二．课文重点短语，句子分析、讲解：precily
1. Becau once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. (P2L3)
译文：因为一旦我们接受了这一事实，生活的艰辛就不再重要了。bill gates
语言点：once一旦，引导的是时间状语从句，the fact that 。。。是一个同位语从句，具体解释fact的内容。Matter在这里是动词，重要的意思。
短语：no longer不再。。。
如：She is no longer a child, so she can take good care of herlf.
2. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy.
译文：相反，他们一直公开地或私底下地抱怨生活中的问题太多，负担太重，困难太大了，听起来就好像生活一向是轻松的，或者说好像生活应该是轻松的。
语言点：本句中的as if后面用的仍然是虚拟语气，非真实情况。
如：He acts as if he knew me for a long.
wonderful world
3. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties reprent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or el upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race, or even their species, and not upon others.
译文：他们直接地或委婉地表示，他们遇到的困难是一种特殊的痛苦，这种痛苦原本是不应该有的，但是不知是什么原因，专门降临到他们身上，或者偏爱他们的家人，他们的部落，他们的阶层，他们的民族，他们的种族，甚至他们那一类人，而不是降临到别人的头上。
语言点：voice在这里是动词，表达，说出；第一个that后面的是宾语从句，而第二, 三个that 后面是定语从句。Somehow副词，不知什么原因；upon介词，在。。。上。
4. Life is a ries of problems. Do you want to moan about them or solve them?
译文：生活就是一系列的问题。我们是抱怨呢还是解决它们呢？
固定搭配：a ries of一系列的。。。；moan about= complain about抱怨。。。
5. Discipline is the basic t of tools we require to solve life’s problems.
译文：自制力是必要的基本工具，它用来解决我们生活中出现的各种问题。
语言点：the basic t of tools一套基本工具；we require to solve life’s problems是定语从句，修饰tools，关系代词被省略了。
6. What makes life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving problems is a painful one.
译文：生活的艰辛之处就在于，面对困难，解决困难的过程是痛苦的，
语言点：What makes life difficult 主语从句做句子的主语；that后面的是一个表语从句；其中the process of confronting and solving problems是从句的主语。
7. Problems, depending upon their nature, evoke in us frustration of grief, sadness, loneliness, guilt,
regret, anger, fear, anxiety, anguish, or despair.
译文：因为问题的性质不同，所以会使我们感到悲痛，伤心，孤独，内疚，悔恨，愤怒，恐惧，苦恼或者失望。
语言点：depending upon their nature现在分词短语作原因状语；介词of 后面的都是名词，表示各种情绪。
短语：depend on/upon依靠，取决于。。。
8. The are uncomfortable feelings, often very uncomfortable, often as painful as any kind of physical pain, sometimes equaling the very worst kind of physical pain.
四六级考试网
译文：这些都是让人不舒服的感觉，非常不舒服。就如同身体的疼痛一样，有时甚至等于身体上最大的疼痛。
