關於cowboy的英語閱讀理解

㈠ 求有關cowboy文化的美國習語

英語文化內涵頗為濃厚，cowboy和hippie(或hippy)在漢語中沒有意義對應的詞，因為這兩個詞是美國社會特有的產物。cowboy與美國早期開發西部地區有關，關於他們的傳說總帶有濃厚的浪漫主義和傳奇色彩。在漢語中有很多這樣的詞，如"牧童"、"羊倌"和"牧馬人"，但這些都是田園牧歌中的人物形象。雖然我們從港粵借來"牛仔"一詞與之呼應，並且這已成為主流和經典的譯法，但是英語"cowboy"中所傳承的美國西進運動中那批拓荒者的英雄氣概與傳奇風采始終沒有傳達出來，倒徒增了幾分只對於凡夫俗子的調侃之意；比如"打工仔"就是一個明證。另外，在漢語中，人們把hippie音譯成"希比士"或"希比派"，其實也沒反映出60年代那些中國人覺得行為古怪的美國青年的風貌。有的也譯成"嬉皮士"，不過容易造成誤解，因為那批青年並不都是"嬉皮笑臉"的人，其中有不少人對待社會問題很嚴肅，對社會懷有某種不滿情緒，盡管他們的生活方式與眾不同：往往蓄長發，身穿奇裝異服，甚至行為頹廢，染上吸毒惡習，等等。

那麼，同樣在中國文化中我們耳熟能詳的"陰"、"陽"、"太極"、"氣功"、"八卦"，在操英語的人士眼裡無異於"天書"(a sealed book)，怎一個漢語拼音"yin"，"yang"，"taiji"，"qigong"或"bagua"了得？

㈡ 英語翻譯a cowboy 's job is clear from the word cowboy

理解這句話搞清楚is clear from 是什麼意思就行了,例句你看下：It is clear from these data that coal is the main culprit.從這些數據可以清回楚地看出,煤是主要的禍根答.
譯：牛仔工作是怎樣從字面上就能了解

㈢ 高中英語題I'd like you to meet David,a ____ cowboy. 這個空里tall,dark,beautiful三個的排序問題求解

英語形容詞順序口訣如下：

限定描繪大長高，

形狀年齡和新老；

顏色國籍跟材料，

作用類別往後靠；

所以 這里應該是tall dark beautiful

㈣ cowboy用英語解釋其意思

兩個意思：
牛仔：A man, typically one on horseback, who herds and tends cattle, esp. in the western US and as represented in westerns and novels.

莽撞版的人：權A person who is reckless or careless, esp. when driving an automobile.

㈤ 英語短文a cowboy rode into a town

㈦ 英語閱讀throughout history,rainbows have been答案

閱讀理解。

Throughout history there have always been people who can make other people
laugh. Early clowns often both annoyed and delighted listeners with their comments
and songs. They Were not the silent performers seen in today's circus rings. Clowns
lost their voices when the big three-ring circuses made it impossible for the audience
to hear them.
Circus clowns give performances in various ways. Walk-around clowns use an animal or something, like
a huge rubber hammer, as part of their performance. A carpet clown moves around, talking with the audience
and performing while the acts change in the rings. Then there are acrobatic clowns, tiding clowns, juggling
downs and others.
Everything a clown does looks easy, but it is not. Making people laugh can be hard work. Clowns must be
in good physical condition to prevent injuries. Each funny move is carefully timed and well-rehearsed (排練).
Most clowns have also been trained as acrobats, jugglers or aerial artists, and many include such skills into their
acts.
Generally, there are three types of circus clowns-whiteface, auguste and character. Each has a special
makeup and clothes. Each has a typical act as well.
The neat whiteface is usually a strict, in-charge character who sets up the punch line (the point of a joke)
with a partner who is typically an auguste. His facial makeup is neatly detailed in red or black, and his clothes
look so loose with a ruffle around the neck.
Old circus stories have it that the auguste clown got his name from a German nickname for someone who
is clumsy, acting in a careless and stupid way. The auguste wears light-coloured makeup, but white is used
around the mouth and eyes, and there's a big red nose. This clown performs a great deal of humour. An
oversized suit or baggy trousers allow freedom of movement for all the clumsy acts. He also wears big shoes.
Character clowns perform as different characters-cowboys, grandmothers or concert conctors. The
most famous character clown, however, is the tramp (流浪漢). Tramps wear different styles of makeup and
torn clothes. Some tramp clowns are happy-go-lucky. Others are extremely sad. Still others act like gentlemen
who just happen to be out of money.

