【每日一句】
Blessed China.United countrymen.
天佑中华,众志成城。
注释
英语和汉语一样,简短的句子表达的力度更强,所以,一些关于这个成语的翻译,
都是选择意思类似的又简短的英文表达方式,比如,“Unity is strength.(团结
就是力量)”,“Make it happen.(美梦成真)”。这里选择用动词unite的过去
分词形式,是考虑到与前半句结构呼应。

【每日背诵】
Self-esteem
Self-esteem is a precious and fragile commodity.
On it we build our personality and character
from which our actions spring.
People with a high sense of self-esteem
tend not only to treat others with sincerity and courtesy,
but also treat themselves kindly.
There is an English saying that
"No one can love you before you love yourself".
自爱
自爱是一种珍贵却又易碎的“日用品”
在它的基础上,我们树立起我们自己的人格和个性,
而我们的行为举止也缘起于此。
自尊心强的人不仅待人真诚谦逊,而且对自己也很宽容。
英语里有句话:“爱自己,别人才会爱你”。
