英语900句第16课笔记

Notes taken by Claire

 

I’m still in Beijing right now. I’m in outside. This afternoon, I just went to the best school in China。 They call it RDFZ, it’s pretty interesting. RDFZ is actually Ren Da Fu Zhong. So this afternoon I went RDFZ, and I gave a speech to like the entire junior 2. I had a great time because those kids are really cute, they are really lovely. To my surprise, 这些同学英语都很不错. I spoke English all the time. I was a little bit afraid they might not be able to understand, but it just went really well. Not a problem at all. So I think part of reason, they started their early training when they are pretty young, like 5 or 6 years old. 在未来会说英语不是一个优势了，而是一个必备的本领，看重的是你英语好不好，发音标不标准。It actually gives everyone a big challenge. We cannot lose to those younger generations.

678.  原句：If I had got enough money yesterday, I would have bought that tape.

扩展句：This house prices just goes up really rapidly. The house price has risen up/increased drastically. If I had known the house price would rise drastically, I would have tried everything I could to buy another one. If so/If in that case, I would have been a millionaire.

The best time to do something is when it can be done.

Do not delay.

扩展句：Looking back on it, I suddenly realized that I have been a stupid boy/silly girl since day one. How could I be so stupid? Because that’s who you are!

练习句：

If I had treated her nicer, she would have married me. 完全没希望。

If I treated her nicer, she would marry me. 希望不大。

If I treat her nicer, she will marry me. 有希望

 

总结：这种句型的用法不是看理论上常理上有没有可能，而是从时间上来判断，所以我们说如果我是他/她，从理论上我是男人怎么可能是女人呢，但是从时间上还是有可能的，所以我们用法就是if I were her. 而不是If I had been her.

Will 有希望

Life is like a show, you are gonna have your moment, you are gonna be standing on your stage, you are gonna have all the attention, you are gonna all the applause, you know, all the compliment, you are gonna have your own fans, everybody’s gonna have that moment which belongs to you. Maybe it’s 5 minutes, maybe it’s 5 years, or maybe it’s 50 years, but there’s one thing that’s for sure, everyone is going to have your moment, but before you enjoy the highlight of your life, you have to practice, you have to rehearse. Because it’s a show you have to rehearse, but the problem is you don’t have time to rehearse your life, because life is live. Every day is a new day. What’s a happy life? For example, Michael spent 2 years to realize what my life is really about. This is not what I want, so I quit and I go for it, something that I really have passion for.
