The Ant
螞蟻的故事
A Fable...
一個寓言…
Or
或者
May be not....
不是個寓言而是個真的故事....
Every day, a small ant arrives at work very early and starts work immediately.
每天，小螞蟻很早來上工，並且一來就開始做事。
She produces a lot was happy.
她的生產力很高，並且工作愉快。
The Chief, a lion, was surprised to see that the ant was working without supervision.
身為老闆的獅子，非常驚奇螞蟻能自行工作而不須監督。
He thought if the ant can produce so much without supervision, wouldn’t she produce even more if she had a pervisor!
他認為在沒有監督下的螞蟻生產力是如此的好，如果有人監督的話她的生產力應該會更好才對!
So he recruited a cockroach who had extensive experience as supervisor and who was famous for writing excellent reports.
因此他招募了有豐富經驗的蟑螂作為監督員，蟑螂以擅長撰寫優良報告而聞名。
The cockroach’s first decision was to set up a clocking in attendance system.
蟑螂的第一個決定是設立了打卡計時系統。
He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports and …
他也需要一個秘書幫助他繕寫和鍵入報告和……
... he recruited a spider, who managed the archives and monitored all phone calls.
他招募了蜘蛛，負責管理檔案和監管所有電話。
The lion was delighted with the cockroach's reports and asked him to produce graphs to describe production rates and to analyse trends, so that he could use them for presentations at Board‘s meetings.
獅子對蟑螂的報告非常高興並要求他用圖表描述生產率和分析趨勢變化，因而他能在董事會上用這些資料來報告。
So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a laser printer and ...
因此蟑螂必須買一臺新的電腦和雷射印表機和…
... recruited a fly to manage the IT department.
.. 並招募蒼蠅來管理資訊部門。
The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings which used up most of her time…!
曾經是很有生產力和輕鬆的螞蟻，恨透了這些耗盡她大多數時間的過多文書作業和會議…!
The lion came to the conclusion that it was high time to nominate a person in charge of the department where the ant worked.
獅子做出結論這是提名螞蟻工作部門負責人的時候了。
The position was given to the cicada, whose first decision was to buy a carpet and an ergonomic chair for his office.
這個位置被賦予給了蟬，蟬的第一個決定是為他的辦公室買一張地毯和一把符合人體工學的椅子。
The new person in charge, the cicada, also needed a computer and a personal assistant, who he brought from his previous department, to help him prepare a Work and Budget Control Strategic Optimisation Plan …
新的人負責，蟬，也需要一部電腦和一位從他原 先部門帶來的個人助理，來幫助他準備工作和預算控制策略優化計劃…
The Department where the ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs anymore and everybody has become upset...
螞蟻工作的部門現在是一個哀傷的地方，不再有人會笑，而且大家變得抓狂…
It was at that time that the cicada convinced the boss , the lion, of the absolute necessity to start a climatic study of the environment .
就是那時蟬說服獅子上司，強調要開始進行組織氣候調查的绝對必要性。
Having reviewed the charges for running the ant’s department , the lion found out that the production was much less than before.
在審查了螞蟻的部門運作費用後，獅子發現生產力比以前大幅減少。
So he recruited the owl , a prestigious and renowned consultant to carry out an audit and suggest solutions.
所以他招募了貓頭鷹，一位有名望和顯耀的顧問來執行稽核工作並建議解決之道。
The owl spent three months in the department and came up with an enormous report , in several volumes,that concluded :
“ The department is overstaffed ...”
貓頭鷹在部門待了三個月並且產生了一份有數冊之多的巨大的報告，結論是：「部門成員人數過多…」
Guess who the lion fires first?
猜猜獅子首先解雇誰？
The ant , of course, because she “showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude".
當然，是螞蟻，因為她「顯現出缺乏做事的動機並且態度消極」。

