事实上，学习英语的最好方法与人们学习其母语（native language）的方法相同，就是吸收（absorption）。小孩在学母语时，首先就是倾听，听父母的讲话，然后逐渐地摸索出（work out）一套表达规律，来表达自己的需要。而没有哪一位家长会给孩子一本语法书，然后让他们通过语法书来学习语言。人们最终是需要了解一些基本的语言规则，但真正有效的语言学习还是要将自己沉浸（immerse）在那种语言的环境中。

In truth, the best way to learn English is the way anybody learns native language, that is, by absorption. As children, we all learned to use our native language from listening to our parents and, gradually, working out ways to express our needs. No parent ever gave their child a grammar book and told them to learn the language from that. Eventually, this is a need to know the basic rules of any language but the real benefit comes from immersing oneself in the language.

许多中国的学生都会通过国外留学的方式来进行自己的研究生（postgraduate）教育，这必然就要求他们要能够驾驭东道国（host country）的语言。通常，这些国外大学的授课方式与中国的大不相同。同时，学生到国外以后还会面临文化差异（culture shock），他们需要时间来适应。有些国家有中国社区（community），这对于刚刚抵达国外的中国学生来说，会感到非常方便。

Many Chinese students are taking the opportunity to further their postgraduate studies at overseas universities. An obvious necessity is to have a competent ability in the language of their host country. The lecturing process at these universities is often quite different from the Chinese

approach. At the same time, students going to a foreign country may face a culture shock that will take time to adapt. Many foreign countries do have Chinese communities and these can be a great comfort to new arrivals.

元宵节（Lantern Festival）是在阴历的（lunar）一月十五日。早在西汉时期，它已经成为具有重要意义的节日。猜灯笼“谜语” （riddle）是节日的核心部分（essential part）。灯笼的主人会将谜语写在一张纸条上并贴在灯笼上。如果游客想到了谜语的答案，他们就将纸条拿下来去灯笼的主人那里查看答案。如果他们答对了，就会得到一份小礼物。这项活动最早出现在宋代。因为猜谜集趣味和智慧于一身，它在社会各阶层（all social levels）之间都很流行。

许多刚毕业的大学生找不到工作，在校学生则担心自己的未来。多个调查显示，三分之二的中国毕业生想在政府或者国有（state-owned）企业工作，而不是为中国令人瞩目的（remarkable）经济增长提供动力的民营（private）企业。政府和国有企业被认为能免受经济萧条（recession / depression）的影响。根据调查，如今几乎没有大学生愿意放弃政府的铁饭碗（the safe shores of government work）而下海加入初创业（startup）或自己创业。

Many recent college graduates can't find a job and students are fearful about their future. Several surveys indicate that two-thirds of Chinese graduates want to work either in the government or state-owned firms, which are seen as recession-proof, rather than at the private companies that have powered China's remarkable economic climb.

忠诚，因为提出让国家和平繁荣的建议而受到人们的尊重。然而，国王昏庸的统治让屈原日益心灰意冷，他于农历五月初五自沉汨（mi）罗江。端午节这天的习俗有吃粽子、赛龙舟、喝雄黄酒（realgar wine）等。

清明是中国的二十四节气（the 24 seasonal division points in China）之一，一般是在每年4月4日到6日。清明过后，气温逐渐上升，雨水也增多，表明了这是农民开始安排农耕活动的关键时期。同时，清明也是郊游的大好时节，人们去户外踏青，并开展一系列消遣和体育活动。更重要的是，清明时节也是一个纪念祖先和已故亲人的日子。

人们总是迫切希望改善环境，却从不肯改变自己。所以，他们做什么事都是麻烦不断。一个勇于自我反省（introspection）的人在实现理想目标的道路上永远不会失败。这是一个恒久不变的真理。即使一个人唯一的目标是获得财富，他也要在实现目标之前随时做好付出巨大牺牲的准备。那么，一个人要实现幸福美满的人生，又要付出多大的代价呢？

Men are always anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves. They therefore have trouble whatever they do. The man who does not shrink from introspection can never fail to achieve the goal upon which his heart is set. This is as true of earthly as of heavenly things. Even the man whose sole objective is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make great personal sacrifices before he can attain his goal. So how much will it cost him to realize a happy life?
