篇1：讨论其他同事英语
讨论其他同事英语
In this conversation, some members of an office clique1 are standing2 around the water cooler. They are mostly gossiping about employees who don’t belong to the clique.
Julie: Did you see Nadia this morning? I really don’t like
the dress she’s wearing.
Sally: I know what you mean. Her clothes are never in fashion, anyway.
Michael: Hey, I heard through the grapevine that Todd will
probably get the new job in Marketing3.
Sally: I’m not surprised. He’s such a brown-noser.
Bill: Yeah, the only reason he’s moved up so fast is by sucking up all the time.
Mira: I heard that there was a little back-biting involved, too!
Michael: Did you hear the latest rumor4? Mario and Vanessa have the hots for each other. Someone saw them together a few days ago.
Mira: No kidding! And he’s still going out with Florence.
Julie: Shh ... keep it down. Chuck’s coming. He can be a real rumor-mongerer.
. . . . .
Chuck: Hi, everyone. What’s up?
参考译文：
在下面的对话里，办公室的一个小集团里的几个成员站在水冷却器旁。他们可能是在谈论那些不属于他们集团的其他同事。
Julie: 你今天早上看见Nadia了吗?我一点都不喜欢她穿的衣服。
Sally: 我明白你的意思。她的衣服从来都很土。
Michael: 嘿，我听(传闻)说Todd很有可能调到市场部工作。
Sally: 我一点都不觉得惊讶，他可是个马屁精。
Bill: 就是，他之所以升职那么快，惟一的原因就是他每时每刻都在拍马屁。
Mira: 我听说还和他诽谤别人有关。
Michael:你听到最新的谣传了吗?Mario 和 Vanessa好上了。有人前些天看见他们在一起。
Mira: 别开玩笑了。他现在还在和Florence 约会呢。
Julie: 嘘，小点声。Chuck来了。他是十足的传谣者。. . . . .
Chuck: 大家好，谈什么呢?

篇2：讨论空调的利弊为话题的英语作文
In recent years, the air-conditioner has become one of the many indispensable electrical appliances for thousands upon thousands of families, especially those in the south, where the intense heat overwhelms the earth throughout the summer. The advantages of the air-conditioner are self-evident. Armed with the ability to refrigerate, the air-conditioner makes you feel refreshing and comfortable no matter how hot it is outside. Thus it guarantees the efficiency of your work and the quality of your rest. Without it there would be no knowing what would happen to you in the dog days. Moreover, it can also create a proper condition in summer for the operation of computers -- the best friends of yours in the information age. Too high a temperature would make computers work improperly, causing much inconvenience for your daily life and work.
With all the advantages the air- conditioner offers, its disadvantages are also obvious. To begin with, the installment of the air-conditioner always involves the hole making in the wall, which undoubtedly makes the wall less pleasing to the eye than if not. Besides, the air-conditioned environment may make you more and more dependent on the air-conditioner, thus physically weakening your ability to cope with hot weather. Most important, the air - conditioned environment provides poor ventilation, and sometimes may even give rise to a strange kind of smell, which makes you feel dizzy and sick. Consequently, you will be in no mood for enjoying the cool air produced by the air- conditioner.
All things considered, I think its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Actually, nothing in the world is perfect. It is unwise to make light of the favorable aspects of a thing on account of its unfavorable aspects. The same is true of the attitude you take towards the air-conditioner.
篇3：讨论大学生活英语作文
When I was young at high school,I couldn't stop dreaming about my college life again and again.Suffering too much pressure form college entrance test,I always admired college students for their relaxed life in college.
In my personal opinion,living in university is an enjoyment.Every day we can open our eyes naturally,and put on clothes in our own style without warring about teachers' rigid control.Communicating with great master is no longer beyond our reach.Each course we take can be a feast for our mind and soul.After class,we will lead a rich and colorful life filled with various leisure activities such as .Library in university is another factor I pursue.I think it's an access to enhancing our comprehensive abilities to read even just scan all sorts of
writings.What's more,we will have so much disposable time that we can do whatever worthy.And our contact group will be extended signally via organizing and participating many activities.All in all,I once imagined that I can live a life that is substantial but meaningful.
However,I just have to admit that what I just describe is really dream.Now living in SD I can't figure out what I pursue and make a feasible career planning.So many young cynics in this schoolyard argue for something meaningless.Worse still,the academic atmosphere has already done with nothing left.I haven't found a busy but rich thing to try my best.As a matter of fact,I even can't choose a lifestyle I prefer.What a tragedy it is between dream and reality.

