笨小孩口語廣播(45)不盡財(cái)源滾滾來

字號:

Two days ago, one of my senior high school classmates phoned me and wanted to borrow some money from me! You can hardly imagine how awkward I was at that time, because I am short this week!朋友打電話要借點(diǎn)錢,我很尷尬,因?yàn)槲覜]錢,這次我們來討論一個這方面的話題!
    1) I am short this week!我這個星期手頭很緊。
    Just now, in the introduction of our today's program, Andy has referred to this sentence:I am short this week! 在這個句子里面short=inadequate in,在某個方面不足,那么這里指short of money,沒有錢。
    We know money is not everything, but without money a lot of things can't be done!我們知道錢不是萬能的,It cannot buy the knowledge,time,energy,life,etc. 不過沒有錢也是很糟糕的事情,Andy就曾經(jīng)碰到過。I remembered when I was in college, once I found that I only had one yuan in my pocket and it was not enough to buy lunch! How awkward I was at that time. You can imagine. Fortunately, one of my best friends gave me a hand and lent me 100RMB.還好是朋友的幫忙,Andy可以度過難關(guān)!這位朋友的英文名字叫Catherine, 在此Andy要表示特別的感謝!Thank you indeed for your great help!
    2) He is so stingy!他小氣的很!
    我的這個朋友給我的幫助讓我十分感激,但是如果你碰到的是一個小氣鬼,那可就糟糕了,這里我們學(xué)習(xí)一個句子:He is so stingy! Here it shows that he loves money so much that he even doesn't want to lend any cents to others.那么Andy老師問一個問題,Do you think the person who is stingy is happy in his life? Maybe most of you will say no. I agree, for when he has refused others who may be his friend, he would feel uncomfortable in his inner heart.當(dāng)你拒絕了幫助別人的時候,你就在朋友當(dāng)中失去了信任,那么你不會快樂!
    所以我一定要再給大家另外一個詞匯,那就是generous,慷慨的。當(dāng)你高興的把自己的財(cái)富和別人分享的時候,你會感到快樂,同時你也會得到回報(bào)!Here my suggestion is: Be generous and don't be so stingy!
    Since we have talked about money, Andy hope you can have as much money as possible. But remember when you have enough money, don't be so stingy. If possible, please help those who are short of it.
