大家在听写的过程中,总是反应还没写完一句话,就已经忘记要写什么了。大家可以采用首字母记录的方式,听后补全。

答案和解析来啦:

Life is precious and we only get one shot at it.
生命宝贵且人生只有一次。

Nevertheless, a lot of people spend their life merely passing the time rather than making the most of the short time they have left.
尽管如此,仍然有很多人虚度光阴,而不是最大化利用这短短的余生。

Young people are especially guilty of this—we are in the springtime of our lives.
年轻人对这此尤为愧疚——我们正值青春年少。

If ever there was a time to plant a tree, it’s now.
种一棵树的最佳时机,就是现在。

Yet most of us don’t do that.
但大多数人并没有做到。

Young people spend their time partying, eating junk food, and taking vacations
年轻人将时间花在聚会、吃垃圾食品和度假上,

rather than reading, building new skill sets, building healthy habits, and investing in themselves.
而不是阅读、学习新技能、培养健康习惯和投资自己上。

Are you merely passing the time instead of making the most of your one life?
你是否整天虚度光阴,而不是充分利用这只有一次的人生呢?

Here are some ways to tell.
下面将介绍一些辨别的方法。

If you spend a half hour to an hour poking around on your phone before getting out of bed, you are not making the most of your life.
如果你每天起床前,花掉半个小时到一个小时的时间玩手机,那你就没有充分利用自己的人生。

People who have a driving purpose in their life don’t spend time lounging around on their phone in bed.
有明确人生目标的人,不会将时间花在躺床上玩手机这件事情上。

Waking up is no big deal, just the start of another random day.
起床没什么大不了的,不过是平凡一天的开始。

To someone with a purpose, waking up every morning is a refreshing welcome to another day of hard yet meaningful work.
对有明确目标的人来说,每天早上醒来便是开启了新的一天,充满挑战但也意义重大的工作一天。

解析在这里哦!

1. precious,形容词,表示“珍贵的”,比如:Her family’s support is particularly precious to Josie. (家人的支持对乔茜尤为珍贵。)

2. springtime,名词,表示“春天、春季”,文中形容人,所以翻译为“青春年少”。

3. vacations,名词,单词原形为:vacation,表示“休假”,比如:They planned a late summer vacation in Europe. (他们计划了一个夏末在欧洲的休假。)

4. big deal,名词词组,表示“至关重要的事情”,比如:I felt the pressure on me, winning was such a big deal for the whole family. (我感到了身上的压力,取胜对全家人是这么至关重要的事。)

5. random,形容词,表示“随意的”,比如:random violence against innocent victims(对无辜受害者的随意攻击)。
