  “Always”.“Never”.These are probably the two most powerful words in the English language. Even more powerful than yes and n0,since saying yes(or no)applies to the moment or subject at hand, while sayin9“always"or“never"sets the tone for everything to come.①
  The two words can be powerful in a beneficial way,or in an adversely negative way.If you use“always”in affirmations such as“I am always increasing my level of joy and aliveness”,0r“I am always growing nearer and nearer to my divine reality”。0r“I am always at the right place at the right time”, etc.,then these uses of the word“always”become an empowerment.⑦However,when we use the word“always”in negative situations。such as“I always get it wron9”,0r“I always catch a cold”,etc.then we are“creating our reality”in a powerful way.
  The use of the word ALWAYS is very powerful,so is the use of NEVER.While I encourage you to find empowering ways to use the word“always”。I also encourage you to drop completely the word NEVER.One cannot use that word positively?Even if you say“I never catch a cold”,0r“My husband never cheats on me”,0r whatever,the focus is still on something you don’t want in your life—a cold,a cheating husband,etc.It is better to replace those statements(and thoughts)with“I am always healthy”.0r if you’re not quite comfortable with that statement,then say“Each day,I get healthier and healthier”.④Or rather than focus on the picture of a cheating husband,better to focus on“My husband is always faithful to me”。0r“My husband and I are faithful and honest with each other.”④
  You can ask your subconscious to help you root out your use of the word“always”and the word“never”.Ask your subconscious to alert you when you use those words whether in thought or conversation.When you catch yourself“creating your reality”in a way that does not meet your highest vision of a happy life。then rephrase your thought or statement.If you find yourself sayin9“I always’ followed by a negative projection,you could,at the least,replace the“always’’with“in the past,I…”(omitting the word always or never).In this way,you at least keep that picture tied to your past,and free your future for something which is more in keeping with your dreams and vision for yourself.I leave you with these thoughts:May you always be blessed with many wonder-full experiences.May your heart always be full of love for yourself and for others.So be it!

  难句透析

  ①Even more powerful than yes and no,[since saying yes(or no)applies to the moment Or subject at hand.whil. sayin9“always”or“never”sets the tone for everything to come].

  【结构】本句的主句“Even more powerful than yes and no”是省略句,相当于“They are even more powerful thal yes and n0”。方括号所标示的“since saying yes…tO come”用做原因状语从句。这个从句是由逗号和“while”连接的两个分句组成的并列句;动名词短语“saying yes(or no)”和“sayin9”always“or”never”,分别是这两个分句的主语。

  【释义l这两个词甚至比“是”和“否”还要有力。因为,说“是”或“否”针对的是某个时刻或手头的事,而说“总是,或“决不”的口气指的是未来的一切。

  ②[If you use“always”in affirmations such as “I am always increasing my level of joy and aliveness”,0r “I a always growing nearer and nearer tO my divine reality”,0r “I am always at the right place at the right time”. etc.],then these uses of the word“always”become an empowerment.

  【结构】方括号所标示的“If you use…etc.”用做条件状语从句。用上标数字标明的,用逗号和“or”连接的三个分句组成并列句,用做“such as”的宾语从句。

  【释义】如果你说“总是”时,用的是肯定口气,比如:“我总是想方设法使自己更欢快,更活泼。”或“我总是不断成长,离自己的神圣目标越来越近。”或“我总是占尽天时地利。”此时,“总是”这个词的意思是“使能够”。

  ③”It is better[to replace those statements(and thoughts)with“I am always healthy”],or [if you’re not quite comfortable with that statement],then say“Each day,I get healthier and healthier”.

  【结构】本句是由用逗号和“and”连接的两个分句组成的并列句。在第一个分句中,“it”是形式主语,方括号所标示的动词不定式短语“to replace…with…”是真正的主语。在第二个分句中。方括号所标示的“if you,re nol…statement”用做条件状语从句,主句“then say…”是祈使句。

  【释义】换个说法(想法)更好一些,可以说:“我总是很健康。”如果这么说让你感到不自在,也可以说:“我身体越来越好。”

  ④or rather than focus on the picture of a cheating husband,better to focus on l…My husband is always faithful tc me”,0r “My husband and I are faithful and honest with each other.”

