新概念三册教学大纲

第一课 A Puma at large

1. spot 这个单词不管是动词也好名词也好,意思总和“点”有关系:

作为动词可以理解为“在很宽广的地方看到的一点”或者“突然看到一样东西”

比如:He spotted his friend in the crowd.他从人群里认出了他的朋友。 作为名词可以理解为“现场”或“斑点”

比如:The leopard cannot change his spots. 江山易改 本性难移 (狗改不了吃*)

spotty adj皮肤有斑点的a spotty face一张麻脸a spotty dog一只斑点狗

2. evidence证据

不可数名词an important piece of evidence一件重要的证据 evident adj明显的

vid-, vis-看见: visual video

3. accumulate(长期地)积累 注意和59课amass的区别

4. oblige虽然和force 意思差不多,但往往用被动语态 be obliged to do sth

用被动

feel / be obliged to do sth觉得有义务作某事,只得做某事

compel, force, constrain, oblige 这些动词均含“迫使”之意。

compel:指在法律、权力、力量或行动等的驱使下被迫而为。

force:指用个人意志、权力、权威或暴力等,迫使他人改变看法或做本不愿做的事。

constrain:侧重施加约束力或有约束作用的影响,也指环境对人强加的影响迫使人去做某事,尤指受良心、情感等内在力量驱使去做某事。 oblige:指由于生理上或道德上的需要,促使某人做某事,也指有权威的人或机构迫使某人做某事,还可指在特定情况下被迫作出的反应。

lig-绑,obligation n义务,职责 obligatory adj强制性的obligatory courses必修课

5. corner 的词组

drive sb into a tight corner 把某人逼入死角

sb is politically / financially / emotionally cornered 陷入了政治,经济,感情危机

名词转化动词用 符合用语经济原则

6. Trail 这个单词万变不离其宗,“一长条”的感觉:

战士一边走一边滴血 a trail of blood 游客一边走一边丢垃圾 a trail of litter

The car raced past, leaving a trail of dust.汽车疾驰而过,扬起一缕灰尘。

甚至用作动词,把握“一长条”就优美句子一挥而就:

1

新娘长裙拖在身后 her long dress is trailing on the floor

tr- trace痕迹track人兽的足迹,车辆轨迹travel旅行trip旅行trek徒步旅行,艰苦跋涉tread踩,踏 trudge步履艰难地走 tramp流浪汉(3/27);徒步走(3/48)

7. convince使信服convince sb of sth I convinced him of my honesty. vinc-, vict-征服invincible adj不可征服的,难以克服的victory胜利victorious胜利的,convincing adj有说服力的

[口语]—————————— [写作] believe convince (太主观)

know understand I see

I think In my opinion to my knowledge personally

as far as I know 8. disturb令人不安,打扰

turb- 搅动perturb vt使心烦意乱(3/39)turbulence n动乱,骚动

9.at large

1)贬义:(指危险的人或动物)逍遥自在的Two of the escaped prisoners are

still at large.两个逃犯仍然逍遥法外。 2) 中性:自由 不受约束free without control: 班主任走了 同学们自由了

students are at large.

(本文的at large更多指哪一项呢?各抒己见吧)

10.Cat-like 这个词可以超级模仿:childlike woman-like ghost-like

11. 同位语从句

同位语从句就是在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从句。

A. 同位语从句的功能

同位语从句对于名词进一步解释,说明名词的具体内容,一般由that引导,例 如:

1) The king’s decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people.

2) The order that all the soldiers should stay still is given by the general.

B. 同位语在句子中的位置

同位语从句有时可以不紧跟在它所说明的名词后面,而是被别的词隔开。例 如:

He got the news from Mary that the sports meeting was put off.

2

C. 同位语从句与定语从句的区别 1) 定语从句中的that既代替先行词,同时以在从句中作某个成分(主语或宾 语),而同位语从句中的that是连词,只起连接主句与从句的作用,不充当句中任何成分。

2) 定语从句是形容词性的,其功能是修饰先行词,对先行词加以限定,描述 定的性质或特征;同位语从句是名词性的,其功能是对名词进行补充说明。例如: 1) The news that he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.(他告诉我的消息是汤姆明年将出国。)(第一个that引导的从句是定语从句,that在从句中作宾语)2)The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.(汤姆将出国的消息是他讲的。)(同位语从句,that在句中不作任何成分)

12.reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted 45 miles south of London 如果我们把中文的译文拿出来一对照便会发现什么问题?中文是“伦敦动物园收到报告??”。中文长期的语言习惯喜欢用人或者是有生命的东西作主语;而英文则更加注重事情的发展和效果,因此多用没有生命的物体作主语。这点差异在后面的课文中也会经常出现:比如“我不感到这个有什么奇怪”,按中文语序硬译为I didn’t regard it as odd, 比较一下课本中出现的一个更加符合英文思维的句子: It didn’t strike me as odd. 语序则迥然相异,这些要靠大家细心研读方可体会。

13. descriptions given by people woman picking blackberries

这两短语都是由定语从句演变而来,前者原型为“descriptions which were

given by people”.后者原型为”woman who picked blackberries”

那大家有没有考虑过,作者为什么要把定语从句改成分词形式?这里牵涉到

了句子的锤炼。这种写作方式有两个好处:

一,与定语从句比较,分词结构跟在名词后面不但衔接更加紧凑,而且 轻便简练,使文字干净利落。英语文章要力求凝练、言简意赅。 二,能够避免句型的重复。

大家试想一下,如果我们把descriptions given by people还原成定语从句,整句话就变成: for the descriptions which were given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar. 大家读后会有什么感觉?短短一句话出现两次定语从句,是不是相当呆板乏味?注意:写文章除了要考虑单词使用的多样化,也不能忽视句型的多样化。一篇好文章会相当注重句式的选择和调整,交错运用多种句式,使文气有张有弛,文章波澜起伏,从而达到更为理想的表达效果。 我们来举个例子,请大家翻译一句话:我找到了通向那片森林的小道,而这片森林是我曾经梦见过的。试比较两种做法:

I found a path which led to the forest which I dreamed of. I found a path leading to the forest which I dreamed of. 孰高孰低,一目了然。

14. prove联系动词,一般不用被动 ,因为它本身就解释为:be found to be 类似主动表被动的词还有:sell write wash escape等

prove证明是,结果是,跟to be 引起的短语做表语,to be也可以省去。 His story porved (to be) false.他的一番话后来证明是假的。

3

He proved (to be) a coward. Perhaps this book will prove (to be) of some use to you in your studies.

15. leave behind it a trail of 倒装 平衡句子

作者为什么要推翻正常语序呢?大家自己写文章的时候也要注意,什么时候要将语序变换一下,或倒装、或前置?变换语序的作用一般有两个:起强调作用或使句子平衡。如果把behind it部分移至句子末尾,给人感觉句子前面部分很长,收尾却十分“仓促”,难免会给人一种头重脚轻的感觉,读起来毫无美感可言。而把behind it部分挪到句子中间,感觉句子首尾就平衡了,句型也优美了许多。这样的例子在新概念三这本书中比比皆是,例如第7课中有这么一句话:Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and, without realizing it, cooked her fiancé’s wallet as well.。作者这里就是把without realizing it这个地点状语提前,目的也是避免句子的头重脚轻。可见,我们平时作文的时候,千万不能墨守成规,盲目遵循常规语序,在必要的时候不妨将句子语序进行灵活调整,效果会更好。例如:把一大袋装有糖和巧克力的包放在桌子上,一般语序是 put a bag full of sweets and chocolates on the desk, 但这个宾语太长,让人感觉头轻脚重,改成put on the desk a bag full of sweets and chocolates 感觉就好多了。

16. a number of许多

越来越多的--- an increasing / growing number of---

An increasing number of students have realized the importance of computer-literacy.

more and more: More and more people are becoming more and more wealthy and buy more and more TV sets.

17.be in the possession of sb / be in possession of区别 :前者被动 后者主动

The house is in the possession of the old lady. 这所房子归这个老太太所有。

The old lady is in possession of the house.这个老太太拥有这个房子。 in pursuit/ search of

Possess

have, hold, own, possess, keep, enjoy 这些动词均有“有,具有,持有”之意。

have:最常用词,可指任何情况下的具有,无论是物质的或精神的。 hold:指拥有并保持财产及持有见解等,暗示不让别人拿走或占有。

own不及本组的possess正式,多指所属关系,强调所有权,不管所属物是否在物主手中。

possess:较正式,指拥有或占有并能加以控制与支配,强调其归属;也指具有某种品质、才能、特点或性能等。

keep:指长时间地保有,保存某物,防止别人占去,强调安全和感情上的依附。 enjoy:指享有某种权利或长处,带有欣赏或喜爱的情感。

第六课 Smash and grab

1. smash – and – grab 是个比较特殊的构词法:两个动词构成。这个词意思是:smash

smash 后面可以加:world record 打破世界记录,hope 某人的希望破灭 , smash the drug ring 粉碎贩毒集团

grab(动作)抢夺 rob(犯罪行为)抢劫 grasp掌握 hold tight抱住 seize抓住(机遇等抽象) clutch抓牢某物(无法移动)

13.注意 thousands of pounds worth of diamonds 和 diamonds worth

thousands of pounds 的转换

第七课 Mutilated ladies

1. mutilate 狭义上指人的缺胳膊少腿 广义指一样物体因为其重要部分的缺失而使外形受损。

比如,在战场上,被炮弹炸断了胳膊或腿,就可以用这个词。 胳膊和腿当然是人身上的重要部分,缺胳膊少腿我们的外貌必然大受影响,所以英语中可以说:sb is mutilated in the war. 回到这篇文章,一张纸币如果缺一个角或者表面受损,这张纸币的外表也是残缺不全了。因此,残钞的英语就是mutilated note。

2.microwave里面包含一个重点前缀——micro, 是“微小”的意思。通过这个词缀,我们会发现,原来以前要靠死记硬背的单词都是有据可循、一脉相承的。我们可以把以下这些单词归成一类:microsoft (微软),microphone (麦克风),

12

microscope (显微镜),microeconomy ( 微观经济),microshake (微震),这些单词都和“微小”有关。

3. 课题的借代见第4课

4.大面值 large bank note 那么小面值就是small bank note

5. 当你把这张钱从洗衣机里救出来,你会发现他比白纸还白。如果让大家把这句话翻成英文,这个“救”字,同学们第一反应会想到哪个词?是不是 save?那作者为什么不用save,而用rescue? 这就关系到单词的推敲。没错,save 和 rescue是同义词,都有“救”的意思。但同学们要注意了,任何一组同义词,不管它们同属于褒义词,贬义词或是中性词,必定存在着微秒的差异。或是程度轻重(surprise / amaze),或是态度庄谐(mother/mum),或是方式直婉(foolish/unwise)。我们在写作的时候,一定要对这些词反复进行推敲斟酌,琢磨同义词微妙的同中之异,从中挑选一个最恰当的词,切不可不加甄选、敷衍了事。

