Dear Parents, Students and Employees,
親愛的家長朋友們、同學(xué)們、各教職工同事:
I like to learn and research words! Have you tried to discover new ideas by carefully studying a word or phrase? I suggest that you can learn vocabulary and phrases carefully in order to learn and remember concepts in depth.
我喜歡學(xué)習(xí)研究詞語!你有沒有嘗試通過仔細研究一個單詞或短語來發(fā)現(xiàn)新的觀點?我建議大家可以通過仔細學(xué)習(xí)詞匯和短語,以此來深入學(xué)習(xí)和牢記概念。
When I study a word carefully, I first look up the definition of the word, and then use the word I'm studying to find insightful, widely cited sentences. I will also record my personal understanding, examples and definitions.
當我仔細研究詞語時,我會先查單詞的定義,然后用我正在研究的單詞查找有洞察性、廣為引用的語句。我還會記錄了我個人對其的理解、例子和定義。
For example, I recently realized that the word “hope” can give people strength to deal with the future.
例如,我最近意識到“希望”這個詞可以給人以應(yīng)對未來的力量。
The definition of hope is “a desire of some good, accompanied with at least a slight expectation of obtaining it, or a belief that it is obtainable. Hope differs from wish and desire in this, that it implies some expectation of obtaining the good desired, or the possibility of possessing it. Hope, therefore always gives pleasure or joy, whereas wish and desire may produce or be accompanied with pain or anxiety.” (Noah Webster, 1828 Dictionary of the English Language)
希望的定義是“對某種美好事物的渴望,至少伴隨著對獲得它的一點點期望,或者相信它是可以獲得的。希望與愿望和欲望的不同之處在于,它意味著對獲得所渴望的善的某種期望,或擁有它的可能性。因此,希望總是帶來快樂或喜悅,而愿望和欲望可能產(chǎn)生或伴隨著痛苦或焦慮?!保ㄖZ亞韋伯斯特,1828年《英語詞典》)
From this definition, I learned that hope means waiting for something with confidence, and expecting it or achieving it. Hope means confident expectation.
從這個定義中,我了解到希望意味著滿懷信心地等待某樣?xùn)|西,并期望得到或?qū)崿F(xiàn)它。希望意味著自信的期待。
Relating this to our students, the statement “I hope I can get an offer from _____ university” implies more confidence than the statement “I wish I could get an offer from ____ university.”
對于我們的同學(xué)們來說,比起“我愿我能獲得 _____大學(xué)的錄取通知書”這句話,“我希望我能獲得 _____大學(xué)的錄取通知書”這個陳述會顯得更有信心。
Our hopes will increase as we strive to pursue our goals. For example, when we work hard in class and submit homework for evaluation, we can confidently “hope” for good results. Work is a good medicine to eliminate worries and doubts.
我們的希望會隨著我們努力追求我們的目標而增強。例如,當我們在課堂上付出努力并提交作業(yè)進行評估時,我們可以滿懷信心地“希望”取得好成績。工作是消除憂慮和懷疑的良藥。
Hope is a useful concept in many aspects of life. When I reviewed many aphorisms about hope recently, the following sentence impressed me:
希望在生活的許多方面都是一個有用的概念。當我最近回顧了許多關(guān)于希望的格言時,有一句話讓我印象深刻:
“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
“希望很重要,因為它可以讓現(xiàn)在的時刻不那么難以忍受。如果我們相信明天會更好,我們就可以忍受今天的苦難”
—— 一行禪師
As the Principal of RDF School, I am full of hope and confidence in the future. I hope 2021 will bring more exciting learning and growing experiences.
作為深圳瑞得福學(xué)校的負責人,我對未來充滿希望和信心。我希望2021年會帶來更多精彩的學(xué)習(xí)和成長經(jīng)歷。
I hope that the pandemic can be brought under control. I believe that vaccines and other prevention and control measures will protect many lives and return us to a greater sense of normality.
我希望新冠疫情能得到控制。我相信,疫苗和其他防控措施將保護許多人的生命,使我們能恢復(fù)更大范圍的正常生活。
I hope that RDF is becoming better and better, and I believe that RDF is improving day by day. I hope and have confidence that students are constantly developing their knowledge about paradigms, skills, languages, sciences, and humanities each day.
我希望瑞得福學(xué)校越來越好。我每天都滿懷希望地工作,相信RDF正在一天天進步。我希望并有信心,同學(xué)們每天都在不斷地發(fā)展他們的范式、技能、語言、科學(xué)和人文學(xué)科知識。
I hope with full confidence that the students of RDF will graduate from school and be admitted to excellent universities around the world. The families of RDF will become better and better due to the wisdom, knowledge, and qualifications that students gain at RDFIS.
我滿懷信心地希望,深圳瑞得福學(xué)校的同學(xué)們將從學(xué)校畢業(yè),并被世界各地的知名大學(xué)錄取,RDF的各個家庭由于孩子們在校園里獲得的智慧、知識和資格證書而變得越來越緊密和強大。
As we have observed in our past graduates and our current students of G12, it is amazing the good that can be accomplished when families and schools work together for a common goal.
正如我們在過去的畢業(yè)生和現(xiàn)在的學(xué)生身上所觀察到的,包括目前獲得錄取通知書的G12學(xué)生,家庭和學(xué)校為一個共同的目標而共同努力時,我們將能取得令人驚喜的成就。
I encourage you to have hope and confidence in a bright future. I invite you to do your best work at home and school to "grow" your hopes.
我鼓勵你們對美好的未來充滿希望和信心,我邀請你們在家里和學(xué)校里盡最大的努力來“增長”自己的希望。
I also encourage everyone to study individual words and phrases carefully, including looking up definitions in excellent dictionaries, looking for noteworthy quotes from aphorisms, and writing down their own thoughts, experiences, and definitions. When you do this, your understanding will deepen and your memory will improve.
我也鼓勵大家仔細研究每個單詞和短語,包括在優(yōu)秀詞典中查找定義,尋找值得注意的格言引語,以及記下自己的思考、體驗過程和定義。當你這樣做的時候,你的理解會加深,你的記憶力也會提高。
