Spring Festival is the biggest festival in China,it stands for families all get together to celebrate a brand new year. However, Christmas marks the arrival of festivity and fervor. It is one of the most joyous occasions. People celebrate Christmas across the world. Christmas signifies love and happiness.When I was in the USA,I always decorate my house on these days.
         Chinese people might think that decorating the house would costs lot of money, actually, it does not always have to be expensive. Even if you are a little short on money, there are some easy ways though which, you can deck up your home. Buying Christmas decorations every year will turn out to be very expensive, so it is sensible to preserve the decorations of this year to be used in the next year. You can buy inexpensive decorations, from the stores where they sell it on discount like I do.Last year,I  only spent less than 500 bucks. I got a small Christmas tree at the block, and decorations for the tree are free, that save money for me. Cheap Rugs are also needed for Christmas, down the street along my house is a retail store which offers discounts on festivals.Rugs,candles, flowers, pictures, Christmas tree, figurines of Santa, angel, stockings, cards, bows, ribbons, candy cane, lights, wreaths, poinsettias, mistletoes and so on. These items mentioned above are traditionally used for decorations, but you can always come up with something new. It is all about using your imagination and coming out with some interesting things.

      The decorations inside your home give you an opportunity to impress your guests, with some out-of-the-box thinking. The colors traditionally used for decorating the interiors are red, green and white. But it’s important to get fashion,big  Area Rugs ,they’ll slow down the noise people make and keep your house clean even if people spread some juice or coke on the floor. 

       Making handmade decorations is another good idea. In fact when, everyone is using decoration brought from the store; However, you can include some new colors to the decorations this year, for a unique look. Use of simple items like scented Christmas candles, lights, fresh flowers, drapes, bows and ribbons can very easily transform your home. You do not have to do something extravagant for this; simple things can easily do the job for you. Get your kids to help you with the decorations; they will be delighted to do this for you during the holiday season.

第一名：Rejoicing after Billions of Deaths 悲极生乐

     When almost every single person you are close to dies in a fiery blaze or drowns in a massive tsunami, what would you do? Celebrate! At least that is what the array of characters in 2012 do. Sure, they end up saving humanity, but after over 2 hours and 30 minutes of complete destruction of every national landmark and 99% of all human beings it’s damn near impossible to connect with their unabashed joy.

     当你深爱之人丧生滚滚岩浆或者超级大海啸，接着应该干嘛？欢天喜地庆祝大会！至少《2012》里头那些角色是这样的啦，虽说他们的确挽救了人类的种族得以延续，但是俩半小时灭顶之灾整得全世界99%的人类都不能幸免的情况下，这个过于温馨的大团圆结局是在不能算是太和谐。

     第二名：Last Second Escapes 所有的千钧一发

     Although the film is basically strung together with these desperate escapes, there are a few notable ones. The first, as Cusack and his family are on board a plane that is mere seconds away from collapsing into the abyss, sets the bar. The rest live up to that bar as planes dodge in between buildings, out of dust clouds and over ledges.There are more “AAAAHHHHH’s” and “NO NO NO NO NO’s!” then all of Bay’sfilms combined and I think Emmerich deserves something for that.

     灾难片嘛，永远是同时间赛跑，狂奔啦，飙车啦，飞机啦等等。《2012》的逃亡戏做得那叫一个紧张刺激，主人公一家人登上飞机起飞之后就看着整座洛城塌陷成人间地狱，这个场面迟早要成为经典。其它的也不赖，飞机在倒塌的楼房之间穿梭、逃离火山灰的追逐。好多好多的尖叫，观众的情绪也都被调动了起来。

     第三名：”It’s Russian” 咱俄罗斯造滴！

     The Russian characters in the film prove to be hilarious, but nothing comes close to the demise of Yuri, the leader of the pack. In a slow motion scene screaming withemotion, Yuri throws one of his annoying children up on a bridge to besaved as he falls to his demise. It’s the most “LOL”-worthy scene of the year.

