1. He told Yu Gong he could never do it because he was old
and
weak.
weak adj. 虚弱的；无力的
weak 在此处意为“虚弱的；无力的”，反义词为 strong（强壮
的）。
e.g. At the hospital, my body was weak, but my mind was still
very clear.
【拓展延伸】
1. weak还可表示“不擅长的；（能力）弱的；懦弱的”。
be weak in 意为“在……方面差”，相当于 be bad at 。
e.g. Geography is my weak subject.
2. weak 的名词形式为 weakness，意为“懦弱；衰弱；弱点，缺
点”。
e.g. He thought crying was a sign of weakness.
3.weak 还可表示“稀的；稀释的”。

possible
unless you try to make it happen.

【拓展延伸】

not at all。

4. But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains?
instead of 代替；反而
instead 与 instead of 两者都有“代替”的含义，其区别如下：
