First of all, your nose is nearly covered with your bloody moustache and your beard, Mr Gogarty replied. Mr Allen apologised for his "hirsute" appearance.

He was incredibly hirsute: there was even a thick pelt of hair on the back of his hands.

主题：每日一句：Can you just give me a ballpark figure?( 11.29 )

Can you just give me a ballpark figure?
能不能给我一个大概的数字？
----------------------------------------------------------------------
　　Ballpark 指的是专供球类比赛的公园, 特别是指大型的棒球场。在棒球比赛时都会报当天的观众人数, 例如是 49132 人，这个数字49132 就是ballpark figure，但这只是一个大约的估计数字而已，所以 ballpark figure 的意思就是指大约的估计数字。
　　在公司里如果老板问会计，上个月水电费总共多少钱，之后再加上一句，"Just give me a ballpark figure"，意思就是我只要一个大略的数字就行了。甚至有些老美懒到就只说 ballpark，所以，在口语中，有时候ballpark也就代替了ballpark figure了。
　　需要注意的是，这是纯粹的美国俚语，和美国人交谈的时候这样说通常是没问题的。但是如果去跟英语同样也很流利的印度人、或是在美国住了很久的外国人说，不能保证他们能听得懂。（本句选自《小笨霖英语笔记本》）

主题：每日一笑 Your Time Has Come (11.29)

A person went to Africa and was captured by

the native tribesmen. The savages encircled him,

threw him on the ground, and yelled loudly.

Frightened to death, he prayed to God,

"Oh, God! What shall I do now? Good grief,

perhaps my time has come. Please save me quickly!"

God replied, "No, your time has not come yet."

The poor fellow asked, "What shall I do then?"

God told him, "It's all right, just listen to me.

Stand up bravely, snatch the knife from the

chief's hand, and strike right at his heart."

The man acted accordingly; he seized

the chief's knife, thrust it through the

chief's heart, and killed him. Then the

poor man asked again, "God, I have thrust

the knife through his heart, so what now?"

God answered him: "Now your time has come!"

His time had not yet come before he did that.

时间到了

有一个人跑到非洲那边去，被一个部落给抓起来压他在地下，

这时那些非洲部落的人都围绕在他旁边哇哇叫……。他在那边

吓得求上帝：「哦，上帝啊！我现在怎么办呢？哎呀！

我大概时间到了，赶快救我！」上帝说：「还没有，

你时间还没到！」那个受难的人就说：

「那我现在应该怎么办呢？」

上帝说：「没关系，你听我的！你勇敢的站起来，

把那个酋长的刀子抢过来，拿它刺在他心脏的地方。」

于是他照做，把酋长的刀子抢过来，插在他心脏里面，

酋长就死了。然后那个受难的人再问：「上帝，

我已经把刀子插在他心脏里面，现在怎么样啦？」

结果上帝说：「现在你时间到了！」以前还没到。

Word of the Day for Wednesday, November 28, 2007

incongruous \in-KONG-groo-us\, adjective:

1. Lacking in harmony, compatibility, or appropriateness.
2. Inconsistent with reason, logic, or common sense.

I have since often observed, how incongruous and irrational the common Temper of Mankind is.
-- Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe

She made nightdresses and petticoats in the old-fashioned mode and sold them to a shop in the market town -- one of those exclusive little shops with a single garment and something imaginatively incongruous -- a monkey's skull or an old boot -- arranged in the window.
-- Alice Thomas Ellis, Fairy Tale

They made an incongruous pair as they walked on: one was slight and dapper, some thirty-five years in age, with long, clipped mustaches, and dressed in the height of modern elegance, complete with pearl buttons and gold watch chain. The other, ambling a few paces behind, was a towering fellow with grizzled mutton-chop whiskers, whose ill-fitting frock coat barely contained a barrel chest.
-- Ben Macintyre, The Napoleon of Crime

Incongruous comes from Latin incongruus, from in-, "not" + congruus, "agreeing, fit, suitable," from congruere, "to run together, to come together, to meet."

主题：每日一笑 The Secret of Long Life(11.28)

The Secret of Long Life

(Originally In English)

There was an old man about 85 years old

in very robust health. Newspaper and television

journalists came on his birthday to interview him

about the secret of long life. So he said, "Oh, no

problem, I just walk about five miles every day,

and then I do some bicycling and swimming

whenever I like. But walking is a basic routine in

my life; I make it a point to walk five miles a day,

every morning." But one of the journalist was very

skeptical, said, "My father also walked five miles

every day but he died at fifty." So the old man

said, "Now then, he didn't do it long enough,

that's why."

有一个老人，大概八十五岁左右，身体很硬朗。

他生日那天，报纸、电视记者都来采访，请教他

长寿的秘诀。他回答说：「也没什么！我只不过

每天走五里路，有的时候骑骑脚踏车、游游泳

而已。不过走路是固定的，每天早上一定要走

五里路才行。」

　有一个记者觉得很怀疑，就问道：「咦！我爸爸

每天也走五里路，可是他五十岁就去世了！」老人

回答说：「那就是因为他运动得不够久才这样。」

意思说他应该要运动到八十五岁才能长寿！。
