第四步：偉人偉招

　　1. 英勇無畏式

　　Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. (Marie Curie)

　　生活中沒有什么可怕的東西，只有需要理解的東西。(居里夫人)

　　【點評】這句話可用于提出問題的解決方法，比如說關于“global shortage of fresh water”，在提到如何應對時，不妨說：

　　Famous scientist Marie Curie once said, “Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood.” In the same ways, once we understand the causes of this phenomenon, we can confidently believe that we will solve the problem with the following means.

　　2. 熱情無限式

　　A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.

　　(C. M. Schwab)

　　只要有無限的熱情，一個人幾乎可以在任何事情上取得成功。(施瓦布)

　　【點評】用法和上句類似。

　　3. 理想遠大式

　　The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and also the determination to attain it. (Goethe)

　　人生重要的在于確立一個偉大的目標，并有決心使其實現。(歌德)

　　【點評】我們可以從歌德的話語里面，學到一個很好的句型：The important thing is to…, 不妨進一步學一個四級里面另兩個更受歡迎的句型：

　　(1) Nothing is + (adj).er than to + V. + …

　　Nothing is + more + 形容詞 + than to + V. + …

　　【例】Nothing is more important than to receive education. 沒有比接受教育更重要的事。

　　(2) What a + adj. + n. + S. + V.!= How + adj. + a + n. + V.!(多么…!)

　　What an important thing it is to keep our promise!

　　How important a thing it is to keep our promise!

　　遵守諾言是多么重要的事!
