你可曾注意到近年來新聞中隨處可見有關天氣異常的報導?舉例來說，2003年時歐洲的ㄧ波熱浪導致兩萬多人死亡。異常嚴熱的天氣也引發了全年最劇烈的幾長燎原大火，地區囊括美國加州、印尼到澳洲。台灣本島在歷經數年毀滅性的大水災之後，又接連面臨了幾年的大旱。科學家估計，全球天氣將持續惡化，接下來的25年，所造成的死亡人數將為現今的兩倍。這是怎麼回事?為什麼會如此呢?
科學家相信，這些異常的天氣亂象是地球氣候正在改變的徵兆。他們宣稱是人類的工業活動造成這樣的變化，讓地球溫度在所謂全球暖化的過程中逐漸升高。此暖化過程肇因於大量因燃燒石油、天然氣與煤氣等燃料而產生的二氧化碳被排入大氣層。全球各地的車子、飛機及工廠不斷地排放大量的碳氣到大氣層。然而，也有很大一部分的含碳廢物是由ㄧ般大眾所製造的。啟動冷氣機、冰箱、電燈的電力主要來自於含碳燃料。問題是二氧化碳會吸收陽光的熱能，始知不能散入太空。據科學家檢測的結果，不僅大氣層中含碳量增加，世界各地的溫度也上升了。
科學家也觀察到南北兩極冰原的變化，兩者均逐漸融化，造成海平面升高。有些人預言，因海平面上升太多，在本世紀末之前，倫敦、紐約、台北等大都市都會沒入水中。要是這個大災難真的發生，數百萬人將會無家可歸。更大量的海水加上更炙熱的溫度，代表更多的水會蒸發到空氣中，一旦若下便形成豪雨。科學家認為近年的大洪水就證明了全暖化所造成的降雨過量。過去十年來，颶風所帶來的雨量也比過去大。其中ㄧ個例子就是2005年讓美國紐奧良飽受大水摧殘的致命颶風卡翠娜。相對地，世界上其他地區，特別是原本就很熱的赤道附近，卻變的更乾燥了。非洲的撒哈拉沙漠正逐漸擴張，隨著更多耕地變成寸草不生的沙漠，數百萬人極可能死於飢荒。不幸地，因為許多國家正逐步工業化，每年有更多二氧化碳進入大氣層。
有些專家認為，唯有世界主要大國採取行動，才能遏止全球暖化的加速。瑞典、挪威、荷蘭等國已成功地針對燃料開徵碳稅，以鼓勵工廠減少二氧化碳的排放量。台灣方面，每月的電費單據上顯示出各家庭和業者所製造的二氧化碳量，藉以提醒人們全球暖化的問題，許多大都市也設法節約能源。舉例來說，台北市政府正在推廣省電燈泡的使用。同時在倫敦，想開車進市中心的人們得支付額外的費用；因此，許多駕駛人現在都轉而選擇大眾交通運輸系統。
除了政府的措施，個人也可以節約能源。每個人都可以少用熱水、不用時隨手關掉電器、非必要就別開冷氣。民眾可以搭乘大眾交通工具來取代開車或騎摩托車，可能的話，就走路或騎腳踏車。大家還可以試著少用紙袋或塑膠袋。紙袋是由樹木製造而來，而樹木在將二氧化碳排出大氣層的過程中扮演重要角色，而製造塑膠袋也需燃燒石油。如果數十億的人口都能積極參與，現況就能大大改善。因此，如果你擔憂全球暖化，試著找出方法來減少你所製造的含碳氣體吧。

