篇一：刺客信条经典语言

Che la morte ti dia la pace che cercavt.Requiescat in pace

(May death provide the peace you sought,rest in peace)

愿死亡给你带来平静，安息吧

i'll make you suffer,i decide who live or die

我会让你痛苦，我决定生或死

Nothing is true, everything is permitted

没有什么是真的，一切都是允许的

Mario：No thing is ture ,and every thing is permitted，these are the words spoken by our ancestors that lay at the heart of our creed.

万物皆虚，万事皆允。（直译：没有什么是真实的，一切都是被允许的）

这是我们的祖先说过的，它们奠定了我们信仰的核心。

presenter：when other men blindly follow the truth，remember当其他人盲目的追寻真相的时候，记住--

Ezio：Nothing is ture万物皆虚

presenter：when other men are limited by of laws，remember当其他的人受到道德和法律的限制，记住--

Ezio：Everything is permitted.万事皆允

presenter：We work in the dark and serve the lights,we are assassins.我们在黑暗中工作，为光明服务，我们，是刺客。

When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I have time, but I did not know it. I have love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three.

当我仍然年轻时，我拥有自由，但我未窥探到它，但我未意识到它，我曾有时间，但我却没感觉到它，还有我也拥有爱.数十载逝去，我才了解这三者的意义

When other men blindly follow the truth,remember...Nothing is true.

When other men are limited,by morality or law,remember...Everything is permitted.

We work in the dark to serve the light.We are assassins.

Nothing is true,everything is permitted.

其他人盲目的追求真相，记住……没有什么是真实的。当其他人是有限的，在道德和法律，一切是被允许的。我们在黑暗中工作服务的光。我们是刺客。没有什么是真的，一切都是被允许的。

When other men blindly follow the truth,remember...Nothing is true.

When other men are limited,by morality or law,remember...Everything is permitted. 当其他人盲目追寻真实的时候，记住，万物皆虚……

当其他人被道德和法律束缚住的时候，记住，万事皆允……

莱昂纳多:这位是伯爵夫人，别看她外貌这么漂亮，她的外貌和她的恐怖程度成正比例。 Ezio:这不是我喜欢的类型

从一代来看

Altair: 你不是以前说，“万事皆须，万事皆可行”吗？

Al Mualim: 你不懂此话的真实含义，我的孩子。它不是授予你自由去做你想去做的事，这是个知识，是能指引你感受的。它要的是你很显然没有的智慧！

============================================

Al Mualim: 你胜利的喜讯已经传到我这了。我要感谢你，那个城市也要感谢你。你把城市从那些腐败的领导者们解放了出来，这将毫无疑问的提升和平的事业。

Altair: 你真的会很肯定吗？

Al Mualim: 人统治的方法是由他的人民反映出来的。你清理了腐败的城市，你就治愈了市民的心灵和思想。

Altair: 我们的敌人不这样认为。

Al Mualim: 你的意思是？

Altair: 我所杀的人都对我说了些奇怪的话。他们都没有后悔。即使快死了，他们也看着对胜利很有自信。虽然他们不直接承认，但他们之间的确有跟线在连接着他们。我很肯定。

Al Mualim: 这两者是有区别的，Altair：一个是别人告诉我们什么是真的，另一个是我们看的什么是真的。大部分人都懒得去区分，这样做更容易些。但作为刺客，你的本性就该去观察，去提问。

============================================

Al Mualim: 你走之前，我有个问题问你。

Altair: 请说。

Al Mualim: 什么是真理？

Altair: 我们把信念放在自己里。我们用真实存在的方法去看世界，并希望某一天全世界的人都可以这样看世界。

Al Mualim: 那么什么是世界？

Altair: 一个假象。我们可以要么屈从于它，就如大多数人都这样做；或者超越它。

Al Mualim: 怎么样去超越它？

Altair: 要认知到万事皆虚，万事皆行。法律不是来自于神，而是理性。我现在明白了我们的信条不是要求我们去自由。是要求我们智慧。

Al Mualim: 你现在知道为什么圣殿骑士是个威胁了吗？

Altair: 我们驱散假象，他们却用假象来统治。

Al Mualim: 是的。他们想重新塑造一个让他们满意的世界。所以我派你去偷他们的宝藏。所以我把它一直锁起来。所以你要杀死他们。只要还有一个人活着，他们渴望创造新世界秩序的想法就也活着。带上你的武器，去找这个最后的敌人。他死了，最终Robert de Sable就会脆弱了。

When other men blindly follow the truth,remember...Nothing is true.

