乌克兰地理位置重要，自然条件良好。历史上为兵家必争之地，乌因而饱经战乱。乌克兰民族是古罗斯族的分支。“乌克兰”一词最早见于《罗斯史记》（１１８７年）。公元９—１２世纪，现乌克兰大部地区并入基辅罗斯。１２３７年至１２４１年，蒙古金帐汗国（拔都）西征占领基辅，城市遭破坏。１９２２年苏联成立，东乌克兰加入联盟，成为苏联创始国之一。１９３９年１１月，西乌克兰与乌克兰苏维埃社会主义共和国合并。１９９１年，乌克兰脱离苏联，宣布独立，并改国名为乌克兰。乌克兰工农业均较发达。主要工业部门有冶金、机械制造、石油加工、造船、航天、航空等。盛产谷物和糖，其经济实力在原苏联居第二位，在原苏联有“粮仓”之称
乌克兰最有名的事件是切尔诺贝利核泄漏事故
还有记忆中的乌克兰大肥猪，乌克兰大白猪身躯肥硕，半年之内体重可达120—130公斤。由于饲料天成，其肉质香味独特。而乌克兰人用肥猪肉做成的萨洛，更是猪肉制品中的佳品

COCKNEY英语的t就是不发音的，比如water，会发出[ˈwɔ:ə]的音，math发出[mæf]的音。
还有比如cockney不用my，用me，my book他们说me book，所以碰到像me book之类的说法不要轻易说错哦！
估计连母语是英语的听cockney英语都是一头雾水，不过我估计你听的不会是cockney，你还是没听仔细，仔细听应该能听出t的音，很轻。

Residents unaware of Jiao Dan’s terrible fate

8th April 2009, 6:00 WST

The short scream was enough to bring two Innaloo residents to their windows to peer into the dark.
   
Minutes later they turned away, unaware that just metres outside their warm homes a woman was about to be murdered.
   
Jiao Dan, 22, had been brimming with plans for her future when she arrived from China in December 2006.
  
Bright and hard working, she juggled her first year of a commerce degree at Edith Cowan University with a late-night cleaning job to repay her parents the money they had lent her.
   
Tragically, the overseas stint her parents hoped would enrich their only child robbed her of her life.
Dannie Adam Wright had been out of jail just one day and was returning by train to his aunt’s Gwelup home after an alcohol and drug-fuelled evening when he spotted Jiao Dan about 11pm on October 8, 2007. What happened next was detailed during Wright’s murder trial. Jiao Dan had missed her usual train after finishing her cleaning job. Taking a later train, she got off at Stirling station and started walking to her Oswald Street duplex.
   
Her pace quickened as the footsteps behind her failed to drop back and the light of the train station fell into the distance.
   
She had sometimes worried about walking home alone but always decided against troubling her friends for company, telling herself the frightful night that lay in the back of every woman’s mind would not come.
   
Tonight was that night.
   
She was just metres from home when Wright caught up with her.
   
Thick drops of Jiao Dan’s blood fell to the pavement after the first strike.
   
A slim woman, Jiao Dan didn’t stand a chance as Wright pulled her across a wide, dimly lit verge to the dark veil of a tree and continued the horrific beating.
   
A single, truncated scream was all she could manage before Wright broke the bones in her face, pulled her to the ground and began strangling her.
   
In a nearby house, that scream prompted Sarah Urquhart to instinctively check the time before going to her window and staring out into the night.
   
She was not the only resident to do so. Nor was she alone in ruling out further action after she saw nothing sinister in the sometimes noisy street.
   
At that moment, hidden in the shadows, Jiao Dan may have been clawing desperately to release the pressure of the killer’s hands around her throat.
   
It’s possible she lost consciousness before Wright pulled off her clothes and subjected her to a brutal sexual assault.
   
He left his young victim bleeding on the grass as he finally buried the Corona beer bottle he had used in the attack deep inside one of the wheelie bins that lined the street waiting for the next day’s rubbish collection.
   
Severely injured and alone, Jiao Dan remained alive for hours after the assault. Her body fought hard against the death closing in, desperately trying to heal the horrific damage.
   
But as a light rain began to fall, she lost the battle and succumbed to the pneumonia that rapidly took hold as she lay weakened and exposed to the cold night.
   
It was not until 6am that her pale body was found by a man as he came to collect a colleague for work.
   
The man lay a bedsheet across Jiao Dan’s semi-naked body, giving back some of the dignity that had been brutally taken from her, as his friend called police. Officers were spilling into cordoned-off Oswald Street as Wright awoke on October 9 thinking he would get away with his sickening crime.
   
He was wrong.
   
Within hours, forensic police came across a bloodied bottle in a nearby wheelie bin that, as fate would have it, never made it to rubbish collection that morning.
   
On that bottle police would find a bloodied fingerprint matching Wright’s left index finger.