B5L9翻譯
好幾百張臉孔盯著我看。有些人正在咯咯笑著，有些人則安靜地表現專注。我穿著一襲白色禮服，站在台上。我是高年級所票選出來的六個「公主」之ㄧ，要代表我們學校參加一個全市的大型慶典活動。當我被選上時，我就知道我終究得做個演講。雖然相當焦慮，我決定接受這挑戰，克服我對演講的恐懼。
觀眾們一定想不到，當我站在台上ㄧ副外表鎮定的時候，內心其實正狂亂地跳著。接著，我就認定這想法一定不是真的—他們當然聽得到我心臟砰砰跳的聲音啊。老天啊!我在做什麼啊?沒有蝴蝶停在我的胃裡，不，現在有的可是象群呢!如雷鳴般鼓譟的象群正威脅著要把我徹底地踐踏一翻。焦躁充滿著我的血管，令我感到頭暈目眩。
我走向麥克風。意識到眼前的萬頭攅動，我開始了我的演說。一些演講詞很快地脫口而出之時，我聲音裡的顫抖顯而易見。然而，隨著聽眾漸漸安靜下來，我開始逐漸建立信心。我的肌肉放鬆了，呼吸也緩和了下來。或許這幾星期以來在臥室鏡子前的演練正在發揮功效。「也許我真能辦得到，」我自忖著。
然後，就在我這三分鐘的演講進行三十秒時，麥克風壞了。我怒視著這可能害我失敗的可惡器具，心想著能不能掐死一個無失命的東西!它怎麼可以這樣對我呀?
表面上因恐懼和難堪顯得動彈不得，我瘋狂似地盤算著適當的反應。我該絕望地跑下台或是該等待麥克風的電力恢復呢?時間彷彿靜止了，凝聚成一剎那的良機—意圖在那一刻突然重於ㄧ切。我沒有採用先前那兩個草率的想法。相反地，我告訴自己，唯有正視突如其來的阻礙，我才能成為勝利者。我決定閉上雙眼，穩住顫抖的四肢，用力呼出肺裡灼熱的焦慮感，以騰出空間讓我做自己想要做的事。
我深吸了一口氣，停頓ㄧ會兒，然後繼續我的演說。在我面前，安靜的觀眾專注地聆聽我說的每一個字，彷彿我是初試啼聲的鳥兒。當我知道自己做了正確的決定之時，我感到血液又回到我蒼白的臉上，還伴隨著一股鎮靜定而篤定的感覺。而且就在我身邊的某處，我聽到自己的聲音宏亮了起來，這回可是沒藉助任何的電子設備。我的聲音遠達樓上的座位，在那邊我可以看到人們不再搖頭晃腦，而是入迷地坐著，或許是對我的決定深感訝異。
我的獨白結束了。令我驚訝的是，掌聲與歡呼聲是如此強烈，以至於偌大的空間都震動了起來。我外表看似謙虛，然而內心卻充滿了驕傲。我已經克服了自身最大的恐懼，外加ㄧ場未曾預見的大災難。我已將蝴蝶，甚至象群全都趕出我的胃（我已克服緊張不安的心情以及極大的焦慮）。此刻，當我看著聽眾，我心想，這震耳的掌聲與歡呼聲聽在耳裡已是另ㄧ種象群轟隆作響的聲音了。
然後，猶如上天的恩賜，我整個人恍然大悟了。剎那間明白了，我可以接受任何挑戰。當我穿著我的白色禮服鞠躬行禮時，我感到一股永難忘懷的喜悅滿足。在我體內存在著一位通過考驗的年輕女性，一位無畏於自身恐懼的年輕女性。

Westlife -Home
Another summer day has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome, I wanna go home
Maybe surrounded by a million people I
Still feel all alone, I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two, “’I’m fine baby how are you?”
Well, I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat and you deserve more than that
Another airplane, another sunny place I’m lucky I know
but I wanna go home, I’ve got to go home
Chorus
Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I gotta come home
Let me go home
I’ve had my run, baby I’m done
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside when everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
‘Cause this was not your dream, but you always believed in me
Another winter day has come and gone away
In neither Paris nor Rome and I wanna go home
I miss you, you know
Chorus
Let me go home
I‘ve had my run
Baby I’m done
I wanna go home
Let me go home
It’ll all be alright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

L9課文5-7段
Outwardly paralyzed with horror and humiliation, I frantically plotted the appropriate reaction. Should I run off the stage in despair or wait for the power to return to the microphone? Time seemed to stand [u1] still, crystallizing[u2] a moment of opportunity, when intent suddenly meant everything.
從表面上看恐懼和屈辱而動彈不得，我瘋狂地策劃了適當的反應。我應該跑出舞台，或在絕望中等待著力量重新回到麥克風嗎？時間似乎停在那兒不動凝結了一個機會的時刻,當企圖突然間指得就是一切時。
I chose neither of my first quick solutions. Instead, I told myself only when I faced this unexpected obstacle head-on could I be the victor. I decided to close[u3] my eyes to still my quaking limbs and force out the hot anxiety in my lungs to make room for what I to do.
我沒有選擇到我能快速解決的辦法。相反地，我對自己說，只有當我面對這個障礙我才可以變成一位勝利者。我決定閉起我的眼睛來平靜我顫抖的身軀和焦慮的肺，使我挪出一個空間去做我打算做的事。
I took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then continued.Before me, the quiet audience focused on each new word, as if I had been[u4] a bird, singing[u5] out for the very first time. Knowing[u6] I had made[u7] the right decision, I felt the blood return to my pale face, along with a calm, sure feeling. In addition, from somewhere beside me, I heard my voice boom, this time without electronic help. It reached far into the upper balcony, where I could see people no longer bobbing their heads, but sitting fascinated, and maybe amazed at how determined I was.
我深深吸了一口氣，暫停了一會兒，然後繼續進行。在我面前，安靜的觀眾專注於每一個新的詞句，彷彿我一直是隻鳥，第一次的演唱，讓我知道我的決定是正確的，我覺得我蒼白的臉有了血色，有了一種平靜感動的感覺。另外，從我旁邊的某個地方，我聽到我的聲音很響亮，這一次沒有電子樂器的幫助。聲音傳達到遠方的座位上，在那裡我可以看到人們不再搖著頭，而是坐在位子上聽的入迷，或許我會被認同而驚訝。

