After a delicious catfish feast, my cousin and sister-in-law took Dongdong back to the dormitory of Tianhua Company. After the third sister checked the test papers and homework of the fourth child, she became furious and took him out to get an education.

.

Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi began to do the remaining homework.

English composition is much simpler than writing an article.

From a grammatical perspective, English and ancient Chinese are actually quite similar.

For example, "she was woken up by someone shouting outside." Translated in modern Chinese, it means "she was woken up by someone shouting outside."

The order of the words must change.

Not if translated into ancient Chinese.

Ancient Chinese can be arranged exactly the same as English, "somebody shouting outside" can be translated as "someone outside".

The whole sentence can be translated as "The woman woke up from a certain noise".

Of course, such an expression can easily lead to confusion, so the ancient text needs to be cut off and inverted, first emphasizing the part brought out by by, and finally translated as - "Someone is noisy outside, and the woman wakes up."

These actually belong to the category of comparative grammar, just like Zhou Zhi's translation of "son of a bitch" as "dog day" and "buck up" as "xiongqi", which belong to his special sensitivity to language.

So for Zhou Zhi, who is proficient in ancient Chinese grammar, modern English grammar is really not difficult at all.

The rest is vocabulary.

English composition is actually a test of these. If you express clearly with ordinary grammar, you will pass; if you can flexibly use various grammars, complex participle structures, and sentence structures, you will get high scores.

If there were a few more "idioms" and "proverbs", even if He Xiu wanted to deduct Zhou Zhi's points, he would not be able to find a reason.

For example, "no cross, no crown". Without the cross, there is no crown. In fact, it means "If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow?"

For example, "when the cat is away, the mouse will play." That means "there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king."

Moreover, these proverbs are often wonderful uses of English grammar, so Zhou Zhi now has a "Complete of English Proverbs" collected from Miss Wei Yi, and he mainly memorizes this.

It is both interesting and easy to remember; it can get bonus points for both grammar usage and content.

This is like "The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling, and the birds are saying morning, morning, morning." Suddenly, a piece of "The wind is beautiful and the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant." When He Xiu saw it for the first time, he was almost flashed.

Blinded.

The Chinese composition is even more ready. By breaking down "About Conscience" into three layers of "What is knowledge, what is conscience, and what leads to conscience", one article is ready.

These have been explained very clearly in Yangming’s Theory of Mind, so just take them out and organize them in your own language.

Of course, this is for weekend composition. If you are taking the college entrance examination, you will have to draw out the Western social philosophy and make a horizontal comparison, and then do an analysis of the universality of "good and evil". You have to emphasize the "goodness" here.

"Evil" is a concept within the broadest scope of a society's cognition, rather than referring to individuals alone.

If there is only one person in the world, then there is no distinction between "good and evil" for this person, and there is no concept of "conscience". Only in this way can your article be unbreakable.

Yangming's theory of mind is still very partial, so although most of Zhou Zhi's articles are "narrating the past", in Jiang Shuyi's opinion, they are very "new".

Looking at what he had written again, Jiang Shuyi frowned: "I messed up my writing."

In Zhou Zhi's opinion, Jiang Shuyi actually wrote well. At least he didn't write about how to defend conscience, which would be a serious deviation from the topic. Instead, he started with his own analysis and understanding of the concept of "conscience" and created a "conscience" first.

” is defined and then demonstrated.

Although the knowledge is not that great, at least the approach is correct.

"I think your writing is quite good. You have achieved what Teacher Xu said about 'meaningful'."

"But it still can't compare with yours."

"I'm just copying the wisdom of my predecessors, and it's not worth mentioning."

Finally, there is mathematics left. Girls’ spatial thinking ability is slightly poorer. When encountering problems like vectors, Jiang Shuyi cannot turn them into a mechanical analysis diagram in her mind, so she will encounter some difficulties.

After Zhou Zhi finished his special test questions, he helped Jiang Shuyi draw pictures on the draft paper to consolidate.

Vector is actually a mathematical model of mechanical analysis. After explaining this clearly to Jiang Shuyi, Jiang Shuyi suddenly understood, and the next step was easier.

In the evening, the eldest lady stayed with Jiang Shuyi to have a meal of fish soup noodles and watched the news broadcast together.

In the international news, the Gulf War ended quickly and in a devastating way, and the US military has begun to withdraw its 540,000 troops from the Persian Gulf.

The high-tech warfare style of multinational forces has also completely subverted the Chinese people's understanding of war.

The strategic projection capability of being able to deploy a brigade within ninety-six hours, a division within one hundred and twenty hours, and five divisions of combat troops within thirty days to any region of the world will undoubtedly demonstrate the power of unipolar power.

undoubtedly.

The 1.2 million "traditionally powerful" Republican Guards were wiped out with little effective resistance, which brought deep shock and worry to the whole world.

