在跨年夜,和家人们一起做做以下这些活动,这个夜晚将会充满趣味!
室内宿营
不要让家人对在跨年夜里上床睡觉产生抗拒,想办法把这件事变成他们所期待的吧。既然圣诞树还在,那就好好利用它所营造的气氛,在家里支起帐篷,来一次室内宿营吧,让跨年夜的睡眠时段变得不同寻常。
拍摄照片
计划一下,利用跨年夜这个特别的时间去拍些有趣的照片。在几乎所有人都在举杯迎接新年的时候,你或许可以拍到某人在地板上呼呼大睡的画面。
回顾往昔
父母滔滔不绝地谈论老照片可能会让大点儿的孩子觉得不好意思,而年纪小一些的孩子(还没到午夜他们就睡着了)在看到自己的老照片和视频的时候一般都会很兴奋。放下你的电脑或手机,聊聊全家在过去一年里一起经历的事情,享受这温馨的夜晚吧。
休息早睡
虽然在这天夜里大多数人都会熬夜晚睡,但这并不意味着你也必须如此。在跨年夜里上床睡觉、养足精神,这也许是开始新一年的最好方式!
名师考点小结
“形容词/副词+enough to+动词原形”,意为“足够……可以……”。例如:
He is old enough to take care of himself. 他长大了,能够照顾自己了。
She is old enough to travel by herself. 她年纪够大,可以独自旅行了。
注意:若enough前出现了否定词,则不仅否定了enough,而且也否定了其后的不定式。例如:
He is not strong enough to lift the box. 他力气不够大,提不起这个箱子。
另外,该句型有时可与“so/such…that”句型互换。例如:He is rich enough to buy a plane.
=He is so rich that he can buy a plane.
他很有钱,可以买下一架飞机了。
有时该句型也可与“too…to…”句型互换。例如:
He is not old enough to go to school.
他还不够大,还不能上学。
=He is too young to go to school. 他太小,还不能上学。
