01你生活中的人们
A Reason,Season and Lifetime

Bryan.A 布莱

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed . They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually . They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. Sometimes they die. What we must realize is that our need has been met. Our desire fulfilled , their work is done. Your need has been answered, and now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant .

人们走进你的生活,或许是为了一个原因,或许是一段时间的停留,或许是一生相随。一旦明晓其中究竟,你将知道如何对待他们。

当某人因为一个原因出现在你的生命中时,通常他们满足了你的需要——帮你渡过难关,引导和支持你,在物质上、情感上、精神上帮助你。他们的出现是因为你的需要。然后毫无缘由的或很不合时宜的,这人说了什么或者做了什么便中止了你们的情谊。有时候是他们离你而去,有时候是他们故意找茬逼得你奋起反抗,有时候则是因为他们离世。我们必须认识到,我们的需要已经被满足,我们的愿望已经实现,他们的工作也已经完成。你的需要得到了满足,现在是时候继续前行了。

有的人在你的生活中会停留一段时间,那是因为你到了一个分享、成长或学习的阶段。他们让你体验平和,让你欢笑。他们可能会教给你一些你以前从没做过的事情。他们总能带给你多到难以置信的乐趣。相信这一点!这是真的!可这只能维持一段时间。

一生相随的感情教会你受益终生的道理:你必须做那些为了打造坚不可摧的感情基础而必须要做的事。你需要明白这个道理,对一生相随的人付出关爱,并将你所学到的应用到生命中的其他方面中去。爱情令人盲目,而友谊却能使你清醒。

语法知识点 Grammar points

When you fgure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

这一句话中包含了由when 引导的时间状语从句,which 引导的宾语从句,what 引导的宾语从句。下面我们依次讲解。

时间状语从句 用表示时间的连词连接一个句子作状语,这样的主从复合句中的从句就是时间状语从句。

When you think you know nothing, then you begin to know something.

当你以为自己一无所知的时候,你就是在开始知道一些事物了。

He was still smiling when his wife came in.

他正笑着的时候,他妻子走了进来。

I was thinking of this when I heard my name called.

宾语从句 在句子中起宾语作用的从句叫做宾语从句。

which是一个连接代词,在宾语从句中可以充当主语,宾语或定语。意思是“哪一个” 如:

I don’t know which bike belongs to my father.

我不知道哪一辆自行车是爸爸的。

He asked me which I liked best.

He can’t tell which method they will use for the experiment.

他不知道他们将使用哪种方法做这个实验。

Can you tell me which house is yours?

你能告诉我哪栋房子是你的吗?

I don’t know which company he works in.

我不知道他在哪家公司工作。

what引导名词性从句,可在从句中作主语、宾语、表语。例如:

The book will show you what the best CEOs know.

这本书会告诉你最好的执行总裁该了解些什么。

I don’t know what you did.

我不知道你做了什么。

二者区别 一般来说, wha t 没有范围, wh ich 是在有范围之内的一种选择。

I want to know what book you like to read.

我想知道你想看哪本书。(没有指定范围,有许多许多书供你选。)

I want to know which book you like to read best of the three.

我想知道这三本书中你最想看哪本。(有范围,在范围中选择。)
