Lesson73
【課文】
Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school.
【課文翻譯】
逃學的孩子們都缺乏想像力。他們通常能夠做到的，至多也就是安靜地釣上一天魚，或在電*里坐上8個小時，一遍遍地看同一部電影。而有那么一個小男孩，他在逃學期間旅行了1,600英里，從而使上述所有逃學的孩子們都相形見絀了。他搭便車到了多佛，天快黑時鉆進了一條船，想找個地方睡覺。第二天早上他醒來時，發(fā)現(xiàn)船在這段時間已經(jīng)到了加。當男孩從船里爬出來時，誰也沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)他。從那里他又搭上卡車到了巴黎。司機給了他幾塊餅干和一杯咖啡，就把他丟在了城外。男孩截住的下一輛車，沒有像他希望的那樣把他帶到巴黎市中心，而是把他帶到了法國和西班牙邊界上的佩皮尼昂。他在那兒被一個警察抓住了，之后被*送回了英國。他無疑為成千上萬夢想逃避上學的孩子們創(chuàng)造了一項紀錄。

Three hours in the room，It is tiring.

Lesson74
【課文】
An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.
'This is a wonderful place for a picnic,' said Gloria Gleam.
'It couldn't be better, Gloria,' Brinksley Meers agreed. 'No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?'
Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry. 'Now you get out of here, all of you!' he shouted. 'I'msheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says "No Camping" -- in case you can't read!'
'Look, sheriff,' said Rockwall, 'don't be too hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.'
'Oh, is it?' said the sheriff with a sneer. 'Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast!'
【課文翻譯】
一輛古舊的汽車停在一條干涸的河床邊，一群男女演員下了車。他們戴著墨鏡，穿著舊衣裳，特別小心以防別人認出他們。但他們很快就發(fā)覺，化裝的效果有時過分完美了。
“在這個地方野餐簡直太妙了，”格格利亞.格利姆說。
“是再好不過的了，格格利亞?！辈剂挚怂估?米爾斯表示同意，“沒有記者，沒有影迷!我們?yōu)槭裁床唤?jīng)常來這里呢?”
“此時，另外兩位演員，羅克沃爾.斯林格和默林.格里夫斯，已經(jīng)把兩個大食品籃子提到了一片樹蔭下。當他們都已安排舒適時，一個陌生人出現(xiàn)了。他看上去非常氣憤?！澳銈兌紡倪@里走開，全都走開!”他大叫著，“我是這里的司法長官。你們看到那個布告牌了嗎?上面寫著‘禁止野營’--除非你們不識字!”
“好了，好了，司法官，”羅克沃爾說，“別使我們難堪。我是羅克沃爾.斯林格，這位是默林.格里夫斯。”
“噢，是嗎?”那位司法長官冷笑一聲說道，“好，我就是布林克斯利.米爾斯。我還有一個名字叫格格利亞.格利姆?，F(xiàn)在你們趕快滾吧!”
【生詞匯總】
limelight n. 舞臺燈光
precaution n. 預(yù)防措施
fan n. 狂熱者，迷
shady adj. 遮蔭的
sheriff n. 司法長官
notice n. 告示
sneer n. 冷笑
【知識點講解】
1. An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off.
這個句子里stop表示?？俊⑼Ａ舻囊馑?，如：Are you stopping for supper? 你要留在這兒吃晚飯嗎?
a party of 一群，一組，后面接可數(shù)名詞
get off 下車，離開，也可表示(使某人入睡);下班;不再討論某事(+sth.)get sth. off 郵寄某物
2. they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them.
① 這里的so that表目的，引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句，可與in order that 互換，從句常用may/might、can/could、should、would等詞，主句和從句之間連接緊密，沒有逗號。在這個句子里用的是should，表示目的或動機。
② so that 還可以引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句，表示“因此、所以”，此時不能與in order that 互換，而從句中的謂語則使用相應(yīng)的時態(tài)，主從句之間也可以用逗號隔開。例如：
She didn't feel well, so that she cancelled the trip.
因為身體不太舒服，她取消了旅行。
3. disguises can sometimes be too perfect.
大家可能覺得這個句子順序有點兒怪怪的，似乎can和sometimes應(yīng)該換換位置。其實因為sometimes是時間副詞，在英語中，時間副詞的位置比較隨意，句首、句中、句尾都可以，具體根據(jù)句子意思而定。例如：
I watched a movie yesterday. / Yesterday I watched a movie.
昨天我看了場電影。
4. they had all made themselves comfortable.
① make oneself/one+adj. 這里的形容詞充當賓語補足語 表示“使得某人……”
You should make yourself happy.
你應(yīng)該使自己快樂。
② 還有一種形式是make sb. /sth. done，歸納起來就是make+賓語sb. /sth. +賓語補足語。用過去分詞作賓語補足語，說明這里賓語和賓補動詞do之間是一種被動關(guān)系。例如：
Parents' words always make me surrounded with warm.
爸媽的話總讓我感覺很溫暖。
Lesson75
【課文】
First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。
How did the woman get help?
When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters 'SOS' in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.
【課文翻譯】
不久前，一架輕型客機偏離了航線，在山區(qū)墜毀，飛行員喪生。機上僅有的乘客，一位年輕的婦女和她的兩個女嬰?yún)s平安無事。此時正值隆冬季節(jié)，地上積著厚厚的雪。這位婦女知道，即使近的村莊也有數(shù)英里遠。天黑下來的時候，她把提箱當作小床，把兩個孩子放了進去，又把所有能找到的衣服都蓋在了孩子們身上。夜里，天冷得厲害。這位婦女盡可能地靠近孩子，甚至自己也想鉆進箱子里去，只是箱子太小了。第二天一大早，她聽到頭頂上有飛機飛過，但不知道怎樣才能發(fā)個信號。后來她有了一個主意。她在雪地上踩出了“SOS”這3個字母。幸運得很，一位飛行員看到這個信號，用無線電給近的城鎮(zhèn)發(fā)了報。不久，一架直升飛機飛抵飛機失事現(xiàn)場，來搭救這幾個幸存者。
【生詞匯總】

