19、Some people pretend to despise the things they cannot have. ---- Aesop
    吃不到葡萄的人說葡萄酸。----伊索
    pretend means make pretensions,表示假裝，矯作的意思。
    這里，我們來看一下下列幾個(gè)詞：pretend、feign、assume、affect ,都含"假裝"的意思。
    pretend指"感覺到某事,而在言行上裝出是真的",如: pretend not to hear　假裝沒聽見。
    feign指"精心裝有或裝作",如:feign deafness　裝聾。
    assume指"裝出有某種感情的樣子,以掩飾其真正的感情",如:
    She assumed a look of sorrow.　她假裝著悲傷的樣子。
    affect指"為達(dá)到某種效果而假裝有某種特征或情感",如:affect a British accent裝英國腔。
    20、The secret of success is constancy of purpose.　　成功之秘訣乃為目標(biāo)之有恒。
    Secret - something kept hidden or known about by only a few people，秘密；機(jī)密。The secret of health 養(yǎng)身秘訣；make no secret of something 對某事毫不掩飾。
    Constancy - the quality of staying the same even though other things change，堅(jiān)定；堅(jiān)貞；經(jīng)久不變。Constancy of purpose目標(biāo)堅(jiān)定。
    Purpose-the thing that an event, process, or activity is supposed to achieve, or the job that something is supposed to do，意圖；目的。What is his purpose in coming?他來的意圖是什么？
    這個(gè)諺語告訴我們確立目標(biāo)，持之以恒就能成功地將事情完成。
