Language points
1. He told Yu Gong he could never do it because he was old and weak.
weak在此处意为“虚弱的；无力的”，反义词为strong（强壮的）。
e.g. At the hospital, my body was weak, but my mind was still very clear.
weak adj. 虚弱的；无力的
【拓展延伸】
1. weak还可表示“不擅长的；（能力）弱的；懦弱的”。
be weak in 意为“在……方面差”，相当于 be bad at 。
e.g. Geography is my weak subject.
2. weak的名词形式为weakness，意为“懦弱；衰弱；弱点，缺点”。
e.g. He thought crying was a sign of weakness.
3.weak 还可表示“稀的；稀释的”。
e.g. weak tea/coffee淡茶/淡咖啡
2.This story reminds us that you can never know what’s possible unless you try to make it happen.
remind v. 提醒；使想起

remind sb. + 从句 提醒某人……
The movie reminds me of my childhood.
My parents often remind me to study hard.
He reminds me that it is necessary to take some money with me.
3. I think it’s a little bit silly.
1) a little bit 常用来修饰形容词或副词及其比较级，相当于 a little, a bit 或 kind of 。
It’s a little bit ( = a little / a bit / kind of ) hot today.
You’d better come a little bit earlier tomorrow.
2) a little bit 还可修饰动词。
Could you turn the TV up a little bit
a little bit 有点儿，稍微
【拓展延伸】
1) a little 可直接修饰不可数名词，但是a bit 及a little bit 不可直接修饰名词，需要加of。
He has a little money.=He has a little bit of money.
2) not a little与 not a bit 区别
not a little意为 “很；非常”,not a bit 意为 “一点也不”，相当于not at all。
He is not a bit hungry. 他一点也不饿。
