Day 1
Part I? Words and phrases
1. After a few weeks, I fizzle.
Fizzle:(1) to gradually end, often in a disappointing or weak way 逐漸終止,有始無終
e.g. I always make a promise for losing weight, but I fizzle after persistence on a few days.
(2) when sth, especially sth that is burning, fizzles, it makes a sound like a long 's' (火等)發(fā)出嘶嘶聲
e.g. The fire fizzle in the furnace.
2. I feel pressured and hassled all day.? Hassle: to annoy sb or cause them trouble, especially by asking them to do sth many times (不斷)煩擾,麻煩
e.g. The supervisor requires us to revise our paper format again and again, I really feel hassled.
3. I’m eating my heart out.Eat one’s heart out: (1) to grieve bitterly? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? (2) to be jealous
我認(rèn)為文章的中意思是第二種艇潭,前面提到看到親朋好友取得成就或得到認(rèn)可時,我表面上是微笑的衷心祝賀他們逊朽,但其實內(nèi)心嫉妒不已,很不是滋味晴圾。
e.g. I have this kind of feeling that every time when my roommates do something better than me such as gaining the first class scholarship, I smile and congratulate them enthusiastically, but inside, I’m eating my heart out. Fortunately, I am aware it and try to overcome this shortcoming.
4. My marriage has gone flat.
這里的has gone flat用得很形象妻熊,把“我”的婚姻形同虛設(shè),毫無意義都表現(xiàn)出來了冤荆。這讓我想到我最近學(xué)到的一個短語,也是描述婚姻關(guān)系的权纤,on the rocks,即a relationship or business that is on the rocks is having difficulties and is likely to fail soon祸憋。
e.g. His marriage is on the rocks.
5. He was doing poorly academically.?
這個句子我認(rèn)為是寫得漂亮地道的内地,當(dāng)說一個人學(xué)習(xí)不好的時候坯钦,我可能只會想到He does not do well in study, or he gets a low grade.所以這個句子讓我學(xué)習(xí)到新的更好的用法腺律。
Part 2 Thoughs
今天看完part one葵蒂,最大的感觸就是交播,單詞大部分都懂,可是就是不能很好的理解文章的內(nèi)容践付,不能內(nèi)化成自己的見解秦士,我能明白文章大部分內(nèi)容,但不深刻永高,也不透徹隧土。我想應(yīng)該多讀幾遍,好好體會命爬,自己平時習(xí)慣閱讀太快了曹傀,所以思維還跟不上翻書的速度,anyway, I will keep it up.
Part 3 Accumulating good sentence
There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living.
要好好思考自己想要什么樣的人生饲宛,是否是有意義的皆愉,正確的,能否給自己帶來無限的興趣與激情的艇抠,唯有這樣幕庐,才能活出卓越吧。
