今日发音练习重点:

gifts/counts 尾部发连缀辅音/ts/。类似汉语中“次”的声母音。

言之有物

1. gifts 天赋

gift 礼物/天赋

gifted adj. 有天赋的

You are goddamn gifted. 你简直太有天赋了!

辨析 talent gift genius

都有天才之意。

genius天才,是这三词中程度最高的词。如:

Shakespeare was a man of great genius.

gift天赋,比“天才”的意义要弱一点,可用复数。如:

He is a man of many gifts.(他多才多艺。)

talent才能,一般不用复数,指通过学习和勤奋掌握的本领、技术和其他的活动能力。如:

As a novelist, he shows great talent in characterization.(作为小说家,他在描写人物方面显出很大的才能。)

2. It's how you use them that counts. 怎样使用(这些天赋)才重要。

count verb. 算/重要

It's how you XX that counts. XX才算/重要的是...。

It is not how much you read but what you read that counts.

读多少书不重要,重要的是读的都是些什么书。

count / matter 重要

拓展词链儿:

It's the thought that counts. 心意更重要/礼轻情意重。

It was an awful idea. But I suppose it's the thought that counts. 主意很馊,但也是一番好意。

活学活用

请用 It's how XX that counts. 随意造句
