发布时间:2016-08-08 09:19:45 访问次数:1312次

If I cease to read the Beauty of Words for only one day, I feel kinda empty.

 

"And there you have the real answer to the question, "When is a man old?"

“一个人何时变老?”,从这类事例中对这个问题你已经有了真正的答案。


Laplace at seventy-eight died young. He was still unsatisfied, still sure that he had a lot to learn.


拉普拉斯78岁逝世时依然年轻。他依旧不满足,依旧感到许多东西要学。


As long as a man can keep himself in that attitude of mind, as long as he can look back on every year and say , "I grew," he is still young.

一个人,只要他能够保持这种心态,只要他在回首过去的一年时能够说“我在成长”,他就依然年轻。


The minute he ceases to grow, the minute he says to himself, "I know all that I need to know,"--that day youth stops. He may be twenty-five or seventy-five, it makes no difference. On that day he begins to be old.

他一旦停止成长,他一旦对自己说“我该懂的都懂了”,这个时候他的青春也就完了。他可能在25岁时死去,也可能在75岁时死去,这都没有区别。就在那一天,他开始变老。


难点讲解:

cease to 停止做

If I cease to read the Beauty of Words for only one day, I feel kinda empty.

当我停止一天不看美文, 我就觉得心里有点空空的。


I can't cease to go on a diet cause my wedding day is coming.

我不能停止节食因为我马上就要结婚了。


make no difference  没什么作用, 都一样

He still has no interst in me.  It makes no differene for me to go after him.

他还是对我没兴趣, 我追他没什么效果呀!


You overdid it. It makes no difference to explain.

你做得太过了,解释也没什么用。


make a difference in someone or in something  给某个人或事物带来显著地改变

My new haircut makes a quite difference in my career.

我的新发型给我的事业带来很大的变化。


Barbara’s reading makes a difference in my attitude towards English.

Barbara的阅读大大改变了我对英语的态度。


make a difference 也有创造不同的意思, 如果加to someone 的话可以意为“对某人有影响”

依稀记得奥普拉曾经说过一句话, 大概是她所有的努力都是为了想创造不同。

All my efforts are for making a difference.

I born to make a difference.

我为创造不同而生。


看那个视频到现在已经有很多年了, 我只想说: ''It really makes a difference to  me"


希望今天的英语美文也能make a difference to you.
