3. I got suspended, and Monk got back on the payroll. 这里的队长Captain，被翻译成上尉，上校是不对的，因为他并没有军衔。

| 4. The investigation was officially underway. 调查正式开始了。 Underway是一个形容词， be underway有开始，正在进行之意，后者就相当于in progress. Xxx In process 可以在很多场合看到 比如考场外边可能会挂着silence! test in process; 工地外可能会挂着 no admittance! Construction in process; 上次看Kyle XY,那个心理医生（therapist）在自己家里给人做心理治疗的时候，房门上挂了个“xxx in process”，不过我忘了他们管那样的一次治疗叫什么了，懒得翻笔记。还有，财务上还有“在产品”这样的说法，用英语说就是 ‘work in process’, 去ATM取钱，“交易正在进行“应该翻译成 ‘transaction in process’ 而不是 ‘transaction is being processed’ 的吧。

| 5. By all accounts, he was an exceptional child. 大家都说他是个特殊的孩子。 Exceptional有outstanding 比如，He is an exceptional student他可是个尖子生。 不过，在这里，exceptional 是特殊之意， 所谓的exceptional child（特殊儿童），也就是指在身体和精神上异于常人的，往往需要别人的帮助和引导。这样的人可能是弱智，也可能像神探阿蒙一样是个天才。在生活在，我们说monk神探是exceptional，是说他是个白痴，而在查案上说他是exceptional，确实是说他很outstanding。 |

Sick Of It All
By Vincent the Pisshead :)
budy
you are missing the point
what’s the point of reasoning with a nutty piece of shit?
what’s the she-devil been doing is nothing but deplore deplore deplore
why?
that slut is out of her freaking mind can’t you tell with your own eyeballs?
cuz
she is a fucking biatch fucking whore
a wicked hag suffering from bedsore
an impossible hen bearing bitter rancor
a disturbed psycho who needs a drugstore
a pathetic loser who swores swores swores
now she the devil is giving me an ass-sore
now I need to dissect her with a claymore
literally
she is causing a severe pain in my asshole
now I real think I cannot take it anymore
the solution i can think of is gore gore gore
feeling like i can also use a fucking saw
slaughter slaughter slaughter
feeling like i can also use a scalpel
chop chop chop
cannot get enough of brutality and hardcore
now she deserves to be buried alive in a faraway moor
it’s like what was going on between them was sick amour
but
what the fuck?
why should we get involved?
these people should take a hike and never show up anymore
the door the door the door
they get a kick out of putting on a slapstick comedy but i’m sick of it all
for the love of our dearest god
just me give a freaking break and stop!
Working Late At The Office
By Vincent
An article previously posted by me on 19lou.com a couple of months ago. For audio of the dialogue, please go to www.eslpod.com.
I was so glad it was Friday afternoon. I’ve been thinking–TGIF–all day. I was on my way out of the office when I saw Nick sitting at his desk. Even though the office was nearly empty, he didn’t look like he was ready to leave. In fact, he looked like he was still swamped with work.
Linda: Hi, Nick. You’re here late.
Nick: Yeah, it looks like this may be an all-nighter. I just got a project dumped in my lap.
Linda:You’re kidding! On Friday afternoon? What happened?
Nick: Well, the person who wasput in charge ofthis project went on maternity leavethis week and the person who was supposed to take it overjustresigned.
Linda: I can’t believe that. When is the deadline?I hope you’re getting some extra help.
Nick: The project is due first thing Monday morning. And,
with the lay-offsrecently, I think I’m on my own on this one.
Linda: Why don’t youbring me up to speed ? Maybe I can help.
Nick: No, it’s Friday. You look like you’re about to head home. I can’t ask you to do that.
Linda: I don’t have any big plans for tonight.So, I’ll tell you what.I’m having some trouble finishing the budget
on my proposaland I know you’re a whiz at numbers. Why don’t I stay and help you with your project for the next few hours and you can give me a hand with my budget next week.
Nick: That’s really nice of you.It would be a big relief. I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed and I know you’ve done a project like this before. Okay, you’ve got a deal!
Linda: Good! Now, let’s see what we’ve got.

英语是一门叫Chemistry的课–避孕

This is an article written by me in February,2008.
Contravene
I assume most of your guys have no clue what this word means, cause you don’t use it at your daily work, or you find it’s too much a “big word” for you to add to your current vocabulary building. To memorize it more efficiently, you are highly recommended to take a look at its “word origin”, ( only in case you cannot tell its origin without taking a close look).
Date: 1500-1600 Language: French Origin: contrevenir, from Late Latin contravenire, from Latin contra- ( CONTRA-) + venire ‘to come’
This explanation speaks to me a lot.
contra =contre=against
and
venire obviously means to come.
Anyone who has gained a bit understanding of Francais shall know VENIRE’s definition. I suppose now you’ve got a rough idea what it means. Seemingly it means “ to do something agasint something”
If you happen to have a Collins Robert French Dictionary, look “Contrevenir” up, it says contrevenir a = to contravene, which means the English word “contravene” was derived from French with a considerably small change.
Then what the hell is the meaning of “contravene”? “ to do something that is not allowed according to a law or rule”, says the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English. In Chinese, it means违犯（法律等）; 违反: （指事物）与（某事物）相抵触; 不合於 Read more
