㈠ 世界名人英文簡介

1、J.K. Rowling is the pen name she uses as a writer. The J is for Joanne, her real first name, but she prefers to be called Jo.

Apparently, people only call her Joanne when they're angry with her. The K is made up. Her publisher asked her to write using a name with two initials, but she didn't have a middle name.

J.K.羅琳是她作為作家的筆名。「J」是喬安妮的縮寫，她真名中的第一個名字，但她更願被叫做喬。很顯然，人們只有對她生氣時才會叫她的全名。她的出版商叫她使用帶有兩個首字母的筆名，但她真名中沒有中名，所以「K」是編造的。

Jo did a few different things before she struck upon the idea of writing children's books. She worked as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International and as an English teacher in Portugal.

The idea for the Harry Potter novels came from nowhere while she was on a train to London. She said,"The characters and situations came flooding into my head".

在她有寫兒童書的想法前，喬做過幾份不同的工作。她做過調查員、國際特赦組織的雙語秘書，在葡萄牙做過英語老師。她在去倫敦的火車上萌生了創作哈利·波特的想法。她說「人物形象和情景湧入了腦海。」

2、Jackie Chan is a true action movie great. He has appeared in dozens of movies and is a screen legend. He had a simple beginning as a Chinese refugee in Hong Kong. His early yearswere, perhaps, a sign of things to come.

His parents nicknamed him 『Pao-Pao', which means cannonball, because he had so much energy.

成龍是一位真正的動作電影大師。他出演過幾十部電影，是一位屏幕傳奇人物。成龍開始時只是一個在香港的中國難民。也許他小時候就有成名的跡象。因為他精力旺盛，他的父母給他起了一個小名「炮炮」，意思是他像炮彈一樣。

Chan enrolled in the China Drama Academy to study opera while still in his teens. He spent ten years there and worked part-time as a stuntman in the kung fu movie instry.

He soon earned the reputation as Hong Kong's most fearless stuntman. He moved into acting, but his first two films were both flops. He quit the movie business and moved to Australia.

成龍十幾歲時進入中國戲劇學院學習歌劇。他在這里待了十年，業余時在功夫電影行業做武師。不久，他就獲得了香港最無畏武師的榮譽。成龍進入演藝圈，但最初的兩部電影都失敗了。他退出了電影界，搬到了澳大利亞。

3、John Winston Ono Lennon is one of the most famous musical artists ever. He shot to fame as one of The Beatles. He co-wrote most of the band's songs, the majority of which are now rock classics.

He also helped shape the social revolution of the 1960s. His solo career further elevated him as a music legend. Lennon also achieved fame as a peace activist.

約翰·溫斯頓·小野·列儂是有史以來最著名的音樂家之一。他作為披頭士樂隊的成員一舉成名。他參與創作了大部分披頭士樂隊歌曲，其中大部分歌曲都是現在的經典搖滾樂。約翰·列儂也幫助促成了19世紀60年代的社會革命。他的獨唱生涯進一步促使他成為音樂界傳奇。列儂也因激進和平主義者的身份而出名。

Lennon was born in Liverpool in 1940. He was brought up by an aunt, who bought him a harmonica and taught him how to play the banjo.

Lennon's mother played him Elvis Presley records and he fell in love with Rock and Roll. He told his mother and aunt he would be a famous singer one day.

1940年，列儂出生在利物浦，他的姨媽將他撫養大，給他買了一隻口琴，還教他彈五弦琴。他的媽媽為他播放埃爾維斯·普雷斯利的唱片，自此他愛上了搖滾音樂。列儂告訴他的媽媽和姨媽總有一天他會成為著名的歌手。

4、Jennifer Lopez, a.k.a. J.Lo, is a multi-talented and influential superstar. She is an actress, singer-songwriter, record procer, and dancer. She is also a very smart businesswoman and has used her fame to launch her own fashion line and perfumes.

She has upset animal rights groups by using fur. She is the richest entertainer of Latin American ancestry in Hollywood.

The Century』s Greatest Minds

Albert Einstein
本世紀最偉大的智者

阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦

The scientific touchstones of the modern age—— Bomb, space travel, electronics, Quantum physics——all bear his imprint.
原子彈、太空旅行、電子學、量子物理這些現代科學的代表都有賴於他的影響。

Einstein had conjured the whole business, it seemed. He did not invent the 「thought experiment」, but he raised it to high art. Imagine twins , wearing identical watches; one stays home, while the other rides in a spaceship near the speed of light … little wonder that from 1919, Einstein was——and remains today——the world』s most famous scientist.
愛因斯坦好象改變了所有的事情。他沒發明什麼「思維的實驗」，但他將其提升到新高度：試想一對雙胞胎，帶著相同的手錶；一個呆在家裡，同時另一個在飛船中以近光速運動… …毫無疑問，自從1919年至今，愛因斯坦一直是世界最知名的科學家。

In his native Germany he became a target for hatred . As a Jew, a liberal, a humanist, an internationalist, he attracted the enmity of rationalist and anti-semites. His was now a powerful voice, widely heard, always attended to , especially after he moved to the U.S. He used it to promote zionism, pacifism, in his secret 1939 letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt, the construction of a uranium bomb.
在他出生的德國，他成為了仇恨的對象。作為一個猶太人，一個自由主義者，一個人道主義者，一個國際主義者，他招致了民族主義者和反猶太者的敵意。他的聲音當時是有影響力的，廣泛傳播且被重視的，尤其在他到了美國之後。他用它去提倡以色列的猶太人復國主義，和平主義和建造原子彈（在他39年給羅斯福的密信中）。

