原著簡(jiǎn)介
《秘密》是一本心靈勵(lì)志書。一位澳洲電視工作者,有一年,父親突然去世、工作遭遇瓶頸、家庭關(guān)系也陷入僵局,就在人生跌落谷底、生活即將崩潰時(shí),偶然間讀到一本百年古書,發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)生命中的重大秘密,而過(guò)去知道這個(gè)秘密的,竟然都是歷史上的偉大人物。這些秘密亙古以來(lái)存在于各種口述的歷史、文學(xué)、宗教與哲學(xué)之中,更藏在人與世界的各個(gè)互動(dòng)層面,每個(gè)人自身都存在著自己所不知道的能量。許多當(dāng)今的佼佼者早已了解并運(yùn)用此秘密。因此,作者決心組織一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)揭露這個(gè)只有1%的人才知道的驚天大秘密。她發(fā)現(xiàn),洞悉這個(gè)秘密的人都是各行各業(yè)的佼佼者,他們現(xiàn)身說(shuō)法告訴你:幸福、快樂(lè)、健康、金錢、人際關(guān)系,這個(gè)秘密都能給你!了解這個(gè)秘密,就沒(méi)有做不到的事;不論你是誰(shuí),你想要什么,這個(gè)秘密都能給你!
作者朗達(dá)·拜恩(Rhonda Byrne)凝聚了一個(gè)超強(qiáng)的團(tuán)隊(duì),從作家、神職人員、教師、影像工作者、設(shè)計(jì)以及出版等相關(guān)人員,把這個(gè)秘密推廣到全世界,帶給全球逾千萬(wàn)人喜悅的轉(zhuǎn)變,并因此入選《時(shí)代周刊》2007年全球最有影響力的100人之一。
此書創(chuàng)下美國(guó)賽門·舒斯特出版史單月再版破200萬(wàn)本、四個(gè)月銷量破500萬(wàn)本紀(jì)錄,榮獲“諾提勒斯圖書獎(jiǎng)”(Nautilus Book Award)。

語(yǔ)法指津
So if you're sitting there,looking at a mountain of debt,feeling terrible about it,that's a signal you're putting out to the Universe.因此,假設(shè)你坐在那里,看著山似的債務(wù),并且感到心情很糟糕,你就會(huì)把這些信號(hào)發(fā)射到宇宙中。
這是個(gè)帶有條件狀語(yǔ)從句的主從復(fù)合句。條件句中有l(wèi)ooking和feeling兩個(gè)分詞短語(yǔ)做伴隨狀語(yǔ)。現(xiàn)在分詞在句中常常做狀語(yǔ)使用。例如:
①做時(shí)間狀語(yǔ):
(While)Working in the factory,he was an advanced worker.在工廠工作時(shí),他是名先進(jìn)工人。
②做原因狀語(yǔ):
Being a League member,he is always helping others.作為一名共青團(tuán)員,他經(jīng)常幫助他人。
③做方式狀語(yǔ),表示伴隨:

④做條件狀語(yǔ):
(If)Playing all day,you will waste your valuable time.要是整天玩,你就會(huì)浪費(fèi)寶貴的時(shí)間。
⑤做結(jié)果狀語(yǔ):
He dropped the glass,breaking it into pieces.他把杯子弄掉了,結(jié)果摔得粉碎。

I waiting for the bus,a bird fell on my head.我等汽車時(shí),一只鳥落到我頭上。
有時(shí)也可用with(without)+名詞(代詞賓格)+分詞形式
With the lights burning,he fell asleep.燈還亮著,他就睡著了。
⑨做獨(dú)立成分:
Judging from(by)his appearance,he must be an actor.從外表看,他一定是個(gè)演員。

A vertical line is d rawn to correspond with the price range for the day,while a horizontal“tick”pointing to the left reveals the opening price,and a tick to the right indicates the closing price.
該圖形用一條豎線表示當(dāng)天價(jià)格波動(dòng)的范圍,再在豎線的左側(cè)用一條小橫線表示開(kāi)盤價(jià),在右側(cè)用一條小橫線表示收盤價(jià)。
