Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done.

语音讲解：

今日发音练习重点：

1. measure /ʒ/

2. done 不是“当”或“但”

言之有物：

1. 祈使语气的句子，无主语。表示命令或建议。

谓语 measure verb. 测量、估量

until后引导从句

从句一: the day's out一天结束

从名二: labor done工作完成。因为从句一有is, 所以labor与done之间的is被省略。

Measure not...=Don't measure...

动词+not...until

类比造句：

不要等到每件事情都完美了才做。

Don't wait until everything is perfect.

Wait not until everything is perfect.

类比造句：

2. 词链儿：The day is out. =The day is over.

out 更侧重表“用尽”

over则侧重表“过去”
