1這一周我有了一些新的想法亲轨，其實英語的閱讀部分最難的在于語法的理解杠步。生詞和短語搭配是可以查到的，但是語法就沒那么容易快速解決员帮。比如sea change或粮，這兩個詞都認(rèn)識，但是放在一起卻是“滄海桑田集侯，重大變化”的意思被啼。但是這句話‘Michelangelo would have had to be taught how not to’你搜索百度翻譯得出的機(jī)器翻譯很變扭。只能通過語法結(jié)構(gòu)來分析棠枉，would have had 虛擬語氣”更愿意 “浓体，后面的be taught how not to, 學(xué)會怎樣不.......所以這句話是說，米開朗琪羅更愿意學(xué)會不被人教一些教條的東西辈讶。
以后我會在分析文章的過程中找到那些比較難的語法點來說明解釋一下命浴。

A psychologist explains the limits of human compassion
同情心有限
Why do we ignore mass atrocities? It has to do with something called “psychic numbing.”
殘暴碍讯，暴行，殘忍的行為扯躺，精神的捉兴，麻木
By Brian Resnick
There are now 65.3 million people displaced from their homes worldwide, the United Nations reports.
displaced使背井離鄉(xiāng)，
It's an all-time high: likely the largest population of refugees and asylum seekers in human history.
所有時代里最高的录语，難民和尋求庇護(hù)的人
Think about that number: 65.3 million. Can you even imagine it? Like, really imagine it. When we see one life, we can imagine their hopes and pain. But 65million? You can't. That's just an abstraction. There's a hard limit to human compassion, and it's one of the most powerful psychological forces shaping human events.
I often report on political psychology. And in my conversations with scientists, I'll often ask: “What research helps you understand what's going on in the world?” The answer — whether it's pegged to the refugee crisis abroad or the health care debate at home — very often involves Paul Slovic.
限定話題在pegged（名詞是夾子的意思）
Slovic is a psychologist at the University of Oregon,and for decades he's been asking the question: Why does the world often ignore mass atrocities, mass
suffering?俄勒岡州
Slovic's work has shown that the human mind is not very good at thinking about, and empathizing with,millions or billions of individuals.
同情某人倍啥，感同身受，empathizing with
That's why it's not surprising six out of 10 Americans support a travel ban that, in part, bars refugees from entering America.
十個人中六個人澎埠，某種程度上虽缕，in part
That many lawmakers aren't horrified by the possibility of booting tens of millions from health insurance.
充滿恐懼，啟動蒲稳，猛踢
That the world looked on as millions died in war and genocide in Darfur. That we haven't really grappled as a nation with the opioid epidemic, which killed 33,000 in 2015.
種族滅絕氮趋，努力應(yīng)對，鴉片蔓延
When numbers simply can't convey the costs, there's an infuriating paradox at play.
表達(dá)convey江耀，憤怒的凭峡，infuriating
Slovic calls it “psychic numbing.” As the number of victims in a tragedy increases, our empathy, our willingness to help,reliably decreases. This happens even when the number of victims increases from one to two

Conquer Your Day with Mini-Missions
By Leo Babauta
You haven't been very productive lately, admit it.You've been watching too many videos, cruising your favorite social media, haven't exercised in too long … you're slipping, my friend.I've got the fix for you. Mini-missions.cruising游弋于，slipping失控决记，下滑Here's how it works:
- You set yourself a few mini-missions for the day. 設(shè)定set yourself ...For example: 1) Write Zen Habits post, 2) Workout, 3)Shoot video lesson for Sea Change Simplify Your Life course.重大變化，翻天覆地的變化倍踪，sea change系宫，
Ideally, they don't last for more than 15 minutes, but you could do mini-missions of 20-30 minutes if you're feeling strong.
Pick one mission, and get yourself ready. Stand up, stretch, move your body, psyche yourself up to conquer the mission. Play some pump-up music.
Clear your computer or work area. Dive in.Stay focused, power through, kick some butt.
Reward yourself when you're done. Raise your fist in victory, then allow yourself a treat. For example: you get to check your favorite social media or watch a Youtube video, or eat that cookie you've been craving after your workout.
You can repeat this several times each day, up to five times. If you accomplish five mini-missions in a day, that's amazing! Give yourself an extra reward. If it helps, tell someone about your next mission, ask them to hold you accountable.為你負(fù)責(zé)
But even without accountability, you can get yourself psyched up and focused on one mini-mission at a time. Why does this work? Because you're setting something accomplishable but important in front of yourself, and getting yourself motivated for 10-20 minutes. This is doable. And you're making it fun, playing a game, not making it drudgery.苦活
Play is an amazing way to get things done. If you can set yourself mini-missions every day, you're going to see some amazing results.OK, I'm done with this mini-mission, time for a cookie

