Lesson 6 听写内容
Lesson 6: Nothing Ventured ,Nothing Gained
Dialog: Lisa and Bill are talking about their future.
Lisa: What's your goal in life,Bill?
Bill: To fly in the sky,and to feel as free as a bird.
Lisa: That's easy.
Bill: What do you mean?
Lisa: Go bungee jumping.
Bill: You must be kidding.It's too dangrous.
Lisa: Well,nothing ventured,nothing gained.
Peter: And the last line happens to be the title of this dialog,'Nothing ventured,nothing gained'.Now please tell us something about this saying.First of all,please tell us the phrase,then later on,if possible,try to explain the structure of this particular saying.
Bruce: Okay.First let's talk about the meaning of "Nothing ventured,nothing gained".If we don't try to do things in our lives,we can't learn about life or about ourselves.Some people're afraid to try anything new,and they know how to do,
what they already know how to do,but they can't learn anything new.Some new things may hurt us,but some new things may help us,too. Growing up is a learning experience. So we often encourage our friends to try something and find out about it.Is it right for you?Is it suitable for you?You'll never know if you don't try it.So nothing ventured ,if you don't try anything,nothing gained ,you won't learn anything.So you can never gain any new ideas or experience.
Peter: Growing up is a learning experience.
Peter: You must have the guts to try something new.Now we have this word,Spell this word and tell us how to use this word.
Bruce: Guts,肠子,that's original meaning.But we also mean courage,when we say guts.For example,he doesn't have any guts means he's a coward,he's afraid to fight or to try something.Ur..if someone has no guts,then he has no courage.If you have no courage,then you are a coward.
Peter: He's cowardly.
Peter: Pluck up one's courage
Bruce: To pluck up one's courage means to make yourself feel brave even though you might feel cowardly.
Bruce: Mark finally plucked up his courage and asked Pearl for a date.Of course if it's a girl's name,要大写;if you talk about the beautiful stone we found in the shell,then it's not capitalized.
Peter: What's your plan for your future?
Peter: If you don't work hard now,you'll never be able to carve out a bright future.
Bruce: By going to school and studying hard, Sam carved out a good career for himself.
Bruce: He attained a fortune by writing a beautiful song.
Peter: To attain one's goal. Peter desires to be a musican.Petet,don't goof around, to attain your goal,you must study hard.
Bruce: We can also use 'reach one's goal'. Sarah reached her goal by graduating with a master's degree.
Peter: Fulfill one's goal.fulfil is ok.
Peter: My purpose is to see Marry.
Bruce: My plan is to learn english better.
Peter: I feel very happy whenever I see you ,Bruce.
Bruce: That's the first time you've ever said that,Peter.
Peter: Well,his words implies Peter's very mean,very sly,very bad.
Bruce: I feel as strong as a bull ,Peter looks as large as a bull.
Peter: However,Bruce's not as handsome as Peter.
Bruce: We have another 'as...as'expression,Peter,which our students should know.Peter and I are as busy as bees.
Peter: He's as busy as a bee.
Bruce: Take it easy.Don't worry,don't be nervous ,don't be unhappy.Take it easy.We can also use esy as an verb in this expression'easy come,easy go'.Well that's talking about me and money.It's easy for me to make money,and it's just as easy for me to spend the money.I can't seem to save any money.
Peter: What do you mean by laughing at me?
Bruce: What do you mean by calling me at midnight?
Peter: Well, I just want to say hello.
Bruce: I just want to say I love you. |
