Realizing your potential①
Hello, everyone! Welcome to senior high school!①Today is the start of a new term, the start of a threeyear journey and the start of a promising future.
①整体句子为“主系表”结构的简单句。三个名词性短语the start of ...作并列表语。介词of短语用作后置定语,修饰the start。
②I can't wait to② describe to you what senior high school life is like. The path before you leads to③ a world full of challenges④: a new environment, new knowledge and new ways of thinking.However, for those of you with a positive⑤ mind, opportunity lies in⑥ each challenge.③When you rise to⑦ the challenges, you will have the opportunity to acquire⑧ great knowledge and enjoy personal growth. Most importantly, your time and effort⑨ at senior high school will open the door to your potential.
②本句是主从复合句。句中what引导宾语从句。此处what ...is like可翻译为“……的样子”。
③本句是主从复合句。when引导时间状语从句,不定式短语to acquire...growth作后置定语,修饰the opportunity。
“What is potential?” you may ask.④Put simply, potential is your natural ability that can be developed when you try hard enough. ⑤Who knows what beautiful works of art you will create, what medical advances⑩ you will make or what amazing⑪ technologies you will develop! The possibilities are endless, and I have confidence⑫ in your ability to make a difference⑬ to your family, to your community⑭ and to our country.Over the next three years, you will discover your potential while you develop as a student and as a person.
④本句是主从复合句。that引导定语从句,修饰先行词your natural ability;when引导时间状语从句。
⑤本句是主从复合句。what引导三个并列的宾语从句。
⑥To fully realize your potential, it is important for you to make the most of⑮ our school resources. Take advantage of⑯ your classes, learn from your teachers and classmates, and make use of our school facilities⑰.There are also a lot of school activities for you.Join a club or two, and take an active part in⑱ different sports.
⑥本句结构是“It is+形容词+for sb to do sth”,句中it是形式主语,真正主语是后面的动词不定式。
⑦Of equal⑲ importance are good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude⑳. Carefully plan your study, set clear goalsB21 and balanceB22 your schoolwork with other activities.As a senior high school student, you must make efforts to improveB23 your communication and problemsolving skills.Last but not leastB24, always look on the bright sideB25 and never lose hope, even in difficult situations.⑧In time you will find yourself growing into a wellroundedB26 individualB27.
⑦“表语(介词短语)+连系动词+主语”,构成完全倒装句。本句正常语序是Good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude are of equal importance.
⑧本句是“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,现在分词短语growing into a wellrounded individual作宾语补足语。
⑨As Lao-Tzu wisely said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” You need to make a continuous effort to train your mind and develop your characterB28.Senior high school will help you learn and grow, yet you alone are responsibleB29 for realizing your great potential.Be confident, do your best and make us proud!
⑨本句是主从复合句。as引导非限制性定语从句指代后面整个句子,此处as 意为“正如”,as从句可移到主句之后,as起到连接上下文的作用,表达说话人的观点、看法,并指出主句内容。
