2000年9月3日

1.The Olympic Games have a famous motto,written in the ancient language of Latin.The motto is citius,altius,fortius,which in English means faster,higher,stronger.It praises the idea of always working hard,and trying to be the best you can be.Try to apply this motto to learning English,and you too can be a winner!看来我们学习英语也要发扬奥林匹克的精神。

2.看看这句名言，值得我们每个人深思。
Time cannot be lengthened by man's subjective will,but it can be shortened by his wasting it.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

3.策划行动－－hatch the plan其中hatch做动词意思是：form a plan secretly.
起草提案－－draft the proposal.
管理方案－－manage the project.

4.采取主动take the initiative

5.你必须对你的决定所负责。You must be accountable for your decision.

6.来翻译一下这句话，别看句子简单，要想翻的准确不是很简单的事。

中秋节是阴历的八月十五。根据公历，那一天是今年的9月12日。对华人来说这是庆祝的最佳时刻。
Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.On the Western calendar,that's September 12 this year.For the Chinese,it's the perfect time to celebrate.
