I pray with every fiber of my being that our President will realign his priorities after such a tragic event.
我身上的每個(gè)細(xì)胞都在祈求上天：但愿我們的總統(tǒng)看到這場(chǎng)悲劇后能改弦更張，重新調(diào)整他的工作重心。

字里行間

every fiber原本指人體的每個(gè)細(xì)胞組織，one's being則是全身心的意思。這個(gè)短語(yǔ)既可以優(yōu)雅地出現(xiàn)在莊重的社交場(chǎng)合，也可以在隨心所欲的私人交談中使用。

every fiber of one's being通常與帶有強(qiáng)烈感情和鼓動(dòng)性的動(dòng)詞，如pray， appeal等，一起連用，來(lái)渲染語(yǔ)句要表達(dá)的感情色彩。例如：We're all praying for our success with every fiber of our being.（我們?nèi)硇南蛏仙n祈求我們的成功。）

弦外之音

欲在美國(guó)社交場(chǎng)合或是主流社會(huì)練就談吐自如、如魚得水的本領(lǐng)，就要學(xué)會(huì)在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候表現(xiàn)自己的詼諧幽默。有一種表達(dá)幽默的方法，就是用莊重嚴(yán)肅的詞語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō)明一件其實(shí)無(wú)關(guān)緊要的事。比如將聽上去冠冕堂皇且鄭重其事的every fiber of one's being與一個(gè)微不足道的話題聯(lián)用，常常會(huì)令人意想不到，忍俊不禁： All of us are appealing to the ultimate authority of the board of directors with every fiber of our being that you become the chef in our cafeteria.（我們大家都使出吃奶的力氣向董事會(huì)強(qiáng)烈呼吁讓你出任我們食堂的大廚。）

活學(xué)活用

1. There lurks a suppressed criminality in every fiber of his being, so you don't want him get closer to the school.
那個(gè)人渾身上下都流著罪犯的血液，潛伏著蠢蠢欲發(fā)的作案沖動(dòng)，所以你不要讓他靠近學(xué)校。

2. When Reiner slowly raised his baton, eyes closed, the music had begun from every fiber of his being before the orchestra played the very first note. The legendary Fritz Reiner was music himself.
當(dāng)賴納緩緩抬起指揮棒，眼睛微閉，哪怕此時(shí)樂隊(duì)尚未奏響一個(gè)音符，音樂已經(jīng)從他身上一瀉而出！傳奇的弗里茲·賴納本身就是音樂。

更多關(guān)于職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ)的學(xué)習(xí)資源，歡迎關(guān)注"國(guó)才"微信公眾號(hào)（ID：guocaiwx）。"國(guó)才"微信公眾號(hào)關(guān)注國(guó)際人才、國(guó)家人才塑造與發(fā)展，培養(yǎng)能登上世界舞臺(tái)，參與國(guó)際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)與國(guó)際事務(wù)的時(shí)代之才。