修饰people，只能放在1，放在2修饰products，这是修饰词的就近原则。
2种在语法上都没有错误，但1确定的修饰people，而2可能修饰products，也可能是people，造成混淆，所以不合适。

另外，face做动词时候，后面不用介词with，直接face so many products。

感觉楼主急需系统学习一下语法，或者去做一下托福GMAT之类的改错题，看到你问的2个问题都是最常见的错误。

belt
A punch or haste. E.g. 'I'm just going to belt around the corner to give that bloke who ran off with my wife a good belting.'

better half
Henerally speaking, your wife. It's funny, they never call us their better half. In any case, I certainly know who wears the panties in my family!

bib and tucker
Used to describe quality clothing. 'He was decked out in his best bib and tucker.'

bible basher
Religious zealot. Personally, I think born again Christians are a bigger pain the second time around!

1. The DR650 ends up getting used more as it is no problem to ride it all day on pavement with some dirt thrown in
结果用DR650更多， 因为就算有灰尘进去，在公路上开一天也没事。

为什么鹰是美国的象征？

　　Why is the Eagle the national emblem of the United States?

　　In 1782, US Congress selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the newly formed United States, because it symbolized courage and might, and because it was indigenous only to the United States and to Canada.

　　The national seal depicts the bald eagle with its wings spread, with one claw clutching an olive branch, and the other claw grasping arrows. The eagle, however, strikes different poses on other national depictions.

　　The bald eagle owes its name to the early American colonists, and is bald in name only. As the white-headed American eagle differed from the European gray eagle, the colonists used their word for white, which translated into bald, in describing it. Unfortunately for the eagle, the literal translation, bald-headed, stuck like a toupee.

　　Since ancient times, men have identified themselves with the eagle, because it creates an impression of majesty and of power while in flight. As early as 5,000 years ago, ancient Sumerians chose the eagle, in spread eagle form, as their emblem symbolizing their power. Ancient Romans followed suit, as did Emperor Charlemagne, and finally Napoleon. No doubt, Congress considered the eagle's historical pedigree as being the animal representing a nation's power, when selecting it to be the national emblem of the United States.

　　note:

　　bald eagle: 秃头鹰

　　indigenous: 本土的

　　toupee: 假发

　　follow suit: 跟着做

　　pedigree: 血统

介绍一首美丽的情诗，这首著名的情诗，来自于英国最伟大的浪漫主义诗人、民主自由的杰出斗士、贵族中的叛逆－天才的拜伦 George Gordon Byron

翻译的也很棒。

我见过你哭  I saw thee weep

我见过你哭                       I saw thee'weep
晶莹的泪珠                       The big br'ight tear
从蓝眼睛滑落                     Came o'er that eve of blue
像一朵梦中出现的紫罗兰           And then m'ethought it did appear
滴下清透的露珠                   A violet dropping dew
我见过你笑                       I saw thee'smile
连蓝宝石的光芒                   The sapphire's blaze
也因你而失色                     Beside thee'ceased to shine
它怎能比得上在你凝视的眼神中     It could not match the living rays
闪现的灵活光彩                   That filld'that glance of thine
就如同夕阳为远方的云朵           As clouds from yonder sun receive
染上绚烂的色彩                   A deep and mellow dye
缓缓而来的暮色也不能             Which scarce the shade of coming eve
将霞光逐出天外                   Can banish from the sky
你的笑容让沉闷的心灵             Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
分享纯真的欢乐                   Their own pure joy impart
这阳光留下了一道光芒             Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
照亮了心灵上空                   That lightens o'er the heart

前几天，为了去Fiji潜水，去网上找了很多资料来看，看到一篇游记，其中一段描写很不错，贴来与大家共享：

On all of these dives you realize why Fiji is called the soft coral capital of the world. Being familiar with Red Sea and South Eastern Asia dives, I had never witnessed such density and color variations for coral. Typically the dives occur around the walls of large patches coming up from the depths, crowned with glittery golden, blood red or lavender purple soft corals and swarms of anthias. On each dives we spotted grey reef or whitetip sharks, large spanish mackerels.. we sometimes had to choose whether we’d try to follow the large schools of trevallies and barracudas or the ubiquitous shark.

我试着翻译了一下，总感觉不好，不知有没有高手指点一下：
在所有这些潜水过程中，你会知道，为什么斐济被称为世界软珊瑚之都。我熟悉红海和东南亚沿海，但是我从来没有看到过如此高密度和富于色调变化的珊瑚。通常，潜水是在通向深海的墙附近，闪光的金色、鲜艳的红色或者薰衣草紫色的珊瑚和成群的     。在每一次潜水中，我们看到了灰珊瑚鲨、白鳍鲨和大马鲛鱼。有时我们不得不选择是跟随大群的鲹鱼和梭鱼或者是到处可见的鲨鱼。
