Understanding

Guidance for Reciting

Life is the first gift,love is the second,and understanding the third.

It's true that we have been leading a difficult life,for we need not only to be under various external pressures,but also to be in the face of internal perplexities. You would be affected by the warmth of life if someone gives you an understanding look during your bitter struggle. Even a mere glance would make you moved and inspired.

Notes

1.perplexity [pE5pleksiti] n. 困惑,混乱状态,使人困惑的事物

2.bitter [5bitE] a. 充满仇恨的;令人不快的;有苦味的

谅解

诵读导言

生命是第一个礼物,爱是第二个,谅解是第三个。

我们确实活得艰难,一要承受种种外部的压力,更要面对自己内心的困惑。在苦苦挣扎中,如果有人向你投以理解的目光,你会感到一种生命的暖意,或许仅有短暂的一瞥,就足以使你感奋不已。

口语点津

当别人遇到不好的事情时,身为朋友的你一定要表示一下安慰和同情。这些话用英语该怎么说呢?我们来看下面的例子。

1.- My cat passed away yesterday. 我的猫昨天死了。

- Oh really?I'm so sorry to hear that. 不是吧?真遗憾。

2.- I didn't get the job. 我没得到那份工作。

- Don't worry. It's their loss. 别丧气,那是他们的损失。

3.- I failed my driving test. 我驾照没考过。

- Never mind. Better luck next time. 没事,下次会通过的。

4.- I didn't get into the university I wanted. 我没被那所期盼已久的学校录取。

- Oh dear,I know you tried your best. 宝贝,我知道你已经尽力了。
