Aubrey Carter: 我主要表达了对美国公立学校的感激之情,因为这让我有时间想念我的孩子们。我发现那些在家教育孩子的父母非常了不起,因为我无法做到这一点。我爱我的孩子,但我也需要一些时间来想念他们。因此,我对那些有耐心整天教孩子,然后整个周末都和他们在一起的父母表示敬佩。 Lindsay McMahon: 我主要表达了对身体的活动能力心怀感激,因为这能让我感觉更好。每当我能够自由活动时,我的精神状态也会随之改善。例如,如果我去散步,我的心情会变得更好。因此,我对我的健康状况心怀感激。此外,我也强调了表达感激之情是与他人建立联系的好方法,但需要使用正确的词汇和介词,因为含义会略有不同。'Grateful' 和 'thankful' 经常可以互换使用,但还是有细微的差别。'Thankful' 通常指的是一种不那么深刻的、更像是转瞬即逝的感激之情,可能是对特定行为或好处的回应。而 'grateful' 意味着更深刻、更持久的感激之情,是对某事的心态上的欣赏。

  • Grateful and thankful are often used interchangeably but have subtle differences.
  • Thankful is for less profound, passing feelings of appreciation, often for a specific act or benefit.
  • Grateful implies a deeper, more lasting sense of appreciation, more of a mindset.
