Two days ago, one of my senior high school classmates phoned me and wanted to borrow some money from me! You can hardly imagine how awkward I was at that time, because I am short this week!朋友打电话要借点钱,我很尴尬,因为我没钱,这次我们来讨论一个这方面的话题!
1) I am short this week!我这个星期手头很紧。
Just now, in the introduction of our today s program, Andy has referred to this sentence:I am short this week! 在这个句子里面short=inadequate in,在某个方面不足,那么这里指short of money,没有钱。
We know money is not everything, but without money a lot of things can t be done!我们知道钱不是万能的,It cannot buy the knowledge,time,energy,life,etc. 不过没有钱也是很糟糕的事情,Andy就曾经碰到过。I remembered when I was in college, once I found that I only had one yuan in my pocket and it was not enough to buy lunch! How awkward I was at that time. You can imagine. Fortunately, one of my best friends gave me a hand and lent me 100RMB.还好是朋友的帮忙,Andy可以度过难关!这位朋友的英文名字叫Catherine, 在此Andy要表示特别的感谢!Thank you indeed for your great help!
2) He is so stingy!他小气的很!
我的这个朋友给我的帮助让我十分感激,但是如果你碰到的是一个小气鬼,那可就糟糕了,这里我们学习一个句子:He is so stingy! Here it shows that he loves money so much that he even doesn t want to lend any cents to others.那么Andy老师问一个问题,Do you think the person who is stingy is happy in his life? Maybe most of you will say no. I agree, for when he has refused others who may be his friend, he would feel uncomfortable in his inner heart.当你拒绝了帮助别人的时候,你就在朋友当中失去了信任,那么你不会快乐!
所以我一定要再给大家另外一个词汇,那就是generous,慷慨的。当你高兴的把自己的财富和别人分享的时候,你会感到快乐,同时你也会得到回报!Here my suggestion is: Be generous and don t be so stingy!
Since we have talked about money, Andy hope you can have as much money as possible. But remember when you have enough money, don t be so stingy. If possible, please help those who are short of it.