1. By saying that clowns "lost their voices", the author means they _____.
A. became silent to avoid annoying people
B. began to perform silently because of larger audiences
C. realized audience members often spoke another language
D. discovered that three-ring circuses were becoming more popular
2. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By describing details.
B. By listing effects.
C. By making comparison.
D. By giving explanations.
3. If a clown is dressed in baggy clothing, which set of clowns does he belong to?
A. The auguste and the whiteface.
B. The walk-around and the tramp.
C. The carpet clown and the cowboy.
D. The riding clown and the conctor.
4. In what way is the whiteface different from the auguste?
A. He has a larger audience.
B. He wears more attractive clothes.
C. He performs in a special circus ring.
D. He plays a leading role in performances.
5. Why did the author write this article?
A. To give some basic facts about clowns.
B. To express his opinion on circus clowns.
C. To tell readers about the history of clowns.
D. To describe the hard work circus clowns do.

㈧ 急~誰能幫我翻譯段閱讀理解.謝謝.有分

通常城市人都認為自己比鄉下人聰明很多。他們經常嘲笑鄉村的生活。但人們不嘲笑鄉村音回樂。他是當今美國答最流行的音樂之一。
也許它這么流行是因為它簡單卻包含強烈的人類情感和愛，悲傷，好時光和壞時光。他訴說了人們常談論的真實故事。隨著生活變得越來越復雜，聽聽關於老百姓的音樂是不錯的。
鄉村音樂，有時稱作西部鄉村，來自兩種音樂。第一種是來自美國東部阿帕拉契山居民的傳統音樂。另一種是西部牛仔德的傳統音樂。這些歌手通常彈吉他，而在1982年他們開始玩電子吉他。
起初城市人說鄉村音樂低級。其實在南方卻非常受歡迎。但在二戰中，成千上萬的南方人遷移到東北和中西部找工作。他們帶著音樂去。其他地方的士兵就參加南方的軍訓。他們漸漸喜歡了鄉村音樂。慢慢地瘋魔了整個世界。
現在的美國和加拿大，鄉村音樂無處不在。無論小城市或紐約市，黑人或白人，受過教育的或沒受過教育的人。每天大約有1200家電台播放鄉村音樂。人們用自己的語言去唱。源自西部牛仔和窮苦農民的音樂現在流行於全球。

㈨ 一篇英語閱讀題 求答案以及翻譯。

Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!

In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince』s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.

Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called 「found photographs」—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丟棄的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger』s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes 「basically everything is worth looking at」, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.

Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍衛) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for some else: 「Why』s your car HERE at HER place?」 The note became the starting point for Rothbard』s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.

The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs proced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It』s anyone』s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we』ve gone?

那被你在你的沙發下後面找到的照片現在是大筆生意!

在2005年，美國藝術家Richard Prince的照片，無標題的(牛仔)，以 $ 1, 248, 000被賣了。

Prince的確不是當代唯一的藝術家。他與所謂的「found photographs」—— 一個在不固定的期限里從舊貨店發現的被丟棄的印刷品對舊廣告或從一個陌生的家庭冊頁的非職業照片。 德國藝術家Joachim Schmid，相信「基本上一切值得看」，會集了被丟棄的照片、明信片和報紙圖片自1982年以來。 在他持續的項目， Archiv，他根據題材編組家庭生活的照片： 有狗的人們; 隊; 新車; 家庭的晚餐; 等等。

就像Schmid，這位自已出版幾本藝術雜志編輯，也捍衛這些被找到的照片。 其中的一個，僅僅被叫作「Found」，是出生一多雪的夜在芝加哥，當Davy Rothbard回到他的汽車發現在他的雨刷之有一張的惱怒的字條： 「為什麼在這里，您的汽車在她的地方？」筆記成為了Rothbard』s致癮出版物的，起點特點發現照片讀者送，在我們的抽屜發現的這樣海報。

The整體發現照片現象提出了有些問題。 或許一最困難是： 這些圖象真的能被被認為是藝術嗎？ 如果可以，那是誰的藝術？ 被找到的照片由藝術家，這樣Richard Prince生產了，可以倉促地騎著他的馬遇見某人？ 或者王子怎麼創造了這張照片？ 這是大家的猜測。 另外，當我們想像這些找到的照片的藝術家們（比如Schmid）背後故事的時候，我們也轉動往我們自己的攝影冊頁。 為什麼是記憶很重要對我們？ 我們所有尋求為什麼結冰在計時我們的孩子、我們的父母，我們的戀人和我們自己？ 它們是否將意味是在我們離去後的任何人的任何一切？
