Make A Difference
与众不同
●“把握生命里的每一分钟,祝福你的人生与众不同。”这句歌词表达了每一个普通人的心愿,希望自己能够与众不同“make a difference”。在平淡的生活中哪怕有一次闪亮时刻,人生也就大不一样了“make a change”。
●说到“make”,这又是一个用途很广的词。基本含义为“做,制作”,渗透在日常生活中点点滴滴的小事中,如做面包“make a bread”、做蛋糕“make a cake”;沏杯茶“make a cup of tea”,泡咖啡“make coffee”;做饭、生火“make a meal”、“make a fire”;铺床叠被“make bed”。make用在大工程中有,造楼“make a building”,造小汽车“make a car”。不光是人,动物安家也用“make”,比如小鸟搭窝“make a nest”。
●除了制作和建造具体有形的物体,还可以制作无形的事物,如国家制定法律“make laws”,惹麻烦“make trouble”。生活中,每个人都从事的事情——赚钱“make money”。还有五花八门的表达都离不开这个词。
●犯错误make a mistake/发表演说make an address/旅行make a journey/交朋友make friends
●如今,生活在城市里的人都是行色匆匆“make haste”,都在为前途而打拼“make every effort”。下定决心“make a decision”,早点出发“make an early start”,但愿你早日获得成功“make a hit”。
