The Internet gossip

In the vivid picture, a person describes a bird-like creature to another person, who quickly spread this message through Internet along with imagination and exaggeration. The online message, traveling from one person to another, evolved into a sensational story about a man witnessed a great dinosaur.

What an interesting picture it is, however, the picture also warns us that in the Internet era, people should learn verify the truth of the hearsay. The history of gossip is as long as human beings itself, while, no age can parallel the Internet age in speed, range of spreading rumors. Advanced network tools, including BBS, MSN, chatting room, make it convenient to talk with remote friends, But at the same time, accelerate the diffusion of rumors. What’s more, a lot of people couldn’t identify the reality they heard or just believe it without thinking.

To control the disruptive influence of online gossip, on the one hand, we should improve the ability of indentify what is right in the hearsay and spread the message without over-exaggeration; on the other hand, the supervision department should strengthen the punishment to those people who intentional spread rumors. Only through the both efforts can we create a civilized , friendly Internet environment.

使动词,动形容词

一类特立独行的词——使动词

英语江湖中,有一个简单却传奇般的问题,如分辨下面的两句:
YOS is interesting.(YOS 是个很有趣的人,重在外人的感觉。)
YOS is interested.(YOS 感到感到,重点在于自己的感觉。)
*注:YOS为“黄老鞋”英文(Yellow Old Shoes)之简称。

曾经各路神仙进行过辨析,比如说哪个用于描述人,哪个又多用于描述物,等等等等。一则难记,二则如上所示,两个句子都是描述黄老鞋这个人,毫无问题。——此说不得要领!
其实这个问题涉及到一类动词,其用法稍有独特处。待老鞋解剖之,则不但上面这个小问题,还有一堆相关问题,自可迎刃而解。
此类动词,谓之“使动词”。

一、 感觉类动词往往是使动词,意为“使……怎样”
若问surprise是什么意思,答曰:惊奇。其实作动词的时候,其意思是“使……惊奇”,永远是及物动词。所以,
√It surprised me. 它使我惊奇。
×I surprised. 我很惊奇。
而这样的词绝非个例,我们经常见到。老鞋法眼瞧处,发现:
感觉类的动词往往是使动词。
如excite, interest, satisfy, puzzle, upset, disgust, bore等。
上面的词,要说成“使/令……兴奋/感兴趣/满意/迷惑/烦恼/恶心/乏味”。
所以,“这个问题使我迷惑”,不能说成
The problem made me puzzle.
而只用说
The problem puzzled me.

it interested me .

the rumor excite her curiosity.

(使动词做动词的时候,主语往往是不是人。)

二、使动词的-ing型和-ed型分词往往当形容词来用,描述事物特征。
我们都知道,be doing或be done一般分别是进行体和被动态;分词作形容词,只是偶尔有之。且看且想,老鞋看出:
使动词的分词形式往往当形容词来用。
试看:
He is swimming.
He is interesting.
两句结构相同。前一句是普通动作的进行体“他正在游泳”;后一句是感觉类动词,是说“他这个人很有意思”。
再看:
She was killed.
She was satisfied.
前一句动作:她被杀了;后一句是描述:她感到满意。

三、-ing型的基本意义是“使/令……怎样的”,-ed表示“感到……的”。
把握了使动词的根本含义,再分辨由它变来的两种分词,就顺理成章了。
-ing形容词,表示“使人……的”,也就是在动词原形意义后加个“的”字。
-ed形容词,表示“感到……的”。

试依以上原理,准确分辨下面几对句子。
The boy is upset.男孩感到失望。
The boy is upsetting.男孩是个让人感到失望的家伙。

The students are satisfying.这群学生让(别人)感到满意
The students are satisfied.这群学生(自己)感到满意。

The teacher is boring.这个老师是令人讨厌的。
The teacher is bored.这个老师感到讨厌。

细心的人可能会发现,上面几对句子都是拿人来做主语。也就是两种形容词都可以用来描述人。如果拿物来做主语,就只有一个能够合格。
√The speech is boring.
×The speech is bored.

老鞋似乎回到了老路,考察起哪个能够修饰谁的问题了。其实这个只是顺便提及,并不是问题的要害。因为明白了上面所述的基本原理,谁能修饰谁,就是不言而喻的。
既然过去分词表示“感到……”,当然只能描述有感觉的事物,不能说一块石头感觉如何吧!而现在分词既然表示“令人有某种感觉”,则其空间是无限的,因为任何事物都可能引起人的某种感觉,岂止于人乎?

 As we know , we live in the times of knowledge explosion, when news,information even rumors comes from all around of the world. (when news , facts,opinions even rumors have been bombarding us from every corner of the world )With the development of information technology,more and more e-books come to our world.
Some people believe the traditional books become a things of past is just a matter of time.

The e-books could decrease the production of woods,which is beneficial to our earth because the forest is our earth’s lung.So they have a firmly belief —-”the more we use it, the better life we have”.
In my opinion, the traditional books will never disappear.On the one hand, Our human has  thousand years history, which is recorded by the traditional books.If we want to get the precise information about the history , the traditional book is necessary . On the other hands , the e-books often have some errors,which disturb our reading and learning .

入室抢劫

在美国,每个15秒钟就有人举报一起入室行窃案,统计数据显示,去年窃贼逛够了两百多万户人家。人们实际上几乎无法将蓄意行窃的盗贼拒之门外,所以做得只是设法拦截他片刻,从而使其暴露在巡警或者附近溜达的人们面前。常识告诉我们,光照是犯罪行为的障碍物。家门口必须安装一盏灯,并在晚上开着。不管是否相信,有些人,尤其是最晚进家的孩子,晚上进屋后不把门锁上。空心门,即便是锁上了,也容易遭贼入侵。因此最好选择实心门或者铁门,因为窃贼很难将它们撬开。如果你有意购买报警装置,别忘了索要报警器的标志,并把它们贴在窗户和门上。最后,提醒一句,外出旅游时,一定要请一位信得过的邻居,再你回来前,收好每日的报纸和邮件。这是因为放在门阶上或邮箱里成堆的报纸邮件如同广告一样让大家都知道你家里没人。
