Day458-你的幸福掌握在自己手里

Some people assume that having a boyfriend or girlfriend is the ticket to happiness. They think   that it will make things lighter and easier because there's someone     there to make them feel content. Though relationships may have this effect, you have to note that if your happiness is dependent on someone else and this person doesn't meet those expectations, you'll end up more miserable than you started.有些人想当然以为，只要有男朋友或女朋友就会过得快乐。他们以为，到时候一切会变得容易而轻松，因为身边会有人安慰呵护他们。当然，恋爱确实能带来这些好处，但请别忘了：如果你把幸福托付给别人，一旦这个人达不到你的期望，你会超级受伤、悔不当初。It's your job to make yourself feel happy and fulfilled, with or without a partner. A relationship simply adds value to you but it shouldn't be the one that completes you.所以，不论有没有恋人，快乐和满足都只能靠你自己创造。恋爱只能为你增光添彩，却无法替代完整的你。Language focus 语言焦点 1.Assume  [ə'sjuːm] 认为，假设 ，承担·Assume： to think that something is true, although you do not have definite proof Eg：You didn’t answer my call, so I assumed that you were busy 你没有接我的电话，所以我以为你在忙2.assume responsibility /duty 承担责任3.content [kən'tent] 满意的 （adj）(V)·be content with 对。。。满意·be discontent with 对。。。不满意Eg：You have to content yourself with what you have 你必须满足于现状4.Be dependent on 依赖于Eg：Your happiness should not be dependent on someone else 你的幸福不要依赖于其他人  5.miserable  ['mɪz(ə)rəb(ə)l] 悲惨的，痛苦的Eg：She’s been quite miserable since her break-up.自从她分手后就一直很痛苦。6.Fulfilled 充实的，满足的Eg：I have fulfilled all the conditions to move on to the next level .我已经满足了进入下一个阶段的所有条件7.Add value to 为。。增值Eg：A good living and dietary habit could add value to our health 一个好的生活和饮食习惯能够为我们的健康增值。
