人生必学的教训

可可电台

You don't have to live your life in a way society wants you to.

你不必以社会想让你生活的方式去生活

Decades of old beliefs, superstitions and rituals are being performed these days and are followed blindly without questioning their rationale.

几十年的旧习、迷信和规矩最近又开始风行,人们盲目地跟风而不去质疑这样做的理论依据。

Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career.

父母们有时会强迫孩子选择孩子不喜欢的专业就因为其他孩子选择了那个专业。

Girls are made to follow some rituals in their family which makes no sense to them at all. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking.

女孩们在家里要守一些对她们来说无任何意义的规矩。最糟糕的是,人们连问都不问,就这样做。

There is no harm in old rituals and beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

老规矩和旧习俗并无什么害处,但当你在感兴趣之前就去做时,不久你就会意识到你应该先做自己认为是正确的事情。


【知识点讲解】

make no sense 毫无意义

例句:

The manuscript is so corrupt that parts of it make no sense at all.

这稿子由于讹误太多,以致有的部分意义不明.

We read it through but could make no sense of it.

我们一直看到末尾,但看不懂是什么意思.

I could make no sense of his carelessly written letter.

我看不懂他马马虎虎写的那封信.
