时光走得那样快，转眼北国乃是樱花盛开的季节。从食堂出来的街道两侧种了好多樱树，满树累累的淡淡粉色开得正艳，远远望去仿佛祥云一片。在有阳光的午后，风一吹，就现出叠叠的疏影，继而花瓣落下，纷纷扬扬布满街道，这情形好似天空中飘起了粉色的雪花一般还伴着清淡的花香。只觉得这花的生命是丰富而繁茂的，过了几日既凋谢，然而这短暂的美丽却叫人一直记忆犹新。欢迎来到今天的L-Zone，语言特区。

Vince Gill于1957年4月12日出生于美国俄克拉荷马州的诺曼（Norman），原名Vince Grant Gill。Gill从10岁开始学习吉他，中学时代加入当地一支叫“山雾”（Mountain Smoke）的乡村摇滚乐队，后来加入乐队Pure Prairie League担任主唱。1983年推出首张个人专辑《Turn Me Loose》，专辑中的单曲“Victim of Life's Circumstances”在 1984年获得乡村排行的第四十名，并且夺得了“乡村音乐学院”（ACM）的年度最佳新进男歌手大奖。
1992年夏天Vince Gill推出专辑《I Still Believe in You》，这张专辑在1993年为他夺下了该年度格莱美奖“最佳乡村男歌手”的称号，而专辑的同名主打歌曲也拿到了“年度最佳乡村歌曲”奖项。该专辑的销售突破了两百万张，这一出色业绩充分证明Vince Gill不但受到专业人士的认可，同时也被广大听众所喜爱。Vince Gill至今总共获得了十五座葛莱美奖，不但远远超过任何一个乡村艺人，更创下了连续十年都得奖的空前纪录。除了在音乐方面的成就，Vince Gill还热心公益，积极参加各种慈善活动。
在这首歌曲中，与Vince Gill合唱的Sheryl Crow是上个世纪90年代以来最受欢迎的摇滚乐女歌手之一，相信她演唱的007之明日帝国的主题曲tomorrow never dies大家一定耳熟能详，她的音乐风格独树一帜，曾四度问鼎格莱美最佳摇滚女歌手奖。
Vince Gill的演唱娓娓道来,触动人的内心，值得用心去揣摩,去细细聆听。
What You Give Away by Vince Gill & Sheryl Crow
You read the business page
See how you did today
Life's just passed you by
You live up on the hill
You've got a view that kills
Never wonder why
After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say
No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
What you give away
There's people on the street
Ain't got enough to eat
You just shake your head
The measure of a man is one who lends a hand
That's what my father said
After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say
一首让人感到平静的歌，听了以后就像做了深呼吸一般地舒服。喜欢这首歌的歌词，简简单单，洗尽内心的浮躁与喧嚣。不管最后有没有审判日，不管上帝是否存在，但是只有真诚地付出了，懂得给予的美好，我们才能安享我们心灵的天堂。
好了，下面让我们一同静静地听这首歌~

Jiang, 44, is in the running for the paper's pageant of the world's most beautiful woman in politics and government.she was ranked 45th among 64 candidates from more than 30 countries, with 5,048 votes.
Pe‘ruvian politician Luciana Leon, 30, was in first place, while compatriot Mercedes Araoz, 47, followed in second.
Palin, 44, the governor of Alaska and former US vice-presidential candidate, was ranked 27th while US Secretary of State Clinton was in 43th place as well as the poll's most senior pick at 61.
As expected with her line of work, some of the votes from Jiang inevitably came from the reporters she meets frequently in press conferences.
Konstantin Shepin is one such admirer.

"But sometimes she also shows up in modern style at unofficial occasions," he said.

