Put Past Behind
凡事往前看
●在美国电影《Forrest Gump》(《阿甘正传》)里,阿甘的妈妈曾经对他说:“You got to put the past behind you before you can move on.”(你得丢开以往的事,生活才能向前进。)我们都清楚这个道理,但并不是每个人都能做到的。把“过去”像放东西一样摆在一边,阿甘的妈妈选用了“put”这个最普通的动词,十分形象地传达了人总要向前看的理念。
●生活中的点滴细节正体现在一个个具体动词的运用上。“put”的基本含义是“安置,摆放”,如糕点师把草莓摆放在蛋糕上用“put strawberries on the cake”。泡杯咖啡用“make a cup of coffee”,喝杯咖啡用“have a cup of coffee”,而喝的时候如果要加糖就要用“put some sugar in coffee”。如果整理房间,需要把东西收拾起来用“put things away”,放回原处用“put back”。把东西放进抽屉用“put it into drawer”。可是你有没有想过,发脾气也可以用这个词组表达“put sb.into a bad temper”。会议延期是“put off the meeting”。倒胃口也用这个词,比如你会让我倒胃口,吃不下晚饭用“put me off the dinner”,“put off”在此处表达的是“丧失兴趣”的意思。“穿上”用“put on”,“打开灯”用“put a light on”。最令人头痛的发胖也用这个词。比如,我有点胖了“I have put on some weight.”。
●前面提到“向前看”,要做到这一点,必须做到今日事,今日毕“Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”。