1. When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed.
不久前，一架輕型客機偏離了航線，在山區(qū)墜毀，飛行員喪生。
course這個詞除了表示課程、講座等，還有其他很多意思，在這個句子里，course表示(船只或飛行器的)航向、航線。而fly off則表示偏離、飛出，所以句子意思就是客機偏離航線。
course的其他意思有：
①行動途徑;做法
I don't think the course of government is useful to curb the prices of commodities.
我認為政府的做法對抑制物價根本沒用。
②(治病、服藥等的)療程 a course of sth.

這一類系動詞+形容詞的形式中，形容詞作表語。

②而go+形容詞 多表示從好的狀態(tài)變成壞的狀態(tài)，如：go blind 變瞎 go bankrupt 破產(chǎn)
③turn有“成為與以前完全不同的東西”的含義，指狀態(tài)和形式的改變，強調(diào)變化的結(jié)果。如：
Leaves turn yellow in autumn.
樹葉到秋天就變黃了。
在課文句子里還有turn into這個短語，即由一種情況變?yōu)榱硪环N情況。如：
Water turns into ice when it freezes.
水冷凝后就變成冰了。
④become 普通用詞，表示從一個狀態(tài)變成另一個狀態(tài)，其前面的主語即可以是人，也可以是物。

另外，用現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞作賓語補足語兩者的意思是不同的。過去分詞作補語表示“被動”和“完成”的意義;而現(xiàn)在分詞作補語表示“主動”和“進行”的意義。如：
I notice Tom walking alone to the park.
我注意到湯姆正獨自向公園走去。

我剛看到湯姆一個人去了公園。
②wonder作動詞表示疑惑、驚訝，后面可接at、about等介詞，如wonder at sth. 對……感到驚訝 wonder about sth. 對某事感到好奇，自忖……
另外，還有wonder +how /what /when等句。

stamp作動詞還可表示在紙張等表面蓋上公章、圖案等，或是貼郵票。如stamp A on B=stamp B with A 在B上用A 蓋章
