LZ能不能选点常用一点的，并且后面都加上中文翻译。
立此存证
难兄所选多是口语化的，未免重复，所以才换了风格。
我是法律专业，每天只选一句专业化的，并有翻译。
其他是从英语原文中截选的，原文并无翻译。自己翻译出来，恐有不妥的地方，误人。
自己试着翻译一下：

1。Several days before the Chinese New Year, they clean out their houses and put up“New Year scrolls” on the doors, while the most important thing is to put up the red lanterns. This means they will be prosperous in the coming new year. On New Year’s Eve, everyone must eat jiaozi.
2。On the first day of the New Year, they just stay at home. On the second and third days, they go to visit their friends and relatives with some nice gifts. Elder generations will give the children some money. What the children get is not just the money itself, but the true love and warm wishes from their elder generations.
3。 Though they don’t have much money to buy something nice, the New Year gives them new hope. That’s enough for them
4。 The alarmists among us are once again proclaiming the sky is falling. “Chinese are losing their racial identities. They are turning to observing western holidays and special days in droves.” “Humbug,” I say. Tempest in a teacup, that’s what it is.

大家一起看
考研成绩下来了，看来要调剂。。。更郁闷！
路过。看看
楼主保重
------------------------------
谢谢啊！
这些天来，我一直在看《绝望主妇》，算是练英语听力，也又看央视9，重点在听力。所以贴出来的句子有时并不够满意。请见谅！
1。
Felicia:Sounds to me as if someone’s let go of his rage（发火）.
Mike:Maybe I have.
Felicia:Well,I haven’t.
Mary Alice Voiceover:Felicia took matters into her own hands.（要自己解决问题）
2。Karl put the ball in Susan’s court...（决定权给了苏珊）
3。A tried to take B to court（法庭）.

《绝望主妇》里面叙述的句子不错，可惜我觉得有点闷，看不下去

这比看英语科技文有意思多了。嘿嘿，我觉得效果不错。可惜我去年看《欲望都市》和《犯罪鉴证》时更多的注重故事情节，浪费了。
