J. Wallis1 Criticism comes in various forms and from various sources. It could come from your parents, your boss, your friends, or your teachers. No matter who makes the negative comments or how theyre said, criticism stings. We feel hurt, we get angry, and we get defensive! But criticism isnt necessarily a bad thing. As author Norman Vincent Peale once said, “The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” 2 The question isnt if we will be criticized. The question is: How will we handle it when we are?,Part IIReading Text A,Text A1,1) Does criticism come from various sources? Whom does criticism come from?,Yes it does. Criticism generally comes from your parents, your boss, your friends, or your teachers.,2) How do people feel when they are criticized?,Usually they feel hurt, they get angry, and they get defensive.,Question1,Paras. 1-2 of Text AQuestions about These Paragraphs,3) What did Norman Vincent Peale once say about most of us?,Most of us would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.,批评有各种不同的形式和各种不同的来源。它可能来自你的父母、你的老板、你的朋友或你的老师。不管是谁做的消极评论或具体是怎么说的，批评都是让人心痛的。我们会感觉受到了伤害，我们会发怒，我们会变得有戒心！但批评未必是一个坏东西。正如作家诺曼文森特皮尔曾经说过的：“我们大多数人的问题在于我们宁愿被赞扬毁灭也不愿被批评拯救。” 问题不是我们会不会受到批评。问题是：当我们受到批评时，我们将怎样对待它？,Chinese Version,Chinese Version,批评：不要把它看作是对你的人身攻击TJ沃利斯,It could come from your parents, your boss, your friends, or your teachers. 它可能来自你的父母、你的老板、你的朋友或你的老师。本句中， could是情态动词而非实义动词过去式，不表示过去一般的能力，而表示对现在或将来的推测，表示可能性，用could使语气更委婉些。,It could come .,Notes,The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. 我们大多数人的问题在于我们宁愿被赞扬毁灭也不愿被批评拯救。would rather (do sth.) than (do sth. else)的句型表示“宁愿而不愿，与其宁可”的意思，than后接不带to的动词不定式。若than后面的动词相同，那么相同的部分可以省略。此句would rather be ruined by praise than (be) saved by criticism中，省略了be。此外，使用would rather than句型时要用“平行结构”，即在than 的前后要用两个同类的词或词组，如两个名词、两个不定式、两个介词短语等。更多例子见Structure练习部分。,The trouble with .,Notes,The question is: How will we handle it when we are? 问题是：当我们受到批评时，我们将怎样对待它？冒号通常用于对后面内容的介绍或解释。冒号之后的词可用大写或小写字母开头。如果冒号之后的词是另一个完整句子的开始，则用大写字母开头。反之，如果冒号之后的词只是句子的一部分，则用小写字母开头。本句子最后when we are应视作when we are criticized的省略形式。,The question is .,Notes,criticism / n. the act of expressing disapproval or a statement showing disapproval 批评,criticism,Language Points,e.g.,I accepted his criticism of my behavior.
