关于cowboy的英语阅读理解

㈠ 求有关cowboy文化的美国习语

英语文化内涵颇为浓厚，cowboy和hippie(或hippy)在汉语中没有意义对应的词，因为这两个词是美国社会特有的产物。cowboy与美国早期开发西部地区有关，关于他们的传说总带有浓厚的浪漫主义和传奇色彩。在汉语中有很多这样的词，如"牧童"、"羊倌"和"牧马人"，但这些都是田园牧歌中的人物形象。虽然我们从港粤借来"牛仔"一词与之呼应，并且这已成为主流和经典的译法，但是英语"cowboy"中所传承的美国西进运动中那批拓荒者的英雄气概与传奇风采始终没有传达出来，倒徒增了几分只对于凡夫俗子的调侃之意；比如"打工仔"就是一个明证。另外，在汉语中，人们把hippie音译成"希比士"或"希比派"，其实也没反映出60年代那些中国人觉得行为古怪的美国青年的风貌。有的也译成"嬉皮士"，不过容易造成误解，因为那批青年并不都是"嬉皮笑脸"的人，其中有不少人对待社会问题很严肃，对社会怀有某种不满情绪，尽管他们的生活方式与众不同：往往蓄长发，身穿奇装异服，甚至行为颓废，染上吸毒恶习，等等。

那么，同样在中国文化中我们耳熟能详的"阴"、"阳"、"太极"、"气功"、"八卦"，在操英语的人士眼里无异于"天书"(a sealed book)，怎一个汉语拼音"yin"，"yang"，"taiji"，"qigong"或"bagua"了得？

㈡ 英语翻译a cowboy 's job is clear from the word cowboy

理解这句话搞清楚is clear from 是什么意思就行了,例句你看下：It is clear from these data that coal is the main culprit.从这些数据可以清回楚地看出,煤是主要的祸根答.
译：牛仔工作是怎样从字面上就能了解

㈢ 高中英语题I'd like you to meet David,a ____ cowboy. 这个空里tall,dark,beautiful三个的排序问题求解

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

㈦ 英语阅读throughout history,rainbows have been答案

阅读理解。

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 (排练).
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 (流浪汉). 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.

也许它这么流行是因为它简单却包含强烈的人类情感和爱，悲伤，好时光和坏时光。他诉说了人们常谈论的真实故事。随着生活变得越来越复杂，听听关于老百姓的音乐是不错的。
乡村音乐，有时称作西部乡村，来自两种音乐。第一种是来自美国东部阿帕拉契山居民的传统音乐。另一种是西部牛仔德的传统音乐。这些歌手通常弹吉他，而在1982年他们开始玩电子吉他。
起初城市人说乡村音乐低级。其实在南方却非常受欢迎。但在二战中，成千上万的南方人迁移到东北和中西部找工作。他们带着音乐去。其他地方的士兵就参加南方的军训。他们渐渐喜欢了乡村音乐。慢慢地疯魔了整个世界。

㈨ 一篇英语阅读题 求答案以及翻译。

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(丢弃的) 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 (捍卫) 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?

那被你在你的沙发下后面找到的照片现在是大笔生意!

在2005年，美国艺术家Richard Prince的照片，无标题的(牛仔)，以 $ 1, 248, 000被卖了。

Prince的确不是当代唯一的艺术家。他与所谓的“found photographs”—— 一个在不固定的期限里从旧货店发现的被丢弃的印刷品对旧广告或从一个陌生的家庭册页的非职业照片。 德国艺术家Joachim Schmid，相信“基本上一切值得看”，会集了被丢弃的照片、明信片和报纸图片自1982年以来。 在他持续的项目， Archiv，他根据题材编组家庭生活的照片： 有狗的人们; 队; 新车; 家庭的晚餐; 等等。

就像Schmid，这位自已出版几本艺术杂志编辑，也捍卫这些被找到的照片。 其中的一个，仅仅被叫作“Found”，是出生一多雪的夜在芝加哥，当Davy Rothbard回到他的汽车发现在他的雨刷之有一张的恼怒的字条： “为什么在这里，您的汽车在她的地方？”笔记成为了Rothbard’s致瘾出版物的，起点特点发现照片读者送，在我们的抽屉发现的这样海报。

The整体发现照片现象提出了有些问题。 或许一最困难是： 这些图象真的能被被认为是艺术吗？ 如果可以，那是谁的艺术？ 被找到的照片由艺术家，这样Richard Prince生产了，可以仓促地骑着他的马遇见某人？ 或者王子怎么创造了这张照片？ 这是大家的猜测。 另外，当我们想象这些找到的照片的艺术家们（比如Schmid）背后故事的时候，我们也转动往我们自己的摄影册页。 为什么是记忆很重要对我们？ 我们所有寻求为什么结冰在计时我们的孩子、我们的父母，我们的恋人和我们自己？ 它们是否将意味是在我们离去后的任何人的任何一切？
