  • 工作学习 / English / Jabber's English Note---008 -jabber(jabber); 2001-7-5 {756} (#121227@0)
    If we are devoted to English learning, we should have ample opportunites.

    Just take this forum as an example. One day, I sat down and thought about the nicknames used here. I did find some good examples.

    1) jabber---- Of course, it is good. :-) ;-). It is a pure-breeded English word.

    2) pandora---- You don't know Pandora's box?

    3)gladiator ----You can remember this word by name of a movie.

    4) paramid ---- Really a miracle.

    5) toad --- a lovely animal. I always remember this word, because one of my friends was nicknamed after it. By the way, many Oracle developers use a software named "TOAD".

    It will take us years to build up our vocabulary. Without a big vocabulary, all the gramatical rules are just rules.
    • Good, Jabber. Really like to read your English notes. -ying2(ying2); 2001-7-5 (#121236@0)
    • Pandora's Box: She opened the box, let everything come out: death, war, disasters... and only left one thing in the box -- hope. -guest:; 2001-7-5 (#121347@0)
      • Pandora cried and cried, can't stop. Danny opened the box again, "HOPE, HOPE, we have hope now." Danny said. Then they live together happily forever. -bingle(bingle); 2001-7-5 (#121532@0)
    • 你的贴子我是每次必看。Toad不是讨厌的家伙吗？到底在纯美国英语中是什么意思？ -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-7-5 (#121486@0)
      • Thank you. Actually, toads are thought of as being disgusting. By the way, are you a toad-eater? :-) :-) -jabber(jabber); 2001-7-5 (#121513@0)
        • Sometimes if others need, yes. *<|:-) -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-7-6 (#121963@0)
    • I like to read your post too. No matter technical guide or English notes. I think it is a very good idea to open such topic in rolia.Maybe we member of rolia should find some way to make it active and vivid. -chef(兰州拉面); 2001-7-5 (#121575@0)
    • Keep posting, but a little bit slowly please. I can not keep pace with your English Note. I am suffering from my English everyday. -old(HH); 2001-7-15 (#132990@0)
      • What do you mean? I wish he posted more often, but it seems that he doesn't :-( -guest:; 2001-7-15 (#133234@0)
        • 我的英语太差，感觉进度太快，有点跟不上，因此请求放慢点。惭愧！ -old(HH); 2001-7-15 (#133314@0)
