洛根纳森，51岁，是弗科大工程学院土木和环境系的教授.据弗科大网站他个人简历说:自从他1982年来到弗科大,他荣获了杰出教师奖,优秀教学院长奖,优秀土木工程教工成就奖.印度时报报道说,洛根纳森来自印度泰米尔纳德邦,和妻儿住在弗科大校园里.
●解释
*professor:教授.英语单词就像我们中文的笔画,也有自身的规律可寻.professor就可以拆成这样记忆:pro-前，在公众之前＋拉丁词根fess声称，明言＋-or.记住前缀,词根,后缀是大量记忆英语单词的手段.
*civilengineering:土木工程.civil有全民的,民间的意思,这里土木的.
*environmentalengineering:环境工程.那么环境保护怎么说呢?对了,就是environmentalprotection.
*earn:意思get,获得,有时候表示make,比如earnmoney.
*outstanding:杰出的.如:heisanoutstandingactor.(他是一名杰出的演员.)
*faculty:heremeansallofthemembersofalearnedprofession:全体教员.
*award:奖
*dean:大学院长.
*excellence:优秀,卓越.
*achievement:成就,功绩.
*biography:有时候简写成bio,传记,简历.
*tamilnadu:泰米尔纳德邦.印度的"邦"相当于我们的省.tamilnaduisabeautifulstatenestledinthesouthernindianpeninsula,ontheshoresofthebayofbengalandthedeepblueindianocean.泰米尔纳德是一个坐落在南印度半岛美丽的邦,拥有漫长的孟加拉湾,面对浩瀚蔚蓝的印度洋.
*livewith:和...住在一起.
*times:时报.世界上有很多时报,时刊,最著名的是times(美国时代周刊),nyt:newyorktimes(纽约时报),moscowtimes(莫斯科时报),这里timesofindia:印度时报.andhereisitswebadd:http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/.

maxineturner
你刚要启程
走向新的人生
可是罪恶的子丨弹丨
却阻止了你的行程
夜色如此黑暗
是谁擦去了你的美丽
睡吧,特纳
天堂不会再有子丨弹丨
人们的怀念如潮
所有给你的留言
将会永远保存
在人们心里
玛克欣,我们回家