回到文章的save和rescue, 他们究竟有什么区别?拿大家再熟悉不过的Titanic作例子,当Titanic撞上冰山,5个密封舱都进了水,船长表示巨轮将在两个小时之内沉没,那么假设 附近有一艘船要救Titanic号上的乘客,我们可以用save。但事实上当时附近并没有船,两个小时后Titanic号裂成两截沉入海底,海面上到处漂浮着惊慌失措的遇难者,船员划着小船去救已经冻得奄奄一息的女主角Rose,就应该用rescue了。从这个例子大家能不能体会到save 和rescue 的区别?当不幸的事即将但尚未发生的时候,实施一种救援行为,我们用save,而当悲剧酿成之后,实施一种补救性质的救援行为,我们用rescue。大家知道这个区别后,我们结合文章来分析。假设并不是像文章中所说,而是这个人把衣服扔进洗衣机,在按动洗衣按钮的那一瞬间,一下子想起口袋里还有这个月省下来的100块私房钱,赶紧把钱“救”了出来,这里用save更加妥当。因为纸币还没有被损坏,不幸的事尚未发生。但文章中要描述的情景是:这100块私房钱已经和衣服一起在洗衣机里折腾了有一段时间(第二句的then表示这个人过了好一会才缓过神来,为第三句描述纸币的面目全非打下伏笔:be whiter than white),这种情况下,在这个人眼里,一场悲剧已经上演,他再去挽救,用rescue是不是更贴切呢?

关于rescue和save讲了这么多,希望大家今后写文章中要字斟句酌,注意同义词的推敲。牢记Mark Twain说的那句话:The difference between the right word and the almost right word is just like lightening and lightening bug. 适当的词和看似适当的词,他们的区别就好像闪电和萤火虫一样(外貌酷似,内涵却大相径庭) 6. feed这个词,它最常用的意思是饲养,喂(动物或者婴儿),也可以引申为照料植物。作者把dog作为feed的宾语,我们不会有异议,而这里怎么把机器也作为feed的宾语呢?因为作者找出了他们的共性,洗衣机的那个翻盖就好像是动物的嘴巴一样,公用一个feed,用的及其精当,妙不可言。同时这也是一种拟人拟物的修辞手法,它给人一种形象的感觉,使动态更传神,另作者笔下生辉!那么除了机器之外,储蓄罐、自动售货机, 公交车上的投币箱都可以成为feed的对

13

象( feed the money box, feed the vendor 等等),因为他们有个像“口”的部分。

7. A recent case concerns Jane Butlin whose fiancé, John runs a successful furniture business.最近的一个例子和Jane有关,她的未婚夫John经营了一家生意兴隆的家具店。

8.特别要指出:a recent case concerns sb 这种由结论过渡到具体例子的衔接性句子。大家应该记得在新概念三册第四课也出现过这样的过渡性句子:??., as it did in the case of sb。 这两个经典结构希望大家能暗记于心,写文章的时候可以信手拈来,为自己文章平添几分地道的英文色彩。在眼下各类英语考试中,时不时拿出这样的新概念钻石句型show一下,必会让考官对你刮目相看。

我们举个例子:我们学校有很多三好学生,玛丽就是这么个例子,她门门科都拿第一。

There are many straight-A students in our school, as it did in the case of Mary, who is a tip student in every subject.

There are many straight-A students in our school. A case concerns Mary who is a tip student in every subject. 9.go horse-riding。它是我们熟悉的go doing sth的变体(比如,go fishing, go swimming 等等),就是这里的doing是一个n.+doing的复合词。像go horse-riding这样的构词法,我们再补充几个例子:出去骑自行车兜风 go bicycle-riding ; 去放风筝 go kite-flying ; 出去观光 go sight-seeing ; 只逛街不花钱 go window-shopping。

10.beautifully-cooked 这个词组很好的表现出了当时那对准夫妻的心态。他们眼看着一天辛辛苦苦赚来的钱就这么付之东流了,心情应该是沮丧的,但从beautifully-cooked这个词里丝毫看不出沮丧,反倒有点轻松的意味。作者这里用了一个修辞手法——反语(irony),反语除了能起讽刺作用以外,在这里更加表达了作者一种善意的幽默俏皮,营造轻松活泼的气氛。这样的写法反映出作者,或者更大一点说,老外那种积极乐观的人生态度,天塌下来了都不怕,灾难当头了还不忘记幽默一把。类似于这样的反语我们后面的一篇课文也有一例:某人被海关怀疑藏有未经申报的物品,官员们把他拦下,双方折腾了很久才真相大白,他是冤枉的。在耽搁了那么长时间后,这个人匆匆忙忙地继续赶路,作者这样写道:hurry away with precious chalk marks on the baggage。其中precious一词也是反语,表现出老外的那种乐观大度,风趣幽默,一场尴尬,一切不愉快,,随着一个单词便烟消云散了。这种写法 52课 58课都有出现

第八课 A famous monastery

1. watchdog n看门狗;监督部门a watchdog committee检查委员会 注意中西方对狗的观点不同

14

2.rash adj 轻率的,草率的

a rash decision草率的决定 a rash promise 轻许的诺言

3.Enclosure enclose

和surround相比 enclose 专指用篱笆 栏杆围起来

另外它还能指信件“随函附上”Enclosed, you will find ???.. cl-封闭,隐藏close关上disclose,泄露closet壁橱include包括exclude

不包括clothes衣服

4.connect vt联系起来connect A and B; connect A to / with B把---和---联系起来

5.At ?.meters. 学会表示海拔高度的句型

比如: At 1980 meters, Heavenly Lake is the highest tourist attraction in China.

