譯文:此外,無(wú)論翻譯得多么精彩,原作中的部分精神也會(huì )丟失。
[講解]現在,我把besides,except,but的區別比較一下:
① except與besides用于肯定句時(shí),except意為“not including除……之外(不再有)”;besides意為“in addition to除……之外(還有)”試比較:
We all passed the exam except Tom.
除Tom沒(méi)及格外,我們都及格了。(Tom沒(méi)及格)
We all passed the exam besides Tom.
除了Tom外,我們也都及格了。(Tom也及格了)
注意:besides在句中的位置較活,可放在句首,亦可放在句中;而except多放在句中。
② except前幾乎總有all,any,every,no及其復合詞等,而besides前可用也可不用,依句意而定。如:
He answered all the questions except the last one.
除最后一個(gè)問(wèn)題沒(méi)有答外,其余問(wèn)題都答了。
I have a few friends besides you.除了你之外,我還有幾個(gè)朋友。
All of them went to Beijing last summer besides Tom.
除了湯姆外,他們去年夏天也都去了北京。
③ except和but都可接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)名詞、動(dòng)詞原形,可以互換;但except后接副詞、介詞短語(yǔ)、when從句等時(shí),but不可替換except。如:
He has always been in high spirits except recently.
除近來(lái)外,他總是精神飽滿(mǎn)。(副詞)
The window is never opened except in summer.
除夏季外,這扇窗戶(hù)從不打開(kāi)。(介詞短語(yǔ))
He has always been busy except when it is Sunday.
除星期日外,他總是很忙。
④ but,except后都可接that從句作賓語(yǔ),but,except可以互換。如I asked nothing from him but/except that he should write to me every other week我只要求他每?jì)芍芙o我寫(xiě)一封信。
⑤ 以上比較了except、besides、but作介詞的區別,另外,besides還可用作副詞,意為“in addition;also;moreover;furthermore而且;還有”的意思。課文中這個(gè)句子里的besides就是它副詞的用法。如:I don't want to go;besides,I am too tired.我不想去,再說(shuō)我也太累了。
This is my best suit;I have two other besides.這是我最好的一套衣服,我另外還有兩套。
[講解]original ①形容詞,意為“原先的、最早的、最初的;非抄襲的、原版的”,此外original還有“新穎的、獨特的、與眾不同的”意思。注意:此詞無(wú)比較級;②名詞,(繪畫(huà)、正式文件等的)原物,原件,原作品。
[例句或例詞]
I am the original owner of the book.我是這本書(shū)的原主人。
an original painting by Xu Beihong徐悲鴻(所作)原畫(huà)
an original idea/invention新穎的見(jiàn)解/發(fā)明

譯文:讀英文詩(shī)歌還能使你開(kāi)啟一扇大門(mén),在那兒,你可以找到更新的用漢語(yǔ)表達思想的方法。
[講解]ex英語(yǔ)前綴意為out,press意為“按、壓”(原意:“壓出”→)及物動(dòng)詞 ①[具體]壓出、榨油;②[抽象](把話(huà)、感受等從心里壓出→)表達、表示。
[例句與例詞]
express juice of oranges榨桔子汁
express what you feel表達個(gè)人感受
Robert can express himself in Chinese now.
羅伯特現在已經(jīng)能用漢語(yǔ)表達思想了。
10.Quietly,we embrace.In a world lit up by words.(P.28)
譯文:我們靜靜地相擁在這個(gè)用語(yǔ)言照亮的世界里。
[講解][em(in的變化) + brace(大括號);原意:“進(jìn)入括號內”→]vt. ①包括,包含(include)→ ②擁抱、摟抱。
[例句]
The moment she saw his son,she embraced him.
看到她的兒子,她就抱他。
That case embraced 3 people.那個(gè)案子涉及3人。
11.Modern English came into being from about the middle of 16th century.(P.28)
譯文:現代英語(yǔ)大約形成于十六世紀中葉。
[講解]come into being(existence)形成、開(kāi)始存在。為不及物動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ),所以不可用被動(dòng);bring...into being(existence)使……形成、存在。
[例句]
When did the universe first come into being?
宇宙是什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始形成的?
