Fast Food Scraps Threaten Rat Plague?
Britain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave fast food scraps in the street,an environment group warned.Keep Britain Tidy said the rodents were abandoning their traditional haunts underground and were roaming the streets,enticed by discarded remnants of burgers,pizzas and crisps."The rat population is on the rise and soon it'll be as common to see a rodent on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat," said group Director,Sue Nelson.The practice of dumping fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than in the trash - with young men the worst offenders - was behind the rise.According to the National Rodent Survey in 2001,Britain's rat population has grown by nearly one quarter since 1998 and is now estimated at 60 million,two million more than the human population.On average a rat can give birth every 24-28 days and just a single pair of rats can produce a colony of 2,000 a year.Around 200 Britons a year contract Weil's Disease - an infection which can lead to kidney or liver failure and eventually death and which is carried in rat's urine.To highlight the issue,Keep Britain Tidy launched a cinema advert entitled "How close do you want them to get?" The ad culminates in a shocking image of a young woman sleeping in a bed of rats - echoing the nightmare scenario from James Herbert's classic horror tale The Rats,in which mutant rodents begin to prey on humans.
吃剩快餐贻鼠患
一个环保组织发出警告：由于越来越多的人把吃剩的快餐扔在大街上,英国的老鼠数量正在急剧上升.“保持英国清洁”组织说,人们抛弃的汉堡包、比萨饼和土豆条残渣正在诱使习惯在地下活动的鼠类转而到大街上漫步.“老鼠数量正在增长,很快在街上看到老鼠就会和看到猫狗一样平常,”该组织负责人苏-尼尔森说.老鼠增多的背后是往大街上而不是垃圾箱里乱扔快餐垃圾和残渣的行为--年轻人是其中的罪魁祸首.根据2001年的国家鼠类调查,英国的老鼠数量自1998年来增长了将近¼,目前估计为6千万只,比英国人口还多2百万.老鼠平均每24至28天就可生产一次,仅仅一对老鼠一年就能繁殖出一个2000只的鼠群.每年大约有200个英国人感染威尔氏症--一种能导致肾或肝功能衰竭直至死亡的传染病,病源在老鼠的尿液中.为引起人们对这一问题的注意,“保持英国清洁”推出了名为“你希望它们靠得多近?”的影院宣传片.宣传片的高潮是一幅令人震惊的画面：一个年轻妇女睡在一张满是老鼠的床上--这是对詹姆斯-赫伯特的经典恐怖故事《老鼠》中梦魇般的景象的模拟.在那个故事中,变异的老鼠开始捕食人类.