6.试比较there are still a few people who attempt to cross / a few people still attempt to cross为什么作者选用前者?我们可以想象一下英国的民族特性,他们的举手投足之间总是那样的有翩翩的绅士风度,讲话表达也带有不紧不慢的优雅之风。他们往往把return说成get back,听上去不那么生硬,就好像他们讲到“因为”不喜欢用because, 而更多的用for一样;讲到“曾经”不爱用once而用there was a time when;讲到“很多人怎么怎么样”不用many people do something, 而更偏爱there are countless people who??等等等等,所有这一切都给人一种娓娓道来的感觉。看来,多多研究一下老外的脾性,分析一下老外的思维方式,也能使我们的文章更为native一点。

7.降 drop

描述数量增减的常用动词

升:increase, rise, go up, climb, crawl, soar, shoot up, rocket, jump, hit

降:decrease, decline, drop, slip, fall, tumble, nosedive, plummet. The number of --- dropped / went sharply down to--- in 1999.

The number of --- climbed / jumped / rose suddenly / went sharply up / soared to ---.

There was an evident / obvious / apparent increase in --- from --- to ---

The number of --- increased / rose steadily / gradually from --- to ---

There was a steady / gradual increase / rise in the number of --- from --- to ---

There was a slight / slow increase / rise in the number of --- from --- to

The number of ---increased / rose / slightly / slowly f

8. prefer --- to ---

I much prefer dogs to cats.比起猫,我更喜欢狗。

15

She prefers singing to acting.太喜欢唱歌胜过喜欢表演。→ P69:Ex5 prefer to do sth rather than do sth

I prefer to read rather than sit idle.我宁愿读书,不愿闲坐着。 He preferred to stay at home rather than go with us.他宁愿呆在家里,而不愿和我们一块去。

9. Receive a warm welcome

新概念三还注重“旧词翻新”。课文中不少单词因为学生早早就接触到,往往会被忽略,殊不知英语单词本身含义颇深,又受文化、语境的影响,在句子中表达的意思千变万化。所以新概念三的单词学习强调挖掘单词的本质,掌握词汇含义的精华。比如,receive这个单词没有同学会说不认识,但若只会用它来造receive a letter, receive a gift这样的词组,那和二册的学生有什么区别呢?在新概念三中我们会学到,receive的宾语可以不仅限于具体的实物,还可以是抽象的效果。因此在新概念三中接触了receive a warm welcome, receive a rude reply, receive praise and abuse, receive a great deal of attention 等词组后,对于receive这个单词将会有更深刻的理解和更灵活的运用。

10.关于本文背景介绍:

瑞士是欧洲中部的一个小国家,与法国、德国、奥地利、意大利接壤。国家虽小,里面的人却有三种官方语言:German, French and Italian.瑞士境内多山,大约60%的面积属于阿尔卑斯山区.从飞机上看下去:瑞士既有白雪皑皑的高峰,又有郁郁葱葱的丘壑,还有碧波荡漾的水上景色。不是有篇课文说嘛:The Great St.Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. 圣伯纳德大山口连接着瑞士和意大利。这里我们来认识一下文章 著名修道院 里的主角——St.Bernard dog。

圣伯纳德狗体形极大,大约190磅。它们是救生天使,穿行在白雪皑皑的阿尔卑斯山巅营救在瑞士的阿尔卑斯山区迷路或失踪的人,以具带传奇性的救护能力著名。当avalanche (雪崩)发生了,行人被困在雪地里,圣伯纳德狗就会出动,即使深陷2、3米深的厚雪,它们也能开出道来,所以营救身陷雪崩的登山者是再合适不过了。因此被瑞士人视为国宝。

但据近来报道,大名鼎鼎的瑞士圣伯纳德营救犬要下课了。因为体大力壮,搜救犬消耗惊人,每天至少要吃2公斤肉,人们已无力喂养。此外,近年来直升机及其他现代营救设备已逐渐取代搜救犬的功能,据说过去50年间圣伯纳德犬再没有营救过一个人。圣伯纳德狗作为营救卫士的时代终于一去不复返。

第九课 Flying cats

1. sth fascinate sb 经典句式 = sb be interested in sth/ sb be fond of sth/ sb like sth/ sb be crazy about sth fascinate 程度较 attract更深一层

2.affectionate adj亲切的,充满深情的

an affectionate couple恩爱的一对an affectionate hug亲切的拥抱affection n挚爱,慈爱He feels / has a deep affection for his daughter.

16

他非常疼爱她的女儿。

fect-做effect n效果,影响affect vt影响affected做作的affectation n装腔作势defect n缺点perfect adj完美的

3.A is submissive to B= A submit to B miss, mit投,送missile n导弹mission n使命,使节emit vt释放出intermit dismiss解散

正因为mit本意是传送,submit本意指由下往上传,上交 submit the essay to the professor

4. never fail to do 双重否定 双重否定,表示肯定的意思

never/ not./ hardly/ no 等否定词+without There is no fire without smoke. It is not uncommon--- 司空见惯的是 It is not uncommon to see young loves billing and cooing in the street. It is not unusual that when a child has a problem, he often turns to his intimate friends for sympathy and advice, leaving his parents totally in the dark.

5.注意 be suspected of 与 be suspicious of 的区别

注意suspicious 的两个意思

6.remain v联系动词,保持不变,后面可以直接跟形容词、名词、分词做表语。

Despite the danger, she remained calm.尽管面临危险,她仍保持冷静。 She remained a widow for the rest of her life.她丈夫去世后他一直没有再嫁人。

The situation remains unchanged.形势依然没有改变。

He remained standing for a good hour.他足足站了一个小时。

7.定语从句与同位语从句的区别

第一,同位语从句只能跟在少数抽象名词的后面(belief, fact, announcement, news, idea, thought, hope, report, question);而定语从句的先行词不受限制。

第二,同位语从句与其先行词之间是解释与被解释的关系;而定语从句于其先行词之间是修饰与被修饰的关系。比较:

The rumor (that) he spread everywhere turned out to be not true.定语从句

The rumor that Tom was a thief turned out to be not true.同位语从句

8.There is a good deal of truth in what you say 你说得很有道理 there is an element of truth in what you say 你说的有那么点道理 (参照12课)

there is little truth in what you say. 你说的没什么道理

17

9.Ability to survive

动词不定式做定语,与所修饰的名词有三种逻辑关系:

1)同位关系

All our attempts to rescue the child from drowning were in vain. 常见的名词有:ability, agreement, ambition, anxiety, arrangement, attempt, claim, decision, determination, eagerness, failure, hope, inclination, need, plan, promise, refusal, resolution, tendency, wish, reluctance, willingness.

