山西省社會科學(xué)院能源經(jīng)濟研究所研究員曹海霞說,《必由之路》中的每一個場景、每一個鏡頭,都能喚起親歷者的共鳴?!拔矣芍愿械?,改革開放是人類發(fā)展史上最偉大最成功的革命實踐,是我們中華民族走向偉大復(fù)興的關(guān)鍵抉擇,是中國人民從站起來到富起來再到強起來的必由之路。

參考譯文
在跨年夜,和家人們一起做做以下這些活動,這個夜晚將會充滿趣味!
室內(nèi)宿營
不要讓家人對在跨年夜里上床睡覺產(chǎn)生抗拒,想辦法把這件事變成他們所期待的吧。既然圣誕樹還在,那就好好利用它所營造的氣氛,在家里支起帳篷,來一次室內(nèi)宿營吧,讓跨年夜的睡眠時段變得不同尋常。
拍攝照片
計劃一下,利用跨年夜這個特別的時間去拍些有趣的照片。在幾乎所有人都在舉杯迎接新年的時候,你或許可以拍到某人在地板上呼呼大睡的畫面。
回顧往昔
父母滔滔不絕地談?wù)摾险掌赡軙尨簏c兒的孩子覺得不好意思,而年紀小一些的孩子(還沒到午夜他們就睡著了)在看到自己的老照片和視頻的時候一般都會很興奮。放下你的電腦或手機,聊聊全家在過去一年里一起經(jīng)歷的事情,享受這溫馨的夜晚吧。
休息早睡
雖然在這天夜里大多數(shù)人都會熬夜晚睡,但這并不意味著你也必須如此。在跨年夜里上床睡覺、養(yǎng)足精神,這也許是開始新一年的最好方式!
名師考點小結(jié)
“形容詞/副詞+enough to+動詞原形”,意為“足夠……可以……”。例如:
He is old enough to take care of himself. 他長大了,能夠照顧自己了。
She is old enough to travel by herself. 她年紀夠大,可以獨自旅行了。
注意:若enough前出現(xiàn)了否定詞,則不僅否定了enough,而且也否定了其后的不定式。例如:
He is not strong enough to lift the box. 他力氣不夠大,提不起這個箱子。
另外,該句型有時可與“so/such…that”句型互換。例如:He is rich enough to buy a plane.
=He is so rich that he can buy a plane.
他很有錢,可以買下一架飛機了。
有時該句型也可與“too…to…”句型互換。例如:
He is not old enough to go to school.
他還不夠大,還不能上學(xué)。
=He is too young to go to school. 他太小,還不能上學(xué)。
