Smile

Guidance for Reciting

Smile at your wife,smile at your husband,smile at your children,smile at each other―it doesn't matter who it is―and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.

Smiles send us light in the darkness. Smiles bring us warm sunlight on a cold winter day. Smiles can break the ice. Smiles are like rainbows. Rainy days end and the sky is beautiful again.

Smiles show love and friendship. Teachers' smiles encourage us. Mothers' smiles warm us. Friends' smiles make us feel closer.

We welcome smiles from others. And we should give others our smiles too. No one is richer than a man who often smiles at others. If a man doesn't smile at you,just smile at him. Smiles help you forget your sadness. Life is a long road. Why not cover it with smiles?

微笑

诵读导言

正如泰瑞莎修女所说,“经常保持笑容,对你的另一半、你的孩子微笑,甚至对陌生人也不要吝惜你的微笑,因为小小的微笑就能大大增进人与人之间的感情。”

微笑在黑暗中给我们送来光明。微笑在寒冷的冬日带给我们温暖的阳光。微笑能打破坚冰。微笑犹如彩虹。雨天结束,天空重现美丽。

微笑体现着爱和友谊。老师的微笑激励着我们。母亲的微笑使我们感到温暖。朋友的微笑使我们更加亲密。

我们欢迎别人的微笑。我们也该向别人微笑。没有谁会比一个经常向别人微笑的人更富有。如果一个人没有对你微笑,就向他微笑吧。微笑让你忘却悲伤。生活之路很漫长。我们为什么不微笑着一直走下去呢?

口语点津

1.“break the ice”作为俗语是指:缓和紧张气氛,使在场的人放松一些。

2.“rainy day”就是下雨天。但是从16世纪开始,它就有了“困难、不幸”的意思,所以,save for a rainy day也就是“以备不时之需”的意思。