今天william和Ava 将给大家介绍两个常用短语，一个是：shot，另一个是：damage。
W: Hey, ava, are you ready to go?
A: 行，我准备好了，可以走了。
W: Ok, let's go!
A: 哟，怎么啦？
W: I think my engine is shot. This is not good.
A: 什么？ 有人开枪把你车打坏啦？
W: No! You're right, shot does mean to have used a gun, but here shot means something is broken.
A: 对啊，shot是指开枪，原来这儿的意思不同，这儿是指什么东西坏了。那我的电脑坏了也能用shot这个字啊？
W: Sure. My computer is shot. You can say almost anything is shot.
A: 什么东西坏了都能这样说？
W: Yes, if you hurt your knee, you can say: My knee is shot, or if you hurt your shoulder, you can say: My shoulder is shot.
A: 噢， 要是你的膝盖受伤了，你就可以说：My knee is shot; 要是你的肩膀受了伤，那你就说：My shoulder is shot.
W: Let's go rent a car. I don't want our whole day to be shot.
A: 对，还是去租一辆车吧。 噢，毁了一整天也能这样说呀！
W: Yep. Let's go!
A: William, 这辆车真不错，挺稳的。再开半小时就到了，太好了！
W: Yeah, I'm glad too, but the damage for renting the car is pretty bad.
A: 什么？这辆租的车也坏了？哟，那怎么办呐！
W: No, the rental car is not damaged! The word damage does mean that, but damage here means the amount of money needed to pay for something.
A: 租的车没有坏，真把我吓一跳。原来又是我的英文有问题。 Damage 这个字很普通，大家都知道是指什么东西坏了。可你指的是为什么东西付的钱。
W: Yes, renting the car is expensive, so the damage is bad. We usually say the damage is bad or not bad.
A: 我知道了，价钱贵就是：the damage is bad。 价钱不高，那就是： the damage is not bad. 再给我举个例子吧。
W: When you pay for dinner at a restaurant, you can ask: What's the damage?
A: 噢，在饭店里吃完晚饭要付钱的时候可以问：“What's the damage?" 所以租车很贵，the damage is bad. william, 别担心，我可以帮你付一点。
W: You don't have to, Ava. I know the damage for your new computer was pretty bad.
A: 你真好心，知道我买新电脑花了不少钱，所以不要我帮你付。 william, 没关系，我能付一点，你还要去修车，也很贵的。
W: Thanks,Ava. But I hope the damage for fixing my car won't be too bad.
A: 我也希望你修车不至于太贵。得了，别说钱了，赶快开吧。
W: OK, I'll drive fast so that the rest of our day won't be shot.
A: 对了，别浪费时间了，我也不想把一天的时间全浪费了。

节目最后leo为大家介绍一部电影《蝙蝠侠前传2：黑暗骑士》。
在警长戈登和地区检察官哈维·丹特的协助下，蝙蝠侠惩恶锄奸的行动越来越顺风顺水，他甚至决定要将穷街陋巷中残余的党匪一网打尽。三人联手打击犯罪成效不菲，高谭市渐渐回复了昔日的平静。甚至有人开始假伴成蝙蝠侠来惩治罪犯。
然而小丑的出现，给高谭蒙上了阴影。他炸死女法官，毒死局长，又在全城哀悼，市长讲话之时射击市长，幸亏戈登警官相救，市长才幸免于难。小丑抓住了那些假扮成蝙蝠侠的人，并加以迫害，向全城宣布，除非蝙蝠侠摘下面具像警察自首，否则每天都有人死。
哈维·丹特为了歌潭，宣称自己是蝙蝠侠。小丑开始刺杀，但真正的蝙蝠侠出现，并与戈登警官一起将小丑捉住。丹特在小丑被捉后坐车回家，怎料开车的竟是黑帮的卧底。于是丹特和雷切尔均被关押。
蝙蝠侠对小丑严刑拷打，怎料小丑却越是开心。他要蝙蝠侠在两人之间选择。最后，蝙蝠侠救出丹特，但其半边脸已被火烧毁，雷切尔被炸死，而警局被小丑的人体炸弹袭击。躺在医院里的，伤心欲绝的丹特在小丑的诱导下成了双面人.
不得不提的是“小丑”的扮演者，希斯·莱杰。可惜的是他意外逝世，为《蝙蝠侠前传2：黑暗骑士》凭空笼罩了一层悲伤的面纱，而这部影片也成了他生前最后一部完整的作品。克里斯托弗·诺兰谈及“小丑”这个角色时，首先声明道，无论是在莱杰生前还是死后，他饰演的“小丑”永远是这部影片最大的亮点，也是人们争相讨论的焦点，诺兰表示：“莱杰带给这个角色的是前所未有的体验，黑暗的性格来源于悲伤的过去，诡异中带着幽默。在莱杰的诠释下，‘小丑’不仅仅是一个银行抢劫犯或普通的犯罪分子，他的主要动机其实还在于根深蒂固的无政府主义。我和莱杰曾就这个角色聊过很多，还一起为剧本做过最后的加工，并达成了非常有默契的共识：正是由于现在的社会处于一种混乱的无政府状态，所以才出现了像‘小丑’这种单纯地只想伤害别人的邪恶代表。”
下面让我们一起欣赏一下电影中的精彩片段。
