【小編寄語】詞典不是最重要的,關鍵在于語境。可以說,單詞沒有多少實際運用的價值,機械記憶的單詞量再大,也不會真正提高你的外語水平。因此,從今天開始,可可聽力頻道針對“零英語”基礎的朋友們,專門推出這檔“聽基礎單詞,練聽力”的節目。每天我們之需要你聽懂一個詞,并提供一段相應的對話,加深大家的印象。相信滴水可以穿石,付出總會有收獲的!

【Transcript】
Smile is the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I tell this story in my work because I’d like people to consider that underneath all the layers we construct to protect ourselves, our dignity, our titles, our degrees, our status and our need to be seen in certain ways―underneath all that remains the authentic, essential self.
I’m not afraid to call it the soul. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear.
I sadly conclude that all those other layers, which we so carefully construct through our lives, distance and insulate us from truly contacting others.
【注】authentic a. 可信的;insulate v. 隔離