当别人盲目地迷信真理，记住....没有什么是真实的

When other men are limited,by morality or law,remember...Everything is permitted.

当别人被道德和法律所拘束时，记住....没有什么是不允许的

We work in the dark to serve the light.

我们为了服务光明而耕耘黑暗

We are assassins.

我们，是刺客

Nothing is true,everything is permitted.

没有什么是真实的，一切都是允许的

刺客教条（我个人感觉是行为准则）：

1、不作出损害组织利益的事

2、不杀害无辜的人（另一种说法是不伤害平民）

3、隐藏在黑暗中（意思是保持低调、隐蔽）

刺客信条（兄弟会里权威正规的信条）：

万物皆虚，万事皆允。

当其他人盲目的追寻真相和真实的时候，记住。

万物皆虚。

当其他人受到法律和道德的束缚的时候，记住。

万事皆允。

我们服侍光明却耕耘于黑暗。

我们是刺客。

刺客大师阿泰尔的三个反讽：

1、和平是建立在人们的鲜血之上的

2、刺客在解放人们内心的同时，也要遵守规矩

3、刺客要在迷信中独善其身，才能知道迷信的危害性

冲动暴躁，嗜血好杀也算前辈阿泰尔的一个特点，我们都知道阿泰尔一开始就因为自己的冲动好杀，导致了自己差点丢了性命，这不影响他日后成为一个真正的刺客。和平是建立在人们的鲜血之上的，有时候必须付出，有时候必须见血，这时候你不能避免！后二条基本上就是告诉大家尽信书，不如无书！信条更需要自己拿捏，仁者见仁智者见智！

（我个人非常欣赏阿泰尔这几句话，很有主见，看以看出阿泰尔骨子里是个COOL MAN！）

万物皆虚，万事皆允。艾吉奥入会时诵读，来看看Ezio（艾吉奥）相关经典名言： Ezio在刺客信条2中说“真正睿智的人不会向你指明真相，而是教导你去发现真相” Ezio在刺客信条兄弟会中说“我的教堂不是用来供奉上帝的”

Ezio在刺客信条启示录中说“拿起你的剑，我的勇士，为正义，为自由而战”

刺客Assassin's 当我还年轻时，我拥有自由，不过我没有看到。我拥有时间，不过我没注意到。我拥有爱，但我没感觉到。如今很多年已经过去了，现在我真正懂得这三者的含义。在我的垂暮之年，这些认知逐渐转变成了幸福。爱，自由，时间。曾经随意丢弃的这些，原来正是驱使我前行的动力。这其中，爱，最为特别。

篇二：新编英语教程 3 Unit 5 The Light at the End of the Chunnel

Unit 5 The Light at the End of the Chunnel

Teaching objectives

1. to be familiar with narration in informal tone

2. to get a good understanding about the relationship between France and the Great Britain from the historical viewpoint

Teaching procedure

I. Pre-reading questions:

1. As far you know, do you think transportation plays an essential role in a country’s development? How and in what aspects?

2. What is the significance of English Channel Tunnel?

3. How did the English and the French people look at the Chunnel, joyously or resentfully? Why do you think so?

I. The English Channel

1.English Channel, narrow sea, western Europe, separates France and Great Britain(known in French as La Manche (“the sleeve”).

2.Its principal islands are the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands.

3.The channel is at its narrowest between Dover in England and Cape Gris-Nez, near Calais, in France, it being 34km wide.

