十七. Say it with Flowers(1)

Young men often give flowers to young women when they are in love. The tradition may have come from Turkey(土耳其).

In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to send each other baskets full of strange things. The baskets were sent secretly to the person who was receiving it. Usually, an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street left the basket beside the door of that person.

【汉语翻译】

花语寄情(1)

恋爱中(be in love)的年轻男士经常(often)送花(flower)给女友,这个传统(tradition)可能来自(come from)土耳其。

18世纪的土耳其,热恋中的人相互赠送装满奇怪(strange)物品的篮子,这种做法在当时很流行(popular)。篮子(basket)被秘密地(secretly)送给接收篮子的人(person)。通常(usually),由街上卖花或水果(fruit)的老婆婆把篮子送到那人的门旁边(beside the door)。?

十七. Say It with Flowers (2)

These baskets included many kinds of gifts: flowers, stones,

candles, etc. Each thing in the basket had a special meaning. By working out the secret message hidden in each gift, the person who received the basket began to understand little by little the true feelings of the person who sent it.

【汉语翻译】

花语寄情(2)

这些篮子里包括(include)许多种礼物(many kinds of gifts):花、石头(stone)、蜡烛(candle)等。每样东西都有特殊的含义(special meaning)。篮子接收者想出(work out)每件物品所暗藏(hide)的信息(message),然后就开始渐渐地(little by little)理解(understand)赠送者的真实感情(true feelings)。?

十七. Say It with Flowers (3)

The idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to other countries. However, as time passed, only sending flowers remained popular.

Flowers told young ladies about the feelings in the heart of young men. Each different flower had a different meaning. For example, the flowers from an orange tree meant,you are beautiful and pure(纯洁).Pink carnations (康乃馨) meant,My love for you is great.Yellow roses, on the other hand, meant,I saw you with someone else.

Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received. However, not all of the dictionaries agreed on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send.

By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had become unpopular, and the more direct way of sending love letters began. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.

【汉翻译】

花语寄情(3)

这种赠送礼物传递秘密信息的示爱方式迅速传(spread)到其他国家(country),但是,随着时间的流逝,只有送花的传统保持(remain)了下来。

花把男士心(heart)中的感情传递给女士。每种花都有不同的含义。例如(for example),桔(orange)树上开的花表示,你美丽又纯洁。粉红色(pink)的康乃馨表示,我对你的爱是热烈的。另一方面(on the other hand),黄玫瑰(yellow rose)则意味着我看见你和别人在一起。

为了帮助恋爱中的年轻人理解他们收到的花所代表的含义,人们编制出很多关于花的词典(dictionary)。但是,对于每一种花的含义,不是所有的词典都能达成一致(agree on)。因此,人们在送花时必须谨慎选择(choose)。

到了19世纪80年代,花语寄情已经不流行,写信成为更直接的(direct)示爱方式。如今(today),花仍被认为(consider)是一种可爱的礼物,但以前每一种花的特定含义已经没有了。

十八. Learning by Doing and Going

Many of my classmates think they are forced to go to school. They say they are only interested in playing. But I love going to school, and my favorite subject is science. I like science because the experiments and field trips are exciting.

In science we do many exciting experiments in the lab. One time we made crystal form(晶形) in a bottle by using salt in water. Another time we watched how baby chicks are hatched(孵出).

We also take exciting field trips for science. We went to a museum and saw huge dinosaurs(恐龙) and tiny butterflies. On Tree-planting Day, we went to a forest and collected leaves.

Its good to play, but I would rather do experiments and go on field trips. Thats why science is my favorite subject.

【汉语翻译】

通过做与行学习

我的许多同学认为他们是被强迫(force)去上学的,他们说只对玩感兴趣。但我喜欢上学,我最喜欢的学科(subject)是科学(science)。我喜欢科学是因为做实验(experiment)和野外(field)旅行令人兴奋(exciting)。

上科学课时,我们在实验室(lab)做许多令人兴奋的实验。有~次,我们利用水中的盐(salt)在一个瓶子(bottle)里做晶形。还有一次,我们观察小鸡(chick)是怎样被孵化出来的。

为了学习科学,我们还进行令人兴奋的野外旅行。我们去了一个博物馆(museum),看到了巨大的恐龙还有微小的(tiny)蝴蝶(butterfly)。在植树节,我们去了一个森林(forest)并收集树叶(collect leaves)。

玩耍很好,但我宁愿做实验(would rather do experiments)以及去野外旅行。那就是我最喜欢科学课的原因。
