Barbie Doll


This girlchild was born as usual
and presented dolls that did pee-pee
and miniature GE stoves and irons
and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy.
Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said:
You have a great big nose and fat legs.

She was healthy, tested intelligent,
possessed strong arms and back,
abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity.
She went to and fro apologizing.
Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs.

She was advised to play coy,
exhorted to come on hearty,
exercise, diet, smile and wheedle.
Her good nature wore out
like a fan belt.
So she cut off her nose and her legs
and offered them up.

In the casket displayed on satin she lay
with the undertaker's cosmetics painted on,
a turned-up putty nose,
dressed in a pink and white nightie.
Doesn't she look pretty? everyone said.
Consummation at last.
To every woman a happy ending.



p.s不要用線上翻譯哦…

謝啦

我有以下這段文章，其中的
1. "We have a laugh."不知如何翻譯?
2. "Chilly Willy"是ㄧ種冰棒嗎?
3. "hot-cross buns" 又是什麼?
4. London Bridge Walk 是倫敦的什麼地方?

請各位翻譯高手幫忙。

The emphasis is on fun. It it's raining, customers are given a free umbrella. In summer they get a Chilly Willy (a type of ice lolly). Other seasonal gifts include mince pies at Christmas and hot-cross buns at Easter. "We have a laugh," Richer says. " We don't take ourselves seriously, but we do take our customers seriously."

謝謝!

各位大大安安~ 想請教一下，中國的古禮 "祭天大典" 及 "八佾舞" 之類的禮制，該如何翻譯成英文？
有比較正式的 "官方說法" 嗎？！或者，國外人士會使用的字是哪些呢？！

若我想查詢是否有國外學者的論文或專刊或期刊，談及中國的祭天大典，請問，我可以怎麼查詢？有哪些地方，或者論文專刊的網站(國外的) 可以查詢呢？還有，關鍵字該用哪些比較能夠查到呢？謝謝大家喔～ ^^

A frequency scanning array (Fig.9) has been made by placing a thin slot in the stub elements of a comb line [10] giving a beam scan of 3.4°/ percent frequency change at 17GHz with side lobe levels around -10dB. In the rampart line (Fig.10), mitred corners are taken as radiating elements and with appropriate spacing[11] , both linear and circular polarization can be obtained.

By series feeding an array of patch radiators so that their size and spacing increases log periodically, a new wide-band antenna has been formed[13]. The results of a feasibility study on such an antenna using electro- magnetic coupling to overlaid patches are shown, together with a sketch of the antenna, in Fig.12.

Hannah Montanafans who missed Miley Cyrus in her Best of Both Worlds Tour will have another chance to see the tween icon perform live. The 14-year-old actress will be gracing the 2008 Houston Livestock and Rodeo, along with other entertainers like Tim McGraw on March 3, Faith Hill on March 4 and Rascal Flatts on March 11.
Though most famously known for her Disney series Hannah Montana that catapulted her to stardom, this is not a first for Cyrus, who will be performing on March 9, 2008. In fact, she holds the Rodeo record for top paid attendance for a single show, which she set on March 4, 2007 when 73,291 fans paid to see the Hannah Montana star perform.

如果我要說「在5分鐘之後」，那用in與after有什麼差別？

例如下面 2句：

It will be finished in 5 minutes.

It will be finished after 5 minutes.

上面的 2句到底有沒有任何的差異呢？還是完全可以互用？
請指教～




ps:上面的 in是「在...之後」的意思，不要有人再跟我講那是「在...之內」，不信者可以去查字典

Warning signs
Given the prevalence of suicide risk factors in the population and the low base rate for suicide deaths, attention has been turned to identifying warning signs of suicide above and beyond risk factors. To help define the difference between risk factors and warning signs, the American Association of Suicidology developed a mnemonic ‘Is path warm?’ to help identify key warning signs. Simply having undergraduate psychology majors read the list of warning signs has been shown to effectively increase their ability to recognize suicide crises without creating or magnifying stigma.

Protective factors
While the absence of risk factors may be viewed as protective, some evidence supports key relationships in a positive social context as also being protective. Strong peer relationships have repeatedly been noted as protective factors in adolescents. For boys with a history of prior suicide attempts, school relations seem to protect against suicide, even when peer relations were poor, yet family relations are the strongest protective factor

記得以前國中英文裡的 am not 老師是說這兩個字不能縮寫

我最近看了一部影片，它裡面的台詞，am not 卻縮寫成 ain't

拿一個例句來說好了：I ain't doing nothing.

所以我的問題是，am not 是以前不能縮寫，而現在 改成能縮寫了嗎？還是...？？？

請高手幫忙, 謝謝=)
