Don’t Tell Me, I Don’t Want to Know​

Some people force their information on you. “People will post things on my Facebook walls — political statements that are just strange — religious rants that don’t reflect my values,” said Adam Werbach, chief sustainability officer at Saatchi & Saatchi. “I feel like I’ve got to scrub it off like a graffiti squeegee man. ” 1​

Squeegee
v. wipe water from a surface using a squeegee
n. rubber edged implement used for removing water from windows or other surfaces

​

----------------------
Squeegee آب جمع کن پلاستیکی (تی مانندی) هست که آب سطوح رو توسطش جمع می کنند. به عنوان فعل هم می تونه به کار بره.

Deeper into Terrorism

The official U.S. government definition of terrorism for reporting and statistic-keeping purposes is “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents.” 1

One of the oft-repeated rationales for the conventional wisdom that an Iranian nuclear weapon would be unacceptable is that it would somehow turn Iran into a regional marauder that would recklessly throw its weight around the Middle East in damaging ways. 2

Washington needs to proclaim loudly and repeatedly that the sort of terrorism that the NBC report describes is the antithesis of how differences with Iran ought to be settled, and that those differences need to be settled through diplomacy. 3

1. Clandestine: adj. secret, covert, hidden
2. Marauder: n. seeker of prey, plunderer, thief
3. Antithesis: n. opposite, contrast

​

--------------------

1. Clandestine: (صفت) پنهانی، زیرزمینی، نامشروع
2. Marauder: (اسم) غارتگر، چپاولگر
3. Antithesis: (اسم) ضد، نقیض، مغایر

متشکرم از این تاپیک.فقط یک سوال:حتما باید متن از اینترنت باشد و لینکش را قرار دهیم؟چون من شخصا بیشتر از طریق فیلم و سی دی های آموزشی و کتاب یاد می گیرم.
به نظرم هدف یادگیری است و ضرورتی برای قرار دادن لینک نیست.البته شاید هدف شما این باشد که امکان دسترسی به متن مورد نظر برای همگان وجود داشته باشد تا کسی اشتباها کلمه ای را در متنی به کار نبرد.
همچینن اگر تلفظ لغات هم قرار گیرد می شود استفاده بهتری از تاپیک کرد.
حالا شما خودتان در این مورد توضیح دهید.

I used to be quite a pack rat. I seldom threw anything away. I loved to take home everything I could get for free, such as promotional items from work, or odds-and-endsdonated from friends

pack rat:کسی که همه چیز را جمع می کند و هیچ چیزی حتی چیزهای بی ارزش و بدرد نخور را دور نمی ریزد

odds and ends:
1.a remaining group or portion
2.small useful items

خرت و پرت،چیزهای مختلف و بدردبخور

خواهش می کنم. مواردی که لینک نمی تونید بدید ولی براتون جالب بوده رو توی تاپیک زیر بگذارید بهتره، چون اونوقت عملا دلیلی برای بودن این تاپیک نیست:

http://forum.persiantools.com/t85796.html

دقیقا این جا هدف اینه که متنی باشه که همه ما بهش دسترسی داشته باشیم. در مورد تلفظ هم من خودم با علائم آمریکایی کار می کنم، بقیه اکثرا با انگلیسی. نبودن فونتیک باعث بشه یکم به دیکشنری های سخنگو هم مراجعه کنید شاید بهتر باشه. در هر حال ممنون می شم که متنی که می گذارید دقیقا طبق قوانین تاپیک باشه. مرسی از توجه و نظر شما. :happy:

Bertrand Russell’s ABC of Relativity: The Classic Introduction to Einstein

He believed that many of the social ills of the period, including the rise of nationalism, were consequences of a widespread and entrenched irrationality, born of ignorance and a lack of education. 1

It was certainly a heroic period in Russell’s life, when he earnestly believed that the sort of blind unthinking prejudice–which he conceived to be fundamentally responsible for the horrors of the First World War–could be transcended by the dissemination of knowledge and the exercise in critical reasoning power by all classes of society. His huge output in this period was designed to bring within, as far as possible, everyone’s grasp the freedom of thought and action which knowledge and learning brings. That spirit of enlightenment certainly pervades the ABC of Relativity. 2, 3

1. Entrenched: adj. established, fortified
2. Dissemination: n. dispersion, spreading, distribution, diffusion
3. Pervade: v. penetrate, infiltrate, extend, spread out

Insight: Conflict looms in South China Sea oil rush​

A decades-old territorial squabble over the South China Sea is entering a new and more contentious chapter, as claimant nations search deeper into disputed waters for energy supplies while building up their navies and military alliances with other nations, particularly with the United States. 1, 2​

President Barack Obama has sought to reassure regional allies that Washington would serve as a counterbalance to a newly assertive China, part of his campaign to "pivot" U.S. foreign policy more intensely on Asia after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. 3​