  【结构】本句的主句“better tO focus on…”是省略句,相当于“It is better to focus on…”。用上标数字标明的,甩逗号和“or”连接的两个分句组成并列句,用做介词“on”的宾语从句。

  【释义】或者,不应该设想那种不诚实的老公形象,而应该说:“我老公对我总是很忠诚”或“我和老公彼此间既忠实又坦诚”。

  ⑤[When you catch yourself“creating your reality”in a way(that does not meet your highest vision of a happv life)],then rephrase your thought or statement.

  【结构】方括号所标示的“When you catch…life”用做时间状语从句;其中圆括号所标示的“that does not meet…life”用做“way”的后置定语从句。主句“then rephrase your thought Or statement”是祈使句。

  【释义】当你发现自己在“创造现实”,使用的方式与自己对幸福生活的最高愿景不一致时,最好换个思路,换个说法。

  ⑥In this way,you at least”keep that picture tied tO your past,and free your future for something[which is more in keeping with your dreams and vision for yourself].

  【结构】本句主句的主语是“you”,用上标数字标明的,用逗号和“and”连接的两个动词“keep”和“free”是并列的谓语。方括号所标示的“which is more…for yourself”用做“somethin9”的后置定语从句。

  【释义】这样,你至少可以把那个画面限定在过去,解放自己的未来,把未来致力于那些更符合自己梦想和愿景的事。

  答案注释

  1.根据第二段中的“…these uses of the word‘always’become an empowerment”和“when we use the word al ways’in negative situations,…then we are‘creating our reality’in a powerful way”可知,选项C应为答案。

  2.根据第二段第一句“The two words can be powerful in a beneficial way,or in an adversely negative way”可知,选项B应为答案。

  3.根据第三段第三、四句“0ne cannot use that word positively?Even if you say‘I never catch a cold’,…the focus is still on something you don’t want in your life…”可知,选项A应为答案。

  4.根据第四段中的“If you find yourself sayin9‘I always’followed by a negative projection,you could,at the least, replace the‘always’with‘in the past,I…’(omitting the word always or never)”可知,选项D应为答案。

  5.本文表达的观点是:“always,is powerful”。作者在最后一段使用“always”这个词表达了美好的祝愿。所以,选项A应为答案。

  全文翻译

  “总是”、“从不”也许是英语中两个最有力的词。这两个词甚至比“是”和“否”还要有力。因为,说“是”或“否”

  针对的是某个时刻或手头的事,而说“总是”或“从不”的口气指的是未来的一切。

  这两个词可以是有力的肯定,或者相反,表达负面的意思。如果你说“总是”时,用的是肯定口气,比如:“我总是想方设法使自己更欢快,更活泼。”或“我总是不断成长,离自己的神圣目标越来越近。”或“我总是占尽天时地利。”此时,“总是”这个词的意思是“使能够”。但是,当我们用“总是”表达负面的意思时,如“我总是弄错”,或者“我总是感冒”等等,我们在用一种强有力的方式“创造我们的现实”。

  “总是”这个词的用法非常有力,“从不”的用法也是一样。我鼓励你们寻找有力的方法使用“总是”这个词,同样也鼓励大家不要使用“从不”这个词。难道不能用这个词表达正面的意思吗?即使你说“我从不感冒”或者“我丈夫从不欺骗我”,或者其他的说法,话语的焦点仍然是生活中你不想碰到的东西——感冒,欺骗人的丈夫等等。换个说法(想法)更好一些,可以说:“我总是很健康。”如果这么说让你感到不自在,也可以说:我身体越来越好。或者,不应该设想那种不诚实的老公形象,而应该说:“我老公对我总是很忠诚”或“我和老公彼此间既忠实又坦诚”。 你可以借助于潜意识的帮助来发现自己是如何使用“总是”和“从不”这两个词的。当你在说话或者思考的时候使用了这两个词,下意识地提醒自己。当你发现自己在“创造现实”,使用的方式与自己对幸福生活的最高愿景不一致时,最好换个思路,换个说法。如果你发现自己说“我总是……”后面加一些负面的话语时,至少你可以用“过去,我……”来代替“总是”(省略掉“总是”或“从不”这两个词)。这样,你至少可以把那个画面限定在过去,解放自己的未来,把未来致力于那些更符合自己梦想和愿景的事。希望你能获得这些想法:希望你“总是”拥有很多精彩的经验。希望你的心“总是”充满对自己和他人的爱。这样去做吧!
