　　迷你對(duì)話

　　A: I don’t wanna go to school anymore. I’d ratherplay baseball than study.

　　我再也不想上學(xué)了。我寧愿打棒球也不愿學(xué)習(xí)。

　　B: You could do so much in your life, includingplaying baseball. But don’t quit school and threw itall away.

　　你一輩子可以做很多事情，包括打棒球。但是不要放棄學(xué)業(yè)，浪費(fèi)機(jī)會(huì)。

　　地道表達(dá)

　　throw something away

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Throw something away有幾個(gè)意思。第一個(gè)是：discard something as useless or unwanted(因不需要而扔掉，拋棄某物)。第二個(gè)是：fail to make use of something(未能利用某事物)。第三個(gè)是：throw away the opportunity, advantage(失去機(jī)會(huì)，失去優(yōu)勢(shì))。在該對(duì)話中是第三個(gè)意思。因此，對(duì)話中“Don’t quit school and throw it all away.”的意思是“不要放棄學(xué)業(yè)，浪費(fèi)機(jī)會(huì)。”

　　2. 拓展例句

　　We should have won. We threw it away.

　　我們本該贏的，是我們自己沒(méi)把握住機(jī)會(huì)。

　　Didn't I throw away every possible opportunity?

　　那不是明明安放著許多機(jī)會(huì)嗎?

　　e.g. It would be a thousand pities to throw away such a chance of fun.

　　白白放過(guò)這個(gè)有趣的機(jī)會(huì),那真是太可惜了。

　　e.g. People living in modern times shouldn't throw away our ancestor's fine traditions.

　　現(xiàn)代人應(yīng)該注意不能遺落先人的優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)。

　　Ps 1：quite school的意思是“退學(xué)”或“放棄學(xué)業(yè)”。例如：

　　Some students quit school due to poverty. 一些學(xué)生因貧困而輟學(xué)。

　　The teacher advised Lou to think twice before deciding to quit school. 老師勸告羅在決定退學(xué)前要好好考慮。
