Every minute of my life is no longer meaningless as it was before, but has a positive meaning of goodness, with which I have the power to invest it.

语音讲解：

今日发音练习重点：

1. goodness不要发成“姑内”：good为松元音/ʊ/；ness包含单元音/ɪ/

2. to invest 连读带出/w/音

言之有物：

1. as it was before 像以前一样

词链儿：

as it is 像其原本这样

as it was 像以前那样

It's good enough as it is.

就像现在这样就很好。

The construction industry is no longer as depressed as it was.

建筑业不再像以往那样萧条了。

My stand on this is just the same as it was four years ago.

我对此事的立场与4年前的无异。

So let's leave it as it is.

所以咱们就这样吧。
