即使新興經濟體的債券與股市在歐洲債務危機減緩的情況下已止跌回升，但糧食價格危機或許會成為他們的下一個絆腳石。
小麥價格自六月以來已經上漲逾五成，並且很可能因為預期供應減少而再次攀升。預期供應減少的心理導致了擔心二○○七年與二○○八年間的食物危機會重演，當時有許多經濟體被迫調高利率，以及使其他國家做出緊急控制的政策。

身體英語--手 下 (宏浩翻譯引用)
| 6. They've done a good job. Let's give them a big hand.
他們真是幹得不錯，讓我們給他們掌聲鼓勵鼓勵吧！ Give someone a hand 有兩個常用的意思，一個是指「助別人一臂之力」，例如你看到別人正在搬重的東西，就可以問問他，"Do you need a hand?" (需不需要幫忙呢？) 來關心別人一下。Give someone a hand 另一個則是指「掌聲鼓勵」，例如 "Let's give them a hand." 就是給別人掌聲鼓勵的意思。 |

身體英語--手 上 (宏浩翻譯引用)
| 1. I can't feel my hands.
我的手麻了. 笨霖我在英語筆記裏不只強調過一次，美國口語的趨勢是用兩三個比較常用的字來代替一個比較少見的字。例如這個句子就是最好的例子之一。手麻掉了，這個「麻」字毫無疑問的可以用numb，所以你可以把這句話說成，"My hands are numb." 但是因為前面提到的這個口語簡單化驅勢，老美們會用 can't feel 這兩個比較常用的字來代替 numb。也就是說老美通常是講，"I can't feel my hands." |

我們結婚了 下 (宏浩翻譯引用)
| 6. How many people did you invite to your wedding shower?
妳邀請了多少人去妳的告別單身女子派對啊? 以前我聽老美提到 wedding shower, (或稱 bridal shower) 我都會誤以為是老美在結婚前有某種的受洗儀式, (把身體洗乾淨一點, 以便?? ) 其實不然, wedding shower 算是 party 的一種. 美國是個很講究男女平等的社會, 男生有 bachelor party, 女生們也不甘示弱來辦個 wedding shower, 算是和男生分庭抗體, 所以基本上 wedding shower 就是告別單身女子的派對. |

我們結婚了 上 (宏浩翻譯引用)
| 1. I'm so glad you're getting married.
我很高興你要結婚了. Marry 這個字就是結婚的意思, 可是要注意的是, 「我要結婚」 這句話不能說成, "I will marry." 為什麼呢? 因為這個句子犯了兩個錯誤, 第一個錯誤是「結婚」老美不單講 marry, 而說 get married. 因為單講 marry 是表示嫁或娶的意思, 在這裏是一個及物動詞, 必須有受詞. 例如我要娶她就是 "I will marry her." 第二個錯誤是對於已經計劃好「要」作的事情, 口語上要用 be going to, 而非 will. (關於 will 和 be going to 的比較見註 1), 所以如果你說, "I will get married." 指的是, 我將來「想」結婚, 但什麼時候新娘是誰都還不知道. 但 "I'm getting married." 指的則是我「要」結婚了, 至少新娘已經選好了, 而且婚禮在近期內就要舉行了. |

在你的左手邊你會看到一座 BP 加油站. 指路的時候除了路名之外, 明顯的地標也是佷有幫助的. 通常你可以指出一些明顯的建築物或是加油站來幫助對方. 加油站的英文是 gas station, 有時會簡稱 station. |

機車退出人行道 三公尺以下先實施 (宏浩翻譯引用)
高雄市約有兩百二十多萬輛機車，數量居全國第一，消息一出，很多機車族以為機車將全面退出人行道，這段期間反彈聲浪很大。
交通局停管中心上週特別解釋，寬度超過三公尺的人行道，若路邊空間不足，在不妨礙安全下，仍可依規定留設機車格；人行道上若沒有格位，除公告禁停路段外，得停放於騎樓（由所有權人管理），因此市區現有位於騎樓、人行道及道路可停車區域約三十萬格以上的機車停車空間，都暫時未受影響。
