Following the Boston Tea Party, Dec. 16, 1773, in which American Colonists dumped 342 containers of tea into the Boston harbor, the British Parliament enacted a series of Acts in response to the rebellion in Massachusetts.In May of 1774, General Thomas Gage, mander of all British military forces in the colonies, arrived in Boston, followed by the arrival of four regiments of British troops. The First Continental Congress met in the fall of 1774 in Philadelphia with 56 American delegates, representing every colony, except Georgia. On September 17, the Congress declared its opposition to the repressive Acts of Parliament, saying they are "not to be obeyed," and also promoted the formation of local militia units. Thus economic and military tensions between the colonists and the British escalated. In February of 1775, a provincial congress was held in Massachusetts during which John Hancock and Joseph Warren began defensive preparations for a state of war. The English Parliament then declared Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion. On March 23, in Virginia, the largest colony in America, a meeting of the colony's delegates was held in St. John's church in Richmond. Resolutions were presented by Patrick Henry putting the colony of Virginia "into a posture of defense...embodying, arming, and disciplining such a number of men as may be sufficient for that purpose." Before the vote was taken on his s, Henry delivered the speech below, imploring the delegates to vote in favor.He spoke without any notes in a voice that became louder and louder, climaxing with the now famous ending. Following his speech, the vote was taken in which his s passed by a narrow margin, and thus Virginia joined in the American Revolution.No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope that it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen, if, entertaining as I do opinions of a very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty towards the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth -- to know the worst and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to themselves and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition ports with these warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation -- the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motives for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer on the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now ing on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free -- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending -- if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!They tell us, sir, that we are weak -- unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by ir and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of the means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable -- and let it e! I repeat it, sir, let it e!It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! Patrick Henry - March 23, 1775

Calling himself "a great admirer of the progressive, forward-looking leadership that President Lula has shown," President Obama opened up a joint press availability this afternoon after a meeting between the two heads of state. President Lula described the topics covered in the meeting, from stemming the global financial crisis, to addressing the unemployment around the world that results from it, to development in Africa and Latin America.
President Obama was also asked about Brazil’s almost unprecedented move towards biofuels, and whether that would create friction with biofuel producers in the United States, but both President Obama and President Lula struck a very positive, optimistic note:
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Is that directed at me? Well, look, I think Brazil has shown extraordinary leadership when it es to biofuels. And I've been a great admirer of the steps that have been taken by President Lula's government in pursuing biofuels and developing them. And this is an investment that Brazil has made for a very long time.
My policies ing into this administration have been to redouble efforts here in the United States to pursue a similar path of clean energy development. And I think we have a lot to learn from Brazil.
As I mentioned to President Lula, I think we have the potential to exchange ideas, technology to build on the biodiesel cooperation structure that we've already established. I know that the issue of Brazilian ethanol ing into the United States has been a source of tension between the two countries. It's not going to change overnight, but I do think that as we continue to build exchanges of ideas, merce, trade around the issue of biodiesel, that over time this source of tension can get resolved.

在各個英語論壇上，經常有網友拿出一些英词句子，請其余網友幫助翻譯成中文，是以這種“英翻中”的帖子天天都有良多。我發現，網友們皆很坦白，好比一個人發現别的一個人的譯文有錯誤，个别都會绝不客氣天指出，並寫出本人認為正確的譯文。不過比来兩天，我在兩個論壇上，分別看到兩個有明顯錯誤的中文譯文，不僅沒有人指出，乃至還有人讚同，因而我想寫一個帖子，簡單聊聊這兩個錯誤譯文。起首請看第一句話：

This email, including four attachments, may include confidential .

它的意思是：這启郵件，包含它的四個附件，极可能包括機密疑息(也就是五個文件都可能包括機稀信息)。這樣簡單的一句話，有些網友居然翻譯成：這封郵件，能够包罗四個附件，也可能包露機密信息。你看，意思齐錯了。為什麼會犯這種錯誤呢？我估計是果為：在一個句子中，先後出現了兩個雷同的動詞(include)，把這些網友搞胡涂了。按炤英語語法，第一個include是現在分詞，做為定語，用來建飾email，第两個include則是這句話的謂語動詞，是這句話的中心，而這些網友錯誤地以為這句話有兩個並列的謂語動詞，有兩個並列的焦点。所以我說，在“英翻中”之前，必然要將英文真正看懂，了解各個局部的功效，然後再翻譯成准確的中文。上面請繼續看第二句話：

I cannot remend this book too strongly for Java programmers.

有些網友將這句話翻譯為：我不克不及向Java法式員強烈推薦這本書。乍一看，譯文好象是對的，其實意思正好相反！這句話的正確意思是：(這本書太好了，因而)我必須背Java法式員強烈推薦這本書。這些網友之所以懂得錯誤，我看重要起因就是“看文死義”，看見cannot，便以為這句話是不是定的，其實cannot與too連用，偏偏是一定的。正在英語中，類似的情況好象還有一些，比方cannot與but連用，也是表達必定的意思，請看一個例句：

Vyacheslav Molotov (1889-1986) was Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union at the time of the signing of the Nazi-Soviet Non-aggression Pact, August 23, 1939. News of the Pact stunned the world and paved the way for the beginning of World War Two with Hitler assured the Germans would not have to immediately fight a war on two fronts.

Just two weeks after signing the Pact, Hitler's armies invaded Poland, with the Soviets later invading from the east. Poland was then divided up between the Nazis and Soviets, according to a secret protocol in the treaty.

Hitler then went on to successfully invade much of western Europe, achieving a stunning victory over France.

But for years, Hitler had stated that Germany's future living space, or lebensraum, existed to Germany's east, namely Russia. He then turned his attention toward the Soviet Union and launched a massive attack on June 22, 1941. Below is the initial Soviet reaction, broadcast to the people by Molotov.

Citizens of the Soviet Union:

　　Table Manners: a Cultural Difference

　　For many Westerners, the Chinese dinner table is terra incognita([推]已發現的地区). There are no forks or knives for the Westerners to use. The Chinese host makes great, sweeping（年夜範圍的）arm movements that go over large sections of the table passing over both food and friends alike. The scene is fantastic（十分好的）, but it leaves many foreigners at a loss（讓……困惑）for what to do. In most Western restaurants and homes there are rules about how to talk, eat and sit that are highly restrictive（受限度的）, and they create an atmosphere（氣氛）that is pletely different from what we find here in China. In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with hushed(壓低聲音的) voices, and the topics open for discussion were very much restricted. We were not allowed to bring up anything that was potentially unappetizing（倒胃心的）; body functions（上洗脚間）, bugs, murder and mayhem（令人肢體傷殘的止為）in general were all strictly forbidden topics. If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to verbally excuse myself without mentioning what it was that I was going to do. "May I be excused, please? I need to wash my hands." I would say.

　　My mother would say, "Sure." My father would often play a joke on us by saying，法翻中, "Your hands don't look dirty to me!"

　　As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed.

　　Everything must be done as quietly as possible. Therefore, we had to eat with our mouths closed. To make a "smacking" noise was, perhaps, the worst offence possible. While drinking soup or coffee or wine "slurping"（咕嘟咕嘟天喝）was also forbidden. If any sound whatever was created by our intake of food or beverage（飲料）, it constituted（搆成）bad manners! With that in mind, it was, of course, unthinkable to speak with one's mouth full of food, so speaking only occurred（發死）before or after one had taken in food and swallowed（吞吐）it.
