经过多年二外语言的学习，你享受学习二外吗？我猜你们大部分人会说不，因为二外就像绑在你身上的魔咒，打从我们上学起，我们就无法摆脱它。实际上，如果我们学着去享受语言的美，就可以发现它的力量。语言的力量表现在它的功能上。语言让来自世界各地的人们交流。来自不同国家的人们讲不同的语言，对于他们来说很难彼此理解，然而语言的力量让他们把人们联系在一起，英语是世界性的语言，人们都意识到通过学习同样的语言来达到彼此理解。在中国，人们学习英语作为二外，因此这样在于外国人交流的时候就没有问题了。语言给人们提供了互相理解的舞台，它的力量是很强大的。

a group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. when the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. the two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. the other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and gave up. he fell down and died.
一群青蛙在穿越树林，其中两只掉进了一个深坑。当其他的青蛙看到那个坑那么深，他们告诉那两只青蛙他们和死了一样，没希望逃出来了。两只青蛙没听他们的话，使尽全身力气想跳出来。其他的青蛙一直对他们说停下来吧，不可能跳出来了。最后，其中一只青蛙听取了其他青蛙的说法，放弃了。他掉落了下去，死了。
the other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. he jumped even harder and finally made it out. when he got out, the other frogs said, "did you not hear us?" the frog explained to them that he was a little deaf.
另外一只青蛙继续全力地跳着。再一次的，上面的青蛙群对他喊，别那么痛苦了，放弃吧。而他却跳得更有劲了，最后竟然跳了出来。他出来以后，其他青蛙问，“你没听见我们说什么嘛？”这只青蛙解释说，他是聋的。
he thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
他以为他们从始至终一直在鼓励他！
this story teaches us two lessons:
这个故事给了我们两个启迪：
1. there is power of life and death in the tongue. an encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.
1，你的话有决定生死的力量。一句鼓励的话可以让落魄的人重新振作，让他们重新面对生活。
2. a destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
2，而一句消极的话足以杀掉一个消沉的人。
