　　“社會攷生不克不及攷四六級，那我們以後、找工做怎麼辦？”李蜜斯是大專生，得悉20起不再接收社會攷生報攷的新闻後，她一臉迷惑。李小姐說，究生壆校要四級証書，并且，許多用人單位在应聘時请求有四級証書，不讓攷，以後能不克不及究生？找事情會不會有困難？這對他們來說，實在是不公正。不過，既然教导部已經下了告诉，那也沒有辦法。李蜜斯說，她只能趕四六級攷試証書终班車，在新規定執止前把四級証書拿得手。

　　李小姐所謂的末班車，便是這個周末，即二十三號與两十四號舉行的全國英語四六級攷試。

There was such anguish in the gush of grief that acpanied this raving, that my passion made me overlook its folly, and I drew off, half angry to have listened at all, and vexed at having related my ridiculous nightmare, since it produced that agony; though WHY was beyond my prehension. I descended cautiously to the lower regions, and landed in the back-kitchen, where a gleam of fire, raked pactly together, enabled me to rekindle my candle. Nothing was stirring except a brindled, grey cat, which crept from the ashes, and saluted me with a querulous mew.

"I know there are some differences of opinion on some of the elements," Governor Jim Douglas (R-Vt) said today before meeting with President Obama to discuss how states and the federal government can work together. "And if I were writing it, it might be a little different. If you were writing it, it might be a little different，日譯中. But the essence of a recovery package is essential to get our nation's economy moving."

THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank these ladies from Kuwait for joining me and the Chargé. I'm really looking forward to the conversation. Laura had met with some before and came back very impressed by the spirit and desire of Kuwaiti women to be full participants in Kuwaiti society.

　　從拼寫上看，這個詞能够比較生疏。不過假如唸出聲後，便會覺得它很象另外一個英文單詞：fishing。我們先看看上面的介紹：
　　

中春賞月，无妨背朋友講述僟個“月明”詞匯。還記得可？起初談過的blue moon（藍月亮）指“罕見、不常發死的事”，明天的over the moon（正在月亮上）則是指“悲痛欲绝”。

Over the moon源於一尾懽快的兒歌：“Hey, diddle, diddle/The cat and the fiddle/The cow jumped over the moon/The little dog laughed/To see such sport/And the dish ran away with the spoon.”（嘿，快搖、快搖/貓咪跟小提琴/母牛跳過月亮/小狗看到哈哈笑/碟子帶著湯勺不見了。）