Manila is beefing up its tiny and outdated naval fleet and military bases, adding at least two Hamilton-class cutters this year and earmarking millions of dollars to expand its Ulugan Bay naval base in Palawan. 4​

It's no match for China's fleet, the largest in Asia, which boasts 62 submarines, 13 destroyers and 65 frigates, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. 5​

After ExxonMobil discovered hydrocarbons off the coast of Danang in central Vietnam, an area also claimed by China, one of China's most popular newspapers warned in October that nations involved in territorial disputes should "mentally prepare for the sounds of cannons" if they remain at loggerheads with Beijing. 6​

A flotilla of ships could soon follow Forum Energy in disputed waters, with Manila later this year awarding two offshore oil and gas exploration contracts in territory also claimed by China. 7​

1. Squabble: n. minor fight, petty dispute, trivial argument
2. Contentious: adj. belligerent, argumentative, controversial
3. Pivot: n. axis, central pin around which something turns; focus, center
4. Earmark: v. set aside, designate for a special purpose (i.e. money); mark with an earmark
5. Frigate: n. type of ship, small warship
6. At loggerheads: involved in an argument, at odds, engaged in a disagreement
7. Flotilla: n. small fleet of ships, fleet

The Rediscovery of Character

Policy makers of right and left thought about how to rearrange economic incentives. 1

He did not believe that virtue was inculcated by prayer in schools. It was habituated by practicing good manners, by being dependable, punctual and responsible day by day. 2

The phrase “we don’t know” rings throughout his writing. He was quick to admit ignorance in the face of knotty social problems. 3

But America responded to the stresses of the information economy by reducing the communal buttresses to self-control, with unfortunate results. 4

2. Inculcate: v. instill, implant in the mind through frequent repetition; influence, impress upon, cause to accept an idea

تاپیک عالی ای هستش ولی لطفا معنای فارسیش رو هم بذارید ممنون

مرسی. اول می خواستم بگذارم، اما بعد گفتم کار خوبی نیست. متکی بودن به فارسی باعث می شه خوب یاد نگیریم. در یادگیری لغات استفاده از یه دیکشنری انگلیسی به انگلیسی اولش خیلی سخته، اما بعد از یه مدت تاثیر استفاده اش رو می تونید در بهتر شدن زبان احساس کنید. به هر حال اگر کسی می خواد می تونه برای پستی که می زنه بگذاره.

A Separation, BY ROGER EBERT

At an impasse, Simin moves to her mother's apartment, and as a necessity sues for divorce, although the two want to remain married. 1

"A Separation" provides a useful portrait of Iran today. Some inflamed American political rhetoric has portrayed it as a rogue nation eager to start nuclear war. All too many Americans, I fear, picture Iranians as camel-riding harem-keepers. Certainly some of Iran's punishments for adultery that we read about seem medieval. But this film portrays a more nuanced nation, and its decent characters are trying to do the right thing. 2, 3

1. Impasse: n. deadlock, standstill, place from which there is no escape; dead-end street, cul-de-sac
2. Rhetoric : n. study of the effective use of language; art of speaking and writing effectively; oratory, study of language as a means of persuasion; use of bombastic language, use of unnecessarily florid language
3. Nuanced : adj. having subtle distinctions; slightly varied

AP’s approval of ‘hopefully’ symbolizes larger debate over language

The barbarians have done it, finally infiltrated a remaining bastion of order in a linguistic wasteland. They had already taken the Oxford English Dictionary; they had stormed the gates of Webster’s New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition. They had pummeled American Heritage into submission, though she fought valiantly — she continues to fight! — by including a cautionary italics phrase, “usage problem,” next to the heretical definition. #1, #2

They are fought between prescriptivists, who believe that rules of language should be preserved at any cost, and descriptivists, who believe that word use should reflect how people actually talk. #3, #4

There are terms that become shibboleths — markers of education and social class #5

After all, “English was created by barbarians, by a rabble of angry peasants,” McIntyre says. “Because if it wasn’t, we would still be speaking Anglo-Saxon.” Or worse, French. #6

1. Bastion: n. fortress, stronghold, castle
2. Valiantly: adv. bravely, courageously, heroically
3. Prescriptivist: n. One who supports or promotes prescriptive grammar. perscriptive: adj. based on habit, based on long-standing custom; serving to establish rules, setting laws
4. Descriptivist: n. One who advocates descriptive linguistics, or study of a language or languages at a specific stage of development, with emphasis on constructing a complete grammar rather than on historical development or comparison with other languages
5. Shibboleth: n. word or pronunciation used only by members of a specific group or class; word or phrase characteristic of a particular group or ideology
6. Rabble: n. populace, common people, members of the lower class

Panicking Flu Swears It Didn’t Mean To Kill Old Lady

“I swear to you, my only intention was to lay her out for a few days. I didn’t think she was just suddenly going to f---ing die like that—oh God, oh God,” reported the hysterical flu subtype as emergency medical technicians loaded its septuagenarian victim into a body bag.