另一种爱
Inside the Russian Embassy in London a KGB colonel puffed a cigarette as he read the handwritten note for the third time. There was no need for the writer to express regret, he though. Correcting this problem would be easy. He would do that in a moment. The thought of it caused a grim smile to appear and joy to his heart. But he pushed away those thoughts and turned his attention to a framed photograph on his desk. His wife was beautiful, he told himself as he remembered the day they were married. That was forty-three years ago, and it had been the proudest and happiest day of his life.
在伦敦的俄国使馆，一位克格勃上校一边吞云吐雾，一边读着一张手写的字条，这已是他第三次在读这张字条了。便条的作者不必表示遗憾了，上校这样想着。纠正这个错误其实很容易。他只要一会儿工夫便会做到。想到这里，他的脸上不禁浮现出一种可怕的笑容，他内心深处既伤感而又快活。上校从沉思中游离出来，将注意力集中到桌子上的一个像框上，他的妻子是位美丽的女人，当想起他们成婚的那一天时他不禁自语道。那已是43年前的事情了，可却是他一生中最自豪最幸福的日子。
What had happened to all that time? Why had it passed so quickly, and why hadn't he spent more of it with her? Why hadn't he held her close and told her more often that he loved her? He cursed himself as a tear came from the corner of his eye, ran down his cheek, then dropped onto the note. He stiffened and wiped his face with the back of his hand. There was no need for remorse or regret, he told himself. In a few moments he would join her and at that time would express his undying love and devotion.
那些时候都发生了什么？为什么时光流逝得如此之快？为什么他没能将更多的时光用来陪伴她？为什么他没能将她搂紧，更多次地告诉她他爱她？他于是开始诅咒起自己，泪水也忍不住夺眶而出，流过面颊，最后滴落在字条上。这时，他板起了面孔，用手背揩去了眼泪。已经没有必要来自责与悔恨了，他对自己说道。很快他不就会与她团聚了吗？到那时，他将再向她表达他永恒的爱与忠心。
After setting the note ablaze he dropped it into an ashtray and watched it burn. For a time the names cast moving shadows on the walls of the darkened room, then they nickered and died out. The colonel dropped the cigarette to the floor and ground it out with his heel, then clutched the photograph to his breast, removed a pistol from his pocket, placed the barrel in his mouth and pulled the trigger. In the ashtray a small portion of the note remained. Where it had been wetted by his tear it had failed to bum, and on that scrap of paper were the words "died yesterday."
他点燃了字条，将它扔进了烟灰缸中，看着它慢慢地燃烧起来。在火苗的映衬下，这间漆黑的屋子里的四壁一时变得影影绰绰。不一会儿，火苗成了星星点点，渐渐地熄灭了。上校把香烟扔在了地板上，用后脚跟碾灭，随后抓起照片放在自己的胸前。他从衣兜中掏出了一把手枪，将枪筒放进自己的嘴中，接着扣动扳机。在烟灰缸中还残留着一小片字条，由于被上校的泪水浸湿而未能燃尽。在这块残片上有这样几个字“昨天去世”。
鲍勃去看牙医
Bob Goes to the Dentist
Today is my first dentist appointment.
I really do not want to go.
My mom says，“You must go to keep your teeth healthy.”
The dentist‘s office is nice.
There are lots of toys to play with.
A toy train chugs on the floor.
“Choo！Choo！”
The nurse calls，“Bob.”
I cry because I am scared.
The nice nurse smiles and says,
“It will be all right！”
The dentist smiles at me.
He lets me ride up and down in the chair.
This is fun!
“Now，let‘s look at your teddy bear’s teeth.”
I look at my teddy bear‘s teeth，too.
On the ceiling is a TV.
I watch a cartoon show.
The dentist brushes and cleans my teeth.
The cartoon show is over,now.
The dentist is done,too.
“It was not so bad.”
The nice nurse gives me a toy surprise!
My teddy bear gets a sticker,too.
Now,I like going to the dentist.
My teddy bear does,too!

一个玩具火车在地板上发出轧轧声。
“呜！呜！”
护士叫道，“鲍勃。”
我哭了，因为我害怕。
漂亮的护士笑着说，“一切都会好的！”
牙医冲着我笑。
他让我在椅子上上上下下。
这很有意思！
“现在，让我们看看你的玩具熊的牙齿。”
我也看玩具熊的牙齿。
在天花板上是一台电视。
我看到了动画片。
牙医刷洗我的牙齿。
动画片现在结束了。
牙医也做完了。
“不是很糟糕。”
漂亮的护士给我一个玩具作为惊喜！

How a Colt Crossed the River
One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill. As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, “Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?” The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high.
The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down fron a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop! You’ll drown! One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mum.
He told his mum his experience on the way. His mother said, “My child, don’t always listen to others. You’d better go and try yourself. Then you’ll know what to do.” Later, at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again. “Little horse, it’s too dangerous!” “No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully.
You see, real knowledge comes from practice.

小马过河
一天，一匹小马驮着麦子去磨坊。当它驮着口袋向前跑去时，突然发现一条小河挡住了去路。小马为难了，这可怎么办呢？它向四周望了望，看见一头奶牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛阿姨，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗？”奶牛回答说：“水很浅，刚到膝盖。”
小马正准备过河，突然从树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河！你会被淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就在这条河里淹死啦！”小马不知如何是好，于是决定回家问问妈妈。
小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦？”小马说：“让我自己试试吧。”他一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。
这下明白了吧，实践才能出真知
