"But sapphire is to glass what steel is to blancmange.
The only thing that scratches it is a diamond."

"You need to be part of an ecosystem.

"Vertu will never be at the bleeding edge of technology," he said.

"It has to be about relevant technology and craftsmanship - it's not a disposable product."

"We don't make massive numbers of phones and the price point is reflective of that," said Mr Oosting.

Each device is assembled by hand. The name and signature of the person who assembled the phone is laser inscribed onto the inside lid of the SIM card holder.

Vertu handsets can only be purchased in 500 retail outlets, 70 of which are the company's own boutiques, around the world.

Each device has a "concierge" button that connects the caller with a global team who can provide localised advice and help with events and restaurant bookings.

Weighing 180g (6oz), the Vertu Ti is heavier than most current generation smartphones - the Samsung Galaxy S3 weighs 118g and the iPhone 5 is 112g.

One reason for this is that it has been designed for intense durability. One handset - and its screen - remained intact and working after being accidentally run over by a delivery truck.

아침에 출근할 때 EBS영어에서 들은 것.

EBS 방송에서 영어하고 책읽어 주는 것등이 매우 신선하게 다가온다.
쉽기도 하고 교양을 얻기도 하고 교훈을 얻기도 한다.
꾸준히 듣고 싶고 생각날 때마다 메모를 할 예정이다.

어제는 모파상의 두 친구라는 소설을 읽어 주었는데 마지막 부분이었다.
2명의 친구가 전쟁의 한가운데 호수에서 낚시를 하다가 프러시아 군에 잡혀서 총살을 당하는 장면이었다. 날씨도 아주 좋았고 고기도 많이 잡혔는데 햇볕에 물고기의 비늘이 유난히도  반짝 거렸다고 했다.
프러시아 장교가 그들을 덤덤히 총살시키고 그 두친구가 잡은 물고기를 가져가서 빨리 구이를 해오라고 부하에게 명령한다. 웃으면서.
죽은 두 친구는 발에 돌을 매달아 호수에 버려진다.
가슴팍에 총을 맞은 한명은 피가 분수처럼 솟구쳤다라고 표현되었다.

전쟁은 아내와, 딸과 어머니에게 지울 수 없는 상처를 남긴다 라는 말이 가슴에 와 닿았다.
싸움은 진정 없을 수 있는 건가?

오늘도 출근하면서 ebs 라디오를 들었다.
입이 트이는 영어와 easy English를 들었는데 뒤에 들은 것이 더 기억에 오래 남았다.
해서 여기에 기억나는 것을 메모해보았다.

배움에 있어 무엇보다도 중요한 것은 꾸준히, 반복해서 하는 것인 것 같다.
오늘도 좋은 하루.

Gerunds.

I'll enjoy getting to know Sam's employees,.

Getting to know them is important.

Infinitives

We decided to discuss employee issues.

It is important to discuss employee issues.

A gerund is a verb form (V + "ing") that is used as a noun. A gerund can be the object of a verb or the subject of a sentence.
An infinitive ("to" + V) can also be used as a noun. An infinitive can be the object of a verb, but it is rarely used as a subject.

Adjective + Preposition + Gerund.

Erin is curious about working onsite.

          afraid of

          interested in 

Phrases with an adjective + preposition can be followed by a gerund.

        worry about

Phrases with a verb + preposition can also be followed by gerunds.

            finish

            quit

            discuss

      wanted

      expected

Other verbs can be followed by either gerunds or infinitives, and the meaning of the sentence stays the same.

Training employees is Beth's responsibility.

It is Beth's responsibility to train employees.

Gerunds are often subjects of a sentence. Infinitives are not usually subjects. Instead, "it" is often used as the subject, and the infinitive comes at the end of the sentence or clause.

Why did the two companies merge?

They merged to increase their market share.

To increase their market share.

Infinitives can be used to tell why something is done. "In order" can be used before the infinitive, but it is more common to use the infinitive alone, without "in order."
In spoken English, the question "Why?" can be answered with a phrase that begins with an infinitive, as in the second example.

	1.	I went to the copy room in order to copy the memo.
	2.	Bob insisted on waiting for Maria to arrive before we started the meeting.

Excuse me for interrupting, but... may I interject ?

The expressions on the left can be used with all the phrases on the right, depending on whether you want to add information, ask a question, or make a comment.

When you are interrupted, you can allow someone to speak by saying "sure," "of course," or "go ahead." If you are interrupted, but you want to finish your point, you can deny the interruption with "just a moment, please" or "may I finish, please?"

If I could finish what I was saying, it looks like the merger will be a success.

As I was saying, I want to announce that I will stay on as CEO.

	4.	Anita: I got a call from a reporter today who would not let me finish what I was saying. She just kept interr ... Mike: I'm sorry to interrupt, but a reporter from which publication?

	5.	Amy: I'm glad to hear that Universal has a positive attitude about the merger. Otherwise there might be layoffs and ...

	6.	Erin: We'll find out more after the meeting with Carmen. Amy: Excuse me for interrupting, but I'd like to ask a question. When is that meeting scheduled?
