Although there are oceans we must cross and mountains that we must climb, I know that every gain must have a loss, so pray that our loss is nothing but time.
语音讲解:
今日发音练习重点:
1. 句子语调:there are oceans we must cross↗/ and mountains that we must climb↘ ;
2. mountain 注意词内双元音和鼻音的衔接:/a?n/;
3. gain 注意词内双元音和鼻音的衔接:/e?n/;
4. 仔细听音频讲解,注意that的发音。
言之有物:
1. oceans (that) we must cross 必须要跨越的海洋
mountains that we must climb 必须要翻越的高山
*动词搭配:
cross the/an ocean 飘洋过海/跨越大洋
climb the/a mountain 翻越高山
You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
没有勇气离岸,就永远无法越过海洋。
There's no glory in climbing a mountain if all you want to do is to get to the top. It's experiencing the climb itself──in all its moments of revelation, heartbreak, and fatigue──that has to be the goal.
如果你想做的只是登上山顶,那爬山就没有什么荣耀可言。我们的目标是体验攀登过程本身──在攀登过程中所有的启示、心碎和疲惫的时刻。
2. 建议背诵:Every gain must have a loss.
有得必有失。
gain n. 好处;利益
loss n. 失去
The gains balance the losses.
得失相当。
拓展词链儿:One man's loss is another man's gain.
(A's loss is B's gain)
一人之失即是他人之得;此消彼长。
Our loss is their gain.
我们之所失即他们之所得。
My gain of the pie is your loss of the pie.
我得到的馅饼就是你失去的馅饼。
★原声例句:Because we were trained to believe that there always are winners and losers, and that your loss is my gain.
因为我们所受的教育让我们相信,世界上总有赢家和输家,你的损失就是我的收获。
★原声例句:The legal profession's loss, I think, is our tremendous gain.
我认为,法律行业的损失,恰恰是我们的巨大收获。
*同样表示“有得必有失”的表达:
You win some; you lose some.
Win a few; lose a few.
swings and roundabouts
There is no gain without a loss.
For every loss, there is a hidden gain. And for every gain, there is a hidden loss.
每一种损失背后都隐藏着一种收获。每一种收获,都有潜在的损失。
3. 词链儿:nothing but XX 只有;仅仅
= only
I want nothing but the best for my children.
我只想给我的孩子最好的一切。
活学活用:
请用 A's loss is B's gain 随意造句