Who brought the new regulation into being?這新規定是誰(shuí)制定的?
12.I also like reading,though I used to avoid poetry.(P.31)
譯文:雖然過(guò)去我不愿讀詩(shī)歌,可現在我愿意讀了。
[講解]avoid v.后接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)名詞做賓語(yǔ)。意為:①避開(kāi)、躲避(某人、物)keep oneself away from sb./sth.;②防止發(fā)生(某事);預防stop sth. happening;prevent。注意:avoid后只接動(dòng)名詞做賓語(yǔ),不可接不定式做賓語(yǔ)。
[例句與例詞]
To avoid being caught in the rain,he ran home.
為了不趕上雨,他跑著(zhù)回了家。
I think he is avoiding me.我認為他在躲著(zhù)我。

譯文:開(kāi)始時(shí),我讀一些小詩(shī),現在我更愿意讀長(cháng)詩(shī)。

Ⅱ.Language points and grammar focus語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)與語(yǔ)法重點(diǎn)
A.Language point語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)
師:下面我將依次講解在此欄目中點(diǎn)擊的五個(gè)難點(diǎn)。
1.But whether buses or trains,or boarding aeroplanes,there wasn't a door she'd get through.(P.25)
譯文:但無(wú)論是汽車(chē)還是火車(chē),還是天上的飛機,都沒(méi)有她能進(jìn)的門(mén)。
[講解]“whether...or...”用來(lái)引導讓步狀語(yǔ),意為“無(wú)論/不管……還……”,此外,還可說(shuō)成:“no matter whether...or...”。or后可接not或與前面意義相反的詞。另外有些省略了whether...or...結構,已經(jīng)成為習語(yǔ),如:sink or swim,rain or sunshine等。
[例句]
Whether you go or not,I will go.不管你去還是不去,我都去。
I am going whether it is raining or not.無(wú)論下不下雨,我都要去。

Sink or swim,I shall do it.無(wú)論成敗,我都要承擔此事。

2.Shakespeare is most famous for his plays.(P.25)
譯文:莎士比亞以他的戲劇最為著(zhù)名。
[講解]the most放在多音節形容詞前,意為“最”,是最高級的表達形式。但most前不加the,意為:“非常”,等于“very”。
[例句]
This is the most difficult book I've ever read.
這是我讀過(guò)的最難的一本書(shū)。
This is a most difficult book.
這是一本很難的書(shū)。(This is a very difficult book.)
3.Usually remembered for other work than their poetry are eighteenth century poets such as Pope and Johnson.(P.28)
Greatly loved in China,are the English Romantic poets.(P.28)
譯文:不是因為詩(shī),而是因為其他杰作讓人不能忘懷的還有的18世紀的蒲伯和約翰遜等。
英國浪漫主義詩(shī)人深受中國人的喜愛(ài)。
[講解]在英語(yǔ)中,有時(shí)為了強調句子某個(gè)成分而進(jìn)行倒裝,有的把謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞提前,有的把過(guò)去分詞提前,有的把現在分詞提前。
① 謂語(yǔ)置于句首。如
I'm going back to Washington to fight for it,believe you me.我要回到華盛頓為此而斗爭,你相信我吧。(強調believe)
Go I can't.我不能去。(強調主要動(dòng)詞go)
They have promised to finish the work and finish it they will.他們保證完成這項工作,而且他們一定會(huì )完成的。(強調主要動(dòng)詞finish)
② 過(guò)去分詞置于句首。如:
Also discussed was a proposal to reduce the sales tax...也討論了減少銷(xiāo)售稅的建議……(這里倒裝是由于句子主語(yǔ)較長(cháng))
Also said to be under consideration is a performance in Beijing.據說(shuō)也考慮在北京舉行。(這里過(guò)去分詞與also連用,全句強調主語(yǔ)performance,倒裝也與上下文銜接有關(guān))
③ 現在分詞置于句首。如:
Covering much of the earth's surface is a blanket of water.
地球表面上許多地方都布滿(mǎn)水。
Attending the party were 700 students from 15 universities and colleges.