篇5：办公室不宜讨论的话题
话题一、家庭财产之类
不是你不坦率，坦率是要分人和分事的，从来就没有不分原则的坦率，什么该说什么不该说，心里必须有谱，就算你刚刚新买了别墅或利用假期去欧洲玩了一趟，也没必要拿到办公室来炫耀，有些快乐，分享的圈子越小越好。被人妒忌的滋味并不好，因为容易招人算计。
相应对策：无论露富还是哭穷，在办公室里都显得做作，与其讨人嫌，不如知趣一点，不该说的话不说。
话题二、薪水问题
疑问：薪水问题可以交流吗？
很多公司不喜欢职员之间打听薪水，因为同事之间工资往往有不小差别，所以发薪时老板有意单线联系，不公开数额，并叮嘱不让他人知道。同工不同酬是老板常用的手段，用好了，是奖优罚劣的一大法宝，但它是把双刃剑，用不好，就容易促发员工之间的矛盾，而且最终会掉转刀口朝上，矛头直指老板，这当然是他所不想见的，所以对“包打听”之类的人总是格外防备。
相应对策：如果你碰上有这样的同事，最好早做打算，当他把话题往工资上引时，你要尽早打断他，说公司有纪律不谈薪水；如果不幸他语速很快，没等你拦住就把话都说了，也不要紧，用外交辞令冷处理：“对不起，我不想谈这个问题。”有来无回一次，就不会有下次了。
话题三、私人生活
疑问：私人生活在办公室说好吗？
无论失恋还是热恋，别把情绪带到工作中来，更别把故事带进来，
办公室里容易聊天，说起来只图痛快，不看对象，事后往往懊悔不迭。可惜说出口的话泼出去的水，再也收不回来了。
把同事当知己的害处很多，职场是兑技场，每个人都可能成为你的对手，即便是合作很好的搭档，也可能突然变脸，他知道你越来越容易攻击你，你暴露的越多越容易被击中。
比如你曾告诉她男友跟别人好了，她这时候就有说头：“连老公都不能搞定的人，公司的事情怎么放心交给她。”职场上风云变幻，环境险恶，你不害人，同时也不得不防人，把自己的私域圈起来当成办公室话题的禁区，轻易不让公域场上的人涉足，其实是非常明智的一招，是竞争压力下的自我保护。“己所不欲，勿施于人”，如果你不先开口打听别人的私事，自己的秘密也不易被打听。
相应对策：千万别聊私人问题，也别议论公司里的是非短长。你以为议论别人没关系，用不了几个来回就能绕到你自己头上，引火烧身，那时再逃跑就显得被动。
话题四、野心勃勃的话
疑问：野心勃勃的话会对你有什么威胁？
在办公室里大谈人生理想显然滑稽，打工就安心打工，雄心壮志回去和家人、朋友说。在公司里，要是你没事整天念叨“我要当老板，自己置办产业”，很容易被老板当成敌人，或被同事看作异己。如果你说“在公司我的水平至少够副总”或者“35岁时我必须干到部门经理”，那你很容易把自己放在同事的对立面上。
相应对策：因为野心人人都有，但是位子有限。你公开自己的进取心，就等于公开向公司里的同僚挑战。僧多粥少，树大招风，何苦被人处处提防，被同事或上司看成威胁。做人要低姿态一点，是自我保护的好方法。你的价值体现在做多少事上，在该表现时表现，不该表现时就算韬晦一点也没什么不好，能人能在做大事上，而不在大话上。

神奇的汉语，愚笨的英语！
最不喜欢听一瓶子不满半瓶子摇的人讲汉语的坏话。什么“汉语不精确了”，“汉语不
能细化了”。记得的本人都中学的时候，语文课本上堂而晃之地写着：“走拼音化道路
是汉语的必然趋势。”其中最主要的一条理由便是，英文可以打字，而汉语不能。现在
回想起来真可笑。随着计算机技术的发展，汉字的键盘输入速递已远远超过英文，而且
还在虽这技术进步而不断快速提高。可英文？滞步不前了吧。
现代所有学科领域，中国都有很好的学者，没听说哪位因汉语“不精确”而搞不好
研究的。中国的火箭照样可以精确升空，中国的原子弹照样可以精确爆炸。所有的英文
科技文献都可以翻译成汉语。所有的英文科技文献都可以翻译成汉语。汉语文献影响力
正随着国力的增强而在世界范围内增强。
下面举个最简单的例子来显示英文的笨拙：本人曾问系里的几个教授“长方体”
如何用英文讲，可这几位母语是英文的工科教授竟说不知道，接下来连问几个本地的研
究生，结果他们也不知道。着实令我大吃一惊！现在我要问读者：您知道么？反正不是
