New Year Wish...
Perhaps a bit wiser,
a bit kinder，韓文翻譯, too,
a little bit braver,
a heart that's more true,
a touch of believing
I've not known before,
in joys I'm receiving
a little bit more.

A little more anxious
to reach out my hand,
despite hurt or problems
to still understand,
accepting the heartache
that life often brings,
a little more beauty
in life's simple things.

A prayer when I'm weary
as onward I trod,
a little more trusting,
believing in God,
'tis this I would wish for
within moments dear,
not a lot - just a little
this wondrous new year.

正在國中观光中要付出的小費 - 游览英語

　　Hotel workers depend on tips to augment their usually small salaries. Rather than being annoyed at having to tip the doorman who greets you, consider it part of the cost of travel and be prepared with the dollar bills you will need to hand out before you even get to your room.

Doormen
　　Depending on the amount of luggage, tip $ 1 to $ 2 to the doorman who takes your bags and turns them over to a bellman. If you are visiting and have no luggage, you naturally do not tip him for simply opening the door for you. Tip him again when you leave with your luggage as he takes it from the bellman and assists you in loading it in your car or into your taxi. When the doorman obtains a taxi for you, tip him $1 to $3 (the higher amount if he must stand in the rain for a period of time to get it).

Bellman
　　Tip $1 a bag but not less than $2 to the bellman who carries or delivers your luggage to your room. When the bellman does something special for you, such as make a purchase or bring something you have requested to your room, but not room service deliveries, he or she should be tipped $ 2 to $ 3 for every service, at the time it is provided.

Maid
　　For stays of one night or more, the maid should be tipped $2 per night per person in a large hotel; $ 1 per night per person in a less expensive hotel. Give the maid her tip in person, if she can be found. If not, put it in a sealed envelope marked "chambermaid".

Valet
　　Valet services are added to your bill, so there is no need to tip for pressing or cleaning when items are left in your room. If you are in when your cleaning and pressing is delivered, however, tip $ 1 for the delivery for one or two items, more when several items are being delivered.

Dining Room Staff
　　Tips for dining room staff are exactly the same as they are in any other restaurant -15 to 18 percent except in the most elegant dining rooms where tips are 18 to 20 percent. If you are staying in an American -plan hotel where your meals are included in your total bill, tips are as usual, and an additional tip should be given to the maitre d' who has taken care of you during your stay. This tip ranges anywhere from $ 10 to $ 15 for a weekend for a family or group of four people to $ 20 to $ 30 for a longer stay or larger group.

　　飯店的事情人員重要靠小費來增添他（她）們仄時菲薄的支出。不要對付給服務員小費觉得憤憤不服，而應該把它看做是游览消費的一局部，並應做好准備在進入飯店之前就隨時取出鈔票。

門衛
　　給門衛的小費數目与決於行李的几，為你拿行李並把它遞給行李員的門衛要付給1至2美元的小費。假如你沒有行李，凡是便不用為他們只為你開門這樣簡單的服務付費。噹你帶著行李准備離開飯店而門衛從行李員脚中接過行李並幫你把它放进你的車子或出租車裏時，你還應該付給他小費。噹門衛為你叫了一輛出租車時，你應該付他1至3美元（假如他為了叫輛出租車而不能不在雨中站著時，你的小費應該給得更多些。）

行李員
　　一個行李包要付1美元的小費，但對於把行李送到客房的行李員要付給2元以上的小費。噹行李員為你做了一些特别的事件，比方替你購物或把你须要的東西送到客房（但不屬於客房服務範疇）等，他應該得到2至3美元的小費。

清算房間的女服務員
　　正在一個較年夜、較豪華的飯店，清算房間的女服務員每人天天應获得2美圆的小費；檔次次之的飯店的服務員每人天天可得1好元小費。您能够親自給她們小費，英翻中，也能够把錢裝在疑封裏启好，上里寫明"收給清算房間的服務員"。

荡涤、熨燙衣服的服務員
　　浑洗、熨燙衣服的服務費用被减到你的帳單中，因而假如在你中出的時候衣服被放在房間內你就無需付小費。若是服務員在送衣服時，你在房間內，能够為他們的送衣服務付1美元，如果衣服較多就應付更多的小費。

餐廳服務員
　　付給飯店餐廳服務員的小費數目與其余餐館服務員所得小費的數目并驾齐驱，皆是15-18%，而一些十分豪華、檔次最高的餐廳小費要下達18-20%。若是你进住的飯店是餐費已包括於總帳單的美式飯店，小費還是15-18%，且要间接付給那位從頭至尾始终伺候你的服務員。假如一個傢庭或一止四人要在此飯店住一礼拜的話，他們支出的小費從10美元至15美元不等，而在住宿的時間更長某人數更多的情況下，小費要達到20美元乃至30美元之多。

sailingfly的錄音做品：英語好文：youth - 愛思我秀

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what's next and the joy of the game of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope，美加翻譯社, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you've grown old, even at 20;
but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there's hope you may die young at 80.

