The Australian obsession with the yeast extract spread suggests a patriotism pleasingly free of pomposity.




We're not privy to what William Hague packs in his diplomatic bag but venture there are no Yorkshire puddings in there. But for his Australian counterpart, Kevin Rudd, there is one taste of home it doesn't do to travel without. The former (and conceivably future) prime minister this week came a cropper at American customs, where officials puzzled over his Vegemite jar; he joked ministerial interventions were needed to prevent confiscation. Don't imagine this is a mere eccentricity of the famously geeky Rudd: it is a shared national obsession, as evidenced by the prime minister, Julia Gillard, having discussed it with Barack Obama earlier this year. The president judged it "horrible", by the way, reacting as half the population is said to do to its close cousin Marmite. If anything, the latter is the better yeast extract: the only difference in the ingredients is Vegemite's caramel colouring, while its texture veers towards Nutella, which fits oddly with the savoury taste. But you wouldn't know it from talking to Aussies. Far from invoking an imaginary army of Vegemite haters in the way that Marmite does, the marketing traditionally assumed straightforward affection, with smiling children being "happy little Vegemites". For whatever reason, however, this gloopy sludge is splodged at the pinnacle of the pyramid of national cultural emblems, alongside Edna Everage. And, like the cross-dressing comic, the worship of a yeast derivative suggests a patriotism that is pleasingly free of pomposity.

psychologist心理学家。不过，中文里面成名成家的人通常都有很大成就才称其为**家，这个职业就译为心理学家，哪怕只是没几年经验的年青从业者。
psychic通灵师 -- 通常就是持子之手，跟你说你死去的什么人有些什么话要跟你讲，大概跟中国传统文化里跳大神的巫婆是同事。

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology.
In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make?
Has this become a positive or negative development?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.


Tremendous changes has taken place in communication between people. Instead of writing letter, or making phone call, more efficient ways have come about like sending email, chatting on-line as well as video call. It is the new technology that provide people with such abundant options that even human lifestyle is experiencing amazing changes.
One can not fail to notice that life nowadays is much different from decades ago. In the past, post offices and telephone service providers played indispensable roles in people's communication. Without them, interaction between people in different places were impossible. Yet it is not the case any longer. Information can be sent to multiple targets in no time. Friends' images are always available as long as people get access to internet service. Without worrying about phone bills no more, phone call can be made via internet for free. Modern people are so spoiled that they would definitely find it impossible to accustom themselves to life back to a couple of decades ago.
Modern technology has changed the world so much that everyone benefit from it. First above all, thanks to technology, communication become so efficient that information can be spread around the world at once. Not only can people speak to or see their friends in an instant, but they can interact with many people in the same time. Furthermore, to realize all functions mentioned above, they need to pay much less than imagined. As long as internet access is granted, a huge number of free options are available. Moreover, the technology is still developing at tremendous speed that the world is getting smaller and the life is made easier.
Life is better due to new technology. It has changed people's life dramatically and has brought about great benefit to all mankind.

美语怎么说017讲: 人脉

Donny在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是方方要问的：人脉。

Donny: 方方，听说你找到一个特好的实习？

FF: 还不错啦! 现在竞争激烈，多亏我人脉广! 对了，美语里“人脉”怎么说啊？

Donny: I think you can use the word "connection". c-o-n-n-e-c-t-i-o-n, connection.

FF: 原来connection 就是“人脉”。那我说自己路子野，人脉广，就是 I have a lot of connections. 对么？

Donny: That's right. 你还可以说：I'm well-connected. c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d, connected。

FF: connected? 这词儿我知道，意思是“连在一起”，所以well-connected就是和很多人连在一起，也就是人脉广喽!

Donny: Right! Connections are important. 有人说，找工作时，What really counts is not what you know, but who you know.

FF: "Not what you know but who you know?" 不是看你知道什么，而是看你认识谁？ 我觉得，也不能这么绝对! 关系固然重要，但自己还是要有真本事!

Donny: Certainly! So it should be "what you know plus who you know"!

FF: 对，肚子里有学问，人脉又广，二者结合在一起，你就无敌了。不过，像我这种刚出校门的，社交能力还不行，需要磨炼!

Donny: Don't worry. You'll have plenty of time to work on your networking skills.

FF: 哦，networking skills 就是社交技巧。

Donny: Right. With strong networking skills, you'll develop more connections. 到时候，我找工作可得靠你帮忙了!

FF: 哈哈，我期待这一天!

Donny: 先别美! Tell me what you've learned today!

FF: 第一，"人脉"在美语里就是 connection；第二，形容"人脉广"用 well-connected；第三，社交技巧， 是 networking skills!

美语怎么说015讲: 窜红

Donny 在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是吴琼要问的：窜红。

Donny: Wuqiong，你看什么杂志呢, and who's the girl on the cover?

WQ: 这是最新一期的时尚周刊。这个女生现在可红了。你肯定猜不到，她是我高中时的好朋友! 拍了一部电影，一下就窜红了!

Donny: No kidding! Introduce her to me! 对了，你说她“窜红”，什么意思啊？

WQ: 就是红得很快，suddenly 她就 famous了!

Donny: I got it. She became famous overnight.

WQ: overnight，我知道，o-v-e-r-n-i-g-h-t, overnight 就是一夜之间。To become famous overnight 就是“一夜成名”!

Donny: That's right. You can also say "she's an instant hit". Instant is spelled i-n-s-t-a-n-t, hit is spelled h-i-t.

WQ: 哦，说一个人火速窜红还可以用 an instant hit.

Donny: Yeah. In the case of this old friend of yours, you can say "her exceptional performance in the new movie made her an instant hit."

WQ: 对，我这个同学特别会演戏，电影一出来，她马上就窜红了。

Donny: WQ, I just thought of another way to put it---She catapulted to fame with her first movie!

WQ: cata 什么？怎么拼？

Donny: catapult, c-a-t-a-p-u-l-t, catapult, 有“弹弓”的意思，as a verb, it means to launch.

WQ: 我明白了，catapult 是弹弓，所以 catapult to fame， 就是“一炮而红”! 我这个朋友演了一部电影就红了，所以说 She catapulted to fame with her first movie.

Donny: That's right! Now, WQ, tell me what you've learned today!

WQ: 第一，to become famous overnight，一夜成名；第二，to be an instant hit, 火速窜红；第三：to catapult to fame， 就是“一炮而红”!