煩死了我不想用了
My soliloquy ended. Tomy surprise, the applause and cheering werw so loud that the large room actually vibrated. I appeared humble on the outside, yet my heart was bursting with pride on the inside. I had mastered my greatest fear, along with a big extra dose of unforeseen adversity. I had gotten the butterflies and even elephants out on the audience, I believed that this loud cheering was a new kind of elephant thunering in my ears!
then a realization swept over me like a gift. In an instant, I knew-I could do anything! Taking a bow in my white dress, I felt a glow that I would never forget. I realized that within me existed a young woman once tested-a young woman who bolder than her fear.

該如何面對怯場
面對怯場不是件很難的事，上星期的演講，即使我很焦慮，我還是設法克服怯場，我是如何做到的呢？第一，我走到演講台上前，我閉起眼睛，使腳和手停止發抖，第二，我打算將我的肺挪出一個空間，讓我知道該怎麼去做,然後深呼吸使自己平靜下來，最後我微笑著走到演講台上，開始發表我的演講，我發表完演講後，看到觀眾的歡呼和掌聲，我充滿了自信心，因為我終於克服了怯場。

美國老師教你寫出好英文 避免中式英文
【本文選自眾文圖書之《美國老師教你寫出好英文》】
What is Chinglish? It is Chinese-English. It is perfectly normal, when you learn a foreign language, that you think in your native tongue and try to translate word-for-word. Though this is a normal, understandable trait, it makes your foreign language sound, well, foreign. For instance, when I was first learning Chinese, I learned the word for old was lao (老). When it came time to talk about old clothes, though, my friend corrected me and said I had to say jiu（舊）. I was puzzled because English has the same word for old dog or old clothes: old. It took me time to think in Chinese, and it also takes Chinese speakers time to think in English. But be encouraged! Learning English just takes time and patience.
什麼是Chinglish？就是中式英文。學習外語時會用母語思考並逐字翻譯，這是很正常的現象。然而，雖然這種現象很正常且合理，但它就是會讓你的外文聽起來不道地。舉例來說，我初學中文時學到old的中文意思是「老」，但當我用來表達「老衣服」時，我的朋友卻糾正我說用要「舊」這個字。這讓我很困惑，因為英文可以用old來表示old dog或old clothes。我花了不少時間才有辦法用中文思考，同樣地，華人也需要一段時間才能學會用英文思考。但是不要沮喪，學習英文只是需要時間和耐心。
Afraid 害怕
This is a very common phrase, （我很怕蚊子）. But be careful: in English, “afraid” means actual fear, so do not say, “I am afraid of mosquitoes.” That gives the image of some 200-pound mosquito trying to kill you! In this case, just write: “I hate mosquitoes” or “I find mosquitoes annoying.” Save “afraid” for serious cases.
「我很怕蚊子」是中文裡常見的說法，但要小心，在英文中afraid是指真正的懼怕，所以不能說I am afraid of mosquitoes.，那會讓人誤以為有隻200磅的蚊子要攻擊你。這句話只要寫成I hate mosquitoes. 或I find mosquitoes annoying. 就可以了，把afraid用在更嚴重的情況吧。例如：
●Ever since I was bitten as a child, I have always been afraid of big dogs.
●With the economy doing poorly, I am afraid I may have a hard time finding a job.
Bored/Boring 無聊
These adjectives that can end with either -ed or -ing can be tricky. In general, bored is how someone feels because a situation (or another person) is boring.
這類用 -ed或 -ing結尾的形容詞很容易讓人搞錯。一般而言，bored指的是某人的感受，因為他處的情境（或面對的人）很boring。例如：
●WRONG: This class is too long. I feel very boring.
●RIGHT: This class is too long. I feel very bored.
To say you are boring is to insult yourself! But a boring class can make a person bored.
如果你說自己很boring，那就等於在侮辱自己了。但是你可以說一堂boring class讓人感到bored。
Colors 顏色
This is an easy problem to solve. Because the Chinese word for white is bai se（白色）, many translate it as “white color,” as in “Have you seen my dog? It is white color.” No. All you need to say is “Have you seen my dog? It is white.”
這個問題比較容易解決。中文稱white為「白色」，因此很多人會把中文的「白色」翻譯成white color，例如Have you seen my dog? It is white color. 這是不對的，你只要說Have you seen my dog? It is white. 就可以了。
●WRONG: Blue color makes me feel peaceful.
●RIGHT: Blue makes me feel peaceful.
●WRONG: Red color and yellow color can make people feel in a hurry.
●RIGHT: Red and yellow can make people feel in a hurry.
(And what are the main colors at McDonald’s? Red and yellow. That’s why they call it “fast food.” They want you to spend your money and get out fast so they have room for the next person.)

