    Part 1 一些字词

    ✏️relish

    原文:Justine appeared to relish their status even more than Musk.

    朗文释义:to enjoy an experience or the thought of something that is going to happen 喜爱;享受

    relish the prospect/thought/idea

    例句:I don’t relish the thought of you walking home alone.  我可不想让你一个人走回家。

    relish the chance/opportunity

    He relishes the chance to play Hamlet.  他很高兴能有机会扮演哈姆雷特。

    造句:I relish the opportunity to read the book online with more than 2000 people.

    ✏️heap...on sb  & turn on sb

    原文:Reporters who months earlier had been heaping adulation on Musk turned on him.

    · 朗文释义:heap praise/insults etc on sb 

      to praise, insult etc someone a lot 对某人极力称赞/百般侮辱等

      例句:He heaped all the blame on his secretary.  他把所有责任都推在秘书身上。

      造句: He never heaps praise on his children.

    · 朗文释义:turn on sb ( also 又作 turn upon sb )

      to suddenly attack someone, using physical violence or unpleasant words 〔用暴力或恶毒语言〕突然攻   击某人

     例句:Peter turned on Rae and screamed, ‘Get out of my sight!’  彼得突然冲着雷尖叫起来:“从我面前滚    开!”

     造句:Turning on him with cruel words made her feel guilty afterwards.

    ✏️coax  &  goad 

    ·原文:Lee coaxed Musk into going to a club called Whisky Mist, in Mayfair.

     朗文释义:to persuade someone to do something that they do not want to do by talking to them in a  kind, gentle, and patient way 劝诱,哄;诱导

     例句:‘Please, Vic, come with us,’ Nancy coaxed.  “求你了,维克,跟我们一起去吧。”南希哄劝道。

     用法:coax sb into/out of (doing) sth

     例句:We had to coax Alan into going to school.  我们只好哄着艾伦去上学。

     造句: My parents used to coaxed me into taking the medicine.

    ·原文:Lee set to work trying to goad Musk into a night on the town.

     朗文释义:to make someone do something by annoying or encouraging them until they do it 驱使,唆使

     → provoke

     用法:goad sb into (doing) sth

     例句:Kathy goaded him into telling her what he had done.  凯茜逼着他把自己所干的事告诉了她。

     造句: Somebody who is goaded into studying can never study well.

    对比可以发现,两个词虽然都是Lee 劝 Musk 去俱乐部,夜总会,但是具体的劝法是不一样的,coax用“哄着去”的意味,“goad”有“拉着去”的感觉。

    Part 2 一些感悟

    个人感觉今天读的大部分与Elon Musk 的八卦有关。最主要的感想就是名人最好还是只在自己的领域出名就好,不要过多的暴露私人生活在公众面前。人们都是八卦的,也都是贪得无厌的,硅谷的人们也不例外。所以我个人觉得Elon的妻子写博客也是利用了人们想要窥探别人的生活,看到了还要看到更多的心理,有一部分的虚荣原因,之后也有一部分报复的原因,每天这样写着,让 Elon 那段时间也不好过。。

    所以我把QQ空间关了,朋友圈也不爱发,就总觉得不知道别人会在什么时候窥探你以前和现在的生活,而且发动态就会关心别人有没有点赞,有没有评论之类的事情,很耽误时间。我认为这不是在记录生活,而是想让别人看到你的生活。