參加晚會(huì )的有來(lái)自15所大專(zhuān)院校的700名學(xué)生。
4.More and more people are interested to read modern poetry in English.(P.28)
譯文:越來(lái)越多的人們對讀英國的現代詩(shī)歌感興趣。
[講解]be interested in doing sth.表示感興趣的事情不太具體,是抽象概念;be interested to do sth.表示感興趣的事情很具體。
[例句]
Are you interested in playing football?你對足球感興趣嗎?
I'd be interested to hear your opinion about this.
我到想聽(tīng)聽(tīng)你對這個(gè)事情的看法。
5.Reading poetry in English also opens the door to finding new ways of expressing yourself in Chinese.(P.28)
譯文:讀英文詩(shī)歌還能使你開(kāi)啟一扇大門(mén),在那兒,你可以找到更新的用漢語(yǔ)表達思想的方法。
[講解]注意本句中to為介詞,介詞to后表示有動(dòng)作的意味時(shí),該詞用其動(dòng)名詞形式。類(lèi)似的結構還有:be used to doing sth.習慣于做某事;devote...to doing sth把……貢獻給……;contribute...to doing sth把……貢獻給……;look forward to doing sth.盼望做某事。
[例句]
He is used to getting up early.他已習慣早起床了。
He has contributed himself to serving the people.
他把自己的一切都獻給了為人民服務(wù)上。
He is looking forward to seeing you soon.他正盼望早些見(jiàn)到你。
B.Grammar focus語(yǔ)法重點(diǎn)
The Past Participle used as Adverbial
用作狀語(yǔ)的過(guò)去分詞
本單元課文中出現了許多過(guò)去分詞作狀語(yǔ)的句子,您能把這一語(yǔ)法現象講解一下嗎?
師:無(wú)論過(guò)去分詞作狀語(yǔ)還是現在分詞作狀語(yǔ),分詞的邏輯主語(yǔ)都要和主句的主語(yǔ)一致。過(guò)去分詞與主句的主語(yǔ)應是被動(dòng)關(guān)系。過(guò)去分詞作狀語(yǔ),表示時(shí)間、原因、讓步或伴隨等,這種過(guò)去分詞通常相當于狀語(yǔ)從句。下面我將舉例說(shuō)明。
1)表時(shí)間
(When the metal is)Heated,the metal expands.加熱后,這種金屬會(huì )膨脹。(The couple took good care of the baby while(the couple was)occupied by their work.這對夫婦一邊工作,一邊很好地照顧這個(gè)嬰兒。
像第二句那樣當強調實(shí)踐概念時(shí),過(guò)去分詞之前可用連詞when,while。
2)表原因
(As he was)Greatly surprised,he couldn't say a word.
他大吃一驚,一時(shí)說(shuō)不出話(huà)來(lái)。
(Because she was)Scolded by the teacher,the girl felt unfair.
那姑娘因受老師責備,而憤憤不平。
3)表讓步
Even if(I were)invited,I wouldn't go.即使受邀請,我也不愿去。
Though(they were)defeated again and again,they went on fighting.盡管一再遭受挫敗,他們仍然繼續戰斗。
4)表伴隨
He stared at me(he was)astonished.他兩眼瞪著(zhù)我,驚恐萬(wàn)狀。
Einstein walked along the street,(he was)lost in thought.愛(ài)因斯坦漫步街頭,沉浸在思索中。
Ⅲ.Skills of the four essential abilities:listening,speaking,reading and writing聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀、寫(xiě)四項基本能力的學(xué)習技巧

我們以前學(xué)過(guò)這類(lèi)檢測點(diǎn)包含明確對話(huà)中一方的愿望、請求或即將要做的事的簡(jiǎn)短對話(huà)的聽(tīng)力技巧嗎?
師:我們在第一章的最后一節學(xué)過(guò)應對檢測點(diǎn)集中于對話(huà)中的“一方要求另一方做某事”的聽(tīng)力題的方法。“一方要求另一方做某事”實(shí)際上就是一方的愿望或請求,或即將要做的事。
在第一章這一節里,我們分析過(guò)被檢測或被設問(wèn)這類(lèi)對話(huà)的三個(gè)特點(diǎn)。①在反映一方的愿望或要求中,肯定有要求另一方做或不做某事的祈使句、建議句或請求句;②一方的愿望或請求反映在他/她否定了另一方的請求或要求后做出的反要求中;③一方的愿望或要求反映在他/她解釋性話(huà)語(yǔ)的邏輯推理中。
這類(lèi)檢測題與第一章第十節的設問(wèn)形式一樣嗎?