Cube，Rectangular...。后来，我倒是真的在字典里找到了该词，可现在又忘了，原因
是它太生辟。感叹，英文真是笨人的语言，试图给天下每一事物起一个名字。宇宙无
穷，英文词汇无! 词汇如“光幻觉”、“四环素”、变阻器”、“碳酸钙”、“高
血压”、“肾结石”、“七边形”、“五面体”都只有专业人士才会。根本不可能象汉
语那样触类旁通，不信？去亲自问问母语是英文的人好了。英文是发散的。搞的一些基
本概念如“长方体” 也只有专家才 会讲！怪不得英文世界里专家那么多，而且都那么
自信；是啊，一般人连他们的基本术语如“酒精绵球”“血压计”都不会讲。生活在英
文世界真是对无知无奈！可悲 可怜！ 英文是一维的，是密码语言。写英文是编
码，读英文是解码。细想想：如把英文的a、b、c、d、e换成1、2、3、4、5，并没有什
么原则上的区别。按上边的对应，如一开始就把cab写成312，用一样的读音，又有什么
不可以？汉语就不同了，是二维的(纸面上的最大维数)，最大限度地利用了纸面的几何
空间。每个汉字就是一幅画。试问从一幅画上得到的信息快，还是从一行密码中得到的
信息快？ | 国家汉字的扫盲标准是1500个字，理工科的大学生一般掌握个汉
字。就凭这2000个字，大家可以读书、看报、搞科研。可在英文世界里，没有20000个
字别想读报，没有30000个字别想把周刊读顺，大学毕业后的职业人士一般都懂
80000字。新事物的|涌现，总伴随者英文新词，例如火箭(ROCKET)，计算机(COMPUTER)
等，可汉语则无须，不就是用“火”驱动的“箭”么，会“计算”的“机”么！可英文
就不能这么干，不能靠组词，原因是“太长”了。如火箭将成为
“FIRE-DRIVEN-ARROW”，计算机将成为“COMPUTAIONAL-MACHINE”等。人的视角有
限，太长的字会降低文章的可读性与读者的理解能力。
目前，英文词汇已突破40万，预计下世纪中叶，将突破100万大关。
而汉语则相对稳定，现在中学生还可以琅琅上口地读屈原的楚词。英文就难了，太
不稳定。现在的人们读沙士比亚的原著已困难重重，更不用说读4前英国诗人乔叟
的诗了。学GRE的时候，注意到很多韦氏字典收录的词汇竟是本世纪件初的新词，如
“Gargantuan”取自拉伯雷的小说。这也不奇怪，毕竟英文400年前才统一了拼写。
为汉语辩护！呼吁那些糟蹋汉语的人注意以下事实：(1)联合国5种文字的官方文件
中最薄一本一定是汉语；(2)汉语的精确性已为蓬勃发展的中国科技事业所证实；(3)
计算机语音输入最具有希望的是汉语；(4)汉语是稳定的是收敛的，英文是不稳定的是
发散的；(5)汉语是二维信息是生动的是高效的，英文是一维信息是密码型的是枯燥低
效的。(6)在英文世界里能读文学名著是一件了不起的`事，不是所有受过大学教育的人
都能干的。
如阅读中用英文描述的非州的一些植物真是艰涩无比，一般英美人也只能囫囵吞枣而已
；可在中文世界里，又有谁会对仅有中学学历的人读完四大名著而感到惊奇？(7)当今
虽是英语文明的蓬勃期。但在历史的长河中，So far，英文世界的文明史远比汉语世界
的文明史短。
为汉语骄傲！更为坚信汉语时代即将到来的中国人的热情与信心而欢呼！

如同这个贴子的标题一样，其内容确实只能是一家之言。
我们都热爱汉语，汉语也有其很多方面的优点，但不可
否认的是，汉语也有缺点。
关于键盘输入，熟练用户的汉字输入速度确实超过英文，
不过这是以什么为代价的？美国文盲也能拿过键盘来输
英文，中国人行吗？由于英文输入的容易性，导致没有
谁来发明英文输入法。不过，我相信，如果真有人开发
出英文输入法的话，其速度不会输给汉语输入法。不过，
文字输入的未来发展方向是语音输入，讨论这个没有太
大的意义。
汉语在信息技术发展的初期，极大地阻碍了中国的信息
技术发展。了解电脑技术的人都知道，在电脑的DOS时代，
由于内存和硬盘等外存储器的局限性，致使全中文内核的
