今天的句型很实用,让你把“爱”说出来!
Fall in love with…
我们都知道一见钟情可以说成是love at first sight,同样的意思如果用这个句型来表达,就可以说:
As soon as we met, we fell in love with each other.
我们刚一见面,就爱上对方了。
爱情就是这么奇妙,难怪俗语说Love is blind.(爱情是盲目的; 情人眼里出西施。)
其实,对某项事业或某件东西的喜爱程度很深,也可以说fall in love with that thing, Mia爱上了足球可以说fall in love with soccer,如果你特别钟情于某首歌,就可以说
I fell in love with this song when I first heard it.
我第一次听这首歌就爱上它了。
【世博语法小教室】
Led是lead的过去式,意思是to bring or show the way to (person or animal) by going in front。领头;带领;引导,牵引(人或动物)。
Guide和direct是它的近义词,那么它们有什么区别呢?今天我们讨论这个问题。
to lead is to show the way by going first, to guide is to show the way and explain things, and to direct is to explain to someone how to get to a place.
走在前面带路用lead ,边领路边讲解用guide ,向某人解释如何到某一地方去用direct。
看看下面的例子:
He led them down the mountain. 他带领他们下山。(他走在大家前面。)
She guided the tourists round the castle. 她引导旅游者参观了这座城堡。(她走在大家之中,边走边介绍。)
Could you direct me to the station, please? 请问到车站怎么走?(这个人并不行动,只是指点别人怎么做。)
如何猜测句子中生词的意思三
三 外部相关因素
外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。
例如: Husband:it‘s really cold out tonight. Wife: Sure it is. My hands are practically numb. How about lighting the furnace?
根据生活经验,天气寒冷时,手肯定是“冻僵的,冻得麻木的”。
The snake slithered through the grass.
根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识,我们可以推断出slither词义为“爬行”。
在猜测词义过程中,除了使用上面提到的一些技巧,我们还可以依靠构词方面的知识, 从生词本身猜测词义。
1. 根据前缀猜测词义
例如:He fell into a ditch and lay there, semiconscious, for a few minutes. 根据词根conscious(清醒的,有意识的),结合前缀semi(半,部分的,不完全的),我们便可猜出semiconscious词义“半清醒的,半昏迷的”。I‘m illiterate about such things. 词根literate 意为“有文化修养的,通晓的”,前缀il表示否定,因此illiterate指 “一窍不通,不知道的”。
2. 根据后缀猜测词义
例如:Insecticide is applied where it is needed. 后缀cide表示“杀...者,杀灭剂”,结合大家熟悉的词根insect(昆虫),不难猜出 insecticide意为“杀虫剂”。Then the vapor may change into droplets. 后缀let表示“小的”,词根drop指“滴,滴状物”。将两个意思结合起来,便可推断出droplet词义“小滴,微滴”。
3.根据复合词的各部分猜测词义
例如: Growing economic problems were highlighted by a slowdown in oil output. Hightlight或许是一个生词,但是分析该词结构后,就能推测出其含义。它是由 high (高的,强的)和light(光线)两部分组成,合在一起便是“以强光照射,使突出” 的意思。 Bullfight is very popular in Spain. Bull(公牛)和fight(打,搏斗)结合在一起,指一种在西班牙 颇为流行的体育运 动---斗牛。
综上所述,利用各种已知信息推测、判断词义是一项重要的阅读技巧。在实践中,我们可以灵活运用,综合运用上面提到的几种猜测技巧,排除生词的障碍,顺利理解文章的思想内容,提高阅读速度。
Man sentenced for fake bomb threats
A man who fabricated a terrorist threat against the Oriental Pearl TV Tower was sentenced to eight months in prison yesterday.
The Pudong New Area People's Court yesterday sentenced He Wanrong, 54, to prison for fabricating terroristic information. He had been receiving treatment in a mental health center and earlier had been detained for a false fire alarm and for stealing in a supermarket. On the night of April 11, he called the police hot line 110, saying that three men were placing bombs at the foot of the TV tower overlooking the Bund. More than 30 policemen hurried to the spot but found nothing. He was arrested the next morning.