師:一樣。仍是下列這些設問(wèn)形式:
1.What does the man/woman ask/advise the woman/man(not)to do?
2.What does the man/woman want/tell the woman/man(not)to do?
3.What does the man/woman order/warn the woman/man(not)to do?
4.What is the man/woman going to do?
5.What does the man/woman wish/promise the woman/man to do?
我們應該熟悉這些設問(wèn)形式,只要在審題時(shí)讀到這類(lèi)設問(wèn),就可以立刻確定這段對話(huà)的一個(gè)重要檢測點(diǎn),那么這類(lèi)較長(cháng)對話(huà)的另一設問(wèn)應該用什么有效的方法應對呢?
師:我們應該把從上述設問(wèn)審題節省的時(shí)間用于另一設問(wèn)的審題,再迅速而準確地確定另一設問(wèn)的檢測點(diǎn),并且努力從兩個(gè)設問(wèn)與選項里找到它們內在的聯(lián)系。
這類(lèi)聽(tīng)力題的較長(cháng)對話(huà)有什么共同的特點(diǎn)嗎?
師:剛才我已經(jīng)羅列了這種較長(cháng)對話(huà)的三個(gè)特點(diǎn),根據這三個(gè)特點(diǎn),在聽(tīng)對話(huà)錄音時(shí),要把主要精力集中在被檢測方表示愿望或請求的話(huà)語(yǔ)上,從中得出正確答案,同時(shí)對在對話(huà)中出現的另一設問(wèn)的檢測點(diǎn)的相關(guān)線(xiàn)索,也應非常敏感,迅速把握,正確做出判斷。
可否用一實(shí)例把上面您講授的審題與聽(tīng)音的方法在解決具體問(wèn)題的過(guò)程中做些演示?
師:請看下例:
1.What is the man going to do soon?
A.Have a sound sleep.
B.Leave for a holiday.
C.Go to heaven to enjoy himself.
2.What does the woman ask the man to do when he gets there?
A.To have a good rest.
B.To write her a letter.
C.To give her a phone call.
請你分析一下這兩個(gè)設問(wèn)及其選項給你提供了些什么信息。
從第一個(gè)設問(wèn)中,我們可以知道對話(huà)中的男方即將要做的事有三種可能:A.好好地睡一覺(jué);B.外出度假;C.上天堂自得其樂(lè )(這純屬無(wú)稽之談,可在審題時(shí)就將其否定。)那么聽(tīng)音時(shí),首先該把精力集中在男士表示要做的事的話(huà)語(yǔ)上。從第二個(gè)設問(wèn)中,我們可以得知女士請求男士在到那里后有可能做的三件事:A.好好休息;B.給她寫(xiě)封信;C.給她打個(gè)電話(huà)。因此聽(tīng)音時(shí),應很好注意女士所做請求的祈使句。
師:實(shí)際上,你如果細心的話(huà),而且有很強的邏輯推理能力,你基本上不聽(tīng)對話(huà)錄音就能夠選出第一設問(wèn)的正確答案。你來(lái)試試?
從第二個(gè)設問(wèn)里的“當他到那里”這個(gè)狀語(yǔ)從句表達的意思,第一個(gè)設問(wèn)的正確答案應該是B項,您看我選得正確嗎?
師:聽(tīng)完這段對話(huà),你就完全可以自己判斷你的答案是否正確。請聽(tīng)下面這段對話(huà):
M:Sarah,I'm going away for two weeks' vacation.
W:Justin,I envy you indeed.
M:No phones,no alarm clocks,no work.
W:Sounds like heaven.What are you going to do there?
M:Play,eat,sleep,just rest.
W:Well,Justin.Drop me a line when you get there before you start sleeping.
