食人鱼---看似凶险，实则胆小？
"Vicious" piranhas are really wimpsAccording to a recent scientific study, despite their fearsome reputation, piranhas are wimps that gather in large groups to protect themselves from predators.
Rather than aggressive killers, research shows piranhas are omnivorous scavengers, eating mainly fish, plants and insects.
Piranhas face constant attack from predators including river dolphins, a relative of the crocodile known as caiman, and bigger fish.
Scientists said piranhas’ cautious behavīor is crucial to avoid being eaten. It’s primarily a defensive behavīor.

食人鱼历来以凶险著称，但最近的一期科学研究显示，其实食人鱼也是本性比较懦弱胆小，他们大批聚集在一起，主要是为了自我保护。
piranha - The piranhas or pira?as are a group of carnivorous freshwater fish living in South American rivers. In Venezuelan rivers they are called caribes.

尽管食人鱼尖牙利齿，凶悍无比，可是，天敌，如鳄鱼、河豚、水蛇等。而且，在千百年的进化过程中，许多水中动物都有了对付食人鱼的本领，比如有些鱼浑身长满了刺，使食人鱼不敢轻举妄动。也许正是由于这些原因，凶猛的食人鱼才没有在巴西肆意繁衍蔓延，保持了生态的平衡。Scientists said piranhas’ cautious behavīor is crucial to avoid being eaten. It’s primarily a defensive behavīor.

Legends of the Fall III
Dear Susannah: The horror of this place is indescribable. Nothing is as I thought it would be.
Keep your distance! Keep your spacing!
Tonight, as I prayed for the souls of those who died so terribly...yet so bravely...I admit that I also prayed for personal glory. Is that wrong to want to distinguish myself gloriously... in combat as my father did? Tristan and Alfred watch over me so carefully... I may never get the opportunity.
Charge!
God damn it!
- Where are you hit?
- It's just a scratch.
Susannah, I see now... not that my father was right, but that I was naive.
- Let me up, damn it!
- Stay down!
Fall back!
Still, we place our bodies in God's keeping. We go into battle honorably...full of confidence...with His name on our lips.
- We're pinned here.
- We'll wait.
- Give him a hand.
- Help him down.
Goddamn.
Susannah: I try to guard against despair... but there are moments when it seems that all human decency is broken down. Alfred will recover from his wounds...but he and Tristan seem to have drifted apart, or worse. I cannot understand it. I miss you more than you can imagine. You are all that is clean and cool and pure. I close my eyes and think of you. I now regret that we listened to everyone and waited to marry. Even more, I regret that I left before we could be together... as we planned, my beloved. Please stay on at the ranch and wait for me. Don 't let Father worry. I know God's mercy will protect me... aided considerably by Tristan... who seems to be in France less to fight the Germans... than to act as my nursemaid. Be well, my love. Your own, Samuel.“The horror of this place is indescribable. Nothing is as I thought it would be.”
Indescribable
Impossible to describe: 无法形容的“Is that wrong to want to distinguish myself gloriously... in combat as my father did?”

The Legends of the Fall 燃情岁月/秋日传奇
Clip 1
Some people hear their own inner voices... with great clearness... and they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy... or they become legends. Tristan Ludlow was born in the Moon of the Falling Leaves. It was a terrible winter. His mother almost died bringing him into this world. His father, the Colonel, brought him to me. I wrapped him in a bearskin and held him all that night. As he grew into a man...I taught him the great joy of the kill...when the hunter cuts out its warm heart and holds it in his hands...setting its spirit free. Colonel Ludlow had three sons...but Tristan was his favorite. I had had sons too. But they were gone now... forever. It was a very bad time. The Colonel had tried to help the People... but it was no use. So he decided to go his own way. He wanted to lose the madness over the mountains, he said... and begin again.
"Lose the madness, "he said. And so we lived for many years... and the boys grew strong. Alfred was the older brother... old even for his years. Samuel was the youngest. There was nothing these brothers would not do for him. They watched over him like a treasure. One year--I am an old man and cannot remember the year. But it was the Moon of the Red Grass... when Isabel Ludlow, their mother... went away for the winter. She said the winters were too cruel for her. She said she was afraid of the bears. She was a strange woman anyway. That spring, though, she did not return. And, after that, she did not come much to see us. Alfred wrote her many letters... but Tristan refused to speak of her. His world was here with me. Every warrior hopes a good death will find him... but Tristan couldn't wait. He went looking for his.“I wrapped him in a bearskin and held him all that night.” 我用熊皮把他包起来。

日本大胃王下颚受重伤料难参加下月吃热狗大赛
A Japanese man who set a world record by eating dozens of hot dogs within minutes has suffered a severe jaw injury due to his rigorous training, making his next title uncertain.

In an entry on his blog entitled "Occupational hazard," Kobayashi said his jaw refused to fight any more.
The injury occurred only a week after he started training to win his seventh straight title at the annual hot dog eating event.
He said he feels ashamed that he couldn’t notice the alarm bells set off by his own body. He was continuing his training and bearing with the pain but finally he destroyed his jaw.

