赖世雄中级美国英语 Lesson 59:About Moral Values
日期:2008-12-14 11:53

(单词翻译:单击)

More and more people are forgetting the saying, "Pride comes before a fall." I remember only a few years
ago when things used to be so different. People used to be more modest and humble.
As I looked around at my schoolmate the other day, I realized how different things are. People are so
much more pretentious nowadays. With their fancy clothes and stylish hairdos, they appear too materialistic,
which is not to my liking. I know modernization is necessary for advancement. However, I hope we don't lose
our traditional moral values along the way.

word and expressions:

Clothes make the man. 人靠衣装,马靠鞍
A moral education is very important for our students.
I value your friendship very much. 珍惜
Pride comes before a fall. 骄兵必败
be proud of 以...为荣
pride: It's too proud. cocky 趾高气昂,公鸡 look down on 轻视
humble 比 modest 更谦虚

pretentious 自命不凡的 -- show off character 气质
fancy clothes 花哨的
to one's liking 令某人喜欢
