英语自学网

　　I know my children are going to encounter hardship, and I’m praying they
won’t be naive. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. So I’m changing my
prayer. Because life is tough, whether we want it to be or
not.我们已祈祷了太多的安逸，但却少有实现。
        　　本期答案：Too many times we pray for ease, but that’s a prayer seldom
met.本句节选自《Growing Roots》
        　　1.前半句中祈祷某物最简练的表达就是pray for sth.
        　　2.后一句中“少有”的表达，除了seldom，还可以用few,hardly,rarely来表达。
