John Russell:本节目讨论了瑜伽的不同流派及其对初学者的建议,并介绍了三种表达责任和义务的英语单词(accountability, responsibility, liability)的法律差异,以及学术写作中名词+that从句的用法,最后朗读了《厄舍府邸的沦亡》节选。我采访了瑜伽老师Tim Senesi和Anne Van Valkenburgh,他们分别就瑜伽练习的益处和初学者如何选择合适的瑜伽课程提出了建议。 Andrew Smith讲解了accountability, responsibility和liability这三个词在法律语境下的区别,并分别举例说明。 最后,我与Alice Bryant一起讲解了学术写作中名词+that从句的用法,并分析了这种句型在不同语境下的适用性。 Tim Senesi:我认为选择适合自己的瑜伽类型最重要,找到适合自己的练习方式才能达到最佳效果。不同的瑜伽流派有不同的侧重点,初学者应该根据自身情况选择合适的课程。 Anne Van Valkenburgh:我建议瑜伽初学者从基础课程开始,循序渐进地学习,避免直接进行高难度课程,以免受伤。同时,我鼓励大家坚持练习,不要轻易放弃,因为瑜伽有很多不同的流派,总有一款适合你。 Andrew Smith:accountability, responsibility和liability这三个词都表达了责任的概念,但在法律语境下含义有所不同。Responsibility通常指任务或责任,在法律语境下更倾向于使用duty。Accountability指的是因未尽责而可能面临的处罚或不良后果。Liability指的是在法律上可以被追究责任的义务。 Alice Bryant:在学术写作中,名词+that从句结构常用于评价或判断主题或观点,也常用于表达确定性和可能性。这种句型在学术写作中很常见,但在其他写作场合可能需要更直接的表达方式。
