One of the effective ways is to brush up on grammar rules a little bit everyday. There is simply no short cut. 我无法一下子就能想起这些英文单词。学英语最好是每天复习一点语法，学习是没有捷径的。off hand，随手想起。brush up on 常常复习。b) 坚持不懈，集腋成裘：“Precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, idea by idea,”（一次学一条，这里学一点，那里学一点，一次接触一个思想）。c) 或者我们可以说：A little at a time, we can eat up an elephant eventually.（一次吃一口，我们最终可以把头大象给吞了。） d) It is a big job, but we can get it done. （学英语）这个工作巨大，但我们可以把它做好。e) 所以不要相信那些100天就可以把英语学好的广告。如果有学生或一位网友100天可以学好英语的话，那信老师不就要失业了？

I'll see you. 得走了，再见。It's getting late - I'd better hit the road. 太晚了，我得走了。50. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. 神却拣选了世上愚拙的，叫有智慧的羞愧。又拣选了世上软弱的，叫那强壮的羞愧。（1Cor. 1:27）foolish things 这里指foolish people，那种在世俗人眼里看是去很愚蠢的人，实际上是具备崇高品格的人。那些舍身为弱势群体打官司，最后把自己都赔进监狱的人就是这种人，例如许志永。

Mr. Right: 白马王子，He's gentle, patient, successful, and mature. I think he's my Mr. Right! 他温柔体贴，有耐心，成功又成熟。我知道他就是我的意中人(我未来的丈夫非他莫属；也可以说是真命天子）。（白马王子的另一个说法：prince charming）I feel he is the one.我感到他就是那一位。69. Jack 对朋友John说，I just broke up with Esther. 他刚刚与Esther拜拜了。John 安慰Jack说, I don't know what to say to comfort you, but cheer up! There's plenty of fish in the sea and you'll find your soul mate, your perfect match!我不知道要如何安慰你，但振作点吧，大海里有的是鱼，你肯定会找到你的心灵伴侣，你的意中人。plenty of fish又可作other fish. There are other fish in the sea. 你还有机会会找到其他意中人的。break off 也是“分手”的意思。He is wondering how to break off with his girl friend without having that nasty conversation. 他一直在想，如何与女朋友分手，而又不必谈得那么刀光剑影。70. The Golden Rule: Love your neighbor as yourself. 黄金律：爱人如己。（Luke 10：27）Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; 你要尽心，尽性，尽力爱耶和华你的神。(Deut. 6:5) (Lev. 19:18)爱神是一种抽象的牵引，爱邻居是每日的落实。只爱神不爱邻居，这种爱会变得虚伪，只爱邻居而不爱神，这种爱会变得功利。

My heart has been crushed so many times before, I have almost lost count. It seems like every four years I get in a serious relationship with a new guy; it starts with infatuation but he invariably turns out to be a boozer, an abuser, or a loser, and I am left to pick up the pieces. 我的心多次破碎，数都数不过来了。好像我是每四年就会交一个前景不错的男子做朋友，开始热烈，后来却发现这家伙令人失望，酒鬼，打老婆，一事无成。我只好独自收拾破碎的感情。77.

Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love. John 13:1逾越节以前，耶稣知道自己离世归父的时候到了。他既爱世间属自己的人，就爱他们到底。Passover Feast（逾越节）是犹太人一个非常重要的节日，其重要性相当于中国人的春节。the Father 这里指上帝，犹太人与基督徒都认为上帝是他们的父亲。the full extent 最大限度，We need to prosecute the corrupt officials to the full extent of the law. 我们应该在法律许可的最大程度范围内来惩罚贪官。

He always looks deep in my eyes and says "thank you" in that smoky baritone, and I swear I think I'm going to melt. 他总是深情款款地看着我的双眼，用一种梦幻般的男中音说，谢谢你。我发誓，我都要融化了。注意，这里的look in 不能用look at 来代替。82.

John is seeing another woman, so I kicked him to the curb. 你与约翰的关系怎样了？他跟另一个女人好上了，所以我把他给踢了。kick to the curb, 男女关系中一方把另一方给甩了，就是dump的意思，此词也可以意为“解雇”：A woman was kicked to the curb by the company for finding drug use in her hair sample. 公司解雇了一位女职工，因为在化验头发时，发现了她在使用毒品。84.

When you meet someone you like, tell her/him. Don’t be afraid. It is normal to get knocked out. Expect to get rebuffed or rejected. 如果你喜欢上了一个人，就去告诉他/她好了。不要怕，如果被拒绝那是再正常不过的事。做好心理准备，会遭白眼。knock out, 是拳击里的术语，把谁给放倒了，get knocked out, 就是你去约别人时，被拒绝了。再看这句：Don't get knocked out in the second round of layoffs. 不要在第二轮解雇潮时给踢了。87. Tell your boyfriend that you want the whole enchilada and will end the relationship if he does not step up. enchilada 是一种西班牙食品，类似我们的春卷，要整个的enchilada就是“要全部”的意思。“告诉你男朋友，他不能这么三心二意的，如果他不再完全投入的话，你就跟他断绝往来了。”We had the flowers, the speeches, the presents - the whole enchilada. 我们得到了鲜花、贺辞、礼物，总之应有尽有。enchilada也可以作“老板”解释：Ask the big enchilada what he really means. 问问大老板他究竟怎样打算。88.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈。爱是不嫉妒。爱是不自夸。不张狂。不作害羞的事。不求自己的益处。不轻易发怒。不计算人的恶。不喜欢不义。只喜欢真理。凡事包容。凡事相信。凡事盼望。凡事忍耐。爱是永不止息。（林前13：4-8）这段话是对爱的最好的诠释。
