Day 3~4
逻辑导图：
神句组：
1.On various occasions she haspersuaded me to dothings for her, just as she
hasenlistedthousands of others.
我：她已经在各种各样的场合说服我为她做事，正如她已经获得了成千上万的人的帮助。
笃师：她向无数人寻求帮助,也成功的说服了我在许多事情上给予她支持。
笃师精讲：Enlist: to persuade someone to help you to do sth:谋求（某人的帮助）
Enlist sb’s help/service(常见词组，建议内化成积极储备）
They hoped to enlist the help of the public in solving the crime.他们希望寻求公众协助破案。
2.Why would I give up a Saturday on the basis ofwatching a clip of a similar conference a year earlier?
我为什么要放弃周六的时间为他效劳？难道就因为
来看这场和一年前同样的会议视频呢吗？笃师精讲：Would此处表示意愿(会，将会)
I wish youwouldbe quiet for a minute.我希望你会安静一会儿。
3.There is no danger of ever laying it on too thick. There is no level at which flattery stops working, according to a study by Jennifer Chatman of the University of California,Berkeley.
过分的恭维完全没关系，用力夸奖永远错不了。根据一份来自加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的Jennifer Chatman所做的一项研究显示，恭维在任何类型程度上的赞美都不会失去作用能起到效果。笃师精讲：Lay on：原来意思是涂抹（颜料等），其实是呼应前段butter it up: butter大家都知道是黄油的意思，用作动词是涂黄油，衍伸为甜言蜜语，讨好奉承。此处用lay on则是呼应黄油涂再厚也不嫌多。如果童鞋们一时之间体会不到，也不用着急，联系上下文总能推断出来，这不，下一句作者就进一步解释了：什么级别的好话都不会不奏效=黄油涂再厚也不为过。
4.In addition to being flattering, the perfect please has to make you feelnot only wanted, but also needed. I read the email and said yes at once. I knew how manipulative it was, but I could not help myself.
除了恭维之外，
更好的表达“请”不但会使你感觉被想要，而且感觉被需要。请求的最佳方式是让人觉得自己不可或缺，而不仅仅是被邀请而已。我读完邮件后并且当即答应了，我知道这种做法很操纵忽悠人，但是我就是忍不住要这么做。（尽管我很清楚自己被忽悠了，但还是难以拒绝。）笃师精讲：want只是想要，但不是必须，不是没有他就不能活了: I want to go to the moon. need是必需，通常说是必需品，生活中少不了他: I need to eat.
5.And rather than ask if I had enjoyed it, it would have been better to attest how much they had enjoyed having me.
我：与其问我是否享受这次讨论，告诉我观众多享受我的演讲可能更好。
笃师：比起询问我的感受，更佳的方式是证实我的到来令他们感到愉快。
6. If only you wouldjoin our panel on xxx. We have a lot of clever but worthy people talking, and we need your genius to liven it up. Please say yes.
要是你愿意加入XXX我们的讨论小组就太好了，那里有很多聪明充满智慧且值得尊敬的嘉宾人来说话，因此我们需要你的天资您的超群魅力来使这次讨论活跃起来（带动大家），请说你同意答应我们吧。
e.g.整个句子堪称经典。首先，If only you would语气相当礼貌客气。其次，用your genius夸奖对方能力。再次，突出we need即让对方感觉自己不可或缺，提升对方的自我存在感。
最后，Please say yes.真切恳请。简直无人能拒啊~
If only you would这样的表达方式相当值得一学，基本上属于客气的最高级别：如果您能…就太好了。很多时候会看到if打头的句子，如If you could please follow me. /If you could please open the box for me.用于比较正式的场合，是一种礼貌用语。比Please follow me要客气舒缓的许多。
7.Thank you for bringing the evening to life and foryour scorching wit and sense. You are our own Tina Fey.
我：感谢你为今晚赋予生气，感谢你超群的智慧和理解力。你是我们的Tina Fey.

Day 5
读后感：生活中，我们常常自认为懂得如何运用请和谢谢，懂得如何夸人，却每每收到的都是对方委婉的拒绝。于是我们便会在内心嘀咕，对方怎么这么不给面子，我难道说的还不够客气嘛，诸如此类的话，这个问题可以说困扰了我们很久。而这次作者的这篇文章可以说给我们开辟了一个新的思路。她不仅没有否定夸人的重要性，相反，她强调了夸人极其重要，甚至提出，夸人，不能停。另外，她也不是简单的告诉我们感谢要直接，感谢要具体，最重要的感谢也可以是带有奉承意味的。可以说，文章虽易，却很有启发性。
Day 6
复盘：这一周学习了一篇教我们如何正确的说请和谢谢，从而获得他人帮助的文章。前两天的生词积累看似容易，但如果深挖下去，就会发现其实有很多生动的小词值得去探索，所以对于单词的积累，一定要有耐心，不能因为贪图快就放过任何一个有助于自己深入了解词汇的机会。三四天的逻辑导图和神词句，可以说这个是非常考验人的，逻辑导图需要把握主旨，而神词句需要你准确把握意思，这其实都是查看我们是否掌握文章。对我来说，这些还都比较薄弱，需要一步一个脚印的去做，特别是翻译，由于常常没有把意思理解透，所以翻出来的东西都不太像人话，这点还要继续修炼。总的来说，这一周的文章还是给了我充裕的时间去消化吸收，当然通过这周的学习我也发现了，光靠少量的精读还是不够的，平时也要多读一些时事，不仅仅是拓展知识，更是增加语感，让学习英语成为一种习惯。
