Nigarafalls有多出名，就不用我啰嗦赘述了。夏天是游览的旺季，孰不知这大冬天跑去看frozenfalls也别具风格。难得的一个晴朗无风的好天气，一路走来，确实是一派北国风光，千里冰封，万里雪飘，大河上下，仍然滔滔。零下二十度的严寒仍然无法封冻奔腾的水流。但飞溅的水沫可是瞬间冰冻，像小钢针一样打在游人的脸上。夏天去过的Journeybehindthefalls,冬天再访，水声轰鸣依旧[

偶尔看到这篇文章，唐代名臣张说的小品文，估计是闲来随笔，寥寥数语，通俗易懂，不但把钱的本质说个透彻，还给自己描了一副俏皮老头的自画像，这古人皮起来，也是没谁了。问世间钱为何物，直叫人生死相许。看得我拍案叫绝，不禁动了歪脑筋，翻成现代汉语，再翻成英语，搏诸君一笑。想来老先生应该不会入梦来找我要版权费吧。《钱本草》张说钱，味甘，大热，[

在这个“颜值即正义”的时代，青春似乎只在于姣妍的容貌，婀娜的身姿，优美的体态，看到SamuelUllman的这首诗，让我这无美貌可靠，青春亦欠奉的中年人颇感安慰，继而深受鼓舞。忍不住翻译以明（自）志（欺）。

初读《简爱》是十二三岁，本以为看的是善良灰姑娘被富有王子拯救于水火的爱情小说，没想到懵懂中完成了我的女权意识启蒙。虽然当时，乃至此后多年，我都没意识到这本书对我三观的影响和塑造。此书第一次出版于1847年，那个时代，女人只能作为男人的附属而存在，连财产拥有权都没有，更别说其他政治，经济，社会权利了。此书的精彩之处就在作者charlotteBronte以领先[

天天写工作报告，无聊的官样文章。英语，我曾经最爱的科目已沦为谋生工具。很久没有欣赏享受过语言带来的律动和美。今天凑巧看到just4fun美眉的贴，让我一时技痒，也来凑个热闹。低头踏实度日久矣，也该不忘抬头仰望星空才好。
我对翻译的理解是除了正式文件需要逐字逐句的翻译，力求严谨细致准确。对文艺作品则应该更注重还原原作者创造的意境。比如此文就[
