A Letter to the University President
Dear Sir,
I am writing to put up some suggestions concerning our teaching and campus life.
As a sophomore from the Math Department, I am quite satisfied with the present condition of my university, but I餯 like to say that there is still some room for improvement.
First, I believe that more attention should be paid to the guidance of our study methods. To some extent, university students are capable of studying by themselves, but more often than never, we find ourselves at a loss as to choose good books to read and appropriate topics for our research. It is clear that we need some advice from our teachers. If our teachers can lecture more on how to learn by yourself for us, especially for the freshmen, our skills will be further improved.
Second, more activities should be conducted to make our campus life more colorful. I sorry to say that the present life on campus is quite boring. Every day we have classes, read in the library, or stay in the dormitory. Life here is routine. We need more meaningful activities organized to enrich our college life and enable us to study more efficiently.
1。Whereas
该词意为:considering that, “鉴于”,“就(而论”,常用于合同协议书的开头段落以引出合同双方订立合同的理由或依据。如:Whereas Party A desires to use the Patented Technology of Party B to manufacture and sell the Contract Products……鉴于甲方希望利用乙方的专利技术制造并销售合同产品。
2。Whereby
该词意为:by the agreement, by the following terms and conditions,“凭此协议”,“凭此条款”,常用于合同协议书中以引出合同当事人应承担的主要合同义务。如:
A sales contract refers to a contract whereby the seller transfers the ownership of an object to the buyer and the buyer pays the price for the object。 句中a contract whereby the seller transfers……意为:a contract by which the seller transfers……
以上是对外经贸合同英语中几个典型旧体词用词方面的重要的特点,笔者希望初涉外经贸合同的教师和学生予以留意,有针对性地学习,达到事半功倍的效果;也希望进行外贸合同写作时也能把握住这几个特点,写出好的外经贸合同,顺利地进行外贸业务往来。
1。thereof
以”there”为前缀加上介词构成的词,如thereafter, thereby, therein, thereinafter, thereinbefore, thereon, thereof, thereunder, thereupon, therewith等,在文中具体指什么,需要读者依照合同的上下文来判断,因而理解起来比较复杂,请看下例:
This Agreement is written in the English language。 In case of any discrepancy between the English version and any translation thereof, the English text shall govern。 句中”the English version and any translation thereof”从上下文判断意为 “the English version and any translation of the English version”,即thereof一词代替of the English version。与以here开头的词如hereof的理解方法类似。
2。therein
该词意为in that, in that particular
context, in that respect,“在那里”,“在那点上”,“在那方面”,表示上文已提及的“合同中的”“工程中的”。如:the contract or any part thereof意为the contract or any part of the contract,合同或合同的任何部分。
3。thereto
该词意为:to that,“随附”,“附之”,如:“Contract Products” means the products specified in Appendix 2 to this Contract, together with all improvements and modifications thereof or developments with respect thereto。 句中or developments with respect thereto 意为:or developments with respect to the developments。
4。thereunder
该词意为:under that, “在其下”,“依照”,如:The Borrower fails to pay any amount payable thereunder as and when such amount shall become payable。 句中any amount payable thereunder意为any amount payable under the contract。
在英语村里,模拟了现实生活中的四个场景——“城市馆”、“自然馆”、“生活馆”和“商业馆”,四个场馆中的部分物品和布景都是实物,每个场馆又被分成几个场景,外教和中教轮流授课,我们这次可真是与英语世界来了个亲密接触。在全英语的语言环境和实物情境下,我们对学习英语的兴趣变得前所未有的高涨。就比如说在城市馆里吧,刚进城市馆,一个美丽的大都市——上海的模型立刻呈现在我们的面前,那一个个地标性建筑物的模型,在镭射灯光的映衬下是显得格外的雄伟壮丽,你甚至猜想不到的是在城市馆里居然会有一节能移动的地铁车厢,在最后一节课中,老师终于带着我们“乘坐”了一次地铁,这“地铁”中,老师不停的作者令人捧腹的`动作,使得大家都争先恐后的想“乘坐”一次平时已经坐得习以为常的地铁。每当外教拉开悬挂的粉红色幕布时,或旋转布景板进行场景切换时,我们都会发出声声惊叹,因为,我们以前从来没有这样学习过英语。在商业馆的超市里,甚至可以看到真实的收银机等等实物,我们真实地体验着用英语对话来购物的整个流程,我们扮演着不同的角色,来学习这个角色所要说得话;在生活馆里,老师会用英语生动地为我们介绍各式厨具用品,并且还和我们做游戏,让我们在游戏当中来巩固与加深你对这个英语单词的印象,如果你读得好的话,老师会和你拍手,表示鼓励;在自然馆中,我们仿佛亲身来到了大自然中,有热带雨林,有北极,海洋,在教室的墙上还贴着国家的地图和标着英语单词的国旗名称,在自然馆中最有趣的还是要数在进门时有一座假山,不高的假山上悬挂着一个吊绳,仿佛可以真的用来攀岩一般。我们不时为老师们幽默、生动的语言、表情和肢体动作爆发出阵阵笑声,为同学的精彩表现鼓掌加油。
通过这次活动,让我们在现实生活中快乐的学习了一次英语,也然我的英语水平提高了不少,希望以后这样的实践活动多一些,能够我们丰富我们的课外生活。我期待着有更多的同学能来到这个英语村里来,让他们也体验到更多学习英语的快乐!
