J.K.羅琳化名男性寫偵探小說(shuō) 讀者識(shí)破后銷量飆升
J.K. Rowling has written a crime novel called The Cuckoo's Calling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, according to the Daily Telegraph.
《每日電訊》報(bào)道稱，哈利波特之母J.K.羅琳以“羅伯特-蓋布瑞斯”的男性筆名，寫作了一本犯罪題材小說(shuō)《布谷鳥(niǎo)在呼喚》。
Rowling is reported as saying to the Sunday Times of London, “I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience. It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name.”
據(jù)說(shuō)，羅琳曾對(duì)《星期日泰晤士報(bào)》記者說(shuō)：“我曾想長(zhǎng)時(shí)間保守這個(gè)秘密?；_伯特-蓋布瑞斯出版小說(shuō)，我可以擺脫媒體的大肆宣傳和公眾期待，這是種匿名獲取作品反饋的純粹喜悅，讓我感覺(jué)非常自由自在?！?/p>
The novel was published in April by Sphere in the UK - the same imprint as her first fiction novel after Harry Potter, The Casual Vacancy.
這部小說(shuō)于4月由英國(guó)Sphere出版社出版，正是羅琳《哈利波特》系列小說(shuō)之后的第一部科幻小說(shuō)《偶發(fā)空缺》的出版商。
Set in London, it features a one-legged private detective called Cormoran Strike, who is hired to investigate the death of a supermodel called Lula Landry. The book's description on Amazon says "You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this."
小說(shuō)背景設(shè)在倫敦，講的是一位獨(dú)腿私家偵探Cormoran Strike受雇調(diào)查超級(jí)名模Lula Landry之死的案件。亞馬遜網(wǎng)站上評(píng)論這本書(shū)為“你也許以為你知道名門富豪的生活，但在深度調(diào)查之下你會(huì)見(jiàn)到他們不為人知的這一面?！?/p>
Harry Potter fan site The Leaky Cauldron says the book has so far sold just 1,500 copies, and that a second Galbraith book is to be published next year. Update: Since the news broke, New Statesman reports that the book's Amazon sales have gone up more than 150,000%.
哈利波特粉絲網(wǎng)站“The Leaky Cauldron”稱，這本小說(shuō)目前只售出1500本，蓋布瑞斯署名的第二本小說(shuō)將于明年出版。但自羅琳身份曝光后，《新政治家雜志》報(bào)道這本小說(shuō)在亞馬遜圖書(shū)網(wǎng)的銷量猛增1500倍。
The book received a rave review in Publishers Weekly when it was released, which stated that "in a rare feat... Galbraith combines a complex and compelling sleuth and an equally well-formed and unlikely assistant with a baffling crime in his stellar debut."
小說(shuō)剛剛發(fā)行之后，就受到《出版人周刊》的高度贊揚(yáng)，稱其是：“罕見(jiàn)的杰作……蓋爾布斯的首部小說(shuō)就塑造了背景復(fù)雜、引人注目的偵探和同樣見(jiàn)多識(shí)廣的的專家，并將二者同令人困惑的犯罪行動(dòng)完美結(jié)合在一起?！?/p>
When she first sold the rights to Harry Potter, Rowling was told to use the gender neutral initials J.K. instead of her first name Joanne, because books written by men sold better. This time, she got to adopt an entirely male persona with a Scottish-sounding name, who was given a fictional biography by the publisher:
當(dāng)羅琳第一次出版《哈利波特》時(shí)，就曾被告知要用中性化的“J.K.”代替她的名字“喬安妮”，理由是由男性作家出版的小說(shuō)銷路更好。而這次羅琳完全采用了聽(tīng)著像蘇格蘭人的男性化名，甚至還給了出版商一份虛構(gòu)的作者簡(jiǎn)介：
Born in 1968, Robert Galbraith is married with two sons. After several years with the Royal Military Police, he was attached to the SIB (Special Investigation Branch), the plain-clothes branch of the RMP. He left the military in 2003 and has been working since then in the civilian security industry. The idea for protagonist Cormoran Strike grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends who have returned to the civilian world. 'Robert Galbraith' is a pseudonym.
