其实就是在网上做个剪贴版……尽管拿鸡蛋砸我吧。

文章的地址会贴在每帖的第一行。不过基本是从杂志网页截的，所以不保证长久后会不会失效。有兴趣就跟着看吧。

真是~这么漂亮的句子，什么时候自己才能写出来呢。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
有些句子脑袋想破了也不清楚是什么意思，于是决定在一楼作个集合中的集合。凡是我个人不理解，想向各位牛人求解的句子，都会在这层楼存档，并标明出现的楼层层数。如果有比较标准规范的解释出现，会和翻译人的ID一起更新在句子下面，作为对其支持的回报，我也会利用个人资源尽量给提供有效回应的同志做加分奖励。
已经得解的句子存档保留，也有为后人提供便利的希望。祝愿大家都能在这里获得所需，共同进步。

Back in 2001, when the actress Elizabeth Hurley announced that she was pregnant by Steve Bing, a Hollywood producer, only to have him question whether he was the baby’s father,(是不是应该用his啊？不明白什么意思~) the British tabloids pounced.

Their arrival is felt especially in Europe, but the rising star Xian Zhang, 33, was recently named associate conductor of the New York Philharmonic.（求解：What is “but” doing here? Aren’t these two parts of this sentence talking about the same phenomenon that Chinese conductors are bewared gradually in the recent years?）

The wellspring is China’s almost limitless pool of young musicians, a mounting number driven by increasing prosperity and nurtured by Chinese society’s desire to compete with the West. (求翻译。这句读着非常别扭啊~)

India’s public universities are often woefully underfinanced and strike-prone.
[quote]Mr. Butt to the rescue again!:loveliness:
India's pubilc universities are often traped with financial problems, THUS THE STUFF AND STUDENTS are more tended to strike.

“The rest of us are getting jerked around, and jacked around,”
[quote] from #13 lintelle
about this sentance, I asked my teacher Mr. Butt, he said that it means "we'll never get what we want." we are jerked around, we are treated as jerks; we are jacked around, we are kicked around like football, we are ignored. Overall, it means no one is taking our opinion seriously, we'll never get what we want.

From #2
Cultural tensions flare when he brings her home to meet his family, and the couple are expected to withhold any expressions of physical affection, according to Indian tradition.
[quote]这句本来求过解，后来因为自己想通了就把求解的字样擦掉了。但有位试着翻译过的同志希望把这句依然列上，应求而为之。
由于印度人的传统观念与美国人的意识格格不入，当他把她带回家与父母会面时，文化冲突显得格外激烈，特别是在这对恋人不得不在两老面前谨言慎行、减少暧昧动作这一点上。

i will try it.we can understand it,but it's difficult to express it in chinese.
在中国局限的小圈子里，受到日渐的繁荣和中国社会与西方竞争的愿望的鞭策，一群年轻音乐家们是（未来的）希望。:handshake

dirt有八卦的意思，dig up dirt就是挖花边新闻。Friends里也出现过dirt的这种用法。
第一句不像该用his，但我也弄不清这里怎么用的。
明天去帮你问老师，顺便三四求解句也一起解决了好了。
new york times 的艺术类文章语言最麻烦，准备托福考试期间不推荐阅读。
找单词时可以尽量注意找可以用在考试中的单词，每天少找几个，做成卡片，摘下来了，就要记住。阅读是提高使用单词语感的手法，但如果不加强下硬功夫的力道，是很难见成效的。祝楼上在t版既玩也学，玩得开心。:)

LOS ANGELES, April 11 — Back in 2001, when the actress Elizabeth Hurley announced that she was pregnant by Steve Bing, a Hollywood producer, only to have him question whether he was the baby’s father,(是不是应该用his啊？不明白什么意思~) the British tabloids pounced. They branded him “Bing Laden,” and The Daily Mail of London reported that he and his Los Angeles lawyer had hired the private eye Anthony Pellicano to dig up dirt to destroy Ms. Hurley’s reputation.

vocabulary: only to  没想到，竟然会  tabloids 小报 brand 打上烙印（这里是动词） pounce 突袭（我电子字典翻译的，但是这里应该是 抓住不放 大肆宣传的意思） reputation(这个不算新词了，只是想告诉大家这个词在口语中，可以理解为 对异性的吸引力或在学校的地位)

This current show forms a coda to one lately at the Prado, where Mr. Struth insinuated a dozen or more, some nearly life-size, photographs among the paintings and sculptures.:(

It took some gall and guile.:mad

Come upon irregularly and unexpectedly, his pictures punctuated galleries of nearly unrelenting greatness.

Mr. Struth’s work partly entails obscuring (and thereby making us focus more on) these distinctions among the spaces in the paintings he photographs, the ones occupied by people looking at those paintings, and the ones we occupy, looking at the photographs.:confused:

Mr. Struth interjected a picture of an audience in Tokyo, seen in shadowy silhouette, admiring Delacroix’s “Liberty Leading the People,” on loan from the Louvre, inside its huge, antiseptic-white glass box. (On loan has an original meaning of “debit and credit”, it here means imitating, simulating.)

The expression … , is eternal. (Their looks are at once hopeful and wary.):funk:

And we, in turn, scour the scenes as we do the art: here is the smiling tour guide, leaning into a goggle-eyed scrum of visitors who lean oh so slightly away from the Velázquez, as if intimidated by its reputation.

“The moments of the past do not remain still,” as Proust wrote. “They retain in our memory the motion which drew them toward the future, towards a future which has itself become the past, and draw us on in their train.”:)

Vocabulary: coda insinuate glimpse gulf >on loan< wary

It was at least the sixth chlorine bomb detonated in Anbar Province since late January and the most lethal, though it appears that most victims were killed by the explosion rather than the chlorine.

when children off from school usually play in the street and adults run errands and visit before going to the mosque at midday.

Vocabulary: lethal >set off<
