2020年12月10日星期四 祝福早安 天氣晴朗 氣溫8℃ 《每天讀點英文小故事》 昨天晚上十一點多我在中國教育考試網報名了高中英語教師資格證的面試，一個月後的今天1月9-10號考試，希望我還能好好學習一下英語。讓英語成爲我生命的一部分，讓英語成爲我的一種生活方式。每天讀點英語小故事，讓人生變得美好一點點。 The More Loving One 美文賞析 Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That, for all they care, I can go to hell， But on earth indiference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal afecton cannot be， Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give a damn， I can not, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day. Were all stars to disappear or die I should learn to look at an empty sky And feel its total dark sublime， Though this might take me a litle tme. 詞彙詳解 1.equal[ˈiːkwəl]adj.相等的；平等的vt.比得上；等於 典型例句 Women demand equal pay for equal work. 婦女要求同工同酬。 最常用法 be equal to　等於 equal in　在……方面相等的 聯想記憶 equally adv.相等地；同樣地；平等地 unequal adj.不相等的；不平等的；不勝任的 equality n.同等；平等 2.admirer[əd'maɪərə]n.愛慕者；讚賞者；欽佩者 典型例句 He was an admirer of her grandfather’s paintngs. 他是她祖父畫作的一個仰慕者。 聯想記憶 admiration n.欽佩；讚賞 3.learn[lɜːn]v.學會；學習；得知 典型例句 I learned this news from the newspaper. 我從報紙上得知這個消息。 最常用法 learn to do sth.學做某事 learn about　獲得，學得 learn from　向……學習；從……獲得 learn……by heart　記住…… learn the truth　瞭解真相 聯想記憶 learned adj.有學問的 study n.研究；學習　v.研究；學習 master vt.精通 參考閱讀 讓我們成爲更有愛心的人 仰望羣星的時分，我一清二楚， 儘管它們關懷備至，我亦有可能赴地府， 可是塵世間我們絲毫不必畏懼 人類或野獸的那份冷漠。 倘若羣星燃燒着關懷我們的激情， 我們卻無法回報，該作何感想？ 倘若無法產生同樣的感情， 讓我成爲更有愛心的人。 儘管我自視爲羣星的崇拜者， 它們滿不在乎， 現在我看羣星，我卻難以啓齒， 說我成天思念一顆星星。 倘若所有的星星消失或者消亡， 我應該學會仰望空蕩的天空， 同時感受天空一片漆黑的崇高， 雖然這樣可能要花費一點時間。 Love What You Do, Do What You Love 美文賞析 Life is short. Are you doing what you love?Are you living your passion? If not, why?I am guessing most people will answer that queston with“I have three kids to support.”In the real world people have responsibilites. They have to make sacrifces.You aren't supposed to be happy with your job but you do it because you have to.” With all due respect, they are wrong. You can take care of your responsibilites and be happy with your job.We spend over 1/3 of our day, at least fve days a week performing our jobs.This is a lot of tme to be wastng on something we don't enjoy, is it not?Why not spend that tme doing something you truly are passionate about for 50 hours a week instead of something that lacks meaning? I think there is one main reason people don't follow their passion：fear. Fear of how others will react, fear of failure, and fear that they can't do it themselves.I think the frst part is for people to realize that they can conquer their fear.You will fail at tmes and others will think you are crazy at tmes, but if you believe that you will succeed than you fnally will. I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now.But understand that there are other people out there who have been through what you are going through and can help you immensely.They have failed, been ridiculed, and come out on the other end extremely successful.They are living proof that you can do what you love. 詞彙詳解 1.love[lʌv]v.愛；熱愛；喜歡n.愛；熱愛；愛情；戀愛 典型例句 His love for science will never die. 他對科學的熱愛永不會消退。 最常用法 fall in love（with）愛上 聯想記憶 lovely adj.可愛的；令人愉快的；好看的 lover n.情人；愛好者 prefer vt.寧可；較喜歡 hate v.憎恨；厭惡；討厭　n.憎恨；厭惡 2.main[meɪn]adj.主要的；最重要的 典型例句 The teacher asked me to note down the main points of the speech. 老師要求我把演說的要點記下來。 最常用法 the main idea　主要的想法；大意 聯想記憶 mainly adv.主要地；大部分地 3.fail[feɪl]v.失敗；沒做成某事；缺少n.不及格；沒做成 典型例句 He never fails to write to his mother every week. 他從來沒有忘記每週給母親寫信。 最常用法 fail to do sth.未能做某事 fail in sth./doing sth.在……方面失敗了 fail in sth.缺乏某物 聯想記憶 failure n.失敗；失敗者 succeed v.成功 4.right[raɪt]adj.正確的；右邊的adv.正確地；恰恰，完全地n.權力；右邊 典型例句 She is the right girl for me；I need no one else. 她就是我要找的女孩，我不要其他人。 最常用法 all right　好；行 right now　立即 on the right　在右邊 聯想記憶 correct adj.正確的 wrong adj.錯誤的；有毛病的　adv.錯誤地 left adj.左邊的　adv.向左　n.左邊 參考閱讀 愛你所做，做你所愛 人生短暫。你所從事的是你熱愛的工作嗎？你生活在激情中嗎？ 如果不是，爲什麼？我猜想大部分都會以“我有三個孩子要養”之類的回答來搪塞這個問題。的確，在現實生活中，我們有自己的家庭責任，我們不得不做些犧牲，我們做着一些自己並不熱愛的工作只因我們必須這樣去做。 恕我直言，這一切並非正確。你可以兼顧你的責任，同時熱愛你的工作。我們一天中要花去1/3的時間，至少一個星期5天去工作。如果不熱愛這份工作，這確實是一筆很大的時間浪費，不是嗎？爲什麼不能用這寶貴的時間，一星期50個小時去做讓你激情洋溢的事情呢，而不是對你來說缺少意義的工作。 