英语角之漫谈星座

记者：马菁远

4月2日，冷风凛冽，大雨如注。时下一些比较热门的话题也在英语角与同学们见面了。本期主题为漫谈星座，参加本次活动的外籍教师有：Dr. Phillip Stevenson、Mr. Leck Wall、Mr. Sean McHugh和Ms. Dulene Cipiriano。

星座故事固然传奇，各位外教见解更甚。Mr. Sean McHugh说道，身为金牛座的他个人认为星座运势比较可信。“在预测未来与分析个性方面，我多少还是会听取一些的。但不能全信，只可‘微信’。”话音刚落，同学们会心一笑，纷纷掏出手机，查看自己的今日运势。

然而，Ms. Dulene Cipiriano却对星座不以为然。她向同学们解释说，星座仅供闲人消遣，只是人们茶余饭后的谈资，不能把它当成生活的坐标，事事以它为核心。“毕竟，谁又能准确地预见到未来呢？那样的话生活该多无聊啊！你应该按你自己的意愿来生活。”

最后，Dr. Phillip Stevenson也发表了自己的独特见解。他认为星座“信则有，不信则无”。一些人选择相信，所以他们会觉得冥冥之中会有神秘事物来主宰世界。另一些人选择不相信，于是他们会生活得更加随心、更加轻松。“信与不信，完全取决于自己的选择。”他补充道。

对于星座来说，信与不信，运势就在那里，不悲不喜；看与不看，生活就在那里，不偏不倚。选择权在你。那么，你的决定是什么呢？

English Corner: Zodiac

By Ma Jjingyuan

On April 2nd, there was strong icy wind and heavy pouring rain. The theme of the activity this time was Zodiac. Dr. Phillip Stevenson, Mr. Leck Wall, Mr. Sean McHugh and Ms. Dulene Cipiriano attended the English Corner.

Although some stories about zodiac were legendary, views of teachers were also amazing. Mr. Sean McHugh said, “it is partly trusted in the area of future prediction and personality analysis.” As soon as he stopped, students around him were checking out their horoscopes on their cellphones.

However, Ms. Dulene Cipiriano held a completely different opinion. She thought that the zodiac theory was ridiculous. And no one could truly predict the life in the future. “You know, that kind of life can be really boring.” Finally, Dr. Phillip Stevenson shared his unique insights with students. He supported that it was your own choice to trust it or not.

As for zodiac, it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, the prediction is standing right there, with no emotion; it doesn’t matter if you check it or not, your life is standing right there, with no variation. So, what’s your choice?
