身处绝望的难处在于，我们会觉得自己完全清楚未来会发生什么。

How can we, from our vantage point under the bedclothes, tell what the rest of our lives will be like.

Have we got a crane from which to inspect the recesses of next summer?

Can we from here meet everyone we're going to be introduced to in the next 18 months?

Have we become clairvoyants as well?

Maybe that our partner left us is a disaster, or one of the most strangely fruitful things that will ever have happened to us.

That they aren't answering our calls could be a calamity, or five years from now an immense stroke of luck.

It's too early to tell.

How was today?

It may have been an ordinary, gentle day of no consequence whatsoever, or the moment when, without our noticing,

a thread was caught that will eventually unravel our lives.

It's too early to tell.

We say everything's lost, but we haven't got the right to speak for everything.

Maybe a betrayal opens us to the greatest love story we're ever going to experience.

And we might add, call no man unhappy till he dies either.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
