春节放假之前,小编曾信心满满的做了一份春节计划:除了除夕和初一每天都要早睡早起,每天要读书2小时,每天要练字1小时,每天要做半小时的健身操防止长胖......
虽然计划的很美好,但计划不如变化快,整个计划里除了“长胖”其他都没做到。
这个假期,在self-discipline(自律)和self-indulgence(自我放纵)之间,C姐显然是选择了self-indulgence,不过“快乐是人性永恒的追求”,已经辛苦自律了一年,偶尔让自己活得高兴点,有什么错~
self-discipline 是个C2水平的词汇,如果你打算考BEC高级,就一定要记住它。self-discipline的意思是“自律;自我约束能力;自制力”。新的一年给自己定个小目标,C姐希望自己能比现在更自律一点点就够了。You need a lot of self-discipline when you're doing research work on your own.
既然提到了自律,就不能不提 willpower,同样是C2水平词汇,意思是“意志力;毅力”。你是一个意志坚强的人吗?It took a lot of willpower to stay calm.与willpower同义,determination也同样是“决心;毅力”的意思,不过这个单词是B2水平就需要掌握的词汇!a man of fierce/ruthless determination
indulgence 的意思是“沉溺;放纵;迁就;纵容”,虽然这个单词在BEC考试中并没有要求掌握,不过还是希望大家能记住,看到能认识这个比较常用的词汇。All the pleasures and indulgences of the weekend are over, and I must get down to some serious hard work.周末的快乐时光和享受都结束了,我得认真处理一些棘手的工作。over+indulgence=overindulgence,意思是“(尤指在饮食方面)过度放任(自己);过分沉溺,过分纵容”,突出的自然是“over 过分的,过度的”;self+indulgence=self-indulgence,意思是“自我放纵”,突出自我的放纵的行为。For many Americans, Thanksgiving is a time of overindulgence.Her father thought he had to be mean, to counteract her mother's overindulgence.Why should they be made to feel guilty for a little self-indulgence?self- 作为前缀时,意思是“自己的;自身的”,比如“self-educated自学的”。在BEC考试中需要掌握的以self- 作为前缀的词汇都有哪些?我们来认识一下吧!
At school he was popular and self-confident, and we weren't surprised at his later success.在学校的时候,他很受欢迎又很自信,所以对他以后的成功我们丝毫不感到惊讶。Robert is a self-centred, ambitious, and bigoted man.The programme aims to make the country self-sufficient in food production and to cut energy imports.这个项目旨在使国家在粮食上能自给自足,并减少能源进口。