2)主谓关系

He is the best man to do the job.他是做这项工作的最佳人选。 The train to arrive is from New York.就要到达的火车是从纽约开来的。

3)动宾关系

I have a letter to write.

I bought a magazine for her to read on plane.我买了一本杂志给他在飞机上看。

在这种情况下,如果动词不定式的动词是不及物的,后面就应该加上适当的介词。

I need a pen to write with. (to write with a pen) 比如下文就有:there are plenty of high-rise windowsills to fall from

如果学生水平太差就这么说:

三“力”和一“梦”,有些名词只能用to do做定语 *right

I have right to vote. *ability

He has ability to speak Spanish. *effort努力

In his effort to run business he earns good money. 很多 *dream

I have a dream to become an artist.

I dream of becoming an artist. 做动词时加of或from

10. Survive earthquake 在地震中幸存

She survived her husband by 3 years 比丈夫多活3年 切记survive是及物动词 后面不要受中文影响加个from

有些动词表面看要加介词,实际上不用

┌survive?(不加介词)幸免 ├interview sb. 会见

├divorce sb. 与?离婚 /marry └contact you联系

The little girl survive the flood. I will marry my daughter to him.

18

get married with sb.

11. have --- in common

中间可以加程度:

The two brothers have little in common.这兄弟俩没有多上共同之处。 We had a great deal in common.我们有很多共同之处。

也可以像课文加具体东西:

说外国人虽然绅士很多,但他们只是一些“假模假式”的绅士。

就拿吃的来说,凡是有四条腿的东西,除了桌子和椅子等外,中国人都会拿来吃。我们认为吃动物是天经地义的事,不必隐讳的。在我们的菜单里,不但可以看到飞禽走兽的名称,而且拿来吃的它们身体的哪一部分也写的很清楚——手,脚,脾,翼以至心,肝,肾,肠等供美食家选择。 外国绅士却没我们这样直率:他们习惯假模假式地骗自己说餐桌上放地并不是他们饲养地禽畜,否则他们会倒胃口的。所以他们对各种动物的肉都采取有别于动物本身的叫法。例如:牛肉不叫cattle meat,而叫beef; 羊肉不叫sheep meat, 而叫 mutton,猪肉叫 pork等等。呵呵,老外这样的做法只是“掩耳盗铃”麻木自己的神经罢了。

14.Practice: thing done frequently 这里代替cooking method

文章防止用词重复 经常用不同词代替同一意思,这里有几段文字,老师们

看了或许也会有启示:

凡是批改学生英语作文的老师都有一种感觉, 学生的用词相当贫乏,词语重复现象非常严重。例如在布置学生写一篇My View on Retirement,某同学会这样写:

Retirement often brings people many problems such as “ What shall I do today” problem, though they may not have economical problems. People observe that apart from economical problems, retirement also brings many psychological problems. Many people often get illnesses and even deteriorate rapidly when people are retired.

这一段东西尽管在语法上没有太大的问题,但实在是令人难以诵读。问题就是有太多 必要的重复。在总共只有46个词的段落中,retirement就重复了两次,problems重复了五次,economical重复了两次,people重复了四次,many重复了三次,often重复了两次。如此高的用词重复率,怎能使文章生动呢?

这段英文翻译成中文是这样的:退休常常带来许多问题,即使没有经济问题,也会碰到“今天我应该做什么事“的问题。人们注意到退休不仅会带来经济上的问题,而且还会带来巨大的心理问题,许多人退休后的人经常得病,甚至身体迅速变坏。

看了中文以后,有人会问:中文里不是也出现了那么多重复吗?到了英文里为什么就 文章黯然失色呢?可见学生作文中词语重复倾向不仅和贫乏的词汇量有关,另一个很重要的原因就是受汉语遣词造句习惯的影响。

汉语是一个意合性语言。汉语中几个相关句子的组织,不是靠连词等语言手段,而主 靠句子内在的意思来连接的。也就是说句子的意思必须清楚明了,歧义性和模糊性要低,句子才能行文连贯流畅。这样,在缺少“因为”,“所以”,“然而”等连词的帮助下,依靠词语的简单重复来增加句子的凝聚力,便是很自然的了。而英语不一样,它是形合性语言,它要有连词保证句子意思的连接,这样它就可以无所顾忌地追求词的变化。

其次,汉语的重复倾向还和其语音文字的特点有密切关系。从美学心理的角

49

度出发, 了读起来顺口,听起来悦耳,文章往往追求音节整齐和均匀,这样就出现某些词的重复。如“脸发红,心发慌”要比“脸发红,心慌得很”顺畅和谐。在汉语口语中我们还会说“谢谢,谢谢”,“对不起,对不起”。而英语的美学观就有所不同。一般不大有人会说“sorry, sorry” 或“thank you, thank you”。

因此在英语写作中“Never use the same word or write the same thing twice in a sentence unless you are repeating intentionally for emphasis or for clarity.”(J.Hodges and M.Whitten: Harbrace College handbook,p244). 用词单一会使语言枯燥无味、苍白无力;而选词多样化可以加强语言的表现力,使文章的表达更丰富。比如刚刚的段落一经改动后味道就完全不同了:

Retirement often brings many problems surrounding the “What shall I do today?” question, even though there may be no economical cares. It has been observed that withdrawal from work, quite aside from exerting financial pressures, brings enormous psychological troubles. Large numbers of people tend to get some illnesses and even deteriorate rapidly when jobless.

