I pray with every fiber of my being that our President will realign his priorities after such a tragic event.
我身上的每个细胞都在祈求上天：但愿我们的总统看到这场悲剧后能改弦更张，重新调整他的工作重心。

字里行间

every fiber原本指人体的每个细胞组织，one's being则是全身心的意思。这个短语既可以优雅地出现在庄重的社交场合，也可以在随心所欲的私人交谈中使用。

every fiber of one's being通常与带有强烈感情和鼓动性的动词，如pray， appeal等，一起连用，来渲染语句要表达的感情色彩。例如：We're all praying for our success with every fiber of our being.（我们全身心向上苍祈求我们的成功。）

弦外之音

欲在美国社交场合或是主流社会练就谈吐自如、如鱼得水的本领，就要学会在适当的时候表现自己的诙谐幽默。有一种表达幽默的方法，就是用庄重严肃的词语来说明一件其实无关紧要的事。比如将听上去冠冕堂皇且郑重其事的every fiber of one's being与一个微不足道的话题联用，常常会令人意想不到，忍俊不禁： All of us are appealing to the ultimate authority of the board of directors with every fiber of our being that you become the chef in our cafeteria.（我们大家都使出吃奶的力气向董事会强烈呼吁让你出任我们食堂的大厨。）