     历来好莱坞大片中的俄罗斯人总是很爆笑的，《2012》里这位更是出众，不少引得全场哄堂大笑的段落都是因他而来。即使最后将他那俩讨人厌的小孩扔上甲板自己坠入深渊的时候，感动之余还是觉得有点好笑来着。

     第四名：Gymnastic Dog 平衡木狗狗！

     I know the Winter Olympics are coming up, but I hope they can reserve a spot on the 2012 Summer Olympic gymnastic squad for the acrobatic dog in the film. As if you haven’t had enough already, around the 2 hour and 15 minute mark, you witness only a spectacle Emmerich could pull off that is reminiscent of another dog sequence in Independence Day.

     2012年奥运会可以添加狗狗进入到体操项目不？115分钟的《2012》里头，那只京巴沿袭了《独立日》的传统，把动物的顽强求生演绎得淋漓精致。

Tips 6 - 10

　　6. Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, ) instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc。

　　6. 当一个人撒谎时，他的面部表情会局限在嘴巴处(像高兴、欣喜、悲伤和敬畏)，而不是整张脸。例如，当一个人自然微笑时，整张脸都会有反应：下巴/脸颊会动，眼睛和前额会向下等。

　　7. A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive。

　　7. 一个罪犯会选择自卫，而一个无辜的人通常会选择反击。

　　8. A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away。

　　8. 撒谎者面对发问者/原告会不安，他可能会将头或身体转向一边。

　　9. A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc。) between themselves and you。

　　9. 撒谎者可能会下意识的放一样东西(书、咖啡杯等)在他们和你之间。

　　10. A liar will use your words to make answer a question. When asked, “Did you eat the last cookie?” The liar answers, “No, I did not eat the last cookie。”

　　10. 撒谎者会用你的话来回答问题。当被问到：“你吃了最后那块曲奇了吗？”撒谎者会说：“没有，我没有吃最后那块曲奇。”

有些时候，人会觉得需要撒谎–如果你是被骗的那方，下面就教你几招来揪出骗子。

　　Tips 1 - 5

　　招数：1-5

　　1. Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movements are toward their own body as the liar tries to take up less space。

　　1. 肢体语言很拘束，僵硬，手臂和手不怎么动。手、手臂和腿的移动都靠向自己的身体，因为撒谎者设法占据更少的空间。

　　2. A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact。

　　2. 骗你的人通常会避免和你眼神接触。

　　3. Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand。

　　3. 手触碰自己的脸、喉咙和嘴巴。碰或抓鼻子或耳后。他们不太可能去碰自己的胸膛/心脏。

　　4. Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says, “I love it!” when receiving a gift and then smiles after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made。

　　4. 手势/表情和说话的时机不对。例如：某人在收到礼物后说：“我喜欢这个！”，之后再露出笑容，而不是在说话的同时露出微笑。

　　5. Gestures/expressions don’t match the verbalstatement, such as frowning when saying “I love you。”

　　5. 手势/表情和嘴上说的不匹配，例如说：“我爱你”的时候皱着眉头。

VS是versus的简写，versus是拉丁文，表示“相对照、相对立”的意思，它的同义词是Against（对抗）。VS这个词及其简写，后来被英文采用，又辗转流人了汉语之中。在英语中，VS是个介词，它有以下三种典型的用法。

　　l、体育报道中，表示谁跟谁进行比赛。例如：罗马VS国际米兰。

　　2、一般报道中，表示两个对立的事物。例如：国家安全VS个人自由。

　　3、法律文书中，表示谁跟谁发生了诉讼。例如：“布朗VS教育会议”案。

　　一般情况下，VS都可以翻译成“对”，比如可以说：“今晚的球赛是罗马对国际米兰。”但表示两种事物对立的时候，“对”往往无法传达“VS”所包含的“对抗，对立”的意思。有一部关于美国性书大亨的电影，名叫《人民VS拉里·弗林特》，我们翻译成《人民反对拉里·弗林特》，其实不尽准确。因为 VS只表示两者对立，并没有说明谁反对谁。当然，要是翻译成《人民对拉里·弗林特》，那就不知所云了。正因为“VS”没有一个确切的汉字与之对应，所以才原装进口过来。另外，即使在“VS”可以翻译成“对”的场合，人们也更喜欢用这两个字母。因为VS放在汉字中非常醒目，起到了分词的效果，从而给人们的阅读带来了方便。不信? 咱们回过头来分析 《体坛周报》的一则标题。“两门炮VS六条枪”比“两门炮对六条枪”看上去更清楚、明白。