在这段文字中,“退休”分别用了Retirement,withdrawal from work和jobless来表达;“问题”分别用了problem,question,care,pressure和trouble来表达;而“许多”,一处用了many,另一处用了enormous,还有一处用了large number of;“经济”的意思和care搭配时用economical,和pressure搭配时用financial;“经常分别用often和tend to表达;“人们”只用了一次people,其余的三处分别用了there be 结构:there may be no economical cares,一个用了被动结构:it has been observed that,一个用了省略结构:when jobless.

类似英语中用词的多样化例子很多,我们不妨再来欣赏几段:

(1) Hard work isn’t the whole story either. Some of these high-achieving students actually put in fewer hours than their lower-scoring classmates. The students at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can easily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of A students. ——Edwin Kiester Secrets of Students

这一段中,讲到“好学生”,作者分别用了high-achieving students,students at the top of the class,A students来表示,而没有单单用good students这个短语。其实我们还可以用outstanding boys and girls 或者students of high abilities, superior students 等短语替代。

(2) The deafening noise, and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on nerves. Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do great injury to delicate lungs. The sudden plunging of a train into the darkness of a tunnel, and the equally sudden rush into full daylight, would cause great damage to eyesight.

这段文字中,讲到“对??有损害”,作者用了三个不同的词组,使读者耳目一新:have a bad effect on,do great injury to和cause great damage。而当表达“猛地冲”这个概念,作者也注意了词的变化,分别用plunge和rush

50

直接跟宾语,为什么这里作者要加一个介词up? 这里的up 起了强调作用,强调前面那个动作的完全、彻底,有completely的意思。因此,up在这里强调,孩子一般并不是满足于把钱放进储蓄罐 而是把储蓄罐填的满满的

up的这种用法,前文也有出现:第7课chew up the money(up在这里强调,狗一般并不是把钱咬成一半或几部分,而是他们喜欢把钱咬得粉碎。)

掌握up这个用法,相信可以解释大家很多的疑团。Have you finished up the dinner?原来你会以为这里的up是画蛇添足了,现在知道了,Up是强调问话人的一种口气:你到底有没有把饭全吃掉?没有up,变成:你吃完饭了吗?句子的语气变浅,问话人想要表达的意思也就变了味。 那么同样,如果你要问孩子: 牛奶你到底喝光了没有?

Have you drunk up the milk? 门有没有完完全全锁好了?

Have you locked up the door? 你的储蓄罐有没有装满啊?

Have you filled up your money box? 我厌烦了城市生活。

I am fed up with life in the city. (feed是“喂”的意思,都把你给喂饱了,你能不厌烦吗?)

70年代末,邓小平同志提出了“改革开放“政策,为什么英语中是open-up policy,而不是单单的open policy, 也是强调我们的开放是全面的开放,是敞开国门,走向世界的开放。

另有一个词与up有着异曲同工之妙的是out,也可以跟在动词后面表示动作的完全性。 比如:die out(死光,绝种),sell out (货物售罄),I gave out (精疲力竭), put out the fire (把火完全扑灭), write/list out the things I want(把我要的东西原原本本列出来)。 参见22课课文

可参考一篇阅读:

35

The New York City Visitor's Bureau says jazz musicians and other entertainers first called New York the Big Apple fifty years ago.

At that time jazz musicians earned money by performing in many cities and towns across the United States. They usually played their music in a different town each night. But the performers would like to play in New York City best of all. New York was the place with the best-paid jobs, the most money to earn, and a greater number of people for jazz music. A performer was not considered successful until he was successful in New York. The early jazz musicians described each town and city in America as an apple on a tree. Naturally they called New York City the Big Apple. Later a night club was named The Big Apple, and a popular dance was also called The Big Apple. But no one except jazz musicians and some entertainers used this term to describe New York City.

About fifteen years ago, the city officials wanted to get more people to visit New York. They needed a new symbol for their city. They remembered the stories of the jazz musicians and began using the Big Apple in their advertisements. The idea worked.

Today so many persons from different parts of the world come and visit New York City every day. They may probably know New York's nickname, though they may not know why the city is called the Big Apple.

纽约是世界特大城市之一,美国最大的金融、商业、贸易和文化中心。由曼哈顿、布朗克斯、布鲁克林、昆斯和里士满5个区组成。

15. angry 拟人用法

可以引申一些修辞手法:

要想写出活泼的句子,优美的文章,还离不开修辞手法的运用。很多学生写文章时,仅仅满足把事情说清楚,平铺直叙,只注重语言通顺不通顺,合理不合理,对语言的运用不作深究,说穿了就是“冷落”修辞手法,忽略了修辞与写作的“攀枝结节”。

下面我们欣赏一些常用的修辞手法:

比喻,拟人—— 比喻能化抽象为形象,拟人能变无灵为有灵;试比较以下两例:

The bad news was a dagger into her heart(隐喻) The bad news knocked at her door at midnight(拟人) 前句说明了坏消息对她的打击如同刀子戳她的心一样难受,通过两者的相似点,使人感到坏消息的强烈程度;后者把坏消息突然变成一个撞击房门的一个活生生的人,说明了坏消息在深更半夜突然而至。这比起简单说She got the bad news at midnight形象多了。

夸张—— 夸张能强化语义,突出形象,渲染感情。试比较以下两例: She was extremely anxious.(她十分地紧张)。意思一目了然,表现却显得单薄。如果改成She had her heart in her mouth.是不是味道完全不一样了?同样再看一句

She went home, crying terribly.

