Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 78 Learning
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 dragged him out to receive education. .

And Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi started to do the rest of the homework.

English composition is much simpler than writing articles.

From a grammatical point of view, in fact, English and ancient Chinese have quite a lot in common.

For example, "She was woken up by somebody shouting outside." Translated in modern Chinese, it means "She was woken up by somebody 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, and "Somebody shouting outside" can be translated as "Somebody shouting outside".

The whole sentence can be translated as "the woman wakes up outside a certain noise".

Of course, such an expression would easily lead to confusion, so the ancient text has to be disconnected and flipped, first emphasizing the part brought out by by, and finally translated as-"Someone is making noise 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" into "狗日" and "BUCK UP" into "Xiongqi", it belongs 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 for these tests. If you can express clearly with ordinary grammar, you can pass; if you can flexibly use various grammar, complex word segmentation structures, and sentence structures, you can get high marks.

If there were a few more "idioms" and "proverbs", then even if He Xiu wanted to deduct points from Zhou Zhi, she would find no reason.

For example, "No cross, no crown", there is no crown without a cross, which actually means "how can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain".

For example, "When the cat is away, the mice will play." That is "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings."

Moreover, these proverbs are often wonderful uses of English grammar, so Zhou Zhi now has a copy of "Encyclopedia of English Proverbs" that he found from Wei Yi's sister, and he mainly memorizes this.

It is both interesting and easy to remember; it can not only get extra points for the use of grammar, but also get extra points for the content.

It's like "the sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling slightly, and the birds are saying early morning", suddenly there is an article "the wind is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant". When He Xiu saw it for the first time, he was almost flashed. Blind.

Chinese composition is even more ready-made. Disassemble "About Conscience" into three layers of "what is knowledge, what is conscience, and how to get conscience", and one article is done.

And these have been explained very clearly in Yangming Xinxue, just move them out and organize them in your own language.

Of course, this is for weekend essays. For the college entrance examination, we have to pull out the Western social philosophy to make a horizontal comparison, and then analyze the universality of "good and evil", emphasizing the "good" here. "Evil" is a concept within the widest range of cognition in society, rather than referring to individuals alone.

If there is only one person in this world, then there is no distinction between "good and evil" in this person, and there is no concept of "conscience". Only in this way can one's own articles be unbreakable.

Yangming's psychology is still very partial nowadays, so although most of Zhou Zhi's articles are "narrating the ancient times", in Jiang Shuyi's view, they are very "fashionable".

Looking at what she wrote again, Jiang Shuyi frowns: "I screwed up."

From Zhou Zhi's point of view, Jiang Shuyi's writing is actually pretty good, at least writing about how to defend conscience before it comes up, which is actually a serious deviation from the topic.Instead, start with your own analysis and understanding of the concept of "conscience", first create a definition of "conscience", and then demonstrate it.

Although knowledge is not very clever, but at least the way is right.

"I think your writing is quite good. The four words of 'speaking with substance' that Mr. Xu said have already been achieved."

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

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

In the end, there is still mathematics. Girls' spatial thinking ability is slightly weaker. When encountering problems such as vectors, Jiang Shuyi cannot turn them into a mechanical analysis diagram in his mind, so he will encounter some difficulties.

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

A vector is actually a mathematical model of mechanical analysis. After explaining this to Jiang Shuyi clearly, Jiang Shuyi suddenly understood, and the next step will be easy.

In the evening, the eldest sister stayed with Jiang Shuyi to eat fish noodle soup, and watched the news broadcast together.

According to international news, the Gulf War ended in a devastating manner, and the US army has begun to withdraw 54 troops in the Persian Gulf.

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

The ability to deploy a brigade within 96 hours, a division within 120 hours, and five divisions within 30 days to any region of the world is a strategic projection capability that undoubtedly demonstrates the strength of unipolar power.

The fate of the 120 million "traditional strong army" Republican Guard, which had little effective resistance, was wiped out, which brought deep shock and worry to the whole world.

As for China's once powerful neighbor, Bashi's new thinking, except for winning a Nobel Peace Prize for himself, has no effect on cheering up the country.

