这几天连续翻文章，以我目前的水平身心上都很吃力，所以想偷懒于是上网浏览有关世界杯的新闻，无意中发现CCAV又跑出去丢人，一不忍心將中文网页翻译成英文算是今天的作业吧。还是依照国际惯例貼原文+翻译。

以下为今天的翻译作业，相比昨天速度要快些，可能是句法并不太复杂的缘故，但是专业术语很多，慢慢查，看了网上一些介绍如何提高阅读水平的文章，那些方法始终没有学会一招半式。现今唯一能做的就是用这种原始而又野蛮的方式愚公移山，消耗大量时间，我的青春还有么。

网路上稍微长点的新闻都很难一口气看完，也许是兴趣问题，也许是水平能力还很烂，所以只能挑些简短的文章来练手，依旧很不顺手。不知道这样能否提高阅读能力，现在的瓶颈是效率很低，这么小个段落也要花费很常时间，不少都用在查单词和理解句子意思上，有些地方应该还是不准确的。
前段时间瑞信女大战渣打小三的事情我最近才知道，话说瑞信工作的原配在夫妻感情完全无法挽回的情况下，群发邮件給朋友，怒斥丈夫与小三，而老公与小三也回信反击，隔空对战。3封全英文的email让我折服，更加感觉到自己文化层次的低级。曾几何时学好英文一直是心目中的一个奢望，在举步为艰的学习过程中枯燥无味一度成为巨大阻力。平心而论在科技日益发达的今天，人们也找到了一些相对苦中做乐的学习方法，与几年前相比出现了转机。再者，步入社会以后才发现以往不曾想过的现实状况。打心底里感慨，虽然在大学期间也是个努力學好专业课的正经学生，其实还是走出了不少弯路，造成今日之被动局面。