　　“VS”进入汉语之后，只继承了英语中的前两种用法。除了“对”这个用法，另一种是在法律文件中，人们一般都把“VS”翻译成“与”。 汉语为什么要借用这个外来的字母组合? 我认为，有两个原因：第一，汉语一时找不到合适的词翻译它；第二，它有比汉字更直观的作用。

　　“VS”从球场到公堂，“对抗”的含义就成了“诉讼”，但在老外的眼里意思依旧，反正球场如公堂，公堂如球场，胜负难说，生死未卜，对抗（抗辩）双方总要你死我活一争雄雌，只不过球场上那你争我夺的肢体语言变成了公堂的舌枪唇剑罢了。“诉讼”一词中国老百姓更喜欢说“打官司”，所以在特定的司法场合，VS就是“打官司”，“打官司”就是VS，在海外的华文报刊上，有时出现《张三VS约翰》的大标题，华洋杂处的中文读者就知道是张三和约翰打官司了。现在国内有些时尚报刊把VS作为“遇上”以及“与”的意思，略显牵强，有时甚至有点荒腔走板，比如“成龙VS梅丽尔”，一看标题，我还以为是成龙“叫板”梅里尔，其实是两人在一起演戏罢了。有些编辑可能对VS的来龙去脉不是特别的清楚，进而“模糊使用”。但万一成龙先生认真起来，要与你VS——打官司的话，那可就吃不了兜着走了。^_^

1、付帐(cash)：右手拇指、的食指和中指在空中捏在一起或在另一只手上作出写字的样子，这是表示在饭馆要付帐的手势。

　　 2、“动脑筋”(use your brain)“机敏一点”(being clever)：用手指点点自己的太阳穴。

　　 3、“傻瓜”(fool)：用拇指按住鼻尖摇动其四指，或十指分开。也常常食指对着太阳穴转动，同时吐出舌头，则表示所谈到的人是个“痴呆”“傻瓜”。

　　 4、“讲的不是真话”(lying)：讲话时，无意识地将一食指放在鼻子下面或鼻子边时，表示另人一定会理解为讲话人“讲的不是真话”难以置信。

　　 5、自以为是(complacent assertion)；用食指往上鼻子，还可表示“不可一世”(overbearing)。

　　 6、“别作声”(stopping-talking)：嘴唇合扰，将食指贴着嘴唇，同时发出“hush”嘘嘘声。

　　 7、侮辱和蔑视(insulting and scorning)；用拇指顶住鼻尖儿，冲着被侮辱者摇动其它四指的鸡冠或手势。

　　 8、赞同(agreement)：向上翘起拇指。

　　 9、祝贺(congratulation)：双手在身前嘴部高度相搓的动作。

　　 10、威胁(menace)：由于生气，挥动一只拳头的动作似乎无处不有。因受挫折而双手握着拳使劲摇动的动作。

　　 11、“绝对不行”(absolutely not)：掌心向外，两只手臂在胸前交叉，然后再张开至相距一米左右。

　　 12、“完了”(that’s all)：两臂在腰部交叉，然后再向下，向身体两侧伸出。

　　 13、“害羞”(shame)：双臂伸直，向下交叉，两掌反握，同时脸转向一侧。

　　 14、打招呼(greeting)：英语国家人在路上打招呼，常常要拿帽子表示致意。现一般已化为抬一下帽子，甚至只是摸一下帽沿。

　　 15、高兴激动(happiness and excitement)：双手握拳向上举起，前后频频用力摇动。

　　 16、愤怒、急燥(anger and anxiousness)：两手臂在身体两侧张开，双手握拳，怒目而视。也常常头一扬，嘴里咂咂有声，同时还可能眨眨眼睛或者眼珠向上和向一侧转动，也表示愤怒、厌烦、急燥。

　　 17、怜悯、同情(pity)：头摇来摇去，同里嘴里发出咂咂之声，嘴里还说“that’s too bad。”或“sorry to hear it。”
