030-梦想可以随心所欲，理想需要脚踏实地

2020-10-18

评价人生成功与否的是什么？不是金钱，因为那是结果。

有一个角度，那就是，你曾经是否为了某件事、脚踏实地地，去实现它！

曾经想过什么？

做了哪些？

实现了哪些？

以后呢？

这些答案，如果，都是肯定的，那么，你就是成功的。

You had something valuable in your mind and you did a lot of things for them. It is what I call success.

1、 地道英语

1.1 What money can buy—a bed but not sleep ; computer but not brain ; food but not appetite ; finery but not beauty ; a house but not home ; medicine but not health ; luxuries but not culture ; amusement but not happiness ; acquaintance but not friends ; obedience but not faithfulness ; sex but not love.

金钱能买什么？一张床、一台电脑、食物、外表、房子、药品、奢华、娱乐、熟人、顺从、性！

但买不到：睡眠、胃口、美丽、家、健康、文化、快乐、朋友、真心、爱！

1.2 Our future lies with today’s kids and tomorrow’s space exploration.

人类的未来，在于今天的孩子，以及明天的太空探索。

2、文章结构

2.1原文：

Critical thinking is all about asking questions, the right questions. Critical thinking involves stepping back from a situation to enable you to see all the angles before making judgments or taking decisions.

It means identifying the key points, analyzing the sources of information, weighing up different types of evidence just as a judge and jury will do in a court of law.

One thing that is very important to realize is critical thinking isn’t about being critical, and it’s about much more than just finding flaws in other people’s claims. By itself that isn’t enough to give you an edge.

To be a true thinker means being creative, reflective and adaptable, evaluating the evidence to decide for yourself-what is accurate, what is relevant and do I have sufficient information to take a decision on this topic.

Thinking critically means taking a stand for yourself. It can be difficult not to be swayed by close family or friends’ views on things or certain beliefs that just feel right, but learning how to use these higher-order thinking skills can help you to feel much more confident in your own opinions and conclusions.

2.2结构说明

批评性思维（Critical Thinking），其关键在于批判性（Critical），而不是批判（Criticism）。

批判是对于别人的评价，别人的对错。其实没有意义。

因此，评判性思维，不是针对别人，而是针对你自己，你自己的思维过程！

其目标对象，在于：你做出判断，做出决定前，你的思考过程（You must focus on the thinking process for you to make a judgment and take a decision）。

你接收的信息，你要评估其来源、判断其可信度（Analyze the sources of information and evaluate the confidence of evidence） 。

你做出的决定，要有证据予以支持，而不是情感（You make decision by enough evidence not emotion）。

框架图如下：

3、经典翻译

3.1梦想，可以天花乱坠。理想，要一步一个脚印的坎坷而来

Dreams can be as wild as you want, while ideals, are a rough road where we leave our footprints all along.

3.2 你像风来了又走，我心满了又空。

Just like wind, I can feel your coming and going, bringing satisfaction but leaving desperation.

3.3 不要在我面前歇斯底里，我一点都不怕你，在我面前，你是一个彻头彻尾的白痴。快滚！

Don’t act like a scary nasty beast to me, I don’t dread you at all, because you look like an idiot from head to toe. Just get out of my sight.

3.4 白天不做亏心事，夜晚不怕鬼敲门。

If you are not mean in the daytime, you shouldn’t be afraid of the bad fortune sneaking into your house during the night.

4、社会

4.1 原文：

The world’s largest mass migration. China expects to transport 2.91 billion passengers during the Lunar New Year! Two groups make up a high proportion of these travelers: college students and migrant workers.

In 2016, around 300 million migrant workers from rural areas working and living in major cities around China. Job opportunities and higher salaries attract many migrant workers. Around 38% of Beijing’s and 40% of Shanghai’s population are non-residents.

The mass movement has got a name-Chun Yun, or Spring rush. The Spring Rush usually lasts 40 days. Trains and buses are the most popular transportation means during the Spring Rush.

Last year, around 300 million train tickets and 2.5 billion bus tickets were sold during “Chun Yun”. Just imagine 10 times the American population traveling together.

4.2解说：

Spring Rush 春运，是社会区域发展差异化，与中国传统文化结合的产物。

一年一度，如候鸟一般（just as Migrant Birds as migration）:春天，出去工作、收获（get the job

opportunity and make money in Spring） ；冬天，回到家乡，感受亲情（come back to hometown and enjoy the family affection）！

5、生命的意义

5.1原文：

Learning a foreign language at four takes a lot less effort than learning one at forty. One, put your kids to work. It’s very important that your kids understand that money comes from work, not from mom and dad’s wallet.When children work for things they want to buy, the purchase feels like an accomplishment, not an entitlement.

Lesson Number two-let your kids make mistakes with their money.They’ll waste money on stuff that a week later they wish they had never bought.And as their parents, there are times you need to let them make that mistake and suffer the consequences. That’s how they learn.

Lesson Number three-teach your kids to make saving a habit.Saving money is a discipline. Teach your children that saving is one of the first things you do when you get paid, one what you do with money you have leftover. So start today. Help your kids become fluent in the language of money and how to handle it. Because if you don’t, well all I can say is get the basement ready.
