《America the Story of Us》

America The Story of Us is an epic 12-hour television event that tells the extraordinary story of how America was invented. With highly realistic CGI animation, dramatic recreations and thoughtful insights from some of America’s most respected artists, business leaders, academics and intellectuals, it is the first television event in nearly 40 years to present a comprehensive telling of America’s history. Elaborate, ambitious and cinematic, America The Story of Us will take you into the moments when Americans harnessed technology to advance human progress, from the rigors of linking the continent by transcontinental railroad–the internet of its day–to triumphing over vertical space through the construction of steel structured buildings to putting a man on the moon. It is an intensive look at the people, places and things that have shaped our nation, and the tough and thrilling adventure that is America’s 400-year history。

进入夏天，我又要来唠叨了：

天气炎热，我们的食欲变得更不活跃，

进食的欲望可能更少一点，

就要记住，“你不需要强撑着吃完任何食物”。

我们总说要感恩和尊重食物，不要浪费，

然而真相是，

进食前的“期待”

以及进食后“想象感受每一个细胞都在被食物滋养”，

“take advantage of”

如果你的意识在别处，那是肯定做不到这一点的，

那食物存在的意义才被抹杀，这才是浪费。

夏天是个非常好的机会，

让我们伴着并不活跃的肠胃，慢慢进食，

感受兴奋与抑制的变化和区别。
