大姐

My agony column started to appear on Wednesdays in the FT and since then I have handed out advice on bullying bosses, office affairs, sexism, when to wear chinos: big problems, little problems.

我的知心大姐专栏开始在每周三的英国《金融时报》上发表。从那时起，我的建议范围囊括了恶霸老板、办公室恋爱、性别歧视、什么时候可以穿休闲长裤等大大小小的问题。

Later a woman in the Women Federation asked me:" Would you fall in love?" I shake my head ambiguously.

终于，一位妇联大姐问我是不是在谈恋爱时，我愣了一下并模棱两可地摇摇头。

BLOOM:(In caubeen with clay pipe stuck in the band, dusty brogues, an emigrant's red handkerchief bundle in his hand, leading a black bogoak pig by a sugaun, with a smile in his eye) Let me be going now, woman of the house, for by all the goats in Connemara I'm after having the father and mother of a bating.

581布卢姆：头戴一顶破旧帽子，帽带上插着一支陶制烟斗。脚蹬一双满是尘埃的生皮翻毛鞋手执移民的红手绢包，拽着一口用稻草绳拴着的黑泥炭色的猪，眼中含笑。）现在放我走吧，大姐，因为凭着康尼马拉有的山羊发誓，我刚刚挨的那顿毒打真够呛。

However, even if this hectic, it is silly not to let Big Sister-style dress ruined the moment so sweet.

不过，即便忙乱若此，也还是不要让傻大姐式的装扮毁了这么甜蜜的时刻。

On the hottest summer day of 1935, 13-year-old Briony gazes out of her window to see a couple at a fountain: her older sister Cecilia with Robbie, handsome son of the housekeeper of the sprawling English estate.

1935年夏季最热的一天，13岁的布莱妮透过窗户注视着泉水边的一对情侣：她的大姐赛西莉亚和罗比，英俊的罗比是这座树木横生的英国庄园里女管家的儿子。

She's a dippy brunette from the suburbs.

她是个从市郊来的傻大姐

When boarding in a hotel, I had always to put one or two bucks on the pillow for the charwoman every morning; when dining in a restaurant, another 10%—20% of the check for the waiter; even when taking a taxi, I had to pay extra money and ironically, many drivers run their own business.

说是小费，数目对于我这样的中国土鳖来说可不算小，住旅馆，每天早上要在枕头放一两个美元，给打扫房间的大姐；吃饭要把餐费的 10%-20%给服务员；甚至连坐出租车也要额外给小费，其实很多出租车司机自己都是老板。

I lay it never sawed ITSELF off, s'I -- somebody SAWED it, s'I; that's my opinion, take it or leave it, it mayn't be no 'count, s'I, but sich as 't is, it's my opinion, s'I,'n' if any body k'n start a better one, s'I, let him DO it, s'I, that's all.

我跟顿拉贝大姐说了，我说——""说来真见鬼，要干完所有这些活儿，须得一屋子挤得满满的黑奴，用四个星期，每晚每晚地干，费尔贝斯大姐。

In Jiangsu Province to a cosmetics counter doing BA, she风风火火, nothing is taboo, but also not afraid of offending people, shrewish, head of the counter for her one-third of all, this is justified, why is the eldest sister cattle being good in the sales on, then you can use one word to describe the "bull!"

牛大姐不姓牛，这个称呼是别人送她的外号，她还有个外号叫"男人婆"，在苏南的某个化妆品柜台里做BA，她风风火火，没有什么忌讳，也不怕得罪人，泼辣，柜台组长都让她三分，这是有理由的，理由就是牛大姐为人不错，在销售上，那可以用一个字来形容"牛！"

A woman of minority nationality:Suddenly,I encounter with a minority woman wearing well-decorated clothing,I thinks they are really artists.

少数民族大姐》突然又见到一个满身装饰的少数民族大姐，我觉得她们才是真正的艺术家！

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