Meanwhile, like any demigod, he made bits of legend: that he failed math in school (not true). That he opened a book and found an uncashed $1,500 check he had left as a bookmark (maybe---he was absentminded about everyday affairs).That he was careless about socks, collars, slippers … that he couldn』t even remember his address: 112 Mercer Street in Princeton, where he finally settled.
同時，像每個名人一樣，他製造了一些傳聞；在學校中數學不及格（八成不是真的）。他翻開書卻發現一張沒兌現的$1500的支票被當成書簽扔在裡面（或許他對日常的事務心不在焉）。他不在意自己的襪子，領口和拖鞋… …甚至他想不起自己最後定居的住址：普林斯頓莫色爾大街112號。

He died there in 1955 And after the rest of Einstein had been cremated, his brain remained, soaking for decades in a jar of formaldehyde belonging to Dr. Thomas Harvey. No one had bothered to dissect the brain of Freud, Stravinsky or Joyce, but in the 1980s, bits of Einsteinian gray matter were making the rounds of certain neurobiologists, who thus learned … absolutely nothing. It was just a brain——the brain that dreamed a plastic fourth dimension, that banished the ether, that released the pins binding us to absolute space and time, that refused to believe God played dice.
1955年他死在那裡。當他身體其餘部分被火化後，他的大腦被保存起來，在一瓶甲醛中侵了幾十年，現屬於托馬斯博士。沒人費心去解剖弗洛伊德、斯特拉文斯基或喬伊斯的大腦，但在80年代，一些神經生物學家為搞清愛因斯坦的一些灰質大費周折，但最後一無所獲。那隻不過是一個大腦，它想像了一個可伸縮的第四維度，它推翻了以太學說，它使我們從絕對時空的束縛中解脫出來，它拒絕相信上帝在拋骰子。

In embracing Einstein, our century took leave of a prior universe and an erstwhile God. The new versions were not so rigid and deterministic as the Newtonian world. Einstein』s. God was no clockmaker, but the embodiment of reason in nature. This God did not control our actions or even sit in judgment on them. (「Einstein, stop telling God what to do,」 Niels Bohr Finally retorted.) This God seemed rather kindly and absentminded, as a matter of fact . Physics was free, and we too are free, in the Einstein universe which is where we live.
因為信奉了愛因斯坦，我們的世紀告別了原有的宇宙和上帝。新的宇宙和上帝不再那麼刻板、僵硬，象牛頓的世界那樣。愛因斯坦的上帝不是鍾表匠而是自然定律的化身。這個上帝不控制我們的行動，更不對其加以判決。（「愛因斯坦，別再管上帝該干什麼。」玻爾最終反駁道）這個上帝實際上似乎有些和善，心不在焉。在這個愛因斯坦的宇宙中，在這個我們生息繁衍的宇宙中，物理學沒有了束縛，我們也沒有了束縛。

㈨ 介紹一位你熟悉的名人（英語）

Montesquieu
Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu , 18 January 1689 – 10 February 1755), generally referred to as simply Montesquieu, was a French social commentator and political thinker who lived ring the Enlightenment. He is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers, which is taken for granted in modern discussions of government and implemented in many constitutions throughout the world. He was largely responsible for the popularization of the terms feudalism and Byzantine Empire.
He was born at the Château de la Brède in the southwest of France. His father, Jacques de Secondat, was a soldier with a long noble ancestry. His mother, Marie Françoise de Pesnel who died when Charles de Secondat was seven, was a female inheritor of a large monetary inheritance who brought the title of barony of La Brède to the Secondat family.[citation needed] After having studied at the Catholic College of Juilly, Charles-Louis de Secondat married. His wife, Jeanne de Lartigue, a Protestant, brought him a substantial dowry when he was 26. The next year, he inherited a fortune upon the death of his uncle, as well as the title Baron de Montesquieu and Président à Mortier in the Parliament of Bordeaux. By that time, England had declared itself a constitutional monarchy in the wake of its Glorious Revolution (1688–89), and had joined with Scotland in the Union of 1707 to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1715 the long-reigning Louis XIV died and was succeeded by the five-year-old Louis XV. These national transformations impacted Montesquieu greatly; he would later refer to them repeatedly in his work.

Soon afterwards, he achieved literary success with the publication of his Lettres persanes (Persian Letters, 1721), a satire based on the imaginary correspondence of a Persian visitor to Paris, pointing out the absurdities of contemporary society. He next published Considérations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains et de leur décadence (Considerations on the Causes of the Grandeur and Decadence of the Romans, 1734), considered by some scholars a transition from The Persian Letters to his master work. De l'Esprit des Lois (The Spirit of the Laws) was originally published anonymously in 1748 and quickly rose to a position of enormous influence. In France, it met with an unfriendly reception from both supporters and opponents of the regime. The Catholic Church banned l'Esprit – along with many of Montesquieu's other works – in 1751 and included it on the Index of Prohibited Books. It received the highest praise from the rest of Europe, especially Britain.

Montesquieu was also highly regarded in the British colonies in North America as a champion of British liberty (though not of American independence). Political scientist Donald Lutz found that Montesquieu was the most frequently quoted authority on government and politics in colonial pre-revolutionary British America, cited more by the American founders than any source except for the Bible.[1] Following the American revolution, Montesquieu's work remained a powerful influence on many of the American founders, most notably James Madison of Virginia, the "Father of the Constitution". Montesquieu's philosophy that "government should be set up so that no man need be afraid of another" reminded Madison and others that a free and stable foundation for their new national government required a clearly defined and balanced separation of powers.

Besides composing additional works on society and politics, Montesquieu traveled for a number of years through Europe including Austria and Hungary, spending a year in Italy and 18 months in England before resettling in France. He was troubled by poor eyesight, and was completely blind by the time he died from a high fever in 1755. He was buried in the Église Saint-Sulpice, Paris.
