Language Sense Enhancement

1. 略

2. 没有走的路 The Road Not Taken

黄树林里分叉两条路，TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

只可惜我不能都踏行。And sorry I could not travel both

我，单独的旅人，伫立良久，And be one traveler, long I stood

极目眺望一条路的尽头，And looked down one as far as I could

看它隐没在丛林深处。To where it bent in the undergrowth;

於是我选择了另一条路，Then took the other, as just as fair,

一样平直，也许更值得，And having perhaps the better claim,

因为青草茵茵，还未被踏过，Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

若有过往人踪，Though as for that the passing there

两条路的状况会相差无几。Had worn them really about the same,

那天早晨，两条路都覆盖在枯叶下，And both that morning equally lay

没有践踏的痕迹：In leaves no step had trodden black.

啊，原先那条路留给另一天吧！Oh, I kept the first for another day!

明知一条路会引出另一条路，Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

我怀疑我是否会回到原处。I doubted if I should ever come back

在许多许多年以後，在某处，I shall be telling this with a sigh

我会轻轻叹息说：Somewhere ages and ages hence:

黄树林里分叉两条路，而我，Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

我选择了较少人迹的一条，I took the one less traveled by,

从此使得一切多麽地不同。And that has made all ther difference.

(备注：对诗的解读从来都是各家各味，此仅为翻译之一，网上有诸多版本可供参考)

3. Chinese version

※生活属于生者。而生者必须时刻准备着应对变化。

※在一个进步的国家里，变化是持续永恒的，是不可避免的。

※生活就好比一支狗拉雪橇队。如果你不是那只领头犬，那么风景将永远不变（你看到的将永远是前面一只狗的臀部）。

※生活中我一直怀有梦想——它们一直伴随着我，改变我的观念。它们照进我心里，如同酒浆过水，改变了我思想的色泽。

A decade ago, Nancy did what so many Americans dream about. She quit an executive position and opened a household equipment store in her neighborhood. People like Nancy made the decision primarily because of their desire to improve the quality of living.

But, it is by no means an easy job to run a small business. Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses. Sometimes she had even no money to pay the premiums for the various kinds of insurance she needed. Once she could not even pick up the the phone bill and had to ask her parents to lend her some money.

Fortunately, she has went through the hardest time through her own hard work. And she is determined to continue pursuing her dream life.

By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me ten pounds a week. He said, "OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring your friends here for free drinks?" He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot. Unit 2 Part B Text 1

Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child's sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, "I care about you enough to spend an hour cooking what you will eat
