Unit 9 Facing Life’s Challenges
300 Hurdles
① Life may give you a negative, but don't despair - it may just develop into a beautiful picture one day. This year, I realized my theory that I have on life. Life is like a 300m hurdle race. Since I run the 300m hurdles, I would know what the race is like.
② The first thing to any race is worrying about whether you are going to win or not. This relates to worrying about the petty things in life. Does it really matter if you win? Is it really going to be the end of the world? Or will you be upset if you lose and then forget about it? (1)In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little. (承上总结句)
③ (2)Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes. We each start at different spots, but the race is still the same distance for everyone.(承上启下句) (3)This relates to our lives taking us to different places and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place, but maybe at different times.
④ Now comes the beginning of the race. We all try to keep up with everyone and pace ourselves with other people. (4)This symbolizes that at times in everyone's lives we worry, about fitting in or being the same as other people, instead of worrying about being unique. If everyone were the same, the world would be incredibly boring.
本部分重点及难点：
1. In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little.
生活中，我们担心得太多，而活在当下太少。
2. Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes.
接下来的一步就是在我们自己的跑道站好，也就是各就各位。
3. This relates to our lives taking us to different places and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place, but maybe at different times.
(1) relate to 涉及，有关
(2) taking us to different places和putting us in different situations的逻辑主语都是our lives，作relate to的宾语。
(3) end up in the same place 在同一个地方结束，即有同样的结局
end up in prison / in debts
end up begging
end up as a beggar / prisoner
4. This symbolizes that at times in everyone's lives we worry, about fitting in or being the same as other people, instead of worrying about being unique.
(1) at times: sometimes
(2) fit in:合得来，适应
(3) instead of: rather than
⑤ Now comes the first hurdle. This hurdle is the easiest to get over because you are not worn out from running. We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizes those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so. You can look at that hurdle in two ways: "I can't make it over, I'm too tired" or "I am one more hurdle closer to finishing this race". This is an example of taking a negative situation and seeing something positive in it.(承上句)
⑥ The next part of the race is every hurdle between the first and last one. (主题句)These hurdles get tougher and tougher and you may feel as though you can't go on. This happens a lot in life too.(承上启下句)There may be a situation that arises where you feel as though you can't make it and all you can think about is giving up. You may fall over that "hurdle" or struggle getting over it, but somehow you find it in yourself to jump over it and move on with the race.
⑦ Next is that last 100m of the race. You feel as though you just want to say, "No I can't do this." (5)Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.
本部分重点及难点：
5. Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.
(1) find it in yourself that you can do it，it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是that从句。
(2) you must finish the race stronger than…，stronger是主语的补语，说明主语的状态。例如：
He died young / poor.
名词也可以作主语的补语，说明主语的状态。例如：
He died a beggar.
She came from her marriage a stronger person.
⑧ Now lastly is the last hurdle. This hurdle is the toughest out of all of them. (6)In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we feel like we have been through enough and there's no hope. That last hurdle symbolizes these situations.(承上句)It's one step close to the end of the race.
⑨ Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, but step by step. (7) "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch."
本部分重点及难点：
6. In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we feel like we have been through enough and there's no hope.
生活中，我们发现自己不断跌倒，为种种问题所困扰，感觉自己历经重重磨难，仍然看不到希望。
(1) find oneself falling and falling，现在分词作宾补。(可参考Unit 7, Text A)再如：
When he came to, he found himself lying in hospital.
He found himself surrounded by several boys.
(2) be through 经过，历经;完成，结束(可参考Unit 5, Text B)
7. "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch."
一码一码地，生活很困难。但是一英寸一英寸地来，生活只是小菜一碟。即生活中我们要一步一个脚印，循序渐进。(注：1 yard=0.9144 meter, 1 inch=2.54 centimeters)
⑩ (8)All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.
本部分重点及难点：
8. All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.
(1) all=all that=what
(2) at a time: separately一次，依次，每次
Take the pills two at a time.
区分：at one time: formerly一度，从前
At one time I used to go skiing every winter.
