托福考试中表示挫折的词汇

2019-05-16 10:55:55来源：太原新东方 石东民

　　有句话说，人生在世，不如意事常八九。生活中总会有各种各样的事，并非我们所预料，比如，和蓝铝朋友闹别扭，在苦心备战的托福考试中失利，承受一段时期的身体不适，再比如~东民老师为了练车不惜晒黑三度降低颜值，依旧挂掉的科二。。。

　　经常听到朋友轻松谈起“我科二挂了三次，哈哈哈”，都是当笑话听，但是真正自己经历这样的情况，真的是非常不!开!心!

　　在考托路上，也遇见过非常刻苦的学生，在托福路上走得很不容易。方法对了，练的不少，但是遇见的考题爆难，导致心态不稳... 出分后也是苦闷不堪。

　　说到这，我们来积累几个表达“挫折”的名词：

　　letdown

　　That's a real letdown.

　　这真叫人失望。

　　setback

　　She views every minor setbacks as a disaster.

　　她把每个小挫折都看成大灾难似的。

　　frustration

　　Every job has its difficulties and frustrations.

　　每个工作都有困难和令人懊恼之处。

　　adversity

　　The others were greatly inspired by his courage in the face of adversity.

　　他面对逆境的勇气极大地鼓舞了其他人。

　　不过，难过归难过，要相信，成长的路上遇到的这些surprise，都是命运最善意的安排，只愿我们能从中变得更好。

　　中华传统文化中，就有这么一则小故事，告诉我们为何要对待一切都保持平和的心态，我们来看看这则故事的英文版：

　　A Chinese farmer had an old horse for tilling his fields. One day the horse escaped into the hills. When all the farmer’s neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, he replied, “Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?”

　　A week later the horse returned with a herd of wild horses from the hills. This time the neighbors congratulated the farmer on his good luck. His reply, again, was, “Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?”

　　When the farmer’s son was attempting to tame one of the wild horses, he fell off its back and the boy broke his leg. Everyone thought this was very bad luck. Not the farmer, whose only reply was, “Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?”

　　Weeks later, the army marched into the village and conscripted every able- bodied man they could find to go to war. When they saw the farmer’s son with his broken leg, they let him off. Now, was that good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?

　　看罢，发现这则故事说的是哪个成语了吗?

　　公布答案喽~

　　塞翁失马，焉知非福

　　Things are rarely as bad as they seem.Our blessings often appear to us in the shape of pain, loss, or disappointment.

　　If you remind yourself of this, you can always find a granule of good in the bad, gains in your losses.

　　The next time you’re in the middle of a letdown, you can uplift yourself by remembering that good or bad luck isn’t in the situation. It resides in your interpretation and is rarely as bad or as good as you imagine.

　　事情并不像我们想的那么遭。好运总是以痛苦、失落的方式呈现。如果能时刻这样提醒自己，就会在挫折中发现其背面的好事。事情的好坏取决于我们解读时的心态。

　　Smart Tricks to Boost Your Mood

　　• Remember to HALT when you are feeling overwhelmed.

　　• Unplug from your electronic devices once in a while to enjoy life’s other pleasures.

　　• Make it a habit to name your strengths when you list your shortcomings so you have a more balanced picture of who you really are.

　　• Look for the upside of every bad situation so the letdown doesn’t hold you down.

　　• Connect with a Power greater than you so your ego doesn’t call the shots.

　　最后这句比较抽象，说的是连接更强大的精神力量，这样消极的自我就失去市场了。 call the shots意为“发号施令;操纵”

　　个人理解，所谓强大的精神力量也许源于信仰，源于需要全神投入的一份工作或比赛，一个榜样，或者是一本书，一首歌~
