What is the best way to learn english? reading,listening,speaking,writing?
I don't know,but i think that reading graceful sentences is the effective and necessary method to improve your english level.
In fact,Without good methods,reading graceful sentences became a boring work .
How to make it interesting and useful or efficient?
As to reading graceful sentences ,we always recite it again and again, and then quickly forget them...........
Therefore,to find new ways to reading graceful sentences is an important and urgent task!

Why not we reading a graceful sentence only every day?
This way can help us to remember the word and sentence we have looked up in a strong impression
Because it is easier both remember and to undersatand the word within a context, examples and collocations are both used to help us use words, and so are important aids to producing correct natural english,resulting in clear accurate definitions that cause learners no problems of understanding
Why not have a try?now,let' go~~~~

t's a matter of leverage.

甘蔗没有两头甜。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
　　名词leverage的本意是“杠杆的作用”，这里使用的是它的比喻意，即，做事情的时候，想让一头敲起（想让一件事情满足要求），就需要把另一头压下（就要牺牲另一些需求），英文的解释是“To affect as if by leverage”。所以，这句口语用中文里的那句“甘蔗没有两头甜”来诠释恰倒好处。

对白
Gibbs: Now, what's the nature of this venture you are in?

Jack: I'm going after the Black Pearl. I know where it's going to be and I'm gonna take it.

Gibbs: Jack, it's a fool's errand. Well, you know better than me the tales of the Black Pearl?

Jack: That's why I know what Barbossa is up to. All I need is a crew.

Gibbs: From what I hear tell of Captain Barbossa, he's not a man to suffer fools nor strike a bargain with one.

Jack: Well, then I'd say it's a very good thing I'm not a fool then, aye.

Gibbs: Prove me wrong. What make's ye think Brabossa will give up his ship to you?

Jack: Let's just say it's a matter of leverage, aye?

Gibbs: The kid?

Jack: That is the child of Bootstrap Bill Turner. His only child, savvy.

Gibbs: Is he now? "Leverage", says you. "I think I feel a change in the wind," says I. I'll find us a crew. There's bound to be some sailors on this rock crazy as you.

Jack: One can only hope. Take what you can.   

Gibbs: Give nothing back.

Gibbs: Feast your eyes, Captain. All of them, faithful hands before the mast. Every man worth his salt. And crazy to boot.

Will: So this is your able-bodied crew?

Jack: You, sailor!

Gibbs: Cotton, Sir.

Jack: Mr.Cotton! Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death? Mr. Cotton! Answer me!

Gibbs: He's a mute, sir. Poor devil had his tongue cut out, so he trained the parrot to talk for him. No one's yet figured how.

Jack: Mr.Cotton's parrot! Same question.

Parrot: Wind in the sails! Wind in the sails!

Gibbs: Mostly, we figure that means "yes".

Jack: Of course it does. Satisfied?

Will: Well, you've proved they're mad.

Nothing could damp down his spirits．

任何事情都不能破坏他的兴致。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
　　damp down就等于make sad or dull，即，使沮丧，使扫兴
　　再如：
Difficulties and failures did not damp down his enthusiasm．
困难和失败都没有挫伤他的热情。
