学习英语的持久动力来源于明确的目标:一口地道流利的现代美国口语;卓著的口译和笔译能力;非凡的演讲能力;顺便为自己和国家创造财富并去帮助身边有需要的人!
学习外语的过程就是一个记忆的过程,而记忆的最大秘诀就是重复, 重复,再重复,也就是少吃多餐!而抱怨记忆差的人,往往就是那些只会说不会做的人!
all the better (更妙,更好了)
If
you go, all the better.
---------你去则更好。
all
out
此语有两个意思,一是指货物卖光了,又可以表示“力争上游”、“全力以赴”。
All out now,
come earlier tomorrow.
---------现在卖光了,明天早点来吧。
You must
go all out to win the game.
---------你们想赢得这场比赛,一定要全力以赴。
The
cock of the walk
If two cocks
are together in the same pen (called a walk) they’ll fight, the
strongest usually winning. From that, a person who thinks of him
as important or possessing power is described as the cock of the
walk.
我们若将两只雄鸡同关进一鸡栏里,他们便会打斗不停,直到强者得胜为止。从而,一个自认为重要,自以为权威的人,就被形容为The
cock of the walk。
Toe
the line
Simply stated,
to toe the line means to obey the rules and do what one is told.
“When I was young if I didn’t toe the line my parents punished me.
Now that I’m older I find that if I toe the line at work my chances
of a promotion are very good.”
Toe
the line是服从命令、严守规则的意思。这个成语来自田径赛跑,赛手将脚尖抵在起步线上站着。
