妙语佳句，活学活用
1. My heinie is dipping.
这句话的意思是“我想大便”。Heinie 在俚语中指“屁股”。
2. You suck!
意思就是“（你们）太烂了！”
说Somebody/Something sucks! 就是说“某人女人穿衣服/某事真差劲，糟透了！”有很多情况下可以用到这个词：
a. 昨天晚上你看了一场电影，如果朋友问你：白醋泡脚"How was the movie? (电影怎么样？)"，你觉得那部片子真是拍得不怎么地，你就可以说："It sucked!"，而且可以特别使劲地，强调一下"sucked"，强烈表示你的不满。
b. 你有朋友今晚要向他心爱的女生表白，如果明天你问起他事情进行得如何，他告诉你他最终还是临阵打了退堂鼓，你可以笑他真是没出息，然后赶紧加一句："You totally sucked!"(你可真没用。)
c. 你们去赶公共汽车，但是刚好错过没赶上，下一班车还要很久才会来，这时候：
A: Guess what? We've just now misd the bus, and the next one won't come for another 45 minutes. 知道吗，我们刚好错过公车了，下一班还要过四十五分钟才会来。
B: That sucks. 真逊！大学政治课
反正，如果你不喜欢某人或是某事，或是表示很失望，说他/她/它 "suck"就对了！但是要注意时态的用法啊！
3. Preachy
这个词的意思是“爱说教的，爱唠叨的”，如果有人在你耳边喋喋不休，或是总是教你什么该做什么不该做，就可以说他/她是 preachy。
4. Touch on
这个片语的意思是“提起，谈到”，例如：In his lecture he touched on the major aspects of the controversy. 他在讲座中提到争议的主要方面。
5. I beg to differ/disagree
这是一个正式用语，是一种礼貌地表示不同意别人意见的说法，可以翻译为“恕不同意”，比如：柠檬图片大全I beg to differ with Mr Lee's final asrtion. 恕我不能同意李先生的最后断言。污染用英语怎么说

The Simpsons Movie & Green Day
The Simpsons Movie
is a 2007 animated comedy film bad on the animated television ries The Simpsons and directed by David Silverman.
The Simpson family first appeared in 1988 in small animated vignettes on The Tracey Ullman Show. Creator Matt Groening and producer James L. Brooks turned the idea into a full half-hour show, which premiered on the Fox network in December of 1989. The Simpsons was a hit from the start and has remained one of the most popular television shows in history (as well as the longest-running prime-time cartoon). The show's weekly cornucopia of guest stars has included the likes of Ringo Starr, Christina Ricci and Stephen Hawking, among many others. Simpson family members include father Homer, a beer-loving safety inspector from the local nuclear power plant; Marge, the nsible mom with a blue beehive hairstyle; Bart, the mischievous fourth-grader who pride in being an "underachiever" was, at first, controversial; Lisa, the cond-grader who achi

在影片开始的部分，在Springfield 表演的乐队是在现实中存在的，叫做 Green Day。Green Day is an American rock band formed in 1988. The band consists of three core members: Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar, lead vocals), Mike Dirnt (bass) and Tré Cool (drums).
Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releas for independent label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanba, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie became a breakout success in 1994 and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone. As a result, Green Day was widely credited, along with fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States. Green Day's three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massi
ve success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum and gold status respectively. Its 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation, lling 5 million copies in the U.S.
The band has sold over 60 million records worldwide, including 22 million in the United States alone. They also have three Grammy Awards, Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams."
They are currently working on their new studio album estimated to be relead in 2008.
