各就各位,预备,直奔目标—2024年巴黎奥运会

(之八)

改变“句子结构”

2023年3月3日至5月9日

自从买了这三场足球比赛的门票后,我心里总是感到有些不太舒服。 我们的目的是去看奥运会,但现在只能看这三场足球比赛,那我们怎么能算得去看奥运会呢? 虽然还有第二次抽签,但谁能保证一定抽到呢? 更何况,就算抽到了,也不知道会不会像第一期那样,喜欢的都卖完。


想来想去,还是没有答案。 如果这是一道数学题,作为数学老师,我相信它早就解决了。 但这是一个难以解决的不可抗拒事实。 看来我们原来的计划——专程去看奥运,顺便去欧洲旅游,好像有些货不对版,不太合适。

距离第二次抽签还有两个多月,这段时间真是很难熬。


一天晚上,我们吃完晚饭聊起来,自然又回到了奥运话题。我突然灵机一动,想出了一个巧妙的解决方案。我的心情一下子振奋起来,感觉开心极了。


哇,如果我告诉你们,你们也许不会相信。 就是这么简单。就是只需要对我们原来计划的句子稍作修改——颠倒一下顺序,就得了!


是吗?真的吗?请看!


原来的计划:

专程去看奥运,顺便去欧洲旅游。

改成:

专程去欧洲旅游,顺便去观看奥运。

真棒!棒级了!很好吧?对不对? 为什么我之前没有想到呢? 如果我想到的话,我会去找一位语文老师帮我纠正这个句子!那就不会搞到自己烦烦不乐了。


然而,这个变化却让我们的旅行出现了新的插曲。 我们不得不重新计划行程。 那么我们会如何安排呢? 我们还会被抽到第二次吗?下回再续。

Change the "sentence structure"


March 3 to May 9, 2023

After thinking and thinking, there was still no answer. If this was a math problem, as a math teacher, I believed it would be solved long time ago. But this is a thorny issue that was difficult to resolve. It seems that our original plan: make a special trip to watch the Olympics and travel to Europe, was not suitable.


There was still more than two months before the second draw. That period of time was unbearable.


One night, we had a chat right after dinner, and naturally returned to this Olympic topic. I suddenly had an idea and came up with a ingenious solution!


My mood lifted and I felt great. Ha, you won't believe it if I told you. It's that simple. All it took was a slight revision to our original plan sentences-reverse the order, done!


Yeah? Really? Please see!

The original plan:

Make a special trip to watch the Olympics, and travel to Europe along the way.

Changed to:

Make a special trip to travel to Europe and watch the Olympics along the way.

Awesome! Amazing! Great? Right? Why I didn't think of it before? If I had thought it, I would ask a grammar teacher to correct this sentence for me!


However, this change caused a new episode in our trip. We had to re-plan the trip. So how should we arrange it? Will we be drawn a second time? Continue next time.
