St. Patrick's Day

R-Man is missing
  
爱尔兰日What you need to know: Why is St.Patrick's day associated with the color green?
Saint Patrick's Day (March 17th), is an Irish holiday honoring Saint Patrick, the missionary credited with converting the Irish to Christianity (in the 400's AD).
Who is St.Patrick?
Saint Patrick was not actually Irish. Historical sources report that he was born around 373 A.D. in either Scotland or in Roman Britain (the Romans left Britain in 410 A.D.). His real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat (he took on Patrick, or Patricus, after he became a priest). He was kidnapped at the age of 16 by pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland (I am not making this up). During his 6-year captivity (he worked as a shepherd), he began to have religious visions, and found strength in his faith. He finally escaped (after voices in one of his visions told him where he could find a getaway ship) and went to France, where he became a priest (and later a bishop).
When he was about 60 years old, St. Patrick travelled to Ireland to spread the Christian word. It's said that Patrick had an unusually winning personality, and that helped him win converts. He used the shamrock, which resembles a three-leafed clover, as a metaphor to explain the concept of the Trinity (father, son, holy spirit).
Legend has it that Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland -- that they all went into the sea and drowned. Poor snakes. I don't know why he would want to do this, except that the snake was a revered pagan symbol, and perhaps this was a figurative tale alluding to the fact that he drove paganism out of Ireland.
In America, Saint Patrick's Day is a basically a time to wear green and party. The first American celebration of Saint Patrick's Day was in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737. As the saying goes, on this day "everybody is Irish!" Over 100 U.S. cities now hold Saint Patrick's Day parades, the largest held in New York City.
Green is associated with Saint Patrick's Day because it is the color of spring, Ireland, and the shamrock. Leprechauns are also associated with this holiday, although I'm not sure why. Leprechauns of legend are actually mean little creatures, with the exception of the Lucky Charms guy. They were probably added later on because capitalists needed something cute to put on greeting cards.
What's good luck on Saint Patrick's Day?

? Finding a four-leaf clover (that's double the good luck it usually is).
? Wearing green.
(School children have started a little tradition of their own -- they pinch classmates who don't wear green on this holiday).
? Kissing the blarney stone.
An Irish blessing to take with you today:
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow
And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.

Word Bank
Leprechaun (爱尔兰传说中的小妖精，常藏一包金子）
Irish fairy. Looks like a small, old man (about 2 feet tall), often dressed like a shoemaker,with a cocked hat and a leather apron. According to legend, leprechauns are aloof and unfriendly, live alone, and pass the time making shoes...they also possess a hidden pot of gold. Treasure hunters can often track down a leprechaun by the sound of his shoemaker's hammer. If caught, he can be forced (with the threat of bodily violence) to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, but the captor must keep their eyes on him every second. If the captor's eyes leave the leprechaun (and he often tricks them into looking away), he vanishes and all hopes of finding the treasure are lost.
Blarney stone （巧言石，爱尔兰Blarney 城堡的石头, 相传吻此石头后即善于花言巧语)
The Blarney Stone is a stone set in the wall of the Blarney Castle tower in the Irish village of Blarney. Kissing the stone is supposed to bring the kisser the gift of persuasive eloquence (blarney). The castle was built in 1446 by Cormac Laidhiv McCarthy (Lord of Muskerry) -- its walls are 18 feet thick (necessary to thwart attacks by Cromwellians and William III's troops). Thousands of tourists a year still visit the castle.

Questions from the story:

