Shelley的ScalersTalk第七轮新概念朗读持续训练D
练习材料:
I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.
'Hello, Nigel,' I said. 'Fancy meeting you here !'
'Hi, Elizabeth,' Nigel answered. ' I was just wondering how to spend the morning-
-until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you ?' ' No, not at all,' I answered.' I'm going to.. .'
'Would you mind my coming with you ?' he asked, before I had finished speaking. ‘ Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.'
' Then I'll come with you,' he answered.' There's always plenty to read in the 'waiting room !'
任务配置:L0+L4
知识笔记:

练习感悟:
突然感觉社会真的鱼龙混杂,能够保持自己内心的宁静,纷乱中还能坚持做自己的事情真的难得。
诱惑太多,一切都在把你高高的捧在空中,在人们的羡慕和恭维声中,在名利和虚荣中,很容易以为这些是自己应得的,自己理应比别人好,理应受到别人羡慕的目光。一旦这些成为构建自己内心的基石,那么总有一天,这一切都会崩塌,并把自己埋在废墟之下。所谓年少成名就容易出现大问题的原因就在这里。厚德载物,德不配位,人们无法掌控超过自我认知以外的财富。
至少,现在能做的就是把该坚持的坚持,该学习的学习,不要飘,也不要以为别人说了几句恭维羡慕的话就当真,变得虚荣。看清楚什么是自己的,什么是外界赋予你的,不要依靠外界,要仰仗自己的内心。记得,要有敬畏心。傲慢可以毁掉任何人。