聽(tīng)完這段對話(huà),我確信我剛對第一個(gè)設問(wèn)選的答案是正確的。因為對話(huà)中的男方在對話(huà)一開(kāi)始就說(shuō)他要外出度兩周的假。隨后那女士說(shuō)她很嫉羨這個(gè)男士。男士接下來(lái)描述了他在這兩周的假期中的美好生活:沒(méi)人給他打電話(huà),沒(méi)有鬧鐘響,用不著(zhù)干活,多么地愜意呀!然后女士稱(chēng)贊說(shuō)這聽(tīng)起來(lái)真像是天堂中的生活,并問(wèn)男士在那里打算做些什么事,男士告訴她說(shuō)他要盡情地玩、吃和睡覺(jué),足足地休息。最后女士囑咐他說(shuō)睡覺(jué)前記住drop her a line,雖然我以前沒(méi)學(xué)過(guò)drop sb. a line,但我可以有把握地說(shuō)這個(gè)詞組的詞義是給她寫(xiě)封信。因為A項的內容是與睡覺(jué)重復的動(dòng)作,而C項的“給她打個(gè)電話(huà)”都與前面聽(tīng)到的對話(huà)內容不大吻合。所以我選B項。您看我的解題過(guò)程使用上面您介紹的審題與聽(tīng)音的方法了嗎?
師:首先我應告訴你,你選的答案是完全正確的。然后我可以從你解題的效果來(lái)檢證你的學(xué)習情況的優(yōu)劣。另外,我還應指出,做這類(lèi)較長(cháng)對話(huà)的聽(tīng)力題,審題仍是正確解題的前提與基礎,而聽(tīng)音過(guò)程是驗證自己在審題過(guò)程中所做的推斷是否正確,進(jìn)一步核實(shí)或否定自己審題時(shí)的推斷。
2.Oval practice口語(yǔ)訓練
Learn how to express one's intention and decision
學(xué)會(huì )表達自己的意圖和決定
我們應該如何用英語(yǔ)表達我們的意圖或意向呢?
師:表達自己的意圖或意向有一些不同的表達方式,有的直截了當,有的委婉和緩,有的語(yǔ)氣十分強烈。倘若選擇不當,或因不了解西方文化背景,很可能導致本可以避免的麻煩。我們中國人常詢(xún)問(wèn)他人:“今天下午你要干什么呀?”“你打算什么時(shí)候結婚?”“你準備什么時(shí)候把夫人接來(lái)呀?我們很想看看她長(cháng)得是否與你般配呀?”如此等等。雖然這些表達意愿和希望的話(huà)語(yǔ)都是關(guān)心與友好的表示,但它們很不符合西方人對個(gè)人隱私的看法和態(tài)度,因為上述詢(xún)問(wèn)的事純屬西方人認為個(gè)人的隱私,除非是被詢(xún)問(wèn)人的至愛(ài)至親,否則應采取“只可聞不可問(wèn)”的態(tài)度。
在英語(yǔ)表示一般愿望時(shí),我們常常用I want to...;I hope to...或I'd like to...,如要表示那些強烈但又實(shí)現可能性不大的愿望或是希望過(guò)去業(yè)已發(fā)生的事沒(méi)有發(fā)生的意向時(shí),則用I wish that從句;How I wish that從句;If only...等句式。
要表達的意愿只是一種將來(lái)的安排時(shí),英語(yǔ)往往采用下列句式:I'm/We've going to...;I/We plan to...;I will...或I won't...等。
在別人邀請你或要求你做某事,但你不太愿意做某事時(shí),你可以這樣表示:I think it will be too difficult to...;I'm not very interested in...so...;I think it will be boring to...;I don't feel like...;I'd rather(not)do...。這些表達方式比較委婉。
我們應該怎樣用英語(yǔ)表達我們所做的決定呢?
師:在我們表示所做的決定時(shí),我們常用以下這些表達方式,如:
1.I'm confident I've made the right choice.
2.I'm anxious to know what your decision is.
3.I've definitely decided to go to France.
4.You shouldn't say anything to influence my decision.
5.It took me a long time to make up my mind.
6.I want to persuade you to change your mind.
7.I always refuse to change my mind when I've made a decision.
8.I know it's inconvenient,but I still want to do it anyway.
