好英文娓娓动听Words and Expressions

ABut somewhere in the middle of free from post-graduation survival, the journey of your life has a way of sneaking off the starting line.That is when your Penn education starts peeking through.You have been given the promise of meaningfulness.You"ve learned the discipline to“just do it”,to apply yourself and lay your guts on the line.You have been inspired and not just by the things you have learned here.You have been inspired by the experiences you have had, the people you"ve held, the blood you have shed, all the growing up surrounded by hopefulness of spirit.You have dared, have stuck your hands in the surf and come up with dripping substance?

All of that fine and delicious matter has a way of becoming the material of your life. You pick up bits and pieces of treasure and trash, pain and pleasure, passions and disappointments and you start stuffing them in your bag……your big bag of experience.You do some dumb things that don"t work out at all.You stumble excitedly on little gems that you never saw coming.And you stuff them all in your bag.

You pursue the things you love and believe in. You cast off the images of yourself that don"t fit.And suddenly you look behind you and a pattern emerges.You look in front of you and the path makes sense.There is nothing more beautiful than finding your course as you believe you bob aimlessly in the current.Wouldn"t you know that your path was there all along, waiting for you to knock, waiting for you to become.This path does not belong to your parents, your teachers, your leaders, or your lovers.BYour path is your character defining itself more and more everyday like a photograph coming into focus, like a color that becomes more vivid in contrast with its surroundings.

And who is this shiny penny rolling towards that bright future, our graduating clich?Is he or she so shiny?Is the future truly bright?Well, that is only for you to know and for you to find out. You are standing on a freeway and things will happen.CHow you duck, weave and balance, how you push, twist and choose, well, that is up to you.

难点重点,一目了然!

ABut somewhere in the middle of free from post-graduation survival, the journey of your life has a way of sneaking off the starting line.

但就在毕业后谋生的过程中,你们的生命路程就会慢慢地跨出起跑线。

the journey of your life has a way of sneaking off the starting line是句子的主句,somewhere in the middle……是句子的地点状语。

BYour path is your character defining itself more and more everyday like a photograph coming into focus, like a color that becomes more vivid in contrast with its surroundings.

你们的路一天天地使你们认清自己,就像照片慢慢对准了焦点,就像一种颜色在周围环境的映衬下变得格外鲜艳。

这句是含有状语从句的复合句。like a photograph……,like a color……,是句子的状语部分。

CHow you duck, weave and balance, how you push, twist and choose, well, that is up to you.

你们如何急速行驶,迂回穿行或者两者并用,如何向前推进,迂回前进或是选择其他,这一切都取决于你们自己。

be up to sb.表示由某人决定。例如:An lndian or a Chinese meal?It"s up to you.吃印度菜还是吃中国菜?由你决定吧。

好英文娓娓动听Words and Expressions

Well, guess again, the real secret about diplomats is that we are trained to say something when there is nothing to say, and to say nothing when there is something to say.We are forever locked between a cliché and an indiscretion.ASo, even though my immunity has been revoked, I thought I"d err on the side of indiscretion today and try to find a few honest words about choices ahead and finding a successful pathway in life.Because tomorrow you will start finding your own pathway.

But today you"re closing an incredibly important and expensive chapters in your life. So no matter what else I say today, I hope you remember this:congratulations graduates, we are very, very proud of you.

Life isn"t a straight and narrow route. Life is full of turns, hills, alleyways, sometimes even cliffs, lots of speed bumps and potholes.Some pathways are by design.Others are more random.Some stick to the script.Others like to improvise.Everyone of you sitting here today"s commencement exercise, and for most of you, you"re just beginning the first chapter of your life.

So what do you want your book of life to look like?How do you want it to read?How many chapters will there be?Will it be fiction or will it be non-fiction?Heroic or romantic?Comedy or tragedy?Starting the minute you wake up tomorrow, it is totally up to you.

BOne thing I have learned is that your life will never be complete until you find most deep-rooted passion. And you"ll never find your passion until you learn to follow your heart.The one thing that drives you and inspires you and motivates you.

CSo, starting today quit asking others what they think you should be. Ask yourself and follow your heart.It"ll never let you down.

BOne thing I have learned is that your life will never be complete until you find most deep-rooted passion.

我学到的一件事就是在找到你们根深蒂固的热情之前,生活永远都不是完整的。

这是一个含有时间状语从句的复合句。句子的主句是one thing is that your……,是一句表语从句。until you find most deep-rooted passion是由until引导的时间状语从句。

CSo, starting today quit asking others what they think you should be.

因此,从今天开始,不要再问别人他们认为你该做什么。

starting today在句中做状语。