轉貼-旅行英語
[英語] 旅行英語
在進入正題前，我們首先要對「觀光旅遊」英語有一個基本認知： 和 「新聞」， 「商務」 等其他英語一樣，它們都是使用同樣26個字母，遵循同樣文法規則， 發音讀法一樣，拼字句型如一， 若有不同，只不過是在字義上(例一：“security”, 安全， “securities”，期貨) 或類型上，(例二： “How are you?” (正式)， “How’s going?” (半正式)， “What’s new?” 或 “What’s happening?” (非正式)， 因領域範圍功能等因素不同而有所差異。所以「如何學」? 就如在學校內學習任何科目一般： 多讀，多聽， 多背，和多用，自然而然就可熟能生巧!
除了上述認知外，我們還要有一個正確觀念，那就是能在「語文」 和「語言」之間做區分。「語言」旨在溝通，所以流利(fluency)與否成為衡量基準；所以精准(accuracy) 則成為評鑒依歸。若就四技來分隔，「聽」 與 「說」應屬前者表現； 「讀」 與 「寫」則是後者重心。但上述區隔絕不代表絕對地分割；能使用語言少不了語文基礎，能欣賞語文又少不得對語言精練使用。所以「如何學」? 答案： 就如同在學校內修習任何科目一樣：多讀，多聽，多背，多用，自然而然就可熟能生巧!
現在言歸正傳，譬如說王小明想利用暑期到美國旅遊進修，那王小明在心理上該有甚麼準備而在實際上又該有那些作法?
1. Getting Ready! (工欲善其事，必先利其器)
applying for a valid passport(申請有效護照)，visa to the U.S.(美簽)， booking/reserving airline ticket through travel agency/on Internet (透過旅行社或泡網預訂機票)，vaccination (檢疫)，money exchange (兌換外幣)，packing (行李打包) 等基本準備。
2. Welcome to the U. S. A. (入境)
arriving at the airport (到達)，filling out immigration for(I-94) (填寫移民局表格)， going through customs (海關申報)，asking for directions (搞清東南西北)，making connecting flights (轉機) 等流程。
3. Communicating by computer, phone, and mail. (連系)
Using Blackberry (機場無線泡網)，pay phone (公共電話)，mail services (郵政服務)，talking to the operator (電話對答)，taking and leaving messages (受話留言), sending and picking up mails, telegrams and messages (寄發收取郵件消息) 等運作。
4. Getting around (行無礙)
riding public transportation in the city (市內大眾運輸工具)，renting a car: asking for and giving detailed information on fees, insurance and maintenance (租車自由行)， reading schedules (看懂時刻表)， getting from city to city by bus, train, car and plane (跨市越州旅行)。
5. Places to stay (居不易)
finding a room for the night (打尖住宿)，having things for you (旅館住處內各種設施服務)，taking care of your clothes (自住洗衣或外送)，finding what’s nearby (認識周遭環境)。
6. Handling your money(金錢處理)
banking services, cash, credit card and traveler check (金融服務，現金，信用卡，和旅行支票)，having money wired (匯款)，going shopping (血拼)。
7. Getting something to eat(食為先)
finding restaurants you like(遍嘗美食)，reading the menu and ordering (點餐)，asking about and describing food (餐飲查詢)，trying to cook on your own (君子近庖廚)。
8. In case you get sick(天有不測風雲:衛生保健)
seeing doctors (看診)，making appointment (預約)，asking and talking about your health (說明身體狀況)，describing your symptoms (病況說明)，getting medicines and prescriptions you need (購藥與處方簽)。
9. Enjoy your free time (快樂逍遙遊)。
using newspapers and magazines to find out what’s happening 娛樂活動藝文資訊)， reading ads and posters about different events (海報文宣)。
10. Being a welcome guest (做客之道)
Staying at someone’s house(借宿)，agreeing to/turning down your host’s suggestions/offers or getting out something politely (同意或婉拒之道)，being invited to parties (應邀赴宴), arranging to get together again (後會有期)。
就像任何表達一樣，觀光英語的使用也不外乎「人」，「事」，「時」「地」，和「物」。當然，別忘了還有「如何」。例如：
人：Who is going to the States with you?
Whose bags are those?
Whom are you going to visit while you are in the States?
事：What’s the purpose of your visit here?
What are you going to do when you are here?
What are the Dos and Don’ts（該做及不該做）while one visits a
foreign country?
時：When will the plane take off?
When will we arrive?
When is the connecting flight?
地：Where is the bus terminal?
Where can I find the nearest convenience store?
Where is the souvenir shop located?
物：What’s the thing crawling over there?
Which would you prefer? Chicken or beef?
What is the drink made of/with?
如何：How far is the train station from here?
How can I get to the Metropolitan Museum?
Why is that he could play it twice and only once for me?
有了以上的認識，把這些觀念融入從小學到大的基本句型中。例如：
說明句：I am going there with my friends.
I want to visit some relatives, and friends as well if I have time.
I have been dreaming of going to the States since I was a kid.
疑問句：How much is that red sweater?
Do I have to get a valid passport before I can apply for the visa to
the U.S.?
Is there any place you would recommend that’s worthy of visiting?
否定句：I don’t think that’s such a good idea to go there alone.
We have decided not to spend the rest of our trip shopping.
I would rather go somewhere else instead of /than just staying
in the hotel.
命令句：Don’t do anything local people won’t/Do in Rome as Romans do!
Leave it there! The janitor will take care of it.
Watch out! You are too close to the cliff!
驚歎句：What a magnificent view!
What a sight for sore eyes!
What a bargain!
除了上述這些「耳熟能詳」的句型外，別忘了其他的句子結構：
1 主詞＋完全不及物動詞：
Plane flies high in the sky.
People laugh happily around the pool.
Stores usually close at 6 pm on weekdays.
2 主詞＋不完全不及物動詞＋主詞補語：

