👠盛夏上班族的著裝禁忌👠
如果說女性是這個世界的半邊天，那麼女性上班族則是整片天空下靚麗的彩虹。每日上下班高峰的時候，隨處可見女性上班族們充滿自信的步伐與大方明豔的衣著，穿行於人海之間，著實形成了一道道奪目的風景。然而，既然是上班族，在衣著上就應注重細節，不可隨意搭配。想知道上班族的著裝禁忌嗎？那就是吊帶衫+夾指涼拖（人字拖）。
Shopping for summer clothes to wear to work? Forget the tank tops and lose the flip-flops.
上班族們開始夏裝大採購了嗎？吊帶衫和夾指涼拖還是不要考慮了。
👜A new survey showed tank tops and visible underwear are the biggest fashion faux pas on the job, according to Monster, an online job and recruiting site, which compiled more than 18,000 responses to an online poll.
據就業招聘網站Monster的一項最新線上調查表明，吊帶衫和清晰可見的內衣是工作場合的穿衣大忌。這一調查結果由Monster根據1萬8千多個回答彙編而成。
Flip-flop sandals weighed in next on the list of fashion mistakes, followed by Hawaiian prints and shorts, it said.
調查顯示，夾指涼拖為工作場合的第二大穿衣禁忌，夏威夷印染衫和短褲名列其後。
👜What you wear at work speaks volumes, said Norma Gaffin, director of content at Monster, based in Maynard, Massachusetts.
位於麻塞諸塞州梅納德的Monster網站的內容總監諾瑪•加芬說，上班時的穿著很重要。
"Do you want to look like you're 14? How seriously are people going to take you if they can see your bra? Or if you're wearing flip-flops, and they can hear you walking down the hall before you get there?" she said.
她說：“你想讓自己看起來還像是14歲？如果別人看見了你的胸罩，他們會怎麼看你？如果你穿著夾指拖，人還沒到，聲音就到了，那又將是什麼結果？”
👜"If you want more responsibility and more autonomy, you're going to be taken more seriously if you're dressing appropriately," she said.
“如果你想被予以更多重任、擁有更多自主權，那麼得體的穿著則會讓你顯得更加莊重。”

🎁 中英文稿：
The news last month that gravitational waves had been discovered made waves throughout the world of science. The finding, from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, showed that extreme gravity can cause ripples in space time. In the case studied, the extreme gravity came from two colliding black holes. Now one scientist is suggesting an added wrinkle—that those two black holes might have originated in a single star.
上個月，引力波的發現在科學界引發了波瀾。從鐳射干涉引力波天文臺觀測到的結果顯示，極限條件下的引力波能夠造成時空波動。相關研究顯示，極限重力來自於兩個碰撞的黑洞。現在，有一個科學家正在建議增加一項背景條件——那就是這兩個相關的黑洞也許起源於同一顆恒星。
“The situation is similar to a pregnant woman that has twin babies in her belly.” Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He’s proposing the idea in a paper that’s been accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
這好比一個懷著雙胞胎的孕婦。哈佛-史密松天體物理中心物理學家艾維•勞埃伯說到。他的上述觀點所在的文章將會發表在《天體物理通訊》雜誌。
Loeb became suspicious because just 0.4 seconds after LIGO spotted the gravitational waves, a space telescope called Fermi glimpsed a bright flash of gamma-ray light in the same area of the sky.
正式因為在LIGO觀測結果中顯示出的引力波之後那0.4秒鐘的資料，讓他產生了一些懷疑。當時Fermi的天文望遠鏡快速觀測到了當時天空中同一區域上一閃而過的伽瑪射線。
“Detecting such a signal is quite surprising from a collision of two black holes. What could be the source of a flash of light following a black hole merger?”
在兩個相撞的黑洞區域能觀測到這樣一個光信號著實讓人感到驚訝。是什麼物質能夠從黑洞中能發出的閃光?
Colliding black holes should not produce such light—but the death of a very massive star could.