羅伯特-蓋布瑞斯，出生于1968年，已婚，育有兩子。在皇家憲兵隊(duì)服役后被派往特別調(diào)查組，屬于憲兵隊(duì)便衣組成員。2003年退役后在公共安全局工作至今。書(shū)中主角“Cormoran Strike”的故事來(lái)源于作者自身經(jīng)歷和其回到普通社會(huì)的退伍軍人好友。“羅伯特-蓋布瑞斯”實(shí)為化名。
It was reported in 2007 that Rowling had been working on a detective story, but these reports were later discredited.
2007年就曾有報(bào)道說(shuō)羅琳正在撰寫偵探小說(shuō)，但后來(lái)這些報(bào)道被證明是假消息。
【雅思培訓(xùn)-口語(yǔ)】口語(yǔ)素材：a cafe 用于話題"Describe a cafe"
A cup of freshly ground coffee is what it takes to get some people moving in the morning.
清晨起來(lái)，一杯現(xiàn)磨咖啡可以讓人精力充沛。
But, according to a study, it may be the aroma rather than the coffee itself that does the trick.
但一項(xiàng)最新的研究表明，這種功效可能是咖啡的香氣而不是咖啡本身產(chǎn)生的。
Researchers believe that the aroma of roasted coffee beans can soothe frayed nerves--and that just the whiff could be enough to reverse the effects of a poor night's sleep on the brain.
研究人員相信，烘培咖啡豆的香氣可以安撫緊張的神經(jīng)——而且只是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)香氣就可以緩解整夜失眠對(duì)大腦造成的影響。
Aroma: Just smelling coffee can help cure tiredness better than drinking a cup
香氣：僅僅聞咖啡比喝一杯咖啡更能幫助緩解疲勞
They said that chemicals extracted from coffee and pumped into the air may one day be used as a way of reviving tired people.
他們說(shuō)，早晚有一天可以通過(guò)提取咖啡中的化學(xué)物質(zhì)并釋放到空氣中，來(lái)緩解人們的疲勞。
Scientists in Tsukuba, Japan, kept 16 laboratory rats awake for 24 hours, by keeping them in a cage filled with an inch of water, then exposed half of them to the smell of roasted coffee.
日本筑波的科學(xué)家們把16只小白鼠放到有1英寸深的水的籠子里，這樣保證它們24小時(shí)不睡覺(jué)。然后，將一半的老鼠放在烘培咖啡的香氣中。
After taking samples of the rats' brains, they found that the smell of coffee boosted the activity of key genes that promote cell survival in the body and reduce anxiety.
在對(duì)小白鼠大腦取樣后，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)咖啡的氣味，增強(qiáng)了關(guān)鍵基因的活動(dòng)，這種基因活動(dòng)可以促進(jìn)體內(nèi)細(xì)胞存活，并且減少焦慮。
Professor Yoshinori Masuo, who led the study in Tsukuba, Japan, said that when people drink coffee to stay up all night, just the smell of the coffee could alleviate some of the stress caused by sleeplessness.
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)日本筑波研究團(tuán)隊(duì)的益男教授說(shuō)，當(dāng)人們?yōu)榱税疽苟瓤Х葧r(shí)，僅僅是咖啡的味道就會(huì)減輕由不睡覺(jué)而產(chǎn)生的壓力。
He added: "Is it better for us to smell coffee bean aroma than to drink coffee, or would any other food-related odour produce similar effects? Further studies are needed."
他補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“聞咖啡豆的氣味要比喝咖啡更好。但是否其他食物的氣味會(huì)產(chǎn)生類似的效應(yīng)呢?這還需要進(jìn)一步的研究?！?/p>

花時(shí)間做你想做的事情!這是你的假期，按照你喜歡的方式去做吧。想想那些在你忙碌的時(shí)候渴望去做的事情，可能是長(zhǎng)距離散步、睡覺(jué)、收看日間電視節(jié)目……任何事情都可以!
2. Use your time effectively. Take advantage of having some time on your hands. Use it to organise your closet, catch up on the laundry or get down to some DIY. You'll go back to work feeling like you've really accomplished something and had productive days off.