She went home in a flood of tears./ She went home, tears streaming down.

与加以夸张手法的后者相比,前者要黯然失色了许多吧?

反语 —— 反语可以表示挖苦讽刺,有时更增添幽默诙谐的情趣,让你的语言更俏皮:

If people keep telling you to quit smoking, don’t listen? They are probably trying to trick you into living longer. (如果有人苦口婆心劝你戒烟,不要理他??他们大概是想骗你活得长些) 这是美国防癌协会的一则戒烟广告。它改变了正面说教的传统方式,而采用了反语方式进行规劝。烟民们会在反语中受到警惕:惟有戒烟才有利于健康,才能活得长久。可见,在一定语

38

言环境中,反语比正说更有力量,更能起到效果。

押韵 —— 通过相同(相似)音节的重复很容易引起读者的注意,使语句具有和谐的韵律美:

Our hopes, our hearts, our hands are with those on every continent who are building democracy and freedom. 我们的希望,我们的内心,我们的双手与各大洲为民主和自由而奋斗的人民紧紧相连。

这是美国前总统克林顿就职演说中的一句话,他利用头韵(hope,heart,hand三个单词清辅音三次重复/h/)使得演说音韵悠扬,节奏明朗。

许多英语谚语利用押韵给人一种音韵美,不但增强了英语谚语的艺术魅力,也使它更易于诵读和记忆,可谓诵之金声玉振,闻之行云流水。比如:Live and learn.(活到老,学到老);No sweat, no sweet.(不劳动,不得食)。

注:这个押韵的修辞可以放置41课讲。

英语中的修辞手法品目繁多,诸如反复,通感,借代,委婉,矛盾修辞等等。据粗略统计,莎士比亚剧作中就有60多种,而上文只对常见的修辞格加以简要介绍。大家记住,文章中有效地运用修辞手法,能化平淡为新奇,化呆板为鲜活,化枯燥为生动,化冗杂为洗练,化晦涩为明快,化一般为艺术,唤起美感,娱人耳目,增强语言的表现力,说服力和感染力!

7.Astound 注意几个“惊奇“的细微差别:surprise amaze startle

8. 同位语

在一个名词的后面,可以跟另一个名词性的结构,进一步说明他是谁或它是什么,这种名词性结构叫同位语。同位语是中国学生的阅读杀手。

His only interest in life, playing football, has brought him many friends.

他生活中唯一感兴趣的东西踢足球是他得到很多朋友。

Paul Jones, the famous art critic, died in his sleep last night. 如果句子主语是一个人称代词,他的同位语通常要提到主语前面。 Formerly a worker himself, he was now an engineer. 他过去是工人,现在当了工程师了。

9 . share 作为名词:股份 份额

a lion’s share 可以顺便讲讲伊索寓言

40

Considering the strength of the opposition, we did very well to score two goals.

考虑到对对方的实力,我们进了两个球就很不错了。

Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say 'about their school experience2004.6/Band6/P2

15. dear一词的双关用法

双关 —— 双关即用一个词活一句话表达两层不同的意思,或插科打诨,或借题发挥,或旁敲侧击,或指桑骂槐,使语言妙趣横生 比如:

我们课文中的dear包含哪两层意思?1)宝贝的心爱的precious,2)costly expensive是这位女士用高昂的代价换来的。 双关是英语中非常常见,及其活跃的一种修辞。到处可见。以前最多用于什么? 大家记不记得我在介绍march 这个词时,用什么引入的?谜语。Why people are so tired in April? Because they have just gone through a long march. 一个march是不是一语双关。因此这种修辞手法在谜语中大量运用。

双关在生活中比比皆是:

We must all hang together, otherwise we shall all hang together.(我们大家必须紧紧地团结在一起,否则我们大家必然会一个一个地被绞死。) 这句名言出自美国政治家,作家富兰克林之口,句中两处用到hang这个词,妙在一语双关,前者意为“挂,捆,绑”,引申为“团结”;后者则表示“绞刑,上吊”,深刻而幽默地说明了不团结便灭亡的道理。

A deal with us means a good deal to you. 译文:和我们做买卖意味着您做了一笔好买卖。

该句的妙处在于很好地利用了句中deal的三种含义,“做买卖”、“一笔好买卖”和“许多”。a good deal构成一个绝妙的双关。

All is well that ends well. 21

这则广告实际是一条英语成语,意思是“结局好,全都好”。但广告制作者把它用于香烟广告中,ends就具有了双重意义:动词“结束”和名词“香烟蒂”。这句香烟广告词可以套用原来成语的翻译模式,译成“烟蒂好,烟就好”。

The driver is safer when the road is dry; The road is safer when the driver is dry. 26

这则宣传交通安全的广告运用了dry一词的两重词义(干燥的;没饮酒的)构成双关,对司机很有警示作用。翻译时,dry一词的两重意义在上、下句中只能各取一意:路面干燥,司机安全;司机清醒,道路安全。

谐音双关

41

More sun and air for your son and heir. 2

译文:这里有充足的阳光,清新的空气,一切为了您的子孙后代。

在这则海滨浴场的宣传广告中,制作者巧妙地运用了sun-son, air-heir这两对谐音字,使广告语言不仅和谐悦耳,读来朗朗上口,而且颇风趣、幽默,具有感召力。

5.gaoler n [英]监狱长,看守= jailer(美) 但后者常用

比较两种语言:

