? ? My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, "Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!"

? ? ? ? - in spite of, “盡管”关带，同義詞：despite, notwithstanding, regardless of,i n the face of
? ? ? ? ? ? 1．despite（介詞）作“不管……的存在”或“雖然有……”解陵叽，如 I shall try again despite the difficulty。現(xiàn)在不很普通。in despite of 和 despite of 也有人用，都更不普通。?
? ??????????2．despite 比 in spite of 語氣輕。
? ? ? ? - take part in, "參加“
? ? ? ? - play, “劇本，戲劇”
? ? ? ? - this time, “這一次”诗良，這個詞組可以這樣使用。

練習(xí)感悟：
Answer: Not sure, maybe Jennifer refuses to grow up, and she is an?escapist. Because it is always "safe" (I use double quotation masks because it is not true safe, just imaginary) as a child. On the other hand, maybe she thinks herself as a young girl as always, so she can keep herself simple and pure, and can keep away from boring.?
Thoughts: 每日精進(jìn)就是確認(rèn)自己的朗讀首先自己挑不出問題了钥弯。
? ? 今天的文章讀到最后Jennifer說出“Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!"径荔，有的人的理解可能是覺得Jennifer的意思是作為成年人一定很糟糕，所以Jennifer選擇還是作為一個young girl吧脆霎。這么理解是沒錯的总处。而我想到了另一層意思，那就是成年人之間可以不必要詢問年齡睛蛛，如果都開始詢問年齡了鹦马，那這個成年人得多無聊boring啊，才去選擇年齡這個話題深入忆肾，這樣看的確是terrible荸频。
