在十三章中多看了一眼的句子：
1.in a way,that the sacrifices of one generation should so cancel out those of another.
如今一代人竟会以自己的牺牲去把另一代人的牺牲一笔勾销。
should：在这里should表示惊讶，should在朗文字典中的其中一项释义为：used to show that you were surprised when you saw a particular thing, when a particular person appeared etc
例句：Just at that moment, who should walk in but old Jim himself.
cancel out：句中表示抵消，释义为：if two things cancel each other out, they are equally important and have an opposite effect to each other, so that neither one has any effect
例句：The losses in our overseas division have cancelled out the profits made in the home market.
2.you'd help to hold things together if there were any danger of them flying to bits.
fly to bits意为分散成碎片，引申为崩溃瓦解
课堂笔记：
1.better himself：better做动词，提高自己
2.decent：体面的、不错的
还可以用于形容数量多：a decent number of people
3.take something to heart：往心里去了，与have an effect同义
4.读传记时可以自己列一个时间表
chronology 按时间编顺序的
chronically 慢性的
chronically ill慢性病
chronically underfunded长期资金不足
5.you are five years my junior=you're five years younger than me.你比我小五岁
6.dine：进餐
dine with someone 比较正式的说法
dine and dash 吃霸王餐
7.know all the ropes：知道怎么回事，约等于how it works
刚加入一家公司，想表达正在学习一些规矩，可以说：I’m learning the ropes.
语音点：
1.sympathetic/sɪmpə'θetɪk/
2.1913/θɜː'tiːn/重音在后面 sixty-five同样five重读
✳️自己的问题：语调太平，需要更多代入感。