II. Background knowledge

1. The function of the English Channel

1) as a route for invaders of Britain from the

Continent:

a. crossed by Julius Caesar’s legion in 55B.C.

b. Norman forces in 1066

2) As a barrier: Napoleon and Hitler threatened to cross it, they failed.

3) The Channel has chiefly served as a physical barrier to the invasion of Britain.

2. The long-lasting Anglo-French conflict

1) In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, France, conquered England and became King William I of England.

2) In 1154 King Henry II recovered the English throne. France assisted Scotland, over which the English kings attempted to dominate. These sources of friction led to fighting between the 2 countries from 1294-1337.

3) In 1337, Edward III of England took the title of King of France.this step began the Hundred Years’ War which continued on and off until 1453.

4) During King Henry VIII’s reign(1509-1547), England again invaded France and expanded its holdings around Calais.

5) From 1689to 1815 there was a series of conflicts between Britain and France for domination of the North American continent.It lasted until the final defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815.

3. The Channel Tunnel Project

1) 1802 from a French engineer, the British government held off for security reasons.

2) Early 1880s,digging began, the project was cancelled again for the same reason.

3)1950s, the missile age made the defense consideration obsolete. In 1964, the 2 governments agreed to proceed with a rail tunnel.

4) In 1975 , the British government cancelled the project because of the constantly rising costs.

5) In 1987,the construction began again.

4. Channel Tunnel Drill

An immense road-header machine drills out clay during the construction of the Channel Tunnel. The tunnel runs beneath the English Channel and became operational in May 1994. Completed at a cost of $15 billion, it enables passenger and freight trains to travel from Paris, France, to London, England, in about 3 hours.

5. Normandy Cliffs

The white cliffs of Aval, in the Normandy region of northern France, rise above the English Channel.

6. Channel Tunnel Inauguration

French President Fran?ois Mitterand and Queen Elizabeth II of Britain inaugurated the Channel Tunnel in 1994. The railway tunnel, also known as the Chunnel, connects Folkestone, England, with Calais, France.

7. Ice Ages

Periods in Earth’s history when sea ice or glaciers have covered a significant portion of the planet’s surface and significant cooling of the atmosphere has occurred. Earth has existed for about 4.5 billion years. During that time it has experienced several ice ages, each lasting tens of millions of years. The total of these episodes may account for as much as 15 to 20 percent of the planet’s history. The icy cover has ranged from about 10 percent to about 30 percent of the entire surface of the planet.

The most recent ice age, the Pleistocene Epoch, lasted from about 1.6 million years to 10,000 years before present. During that time at least 20 glaciations, or periods when the ice cover increased, occurred. Each of these periods was followed by an interglaciation, or a period when the ice cover shrank.

III. Main idea

The text is a feature report which introduces one of the most important infrastructure construction projects in Modern Europe —— the English Channel Tunnel. It consists of two parts. First, it begins with an objective presentation of both the British and French local residents’ negative opinions on the Chunnel, which result from their mutual feeling of dislike. In spite of this, the construction began and the project proves to be of great significance. The second part is the writer’s personal experience at the breakthrough ceremony. Although the difference of national characteristics still exists, the connection of two countries and the hug of the construction workers from two nations are incredibly toughing. Worries about and anticipation of the future of the Chunnel on the part of the Eurotunnel is disclosed at the end.

IV. words and expression

该项涂黑。

A

―There were no rush hours any more,‖ said Charles M. McLean, who runs the

nation’s busiest road. ―We have rush periods, and they keep getting longer and

longer.‖

McLean was describing Chicago's 235 mi1es of expressway. But the same might

be said about almost any of the expressways that have become an important part of

American city life---and about the heavy traffic that often blocks them.

In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed that controls traffic on the

city's seven expressways. Now one man- a controller- can follow the movement of

Chicago's traffic by looking at a set of lights.

The system uses electronic sensors that are built into each expressway, half a mile

apart. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor

and translates it into green, yellow, or red lights on a map in the control room.

