Today young people tend to jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste(匆忙.
催促) (1) that they fail to realize the essence of true love. Given the current state of
affairs(事件) (2), we need to consider more closely the nature of love. True love has to be distinguished(杰出的) (3) from the pleasures of the flesh. True love means a meeting of minds (4) and it takes time to blossom(兴旺) (5). People who are in true love focus more on inner charm(魅力) (6) than on physical beauty, more on intimacy(亲密) (7) than on closeness, more on emotion (8) than on passion, more on sharing than on acquiring(取得) (9). As true love happens once in a lifetime, they have in their minds the ideals (10) of the relationship. They share mutual respect, admiration(钦佩) (11) and plenty of romance, so their relationship is lasting (12) and meaningful. Preserving true love requires effort, however. You should gift your object of affection(影响) (13) your time, company, support and friendship; you should give yourself and your beloved time and space to forge(伪造.铸造) (14) a life-long bond; and you should honor (15) your commitments. In short, you should devote yourself to your love. Your devotion to love will, in return, bring you an overwhelming(势不可挡) (16) joy.
今天年轻人倾向于跟随潮流的爱有这么多匆忙(匆忙。催促)(1),他们没有意识到真爱的本质。鉴于事务的当前状态(事件)(2),我们需要考虑更接近爱的本质。真爱必须区分(杰出的)(3)从肉体的快乐。真爱意味着思维(4)会议和需要时间开花(兴旺)(5),在真爱的人更关注内在的魅力(魅力)(6)比外在美,更亲密(亲密)(7)不是亲密,情感(8)而非激情,分享比收购(取得)(9),真爱一生一次,他们在他们心目中理想(10)的关系。他们相互尊重、赞赏(钦佩)(11)和大量的浪漫,所以他们的关系是持久的(12)和有意义的。然而,保留真爱需要努力。你应该礼物你爱的对象(影响)(13)你的时间,公司支持和友谊,你应该给你自己和你心爱的时间和空间来建立(伪造。铸造)(14)终身债券;,你应该尊重(15)的承诺。简而言之,你应该奉献自己的爱。你的忠诚的爱会,作为回报,为你带来压倒性的(势不可挡)(16)快乐。

What is genuine friendship? Some classical(古典的.经典的)(1) views may help us understand the notion(观念) (2) of friendship more clearly. Aristotle distinguishes genuine friendship from two other forms: one based on mutual utility(效用) (3) and the other on pleasure. While the ground (4) for the latter two forms of friendship is closely related to material benefits, short-term interests or age, genuine friendship occurs (5) only between those who are similar in their goodness (6). Cicero, another ancient scholar, believes that true friends' actions and lives should leave no question as to (7) their honor, purity, equity and liberality. Whether or not one possesses(拥有) (8) any superiority over the other, both must regard themselves as equals of the other and try their best to preserve(维护;维持) (9) the friendship. Moreover, true friends are bound(结合) (10) together, as a friend is said to be a mirror (11) in which you may
perceive and know yourself. When virtuous(品德高尚的) (12) friends are bonded together by a commitment(保证,承诺) (13) to the good, they can recognize each other's moral excellence (14) and fulfill their self-improvement.
真正的友谊是什么?一些古典(古典的。经典的)(1)观点可能帮助我们理解这一概念(观念)(2)友谊的更清楚。亚里士多德区分真正的友谊与其他两个形式:一个建立在相互效用(效用)(3)和其他乐趣。尽管后者的地面(4)两种形式的友谊是密切相关的物质利益,短期利益或年龄,真正的友谊(5)之间的那些发生在他们的善良(6)是相似的。西塞罗,另一古老的学者认为,真正的朋友的行动和生活应该离开毫无疑问(7)他们的荣誉,纯洁,股票和慷慨。是否一个拥有(拥有)(8)任何优势,都必须将自己视作平等的,尽最大努力保护(维护;维持)(9)的友谊。此外,真正的朋友一定会(结合)(10)在一起,作为一个朋友是一面镜子(11)你可能认识和了解自己。当良性(品德高尚的)(12)朋友是粘合在一起的承诺(保证,承诺)(13)好,他们可以识别彼此的美德(14)和履行自我完善。

When we are suddenly (1)transplanted abroad, we may lose the peace of mind we need for everyday work and life. All the familiar (2)cues disappear including words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms. We reject the foreign environment and slip into the (3)tendency to believe that our culture, race and nation form the center of the world. The (4)frustration and anxiety that can be (5)attributed to the loss of familiar signs are symptoms of culture shock. One of the effective (6)cures for this ailment is to know something about the nature of culture and its relationship to the individual. We should bear in mind that we are born with the (7)capacity to learn culture and use it. The culture of any people is the product of history and is (8)built up over time. It is (9)by means of culture that we learn to adapt the physical environment and to the people with whom we associate. Therefore, it is (10)due to our own lack of understanding of other people’s culture background and of the means of communication that we can not (11)orient ourselves (12)to the host country. Another quick way to (13)get over culture shock is to know the
language. Once we are equipped with the language, a whole new world of cultural meanings (14)opens up for us. We will begin to find out not only what people do and how they do things, but also what their interests are. (15)In addition, it helps us to be a participant observer by joining the activities of the people and sharing in their responses, whether this be a carnival, a religious ritual, or some economic activity.
当我们突然移植国外,我们可能会失去心灵的平静我们日常工作和生活需要。所有熟悉的线索消失包括单词,手势,面部表情、海关、或规范。我们拒绝外国环境,溜进了倾向于认为我们的文化,种族和民族构成世界的中心。沮丧和焦虑可以归因于失去熟悉的迹象是文化冲击的症状。这个疾病的一个有效的治疗是了解文化的本质及其与个体的关系。我们应该记住,我们与生俱来的能力来学习文化和使用它。任何的人的文化是历史的产物,随着时间的推移积累。通过文化,我们学会去适应物理环境和人与我们联系。因此,它是由于我们自己的缺乏理解他人的文化背景和交流的方式,我们不能东方东道国。另一个快速的方法来克服文化冲击是知道的语言。一旦我们配备了语言,文化含义开辟了一个全新的世界。我们将开始发现不仅人们做什么和如何做,而且他们的利益是什么。此外,它可以帮助我们成为一个参与者观察者通过加入人的活动和分享他们的反应,无论这是狂欢节,宗教仪式,或者一些经济活动。
