本集主题：
Fig leaves
选自《创世纪》第三章第6--7节
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took off its fruit and ate.She also gave her husband with her,and he ate.
当女人见那棵树的果子是很好的食物，也悦人耳目，并且能使人长智慧，就摘下果子吃了。他还将果子递给身边的丈夫，让丈夫也吃了。
Then the eyes of both of them were opened,and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
吃了以后他们二人的眼睛就明亮了，才知道自己赤身裸体，便拿无花果的叶子为自己缝制遮羞之物。

亲爱的同学们，FIG LEAVES从表面上理解是无花果树的叶子，那么在语言的实际运用中被比喻为遮羞布的意思。看看我们中西文化多么丰富，多么别致有各具风格，给我们的生活增添了许多乐趣。我们来早几个句子，让大家熟练使用：
1.Come and see the picture of tom in his babyhood--without even a fig leaf on.
快来看TOM婴儿时候的照片--光着屁股照的。
2.When we were small children, we used to swim a lot in summer without fig leaves on in a pond.
我们小时候，经常夏天光着身子在池塘里游泳。
亲爱的同学们，语言学习，一要充满智慧，二要富有乐趣。《圣经》是这样内容丰富、绚丽多彩的语言学习教材。它不仅格言警句俯拾皆是，而且连平淡的语句也起动人心弦。从圣经中得到心灵的升华，生命的快乐是来自于你帮助别人，或帮助这个世界多一份净化，你会觉得生命很实在。