A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means

thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic----cars standing still or

moving less than thirty miles an hour

―See that red light near Austin Avenue?‖ the controller asked a visitor. ―That’s a

repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it.‖

At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from

green to red and back to green again. ―A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,‖

the controller explained. ―They can’t speed up as fast as cars.‖

The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking

traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the

number of accidents by l8 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago's

expressways for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the

country there are 2.6.

Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the ―coming thing‖. Systems like

Chicago's are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston.

―,‖ says New York City’s traffic director; and he adds,

―We are far behind...!‖

26.What’ the main idea of the passage?

A. A Computerized Traffic Control System greatly helps in Chicago.

B. Rush Periods in Chicago are getting longer.

C. Chicago has the busiest road in the nation.

D. The expressways are faster now.

27．What can we learn from the passage?

A. The controller follows Chicago's traffic by waiting for the red light to turn to

green.

B. The sensor can immediately deal with the accidents.

C. The system has greatly helped to reduce the deaths on the expressways.

D. At the entrance to the expressway, the lights can change only because of the

speed of the truck

28. By saying ―‖ the director means _____.

A. Chicago has taken something very heavy.

B. They are under the control of Chicago.

C. Chicago is ahead of them in using the system.

D. Chicago is the center of all the systems in the US.

29. Why did the controller ask a visitor?

A. He wants to tell him how the lights work.

B. He cited it as an example to show the visitor what the lights tell.

B

In families with two working parents, fathers may have more impact on a child’s

language development than mothers, a new study suggests.

Researchers recruited 92 families from 11 child care centers before their children

were a year old, interviewing each to establish income, level of education and child

care arrangements. Over all, it was a group of well-educated middle-class families,

with married parents both living in the home.

When the children were 2, researchers videotaped them at home in free-play

sessions with both parents, recording all of their speech. The study will appear in the

November issue of The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology.

The scientists measured the total number of utterances of the parents, the number

of different words they used, the complexity of their sentences and other aspects of

their speech. On average, fathers spoke less than mothers did, but they did not differ

in the length of utterances or proportion of questions asked.

Finally, the researchers analyzed the children’s speech at age 3, using a

standardized language test. The only predictors of high scores on the test were the

mother’s level of education, the quality of child care and the number of different

words the father used.

The researchers are unsure why the father’s speech, and not the mother’s, had an

effect.

―It’s well that the mother’s language does have an impact,‖ said

Nadya Pancsofar, the lead author of the study and a graduate research assistant at the

Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina.

It could be that the high-functioning mothers in the study had already had a strong

influence on their children’s speech development, Ms. Pancsofar said, ―Or it may be

that mothers are contributing in a way we didn’t measure in the study.‖

31. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. How were children influenced by their parents?

B. A new study was done about the children in families with two working parents.

C. Fathers influenced a child’s language development

D. Fathers had a greater effect on the growth of children.

32. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The children were chosen at random.

B. All the children chosen were from the care centers.

C. The mother’s speech had no effect on the children.

D. The research was designed to find out why the father’s speech had more effects.

33. According to the study, ______________________________.

A. mothers’ function in the children’s speech development is high.

B. every aspect of the influence on the children’s speech development is not

involved.

C. fathers’ words were less than mothers’ and they did not differ in their

statements.

D. the standardized language test only concerned the education of mothers’, the

care children received and fathers’ words.

34. What does the word ―established‖ in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. set B. developed C. proved D. recognized

35. Why do fathers have a greater effect?

A. The reasons are not clear.

B. They do not change the length of their statements.

C. Fathers seldom speak in the family.

D. Fathers have a higher level of education than mothers.

C

Every day on the road, accidents are caused. They do not only happen. The

reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on

the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the

misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really

is, a sort of attack on oneself.

Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.

By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea

which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority

of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that

most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or

thoughtlessness.

It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to

have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety actions and

most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed,

but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from

work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or

misjudgment-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which

contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too

much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk

of accidents at work.
