A-4: accord-acquire  

The man who achieve his goal  一个达到了目标的人

The man who played accordion in the dance band was once an accountant. He acquired a bachelor’s degree in accounting at a business college. Then he became an ace accountant and did his accountancy very well. His fame and wealth accrued quickly. But his boss accused him of lack of accuracy with acid words. The accused had no words to answer. All his acquaintances avoided him. His heart ached. He lost his job and the money he had accumulated soon ran out. His friend, who owned a factory that manufactured acetic acid and acetylene, introduced him to a dance band. They acquiesced to the newcomer. He wasn’t accustomed at first, but he would on no account lose confidence. He never accredited failure to his accursed fate. He continued to achieve his goal and his actions accorded with his determination. According to his skill, he became th most outstanding player in the band. Everybody acknowledged it was acoustic enjoyment to listen to his playing.

 

这个在伴舞乐队里弹奏手风琴的人曾是个会计。他在一个商学院获得会计学学士学位。之后，他成了一名一流的会计并把他的会计工作干得很好。他的名声与财富得来很快。但是他的老板用尖酸的话控告他缺乏准确度。被告无话回答。所有的熟人避开了他，使他的心疼痛了。她失去了工作，很快他积聚的钱用光了。他的朋友，一个拥有生产醋酸和乙炔工厂的人，介绍他去了一家乐队。乐队勉强接受了新来者。他一开始不习惯，但他决不失去信心。他从不把失败归咎于被诅咒的命运。他积蓄完成他的目标并且他的行为与决心相一致。按照他的技巧，他成了乐队里最出色的演奏者。每个人都承认听他的演奏是一种听觉享受。
