语言点讲解:
①A FRESH START= A new start 一切从头开始
②YOU'D BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE= 言下之意就是“What you do would have important consequences。”(你所做的至关重要)
③HARDSHIP= 极其艰难困苦
④A SINGLE THING WORTH FIGHTING FOR= 一件值得你为之奋斗的事。Worth后面加ing,表示某件事“有所值”
⑤OUR WHOLE OPERATION= All our operation. All和whole的意思相同,但是放在句子里的位置不同,且看下面的例句:
- All the city was destroyed = the whole city was destroyed。
- All my family lives in Barcelona = my whole family lives in Barcelona。
- All the population was against it = the whole of the population was against it。
⑥WE'RE ON THE BRINK OF A WAR= We're almost to the point of starting a war. (我们马上就要开战了)如果某件事is one the brink/verge to happen,那说明真的马上就要发生了
⑦I'LL SEE TO IT= 我会留意的
⑧AVATAR=“阿凡达(avatar)”这个词最初是指代印度教的神湿婆拜访地球时借用的不同肉身。如今我们也用avatar这个词指代网上聊天对话或是其他互动节目里使用的“视觉形象”
⑨D'YOU= 这种Do的缩写不用出现在正式的英文书写里,但是口语里十分常见。通常发音很像"joo" /dʒu:/
⑩THE STRONG PREY ON THE WEAK= the strong feed on the weak 弱肉强食的比喻说法
