篇1:新概念英语第二册第40课:Food and talk

Lesson 40   food and talk进餐与交谈

First listen and then answer the question.

听录音,然后回答以下问题。

Was Mrs. Rumbold a good companion at dinner?

Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.

'A new play is coming to “The Globe” soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?'

'No,' she answered.

'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?' I asked.

'No,' she answered.

'Will you be staying in England?' I asked.

'No,' she answered.

In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

'Young man,' she answered, 'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!“

参考译文

在上星期的一次宴会上,女主人安排我坐在兰伯尔德夫人的身旁。兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材高大、表情严肃的女人,穿一件紧身的黑衣服。当我在她身旁坐下来的时候,她甚至连头都没有抬一下。她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子,不一会儿就忙着吃起来了。我试图找个话题和她聊聊。

“一出新剧要来‘环球剧场’上演了,”我说,“您去看吗?”

“不,”她回答。

“您今年去国外度假吗?”我又问。

“不,”她回答。

“您就呆在英国吗?”我问。

“不,”她回答。

失望之中我问她饭是否吃得满意。

“年轻人,”她回答说,“如果你多吃点,少说点,我们两个都会吃得好的!”

课文详注  Further notes on the text

1.next to, 挨着。

它既可以表示座位挨着也可以表示地理位置上挨着:

Who was the man sitting next to you during the meeting?

开会时坐在你旁边的那人是谁?

There's a field/shop next to our house.

我们家房子边上有一片田野/一个商店。

2.Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress.兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材高大、表情严肃的女人,穿一件紧身的黑衣服。

(1)unsmiling的反义词为smiling(微笑的,喜气洋洋的)。有些形容词前面可以加上前缀un-来表示相反的意 义:comfortable (舒服的)/uncomfortable(不舒服的),true(真实的)/untrue(不真实的), interesting(有趣的)/uninteresting(无趣味的,乏味的)。

(2)in在这里表示“穿着”、“戴着”:

A young man in a blue dress is inquiring for you.

有位穿蓝衣服的小伙子在找您。

3.take one's seat, 在指定的位置上就座。

take a seat表示“坐下”,比sit要正式:

Please take a seat.

请坐。

take one's seat则表示位置事先已安排好:

After everyone had taken his seat, the meeting/dinner party began.

大家各自就座后,会议/宴会便开始了。

4.Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. 她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子,不一会儿就忙着吃起来了。

(1)fix最常用的意思为“使……固定”、“安装”:

she fixed a handle on the door.

她在门上安了个把手。

fix on的含义之一为“使(目光、注意力等)集中于”、“盯着”:

He fixed his eyes on the book, but he couldn't understand a word.

他的眼睛盯着那本书,但他一个字儿也没看懂。

(2)busy+ doing sth.表示“忙着做某事”, doing前可以加 in,也可以不加:

They are busy (in) repairing the car.

他们正忙着修车。

We're all busy getting ready for the performance.

我们都在忙着为演出进行准备。

5.If you ate more and talked less…如果你多吃点,少说点……

在并列句中,相同的句子成分(如主语、谓语、状语等)通常由同一词性的单词/词组表示,并且它们的长度也差不多,以保持句子的平衡性。在课文中的这句话中ate与talked对应,more与less对应。再如:

You can either go out or stay here.

你出去也行,呆在这里也行。

He wants to buy a lot of things, but he has little money.

他想买的东西很多,但他的钱很少。

语法 Grammar in use

第2类条件句

在第16课的语法中,我们学习了第1类条件句,它谈论将有可能发生的事情,并且考虑其将来的真实结果。它的一般形式如下所示:

You'll miss the train if you don't hurry.

你如果不抓紧时间会误了火车的。(主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时或其他形式的现在时)

第2类条件句的形式与第一类不同,if从句中用一般过去时,谈论想像的情况,主句用would +动词原形,推测想像的结果:

If it rained tomorrow, we'd stay at home.

如果明天下雨,我们将呆在家里。

尽管第2类条件句使用过去时,却并非指过去的时间,所以,if之后的过去时用法常被称为“非真实的过去”。

第2类条件句有时可以代替第1类条件句来描述颇有可能发生的事情,但比第1类条件句较为“无把握”。试比较:

If you went by train,you would get there earlier.

如果你坐火车去。你或许会早些到那儿。

If you go by train,you will get there earlier.

如果你坐火车去,你就会到得早些。

不过第2类条件句经常用来描写完全不可能的事情:

If I had longer legs, I'd be able to run faster.

如果我的腿再长一点儿,我就能跑得更快了。

在最后一个例句中,the weather是单数,按语法规则,在正常的陈述句中它后面应为was而不是were。但在第2类条件句中,were比was更为正式,与真实情况的差别也更大:If he were/was ready, I would go.

如果他准备好了,我就去。

if I were you这种说法经常用于提出建议:

If I were you, I'd accept their offer.

如果我是你,我就接受他们的建议。

词汇学习Word study

1.make vt., vi.

