台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
It's not that we're ungrateful or shallow, rather that we absorb beauty quickly and then want to move on. Beauty is like a brilliant joke: we laugh, but don't need the comic element to be continuously replayed.
并非是我们不懂得感恩或是很肤浅,而是我们很快就能把眼前的美景消化掉,然后希望接着继续往下进行下去。美景就像是个很棒的笑话:这个笑话会让我们笑,但我们并不需要去不断回放那个笑点。
学习重点:
1.ungrateful 忘恩负义的
ungrateful (adj.) 忘恩负义的
grateful (adj.) 感恩的、感激的
2.absorb 吸收
absorb (v.) 吸收
observe (v.) 看到、观察
3.brilliant 极棒的

4.element 元素
