300 Hurdles

① Life may give you a negative, but don't despair - it may just develop into a beautiful picture one day. This year, I realized my theory that I have on life. Life is like a 300m hurdle race. Since I run the 300m hurdles, I would know what the race is like.

② The first thing to any race is worrying about whether you are going to win or not. This relates to worrying about the petty things in life. Does it really matter if you win Is it really going to be the end of the world Or will you be upset if you lose and then forget about it (1)In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little. （承上总结句）

③ (2)Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes. We each start at different spots, but the race is still the same distance for everyone.（承上启下句） (3)This relates to our lives taking us to different places and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place, but maybe at different times.

④ Now comes the beginning of the race. We all try to keep up with everyone and pace ourselves with other people. (4)This symbolizes that at times in everyone's lives we worry, about fitting in or being the same as other people, instead of worrying about being unique. If everyone were the same, the world would be incredibly boring.

本部分重点及难点：

1. In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little. 生活中，我们担心得太多，而活在当下太少。

2. Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes.

接下来的一步就是在我们自己的跑道站好，也就是各就各位。

3. This relates to our lives taking us to different places and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place, but maybe at different times.

(1) relate to 涉及，有关

(2) taking us to different places和putting us in different situations的逻辑主语都是our lives，作relate to的宾语。(3) end up in the same place 在同一个地方结束，即有同样的结局

end up in prison / in debts

end up begging

end up as a beggar / prisoner

4. This symbolizes that at times in everyone's lives we worry, about fitting in or being the same as other people, instead of worrying about being unique.

(1) at times: sometimes

(2) fit in:合得来，适应

(3) instead of: rather than

⑤ Now comes the first hurdle. This hurdle is the easiest to get over because you are not worn out from running. We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizes those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so. You can look at that hurdle in two ways: "I can't make it over, I'm too tired" or "I am one more hurdle closer to finishing this race". This is an example of taking a negative situation and seeing something positive in it.（承上句）

⑥The next part of the race is every hurdle between the first and last one. （主题句）These hurdles get tougher and tougher and you may feel as though you can't go on. This happens a lot in life too.（承上启下句）There may be a situation that arises where you feel as though you can't make it and all you can think about is giving up. You may fall over that "hurdle" or struggle getting over it, but somehow you find it in yourself to jump over it and move on with the race.

⑦ Next is that last 100m of the race. You feel as though you just want to say, "No I can't do this." (5)Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.

本部分重点及难点：

5. Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.

(1) find it in yourself that you can do it，it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是that从句。

(2) you must finish the race stronger than…，stronger是主语的补语，说明主语的状态。例如：

He died young / poor.

名词也可以作主语的补语，说明主语的状态。例如：

He died a beggar.

She came from her marriage a stronger person.

⑧Now lastly is the last hurdle. This hurdle is the toughest out of all of them.(6)In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we feel like we have been through enough and there's no hope.That last hurdle symbolizes these situations.（承上句）It's one step close to the end of the race.

⑨ Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, but step by step. (7) "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch."

本部分重点及难点：

6. In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we feel like we have been through enough and there's no hope.

生活中，我们发现自己不断跌倒，为种种问题所困扰，感觉自己历经重重磨难，仍然看不到希望。

(1) find oneself falling and falling，现在分词作宾补。（可参考Unit 7, Text A）再如：

When he came to, he found himself lying in hospital.

He found himself surrounded by several boys.

(2) be through 经过，历经；完成，结束（可参考Unit 5, Text B）7. "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch."

一码一码地，生活很困难。但是一英寸一英寸地来，生活只是小菜一碟。即生活中我们要一步一个脚印，循序渐进。（注：1 yard= meter, 1 inch= centimeters）

⑩ (8)All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time. 本部分重点及难点：

8. All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.

(1) all=all that=what

(2) at a time: separately一次，依次，每次

Take the pills two at a time.

区分：at one time: formerly一度，从前

At one time I used to go skiing every winter.

请认真答题，答题结果将记入知识点测评的成绩！

【单选题】19. Shenzhen was a small village ______.

A． a time

B． one time

C． at a time

D． at one time

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查at one time和at a time的区别。at one time 意为"曾经，一度"，at a time意为"一次，每次"，故选D。本句的意思是"深圳曾经是个小渔村。"

【知识点】at one time和at a time的区别

confused potential likely

known potential

called upon natural

Gifts are those talents and abilities that flow almost effortlessly from us. Gifts are sometimes 1 confused with skills. While skills can be developed, gifts are something we are born with - they are what we discover as we try new things and find that some things are as2 natural to us as breathing. When we 3intentionally make a decision to create our life and work based on our gifts, we're not only more 4 likely to succeed, but can also more thoroughly enjoy the journey toward creating and realizing our full 5 potential .

