問題:Do you think it&`&s important to take some time off work or study and do some leisure activities?
Well yeah, definitely. I think that taking some time off from our normal occupation is absolutely essential in order to just, you know, recharge ourselves a little bit. I mean, we humans are not simply like cogs in a machine that can spin forever, and taking a break from our work or study can really help us stay healthy both, you know, physically and psychologically. Like, after an eight-hour shift in front of a computer, we can go to the gym and do some stretching or lift some weights in order to relax our muscles. Or we can simply chill at home and play with our cell phones for a whole day to ease our minds. Either way, I just don’t think that anybody can handle the high intensity work twenty-four seven, so having a break often is just, you know, like really necessary.
重點詞匯:
occupation n. 職業(yè) (由于該詞的詞根,學生也算是一種occupation)
recharge v. 再充電、修整 (源自于擬物的修辭手法)
cog n. 齒輪 (更常見的說法是gear)
shift n. 輪班、一段工作 (注意shift的這個定義和“改變”幾乎無關)
stretch v. 拉伸、活動筋骨 (這里指伸伸胳膊踢踢腿,不是拉我們的身體)
chill v. 放松、放空 (原用法是chill out,但經過演變,現(xiàn)可以省略out)
handle v. 應付、應對 (該詞原意為操作,在這里和deal with意思相近)
intensity n. 強度 (注意學習該詞的變型intensify,intense)
高分表達:
twenty-four seven 不間斷地 (時間狀語,表示每時每刻,適合用在句尾)
那么這就是我們今天所有的內容,今天講的Part3問題是,你是否覺得在工作或者學習之余花些時間去放松是重要的。
