小編絮語:
每日床頭啃一段語篇,您的生活質量更加高。
啃嚼語段:
He was treated badly by most of the people around him.
他身邊的人大都待他極不好。
Noah was jealous because Oliver went out to burials while he was left back in the shop, so he treated him even worse than before.
諾厄十分妒忌奧利弗,因為他能出去參加葬禮,而自己卻被留在店鋪里。
Charlotte treated him badly because Noah did.
所以比以前更加殘酷地對待他。
And Mrs Sowerberry was his enemy because Mr Sowerberry was supposed to be his friend.
夏洛特對他不好,是因為諾厄對他壞。索爾貝里太太跟他是對頭,是因為她認為索爾貝里先生是他的朋友。
One day something happened which might seem unimportant, but which had a great effect on Oliver"s future.
一天,發生了一件本來看起來好像不很重要的事,可這事對奧利弗的未來卻產生了很大的影響。
Noah was in a particularly bad mood one dinner-time, and so he tried to make Oliver cry by hitting him, pulling his hair, and calling him horrible names.
晚餐時,諾厄的心情特別不好,他成心想弄哭奧利弗,就打他,揪他的頭發,用各種壞話罵他,但這都無濟于事。
This was all unsuccessful, so he tried personal insults.
他便對他進行人格侮辱。
語段精講:
第一、詞匯學習
1 jealous adj. 妒忌的,嫉妒的
Eg. Don't let her make mischief between you she's only jealous.
別讓她在你們之間挑撥--她就是太忌妒了。
2 suppose vi. 認為
Eg. What makes you suppose (that) I'm against it?
你根據什么認為我反對這件事?
3 dinner-time n.晚飯時間
Eg. He wholly forgot that he was hungry, that it was only dinner-time.
他完全忘記了自己還餓著肚子,忘記了這時還是吃晚飯的時候。
第二、地道短語
1. have an effect on
講解:此語的意思是“對......有著影響力”。文中在effect前面加了修飾詞great,意思就是“對.......有著很大的影響力”。Effect在這里指做可數名詞用。
范例:The climate and temperature have an effect on your intelligence.
氣候和氣溫會對你的智力產生影響。
It has been found that smoking does have an effect on the health of the smoker.
已發現吸煙對吸煙者的健康有影響。
聯想記憶:have an influence on
Eg. Your boss have an influence on you because he always gets uptight.
你的老板應該對你影響很大,因為他經常讓你弄得很緊張。
2. in a bad mood
講解:此語表示心情不好。文中說到的是in a particularly bad mood,是指“心情特別不好”,“情緒極其不好”。
范例:He could tell she was in a bad mood, and tried to laugh her out of it.
他看出她心情不好, 想逗她笑好讓她不再想煩惱的事.
Watch your step today as your boss is in a particularly bad mood.
今天你小心點,老板情緒不好。
3. leave somebody or something back
講解:此語相當于leave somebody or something behind,意思是“fail to bring or take somebody or something”,意思是“不帶某人或某物”。
范例:Wait for a minute , don't leave me back!
等等,別把我丟下!
It won't rain: you can leave your umbrella behind.
不會下雨, 你不必帶傘了。
第三、短語學習
1. go out to burials
講解:go out to something意思是“出門做某事”。Go out to burials意思是“出門參加葬禮”。再如:go out to wedding(出門參加婚禮),go out to party(出門參加晚會)。
2. call sb horrible names
講解:這個短語的結構是call+somebody+something,意思是“稱呼某人為......”。
第四、寫作語匯
1. around sb.:在某人周圍
2. pull one’s hair:揪頭發
第五、語法點撥
1. ... so he treated him even worse than before.
要點解析:劃線部分是副詞even修飾副詞的bad的比較級worse。
2. One day something happened,which might seem unimportant, but which had a great effect on Oliver"s future.
要點解析:這個句子含有由并列連詞連接的2個非限定性定語從句——which might seem unimportant和which had a great effect on Oliver"s future。因此次是which,指代前面說到的情況(something happened.)
3. ... and so he tried to make Oliver cry by hitting him, pulling his hair, and calling him horrible names.
要點解析:換線部分均為由by引導的介詞短語做方式狀語。介詞by的后面接的是動詞,因此要使用動名詞形式——hitting,pulling,calling。