Take inventory of（评估） your life to determine where you are utilizing learned and developed skills 6 as opposed to expressing and honoring your innate（与生俱来的）gifts. Are you operating based on what you think you "ought" to be doing or are you living an authentic life that is rich and fulfilling？

山东自考英语二课文翻译

Unit 1 Text A How Difficult Is English? 英语有多难 Like the national push for Asian literacy （n.有文化，有教养，有读写能力）in Australia，就如澳大利亚在全国推行学亚洲语言一样，there has been foreign languages fervor[f??v?] in China，中国也掀起一股外语热，with English on top of the list. 在这股热潮中，英语高居榜首。English is not only taught at schools，colleges and universities，but also at evening classes，on radio and TV．不仅各级学校教英语，夜校、电台、电视台也都设有英语课程。Parents hire private tutors for their school children；父母为学龄的孩子聘请英语家教，adult English learners would sacrifice the weekend at an English corner in a public park practicing their spoken English with peop1e of the same interest and determination. 成年英语学习者会牺牲周末休息日，到公园参加英语角，与志趣相投的英语学习者练习口语。Is English such a difficult language that it really demands people to invest a large amount of time and energy before it is mastered ? 英语真的有这么难，需要人们投入大量的时间和精力才能掌握吗? The answer，if I am asked to offer，is undoubtedly，yes．如果我被问及这个问题，那么毫无疑问，我的答案是：是的。From my personal experience, 从我个人的经验来看，I think learning English means far more than learning its pronunciation，its grammatical rules，its words，etc．英语学习不仅仅是学习英语发音、语法规则、词汇等，It involves learning everything about the countries where it is used and the people who use it．它包括学习与使用该语言的国家和民族有关的所有内容。Without such a complete understanding of the language, 对英语没有这样全面的理解，the English a foreigner speaks will inevitably sound strange or even unintelligible though there is not anything wrong with his pronunciation，sentence structure and the words he uses．即使发音、句子结构、措辞毫无错误，一个外国人所讲的英语也难免听起来稀奇古怪甚至难以理解。The social customs and habits of the English-speaking people contribute a lot to the difficulty a foreigner has in learning it．讲英语民族者的社会风俗习惯增加了外国人学习英语的难度。Take the Chinese English learners for example．以学英语的中国人为例，" Hello "and "Good morning" may sound a little bit simple to Chinese people．"你好"和"早上好"是非常简单的。It is totally beyond the understanding of a Chinese English learner that native English speakers would be annoyed when they're addressed "Where are you going?"，which is a commonly used addressing among the Chinese．"你去哪儿?"是中国人常用的问候语，若英语母语者被问及"你去哪儿?"，他们会因此感到不悦，这一点让中国的英语学习者大为不解。Is there anything wrong with the English sentence structure ? 这个英语句子结构不对吗? Of course not．当然不是。It takes quite some time for a Chinese English learner to understand the western concept of privacy being violated in this address. 学英语的中国人得费点儿时间才能理解这一问候语侵犯了西方人的隐私。By the same token，同样，"Have you eaten?"(which is another addressing term the Chinese people usually use)will sound to native English speakers that the Chinese are so hospitable that they invite people to meals off-handedly. 英语母语者听到"你吃了吗?"(中国人常用的另外一个问候语)，会觉得中国人非常好客，会在事先毫无准备的情况下请人吃饭。Meanwhile，the Chinese would be shocked to hear，"Oh，it's very nice of you．When?"，if the addressee happens to have a craving for Chinese cooking and has not had his dinner yet.如果听话者此刻正希望品尝一下中国美食，又碰巧没有吃饭，他会回答"太好了，什么时候?"，中国人为此也会大吃一惊。 "We can say we are going to have chicken for dinner．Why can't we say pig，bull or sheep for dinner instead of pork，beef or mutton?" Chinese English learners may raise such questions．中国的英语学习者可能会这样问："我们可以说吃鸡，为什么不能说吃猪、吃牛、吃羊，而要说吃猪肉、牛肉、羊肉呢?"Figuring out the reasons for the peculiar English vocabulary is no easy task for Chinese English learners．对学习英语的中国人来说，为这些特殊的英语词汇找出理由并非易事。But the problem is that memorizing English words mechanically would be devastating and inefficient if they did not know what had happened in British history．问题在于如果不懂英国历史，死记硬背英语单词毫无效率。Thus learning English(and other languages as well)involves learning the history of the countries where it is spoken．所以说，学英语(其他语言亦如此)还包括学习使用该语言国家的历史知识。A task of this kind is more difficult for Chinese English learners than for people who speak
