開口ABC 之 挑戰(zhàn)保姆

字號:

First One: Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.
    Motivational speakers and books often point out that the main reason people do not realize their dreams or fail to achieve a goal is not physical but mental. When you believe in yourself and are willing to grow and change, as situations require, you have a much better chance of achieving your goals. Believe in yourself! Learning English isn't "a piece of cake", but you can do it if you're determined.
    世上無難事,只怕有心人。勵志的書和人物之類經(jīng)常認為如果有做不成的事情,只有一個原因,就是你放棄了。相信自己!每天起床,都對自己說:新的一天,我也是新的!我會成長,我會實現(xiàn)我的夢想。學英語確實不是舉手之勞,但也不是蜀道之難!相信自己只要意志堅定,肯定能學好!
    Second One: Have you ever been a babysitter?
    A job applicant's experience is becoming more important to employers every year. In today's competitive American job market, it often takes more than an academic degree to land a good job. Many new college graduates are rejected for positions because of a lack of experience.
    你做過保姆嗎?經(jīng)驗是一筆財富。超級大公司用人的時候,經(jīng)常把經(jīng)驗放在第一位。許多畢業(yè)生希望擠進知名的大公司,但是成功者寥寥無幾,原因就是如此:有什么學位不重要,重要的是你會干什么!
    Third One: Your baby will be safe with me.
    Something a babysitter should say to the employer to convince him/her not to worry. To many Americans, "baby" is considered a general term of affection and closeness. They may refer to pets, plants or even their car as their "baby".
    您孩子跟我會很安全的。這是保姆對雇主說的話,讓他們大可放心。對大多數(shù)美國人來說,“baby”不僅指的是嬰兒,而且是一個通用詞匯。他們可以把寵物,花花草草,甚至是愛車統(tǒng)統(tǒng)稱為“baby”。
