There were flowers: delphiniums, sweet peas, bunches of lilac; and carnations, masses of carnations. There were roses; there were irises. Ah yes—so she breathed in the earthy garden sweet smell as she stood talking to Miss Pym who owed her help, and thought her kind, for kind she had been years ago; very kind, but she looked older, this year, turning her head from side to side among the irises and roses and nodding tufts of lilac with her eyes half closed, snuffing in, after the street uproar, the delicious scent, the exquisite coolness.

It’s the most romantic day of the year again, but for many people the cards they receive on February 14 are not from a Valentine, but from themselves. One in nine love letters or cards received on Valentine’s Day were sent by people to themselves “to save face on the ‘dreaded’ V-day,” according to a study announced by the British online retailer Amazon. co. uk on Thursday.
又到了一年中最浪漫的时刻，但是很多人在2月14日情人节这天收到的情人卡不是来自情人的，而是他们为自己寄出的。据英国网上零售商亚马逊公司在周四公布的一项调查，在情人节这天寄出的情书或情人卡中有九分之一都是担心自己在“可怕的”情人节这天收不到情人卡，为保全面子而给自己寄出的。
Amazon, which questioned more 1,000 people in Britain, France and Germany found that Germans were the least romantic, with 69 percent saying Valentine’s Day was unimportant, compared with 54 percent of Britons and 46 percent of French. The survey found that Germans were also the most likely to forget to give their partners a present while the French spent the most on their loved ones.

Unlike these exhibitions, (不像其它的展览会）it is the highest-class exhibition in the world. World Expos provide great（极大的机会） opportunities for a country, through motivating （激发，刺激）the whole nation, to demonstrate its social, economic and cultural achievements and future prospects in a comprehensive way. This is why（这是为什么） it is always such a large-scaled international activity for which countries compete vigorously with each other. It has been one and a half centuries since it was born. But till now,（到现在为止） only a few countries-America, Canada, Japan and South Korea have hosted World Expositions. Recently, Shanghai, one of China’s most prosperous and lively cities has been granted this golden chance （黄金机会）to host the World Expo in 2010.

The use of scholar and wind power is now increasing rapidly, raising hope that such alternative energy technologies can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate new jobs. The global wind power industry, for example, has become a $ 2-billion-a-year business, expanding at a rate of 25% per year. India, China, and a dozen European nations have installed thousands of wind turbines that generate electricity at a cost comparable to new coal-fired power plants. In the 1990s, Germany has created 10,000 new jobs in its wind industry. Wind power now provides less than 1% of the world’s total electricity, but that figure could climb to 20% or more in 50 years, according to Worldwatch Institute researchers. 太阳能和风能的利用正在迅速发展，这些可代替能源能极有可能在很大程度上减少温室气体排放，并创造新的就业岗位
比如，全球风能电力产业年利润达20亿美元， 并以每年25%的增长率增长。印度、中国和十多个欧洲国家安装了成千上万个的风力涡轮机，这些涡轮机产电的费用额与新的燃煤发电厂相当。20世纪90年代，德国创造了一万个风能业领域的就业岗位。虽然风能产生的电力占全世界总电力的不足1%，但世界观察协会的研究者表示这个数字在未来50年里将上升至20%。
As the fast food industry has grown more competitive in the United States, the major chains have looked to overseas markets for their future growth. The McDonald's Corporation recently used a new phrase to describe its hopes for foreign conquest: \realization.\A decade ago,
McDonald's had about three thousand restaurants outside the United States; today it has about fifteen thousand restaurants in more than 117 foreign countries. It currently opens about five new restaurants every day, and at least four of them are overseas.
随着美国快餐业竞争日趋激烈，许多快餐连锁企业将发展目光投向了海外市场。近来，麦当劳提出了海外发展的新口号“征服海外市场\以表开拓国外市场的决心。十年前，麦当劳在美国本土之外仅有3000多家餐厅；如今，麦当劳连锁餐厅多达1，5000，遍布世界117多个国家。目前每天有五家新的麦当劳餐厅开业，其中至少有四家是在美国国外。
Within the next decade, Jack Greenberg, the company's chief executive, hopes to double the number of McDonald's. The chain earns the majority of its profits outside the United States, as does KFC. McDonald's now ranks as the most widely recognized brand in the world, more familiar than Coca-Cola. The values, tastes,and industrial practices of the American fast food industry are being exported to every corner of the globe, helping to create a homogenized international culture that sociologist Benjamin Barber has label led \
公司首席执行官杰克 格林博格希望在未来十年公司连锁餐厅的数量增长一倍。与肯德基相似，麦当劳的大部分利润来自海外市场。“麦当劳” 已成为众人皆知的品牌，甚至比可口可乐更为人熟悉。它的商业理念，产品口味以及企业运作模式已被传递到世界各个角落，创造了全球统一的麦当劳企业文化。社会学家本杰明 巴博把它称之为“麦当劳文化”。
One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France.