及物动词make的原义为“制造”,但它经常用于一些固定的结构,最常见的为make +(冠词)+名词形式。因名词的不同其含义也稍有不同:

I tried to make conversation.

我试图找个话题。

If you like, I'll make the beds this morning.

如果你愿意,今天早上我来铺床。

Don't make so much noise when I'm reading.

我看书时你(们)别这么吵闹。

He made a promise that he would return the books in a week.

他保证一星期后将书还回来。

If you make trouble again, I'll send you home.

你如果再捣蛋,我就把你送回家。

He works very hard, but he's made little progrss.

他很刻苦,但他进步甚小。

He makes a lot of money and he also spends a lot.

他挣钱多,花钱也多。

Can you make a speech for our students?

您能为我们的学生演讲一次吗?

I'm sorry to tell you that you've made a big mistake.

我很遗憾地告诉你,你犯了个大错误。

在表示“下定决心”、“拿定王意”时要用词组make up one's mind:

Have you made up your mind to set off tomorrow morning?

你已下定决心要明天早上出发了吗?

2.do vt.

与make一样,完全动词do也可以用于一些固定说法,它的含义比make要更笼统一些:

I had done my best, but I still failed in the exam.

我已经尽力而为了,但我考试还是没及格。

After you've done your homework, you can watch TV.

你做完作业后可以看电视。

Would you please do me a favour?

请帮个忙好吗?

I did a few jobs about the house.

我干了点家务活。

I did a lot of work around the house.

我干了许多家务活。

Can you do any more work today?

你今天还能再干点活吗?

We are asked to do Exercises 2 and 3 of Lesson 10.

我们得做第10课的第2项和第3项练习。

That shop does very good business.

那家商店的生意很好。

do 还可以与动名词连用:

We did all our shopping yesterday.

我们昨天把东西都买了。

I do a lot of swimming.

我常常游泳。

I did some reading this afternoon.

今天下午我读了点书。

篇2:新概念英语第四册第40课:Waves

Lesson 40   Waves海浪

First listen and then answer the following question.

听录音,然后回答以下问题。

What false impression does an ocean were convey to the observer?

Waves are the children of the struggle between ocean and atmosphere, the ongoing signatures of infinity. Rays from the sun excite and energize the atmosphere of the earth, awakening it to flow, to movement, to rhythm, to life. The wind then speaks the message of the sun to the sea and the sea transmits it on through waves -- an ancient, exquisite, powerful message.

海浪是大海和空气相斗的产物,无限的一种不间断的标志。太阳光刺激了地球的大气层,并给予它能量;阳光使空气开始流动,产生节奏,获得生命。然后,风把太阳的住处带给了大海,海洋用波浪的形式传递这个信息 —— 一个源过流长、高雅而有力的信息。

These ocean waves are among the earth's most complicated natural phenomena. The basic features include a crest (the highest point of the wave), a trough (the lowest point), a height (the vertical distance from the trough to the crest), a wave length (the horizontal distance between two wave crests), and a period (which is the time it takes a wave crest to travel one wave length).Although an ocean wave gives the impression of a wall of water moving in your direction, in actuality waves move through the water leaving the water about where it was. If the water was moving with the wave, the ocean and everything on it would be racing in to the shore with obviously catastrophic results.

这些海浪属于地球上最复杂的自然现象。它们的基本特征包括浪峰(波浪的最高点)、波谷(最低点)、浪高(从波谷到浪峰的垂直距离)、波长(两个浪峰间的水平距离)和周期(海峰走过一个波长所需的时间)。虽然,海浪给人的印象是一堵由水组成的墙向你压过来,而实际上,浪从水中移过,而水则留在原处。如果水和 浪一起移动的话,那么大海和海里所有的东西就会向岸边疾涌过来,带来明显的灾难性后果。

An ocean wave passing through deep water causes a particle on the surface to move in a roughly circular orbit, drawing the particle first towards the advancing wave, then up into the wave, then forward with it and then -- as the wave leaves the particles behind -- back to its starting point again.

穿过深水的海浪使水面上的一个微粒按照一种近乎圆形的轨道移动,先把微粒拉向前移动的海浪,然后推上波浪,随着波浪移动,然后 -- 当波浪把微粒留在身后时 -- 又回到出发点。

From both maturity to death, a wave is subject to the same laws as any other 'living' thing. For a time it assumes a miraculous individuality that, in the end, is reabsorbed into the great ocean of life.

从成熟到消亡,波浪和其他任何“活动中”的东西一样,都受制于共同的法则。一度它获得非凡的个性,但最终又被重新融进生命的大洋。

The undulating waves of the open sea are generated by three natural causes: wind, earth movements or tremors, and the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Once waves have been generated, gravity is the force that drives them in a continual attempt to restore the ocean surface to a flat plain.

公海上起伏的波浪是由3个自然因素构成的:风、地球的运动或震颤和月亮、太阳的引力。一旦波浪形成,地球引力是持续不断企图使海面复原为平面的力量。

Lesson 70   Red for danger危险的红色

First listen and then answer the question.

