本集主题:
Adam's profession
选自《创世纪》第二章第15节
Then the lord God took the man(adam)and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
神将那人(亚当)安置在伊甸园,让他照料看守这园子。
郝彬浅析:
同学们在这里可以发现亚当的职业是什么呢,对就是园艺,耕种。在后来的语言使用中,它的意思倾向性的为在家务农,辛苦耕作,还有一种陶渊明的简单愉悦生活的意思。做几个句子,大家会理解更透彻:
1.He has always been thinking of engaging in Adam's profession when he retires.
他一直在想,当他退休了,他就种种花,养养草。
2.My neighbor has green fingers. He keeps a very beautiful small garden of roses. He has been in Adam 's profession for many years.
我的邻居精于园艺。 他有一个非常漂亮的小玫瑰园。他干园艺这一行有很多年了。
3.what does your father do?
He is in Adam's profession back in the home village.
你父亲是干什么的?
他在老家务农。
