　　4. Are you trying to say that no matter what happens, we cannot take for granted and forget to appreciate the potential beauty of our lives?no matter what的意思是“无论什么”，相当于whatever。take for granted指“把……事当成应该的；自然的”。例如： The boy takes his mother’s love for granted.　那个男孩觉得母亲对他

　　［模 拟 对 话］１　 Life Attitude

　　Lucy: I lost my mind these days, things just don’t go right, no matter how hard I try.

　　Henry: Why do you say that?

　　Lucy: I just think I am such a pathetic loser. No matter how hard I am gonna try, and there is no way I can make it. My life is just a joke.

　　Henry: Look at the moon. It’s so bright and round, isn’t it?

　　Lucy: Yes. But I don’t get you. What are you trying to say?

　　Henry: Life is full of ups and downs, and so does the shape of moon. But the moon will always be there no matter what happens.

　　Lucy: Are you trying to say that no matter what happens, we cannot take for granted and forget to appreciate the potential beauty of our lives?

　　Henry: That’s exactly what I am trying to tell you.

　　Lucy: I need to think it carefully. That’s so deep.

　　Henry: It’s not as deep as you think. You need just to see the world with hopeful eyes.

　　Lucy: Is that why I always see smile on your face?

　　Henry: Yes. It is just because that I always enjoy my life and I have an optimistic heart.

　　露西：这些日子我真的要崩溃了，总是不顺利，不管我怎样努力。亨利：为什么这么说啊？露西：我就是觉得我真是个十足的失败者。无论我怎样努力去尝试

　　我都不能获得成功。我的人生就是一个笑话。亨利：看今天的月亮，真的又亮又圆，不是吗？露西：是呀，但是我没明白，你在说什么？亨利：其实人的一生无不充满了起起伏伏，就像现在天上的那轮明

　　月，有阴晴圆缺。但是不管怎么样，月亮一直会存在于夜空。露西：你的意思是说无论发生什么，我们都不能无视和遗忘生活中

　　潜在的美丽？亨利：这正是我要告诉你的。露西：我要好好想想，太深奥了。亨利：其实没你想的那么深奥了。你只需要用充满希望的眼睛去看

　　待这个世界就可以了。露西：这就是为什么我总是看到你面带微笑的原因吗？亨利：是的，就是因为我总是在享受我的生活，而且我有一颗乐观

　　的心。

　　Mr. Shen: No, not very much. She’s too ambitious and immodest.

　　Mr. Zhao: I agree. I like her brother, Paul. They are nothing alike.

　　Mr. Shen: Yes. They are completely different. He’s very hardworking when he’s at school and much more modes than his sister.

　　Mr. Zhao: Is he a bookworm?

　　Mr. Shen: No. But I think he is a little shy.

　　Mr. Zhao: Oh, I don’t think he is shy! He is always chatting with new students.

　　Mr. Shen: Well, yes, but those students always start talking to him. I’ve never seen him talking to them first.

　　Mr. Zhao: How do you think people get their personalities?

　　Mr. Shen: I think it’s mainly from the environment a person lives in. Mr. Zhao: But Mary and Paul live in the same environment. Mr. Shen: Maybe when they become teenagers, they want to be

　　completely different from the other.