1. What are some of the Marsupials in Australia? 2. Is Platypus a kind of Bird or Mammal? 3. What do Koala bears mainly eat? 4. What does Tony suggest Nancy buy as a souvenir gift from Australia?
Nancy: Buckle up, everyone! We are flying to Australia…
Here I am in Australia, Sydney. This is our local *Aussie guide Tony. Let's see what and where does Tony suggest we should go for a visit? Is there anything interesting to look at?
Tony the guide (A native Aussie): I would suggest *Sydney Opera House and the *Harbor bridge. These are the landmark tourist spot in Sydney.
Nancy: Ok, I see, but how can I go there from downtown?
Tony: it’s not far, walking is the best way. And also if you want to get an entire view of the harbor, you can take a ferry (摆渡).
Nancy: Wowwww, what a great view! I love this place. The sky is blue and the people are friendly.
Tony: well you know what? I think it's time to meet some native Australian animals. I bet you will love them.
Nancy: Yeah, sounds great! Let's go!
Tony: Here are some of the famous animals in Australia called *Kangaroos. Those are *Koala bears. They are both called *marsupial. Look carefully you might find a baby kangaroo in mama kangaroo’s pocket.
Nancy: They are so cute. What is this?
Tony: oh Nancy look this is another rare species in Australia, called *platypus.
Nancy: wow, are they a kind of ducks.
Tony: No, they look like ducks but belong to mammals. See how fast they can swim?
Nancy: Yes. Amazing! Ouch!
Tony: Hey, watch out, the tree you just bumped into is native to Australia. It's called *Eucalyptus, and its leaves are the favorite food for the koala bears.
Nancy: The koala bears and kangaroos are so special, but why do you think Australia has owned so many marsupials whereas other countries don't?
Tony: good question! Australia does have a lot of such marsupials, which other countries won't have. If you look at the map closely you will discover Australia is an isolated continent on the South Pacific Ocean. This way it makes the continent unique for secluding (隔离) many rare animals and plants.
Nancy: I see, so Tony what other things are unique to your country?
Tony: The *aboriginal culture in Australia is something unique. So if you have time you can check out the Aboriginal exhibition and buy some Aboriginals' handmade souvenirs (纪念品). They are cool.
Nancy: Sure, and what other things I can bring back as a gift?
Tony: I would suggest *Lanolin cream. Those contain natural oils from the famous Australian sheep. They are highly moisturizing, and good for your skin.
Nancy: Great, I will buy some for my friends.

Linda went into the kitchen and smelled the soup.
琳达走进厨房，闻了闻汤。
“It will taste better with some salt,” she told herself, so she added some salt.
她自言自语说：“这汤要是加些盐肯定更好喝了，”于是她也往汤里加了一些盐。
Later, Lucy thought, “I really ought to help Mom.”
又过了一会儿，露西想，“我真应该去帮帮妈妈呀。”
And she put some salt in as well.
她也往汤里加了一些盐。
Without tasting the soup, Monica quickly added some salt too. “This will make the soup so good,” thought Monica.
没等尝一下汤，莫尼卡就快速地往里面加了些盐。“这一定会让这汤变得非常美味，”莫尼卡想道。
That night, the hungry guests sat waiting for the soup.
当晚，饥肠辘辘肚子的客人们都坐着等那碗汤了。
They could smell it, and it smelled good.
他们能够闻到汤的味道，闻起来好极了。
Then Mrs. Simpson put it on the table in front of everyone.
然后辛普森太太把汤端到桌上，每个人都可以看到。
The children’s godfather was there at the table.
孩子们的教父也在餐桌旁。
Mrs. Simpson gave him the first dish.
辛普森太太第一个将汤分给了他。
He took a big mouthful of the soup.
他喝了一大口。
Immediately his eyes grew wide and his face turned purple.

He grabbed a glass of water and drank it all.
他赶紧抓了一杯水，一饮而进。
Mrs. Simpson knew there must be something wrong with the soup.
辛普森太太知道一定是汤有什么问题。
So she took a sip. And she knew.
她也喝了一小口，就知道了是怎么回事。
“Which one of you girls put salt into the soup?” she asked her daughters.
“你们中是谁给汤加的盐呀？“她问几个女儿。
“I did, mom,” said all five daughters together.
“是我，妈妈，”五个女儿异口同声地说道。
“And I did, too,” said Mrs. Simpson helplessly.
“我也加了，(哎).”辛普森太太无助的说道。
给孩子的话
小朋友，你认为是什么让辛普森太太这道汤变得如此奇特呢？你能想象这道汤是什么味道吗？
我们每个人都遇到过时间紧急的时候，在很短的时间里做出最精彩的事情需要我们提前很好的安排。那么辛普森太太由于忙乱忘记了加盐，五个女儿互相推托，之后又在毫不知情的情况下放了五次盐。这都是因为没有很好的安排时间。女儿们由于缺乏沟通，好心却造就了一碗奇特的汤。这应该是叫做粗心大意的汤。你从这碗汤里学到了什么吗？
