读名言学英语:a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.

读名言学英语:a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.

教育
今天要分享的, 是权游作者马老爷子的一句话:
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only once.
读书的人一生能体验千种人生,不读书的人只度过自己的一生。
 


【语言点讲解】the man并不是指“那个男人”
就像汉语一开始没有“她”,英语单词中,一开始也是没有woman这个单词的(woman是wife和man结合而成的)。
其实,man在最开始的时候,就是human being的意思,可男可女。
该词意,在现代英语中依然被保留了下来,看下牛津词典的解释:




下面,再给大家说一下man这个词一些很实用的表达:
一是用man表达“喜欢……的人”。比如:
a betting man好赌博的人;a drinking man好喝酒的人;a fighting man好打架的人。
二是用man表达“男友、伴侣”的意思。比如:
What's her new man like?
她的新男友怎么样?
I now pronounce you man and wife (= you are now officially married) .
我现在正式宣布你们结为夫妇。
三是用man表达“男子气概”。比如:
Come on, now─be a man.
快点儿,像个男子汉的样子。
She's more of a man than he is.
她比他有男子气。

另外,有几个man相关的习语表达,很实用,一块学习下:
as one man是“同心协力;协调一致
be sb's man是最合适的人;最佳人选”。比如:
For a superb haircut, David's your man.
要想理个好发型,你最好是去找戴维。

be man enough (to do sth/for sth)是“有足够的勇气或意志”。比如:
He was not man enough to face up to his responsibility.
他没有足够的勇气去承担责任。
every man for himself是“人各为己;自己顾自己”。比如:
In business, it's every man for himself.
生意场上都是人各为己。   
a/the man about town是“喜欢社交者;社交界名人”
man and boy是“从小到大;一辈子”。比如:
He's been doing the same job for 50 years─man and boy.
他从小就干着同一份工作,有50年了。

the man (and/or woman) in the street是“平民;老百姓”。比如:
Politicians often don't understand the views of the man in the street.
从政者通常不理解平民百姓的观点。

man's best friend是指“人类的好朋友(指狗)”

be your own man/woman是“独立自主”

one man's meat is another man's poison是“一人手中宝,他人脚下草”

最后,you can't keep a good man down,即“有志者事竟成;决心大的人终有出头之日”
man to man

between two men who are treating each other honestly and equally (男人间)诚实相待,坦率
I'm telling you all this man to man.
我要把这一切都坦率地告诉你。
a man-to-man talk
坦率的谈话
