21、t types of wolf: Gray wolf Red wolf Jackal(胡狼） Bush wolf(草原狼） coyote (森林狼） White wolf(北极狼）Cry, weep, keen 英文的“cry”也有两个主要含义：一是“叫”，另一是“哭”。因此，“cry”常指“号哭”、“哭喊”等有声带泪的哭泣。同时，“cry”的范围相当广泛，可以用在各种场合及层次，如从“身心的痛苦而哭”到“喜极而泣”。有时也指“以泪洗面”而不出声的“泣”。 weep” 是因(1)悲痛或悲哀而(2)流泪。换句话说“weep”是从心底发出来“声泪俱下”的恸哭。“weep”与“cry”虽字义相近，但

22、仍有不同之处。“weep”是常用于写作，并指流泪多于哭声，也就是重“泪”而不重“声”；“cry”则是相反，是重“声”而不重“泪”。 weep”与“cry”的另一个不同之点：“weep”是因伤心或悲痛而恸哭；因而不懂人世间悲欢离合为何物的婴孩是只会“cry”而不会“weep”的：A baby cries and never weeps. 从前中国各地举行葬礼时，常常雇用“号男”及“号女”以壮声势及增加悲戚气氛。这些雇来的号男号女称为weepers。欧洲也有同样的习俗。在爱尔兰也有对死者表示哀悼而发出像歌唱也像哭喊的悲伤声音，称之为“keen”，就像中国的号男号女的哭法一般。 Wail, sob,

23、 blubber to wail“是指由于悲伤或哀痛而尖声地哭哭啼啼，或哭个不停： The woman wailed with sorrow. to sob一般翻译为“啜泣，呜咽”等等。sob是指受委屈，虐待或悲伤而无处诉苦时，抽噎地唏嘘或哽咽而哭泣；sob也可以说是最容易引起别人的同情，也令人鼻酸的哭法： The boy sobbed because he lost all of his money. to blubber是相当于中文的“嚎啕大哭”或“放声大哭”甚至有时指无理取闹地大叫大哭，或谐谑地指哭得天翻地覆： Stop blubbering! I cant hear what your

26、olfThe wolf today is an endangered species. This creature, which once roamed freely over most of the North American continent is now only found in isolated patches. The major reason for this endangerment is that wolves do not mix with humans. Like many other forms of wildlife, the wolves habitat has

27、 dwindled because of human development. When wolves cannot find their prey in the wild, they have been known to kill domesticated animals, from cattle to a familys pet. As a result, the wolf has been one of the wild enemies of mankind, to be demonized in childrens fairytales. Public sentiment is now

28、 swaying in favor of the wolves. Yet there are still many issues to consider about trying to build the wolf population back up and off the endangered list. The same public who are now wolf advocates may feel differently when a wolf makes lunch out of a treasured pet. Wolves need unsettled land to ro

29、am, breed, kill and survive. More and more humans want to live amongst the wildlife. These well-intentioned people are also posing a threat to the wolves future. A balance must be achieved so wolves can flourish with minimal harm, financial or otherwise, to the humans that share their habitat. The k

30、ey to human understanding of wolves must come through education. This education must be unbiased, so that people know that although wolves are intelligent and beautiful creatures, they are wild animals, not cute and cuddly like their domestic cousin, the dog.

33、oliday itself, the Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians. Easter Eggs The Easter Egg From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs

34、 were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers.