3 主詞＋完成及物動詞＋受詞：

We went to the Disneyland yesterday and had a wonderful time there.
4 主詞＋不完全及物動詞＋受詞＋受詞補語：

在進入正題前，我們首先要對「觀光旅遊」英語有一個基本認知： 和 「新聞」， 「商務」 等其他英語一樣，它們都是使用同樣26個字母，遵循同樣文法規則， 發音讀法一樣，拼字句型如一， 若有不同，只不過是在字義上(例一：“security”, 安全， “securities”，期貨) 或類型上，(例二： “How are you?” (正式)， “How’s going?” (半正式)， “What’s new?” 或 “What’s happening?” (非正式)， 因領域範圍功能等因素不同而有所差異。所以「如何學」? 就如在學校內學習任何科目一般： 多讀，多聽， 多背，和多用，自然而然就可熟能生巧!
除了上述認知外，我們還要有一個正確觀念，那就是能在「語文」 和「語言」之間做區分。「語言」旨在溝通，所以流利(fluency)與否成為衡量基準；所以精准(accuracy) 則成為評鑒依歸。若就四技來分隔，「聽」 與 「說」應屬前者表現； 「讀」 與 「寫」則是後者重心。但上述區隔絕不代表絕對地分割；能使用語言少不了語文基礎，能欣賞語文又少不得對語言精練使用。所以「如何學」? 答案： 就如同在學校內修習任何科目一樣：多讀，多聽，多背，多用，自然而然就可熟能生巧!
現在言歸正傳，譬如說王小明想利用暑期到美國旅遊進修，那王小明在心理上該有甚麼準備而在實際上又該有那些作法?
1. Getting Ready! (工欲善其事，必先利其器)
applying for a valid passport(申請有效護照)，visa to the U.S.(美簽)， booking/reserving airline ticket through travel agency/on Internet (透過旅行社或泡網預訂機票)，vaccination (檢疫)，money exchange (兌換外幣)，packing (行李打包) 等基本準備。
2. Welcome to the U. S. A. (入境)
arriving at the airport (到達)，filling out immigration for(I-94) (填寫移民局表格)， going through customs (海關申報)，asking for directions (搞清東南西北)，making connecting flights (轉機) 等流程。
3. Communicating by computer, phone, and mail. (連系)
Using Blackberry (機場無線泡網)，pay phone (公共電話)，mail services (郵政服務)，talking to the operator (電話對答)，taking and leaving messages (受話留言), sending and picking up mails, telegrams and messages (寄發收取郵件消息) 等運作。

5. Places to stay (居不易)

6. Handling your money(金錢處理)

就像任何表達一樣，觀光英語的使用也不外乎「人」，「事」，「時」「地」，和「物」。當然，別忘了還有「如何」。例如：
人：Who is going to the States with you?
Whose bags are those?
Whom are you going to visit while you are in the States?
事：What’s the purpose of your visit here?
What are you going to do when you are here?
What are the Dos and Don’ts（該做及不該做）while one visits a
foreign country?
時：When will the plane take off?
When will we arrive?
When is the connecting flight?
地：Where is the bus terminal?
Where can I find the nearest convenience store?

物：What’s the thing crawling over there?
Which would you prefer? Chicken or beef?
What is the drink made of/with?
如何：How far is the train station from here?
How can I get to the Metropolitan Museum?
Why is that he could play it twice and only once for me?
有了以上的認識，把這些觀念融入從小學到大的基本句型中。例如：
說明句：I am going there with my friends.
I want to visit some relatives, and friends as well if I have time.
I have been dreaming of going to the States since I was a kid.
疑問句：How much is that red sweater?

the U.S.?
Is there any place you would recommend that’s worthy of visiting?
否定句：I don’t think that’s such a good idea to go there alone.
We have decided not to spend the rest of our trip shopping.
I would rather go somewhere else instead of /than just staying
in the hotel.
命令句：Don’t do anything local people won’t/Do in Rome as Romans do!
Leave it there! The janitor will take care of it.
Watch out! You are too close to the cliff!
驚歎句：What a magnificent view!
