介绍:
问题:What is the relationship between money and happiness? I think that the amount of money you have certainly has something to do with how happy you are, but only to a very limited extent. You see, the stuff that money brings can only provide short-term happiness, and you would quickly fall into boredom again once you’ve gotten used to the things that you bought. Like, for example, buying a really luxurious car can give you a lot of excitement at first, but after like a year or so, would you still be so thrilled about having this car? No, you would probably just treat it like an ordinary tool for commuting purposes. If you want to pursue long-term happiness, then your best bet would be forming good relationships with the close ones around you, as many psychology studies have shown, because it is love and friendship that can give us mental satisfaction over a long period of time. 重点词汇: short-term adj. 短期的 (term本身有时段、期限的意思) boredom n. 无聊的状态 (注意-dom的后缀,表某个东西的状态或领域) luxurious adj. 奢华的 (多音节单词加后缀通常会改变重音位置) thrilled adj. 激动的 (excited的替换,但比excited程度更高) commute v. 通勤 (定期往返于工作或者学校的交通过程) satisfaction n. 满足 (记住各个词性变种,如satisfy, satisfactory) 高分表达: has to do with 与某件事有关系 (中间可以加表示程度的词,a lot, little, much) a very limited extent 在很小的程度上 (中间的limited可以被替换成其它程度词) Your best bet would be 你最好的选择是 (固定搭配,表示“成功率最高的选项是”) close one(s) 亲近的人(们) (one本身是代词,可以指代人,该搭配多为复数) 那么这就是我们今天所有的内容,今天讲的Part3问题是,金钱与幸福是怎样的一种关系。关注超级学长,获取实时资讯~