操作系统的发展极为困难，只有26个字母的英文由于占用
资源少，编码相对容易，占了很大便宜。
如今随着电脑硬软件技术的发展，特别是UNICODE编码的推广
和普及，人们在用电脑时汉字不再使人像以前那样感到不
方便，不过，由于汉字不像英文，可以仅由26个字母组合成
各种各样的单词，汉语在信息技术方面仍然无法被运用到
基层和核心的软件开发之中。你见过有程序员用汉语编程的
吗（严格地说，有少量软件可以容许程序员用汉语编程，但
在编译的过程中仍会将其转化为英语）？如果INTEL的奔腾芯
片的指令集都用汉语来写，速度会降低多少？
至于说英文里的一些科技术语如“长方体”的例子，这只
是特例。每种语言都有自己的特点。英语里同样有这么一些
词，小孩子都会说，但汉语里找不到对应的词或者根本就没
有。或者说，在英语里很普通的词，在汉语里要专家才知道。
你比如说DNA，中国人有多少知道它是“脱氧核糖核酸”的意思？
巴西的烤肉很有名，巴西人对牛和猪身上的每一个部位的肉
都有不同的词来表述，一共有20多个词，绝大多数在汉语里
根本找不到译法。
不错，英文是一维的，是密码语言。写英文是编码，读英文是解码。
但这也有其好处。英国和美国的文盲少。这固然有经济社会发展
水平的原因，语言的易学也是一个重要原因。英语只要听发音
就能大致将其在书面上拼写出来，看到一个单词文盲也能大致将其
念出来，这一点在拉丁语系语言里表现得
尤为明显。汉语就不可能。没上过学的中国人，听到某个人念出
某个汉字，他能将其写出来吗？更不用说汉语的多音字了。这就是
中国人为什么如此重视教育的原因之一。
汉语里习惯说短句子，英语里由于复合句型的原因长句子很常见，
老外的逻辑思维能力和推理能力受锻炼较多。中国人受汉语短句
子的习惯影响喜欢简洁明快。不过，汉语里汉字的构造复杂，据说
这能极大提高学生的数学能力。
不错，英语是发散性的语言。这正好证明了其生命力。语言是随着
社会、经济、技术、文化等各方面的发展而发展的。随着社会的发展，
历史向前推进，必然会有新词产生，有旧词被淘汰，这是健康的语言
发展现象，是文化发达、人们思想自由活跃、社会进步的一种表现。
如果一种语言很多年原封不动，没有新词出现，也没有
新的表达方式出现，这只能说明什么？可能我们有一个邻国属于这种
情况。
汉语里固然有火箭、计算机这种绝妙的新词创造法，但更多地还是
从外来语言中吸取和引进新词。从早期的雷达、干部、拖拉机等到近期的
BP机、CD、DVD等，外来词语在汉语中大量存在，此外，改革开放以来汉
语原创的新词语也大量涌现，从倒爷、打的、下海到下岗、网恋、游民
。。。。汉语就没有发散性吗？
不错，常用汉字总数确实不多，也就两三千字。但如果你只会这两三千字，
而不会词组的话，相信你连报纸也看不了。当然，你可以说，常用汉字加
上词组，其数量也不是很多，但汉字词组含义的微妙性和在不同场合的
不同含义，令汉语的表意相当丰富，光是“东西”这个词，就令多少外国人
头痛不已？更不用说阴平、阳平、上声和去声的区别了。有人认为，汉语的
最基本单位应该是句子，而不是词组，更不是单字。也就是说，你光是知道
字和词组的含义根本没用，你必须了解汉语里每个句子的含义。所以，单是
以单字和词组数量的多少来衡量汉语相对于英语的优点没有太大的意义。
至于说外国学生读莎翁和乔叟的著作感到困难，而中国学生读屈原的诗
很容易，以此来说明汉语的优点实在无法令人心服口服。这只能说明英
语在最近几百年的变化之大，而汉语在封建社会长期保持相对稳定，以
及中国重视古文教学。这也从侧面折射出西方世界在近几百年中经济社会
发展之迅速，以及中国封建社会里长期缓慢的经济社会发展水平。让中国
学生去读商周时期的甲骨文之类，同样不会很容易。
声明：本人绝不是要否定汉语、赞颂英语、以及崇洋媚外。只是觉得
上文所述观点有其片面之处，所以着重谈了汉语的相对缺点，而没有
重复上文中所阐述的汉语的很多优点。作为一个理性的人，应该懂得客观
地看待和分析问题，而不应让民族感情冲动阻碍自己的理性判断。
