1.挑战极限的英语作文

Dec. 25, 2001

Dear Mary,

Here it is Christmas again 。 and you are still in Los Angeles, and I am still in Boston,but with a whole continent between us! It would take far more than a continent between us to make me forget the many happy Christmases we had together and the many pleasant memories we both share.

Do you still remember the Christmas party you had when you and Ed got married? That day you had a big tree in the living room and a tiny one right beside it and everyone wondered why. Then you and Ed began openning the packages just around the little tree and taking out booties, mittens and Teddy Bears——and everybody there knew you were going to have a baby! It was a wonderful day that we ever had.

That was eleven years ago, Mary. Your daughter, Linda, must be quite a young lady now. And Tommy was born the year you moved to Los Angeles, so he must be seven. I hope I could see them, but I guess it will be long.

My husband, John, is very busy now, in fact, busier than ever. He is so conscientious that he won't go away for a weekend for fear that he won't finish on time his program on Water Pollution.

Anyway, Mary, the coming Christmas day makes me think of you and recall all the nice times we used to have. John and I send our love to all the family and the wish that everything will be well with you.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

2.挑战极限英语怎么写

push the envelope

Envelope是信封，但是在push the envelope这个习惯用语里，envelope可不是信封的意思。它是个技术性的词汇，指机械或其它设备的性能范围，或者功用极限。比方说，如果一辆汽车的设计规格为最高时速180公里，但是你却以190公里的时速驾驶这辆车，那么你就是在push the envelope，超越它的性能范围了，或者是在玩命了。

我们来看一个把push the envelope应用在技术领域的例子，讲的是飞行员试开新飞机：

Test pilots often have to put themselves into danger. Sometimes they have to push the envelope to see whether a newly designed plane really can meet the limits the designers planned. 试飞飞行员常不得不冒生命危险。有时候他们必须让新设计的飞机挑战极限，以便测试飞机是否真能达到设计人员所设定的安全极限。

在这里push the envelope意思是超越安全限度。

但是push the envelope这个习惯用语的应用范围并不局限于机械工程。它也转用到日常生活中，用来指人际关系的紧张化。来看下面这个例子：

He pushed the envelope when he hit his wife at the party after getting drunk. She asked for porce the next day. 他喝醉并当众殴打妻子的行为已经超过了他太太的忍耐限度，所以太太第二天就提出要和他离婚。
