一个崭新的开始.doc

Part 3: monologue独白 1. A Fresh Start Now 一个崭新的开始 The greatest power you possess for succeeding in life is your understanding that life gives you a fresh start any moment you choose to start fresh. Youve only to test the truth of this fact about the newness of life to discover the incredible freedom that waits for you just behind it. Nothing that stood in your way before stands there now in the same way. Its all new, even if you cant as yet see it that way. 你所拥有的取得人生成功最大得法宝就是你领悟到：任何时候你选择重新开始，生活都总能给你一个崭新的开端。 要发现生活背后等待着你的无穷自由，只有去验证生活中新事物的真相。 以往任何不能阻止你前行的事物现在以相同方式出现却能组织你前行。即使你还没有发觉它已经完全是崭新的了。 注解 : 1) possess [??????] v. 拥有，占有 2) incredible [??????????] a. 难以置信的，极妙的 2. Chinese New Year 中国新年 To the Chinese people, Spring Festival is as important as Christmas to people in the West. According to the Chinese tradition, preparation for the festival starts from the beginning of the last lunar month and festival celebrations extend until the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month. As a matter of fact, nowadays few Chinese people can afford spending a whole month on festival activities due to the fast-paced life. However, most of the working people can enjoy a week-long public holiday, during which the most important are the New Years Eve and the first three days of the first lunar month. 对中国人来说，春节就像西方人的圣诞节一样重要。按照中国的传统，节前的准备从最后一个农历月的月初开始，并将一直持续到新年第一个农历月15号的元宵节为止。事实上，由于快节奏的生活，现在很少中国人能够把整个月时间花费在春节的各种活动上。然而，多数工薪人员能够享有一个一星期长的公众假日，期间最重要的是除夕以及第一个农历月的头三天。 3.
