第18课:慷慨大方的 - 11

迷你小对话

A: Mr. Turnbill was so generous! He gave twice as much as anyone else at the fund raiser.
B: Yes, but he was not very cheerful about it. He complained to everyone that he was giving because he felt guilty.
A: I didn’t know that. I prefer ungrudging giving, even when the gift is small, don’t you?

A: Turnbill先生可真慷慨!募捐的时候,他捐的 钱是其他人的两倍。
B: 是啊,不过对此他并不是太高兴。他向每个人都抱怨说他之所以捐钱是因为他有一种负罪感。
A: 这我可不知道。我觉得还是心甘情愿地捐赠比较好,哪怕只是很少的捐赠,你认为呢?

语言点精讲

fund raiser: 募捐会。
generous: 慷慨的,大方的。
ungrudging: 不勉强的,无怨言的,真心实意的。
