我是个音乐小能手,我既会弹钢琴又会拉小提琴,我从小家教森严,家人从不让我在外面过夜,是否感觉这是典型的亚裔女人呢?哈哈,这只不过一个玩笑!请看下面的演讲片段:

My name is Kanwen, and play both the piano and violin.I aspire to some day be a doctor , and my favorite subject is calculus.

我叫Kanwen,我会弹钢琴和小提琴。我期望有一天能成为一名大夫,我最喜欢了科目是微积分。

My mom and dad are tiger parents who won't let me go to sleepover, but they make up for it by serving my favorite meal every single day——rice.

我的父母是虎爸虎妈,他们不让我在外面过夜,但他们天天都会给我最喜欢吃的食物作为补偿,那就是米饭。

And I am a really bad driver.So my question for you now is how long did it take you to figure out i was joking?

而且我开车的技术非常烂。目前,我的问题是,你们花了多长时间才发现我是在开玩笑?

念书笔记:

1、both...and 两者都

这个词组表示“两者都......”的意思,用来强调两者协调配合的元素。在用这个词组的时候,应该注意后面动词的单复数形式。这个词组并不适用于就近原则,不管就近的名词和代词是复数还是单数,这个词组后面的动词需要要用复数。

例句:

Both the movie and the play were good.

电影和剧本都非常不错。

Any such action would have to be approved by both American and Saudi leaders.

任何如此的行动都需要获得美国和沙特领导人双方的批准。

2、aspire to 渴望,有志于

aspire to 后面可以接不定式,apsire to do sth,表示“立志做某事”,也可以在后面接名词或者动名词,表示“渴望做某事”。

例句:

He apire to be a scientist.

他立志成为一名科学家。

As an orphan ,he aspired to care from others very much.

身为孤儿,他很渴求其他人的关心。

3、tiger parents 虎爸虎妈

前几年,国内很时尚虎爸虎妈,指爸爸妈妈对子女的教育很严格,有些爸爸妈妈为了磨练孩子的意志,甚至让三四岁的孩子在雪地里裸跑。

例句:

Wow, you really are tiger parents!

哇,你们可真是对“tiger parents”!

4、sleepover 聚会,在外面过夜

例句:

My best friend invited me to her birthday sleepover, which will not end until Saturday noon.我最好的朋友邀请我去参加她的过生日彻夜狂欢派对。那将到星期六的中午才会结束。

5、make up for 弥补,补偿

make up for 后面常接名词或者动名词。

例句:

It was only until I decided to make a drastic change in my life that I could make up for this lost time.直到我决订做出生活中的巨大转变,我才弥补上了那些流失的岁月。

6、 figure out 解决;判定;

figure out 是指用脑力或者逻辑思辨能力来解决或者推断出某个问题,常用词组是something/someone 或 figure something/someone out,假如受词是人称代名词,需要放在中间,即figure it out、figure him out。

例句:
