今天看的故事片段:
Johnson打算辞职,并且给Phil开出了两个条件:第一,让他成为Blue Ribbon的合伙人,第二增加工资。随后Phil和Bowerman讨论了下,Bowerman说了两个字:Fuck him,表示不同意。后来Johnson的父亲一起谈判,表示现在公司做的那么好的一个原因是因为自己儿子的帮忙。Phil回应到即使他愿意让Johnson成为股东,但49%的股份都在Bowerman那儿,因此Phil拒绝让Johnson成为合伙人,而每个月给他增加相应的工资。Johnson考虑到自己非常喜欢这份工作,因此最后决定留了下来。
1. 作者在自己的学校学到了人生的一课:不要告诉别人做什么,而是做什么,让他们自己为自己的结果感到惊喜吧。
One lesson I took from all my home-schooling about heroes was that they didn’t say much. None was a blabbermouth. None micromanaged. Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
很喜欢这句话里面的blabbermouth: someone who tells people about things that should be kept secret, 今天也看到另外个表达:tongue-tied (因为害羞和紧张)舌头打结
👉造句:I do not like her, because she is such a blabbermouth.
I do not know why I always get a little tongue-tied when I meet my boss.
2 I toyed with the idea of not giving Johnson my new address. But I did.
Eric在直播课堂里提到过toy with,再次看到 toy with 便觉得不那么陌生,toy with 表示随便对待,不是很认真地对待
👉造句:I toy with the idea of going to Italy to be an overseas volunteer
For a time i had toy with the notion of doing a PHD
3 作者希望以后可以在西海岸有自己的办公室,然后他说:
one day, maybe, in Japan. “Farfetched,” I wrote. “But it seems worth shooting for.”Phil Knight.
This last line was wholly truthful. It was worth shooting for.= aim for
shoot for,争取,为...而努力 endeavor to
👉造句:Learning a foreign language well can be a lifelong endeavor = learning a language well is worth shooting for
Eric's honest endeavors to improve our language skill
4 If Blue Ribbon went bust, I’d have no money, and I’d be crushed.
这句短小的话里,有许多值得学习的点,看到 went bust我首先想到的搭配是:go bankrupt. 2) have no money 让我想到昨天Eric分享的一个短语: but the man wasn't made money, 这人又不是钱造出来的。 3) I'd be crushed 我被压碎了?可以解释成我的心会碎,, 想到Eric昨天分享的短语:I was saddened 4)这句话里用了虚拟语气,其实在口语中,很少很少用虚拟语气,有时候即使在口语中用了虚拟语气,也是错误的。(与现在事实相反:if + S +Ved, S+should/would/might/could + do)
👉造句:if I did not have many dear friends around me, I'd be crushed.
5 I thought I loved to read; Johnson was next level.
很喜欢的一句话,这句话很简单,想到比较级时,我们会想到的单词是than, 但是可以直接用用but....is/was next level
👉 I think I love to travel, but May,a friend of mine, is next level.
I think I love to meet new friends, but she is next level.
读研究生阶段,我超级喜欢社交,但是我发现我有个朋友简直是社交达人,那么我可以说:
I think i love to socialize, but my friend, Sijia Tong, is next level.
阅读完shoe dog后,我一直纠结着是否要做做读书笔记,心想:按照计划每天阅读5%的量大约要花一个小时的时间,再加上笔记整理可能需要花出额外的一个小时来整理,这样下来每天需要花的时间至少两个小时以上,因此纠结了好久....后来我翻阅着几位朋友的读书笔记时,看着他们日常的读书笔记一下子被点燃了,心想:要不先写写看!当我边整理笔记,边查字典看看例句时,许多被我勾画的重点词汇因为造句而很快记住了,而且昨日Eric分享的方法我也正好运用到阅读以及整理笔记上。写完后,心想:昨天我还在自己的笔记写到,阅读原版书籍远远没有想象中的那么难,从0到1,行动起来,学英语,用英语!!但是今天第一次做读书笔记时,才让我真正的体会到0到1的这个跨度,如果一直空有奇想,而不实际做做的话永远不会发现到达1所给你带来的喜悦与快乐啦。
写完这篇读书笔记后,我的第二个收获是理论要和实践相结合,昨天Eric分享很多阅读原版书籍的方法和思路,可能在分享的那一个半小时,我和大家都打了许多的鸡血,也许上完直播后的那一天都有着鸡血,但是如果随着时间的消逝,自己不付诸行动,再打多少的鸡血也不能帮助自己,真庆幸今天就把Eric分享阅读原版书籍的方法和思路结合了实际, 感觉自己赚到啦 ~~Yeah !!!
最后,Eric的这句话:你读完后,你要想想你学到了什么,这句话依然在我的脑海里常绕着!是呀,学完后,问问自己学到了什么,别欺骗了自己!