請您給我們舉幾個(gè)表示意圖和決定的對話(huà)實(shí)例,好嗎?
師:請看以下四個(gè)表示意愿或決定的對話(huà)實(shí)例:
[例1]
A:I'm interested to listen to the lecture about the Big Bang and black holes.
B:Why are you interested in that lecture?
A:Firstly because I'm anxious to know what time is,how the universe began and what black holes exactly are;secondly because I hope to see Stephen Hawking,the greatest scientist of our modern time.
[例2]
A:I'd like to know about how the news we read in newspapers is made and written.
B:If you're interested in such matters,you'd better have a talk with Chen Ying or Zhu Lin,two of our talented journalists.They'll help you to know the procedure about how the news is made and written.
A:Could you please let me have a talk with any of them?
B:Sure,I'll phone Chen Ying at once to see when he is free and convenient to talk with you.
[例3]
A:I'd like to know something more about Chinese traditional architecture.Could you please recommend some books about it?
B:Sorry.I'm not interested in that subject,so I hardly know anything about it.You'd better ask Professor Gu for advice.
[例4]
A:I'm anxious to know what your final decision is,to accept the position or to refuse it?
B:I've definitely decided to refuse it.
A:But you could get a good salary if you accepted the position.
B:You shouldn't say anything to influence my decision.I'm confident I've made the right choice this time.
3.Reading skills閱讀技巧
Mastering the accurate meaning of some key phrases is the foundation of having a good understanding of some difficult sentences
準確理解詞組的正確內涵是提高閱讀能力的基礎
師:英語(yǔ)中大量的詞組經(jīng)常被使用,是一種極為常見(jiàn)的語(yǔ)言現象。詞組的意思往往大大地有別于組成這些詞組的單詞的詞義,如果望文生義,就會(huì )造成理解上的偏差、謬誤甚至是笑話(huà),因此準確理解詞組的正確內涵也是提高閱讀理解能力的重要技巧之一。

反復地閱讀了這首兩段的英語(yǔ)詩(shī),我們注意到英語(yǔ)詩(shī)也有著(zhù)嚴格的節奏和韻律。在這首詩(shī)的兩個(gè)段落里,每段都是四行,第一行與第三行含有八個(gè)音節,第二行與第四行有六個(gè)音節。第一段的一、三兩行的尾韻壓在[eik]上;二、四兩行的尾韻壓在[]上。第二段的一、三兩行的尾韻壓在[ip]上,而二、四兩行的尾韻壓在[]上。由此可見(jiàn)英語(yǔ)詩(shī)也是很講究節奏與音韻上的美感,讀起來(lái)朗朗上口。
這首詩(shī)的題目為《民族的力量》,在這首詩(shī)里詩(shī)人熱情地謳歌了那些為了真理和榮譽(yù)無(wú)私無(wú)畏地奮斗著(zhù)的中堅力量,詩(shī)歌是這樣贊美這些英雄的:
不是黃金,只有人
才能使民族偉大而強盛;
為了真理,為了榮譽(yù),
他們意志堅定,歷盡艱辛。
他們無(wú)所畏懼,別人睡覺(jué)他們做工,
別人逃遁他們大顯神勇;
他們深深地埋下民族的支柱,
并將石柱舉起支撐天空。
讀懂這首詩(shī),我們在【難點(diǎn)解析】中講述的介紹詩(shī)歌的三個(gè)段落可以表述如下,僅供參考。
A Review of the Poem A Nation's Strength
The poem entitled A Nation's Strength was written by an American poet named Ralph waldo Emerson,who was a representative of apriorist writers as well as a poet.In this poem he warmly sang high praises of the backboues of a great nation,who,for the sake of the truth and honor,fight and work selflessly and fearlessly.
This poem clearly shows the great image of the nation's backbone:who stand fast and suffer long for truth and honor's sake,and who work while others sleep.There fore,they build a nation's pillar deep,and make a people great strong.After reading this poem,I am determined to become a member of the nation's backbone when I grow up.
Though the poem is short,the ideas it expresses are deep.The language in the poem is simple,but the rhythm and the rhyme are not only beautiful but easy to read aloud and learn by heart.