卢浮宫的艺术珍品

32. If you're someone who aspires to something beyond the ordinary, you must have figured out by now that there will always be those who are jealous or resentful of your success. 如果你想不走寻常路,做出些非凡的成就,那你就要明白总有那么一些人会对你的成就心生嫉妒与怨恨。
33. It doesn't matter that you've worked long and hard to get where you are, nor that you've made great sacrifices in achieving your goals. The "haters" will always find a reason to criticize and even condemn you. 无论你工作有多努力,或者你做出了多大的牺牲才获得了现在的成就,那些“恨你的人”总能找到理由来批评你,甚至诋毁你。 They're spiteful people who begrudge you the pride you have in yourself and the recognition you're receiving from others. They can't stand it that you're happy, fulfilled and achieving your goals. 对你心生不满的人看不惯你对自我的肯定,也见不得你得到别人的认可。他们无法忍受你的快乐、满足和成功。
34. These hateful individuals are unwilling to do the work that you've done; they rarely make the same kinds of sacrifices or put in the long, hard hours. They resent your success but are too lazy or spoiled to invest real time or energy in the pursuit of their own goals.这些嫉恨你的人不愿意去做你所做过的事,不愿意同你一样做出牺牲,也不愿意花时间心血去工作,他们只是嫉妒你的成功,却永远懒得去花时间和力气去完成自己的目标。
35. It's true that we aren't always going to succeed in our ventures,even if we put in the time and effort. Results are never guaranteed and life has a way of throwing curve balls at us. 诚然,有时候即使我们付出了时间和努力,也未必能成功。谁也不能保证生活会是一帆风顺的,有时,它也会跟你打个擦边球。 I loved it when Tina Fey went up to collect her Golden Globe and held it high, saying, "This is for all the haters!" She's a good example of a talented, hard-working and successful person who's received an inordinate amount of negative press. Ms. Fey may be besieged by haters but she refuses to let them get to her.我喜欢蒂娜––-菲在金球奖领奖时说过的话,她把奖杯高高举起,说道,“感谢那些讨厌我的人!”蒂娜就是富有天赋、工作努力而且获得成功的好例子,同时,她也收到了无数负面抨击,但她从未让这些流言蜚语影响到自己。
36. The thing you need to know about these haters is that the only reason they behave this way is that you have something they want but they aren't willing to work for it.你只要记住:这些嫉恨你的人,他们讨厌你的唯一理由就是他们想得到你所得到的,却不愿意付出你所付出的。
37. The haters are convinced that you've been lucky or that you've had some unfair advantage but the truth is that your success is born of your untiring efforts, and it's these efforts that have brought about your "luck." 讨厌你的人总觉得你只不过是运气好而已,或者你走了后门,但事实是,你是通过自己的不懈努力才做出了成绩,这些努力才是你的“好运”所在。
38.The best way to deal with haters is what I call the "one-two punch."First, don't let them phase you. Be happy about your success and proud of your accomplishments. Let in the approval and the recognition from affirming, supportive people and never doubt that you deserve all this. The haters are angry, jealous people. What they think or say is ultimately meaningless.对付嫉恨你的人的最好办法就是下面这套“组合拳”。第一,别让他们影响到你。尽情地为自己取得的成功而感到高兴和自豪吧,和那些欣赏你、赞美你、支持你的人在一起,不要怀疑,这些是你应得的。讨厌你的人都是善妒易怒的人,别去管他们说了什么,无论他们说什么,都不重要。 Next, the more the haters harass you, the more you should be motivated to succeed. They want to undermine you but your response should be to work that much harder in order to increase your level of success. 第二,那些人越是欺负你、骚扰你,你就越要积极地去获得成功。对付那些贬损你的招数,你的回应就是更加努力工作,取得更大的成就。
39. When your reaction to their hostility has inspired you to achieve further success, you've transformed the haters' negativity into fuel for your creative fires. Not only can they not hurt you but they've inadvertently spurred you on to even greater heights. 你对待敌意的方式会激励你取得更大的成就,到时,嫉恨者的恶言恶语就会转变成熊熊烈火帮助你创造出更大的辉煌。这些欺负你的人再也伤不了你,反而会鞭策你更上一层楼。
