The Moffats were very fashionable,and simple Meg was rather daunted, at first,by the splendour of the house and the elegance of its occupants.But they were kindly people in spite of the frivolous life they led,and soon put their guest at her ease.Perhaps Meg felt,without understanding why,that they were not particularly cultivated or intelligent people and that all their gilding could not quite conceal the ordinary material of which they were made.It certainly was agreeable to fare sumptuously,drive in a fine carriage,wear her best frock every day,and do nothing but enjoy herself.It suited her exactly;and soon she began to imitate the manners and conversation of those about her;to put on little airs and graces,use French phrases,crimp her hair,take in her dresses,and talk about the fashions as well as she could.The more she saw of Annie Moffat's pretty things,the more she envied her,and sighed to be rich.Home now looked bare and dismal as she thought of it,work grew harder than ever,and she felt that she was a very destitute and much-injured girl,in spite of the new gloves and silk stockings.

曾几何时，动画片的配音演员只是甘居幕后的无名英雄，连名字都上不了演员表。如今，在配音职员表上我们看到了越采越多风光无限的大牌明星，明星加盟俨然成了动画影片的一大卖点。有明星加盟的动画片真的对观众更有吸引力吗?面对着激烈的商业竞争，专业配音演员还能分得一杯羹吗?
人类对水果情有独钟，因为品种繁多的水果不仅营养丰富、香甜可口，而且还把我们的语言装扮得异彩纷呈，如：“苹果脸”，“樱桃小嘴”，“桃花运”等等。英语中也有很多异曲同工的表达方式，如fig leaves(遮羞布)，sour grapes(可望而不可及的东西)，a plum job(美差)，等等。下面让我们具体来看看英语中这类语言现象吧：