British English 和American English已被英国人承认是存在的,而且英国人也在学习使用比较简单化的American English。其实,不单是语法结构方面如此,甚至单词的使用也有这样的倾向。这是说,在\英式英语\和\美式英语\中,假若是用不同的词汇表达同一个意思的,那么,使用\美式英语\的人远较使用\英式英语\者多。根据一些英美人士所作的调查,在日常应用的词汇中,\英式英语\和\美式英语\各有表达用语的大约有一千个,其中通用的占了大部分。但所谓\通用\,其实是指英国人采纳了美国人的用词而已。在英、美两国本土以外的地区,使用英文的人习惯了\美式英语\而少用\英式英语\者亦占了大多数。以下举一些例子说明上述情况的表现。

apartment,flat--指大厦中的住宅单位,前者也被译为\(住宅)公寓\。不过,东南亚地区目前流行用\座\来表达,故使用flat的机会较多。

ash一can,dust一bin--指垃圾箱。在美式英语中,含有同等词义的还有garbage can和junk一heap,但英式英语则只有dust一bin(或dust-bin).香港目前多用dustbin。但废纸篓的两种称呼分别是waste一basket和waste一paper basket,流行度则似乎相等。

bank一bill,bank一note?纸币,钞票。Bank-bill是美国人的钞票,但是英国人却用来指\银行与银行之间的汇票\,以bank一note较为流行。

long—distance call, trunk call一一—长途电话。美式英语的 Iong—distance call词义一看便明,远胜于英式英语的trunk call,自然被多数采用。

canned goods, tinned goods 罐头食物。can和tin是美式英语和英式英语中的同义词,均指保藏预制食物的罐头,tin有时更被音译为:\听\。这两个字同时亦可以作动词使用,解作\把食物装罐\。在使用上,canned goods比tinned goods流行。

综观上述列举的小量例子,可以看出,美式英语(虽然仅列举了单词)在许多地区已逐渐占了上风。

6.Reveal

A revealing night dress一件暴露的晚礼服 A revealing slip of tongue

45

13. ever 重点!往往放在最高级或序数词后面,翻译成有史以来,史无前例等

This is the first international meeting that has ever been held in an Asian country

这是有史以来第一次在亚洲国家举行的国际性会议

14. narrowly missing ---现在分词短语做状语,表示结果,一般位于句末,其逻辑主语为前面的整个句子,有时为了加强语气,可以在前面加上副词so, thus, thereby, hence等。

Her husband died in 1942, leaving her with five children. 她丈夫1942年死了,给他丢下四个孩子。

The snow lasted a week, resulting in a serious traffic problem in the area.

雪下了一个星期,给这一地区造成了严重的交通问题。

要特别注意as在定语从句中做主语的情况(考研的重点):

He is absent, as is often the case.他与经常一样,没有来。

He is a teacher, as is clear from his manner. 这一点从他的举止中可以看出来。

As was expected, he performed the task with success.不出所料,他成功地完成了任务

11.Be greeted by 是一个中性词组 后面可以加褒义东西也可以加贬义东西

它的意思有 “看到 听到 闻到 受到。。。。。。。。“ I was greeted by a sweet smell. 甜味扑鼻而来

甚至代替第8课的receive构成 be greeted by a warm welcome

第十二课 Life on a desert island

1. paradise n天堂,乐土Hangzhou is dubbed as the paradise on earth. Forests are a paradise of wildlife.

heaven, sky, paradise 这些名词均有“天”或“天堂”之意。

heaven:作“天空”解时,常用复数,文学用词;作“天堂”解时,多用大写形式,采用单数。

sky:普通用词,指人们头顶上的天空,一般属于笼罩地球的空气层。较少用于指天国或天堂。

paradise与heaven同义,宗教色彩浓厚,指好人死后灵魂长存之处,口语中表示乐园或乐事,在宗教典故中,指天主教与基督教中的伊甸乐园。

6.理解put的意思:explain express 比如: how to put it in Chinese? Let me put it in another way.

7. wish / wished后面的宾语从句

wish / wished具有强烈的感情色彩,表示难以实现的愿望或者与事实相违背的情况。

1)对当时的情况表示愿望:宾语从句用一般过去时 I wish I knew his address. (But I don’t know.)

2)对将来表示希望或祝愿:宾语从句用would / could +动词原形 I wish you would shut up.

24

3)对过去的事情表示遗憾后悔:宾语从句用过去完成时或者would / could +现在完成时

I wish I had been there.

I wish I could have gone with you to the concert last night.

Special difficulties

表愿望wish或if only其中wish常指尚有可能发生的事,而if only则强调所希望的状况并不存在。在wish和if only后要用过去时表现在,用过去完成时表过去。

(1). They wished they had stayed there longer.后跟过去完成时 (2). I wish you would do as you are told.“将要”过去将来时 (3). I wish she could see me now. (4). I wish I had more time to spare.

(5). I wish I hadn’t said anything about it.“说过”本是过去时虚拟成过去完成时,say后几乎全是过去完成时

(10). If only I would become a scientist.如果?该多好啊 后跟would很少跟could

8. starve

hunger, famine, starvation 这些名词均有“饥饿”之意。 hunger:普通用词,指人体对于食物迫切需要的正常生理现象。

famine:指因天灾人祸而引起大规模饥荒;用作引申,指严重缺乏某种物资或人力。

starvation语气比hunger强得多。指因长期缺乏食物所造成的痛苦,甚至死亡,侧重人为的灾难所致。

9 . there was a knock on the door

10. Not wanting to?..

现在分词短语做状语,表示原因。

Being unable to afford a car, he bought a bicycle.由于买不起汽车,他买了一辆自行车。