Gu Xuan

As for China's once-powerful neighbor, Pasteur's new thinking, apart from winning itself a Nobel Peace Prize, had no effect on the country's uplift.

But apart from adding trouble to Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi's political and current affairs test questions, these seemed to have little impact on them.

Zhou Zhi helped Jiang Shuyi carry her schoolbag. On the way to send Jiang Shuyi back, the two made an appointment to preview tonight and tomorrow morning, so that Jiang Shuyi could spend time with her parents.

When he arrived at Jiang Shuyi's house, Zhou Zhi took off his schoolbag and handed it to her: "You must be tired today, right? Shuyi, go to bed early. I will send you pig cake tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyi took the schoolbag and hugged it: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I am very happy today."

When Zhou Zhi returned to his eldest wife's house, he came to the window and looked towards Jiang Shuyi's house. Sure enough, he saw Jiang Shuyi still waiting there. Zhou Zhi popped up and waved goodbye to him before walking into the room.

Zhou Zhi also left the window, sat down at the round table, and started the night study mode with his third sister and fourth sister.

The fourth child was very happy this morning, but in the afternoon he was seriously injured, the kind that even a fat-gutted fish could not save.

The third sister dug out all the homework for the week and re-do all the wrong questions this week. The amount was several times that of the weekend homework!

The third sister, on the other hand, was studying her own mathematics, physics and chemistry, supervising her younger brother at close range, not even giving him a chance to be lazy.

Zhou Zhi watched "The Godfather" with ease.

Unfortunately, the question bank and top scorer notes arrived too late, and the remaining few months were obviously not enough.

Moreover, Zhou Zhi's set of learning methods are not suitable for the third sister, such as double-sided mathematical formula paper, which the top students took out when walking between classes and tested each other, which is a simple consolidation.

And every time the bad students learn it, they will think it is brand new knowledge and have to start from scratch to learn it.

Because I memorized it during the last class, I have almost forgotten it again during this class.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help the third sister solve this problem. He could only help the third sister and all his classmates solve the problems in ancient Chinese, that is, to understand it thoroughly and recite it easily.

For example, "Chibi Fu" and "Pipa Xing", when you understand the creative ideas behind the author's words, you will have a meridian; after you understand the meaning of the words, that is, the pearls pierced by the meridian, ancient Chinese texts are easier to memorize than modern texts.

hundred times.

Because it is also supported by phonological aesthetics, which is what the saying goes: "catchy".

After you have a thorough understanding, you don’t actually need to memorize it. You just need to read it once in the morning and once in the evening. After a week, you will naturally remember it.

When reading, you should pay attention to the method. Still taking "Red Cliff Ode" as an example, it should be read as "Renxu - Autumn, July - Jiwang, Su Zi - and guests - rafting, swimming under - Red Cliff

…”

This is actually the reading method used in private schools. One advantage is that it can clarify the section questions that are often encountered in the exam.

Through this method, a "sense of language" will naturally be formed, and when encountering unfamiliar paragraphs, they can be divided into subtle categories.

Another thing is to try to inspire thinking, such as this sentence in the lesson "Selected Excerpts of the Analects of Confucius".

"Zi Xia said: 'Educate yourself and be determined, ask questions carefully and think deeply, this is where benevolence lies.'"

The translation is: "Zixia said that benevolence lies in being well-read and studying widely, being able to stick to one's ambitions, asking questions sincerely, and thinking more about the current affairs."

The learning content required by the school ends here.

Seeing that the friends around him were all memorizing everything by heart, Zhou Zhi asked them a question: "Why did Zixia say that? Why can you get 'benevolence' as long as you are knowledgeable, diligent, and thoughtful? There is an inevitability between the two.

Where is the logical relationship?"

Mu Ruyun, Jiang Shuyi, and Zhang Xinyi were all stunned by just one question.

It can even be said that almost all students in the high school of Jiachuan Middle School can memorize and translate this sentence, but there are very few or almost no students who truly understand this sentence.

Such excerpts require only memorization and translation but no understanding. Even if they are memorized by heart, what use will they have?

Zhou Zhi doesn't have the time and energy to influence most people, so he can only share his personal understanding of this sentence with his friends around him.

"Book of Rites: The Doctrine of the Mean": "A benevolent person is a person who is kind to others."

"The Analects of Confucius·Yan Yuan": "Fan Chi asked Ren. Confucius said: 'Love people.'"

"Liu Shu Zhengzhi": "Yuan, from two, follows people. Benevolence follows people from two. In heaven, it is yuan, and in man, it is benevolence. The reason why people are spiritual in all things is benevolence."

So let’s first grasp the definition of “benevolence” and follow others’ second principles, that is, treat others with your own heart, compare your heart to your own heart, and do not do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.

It is very difficult to do it, but Confucianism also provides a solution, and the difficulty is suddenly reduced.

The first step is to treat one's own parents and brothers, which is called "first filial piety"; later, it is extended to teachers and friends, which is called "secondary sincerity".
