"Like it or not, today we are part of this larger world and must carry out our part,"
做学生就多考分,做成人就多挣钱,这样尊严才可以多一点。
——我离托福考试只剩15天。
周五早上好,今天过完,这一周又忽悠没了,希望我这一刻没有再睡觉,而是早起在跑步。
因为我都是头天文章写好文章,然后定时发送,所以昨天再早再晚今天都是固定七点,除非某天特别晚或者忘记了,一个月偶尔出现一次。
经过两周的训练——每天早中午尽量各做一组,我现在已经可以做55个俯卧撑了,看来继续保持的话一次做一百个指日可待。
但是早起这项任务还比较艰巨,看起来很简单,却总是会因其他事情而耽误,(比如刚才一时兴起看了个电影到零点,大概有三个月没看过了吧),时间一长就自然形成晚起的生物鈡了,即使想早点睡不玩手机也只能干瞪眼。
哦今天要说的不是这个,是我去了华中科技大学图书馆里读到的两本书,在那里从早上十点待到晚上七点,中餐一瓶水+两根香肠+一个梨解决了,临走时读了刘墉的两本书。
他算是我喜爱的作者中,排到前五吧,《我不是教你诈》是第二遍看了,《到世界上闯荡》这本书只是略微翻了下,认真读了十几篇,表示书名非常喜欢。
我觉得电子版书籍非常方便,大部分书籍是在鸠摩读书(https://www.jiumodiary.com/)这里下载到的,而碰到纸质版则是爱不释手了,一定会抽大块时间,恣意享受这份好时光。
好的观念太多,这也是为什么有那么多书籍的存在,每本书的厚底又比一篇文章多出几倍。这里分享三个短小的故事吧。
01 你无意,他多心
人是很敏感而易受伤害的,我最近才听一位女士抱怨,她的一个朋友到家里做客,上洗手间,都进去了,又突然跑出来,把放在沙发上的皮包提进去,生怕别人会偷他东西似的。
我说:“为什么不想,她要拿皮包里的化妆品去补妆呢?”
“可以啊!她要补妆,她可以先进去说要进去补妆,何必当着我的面,把皮包提走,屋里就我和他,我能不多心么?”那女士说。
她这话讲得一点都没错,为了避免别人多心,我们需要一些处事的技巧。有时候说一句乍听没什么“必要”的话,可以产生很好的效果。
02 说三道四要小心
又譬如你有两位朋友都在席间演讲,接着由你发言,就算你只赞赏其中一位,你又能从头到尾只表扬那个人,而绝口不提另一位么?
不是一就是一,当你赞美张三,却不理会李四的时候,给人的印象当然是你不欣赏李四。这时候,即使你只带上一句:“李四说的,我不内行,不敢评论,就专谈张三吧!”李四听在耳里,感觉就好多了。
03 该拿的就要拿
有一天,读到明朝袁了凡写的《了凡四训》,其中说到两个有关孔子的故事,终让我释怀。故事说:
鲁国的法律规定,如果有人肯出钱赎回被领过捉去做臣妾的百姓,政府都颁奖金。孔子的学生子贡,赎了人,却不接受奖金。孔子知道后就骂他说:“你错了!怎么可以只为自己高兴,博取虚名,就随意去做呢?现在鲁国大都是穷人,你开了恶例,使大家觉得赎人受赏是丢脸的事,以后还有谁赎得起人?从此赎人的风气,只怕要渐渐消失了!”
书里有说:
子路又一次救起溺水的人,那人送了一头牛为谢,子路收了。孔子听说后,则大加赞赏。
了凡先生写了一段很引人深思的话:
“若所行似善,而其结果足以害人,则似善而实非善,若所行虽然不善,而其结果有益于大众,则虽非善而实是善。”又说,“例如不应该的宽恕,过分的称赞别人,为守小信而误大事。宠爱小孩而养大患.....都亟待吾人冷静检讨改善。”
我发觉,其实中国的儒家思想,早就重视了“合理化”,只是后来许多人故意表现“私情”,故作有人情味的样子,或表示自己的宽宏大量,而造成“情理不分”。
上面引用原书刘墉作者的话完毕,我开始说说自己的看法。
第三故事和连岳昨天早上的请南京江宁警方向我道歉这篇文章,道理是一样的,我猜连叔这么写标题,也是要澄清中这个道理吧。
读书越多,越发现世间众人多数是糊涂的,颠倒黑白、逻辑不清、对错不认,不论是非、不求甚解,而慢慢读完连岳的书籍,认识到世界的冷漠,愈早愈有好处,毕竟大贤者如苏格拉底都被众判服毒。
可是人性中总会有光辉在闪耀着的,这让我们人类的道德底线不至于沉沦,因为那些大哲们也在慢慢传播好的思想。
有人问:如果他人不变,你不会失去耐心变得焦虑么?
当然不会,就是这个社会一百年后才变,也不必焦虑,我们爱的是自己,只要自己改变了,我的世界就改变了。
人人一把碳原子,都是相似的生活,拥有互爱的人,就变成了钻石,没爱的人,就是卖炭翁,炭贱天寒,慢慢冻僵在现实当中。
下面进入正题。

