背 bèi bad (of luck)
眷顾 juàngù to look after
契而不舍 qìérbùshě unflagging efforts
艳羡 yànxiàn admire; envy
唉，你说我怎么就这么背呢，明明那么努力，幸运女神怎么就不眷顾我一下呢，托福我都考八次了还没通过。真是见鬼了。
ài ，nǐ shuō wǒ zěnme jiù zhème bèi ne ，míngmíng nàme nǔlì ，xìngyùnnǚshén zěnme jiù bù juàngù wǒ yīxià ne ，tuōfú wǒ dōu kǎo bā cì le hái méi tōngguò 。zhēn shì jiànguǐ le 。
Ah, why do you think I'm so unlucky. I clearly work hard, but lady luck doesn't take any care of me. It's the eighth time I've taken the TOEFL test and I still haven't passed it. To hell with it!
乖乖，考了八次？吓死宝宝了，除了惊异于你契而不舍的毅力，你这花钱不手软的财力也是让人艳羡啊！诶，您老这么多闲钱不如投资投资我呗。
guāiguāi ，kǎo le bā cì ？hèsǐ bǎobao le ，chúle jīngyì yú nǐ qìérbùshě de yìlì ，nǐ zhè huāqián bù shǒuruǎn de cáilì yě shì ràngrén yànxiàn ā ！èi ，nín lǎo zhème duō xián qián bùrú tóuzī tóuzī wǒ bēi 。
Oh darling, you've taken the test eight times? How frightful! It's not only your unwavering persistence I'm taken aback by, but your wealth in throwing so much good money after bad is also astounding! Ah! If you have so much money lying around, why don't you just invest it instead.
哪凉快哪呆着去，真是的，尽在这儿说风凉话。都说“只要功夫深、铁杵磨成针”，我一年考了八次，这认真劲儿把我自己都感动坏了，怎么没感动老天爷呢？
nǎ liángkuài nǎ dāi zhe qù ，zhēnshìde ，jìn zài zhèr shuō fēngliánghuà 。dōu shuō “zhǐyào gōngfu shēn 、tiěchǔ mó chéng zhēn ”，wǒ yī nián kǎo le bā cì ，zhè rènzhēnjìnr bǎ wǒ zìjǐ dōu gǎndòng huài le ，zěnme méi gǎndòng lǎotiānyě ne ？
Oh, back off won't you. You really are too much! You choose now to be all snide. You said that "as long as you dedicate enough time and energy, you can grind an iron rod into a needle." I took the test eight times in one year, even I'm moved by the conscientiousness of my effort. How have I not managed to move the gods?
不是我泼你冷水啊兄弟，我慢慢给你分析啊，咱们大多数人在看待结果的时候呢，往往都会走进归因偏差的误区，可毕竟成功不能进行片面归因。
bùshì wǒ pō nǐ lěngshuǐ ā xiōngdì ，wǒ mànmàn gěi nǐ fēnxī ā ，zánmen dàduōshù rén zài kàndài jiéguǒ de shíhou ne ，wǎngwǎng dōuhuì zǒujìn guīyīn piānchā de wùqū ，kě bìjìng chénggōng bùnéng jìnxíng piànmiàn guīyīn 。
I'm not trying to rain on your parade or anything, buddy. How about I break it down for you. When the majority of us are looking to an outcome, we'll often fall into the trap of an attribution bias. Although of course even if you're successful you can't carry out subjective attribution.
Natural Dialogues
Each lesson is centered around a natural dialogue with key vocabulary directly prepared and translated for your use. You can also listen to each sentence as an individual recording to improve your listening and comprehension skills.
