夏日最後的玫瑰這首歌曲，不論是演奏或演唱，每聽一次就會有不同的感動。是因為它優美略帶哀愁的曲調以及令人傷感的歌詞？ 這首個歌的歌詞原是一首詩，作者是18世紀愛爾蘭著名的文學家作曲家，湯瑪士摩爾(Thomas Moore 1779–1852)，曲調是有約翰斯提文森譜寫的。它曾被收輯在摩爾的愛爾蘭歌曲集Irish Melodies (1807–34)歌曲集。 在十八世紀時，這首歌曲即廣受注意，多位著名的作曲家，如貝多芬、孟德爾頌，與佛羅多Friedrich von Flotow相繼採用它的旋律，改編成小調、歌劇選曲或小提琴 一七七九年，湯瑪士摩爾出生於愛爾蘭都柏林，早年在都柏林附近的三一學院就讀。畢業後，赴英倫攻讀法律，跟英年早逝的英國詩人，雪萊及拜倫成為好朋友。 愛爾蘭歌曲集包含一百三十首創作的詩，搭配民謠曲而成。摩爾親自演唱，他的歌聲引來愛爾蘭愛國同胞的同情與支持。在當時，摩爾在文檀的地位可與拜倫與華特史考脫(劫後英雄傳)並駕齊驅。 至於這首歌，歷來許多成名的演唱家，不論是古典歌手或流行歌手，個人或樂團，演唱或演奏版(Andre Rieu)，人人都喜歡灌錄，也都頗受歌迷熱愛。早先有卡娜娃、娜娜、莎拉布萊曼，進入二十一世紀後，英國的克蘭納德家族合唱團 、愛爾蘭男高音Three Tenors，蓋爾威(Galway長笛)，夏綠蒂及英國的Celtic Woman天使女伶，海莉及克洛依，使這首歌再度流行，成為網路世代的新寵。

English for Tour Guides--Sample Speech 1 Welcoming tourists: Hello everyone. My name is Luca. On behalf of Suntan Tours I'd like to welcome you all to Los Cabos. The bus ride to your hotel will take about fifteen minutes. Right now I'd like to take a minute to familiarize you with the area and discuss some brief safety precautions. Firstly, I ask that you remain seated until we reach our destination and that you not eat or drink while on the bus. Secondly, please realize that it is against the law to get drunk in public. Enjoy your vacation, but do drink responsibly and do not drink and drive. 2. Describing the location: I promise you are going to enjoy your stay here in San Jose, Los Cabos. This is a beautiful, quiet city where you can relax, sit by the beach, enjoy great meals and feel very safe. You can walk into town and enjoy the fountains or take a moonlit walk along the water. Please do not swim here. This is not a safe place to swim because there is a strong undert

What happens if the airline loses my luggage? If you can't find your bag once you get off the plane, know that you are not alone. This happens to a lot of passengers. What you do is go directly to the airline desk and start filling out the paperwork, letting them know that your baggage has been lost. Sometimes it's just on the flight behind you and they will deliver it to you later. Otherwise, you might have to file a claim and wait for reimbursement from the airline. What does "overbooking" mean? Overbooking has been in the news a lot lately. All it means is that they've sold more tickets than there are seats for that flight, which is a scandal. Airlines often overbook because they like to fly full flights, so they will sell more tickets than there are seats because a few people just might not show up. This is overbooking. If your flight is overbooked, they might ask you to give up your seat, and if they don't ask you to give up your seat, they might do it fo

What other types of check-in are available at the airport? Curbside check-in is that little desk right on the sidewalk where the skycap is there ready to check you in, take your baggage, and give you your boarding pass. Sometimes, the line is a little shorter than inside at the baggage check-in desk, but it comes with a price. You're required to at least tip the skycap or sometimes there's a mandatory fee of two dollars per bag right there on a sign as you check in at the line. A self-service check-in is a know it all computer that knows who you are as soon as you put in your ID or your credit card. What you do is you verify who you are, and that you're on the next flight and what seat you want, and then it prints out your boarding pass for you, right then and there; nobody needs to help you.

Why do I have to be at the airport so early? We traditionally ask passengers if they are going to be flying domestically to get to the airports two hours before their flight. If they are flying internationally, get to the airport three hours before your flight. You have to manipulate the parking, you have to check in and get your ticket, you have to get your bags screened, you have to get through security, you have to find your gate. We think that two hours is a good amount of time for domestic flights, but it's always a good idea to check with the airline. If you have some flexibility in scheduling your flight, you can schedule it during non-peak hours when you know there's not going to be a lot of people at the airport.

This is an interview of a tour director. 1. Does it help if a guide is willing to travel? A: Yes. Well, there's the local industry. I have local people who have children, and it is wonderful because it's so flexible. if the person is in school or has another job, they can do touring part time, and it's a great way to get experience. A lot of people just work locally, and they can be home at night. It's more flexible compared to most jobs. 2. Can you draw any parallels between tour guiding and other types of employment? A:Teachers usually make real good guides. Mothers--they're used to being caretakers--make real good guides. Actors/Actresses: they have an audience, a captive audience. Health care workers do real well. We're somewhat like health care workers ourselves in the job. We're caretakers, we're lecturers, we're teachers, we're doctors, nurses, we're managers, we're working almost as travel agents. We wear a lot of hats. 3. Is ther

Going through customs 在某些情況下，經過海關時，你容易成為被抽查的對象。 Most managers travel a great deal these days. However experienced a traveler you may be, are you confident that you know all you should know about customs procedures? Customs officers occasionally carry out selective checks on travellers passing through the green or blue channels on their way to the exit door. When they stop people, they look for items and may also you about what you are carrying. In to ensuring that you are not prohibited goods, there are some other important rules that you follow. These are: ‧ Never carry for anyone else. ‧ Make sure that the duty and tax have been paid on that you are bringing in. There are various reasons why you may be stopped when going Customs. This can happen if: ‧ you are a lot of extra luggage, ‧ you have a lot of cash with you, ‧ you are flying in from a place where drugs are easy to obtain, such as Amsterdam, ‧ you are extremely nervous when you pass through. If you are stopped, you should wit
