積極付出，才是人生的創造者

九、談做人 Living

（三）每天無所事事,是人生的消費者；積極付出,才是人生的創造者。

Doing nothing and idling time away consumes our life.Giving to others with total dedication creates our life.

【單字】

1.to idle away...(vt.)：虛擲、虛度

Ken idled away all afternoon by doing nothing at the coffee shop.

2.to consume [k?n』sum](vt.)：消費

The car my mother has just bought consumes a great deal of fuel.

3.dedication [,d?d』ke??n](nc./nu.)：奉獻

Mr. Wu"s dedication to teaching gained the respect of his peers and students.

【句型解析】

Doing nothing and idling time away[s]consumes[v]our life[o].

Giving to others with total dedication[s]creates[v]our life[o].

【文法說明】

這兩句都是用名詞類的動名詞（Ving）當句子的主詞。動名詞當主詞,視為一件事情,動詞需用單數動詞。又doing nothing and idling time away雖然由and連接兩個動名詞,但在這裡我們把他們當成一件事（無所事事）,所以還是用單數的動詞consumes。