我認爲有些人之所以不去追求他們的夢想有一個主要的原因：恐懼。他們懼怕他人的指指點點，懼怕失敗，懼怕沒有能力完成他們的夢想。我認爲第一步人們應該去戰勝恐懼。有時我們會失敗，有時別人也會覺得你有些瘋狂，但只要你堅信你能夠成功，那麼你最終必將成功。 我理解這做起來並不容易。其實，我也正在克服追求我的夢想過程中的恐懼。但我們相信有些人已經從這個恐懼中堅強地走了出來，並願意幫助我們。他們曾經失敗過，被嘲笑過，但他們走向了勝利的彼岸。這些人的故事正是“你能做你所愛”的真實而有力的證據。 Do you like surprises? Sure, there are‘bad'surprises, like a sudden quiz given by your teacher or an unexpected bill. Those are no fun. But there are also nice surprises. Have you ever had a surprise party?Didn't it feel great to be surprised by all your friends and family?Especially when you thought they'd forgoten your birthday. Have you ever given someone a gift, and that person wasn't expectng it at all?What kind of look did that person have on his face?It probably looked like complete happiness. How about a surprise phone call? Right out of the blue…… Those are the best surprises. Have you ever called someone for no particular reason—just because you wanted to hear that person's voice or because you wanted to recall old tmes?Or because you wanted to say“Hi”. Those are some of the surprises that I like the most. A surprise like a party or a gif or a phone call that is unexpected somehow feels beter than you were expectng. I wonder why that is. I try to surprise my family sometmes. I bring my wife flowers or give something to my children. You should see the looks on their faces.And that makes me happy, too. You should surprise people. You'll probably make their day, and it might make your day, too. 詞彙詳解 1.sudden[ˈsʌdn]adj.突然的n.突發之事 典型例句 The sudden arrival of guests forced her to change her plans. 客人們的突然到來迫使她改變了計劃。 最常用法 all of a sudden　突然地 聯想記憶 suddenly adv.突然地 2.particular[pərˈtɪkjələr]adj.特定的；專指的；特殊的；特別的；挑剔 的n.詳情；細節 典型例句 I have nothing partcular to do this evening. 今晚我沒有什麼特殊的事要做。 最常用法 a particular customer　挑剔的顧客 be particular about　對……過於講究 in particular　尤其，特別 聯想記憶 particularly adv.特別；尤其；詳細地 especial adj.特別的；特殊的；特有的 special adj.特別的；特殊的；專門的 unique adj.獨特的；獨一無二的 3.voice[vɔɪs]n.聲音；嗓音；意見vt.表達 典型例句 The workers want a voice in management decisions. 工人要求在管理決策上有發言權。 最常用法 raise one’s voice　提高某人的說話聲調 give voice to　表示…… in a low voice　低聲地 in a quiet voice　平靜地（說） with one voice　異口同聲地，一致地 聯想記憶 sound n.聲音 noise n.嘈雜聲 4.look[lʊk]v.看；尋找；顯得n.看；樣子；臉色；表情 典型例句 He turned on the torch to look for his keys. 他打開了手電筒，尋找鑰匙。 最常用法 have a look　看一看 look after　照料；看管；目送；關注；找，尋求 look at　看，注視 look for　尋找；尋求；期待 look out　注意，留神 聯想記憶 see v.看見；明白；瞭解；經歷；設想　n.主教教區；主角 權限 watch v.注視；看守；觀看　n.手錶；監視；看守；值班 notice vt.注意；留心；通知　n.通知；注意；佈告 appearance n.出現；露面；外貌；外表；出場 expression n.表情；表示；表達；詞句；措辭；表現；擠壓 As you get older, it feels like tme tends to move faster. We tend to fall into familiar routnes as we age and that makes tme move quickly. We perceive time as something like a stack of memories, so the less new experiences you have, the less likely you are to fill in those memories with interestng things. Time does go by（or, more accurately, it feels as if tme is going by）more quickly, the older we get. In the frst few years of our lives, anything we sense or do is new, and many of our experiences are unique, so they remain frmly in our memories. But as the years go by, we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences—both because we have already accomplished a lot and because we become slaves to our daily routnes. What can we do about this?Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences, point out things we've never done, recommend dishes we've never tasted and suggest places we've never been. This could make our lives more varied, drive us to try new things, slow down the lesson of tme and increase our happiness. Untl such arrives, try to do at least one new thing every week. It's not too difcult to push yourself to do new things. 詞彙詳解 1.encourage[ɪnˈkʌrɪdʒ]vt.鼓勵；促進；支持 典型例句 Her success encouraged me to try the same thing. 她的成功鼓勵我嘗試做同樣的事。 最常用法 encourage sb.（to do sth.）鼓勵某人（做某事） 聯想記憶 courage n.勇氣；膽量 encouraging adj.令人鼓舞的 encouraged adj.被鼓勵的 encouragement n.鼓勵；激勵 discourage vt.使泄氣 2.point[pɔɪnt]n.觀點；重點；點；地點v.指；指向；朝向
