1. Never fail to be thankful to the people around you. * 此句为否定结构的祈使句。祈使句否定结构大多由助动词 don’t 承担。 * 但若要加强语气，英语课用 never 替代 don’t ，表达汉语“千万不要……；一定别……”的意思。* 若要进一步强调，表达语气更强的禁止，则可使用“ Never, ever…” 结构。

别来迟了。 ( 不要迟到。 )Don’t come late.对人一定不要讲脏话。Never use dirty words on others.这是一把装有子弹的枪，千万、千万不要碰他！This is a loaded gun. Never, ever touch it!一定、一定不要把秘密泄露出去，你能够做到吗？Never, ever let anyone know the secret. Can you promise?

2. As you set out on your new journey, you shouldn’t forget where you came from. set out on something 开始进行新的或重要的事情 set out 出发

我们开始着手这个项目时就知道它的难处。When we set out on this project, we knew it would be difficult.这些旅行者休息三天后又出发了。After a three-day rest, the travelers set out again.

journey 本义为 “旅程”，此句中用的是它的引申义，即它的隐喻用法，意思是“ ( 人生的 ) 阶段或行程”。 隐喻在英语中很常见，如：学习是终身旅程。Learning is a life-long journey.时间就是金钱。Time is money.这本书是这对夫妇辛苦付出的成果。The book is the fruit of the couple’s hard work.
