The Most Glorious Moment

Guidance for Reciting

Each one has his ups and downs. The sense of accomplishment does not lie in the moment of final success,but in the memory of approaching success.

The most glorious moment in your life

is not the so-called days of success,

but rather those days when out of dejection and despair

you feel rise in you a challenge to life,

and the promise of future accomplishment.

Notes

1.glorious [5glR:riEs] a. 光荣的;壮丽的;令人愉快的,极好的

2.dejection [di5dVekFEn] n. 沮丧,颓丧

最辉煌的时刻

诵读导言

人生总有起伏。成就感并不在于最后的成功时刻,而在于对成功道路的回忆。

人的一生中,

最为辉煌的时刻并不是功成名就的那些天,

而是从悲叹与绝望中产生对人生的挑战和

对未来辉煌的期盼的那些日子。

口语点津

口语中要特别注意下列这几个词的区分:

Dejection是“沮丧,泄气”的意思,例如:The loser sat slumped in dejection. 失败者垂头丧气地坐着,全身瘫软。

Rejection是“拒绝,被弃”的意思,例如:Her proposal met with continual rejections.她的建议一再遭到拒绝。

Objection是“反对,异议”的意思,例如:Nobody raised any objection to my doing it right now.没人反对我现在就做这件事。

Subjection是“征服(of),隶属(to)”的意思,例如:Women ought not to be in financial subjection to their husbands.妇女在经济上不应从属于丈夫。
