語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)講解：

①A FRESH START= A new start 一切從頭開(kāi)始

②YOU'D BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE= 言下之意就是“What you do would have important consequences.”（你所做的至關(guān)重要）

③HARDSHIP= 極其艱難困苦

④A SINGLE THING WORTH FIGHTING FOR= 一件值得你為之奮斗的事。Worth后面加ing，表示某件事“有所值”

⑤OUR WHOLE OPERATION= All our operation.?All和whole的意思相同，但是放在句子里的位置不同，且看下面的例句：

- All the city was destroyed = the whole city was destroyed.

- All my family lives in Barcelona = my whole family lives in Barcelona.

- All the population was against it = the whole of the population was against it.

⑥WE'RE ON THE BRINK OF A WAR= We're almost to the point of starting a war. （我們馬上就要開(kāi)戰(zhàn)了）如果某件事is one the brink/verge to happen，那說(shuō)明真的馬上就要發(fā)生了

⑦I'LL SEE TO IT= 我會(huì)留意的

⑧AVATAR=“阿凡達(dá)（avatar）”這個(gè)詞最初是指代印度教的神濕婆拜訪地球時(shí)借用的不同肉身。如今我們也用avatar這個(gè)詞指代網(wǎng)上聊天對(duì)話或是其他互動(dòng)節(jié)目里使用的“視覺(jué)形象”

⑨D'YOU= 這種Do的縮寫不用出現(xiàn)在正式的英文書寫里，但是口語(yǔ)里十分常見(jiàn)。通常發(fā)音很像"joo" /d?u:/

⑩THE STRONG PREY ON THE WEAK= the strong feed on the weak 弱肉強(qiáng)食的比喻說(shuō)法
