Late fee 滞纳金
A late fee, also known as a late fine or a past due fee, is a charge levied against a client by a company or organization for not paying a bill or returning a rented or borrowed item by its due date. Its use is most commonly associated with businesses like creditors, video rental outlets andlibraries. Late fees are generally calculated on a per day, per item basis. 水电费、养路费、信用卡费、宽带费、图书馆借书费...偶都交过5555... Emotional abuse is a growing problem in China.And it involves such things as verbal attacks,disregarding a partner's views,or imposing economic controls on them. 嗯，这么解释一下，我和逃逃是挺暴力的...
Empty nest 空巢家庭 Empty nest syndrome is a general feeling of loneliness that parents or other guardian relatives may feel when their children leave home. 今天首次听到这个名词，与“留守儿童”有异曲同工之义。
Rainmaking/Artificial precipitation 人工降雨 Rainmaking refers to the act of attempting to artificially induce or increase precipitation, usually to stave off drought.
Snubs and Surprise 指受冷落及爆冷门的歌手和事件，出自CRI上的标题Grammy Snubs and Surprise-Who got robbed, who got lucky, and the new invasion. Snub -- to treat deliberately with coldness or contempt 喜欢押头韵的词，所以收录。
Phill
Grim 严酷的
看新闻说现在的经济形势很Grim。俺们也降薪啦，希望不要getting worse.
Adrenalin 肾上腺素
A hormone that helps the body react to stress, often by increasing a person's heart rate and nerve action
是不是见到ppmm就会Adrenalin增多呢。。。心跳会加快的.
Red Envelope 红包
小时候拿红包，现在给红包。。。
Firecracker 鞭炮
Firework是烟花，原来鞭炮是不一样的。
ShuttleCock 毽子
还是踢毽子比较好玩，咔咔。
第一次知道这词还可以表示“毽子”(以前只知道是羽毛球)，wiki一下发现不少有趣的说明。http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jianzi
Jiànzi (毽子), ti jian zi (踢毽子), ti jian (踢毽) or jiànqiú (毽球) is a traditional Asian game in which players aim to keep a heavily weighted shuttlecock in the air using their feet and other parts of the body (but not hands). 除手以外原来都可以，Phill这点做的不错^^不像我下意识总用手接...
The game, which goes by many different names (see below), may be rules-based on a court similar to badminton, or be played artistically, among a circle of players in a street or park, with the objective to keep the shuttle 'up' and show off skills. 这个好玩，原来可以像羽毛球一样有网进行对抗练习。
September 12 "Nothing is as frightening as not knowing but doing."如题．
早起赶报告．打开的ppt首页赫然入目这行字．有感．比如开设这个空间的初衷．
一直都know．常常不do.
来分享一记．哪怕只是见到时触动心灵的一刻．
选自Goethe. 欢迎来翻译这个句型． August 10 cauldron听奥运新闻，有这么一段： For Olympic opening ceremonies, the cauldron lighting part always catches the most attention. 于是猜到这个cauldron应该与圣火相关．查了一下，发现金山只有"大锅炉＂之解．
于是wikipedia一下，嗯，找到些满意的答案：
the cauldron where the Olympic Flame burns for the duration of the Olympic Games
如果讲太上老君的炼丹炉，应该也是这个吧．．．还想到了封神榜中的酷刑炮烙．．．
好了好了，太晚了睡觉^^
遇见生词就像遇到新人．．．邂逅总是令人惊喜．．．故事也会令人感慨 July 12 Farewell season前几天和第一个带过的中口班孩子聊天．
他问我还有那时告别的照片吗．
我告诉他写他们那篇farewell日志的时间，2007-02-04
然后过了一会他惊讶地赞偶．．．居然没错！
笑一笑，回他当时告别时的话语：nothing can beat first class.
呵呵，最近又逢farewell season.一月内前后相继结束三个班．
于是我终于静下心来统计我从2006.10至今所有带过的中高口班级．
回忆的线索很简单，手机里存下的开课记录和告别日期．
班级代号有些模糊，可是上课地点却格外清晰．
我在每一个班级下面，写上几句点评．再写上几个曾经让偶impressive的画面，和一些保持联系的孩子．
这个回忆，持续到三个多小时．
让偶惊讶的是，带过的班级总数已经超过了我的想象．
以下是一些统计数据：
 想来我带过的学生总数应该也在1000-1500之间了吧^^
我不知道我曾在他们记忆中留下的轨迹是什么样子的．
我也很遗憾很多时候，我对一个班级只留下了"actively involved"与否的概念．
但至少，对每个班级，我都有一个画面，很感动很感动．．．
呵呵，总有一天，我要把这些故事，慢慢写出来．．．
比如那些爆笑的场面，
比如一起红酒电影巧克力可爱多的时分，
比如暴雨时依然前来听课，
比如情人节的婚礼片断，
比如课后读过的很多热情的信和日记，
比如那个给我4分的孩子曾让偶失态委屈，
比如教师节生日时大量的短信，
比如封闭营里朝夕相处的欢笑汗水，
比如嗓子哑时送上的卡片和药品，
比如上海大雪纷飞的日子里我们共度，
比如．．．
告别的时分，见证过煽情甚至落泪．
但最近的几次，几乎都是happy ending.
我是害怕say goodbye的家伙，尤其是怕讲完真的就这样再也不见．
Anyhow, 在昂立的讲台上，有这样一些孩子，陪着我丰富过我最美好的一段人生．
在昂立，一直有一个人，指引着我的方向，他最近的日志中有这么一段话：
他喜欢的书＂Teacher Man＂，也许是大多老师的心声，就引用它作为这篇日志的farewell message吧．
When I taught in New York City high schools for thirty years no one but my students paid me a scrap of attention.
In the world outside the school I was invisible. －To Be Continued
