Receiving text messages is the third,

Just a few words,

Come out, I'll wait for you at the intersection,

Please cherish those who don't play with their mouth,

Because it's better to be true than to be perfect,

Whether life, love or friendship,

All need a person who can do, not just say, cherish the people around you who do what they say for you, not the people who draw cakes for you!

One time when my friends first immigrated to US, I posted on a local FaceBook group asking for help. Among many, many messages offering help, one woman - her name was Debbie - told me she has a little bit of bread and milk but I would have to come and get it. So, I drove to her home. I walk in and her entire spacious living room is filled with food - boxes and boxes of meats, bread, eggs, fruits, cakes, even flowers. After I picked my jaw off the floor, she told me to help myself and get as much food as I need. She helped me fill the trunk of my car with food. It turned out she worked with local grocery stores where instead of throwing away food that was perfectly fine but didn’t sell right away, they would donate it to people in need. It’s usually the most expensive and organic food, too!After that and for several more months, Debbie kept giving us food. Sometimes when I come across another family in need, I would get food for them from her too. She would even drive it to their homes when they didn’t have a car. One day I asked her: “Debbie, why did you say that you have ‘a little bit of milk’ when you have a huge amount of food?” She told me that she only wants to help people who are truly in so much need, they would come over for just milk and bread.For my friends’ first Christmas, Debbie went out and got them boxes and boxes of presents, for each family member. I got them a tree and decorations. They were super surprised, as they are Muslims and don’t celebrate Christmas. But the kids were over the moon.Eventually, we became friends. Aside from helping people, Debbie also fosters kids from abusive homes. She loves them and takes care of them better than I take care of my own kids, despite their emotional and behavioral issues. And despite the state occasionally taking the kids back to original parents until they get discarded again, thereby ripping her heart up in a thousand pieces.

learn和study

learn 和study均为动词,是我们书面和口语中常用的单词。下面就其使用注意点进行分析。

learn的意思是“学习,学,学会”,侧重于学习的结果,指通过他人教授和自己练习或者是从经验当中获得知识和技巧。表示“向……学习”时只能用learn from,不能用study。但是做“学习”讲的时候,这两个词可以互换使用。比如:

How did you learn to bake cakes? 你是怎么学会烤蛋糕的?How many English words have you learned?你学了多少英语单词?We are learning English.我们在学习英语。这句话的learn也可以换成study。

What can we learn from the artist? 我们能从这位艺术家身上学到什么?What can the young learn from older people?年轻人能从老年人那里学到什么?

study可以指“学习,攻读,研究”,指学习一门或多门课程,侧重于学习过程及较高深的或者是周密的研究学习的对象,往往是科学艺术或者是它需要深入探讨的学科。比如:

Kids would rather play than study.孩子们宁愿玩而不愿学习。She's got into Peking University to study law.她被录取到北京大学学习法律。It's important to study hard, but don't overdo it.刻苦学习很重要,但不要超过极限。These proposals deserve careful study.这些建议值得认真研究。
