  Opposite Day is on January 24th each year. It is a strange but fun day. Whatever you say on this day must be the opposite of what you mean. If you say ‘yes’, you mean ‘no’ and viceversa. If someone tells you‘You don’t look so good today,’ you say ‘thank you’. Or perhaps that should be ‘No thank you’. If you have ever tried this for yourself, it can be quite confusing, although it is fun. Children love playingthis as a game and usually end up in non-stop laughter. Some psychologists have said that playing using opposite meanings is a good “philosophy course” for kids – it gets them thinking. It could also be the day when ‘opposites attract,’ which means two people who have totally different characters start a relationship.
  人们在每年的1月24日来庆祝相反节。这是一个有点奇怪又有趣的节日。不管你这天说了什么都要反着说。如果你说“是”,那么你的意思就是“不是”,反之亦然。如果某人告诉你‘你今天看起来不太好’,你应该说‘谢谢’。或许你应该说‘不,谢谢’。如果你还没有尝试过,尽管这很有趣,但是你会感到非常困惑。孩子喜欢将它当成一种游戏,通常的结果是不停的大笑。许多心理学家认为说反话对孩子来说是一门很好的“心理课程”,可以帮助他们思考。这天也许会成为‘异性相吸’的一天,及时是两种性格截然不同的人也可能会建立恋爱关系。
  Opposite Day can be a very useful day for students. This is a good time to get out vocabulary notebooks and find the antonyms, or opposites, to different words. Students could focus onprefixes that are used to give a word an opposite meaning. For example ‘un’ in ‘unhelpful’ and ‘unnecessary’, or ‘il’ in illegal’ and ‘illogical’. There are many more. Actually, Opposite Day reminds me of a little verse I learntas a child. Here it is: “One bright morning in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back, they faced each other. Drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise, and came to arrest the two dead boys. If you don't believe this story’s true, ask the blind man - he saw it too!” Confusing? Why not make your own opposite story?
  相反节对于学生来说可能会非常有用。这一天,学生会翻出词汇书,查找反义词。学生很有可能会关注词语的前缀来获得相反的意思。例如‘un’有‘unhelpful’和‘unnecessary’,‘il’有‘illegal’和‘illogical’。还有很多。其实,相反节让我想起了我小时候学到过的一首小诗。诗文是:“夜半时分的早上,两个死人起床打斗。他们面对面。拔出了剑,向对方射杀。一名聋子警官听见了噪音,抓住了两名死者。如果你不相信这个故事是真实的,那就问问这个失明的人吧,他看到了一切。”觉得困惑吗?为什么不动笔也写一篇相反的故事呢?
  1.in the middle of the night 午夜
  例句:My Hell Week began in the middle of the night.
  我的魔鬼训练周是在午夜开始的。
  2.draw sword 拔剑
  例句:Saul said to his armor-bearer, 'Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and abuse me.'
  Saul吩咐拿他兵器的人说,拔出刀来,杀了我,免得那些未受割礼的人来凌辱我。
  3.start a relationship 开始新恋情
  例句:I'm flattered that you asked, but I'm not ready to start a relationship right now.
  你是一个很好的男人/女人,但我实在太忙了,没有准备好和别人建立到长期、稳定的恋爱关系。
  4.vice versa 反之亦然
  例句:A blocking queue in which each insert operation must wait for a corresponding remove operation by another thread, and vice versa.
  这是一个阻塞队列,其中,每个插入操作必须等待另一个线程的对应移除操作,反之亦然。