有效利用時(shí)間。好好利用自己可以掌控的時(shí)間。用它來(lái)規(guī)整一下壁櫥、洗洗堆積的衣物或者開(kāi)始自己動(dòng)手做些東西。當(dāng)回到工作中時(shí)，你就會(huì)感覺(jué)自己真得完成了很多事情，度過(guò)了富有成效的休息日。
3. Catch up with your friends and family. If you've been busy at work, you may not have been able to socialise as much as you would have liked. Use your time to drop somechatty emails, make phone calls to old friends or to catch up with family members. They will appreciate your time.
聯(lián)絡(luò)你的朋友和家人。如果你一直忙于工作，你可能無(wú)法參加足夠的社交活動(dòng)。利用時(shí)間處理一下閑聊的電子郵件，給老朋友打個(gè)電話或者與家人聯(lián)絡(luò)。他們會(huì)很感激你花時(shí)間與他們聯(lián)系。

或者享受獨(dú)處的時(shí)間!獨(dú)處并非是一件壞事。買來(lái)你最喜歡的食物，寵愛(ài)一下自己，享受自己的閑暇時(shí)光。

讓身體增添活力!出門呼吸一下新鮮空氣，慢跑、做瑜伽或是遛狗!氧氣和運(yùn)動(dòng)的結(jié)合會(huì)幫助你擁有優(yōu)質(zhì)的睡眠，你在回去工作的時(shí)候能夠感到自己充滿活力!

Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled 'Singles Day' on the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives. To find out more about this celebration, read on.
每年的11月11日是“光棍節(jié)”。節(jié)如其名，這個(gè)新鮮的節(jié)日是專門為那些還過(guò)著單身生活的人們?cè)O(shè)立的。我在GOOGLE上搜索一下，驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)中國(guó)是世界上唯一一個(gè)專門為光棍們?cè)O(shè)立節(jié)日的國(guó)家。來(lái)一起了解一下這個(gè)節(jié)日吧~
Origin of Singles Day 節(jié)日起源
Betting 打牌
An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong.
故事從四個(gè)過(guò)著單調(diào)生活的單身漢說(shuō)起。他們沒(méi)有人結(jié)婚，連女朋友都沒(méi)有，日子過(guò)得無(wú)精打采，終日打麻將度過(guò)。
One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the 'four columns' card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.
有一天他們打麻將從早上11點(diǎn)打到了晚上11點(diǎn)。奇妙的是，不管誰(shuí)贏，都贏在了“四條”上。更加巧合的是，這一天正是11月11號(hào)。為了紀(jì)念這一天，他們給它命名為“光棍節(jié)”。
University culture 大學(xué)傳統(tǒng)
Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date is comprised of four "ones". These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
光棍節(jié)最先在90年代的江蘇南京各大高校興起。之所以叫“光棍節(jié)”是因?yàn)檫@一天的日子有四個(gè)光棍一樣的“1”。大學(xué)生們畢業(yè)了，把這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)帶到了社會(huì)上，光棍節(jié)就成了時(shí)尚青年們的一個(gè)特殊節(jié)日。
The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it's important that each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold 'blind date' parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.
主流的慶祝方式就是和光棍朋友們一起搓一頓，而且一定要實(shí)行AA制。為了脫離單身，人們也會(huì)舉辦相親會(huì)，介紹單身男女認(rèn)識(shí)。
Creative celebration 新奇慶祝
For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks) representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one baozi (steamed stuffed buns) representing the middle dot.
光棍節(jié)的早上，單身青年們會(huì)吃四根油條，代表11.11的四個(gè)“1”，再吃一個(gè)包子，代表11和11之間的那個(gè)點(diǎn)。
Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend 'blind date' parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning 'single' the four 'ones' of the date can also mean 'only one' as in 'the only one for me.' Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only 'one' in their heart.
很多單身朋友選擇在這一天告別單身，一些人參加相親會(huì)，一些人則在今天結(jié)婚。四個(gè)“1”不僅可以代表單身，還可以代表“唯一”，這也成了一些人的愛(ài)情告白日。
