Do you whistle（吹口哨） while you work, when you walk down the street, or when you are in a good mood? Some say that whistling is a lost art that brings to mind small town life and a simpler time. Whistling has also been a handy way to get the attention of pets, taxi drivers, and beautiful women walking down the street. While modern music may have overshadowed（使相形見絀，使失色） the simple charm of whistling, whistling contests are still heldand are taken very seriously.
If your whistling skills leave something to be desired, do not worry; you can learn. Start to whistle by putting two fingers in your mouth in a U-shape before blowing. After a while, you can move on to a fingerless method. Soon you will be whistling like nobodys business.
「讀書筆記」
當你在工作、在街上漫步或者在心情不錯的時候，（when you are in a good mood）會吹吹口哨嗎？
Mood是名詞，意思是心情,心境,情緒，它的用法有點特別，如果說心情好壞，一定要用介詞in，再加形容詞，最后是mood，比如：
Are you in a good mood today? （你今天心情好嗎？）
Hes always in a bad mood on Monday.（每逢周一他的心情都很壞。）
如果要表達有沒有心情做某事，就要這么說：sb. is（not） in the mood to do sth.比如：
I am not in the mood to argue.（我沒有心情爭辯。）
Hes in the mood to see a movie, so am I.（他想去看場電影，我也是。）
有人說吹口哨是個失傳的技藝，會讓人回想起小城鎮式的生活以及更為簡樸的日子。（a lost art that brings to mind small town life and a simpler time注意：that引導的定語從句修飾a lost art）
吹口哨還是一種引起寵物、出租車司機或街上美女注意的簡便方法。（Whistling has also been a handy way to get the attention of pets, taxi drivers, and beautiful women walking down the street）hand是手，handy就是手邊的、近便的如：
Is there a restaurant handy? （附近有飯店嗎?）
還可以指便利的;便于使用的如： A vacuum cleaner is a handy household tool.（吸塵器是一種使用方便的家庭用具。）
也許現代音樂已經使口哨的純樸魅力相形見絀，（While modern music may have overshadowed the simple charm of whistling）但是吹口哨比賽還在舉辦，而且人們還是認真對待它的。（whistling contests are still heldand are taken very seriously）
如果你吹口哨的技術還有待提高，（If your whistling skills leave something to be desired）那也不用擔心，你能學會。
Desire是愿望、渴望、欲望，但leave something to be desired是指令人不滿意，仍有缺點，要改進的意思，如：Her cooking leaves something to be desired.（她的烹調技術有待改進。）
吹氣前，先把兩根手指頭擺出U型放入口中。（Start to whistle by putting two fingers in your mouth in a U-shape before blowing.）練習一段時間以后，你就可以進展到不用手指的階段。（you can move on to a fingerless method）
move是移動，move on就是向前走，這里它的意義引申為情況的進展。
不久，你就可以吹得很好啦！（like nobodys business）