Wild
By Cheryl Strayed
PROLOGUE 前言索昂，開場白
The trees were tall, but I was taller, standing above them on a steep mountain slope in northern California.陡坡斜面上
Moments before, I'd removed my hiking boots and the left one had fallen into those trees, first catapulting into the air when my enormous backpack toppled onto it, then skittering across the gravelly trail and flying over the edge.脫下登高鞋，removed my hiking boot 彈射出去catapulting龐大的背包落到地上backpack toppled飛掠過skittering across 砂礫小路 gravelly trail
It bounced off of a rocky several feet beneath mebefore disappearing into the forest canopy below, impossible to retrieve. bounced off 反彈outcropping巖石等的漏出地面的部分
I let out a stunned gasp, though I'd been in the wilderness thirty-eight days and by then I'd come to know that anything could happen and that everything would. 放出let out 驚呆的喘著氣 a stunned gasp
But that doesn't mean I wasn't shocked when it did. My boot was gone. Actually gone.
I clutched its mate to my chest like a baby, though of course it was futile.另一只（配偶）
What is one boot without the other boot? It is nothing. It is useless, an orphan forevermore, and I could take no mercy on it. 絲毫沒有同情
It was a big lug of a thing, of genuine heft, a brown leather Raichle boot with a red lace and silver metal fasts.用力拖lug 純用力舉起genuine heft牢牢固定fast
I lifted it high and threw it with all my might and watched it fall into the lush trees and out of my life. 茂盛的lush
I was alone. I was barefoot. I was twenty-six years old and an orphan too. An actual stray, a stranger had observed a couple of weeks before, when I'd told him my name and explained how very loose I was in the world.stray流浪的loose游蕩無家可歸
My father left my life when I was six. My mother died when I was twenty-two.
In the wake of her death, my stepfather morphed from the person I considered my dad into a man I only occasionally
recognized. 緊隨其后In the wake of變了人似的扩借，漸變morphed
My two siblings scattered in their grief, in spite of my efforts to hold us together, until I gave up and scattered as well.兄弟姐妹椒惨，siblings分散，scattered

Millennials ruining everything? It's an age-old accusation
By Dugan Arnett
If you've cracked a magazine or launched an Internet browser at any point in the past few years, you're no doubt familiar with the rash of anti-millennial
think-pieces, those pointed articles attempting to pin blame on the country's most despised generation for various perceived societal shortcomings.

What you might not know, however, is that such rants have been around for quite some time — as in,dating back to at least the 1300s.咆哮rants追溯到dating back to
In a recent piece for The Conversation, a website for the academic and research communities to share news and views, Boston College professor Eric
Weiskott points out that millennial bashing has actually been occurring in literature for hundreds of years.對千禧一代的詆毀millennial bashing
“There's [always been] rampant worry that society, as we knew it, was crumbling,” says Weiskott, an assistant professor of English who focuses on
Medieval literature. 瘋長的康谆，不停歇的，失控的rampant“
And that the people to blame for that were the youngest generation.”
Defined by Pew Research Center as those born after 1980, millennials have indeed been the target of some not-so-nice accusations, shouldering the blame for the alleged demise of — among a slew of other things — golf, running, napkins, soap, and marriage.