History also suggests this recipe would do little for the fortunes of those blue-collar workers whom Mr Trump pledge to shield from foreign competition。 Gains in real income between 1980 and 1988 were heavily skewed towards the richest.
recipe: a set of instructions for cooking or preparing a particular food
method, formula, prescription, procedure, process, technique
pledge: to promise seriously and publicly to do something
promise, assurance, covenant, oath, undertaking, vow, warrant, word
shield from: protect something, usually from being hit, touched, or seen

这个好用的句型需要一定的历史背景,用在反驳对方提出的方案中。
History suggests this recipe would do little for the ultimate fate of the endanger species.

Ruthless politicians often try to pin their own vices on their critics: anticorruption campaigners, for example, frequently find themselves accused of graft. So it has proved with North Carolina's Republicans..
graft: dishonest or illegal activities in politics or business that involve giving people money or advantages in exchange for their help or support
- - virtues and vices
- - friends and foes
- - wax and wane
这是三对好词,好东西当然要自己动手查字典才能真正得到,别人给的永远无法丰衣足食。
So 引导的句子属于倒装结构。
It has proved so with...
这个可以说是万能句型了,直接加上论点反驳对方,把自己的过错归咎于批评者,有点在不要脸的意思。
Supporters of the luck for succuss always try to pin their own vices into the unpredictable element of chance.

"Like it or not, today we are part of this larger world and must carry out our part," he said in testimony to the Senate armed services committee in 2015. "We cannot wait for problems to arrive here, or it will be too late; rather we must remain strongly engaged inthis complex world."
- - play our role
- - take our responsibility
- - carry our part
整段话说得太漂亮了!哦不,是写得,这么好的句子,简直是作文必备末尾句型,背下来放到武器库里带到考场上吧。
in testimony to: evidence that something exists or is true
proof, corroboration, demonstration, evidence, indication, manifestation, support, verification
In other words, 这是官方打太极必备,看来不是本国必备缓兵之计,所有的政府都有会说好话的技能。

The president-elect's first administration hires had all been middle-aged white men who had backed him to the hilt when others wrinkled their noses.

hilt: the handle of a sword or dagger
wrinkle: move part of your face, especially your nose, so that small lines appear on it

这三个短语都是通过面部表情来表示不满的意思
▁▂▃▅▆ ▊★/E〓
America has been revving up its efforts again a range of terrorist groups.
rev: if you rev an engine, or if it revs, you press the accelerator with your foot when the vehicle is not moving in order to make the engine operate faster
看到这个单词,第一眼感觉写过,然后扒了下文章,在析经济学人,习高分作文/06中第一个短语有
revive a decade-old target of ...
那就引用复习下吧。
Mindful that most of these jobs are far down the corporate totem pole, the government has also revived a decade-old target of having women occupy 30% of "leadership positions" by 2020. But it admits that this goal is nowhere near being met.
revive: become, or to make something become, active, successful, or popular again
这两个句型收下:
- - (You should be) mindful that....
- - .....nowhere near being met
然后来个例句:
- - Mindful that language skills are merely a repeation using the right method, everyone could revive a decade-long target of reading and listening daily. But actually, I have to say this goal is nowhere near being met.
今日总结:
【1】History also suggests this rescipe would do little for ...
【2】 try to pin their own vices on the critics
【3】Like it or not, today we are part of this larger world, and must carry out our part.
We cannot wait the problems to arrive here, or it will be too late; rather we must remain strongly engaged in
【4】wrinkle their noses
【5】rev up its effors aginst
