fight tooth and nail  竭盡全力拼命奮戰

fight to the bitter end   堅持不懈、直到最後關頭

fight的意思是鬥爭、搏鬥或是奮鬥。你也可能聽過這句話:  he who fights and runs away will live to fight another day。這句是說:生活中鬥爭是無可避免的。既然人生本是一場搏鬥,fight  組成的慣用語當然就特別多。

'Toy Story 3': To Growing Up, And Beyond

Buzz, Woody Et Al., Learning Life's Harder Lessons


看了許多部所謂電影的"續集",能稱得上是延續上集進而發揚光大又能獲得佳評如潮實在不多。就連賣座片哈利波特也非集集能將原著的精髓完全呈現。玩具總動員是少數可做到的,當然故事中的主角人物之間的誠摯感情、玩具之間的默契與無私的情懷著實讓人感動不已。以下是 結合NPR 所發表的影評。

Poster boys stay in the World Cup on posters only

海報男孩繼續留在世足賽 但是僅限於海報而已
Reuters - Wednesday 30 June 2010, 12:04


Images of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Samuel Eto'o are still festooned on posters all over South Africa – but sadly for them that's their only involvement as the World Cup reaches its final stages.

Famous Movie Quotes

"Can we learn English by watching movies?" you may ask.

Yes, of course you can. It all depends on the way you watch them. Do not think that just because something is fun - entertaining - that it cannot have an educational purpose. Remember that cultures have traditionally passed on their group wisdom in the form of stories - that's what literature is. So when we listen to a story, we are listening to an explanation of what life is about. Whether we hear it as a spoken tale, read it as a novel, or watch it as a film, we are always 'listening to a story'. It is enjoyable - and it is instructive.

Useful English Expression

bite off more than one can chew  自不量力;好高騖遠

Meaning: undertake or commit oneself to do more than one can accomplish


字面上的意思是我們不論吃什麼東西都只能一口一口吃,一點一點嚼。人的嘴巴容量是有限的,再好吃的東西,再愛吃的東西,也只能咬一口,吃一口。如果貪多貪快,一下咬下一大口,那就會有嚼不下去,嚥不下去也消化不了。現多用來比喻一個人好高騖遠,高估自己能力的情況。

What do you learn from feminism?

So, head of our department, department chairwoman asked “what have we learned from Feminism?, The following is my answer:

 

There’s one thing for sure I’ve learned that is Feminism isn't only for women. We are for equality but not necessarily sameness. Having a strong independent woman as a mate is helpful to my husband who sought an equal life partner not a house slave. Having equal pay for work of equal value means that the financial burden of a family isn't just stuck on the man. Sharing childcare means that the husband sees his kids and is involved in their lives instead of being a work horse who brings in all the family income and is too exhausted to share his life with theirs.

Sometimes I would ask myself, why do I get up at 5:30 am so I can fix their breakfasts and wake them up and send them off to school, then rush off to my job from 8 to 4, then rush home to cook dinner, do a couple hours of cleaning, catch up on reading for work, then collapse in bed? Is this "having it all," or is it merely "doing it all"? Why can't we respect women who want to stay home? People are shifting around in the worlds of work and family, but somehow, the old edifice remains in place.
