英国王室招管家 谨慎与忠诚最为重要

英国王室招管家 谨慎与忠诚最为重要

英国王室招管家谨慎与忠诚最为重要It has been the first port of call for aristocrats seeking reliable domestic staff for more than 125 years.这是125年来皇室成员第一次公开招聘诚信可靠的家政人员。

The Prince of Wales and the Queen Mother are both believed to have recruited servants via the classified adverts section of The Lady.据称威尔士王子和他的母亲女王殿下都曾在《女士》杂志的分类广告栏上发布过佣人招聘信息。

Less successful was the Duchess of York who once advertised for a dresser in Britain’s oldest lady’s weekly and appointed Jane Andrews, who was later jailed for murdering her boyfriend Tom Cressman.相较之下约克公爵夫人就没那么幸运了。

她也在这本历史最为悠久的女性周刊上刊登过招聘广告,却聘用了随后因谋杀男友汤姆?克雷斯曼而锒铛入狱的简?安德鲁斯。

Now it seems that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have resorted to placing an advert for a new housekeeper at their country home, Anmer Hall, in the pages of the illustrious magazine. 现在看来剑桥公爵夫妇也想在这本著名杂志上刊登一则招聘广告,为他们的乡间别墅”安莫庄园”找一个新的管家。

英美文学作家作品集合

英美文学作家作品集合

杰弗里·乔叟(Geoffrey Chaucer,1340年—1400年),英国中世纪著名作家,出生于一个酒商家庭。

1359年随爱德华三世的部队远征法国,被法军俘虏,不久以黄金赎回。

乔叟当过国王侍从,出使许多欧洲国家,两度访问意大利,发现了但丁、薄伽丘和彼特拉克的作品,对他的文学创作起了极大的作用。

代表作:《坎特伯雷故事集》(The Canterbury Tales)其他作品《公爵夫人之书》(Book of the Duchess)、《声誉之宫》(The House of Fame)、《百鸟会议》(The Parliament of Fowles)、《贤妇传说》(The Legend of Good Women)以及《特洛伊罗斯与克丽西达》(Troilus and Criseyde)。

乔叟于1400年10月25日在伦敦逝世,葬于威斯敏斯特教堂里的“诗人之角”。

乔叟的死因不明,可能是被谋杀,英国的中世纪研究专家特里·琼斯曾出了一本书《谁谋杀了乔叟?》。

乔叟率先采用伦敦方言写作,并创作“英雄双行体”,对英国民族语言和文学的发展影响极大,故被誉为“英国诗歌之父”。

艾德蒙·斯宾塞(1552-1599)毕业于剑桥大学,著名英国诗人,尤以十四行诗著称。

在不少英国批评家眼中,斯宾塞是英国历史上最伟大的诗人之一,与其齐名的,仅莎士比亚、弥尔顿、华兹华斯等二三人而已。

从一个外国读者的眼中来看,他的诗无疑是优美可诵的,例如他写的十四行诗,就不比莎士比亚逊色。

可以爱情小唱(1595)第75首为例:有一天我把她的名字写在沙滩上,大浪冲来就把它洗掉。

我把她的名字再一次写上,潮水又使我的辛苦成为徒劳。

“妄想者,”她说,“何必空把心操,想叫一个必朽的人成为不朽!我知道我将腐烂如秋草,我的名字也将化为乌有。

” “不会,”我说,“让卑劣者费尽计谋而仍归一死,你却会声名长存,因为我的诗笔会使你的品德永留,还会在天上书写你的荣名。

DCBACCDDBA BAD DBB ACA DCA BCB CBD DBC Unless you've been living under a rock, by now you have heard of Lance Armstrong. The unusual thing here is that you may have heard of him, but not always for the same reason. Some know him as a champion cyclist who set the world record by winning the Tour de France six times. Others may know of him through his philanthropic works, namely The Lance Armstrong Foundation and the yellow Livestrong wristbands that you see everywhere these days. Others may know him as a cancer survivor who decided to meet the challenges that cancer threw his way head on and came out the winner. Regardless of how you know of him, just knowing of him at all offers your life inspiration when you may need it most.

(Millions around the world properly celebrate him and his lofty accomplishment.) Lance Armstrong’s Heroism Is a Moral Inspiration By Andrew Bernstein When Lance Armstrong rode through Paris on Sunday, crowning his unprecedented seventh consecutive victory in the grueling Tour de France, he put an exclamation mark on what is more than merely an extraordinary athletic career. By this time, the entire world knows Armstrong’s story–his remarkable recovery from what was feared to be terminal cancer, his exhausting training program, his legendary endurance, his dauntless determination, his unequalled dominance of cycling’s premier event. Millions around the world properly celebrate him and his lofty accomplishments. But what explains the enormous interest in Armstrong’s success–or that of any other sports hero? Why do sports fans set such a strong personal stake in the victories of their heroes? After all, little of any practical significance depends on such victories; a seventh Armstrong win won’t get his fans a raise or help send their children to college. Why do sports have such an enormous, enduring appeal in human life?

A Speech by The Duchess of Cambridge at the Place2Be
Headteacher Conference

18th November 2015
Thank you, Catherine, for that kind introduction. I was delighted
when I was asked to help open today’s conference.

I want to start by saying a big thank you to all of the headteachers
here today. I know how much is asked of you.

The fact that you are all committing your valuable time to support
Place2Be, and prioritise the mental health of your students is
something that all parents should be grateful for.

I often get asked why I decided to spend time highlighting the
mental health of children. I imagine my answer might be similar to
many of yours.

I know that I was lucky. My parents and teachers provided me with
a wonderful and secure childhood where I always knew I was loved,
valued and listened to.
But of course many children aren’t so lucky. Since beginning my
work in areas like addiction, for example, I have seen time and time
again that the roots of poor mental health in adulthood are almost
always present in unresolved childhood challenges.

I am sure you will agree that all children deserve time, attention and
love from the adults in their lives. These basic qualities are so much
more valuable than the always changing material and social
concerns that can seem so important to young people.

As today’s theme reminds us, many children – even those from
stable, happy homes – are finding that their heads are just too
full. It is our duty, as parents and as teachers, to give all children the
space to build their emotional strength and provide a strong
foundation for their future.

Of course, not all children have the anchor of a strong family. Many
will arrive through your school gates feeling a real lack of love and
devotion in their lives. This often leaves them feeling insecure and
without confidence and trust in the world around them. That is why
your work is so important.
Parents, teachers and other school staff need the tools to help
these young people early in their lives. And the earlier, the better. It
is proven that early action prevents problems later in life.

Imagine if everyone was able to help just one child who needs to be
listened to, needs to be respected, and needs to be loved – we
can make such a huge difference for an entire generation.

As headteachers, you have the chance to reach tens of thousands of
children during your careers, and make an impact on such a great
scale. Thank you for making the work of Place2Be part of your
mission. I hope you know how much your work is valued.

Thank you, and I look forward to the rest of the afternoon.
