66.The ABC of Kongfu

Follow the instructions carefully. There are no pictures here, only step by step instruction. Also, I hope this article will help those who haven't the chance to go to a club for Chinese Kongfu training. You may practice anywhere, but let me offer some suggestions before we begin.If you are practicing a form, you will need enough room. However, you may always practice parts of the form when there is no enough space. The height of theceiling is not importanteither. Even if you have to keep your knees bent(弯曲)in order not to hurt your head, that is in fact good in your training. A dirty basement(地下室) corner may be cleaned-and perhaps an old mirror can be placed on a chair for corrections. You don't need a lot of light, either. What is important is to wear big warm clothing and flat shoes such as cheap cotton tennis shoes.

功夫入门

认真按这些说明(instructions)去做。这里没有图片,只是一个个步骤的说明。此外,我希望这篇文章(article)可以帮助那些没机会去好功夫馆(中国功夫培训俱乐部(club))的人。你可以在任何地方练习(practice).但在我们开始之前,让我提供(offer)一些建议(suggestion)。

如果你在练习招式,你需要足够的空间。但如果没有足够的空间,你也可以一直练习部分招式。天花板(ceiling)的高度(height)也不重要(not important either)。即使(even if)你为了不伤着头部而不得不弯着膝盖(knee),要知道,这实际上在你的训练中也是有好处的。可以清理一下脏乎乎的地下室角落(corner)——也许椅子上可以放一面旧镜子(mirror)用于改正。你也不需要很多的灯。重要的是穿着宽松温暖的衣服和平底鞋(flat shoes),如便宜的棉布(cotton)网球鞋。

 

67.The First African-American First Lady

Barack H. Obama, the 44th President of the United States, has become the number one hero in the heart of Americans. His wife Michelle Obama serves as First Lady. The position of First Lady carries no official(官方的) duties, so each First Lady has served her country according to(按照) her own wishes and interests. Some have played an active role in policy-making.On April 3 in London, U. S First Lady told children at a North London school that being smart is cool, and education is the most important thing in life. She spoke to the students, "If you want to know the reason why I am standing here, it's because of education." She told the 100 young girls,"I never cut class. I loved getting A's, I liked being smart. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world. "She tried to lift their spirits and asked the girls to believe their dreams.

美国第一位非洲裔第一夫人

巴拉克·奥巴马,美国第44任总统(president),已经成为美国人心中排名第一的英雄(hero)。他的妻子米歇尔·奥巴马任第一夫人。第一夫人的职位(position)没有官方义务,因此每位第一夫人都是按照自己的意愿和兴趣为国家效劳。有一些第一夫人曾在政策制定(policy-making)中起到积极的作用(play an active role in)。

4月3日在伦敦,美国第一夫人告诉北伦敦一所学校的孩子们聪明(smart)即是酷,教育是一生中最重要的事。她对孩子们说,“如果你们想知道我为什么可以站在这里,那是因为教育。”她告诉这一百名年轻女孩,“我从不旷课。我喜欢得A,我喜欢聪明……我认为聪明比世上任何事情都酷。”

她尽力给孩子们提升(lift)士气,告诉这些女孩要相信她们的梦想。
