t married next week. 大衛(wèi)所有的同班同學(xué)都困惑不解——沒有人想得出他怎么突然變成了優(yōu)等生。All of David’s classmates are pletely stumped—no one can work out how he became a top student overnight.Unit 2l、 獨立生活的能力對于任何一個成年人來說都是必不可少的,但真正的成熟遠遠不只是一整套的生存策略。The ability to fend for oneself is indispensable to any adult, but real maturity is more than just a set of survival strategies.你更注重個人的生活而不是學(xué)習(xí),難怪你的成績下降了。You’re giving more priority to your personal life than to your studies. No wonder your grades are suffering.美國的不少百萬富翁都至少擁有兩座房子和一架私人飛機。Quite a number of American millionaires own at least two houses and a private plane.沒有任何實際理由要保留為女性開門的那種習(xí)俗,更不用說保留“婦女和兒童優(yōu)先”的傳統(tǒng)了。There’s no practical reason to perpetuate the custom of opening doors for women, let alone the tradition of “women and children first.”Unit 4l、我們想提醒親愛的觀眾,敬請體諒他人,在晚上十點以后調(diào)低你的電視機音量。We’d like to remind our viewers to be considerate to your neighbors and keep your TVs turned down after 10 .順便說一句,琳達是個靦腆的人,在那么多的生人面前講話,她會感到不自然。Incidentally / By the way, Linda is a shy person who might feel uneasy about speaking in the presence of so many strangers.現(xiàn)在的年輕人變得老成,他們確信成就是以擁有多少財產(chǎn)來衡量的。Young people nowadays are growing up old, with the conviction that achievement is measured by how many possessions one owns.你現(xiàn)在必須馬上做的是填好在你來時給你的表格。What you need to do right now is to fill in the forms you were given when you arrived.Unit 7l、只要你喜歡你的業(yè)余愛好,那么你不必因為你自己水平一般而感到羞愧。別人怎么看你無關(guān)緊要。As long as you enjoy your hobby, you don’t have to feel ashamed of being mediocre at it. It doesn’t matter what others think of you.我們都需要不時地進行某種鍛煉來使自己保持身體健康。We all need some form of exercise every now and then to keep ourselves in good shape. 一兩年前他才開始學(xué)畫畫,所以技法還未達到專業(yè)水準(zhǔn)。你能給他指點指點嗎?He only took up painting a couple of years ago, so his technique isn’t up to professional standards. Can you gibe him some instruction?敬業(yè)當(dāng)然是好的,但你不能讓工作蠶食了你的全部休閑時間。Being mitted to your job is fine, of course, but you shouldn’t let work eat up all your leisure . 若不給自己設(shè)限,則人生中就沒有限制你發(fā)揮的藩籬。2. 若不是心寬似海,哪有人生風(fēng)平浪靜。在紛雜的塵世里,為自己留下一片純靜的心靈空間,不管是潮起潮落,也不管是陰晴圓缺,你都可以免去浮躁,義無反顧,勇往直前,輕松自如地走好人生路上的每一步3. 花一些時間,總會看清一些事。用一些事情,總會看清一些人。有時候覺得自己像個神經(jīng)病。既糾結(jié)了自己,又打擾了別人。努力過后,才知道許多事情,堅持堅持,就過來了。4. 歲月是無情的,假如你丟給它的是一片空白,它還給你的也是一片空白。歲月是有情的,假如你奉獻給她的是一些色彩,它奉獻給你的也是一些色彩。你必須努力,當(dāng)有一天驀然回首時,你的回憶里才會多一些色彩斑斕,少一些蒼白無力。只有你自己才能把歲月描畫成一幅難以忘懷的人生畫卷。學(xué)習(xí)參考
