  辽宁教育出版社于2003年1月出版了《王强口语》系列丛书,丛书共三册,并分别配有语音磁带,适合不同程度的英语学习者使用。以下是《王强口语》第二册第三课的口语部分描述篇。
  Beggars can't be choosers.

  Meaning: When a person has nothing, he or she must take whatever help is offered.汉语中意思接近的有:饥不择食;要饭的不能嫌饭馊。

  描述要点:展示一个非常糟糕的结果。进而描述之所以有这样一个结果是由于自己身处绝望的情境,在这一情境中自己根本没有任何选择的余地。

  Decide which of the two versions given below you think is the better one. Why?

  Version A

  I mean when a person has nothing, he or she must accept whatever help is offered.Tom could always get good remarks in exams with the help of his good friend Jack, a top student. But one day he failed in an exam. His mother criticized him. So he said sadly: "Jack was absent for his illness. Jim was the only one I could ask for help, who's a bad student. For 'beggars can't be choosers', I had to copy Jim's papers."

  Version B

  When you have nothing, you have to accept whatever help you can get.

  Because of his good friend Jack, an "A" student, Tom was always able to get good scores on his exams. But one day he failed one of his tests.When his mother scolded him, he had to sadly admit that because Jack was out sick, he had had to rely on Jim who was also a poor student. "For," he lamented, " 'Beggars can't be choosers' , and Jim was all the help I could get."

  注解:

  scold: to tell someone in an angry way that he or she has done something wrong or done a bad job责骂

  lament: to feel or show great sadness悲叹

  Exercise: Complete the proverb in English, and then illustrate the meaning of the proverb.(用英语完成下列谚语并用具体例子阐述它的意思。)

  Make 干草 while the sun shines: take advantage of an 机会 to do something when it's available.