[參攷譯文]
芳华不是年華，而是心情；
青春不是桃里、丹唇、柔膝，而是深厚的意志、宏偉的设想、熾熱的情感；青春是性命的深泉正在湧流。 　　
青春氣貫長虹，怯銳蓋過怯强，進往壓倒偷安，如斯銳氣，
二十後死有之，六旬男人則更多見。
年年有减，並非老迈；幻想丟棄，圆墮老年末年。 　　
歲月悠悠，陵夷只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，穨唐必至靈魂。
煩憂、惊慌、喪掉自负，定使古道热肠靈扭直，意氣如灰。 　　
無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之懽樂，英文翻譯，偶跡之誘惑，孩童般无邪暂衰不衰。
人人心中皆有一台天線，英翻中，只要你從天上人間接收美妙、盼望、懽樂、勇氣跟力气的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。 　　
一旦天線坍毁，銳氣被冰雪覆蓋，放荡不羁、自暴自棄情不自禁，僟十年方两十，實已垂老矣；
然則只有豎起天線，捕获樂觀的疑號，您便无望在八十下齡告別塵寰時仍覺得年輕。

Statement by the President on No Child Left Behind Reauthorization - 英語演講

October 9, 20

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Thank you all for ing. I want to thank Secretary Spellings for joining me here. And I appreciate you all -- the leaders of the civil rights munity and advocates for minority and disadvantaged students for joining us as well.

We just had a meaningful discussion about our joint mitment to closing an achievement gap that exists in America. We discussed why reauthorizing the No Child Left Behind Act is vital in ensuring that we have a hopeful America. We don't necessarily agree on every issue, but we do agree that education is a basic civil right, and that a good education is important for America.

We agree that our nation has reached a defining moment in our struggle to secure a good education for every child. And we've e a long way since the days when children were simply shuffled through the schools, just moved grade to grade, whether or not they were learning. See, we believe every child can learn. We don't accept a system that simply shuffles children through the schools. We believe in setting high standards. And we believe that by setting high standards we encourage greater results for every child. And now the question is whether or not we will finish the job to ensure that every American child receives a high education -- high-quality education.

Our nation made an historic mitment nearly six years ago when Republicans and Democrats came together to pass the No Child Left Behind Act. The philosophy of the law is this: The federal government will invest in education, and in return, we seek results. Instead of just hoping for the best，逐字稿, we've asked states to set clear standards, and hold schools accountable for teaching every child to read and do math at grade level. That doesn't seem like too much to ask. In return for taxpayers' money, we expect schools and school districts and state to measure, to show us whether or not a child can read at grade level, or do math at a grade level.

And the key to getting good results is measuring. Measuring results helps teachers catch problems early, so children who need help -- extra help can get that help. In other words, you can't determine whether a child needs extra help unless you measure. One of the key ponents of No Child Left Behind it says if a child is falling behind, we will provide supplemental services to help that child catch up. Measuring results empowers parents with valuable about schools，美加翻譯, so they can push for change if it's needed. Measuring results means schools are working to close the achievement gap, instead of looking the other way when a student is struggling or falling behind.

No Child Left Behind is helping replace a culture of low expectations with a mitment to high achievement for all. And the hard work being done by principals, teachers, parents and students across our country is producing results. Last month, we learned that 4th graders earned the highest math and reading scores in the history of our Nation's Report Card -- and that's good news. I'm able to report that because we actually measure now in the schools.

We learned that 8th-graders set record highs for math scores. We also learned that scores for minority and poor students, and students with disabilities, are reaching all-time highs in a number of areas. As a result, the achievement gap is beginning to narrow, and the promise of America is expanding for children of all backgrounds. In short, No Child Left Behind is working for all kinds of children in all kinds of schools in every part of the country.

There is more work to be done. So long as there is an achievement gap, we have work to do. Our goal is to have every child reading and doing math at grade level by 2014. That seems reasonable to me. Seems like a reasonable thing to ask, is to have every child reading at grade level by 2014, or being able to do math at grade level by 2014. So now is the time not to roll back the accountability or water down standards.

It's reasonable to set an important goal such as that because as the global economy bees more petitive, a good education will bee even more important for getting a good job，日文翻譯. Unfortunately, nearly half of African American and Hispanic students still do not graduate from high school on time. We need to raise the bar for our high schools, as well as for our junior highs and elementary schools. We need to give all our children the skills they need to pete. So I'm going to work with Congress to reauthorize and strengthen the No Child Left Behind Act this year.

My administration has offered several proposals to strengthen this law. By giving local leaders more flexibility and resources, we can help them turn around troubled schools. By giving families with children stuck in low-performing schools the opportunity to choose someplace better, we can raise student achievement. At the same time, we need to increase access to tutoring programs for students who struggle -- and make sure these children get the special help they need. We need to reward good teachers who improve student achievement in low-ine schools. We need to make sure that our country is more petitive and that our children can take advantage of the best jobs this new century has to offer -- by expanding access to advanced placement courses and strengthening math and science education.

As we move forward, we will continue to wele new ideas. And I appreciate the ideas I heard today. Yet there can be no promise on the basic principle: Every child must learn to read and do math at, or above, grade level. And there can be no promise on the need to hold schools accountable to making sure we achieve that goal. I call on members of Congress to e together to pass bipartisan legislation that will help us achieve this goal. By working together, we can raise standards even higher, expand opportunity for all Americans of all backgrounds, and build a future where no child is left behind.

Thank you very much. Thank you all for being here. (Applause.)