But take a peek back through the work of some medieval writers, Weiskott says, and you'll see them expressing the very kinds of sentiments about younger generations.回頭一瞥 take a peek back through 情緒沃暗，觀點sentiments

Art is useless, and so am I
By Derek Sivers
Art is useless by definition. If it was useful, it would be a tool.虛擬語氣
For the past 19 years, I was obsessed with being useful. 癡迷于be obsessed with
That one measure drove all of my daily decisions: “How can I be the most useful to the most people today?”一個辦法one measure 作為什么的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
It served me well, but it has its downsides.缺點何恶，負(fù)面
It kept me from playing, and doing things just for me.阻止孽锥；使免于；使…不keep from doing6） It's no coincidence that I stopped making music 19 years ago. 這絕不是巧合
It didn't qualify as the most useful thing I could be doing.不符合 那些本可以和有用的方法
At the end of 2016, I stopped answering questionsby email. It was like quitting a full-time job.I didn't mean to become useless. I just wanted a little more me-time.
I started seriously learning my first foreign language, immersing myself in it for many hours a day. 沉浸immersing sb in10）Totally useless to anyone else, but I love it. Now I realize why all my previous attempts to learn a language didn't happen. 嘗試
It was always low-priority under all of my useful goals.在有用的目標(biāo)面前细层，只是低優(yōu)先級惜辑。
I started playing music again, for the first time in 19 years. Not trying to be famous this time. No goals.No results. No care whether anyone else ever hears it or not. This is just for me. Just playing for its own sake, and loving it.為什么目的for its own sake
It's hard to relax into this mindset, after 19 years of the opposite.這種心態(tài)很難放松It's hard to relax into this mindset
It's such a luxury to not think about you, out there,and how you might value me.奢侈的
At the top of every page of my website, I used to have an elevator-pitch: a sentence saying how I might be useful to the stranger browsing my site.電梯游說elevator-pitch
But no more. I erased it last week.For the time being, I'm nobody's tool.在現(xiàn)階段
P.S. The “art is useless” idea comes from a conversation with Kevin Kelly. When he said it, I stopped in my tracks and disagreed, so I'm guessing you might, too.思路track
But let the idea sink in a bit, and notice that it doesn't say “worthless”. 沉淀一下 sink in a bit19）Art can be valuable, and someone might find a concrete use for it, but usefulness was not its purpose堅實的concrete，肯定有用疫赎。

Why Sitting at Your Computer All Day Can Wipe You
Out 徹底毀滅wipe out
By Katie Heaney
Like most days, I spent the bulk of yesterday sitting in what I've determined to be the breeziest corner of my apartment, typing on my laptop. 大塊時間bulk[b?lk] 通風(fēng)最好的breeziest角落
I filed a story, transcribed interviews for a few hours, and sent about half a million emails, but rarely got up from my
chair. 發(fā)送filed a story盛撑，transcribed 轉(zhuǎn)錄，改編
Still, by late afternoon, I wasn't just exhausted mentally, but physically, too — disproportionately so,it seemed, considering how little I'd moved. 不成比例地disproportionately
After briefly panicking that I'd fallen suddenly ill (blogging cancer?), I reached out to a couple of sleep and stress experts to tell me why it is that mental fatigue can feel so … physical.恐慌panicking伸出手求助reach out to
Certain forms of tiredness can often feel more “earned” than others.疲勞tiredness更像是自找的
I get being tired after a run, but after sending some emails? Come on. Yet Dr. Steven Feinsilver, the director of sleep medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital, stresses that mental fatigue is very much legitimate.腦力疲勞, 合理的
He explains that the human body reacts to stress in many of the same ways regardless of whether the source is mental, like a difficult math
problem, or physical, like running.不管是 還是 regardless of whether
“Your heart will pump and you'll produce adrenaline whether somebody's chasing you, or you're just really upset about something,” he said.腎上腺素adrenaline
Furthermore, the brain requires a disproportionately high amount of the
body's energy, accounting for about 20 percent of the oxygen consumed by the body. “占有accounting for
Your muscles normally aren't sucking a lot of oxygen out of you,” says Feinsilver. 吸出抽干suck out of you
“With exercise, they will. But the brain always takes a lot of your energy.” In other words, if you're conscious, your brain demands your energy, and lots of it.
Using your brain takes real,honest, physical work — it's just not visible to us the way using our muscles to exercise is.
