本课您将学到:表达担心,it is a different story的用法,形容词的后缀-ness
你曾经是个害羞的小姑娘/小男孩吗?和异性朋友讲话就会脸红、结巴,不敢直视对方的眼睛,手脚不知如何摆放,傻傻的,却很可爱。不过,如果你已成年,还是会有如此表现,恐怕就不会那么受人欢迎了。
那么害羞的人该如何自处呢?别担心,有这种困扰的人,不只你一个!
Scientific studies show that forty to fifty percent of American suffer from shyness.
不会吧,美国人给人的印象通常都很随意很自信的嘛!
Many shy people seem confident(自信的) in social situations, but on the inside it is a different story. People may look calm(镇静的) while their stomachs are churning(剧烈搅动), their hearts are pounding(剧烈跳动), and their minds are full of negative(消极的) thoughts. Most shy people feel inadequate(不够格的) and worry about what others think of them.
也许,一个控制害羞情绪的好办法就是不断的告诉自己走别人的路,让自己去说吧!(蔡明语)
「读书笔记」
percent前面加上具体的基数词,表示百分之多少,百分之三十就是30 percent,而表示从百分之多少到百分之多少,要用介词to,forty to fifty percent就是百分之四十到五十。也就是说几乎一半的美国人患有(suffer from)害羞的毛病,Oh my goodness!
其实,suffer这个词用得有点言重了,它通常表示遭遇了重大痛苦祸患有严重疾病,因为是不及物动词,用from来接宾语。下面有两个句子可以帮大家体会一下:
He suffered from poverty all his life.他一生受贫穷之苦。
My father suffers from high blood pressure.我父亲有高血压。
另外,当不想强调痛苦的来源时,也可以不接宾语,They suffered a great deal in those days.那时他们吃了不少苦。(回想学习英语的过程,当年那些昏天黑地的日子不胜唏嘘啊!)
读到这里,你可能会说:It seems Im not alone! 不错,尽管大部分美国人seem confident,其实在心里(on the inside),他们的感受截然不同(it is a different story)。
人们可能看起来很冷静,而胃肠却翻腾纠结,心脏狂跳不已,脑子里也充满了消极的想法。这种情况怎么可能的呢?说说我的经历吧!我刚参加工作的时候,很希望得到别人的认同,许多时候就急于发表自己的见解。表面看来我很镇静,充满自信,其实每说一句话都要观察一下对方的脸色,心里紧张极了,每次和别人谈过话都要检讨自己,是不是说错了什么?我虽然没觉得自己不如别人(inadequate),可我的确非常在意别人对我的看法(worry about what others think of them)。
生活中,你会担心些什么呢?
Be anxious about
I am anxious about my childrens health.我为孩子的健康状况担心。(可怜天下父母心啊!)
To feel concern about
He felt concerned about her safety.他担心她的安全
其实,担心并不能阻止恶运降临,只能增加我们心灵上的负担,所以,劝大家:
Dont worry about anything, take it easy.别担心,轻松一点。
「句型留言板」
it is a different story截然不同
They look like the same on the outside, but on the inside, it is a different story.她俩外表看来差不多,可内心却截然不同。(所谓人不可貌相嘛!)
就是同一个人,也会因为时间推移而发生变化的:
I saw my first lover last night, we talked and laughed like we used to, however, I felt it is a different story.昨晚我遇到初恋情人了,我们像过去一样有说有笑,可我的感觉却截然不同。
「语法小教室」
今天为大家介绍形容词的后缀-ness
-ness加在形容词后构成抽象名词,表示性质,状态,如:
tender柔软的,温柔的tenderness柔软、温和、亲切,
hard硬的hardness坚硬,
thick厚的thickness厚度,
cold冷的coldness寒冷,
dark暗的darkness 黑暗,
bright亮的brightness明亮。
还有许多抽象名词,也是这样转化而来的,以后多留意哦。
