Every minute of my life is no longer meaningless as it was before, but has a positive meaning of goodness, with which I have the power to invest it.

語音講解：

今日發音練習重點：

1. goodness不要發成“姑內”：good為松元音/ʊ/；ness包含單元音/ɪ/

2. to invest 連讀帶出/w/音

言之有物：

1. as it was before 像以前一樣

詞鏈兒：

as it is 像其原本這樣

as it was 像以前那樣

It's good enough as it is.

就像現在這樣就很好。

The construction industry is no longer as depressed as it was.

建筑業不再像以往那樣蕭條了。

My stand on this is just the same as it was four years ago.

我對此事的立場與4年前的無異。

So let's leave it as it is.

所以咱們就這樣吧。

...as hard as this is.

2. has a positive meaning of goodness 有著良善的積極意味

with which I have the power to invest it

=I have the power to invest my life with the positive meaning of goodness.