But apart from adding troubles to Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi's political and current affairs test questions, these seem to have no other impact on the two.

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 accompany her parents.

When he came to Jiang Shuyi's house, Zhou Zhi took off his schoolbag and handed it to her: "You must be tired today? Shuyi, go to bed early, and I'll bring you Zhuerba tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyi took the schoolbag and hugged it: "Thank you Zhou Zhi, I am very happy today."

When Zhou Zhi returned to the lady's house, he went to the window and looked at Jiang Shuyi's house. Sure enough, he saw Jiang Shuyi was still waiting there. Seeing Zhou Zhi popping up, he waved goodbye to him before entering 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 child.

The fourth child was very happy this morning, but was severely damaged in the afternoon.

The third sister dug out all the homework for the week, and re-do all the wrong questions this week. The amount is several times that of the weekend homework!
And the third sister was studying her mathematics, physics and chemistry, supervising her younger brother at close range, and didn't even give her a chance to be lazy.

Zhou Zhi watched "The Godfather" lightly.

It's a pity that the question bank and the champion's notes arrived too late, and the remaining months were obviously not enough.

And Zhou Zhi's set of learning methods is not suitable for the third sister. For example, the double-sided math formula slips, which the top students take out during the walk between classes and test each other, is a simple consolidation.

And every time the scumbags find out, they will feel that it is brand new knowledge every time, and they have to memorize it from scratch.

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

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

For example, "Red Cliff Fu" and "Pipa Xing", when you know the author's creative thinking behind the words, you will have the meridian; after you figure out the meaning of the words, that is, the pearls pierced by the meridian, ancient Chinese is easier to memorize than modern Chinese hundred times.

Because it is also supported by phonological aesthetics, which is also known as "catchy".

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

Pay attention to the method when reading, and still take "Red Cliff Fu" as an example, it should be read as "Jenxu—Autumn, July—Ji Wang, Su Zi—and guests—boating, swimming under the Red Cliff ..."

This is actually the way of reading in private schools. One advantage is that it can clarify the sub-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 subtly divided.

Another thing is to try to inspire thinking, for example, there is such a sentence in the lesson "Selected Parts of the Analects".

"Zi Xia said: 'Learn eruditely and earnestly, ask earnestly and think deeply, and benevolence is in it.'"

The translation is: "Zixia said, read widely and learn widely, and be able to stick to one's ambitions, ask questions earnestly, and think more about current affairs, and benevolence is in it."

The learning content required by the school ends here.

Seeing that the friends around him were all memorized by heart, Zhou Zhi asked them a question: "Why did Zixia say that? Why can you get 'benevolence' as long as you are erudite and earnestly ask questions? There is an inevitable relationship between the two. Where is the logical relationship?"

Mu Ruyun, Jiang Shuyi, and Zhang Xinyi were all fooled by asking a single question.

It can even be said that in the high school of Jiachuan Middle School, almost all the students can recite this sentence and can translate this sentence, but there are very few or even almost none who really understand this sentence.

Such an excerpt requires memorization of translation but not comprehension, so even if you memorize it fluently, what is the use?

Zhou Zhi didn't have the mind and energy to influence most people, so he could only tell his friends his personal understanding of this sentence.

"Book of Rites: The Doctrine of the Mean": "The benevolent is also a human being, and be kind to others."

"The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan": "Fan Chi asked about benevolence. The Master said: 'Love people.'"

"Six Books Zhengxu": "Yuan, follow the two and follow the people. Ren follows the people and follows the two. Heaven is Yuan, and people are benevolence. The reason why people are spiritual in all things is benevolence."

Therefore, grasp the definition of "benevolence" first, follow others and follow two, that is, one's own heart and one's own heart, compare one's heart to another's heart, and do not do to others what one does not want.

It is very difficult to do it, but Confucianism has also given a solution, and the difficulty has been reduced all of a sudden.

The first step is to start with treating one’s own parents and brothers, which is called “first filial piety”; and later expanded to teachers and friends, which is called “second filial piety”.

This is actually observation theory, practice theory, and methodology.