What is Chinglish? It is Chinese-English. It is perfectly normal, when you learn a foreign language, that you think in your native tongue and try to translate word-for-word. Though this is a normal, understandable trait, it makes your foreign language sound, well, foreign. For instance, when I was first learning Chinese, I learned the word for old was lao (老). When it came time to talk about old clothes, though, my friend corrected me and said I had to say jiu（舊）. I was puzzled because English has the same word for old dog or old clothes: old. It took me time to think in Chinese, and it also takes Chinese speakers time to think in English. But be encouraged! Learning English just takes time and patience.
什麼是Chinglish？就是中式英文。學習外語時會用母語思考並逐字翻譯，這是很正常的現象。然而，雖然這種現象很正常且合理，但它就是會讓你的外文聽起來不道地。舉例來說，我初學中文時學到old的中文意思是「老」，但當我用來表達「老衣服」時，我的朋友卻糾正我說用要「舊」這個字。這讓我很困惑，因為英文可以用old來表示old dog或old clothes。我花了不少時間才有辦法用中文思考，同樣地，華人也需要一段時間才能學會用英文思考。但是不要沮喪，學習英文只是需要時間和耐心。
Afraid 害怕
This is a very common phrase, （我很怕蚊子）. But be careful: in English, “afraid” means actual fear, so do not say, “I am afraid of mosquitoes.” That gives the image of some 200-pound mosquito trying to kill you! In this case, just write: “I hate mosquitoes” or “I find mosquitoes annoying.” Save “afraid” for serious cases.
「我很怕蚊子」是中文裡常見的說法，但要小心，在英文中afraid是指真正的懼怕，所以不能說I am afraid of mosquitoes.，那會讓人誤以為有隻200磅的蚊子要攻擊你。這句話只要寫成I hate mosquitoes. 或I find mosquitoes annoying. 就可以了，把afraid用在更嚴重的情況吧。例如：
●Ever since I was bitten as a child, I have always been afraid of big dogs.
●With the economy doing poorly, I am afraid I may have a hard time finding a job.
Bored/Boring 無聊
These adjectives that can end with either -ed or -ing can be tricky. In general, bored is how someone feels because a situation (or another person) is boring.
這類用 -ed或 -ing結尾的形容詞很容易讓人搞錯。一般而言，bored指的是某人的感受，因為他處的情境（或面對的人）很boring。例如：
●WRONG: This class is too long. I feel very boring.
●RIGHT: This class is too long. I feel very bored.
To say you are boring is to insult yourself! But a boring class can make a person bored.
如果你說自己很boring，那就等於在侮辱自己了。但是你可以說一堂boring class讓人感到bored。
Colors 顏色
This is an easy problem to solve. Because the Chinese word for white is bai se（白色）, many translate it as “white color,” as in “Have you seen my dog? It is white color.” No. All you need to say is “Have you seen my dog? It is white.”
這個問題比較容易解決。中文稱white為「白色」，因此很多人會把中文的「白色」翻譯成white color，例如Have you seen my dog? It is white color. 這是不對的，你只要說Have you seen my dog? It is white. 就可以了。
●WRONG: Blue color makes me feel peaceful.
●RIGHT: Blue makes me feel peaceful.
●WRONG: Red color and yellow color can make people feel in a hurry.
●RIGHT: Red and yellow can make people feel in a hurry.

High School Musical 3"Can I Have This Dance"(Performed by Vanessa Hudgens & Zac Efron as Gabriella Montez & Troy Bolton)
Gabriella:
Take my hand
Take a breath
Pull me close
And take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide
Gabriella & Troy:
Won't you promise me that you'll never forget
We'll keep dancin' wherever we go next
Gabriella & Troy:
It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding
Someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling
The way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance
Can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Gabriella:
Ooohhh...
Gabriella & Troy:
No mountain's too high enough, no ocean's too wide
'Cause together or not
Our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe that we were meant to be
Gabriella & Troy:
It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding
Someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling
The way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance
Can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Gabriella & Troy:
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance
