(单词翻译:单击)

I know my children are going to encounter hardship, and I’m praying they won’t be naive. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. So I’m changing my prayer. Because life is tough, whether we want it to be or not.我们已祈祷了太多的安逸,但却少有实现。


  单词提示:
  encounter v. 遭遇;
  naive adj. 天真的
  答案:
  Too many times we pray for ease, but that’s a prayer seldom met.
  本句节选自《Growing Roots》
  1.前半句中祈祷某物最简练的表达就是pray for sth.
  2.后一句中“少有”的表达,除了seldom,还可以用few,hardly,rarely来表达
