[English]美国习惯用语(二十三)

网上资源,  外语 Lee 发表于 2006/3/14 11:36:27 To take candy from a baby 　　 A piece of cake 　　 　　一般人在做任何事情的时候总是想找捷径，越容易越好，这似乎是人的本性。因此，在英语里有不少成语和俗语是形容办事很容易的。其中之一就是：To take candy from a baby。Candy就是吃的糖，baby在中文里就是小孩。To take candy from a baby的意思就是：某件事情很容易办成，就像把孩子手里的糖拿来一样。请听下面这个例子： 　　 　　例句-1: "Getting grandmother to loan me the money was as easy as taking candy from a baby." 　　 　　这个人说：“要我祖母借我那笔钱那简直是太容易了。” 　　 　　 　　我们再来举一个例子吧。这是一个被关在监狱里的犯人在和牢房里另一个犯人说话： 　　 　　例句-2: "Louey told us that robbing this bank

[English]美国习惯用语(二十二)

网上资源,  外语 Lee 发表于 2006/3/12 12:25:20 To twist someone's arm 　　 To charge someone an arm and a leg 　　 　　今天我们要讲的两个习惯用语是由 arm，也就是手臂和leg，也就是腿这两个字组成的。我们要介绍的第一个词汇是：To twist someone's arm。Twist是拧，用力扭转的意思。一个人要是给别人把手臂拧到身后去那是很难受的。To twist someone's arm这个习惯用语的意思也正是如此，它是指给某人施加压力，迫使他做你要他做的事。下面这个例子是一个学生说的话： 　　 　　例句-1: "I didn't want see that movie about Mozart, but my roomate twisted my arm. I'm glad he did -- it was a great show." 　　 　　他说：“我本来不想去看那个有关莫扎特的电影的。可是，我同房间的同学硬逼着要我去。不过，看了电影后我倒很高兴，因为那个电影太好了。” 　　 　　这个学

[English]美国习惯用语(二十一)

网上资源,  外语 Lee 发表于 2006/3/10 10:47:02 To shake a leg 　　 To pull one's leg 　　 　　美国的成语和俗语,也和其他语言一样,有许多都是由身体各个部份的名称组成的。例如：To follow your nose是指“一直走”。另外还有：To play by ear，意思是看着办。其他还有用hand 和foot这些字组成的习惯用语。 　　 　　在这次节目里我们要向大家介绍由腿，也就是leg这个字组成的习惯用语。中文里也有许多和腿这个字有关的俗语,像拉后腿、飞毛腿等。我们今天要讲的第一个习惯用语是：To shake a leg。Shake的意思是“摇动”。 Leg当然是指腿。你可能已经猜到，to shak a leg就是赶快行动的意思。 　　 　　举个例子来说吧，一个妈妈对儿子说： 　　 　　例句-1: "Come on, shake a leg, son, or you're going to be late for school." 　　这个妈妈说：“儿子，你快点儿吧！否则你上学要迟到了！”

[Semantic Web]Ontology Library Systems

读书笔记 Lee 发表于 2006/3/8 23:47:30 Ontology library systems are an important tool in grouping and re-organizing ontologies for further re-use, integration, maintenance, mapping and versioning. Basically it is a library system that offers various functions for managing, adapting and standardizing groups of ontologies. It should be easily accessible and offer efficient support for re-using existing relevant ontologies and standardizing them based on upper-level ontologies and ontology representation languages.

[Semantic Web]Changes in Ontologies

读书笔记 Lee 发表于 2006/3/8 23:35:40 According to Gruber (1993), an ontology is a specification of a conceptualization of a domain. Hence, changes in ontologies can be caused by either: changes in the domain; changes in the conceptualization; changes in the specification. Changes in the conceptualization are also happening frequently. It is important to realize that a shared conceptualization of a domain – which is a requirement for information exchange – is not a static specification that is produced once