Goal II: Living the Dream IV
If you leave a message, we'll call you back.
Hey, it's me. You know I'm not good at this, but before I go out tonight and play the biggest game of my life, I wanted to call you because I need you to hear me out. Everything has turned inside out since I came here. And all this money......I don't need it. Without you it's nothing. I finally met my mom. It's still hard to take in. It'll take a long time. But I think it might be fine now. I won't make excuses for what I've done. All I can say is I'm just so sorry for treating you like I did and for pushing you away. I've been a total jerk. I know I took my eye off the ball, but I want to make things right. I love you. Please call me. And, well, let me know if I can see you. I just want a second chance.
This is it, quite simply the biggest club game on the planet. Champions League final. Real Madrid against Arsenal and it's in the Bernabeu. Real Madrid feeling it's destiny to get their name on this trophy yet again in their own back yard. What a galaxy of stars we've got on show here. So many match winners on show, Bill. I wonder which one will be the one to take that trophy home. Will it be Thierry Henry, Fabregas, or TJ Harper? Look at Real Madrid, so many fine players: Beckham, Zidane, and, of course, the inform Gavin Harris. You listen to me. You watch yourself.
“Everything has turned inside out since I came here.” 自从我来到这里后，一切矛盾都爆发了
Turn inside out反常，衣服返穿
to wear sweater inside out 把衣服穿反了“I finally met my mom. It's still hard to take in. It'll take a long time.” 我后来去见了我的妈妈，还是有点难以接受 还需要时间来接受
Take in

Take one's eye of the ball : Lose your sight on your target 迷失了我的方向
To keep one's eye on the ball是集中精力的意思(这个常用语原先是来自球类运动,如网球、高尔夫球、垒球等。你一定要把眼睛看准了才能打到这些球。)
Eye opener
一个是表示惊奇，就像下面这个女子所表达的情绪：
另一意思是：开阔了眼界。请听下面这个例子： Seeing those color films the astronauts took off the earth on their flight to the moon was certainly an eye-opener. I never realized how beautiful and how lonely our planet looks hanging there in space.
“看到宇航员在登上月球时拍的那些有关地球的彩色照片真是开了眼界。我从来也不知道我们的地球在空间是这么美丽、这么孤单。”“Look at Real Madrid, so many fine players: Beckham, Zidane, and, of course, the inform Gavin Harris.” 再看看皇马的超级阵容，贝克汉姆 齐达内
当然也少不了著名的加文.哈里斯“Real Madrid feeling it's destiny to get their name on this trophy yet again in their own back yard.” 皇马队对在主场赢得冠军信心满满
Trophy
A prize or memento, such as a cup or plaque, received as a symbol of victory, especially in sports.奖品，奖杯0438
0700
Keep your head above water 避免麻烦 Stay out of trouble, especially financial difficulties; also, keep up with work or other demands.
eg:The work's piling up, but I manage to keep my head above water.
Note：
Keep your head above water的字面意思是让你的头保持在水面上，这里指避免陷入麻烦，也可以说可以完成某些工作或者满足某些需求。
例：虽然工作堆积如山，我还是能游刃有余。

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. "I can't hear a word!" I said angrily.
"It's none of your business," the young man said rudely. "This is a private conversation!"
参考译文上星期我去看戏。我的座位很好，戏很有意思，但我却无法欣赏。一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后，大声地说着话。我非常生气，因为我听不见演员在说什么。我回过头去怒视着那一男一女，他们却毫不理会。最后，我忍不住了，又一次回过头去，生气地说：“我一个字也听不见了！”
“不关你的事，”那男的毫不客气地说，“这是私人间的谈话！”【New words and expressions】 生词和短语
★private adj.私人的
如果妈妈想看你的信, 你可以说 : It's my private letter.
如果陌生人想进你的房子, 你可以说 : It's my private house.
private life 私生活
由此引申出privacy n.隐私 : private life 私生活
It’s privacy.这是我的隐私!(不愿让别人知道的)
新东方是private school(私立学校), 与此相反, 公立学校是public school.所以, private的反义词是public.
eg.public 公众; public letter 公开信; public place 公共场所
private还有一个值得注意的意思 : 普通的.
如 : private citizen 普通公民:I’m a private citizen.
private soldier 大兵;
我们熟悉的《拯救大兵瑞恩》就是《Private Ryan》
★conversation n.谈话
subject of conversation : 话题(天气是英国人最喜爱的话题)
几种谈话 :
1、talk 内容可正式可不正式, 也可以私人 : Let’s have a talk.
2、conversation 一般用于正式文体中, 内容上往往不正式: They are having a conversation.
3、dialogue 对话, 可以指正式国家与国家会谈 :
4、chat 闲聊, 就是北京人说的 “侃” , 说的是无关紧要的事.
5、gossip 嚼舌头, 说长道短
have a + talk/chat/dialogue/conversation/gossip 名词变动词
★seat n.座位
这个词很重要, 考试常考.
have a good seat,这里的seat指place(指地点不错), 而不是chair.
take a seat/take your seat 坐下来, 就坐
下面这个句子在口语、电影里很常见 : Is the seat taken?(这个位置有人吗?)
考点 : 作为动词的seat与sit的区别
sit--vi; seat—vt
eg: He is sitting there.他住在那儿.
You seat him.你给他找个位置.
seat sb 让某人就坐,后面会加人
eg: seat yourselft.
Seat him.
★play n.戏
★loudly adv. 大声的
★angry adj. 生气的
cross=angry ; I was angry.He was cross.
annoyed: 恼火的;
度 I was angry/cross.
加 I was very angry.
深 be blue in the face : I am blue in the face.(脸色都青了, 相当生气了)
★bear(bore,borne) v. 容忍
