Yes, we can!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

[Updated]词典软件汇总

Posted on:  March 22, 2009  |   Category: Computer, Language Learning  |   2 Comments

        现在无论是学习外语还是普通的计算机应用,手边每时每刻都需要一个字典软件。从我开始使用电子辞典至今用过不下十几个版本的字典了,它们当中有几款很经典,因此在这篇文章中做一个汇总。

1. 灵格斯词霸(www.lingoes.cn)

        灵格斯词霸在普通用户群体中应该是和金山词霸有着同等地位的,但它的扩展性更好,几乎主流的字典都可以在它的官网上找到对应的灵格斯版本。以下是我认为比较好的几款字典:

英文词典:
牛津高阶英汉双解词典
朗文当代英语词典
麦克米兰英语词典 – American

Successfully installed the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 7th edition

 

由于学习英语的需要,近日来在电驴上搜索了一些词典来一一安装试用,可是这个牛津高阶词典在安装后却无论如何也无法运行。不过,经过不懈的查找和实验,最终我还是找到了可以成功安装使用的方法。我仅以在我笔记本上安装的过程为例来说明,系统是vista ultimate

 

Take my installation process as an example, my installation environment is vista ultimate, on my laptop Dell D830.

 

1 到此页下载安装文件,http://www.verycd.com/topics/41074/ ,可以下载压缩包版或MDF/MDS镜像,其实二者除了大小之外完全相同,压缩包版解压后即是上述的两个镜像,随自己喜好下载一个就行了,不用两个都下。

 

Download the setup files from here: http://www.verycd.com/topics/41074/ , the RAR version is completely the same as the image files, choosing either of them is ok.

 

2 确定你的电脑中有DaemonTools或者alcohol120%虚拟光驱中的其中一个,若没有到这里去下载:

DAEMON Toolshttp://www.xdowns.com/soft/4/36/2006/Soft_32037.html

Alcohol120%http://www.xdowns.com/soft/4/124/2006/Soft_32190.html

安装虚拟光驱后用它读取镜像文件,但注意开始安装前要开启虚拟光驱的RMPSSafeDisc选项。但我也没试验到底二者开与不开究竟是否影响安装以及后来的使用,我的那几个模拟选项是常开的,反正安到最后就好用了,如果确实有在这个模拟选项上遇到问题的朋友,不妨自己挨个试试。

 

Download and install either DAEMON Tools or Alcohol120% in order to read the image files, and while using them, remember to turn on the RMPS, SafeDisc options. …CONTINUE READING…

Obama's victory speech

我很喜欢奥巴马的这篇演讲,甚至在我自己背诵并练习这篇演说的时候,都一再的被其话语感动和鼓舞。

 

 

Obama Victory Speech

 

Hello Chicago

 

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

 

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

 

It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states, we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

 

It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

 

It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America. …CONTINUE READING…
