我們把這些階段想象為嬰兒在童年之前，中年在老年之前每個階段都會面臨一系列特有的挑戰， 如孩子對學習的需要， 成人對找到合適的職業生涯和建立一個家庭的需要，以及年長者對得到幫助和良好醫療保健的需要。 通過對它們的充分解，我們就可以戰勝這些挑戰。Mostofusknowaboutthephasesoflifewhichwelabeltoparalleldifferentagegroupsandlifestages:childhood,adolescence,adulthood,andoldage.(Para.1)Meaning:

構成獨立主格結構，主要用作狀語，可以表示伴隨、方式、因、時間等。with之后的名詞和其后的現在分詞構成主謂關系， 其中現在分詞表示主動或正在進行的動作例如：Shesatdownatthetable,witheachdishemittingadelicioussmell.

由于我們的食物即將吃完，我們不得不步行到一個村子尋求幫助。（狀語表示原因）Withsummercoming,itisbecominghotterandhotter. 隨著夏季來臨，天氣變得越來越熱。（狀語表示時間）Usagenote: peculiar,characteristic,unusualpeculiar,characteristic 和unusual 都可用作形容詞，都含有表示有特點的；有特色的等思，但有細微差別。從詞義上說，r 著重獨特性，強調與眾不同的特征；characteristic 常強調所指性質的典型性,也可以表示這些性質使某一事物區別于其他的事物； l 強調少見的與通常的情況截然不同的或未曾預料的特征。例如：Thewinehasapeculiartaste. 這種酒有種獨特的味道。Itscharacteristicofherthatshenevercomplained. 從來不發牢騷是她的個性。Itwasnotunusualformetocomehomeattwoorthreeinthemorning. 我來說是很平常的事。從用法上說，r 通常和介詞to 搭配，表示為某人或某物所特有；characteristic通常和介詞f搭配，表示某物或某人有?特性、特征、特色 ；l 通常和介詞for配，表示對?不同尋常。例如：Greatmindsingenerallookatlifeinawaypeculiartothemselves. 家都以自己獨特的眼光來看待生活。Withthefriendlyandgenerouscaresocharacteristicofthesepeople,theyopenedtheirhousetoover50guests. 這些人以特有的友好和慷慨關愛，在家接待了

一百年前，誰也沒想到過青春期。 直到最近，人們還很自然地認為：只要他們一從大學畢業，他們的成人入門階段就結束了。 他們就會找到一份把他們引入職業生涯的合適的工作。 然后在此職業涯期間，他們會成家，三十歲之前成家更為理想。Inprevioustimes,peopledidn

60年代或70年代之前的人們往往會將成年的概念基于是否取得了某些成就：從父母家搬走，經濟上獨立，找到合適的配偶并組織家庭。 但是，對穩定的強調沒能保持不變。今天，年輕人不太可能仿效他們的父母。 在奧德賽歲月中，相當比例的年輕人都推遲結婚、生子，甚至推遲就業。Peoplewhowerebornpriortothe60sor70sinthelastcenturytendedtoframetheirconceptofadulthoodbaseduponachievingcertainaccomplishments:movingawayfromhome,becomingfinanciallyindependent,findingtherightspouseandstartingafamily.(Para.5)Meaning:

作為他們父母唯一的承人和所有期望、希望和夢想的聚焦，有些年輕人以叛逆和桀驁不馴的行為和態度對待父母。他們往往憎恨他們所感到的壓力，并同他們的父母保持距離，甚至離家出走。 他們的困惑源于很難讓家長了解他們，也源于這段需要進行自我探索的、不確定的人生之旅。 了逃避困惑和不安，許多年輕人訴諸電腦游戲， iPod，iPhone或iPad，以幫助分散他們的痛苦和壓力。Asthesoleheirandfocusoftheirparents ’expectations,hopesanddreams,somereactwithrebelliousandpridefulattitudesandbehaviortowardtheirparents.(Para.6)Meaning:

雖然他們理解從學生到成年需要一個過渡階段，但看到他們已成年子女的過渡階段的生活與他們的期望漸行漸遠， 過渡階段延至五年，七年，甚至長時，他們感到生氣。 父母甚至不能清楚地覺察到他們孩子未來生活的方向，只能看著他們，看著要做的事被拖延著。Likewise,theirparentsarefeelingmoreanxious.(Para.7)Meaning:

新的準則還沒有建立，一切似乎都被一個不確定的版本所取代。兩性之間地位和權力的平衡也有了轉變。 取得學位的女性比男性更多。 男性的工在過去的幾十年里一直停滯不前，而女性的工資卻出現激增。24It ’shardtopredictwhat ’snext.Newguidelineshaven

預言；預料之意。predict 表示預言；預料之意時，往往是根據內心感受、經驗、證據或跡象； anticipate表示預期；預料之意時，往往根據以往的經驗、自己的向往、設想來推測。例如Infact,noonecanpredictwhetherhisideawillendupwithagreatsuccessforourbusiness. 事實上，沒人能預測他的想法是否最終會使我們的業務取得成功。Ianticipatealotofinterestinmynewspaperadvertisement. 我預料我在報紙上登的廣告會引起人們很大的興趣。Ipredictthisyear sdroughttohaveadetrimental.預測今年的干旱有不利的影響。predict 結構。例如：Unemploymentispredictedtoincreaseto700,000bytheendoftheyear. 預計失業人到今年年底將增至 70 萬。ProfessorMurray,whocreatesagraphoftheirconversations,believesitcouldeventuallybeusedtopredictthelikelihoodofdivorce. 默里教授根據他們的對話畫出一幅曲線圖 ,相信這條曲線最終可以用來預測夫妻離婚的可能性。Forecasterswillbeabletopredictwheretheexpectedstormsurgeswillstrikeandhowbigtheywillbe. 預報員們將可預報風暴潮襲擊的地點及其規模。anticipate 是及物動詞,一般接名詞、動名詞或名詞從句作賓語
