的朋友前一阵病得很重，我们担心他会死在医院里。但是，医生说，他现在已经渡过了难关，目前他的体力正在一天天地恢复，越来越强壮，下星期就可以回家了。”
一个作家要完成一本书需要花很多时间和精力。从搜集素材到出版往往要用几年的时间才能完成一本书。下面这个例子就是一个人在说他的一位当作家的朋友。
"Arthur practically disappeared from the scene for a couple of years as he was concentrating on his second novel. Yesterday he finally agreed to attend a party next week as he has completed the draft and is now over the hump."
这个人说：“阿瑟过去两年一直集中力量在写他的第二本小说，所以你根本见不到他的人。昨天，他终于答应参加下星期举行的一个聚会，因为他已经完成了这部小说的初稿，最忙、最艰苦的时期已经过去了。”
concentrate
vt.集中； 使...集中于一点

每日一诗(4.19):Song of the True Self
Song of the True Self
By Walt Whitman
(originally in English)
Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge
that pass all the art and argument of the earth,
And I know that the hand of God is the elder hand of my own,
And I know that the spirit of God is the eldest brother of my own,
And that all the men ever born are also my brothers
.....and the women my sisters and lovers,
And that a kelson* of the creation is love.
And limitless are leaves stiff or drooping in the fields,
And brown ants in the little wells beneath them,
And mossy scabs of the worm fence, and heap'd stones, and elder,
and mullein and poke-weed.
真我之歌
祥和与了悟迅即充溢我的四周
超越世间所有的技巧与争辩
我明白上帝的手就是我亘古的手
上帝的圣灵就是我的长兄
世间的男子也全是我的弟兄
世间的女子都是我的姊妹与爱人
造化的精髓就是爱
在田野里硬挺或下垂的叶子上
在叶下小洞的棕色蚂蚁群里
在篱笆上的苔痕、石堆、接骨木、毛蕊花和商陆草中
我看到无限

每日新闻(4.19):法国驻华大使：金晶遭袭让我心痛
Ambassador 'felt hurt' by disruption
The French ambassador to China has said he would like to meet the disabled Chinese torchbearer who was attacked in Paris during the Olympic torch relay to express his regret over the disruption.
"I deeply regret what happened during the torch relay in Paris," Herve Ladsous told a press conference on Friday.
He said he also felt hurt when he saw Jin Jing, a Paralympic athlete in a wheelchair, being attacked by violent Tibetan separatists.
"I hope I can meet Jin Jing in person to show friendship and my deep regret," Ladsous said.
The 27-year-old from Shanghai became a household name in China for protecting the torch while separatists tried to wrestle it away during the Paris leg of the relay on April 7. She has been dubbed the "Smiling angel in the wheelchair".
As well as hailing her courage, Chinese have expressed outrage at the attack, which they believe was made possible with the connivance of the French authorities.
Minutes before the Paris relay began, Tibetan "independence" flags were unfurled at the City Hall.
"The mayor of Paris (Bertrand Delanoe) should take responsibility," Ladsous said.
"One thing is clear: Similar incidents didn't take place in central government institutions," he said.
Paris police detained the person who attacked Jin Jing, he said.
He also said that French President Nicholas Sarkozy has not said he will boycott the Beijing Olympics.
"He just said it hasn't been decided whether he will attend the opening ceremony There are many possibilities, and we hope it will move in a good direction," Ladsous said.
The disruption of the Olympic torch relay in Paris and the comments by some French politicians about how the Chinese government handled the recent riots in Tibet have sparked widespread anger at France among Chinese Internet users and the public.
They have called on consumers to boycott French exports and to stop shopping at French retail giant Carrefour, which they say supports Tibetan independence groups, an accusation the company denies.
Ladsous said his government will "grasp every opportunity to show the spirit of cooperation" in solving the problems facing bilateral relations.
Despite the ambassador's friendly remarks, the dent the Paris disruption has made on Chinese attitudes toward France is deep.
Two Chinese artists have pulled out of an exhibition in France, local media reported on Friday.
Wang Guangyi and Lu Hao, two of the biggest names in China's contemporary art scene, said they will not take part in a June exhibition at a Paris gallery because of French attitudes toward the Olympics.
The support of some in France to boycott the August Games "made me feel very annoyed, so we thought that at this particular time attending the exhibition would be unhappy and decided not to go", the Beijing News quoted Wang as saying.
In Beijing, Qiang Ming, a graduate student at Renmin University of China, said what happened in Paris has changed his view of France.
He is one of the millions of educated young Chinese who started rethinking about Western values after the mess in Paris.
"I was shocked by the rudeness of many locals in Paris," Qiang said.
"In my opinion, a boycott against a French retailer is more rational than the collective hysteria of the French media toward China," he said.
