create: 创造!创造!
Historically(从历史上讲), 人是怎么来的始终是个issue(问题)。The evolutionary theory认为人是由猴子evolve来的,基督教则认为
Human beings, all other animals and plants were created by the God.
人,以及其它所有的动植物都由上帝创造。
Accordingly, they are all called creatures.
因此他们都被称为“creatures”。
上帝他老人家create这个世界之后,我们也拿create来做很多事:
create job opportunities 创造就业机会
create a plan 制定一个计划
create Project Hope 发起成立一个工程
注意:不要记什么“创造/制定/发起成立”,只需记住核心“使其存在”。
When it comes to China(写作句型哦),creativity has been a significant issue, for such people as YOS see the lack of creativity as a major problem, a great obstacle in the way of national revival.
说到中国,创造性已成为一个重要的问题,因为像老鞋这样的人将创造性的缺乏视为一个大问题,是民族复兴路上的一大障碍。
注意:see...as, issue与problem, great不一定是“伟大”。
We learn to get knowledge, so we know much; the Americans learn to be creative, or learn and keep creative, so they create many things.
我们学习是求知识,所以我们知道很多;美国人学习是为了有创造性,或者学习中保持了创造性,所以他们创造了很多东西。
degree: 程度、学位
To some degree, we are totally different people in terms of creativity.
在某种程度上,我们在创造性方面完全不是一类人。
To what degree have you mastered the subject?
你对这个学科把握到了什么程度?
What degree have you obtained, a bachelor's, master's, or Ph.D?
你获得了什么学位,是学士、硕士还是博士?
看出来了吧:“学位”不就是学到了什么“程度”吗?
