知识梳理
Language points
1. 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. of / about sth. 提醒某人想起某事
e.g. The picture reminds him of his beautiful hometown.
这幅画让他想起了美丽的故乡。
remind sb. to do sth. 提醒某人去做某事
e.g. Please remind me to come back early. 请提醒我早点回来。
2. I think it's a little bit silly.
bit n. 有点；稍微
a little bit (= a little) + 形容词或副词或比较级时，表示“一点儿”。
e.g. I'm a little bit tired. Let's take a short rest.
我有点累了，让我们休息一会。
She is a little bit shy. 她有点害羞。
【辨析】： a bit of + 不可数名词 一点 ……
e.g. She poured a bit of salt water in her mouth.
她往嘴里倒了一些盐水。
silly adj. 愚蠢的
通常指由于缺乏常识、判断力或稳健而作出令人可笑的行为和举止, 在句中可用作定语或表语。
e.g. I was silly to get out with a coat in a cold day.
在这样冷的天气里没有穿外套就出门，我真傻。
3. But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains
instead of 是复合介词，后接名词、代词、动词的-ing形式或介词短语等，意为“代替，作为……的替换”。
e.g. If you can't go, he'll go instead of you.
如果你不能去，他会代替你去。
Jack went swimming yesterday instead of playing basketball.
杰克昨天去游泳了而不是打篮球。
【注意】 instead与instead of 只有一词之差，但在用法上区别很大。instead是副词，意为“代替”，在句中只能用作状语。
e.g. We have no coffee. Would you like some water instead
我们没有咖啡了，你想喝点水吗
Donna never studies. Instead, she plays table tennis all day.
唐娜从不学习，而是整天打乒乓球。
4. Once upon a time, there was a very old man…

once upon a time的意思是“从前，很久以前”是英文故事、童话开头常见的一种叙述方式，类似说法有 long long ago 或 a long time ago.
