What is opportunity cost

Chinese CourseBy Chinese Language SchoolApril 1, 2020

Unlike most costs discussed in economics, an opportunity cost doesn’t necessarily involve money. The opportunity cost of any action is simply the next best alternative to that action: What you would have done if you didn’t make the choice that you made? 与经济学中讨论的大多数成本不同,机会成本并不一定涉及金钱。任何行动的机会成本都只是该行动的次优方案:如果你没有做出这个选择,你会怎么做? The notion of opportunity cost is critical to the idea that the…

What are the necessary soft skills in the workplace

Chinese CourseBy Chinese Language SchoolMarch 30, 2020

1. Honesty. 1. 实事求是。 Communicate things as they are. There’s really no point playing around with words. People see through it sooner or later and it leads to losing credibility. 与他人沟通的时候就该实事求是,不必想着玩弄文字游戏。因为人们迟早都会看穿其中的蹊跷,从而导致信用缺失。 2. Clear communication. 2.表达清晰。 Honesty is one thing but if you can’t communicate your intent clearly, it’s not really very useful. It’s a skill…

Fans struggling with the epidemic received $ 3,000

Chinese CourseBy Chinese Language SchoolMarch 30, 2020

最近,有霉霉的粉丝在社交媒体上透露,自己因为疫情丢了工作导致经济困难,结果霉霉知道后直接给每人打了3000美元,让她们深受感动。
​

粉丝:“我急切的想用一切美丽的言语来表明这对我来意味着什么,但现在我真的不知该说什么,你们应该知道这个女人对我的意义。13年来,当没有人能帮我的时候,她一直在那里,一次又一次的拯救我。我对你的爱永远无法用语言形容,泰勒,谢谢你一直在我身边,我发誓,我也会永远在你身边。”

霉霉:萨曼莎,我看到你的发文,听说你现在因为越来越多的账单而压力很大,我想帮助你。能送给你3000美元最好的方式是什么?你有PayPal吗?爱你,泰勒

今日语言点
1.make statement 作出声明

2.more than words 无法言说

3.have one’s back 支持某人

4.pile up 累计

1. pile up表示积累,在这里表示“bill”账单越攒越多。pile除了作动词,也可作名词,表示“堆”,比如a pile of表示一堆……

2. I saw your tweet about being stressed about bills piling up. 第一个about是关于压力很大的推文,修饰的是tweet;第二个about是指因为账单太多所以很有压力,修饰的是stressed。

3. 霉霉用了“gift”这个词,除了作名词礼物,也可以做动词表示赠予,听起来要比“give,给你”更礼貌。

4. 想表示支持某人,除了用support,也可以说have your back,字面意思是我有你的后背,延伸为你不用担心背后的事,因为我在那里支持你。而最后那句“I promise to always have yours”中的yours=your back。

“作业越攒越多,让他很有压力”怎么说?

Watson handwritten call on everyone to stay home for family

Chinese CourseBy Chinese Language SchoolMarch 30, 2020

我的祖母超过70岁了,所以她尤其容易受到病毒攻击…我妈妈是Ⅰ型糖尿病患者,而我最好的朋友是医疗专业人员。#我为他们待在家中。你为了谁待在家中?爱你们。

今日语言点
1.particularly /pəˈtɪkjələli/ adv. 尤其,极其

2.vulnerable /ˈvʌlnərəbl/ adj. 易受伤害的,脆弱的

3.professional /prəˈfeʃənl/ adj. 专业的;n. 专业人员

4.diabetic /ˌdaɪəˈbetɪk/ adj. 患糖尿病的;n. 糖尿病患者

1.vulnerable这个词,既可以像文中指生理上的,比如健康很脆弱,也可以指心理上的,比如她的心理状态不好,很容易受到伤害。

2.提到professional这个词,大家比较熟悉的都是作为形容词使用,比如He is a professional trainer. 他是名专业的教练。但其实它的名词形式也很常见,可以直接指代“工作人士”。比如在国外的很多租房网站上,很多人都会说自己是已经工作的人士,“I’m a professional”,以证明自己不是无业游民。

3.糖尿病是diabetes/ˌdaɪəˈbiːtiːz/(注意最后的s),形容词是diabetic。