◈ 托福寫作技巧：詳解托福寫作多樣化表達的策略 ◈
在托福寫作過程中，詞彙使用的貧乏是讓很多初入托福備考學生的一個提分難點。無論怎樣的一篇文章，“認為”就是think;每逢“因為”就是because，“意識到”就是realize，“想到”就是think of。其實，想要讓自己的文章內容充實，詞彙也並不是唯一的突破點，下面我們就來談談托福寫作多樣化表達策略方法。
◈ 句子多樣性
單調的句式和結構、長度相近的句子使作文呆板單調，缺乏生動性和說服力;而靈活多變的句子樣式和結構則使作文語言生動，自然流暢，豐富多彩。具體包括以下幾個方面：
◈ 長短句變換：簡單句、並列句和複合句交替運用
長句準確生動，長於說明推理;短句簡潔明快，意義明確，印象深刻，描述動作，表明主旨，總結歸納，非短句不可。既然各有所長，在寫作時應根據實際需要，交替使用簡單句、並列句和複合句，以達到“段間長短不一，全篇句式萬千”、豐富多樣的效果，給讀者以及閱卷老師以永恆的新鮮感。
◈ 結構多樣化：我們學過非謂語動詞結構(包括不定式結構和分詞結構)，無動詞結構，分隔結構，比較結構，獨立結構，with複合結構，特殊否定結構，it結構，平行結構，強調結構，倒裝結構，等等。其中最為神通廣大的是非動詞結構，在句中或作主詞、受詞，或作主詞補語、受詞補足語，或作形容詞片語修飾名詞，或作副詞表示條件、原因、讓步、時間、方式、目的、結果、伴隨狀況等，不一而足。
非動詞結構可以簡化大部分英語子句，產生語言簡練，結構豐富多樣的效果，請看下列轉化實例：
◈ 名詞子句可轉化為非動詞結構
1. That John won the marathon surprised us.
John’s winning the Marathon surprised us.
2. I have not decided whether I should vote for Clint.
I have not decided whether to vote for Clint.
◈ 形容詞片語子句可轉化為非動詞結構

愚人節到底是怎麼來的呢？ 🐍 🐍
In sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April first. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, and the new year fell on January first. There were some people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April first. Others played tricks on them and called them April fools. In France today, April first is called Poisson d'Avril. French children fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs. When the young fool discovers this trick, the prankster yells Poisson d'Avril!
✠ 愚人節16 世紀的時候，法國人是在4月1號慶祝新年的。他們那時候過新年的方法和我們現在幾乎一樣，人們設宴、跳舞直到深夜。到了1562年，教皇格裡高利頒佈了基督教新曆，按照新曆，新年這一天改到了1月1號。但是，有些人沒能聽說或者聽說了但不相信新年改天了。他們還是按照老習慣在4月1號這天過年。其他人就拿 他們開玩笑，把他們叫做“愚人”。如今，法國人把愚人節叫做“上鉤的魚”。法國孩子會在朋友的背上貼一條魚，以此來戲弄別人。當那個受騙上當的小朋友發現 以後，開玩笑的人就大叫“上鉤的魚兒”!
Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on the first of April. One common trick on April Fool's Day, or All Fool's Day, is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, Your shoe lace is untied. School children might tell a classmate that school has been cancelled. Whatever the trick, if the innocent victim falls for the joke the prankster yells, April Fool!
✠ 如今，每逢愚人節，不管對方是否相識，美國人都會開些小玩笑。在愚人節比較常見的把戲是指著別人的鞋子說：“你鞋帶沒系。”學生可能會騙同學說學校放假了。不管是什麼樣的招數，只要那個無辜的受害者中技了，惡作劇的人就會尖叫：“愚人!”
Most April Fool jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The most clever April Fool joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played. American humorist Mark Twain has said that the first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year。
✠ 愚人節開的玩笑基本都是挺逗人的，沒什麼惡意。最高明的愚人節玩笑能讓在場的每個人都捧腹大笑，即使是那個被作弄的人也會忍俊不禁。正如美國幽默作家馬克吐溫所說的“只有在四月的第一天，我們才記起在過去一年的364天中我們是多麼的愚蠢”。
Other people say it's just a continuation of a festival in honor of the Celtic god of Mirth but most popular belief is that it's a reaction to the change in season and the start of spring. Whatever its origin, making fools of people on this day remains one of the most flourishing of all British customs。
✠ 另一種說法認為，愚人節只是為了向凱爾特的歡樂之神致敬而流傳下來的一個節日。不過，大多數人相信，愚人節標誌著季節的變化和春天的來臨。不管起源如何，愚人節當天的愚人活動已經成了一項盛行於英國的風俗了。
In Scotland, for example, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance。
✠ 在蘇格蘭，人們會用兩天時間慶祝愚人節。第二天是專門讓人們去捉弄別人的，你可以在這一天去踢別人的屁股。這天被稱為“續愚人節”，而在別人後背上貼上“踢我”的標籤就起源於此。