听录音,然后回答以下问题。

How was the drunk removed from the ring?

During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

参考译文

在一次斗牛时,一个醉汉突然溜达到斗牛场中间,人们开始大叫起来,但醉汉却没有意识到危险。当时那公牛正忙于对付斗牛士,但突然它看见了醉汉,只见 他正大声说着粗鲁的话,手里挥动着一顶红帽子。对挑衅显然非常敏感的公牛完全撇开斗牛士,直奔醉汉而来。观众突然静了下来,可这醉汉像是很有把握似的。当 公牛逼近他时,他踉跄地住旁边一闪,牛扑空了。观众欢呼起来,醉汉向人们鞠躬致谢。然而,此时已有3个人进入斗牛场,迅速把醉汉拉到安全的地方。好像连牛 也在为他感到遗憾,因为它一直同情地看着醉汉,直到他的背影消逝,才重新将注意力转向斗牛士。

她看那本书时没有觉察到周围的噪音。

I was unaware that you were coming.

2.it suddenly caught sight of the drunk,突然它看见了醉汉。

sensitive表示“敏感的”、“神经过敏的”、“易生气的”或“介意的”等,通常与to+名词连用,也可作定语:

这个句子很长。for引导的句子与它前面的分句为并列句。for引导的分句中有两个时间状语,一是until引导的从句,二是before引导的动名词短语,其作用也相当于一个从句,由于主语也是it,用动名词形式更简洁些。

Mary people just looked on while the two men robbed a woman.

当那两个人抢劫一位妇女时,许多人只是旁观。

(2)out of the way为固定短语,可以表示“不挡道”、“不碍事”:

Lesson 64   The Channel Tunnel海峡隧道

First listen and then answer the question.

听录音,然后回答以下问题。

Why was the first tunnel not completed?

In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.

参考译文

1858年,一位名叫埃梅.托梅.德.干蒙的法国工程 师带着建造一条长21英里、穿越英吉利海陕的隧道计划到了英国。他说,可以在隧道中央建造一座平台,这座平台将用作码头和火车站。如果再建些伸出海面的高大的烟囱状通风管,隧道就具备了良好的通风条件。1860年,一位名叫威廉.洛的英国人提出了 一项更好的计划。他提议建一条双轨隧道,这样就解决了通风问题。因为如果有列火车开进隧道,它就把新鲜空气随之抽进了隧道。42年以后,隧道实际已经开始 建了。如果不是因为那时英国人害怕入侵,隧道早已建成了。世界不得不再等将近1才看到海峡隧道竣工。它于1994年3月7日正式开通,将英国与欧洲 大陆连到了一起。

这条公路连接着这个村子与伦敦。

The lake and the canal are connected by a river.

(2)第3类条件句的基本结构与前两类都不一样,if从句需用过去完成时,主句用 would have/should have+过去分词形式:

If it had rained, we would have stayed at home.

要是下雨,我们就会呆在家里了。

第3类条件句在if从句里设想纯粹想像的事情,在主句里讲述想像的结果。它与第2类条件句有一定的相似之处。但是,第3类条件句所谈的是没有或永远不可能有的结果,因为它们指的是过去没有过的事情。它们是所谓的“假设条件句”:

If I had worked harder at school, I'd have go a better job.

要是我上学时勤奋一些,我就会有较好的工作了。(事实是现在的工作不太好)

在 if从句中可用 could have+过去分词代替 had been able to +动词原形:

Why didn't you read the book yesterday?

你昨天为什么没有看这本书?

I'd have read it if I could have bought it!

如果咋夭我能买到这书我就会读的!

语法 Grammar in use

间接引语:祈使句的转述

(1)在第15课与第39课的语法中,我们分别学习了陈述句和疑问句变为间接引语的情况,它们基本上都是引述词(say, tell 等)+(间接宾语)+从句:

He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.

他告诉我,公司支付不起这么庞大的工资开支。(间接陈述句)

He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful.

他问吉尔伯特先生的手术是否成功。(间接疑问句)

(2)祈使句的情况有所不同。表示命令、请求、建议的祈使句通常可用适当的动词后跟不定式来转述。常用的这类动词有

advise, ask, tell, order, command, warn, invite等,这些动词后往往有间接宾语:

”Remeber to turn off all the lights"she said.

她说:“记着把所有的灯关掉。”

She reminded / told me to turn off all the light.

她提醒/告诉我把所有的灯关掉。

转述这类祈使句的否定形式时,必须将not放在带to的不定式之前:

I advise you not to buy her anything.

我建议你别给她买任何东西。

(3)动词suggest和insist用于转述建议、要求时,其结构为suggest/insist+that从句(用should):

Why don't they sell the flat?

他们为什么不把那套房子卖掉?

He suggests that they should sell the flat.I hope they won't sell the flat.

他建议他们把那套房子卖掉。我希望他们不把那套房子卖掉。(suggest后面的that可省略;不论suggest是现在时还是过去时,后面都用should)
