名男人No.1:William Shakespeare莎士比亞)

討論話題:人生無常 愛情高于財(cái)富(材料選自《第十二夜》)

莎翁用《第十二夜》中的幾句話告訴我們,人生無常,愛情也是變幻無常的,尤其是傳說中的feeling……

1、The parts that fortune hath bestow'd upon her,(命運(yùn)所賦予她的一切,)
Tell her, I hold as giddily as fortune; (告訴她,那些財(cái)富都是虛無縹緲無常的;)

2、To die, even when they to perfection grow.(及時(shí)她們現(xiàn)在臻于完美,將來也是要死亡的。)

詞匯學(xué)習(xí):

giddily:眼花地;頭暈地;輕率地
例句:She swayed giddily across the dance floor.(她飛快地飄過舞池,看得人眼暈。)

名男人No.2Benjamin Franklin富蘭克林)

討論話題:努力生活 創(chuàng)造自我價(jià)值(材料選自《窮理查德年鑒》)

富蘭克林的時(shí)代,美國(guó)剛開始積累財(cái)富,人正處于一個(gè)全民努力,創(chuàng)業(yè),奮斗時(shí)期。他一生最真實(shí)的寫照是他自己所說過的一句話——“誠(chéng)實(shí)和勤勉,應(yīng)該成為你永久的伴侶?!?/p>

1、But dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of, as Poor Richard says. (你熱愛生命嗎?那就別浪費(fèi)時(shí)間,因?yàn)樯怯蓵r(shí)間組成的。)

2、God helps them that help themselves.(自助者天助之。)

詞匯學(xué)習(xí):

squander:浪費(fèi),揮霍
例如:to waste or squander extravagantly (奢侈無節(jié)制地浪費(fèi)或揮霍)

名男人No.3:Henry David Thoreau(梭羅)

討論話題:我們?cè)诶速M(fèi)生命嗎,我們?yōu)槭裁礃用β担?/p>

梭羅的時(shí)代,人們的物質(zhì)生活已經(jīng)有了一定的積累,所以才會(huì)有這么一個(gè)矯枉過正的過程。

Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life? We are determined to be starved before we are hungry. Men say that a stitch in time saves nine, and so they take a thousand stitches today to save nine tomorrow. (我們?yōu)槭裁匆畹媚敲创掖颐γ??在還沒感覺到饑餓之前我們就認(rèn)定自己會(huì)挨餓。人們常說及時(shí)一針頂九針,于是他們今天就補(bǔ)上個(gè)一千針以省去明天的九針。)

詞匯學(xué)習(xí):

be determined to do:下定決心做
例如:I'm determined to do it better this time.(我決心這次要做得更好。)

Mencius(孟子):??What I hate in your clever men is that they always distort things.(所惡于智者為其鑿也。)
