柯夏克家的屋顶一被掀走,约翰就高喊道:“快上楼一一到卧室里去!数数孩子。
"在倾盆大雨中,大人们围成一圈,让孩子们紧紧地挤在中间。
柯夏克老奶奶哀声切切地说道:“孩子们,咱们大家来唱支歌吧!”孩子们都吓呆了,根本没一点反应.老奶奶独个儿唱了几句,然后她的声音就完全消失了。
客厅的壁炉和烟囱崩塌了下来。
弄得瓦砾横飞.眼看他们栖身的那间卧室电有两面墙壁行将崩塌,
约翰立即命令大伙:“进电视室去!”这是离开风头最远的一个房间.
约翰用手将妻子搂了一下。
詹妮丝心里明白了他的意思。
由于风雨和恐惧,她不住地发抖。
她一面拉过两个孩子紧贴在自己身边,一面默祷着:亲爱的上帝啊,赐给我力量,让我经受住必须经受的一切吧。
她心里怨恨这场飓风。
我们一定不会让它得胜.
柯夏克老爹心中窝着一团火,深为自己在飓风面前无能为力而感到懊丧。
也说不清为什么,他跑到一问卧室里去将一只杉木箱和一个双人床垫拖进了电视室。
就在这里,一面墙壁被风刮倒了,提灯也被吹灭。
另外又有一面墙壁在移动,在摇晃。
查理.希尔试图以身子撑住它,但结果墙还是朝他这边塌了下来,把他的背部也给砸伤了。
房子在颤动摇晃,已从地基上挪开了25英尺。
整个世界似乎都要分崩离析了.
“我们来把床垫竖起来!"约翰对父亲大声叫道。
“把它斜靠着挡挡风。
让孩子们躲到垫子下面去,我们可以用头和肩膀把垫子."
大一点的孩子趴在地板上,小一点的一层层地压在大的身上,大人们都弯下身子罩住他们.地板倾斜了。
装着那一窝四只小猫的盒子从架上滑下来,一下子就在风中消失了。
斯普琪被从一个嵌板书柜顶上刮走而不见踪影了.那只狗紧闭着双眼,缩成一团。
又一面墙壁倒塌了。
水拍打着倾斜的地板。
约翰抓
住一扇还连在壁柜墙上的门,对他父亲大声叫道:“假若地板塌了,咱们就把孩子放到这块门板上面。
”
就在这一刹那间,风势稍缓了一些,水也不再上涨了.随后水开始退落。
卡米尔号飓风的中心过去了.柯夏克一家和他们的朋友都幸存下来了。

Ⅶ.
1.destroy一词最为常见,主要强调破坏的力度之大和彻底,一般不带感情或修辞色彩。
demolish和raze通常用于巨大物体,如大型建筑物等。
demolish常用引申义,指任何复合体的被毁,如demolish a theory with a few incisive comments。
意即“用几句锋利的评语推翻某种理论”。
而raze几乎无一例外地用于指建筑物的被毁。
annihilate 在这些词中所表示的损坏程度最为强烈,字面意思是“化为乌有”,但实际上往往用于指对人或物的严重损伤。
如说annihilate an enemy force,是指使敌军遭到重创,不仅没有还手之力.而且没有招架之功。
如说annihilate one's opponent in a debate,是指彻底驳倒对手。
2。

)该词还可用来替代rot,使语气略显委婉。
ⅩⅢ.
在给出答案之前,首先将该题中的几个语法术语解释一下。
The sentence fragment:片断句.一个合乎语法的完整句子必须具有主语和谓语这两种基本成分。
从结构上来说,它应该是可以独立运用的语言单位。
片断句是指像短语、从句、同位语以及其他诸如此类不能够独立使用的语言单位。
写作时若错误地使用标点符号.将这类不能独立使用的语法结构当成句子分列出来,那便叫做片断句,练习中的第1、第3和第4句就是这样的非完整句,即片断句。
The run—on sentence:误用逗号连接句。
该断句的地方没有正确地使用标点符号断句,而将两个或两个以上结构上各自独立完整而又互不从属的句子融合在一起成为一个不合语法、结构松散的句子称融合句.如果两个完整的句子中间只用逗号隔开而被错误地并成一个句子,这种句子便叫误用逗号连接句,练习中的第2句即是。
The dangling modifier:
垂悬修饰语。
由非谓语动词(分词、动名词、不定式)组成的短语若使用不当,与其所修饰的成分没有实质上的联系,这种结构便叫垂悬修饰语。
垂悬修饰语并非语法上的错误,只是修辞上的毛病,但仍应避免使用这样的结构,尤其是不要使用那些会产生歧义、引起误解的垂悬修饰语.练习中的第5、6、7、8句均含垂悬修饰语。
The illogical or faulty parallelism:误用平行句法。
误用平行句法指用平行结构来表达并非平行的思想内容。
这是应该避免的修辞上的毛病.不能将which或who引导的从句用and 与主句相联。
关联连词(both…and,either…or等)只能用于联接句中起同一语法作用的平行成分。
练习中的第9、10、11、12句都是误用平行结构的例句。
The shift in point of view:角度转换。
不必要的甚至错误的角度转换是应该避免的.若非必须如此。
一般不由主动语态转换成被动语态。
人称及单复数也不应随便转换。
练习中的第13、14、15句都是角度转换的例子。
练习中的错句可改正如下:
1.The basketball game was canceled because half of the players were in bed with flu.
2.These snakes are dangerous。
However,most snakes are quite harmless.3.Looking out toward the horizon,she Saw only the old cabin in which Mary was born,a single cottonwood that had escaped the drought and the apparently boundless expanse of sunburned prairie.
4.We knew that although the documents have been stolen they have not yet been seen by a foreign agent.
5.Last year,after I had graduated from high school.my father put me to work in his office.
6.To appreciate the poem,one must read it aloud.
7.1 missed that film because l had to stay home to help my mother wash clothes last Sunday.
8.Driving across the state,one saw many beautiful lakes.
9.Unselfish people are not only happier but also more successful.
1O.I finally realized that my daydreaming was not making me beautiful and slender or bringing me friends.
11.He is a man of wide experience and also of great popularity among the farmers.12.I am interested in electronics,which is a new field and which offers interesting opportunities 10 one who knows science.
13.We carefully swept the room and dusted the furniture and the shelves。
14.If one’s mouth is dry,one should eat a lump of sugar or chew gum.15.You must make yourself interesting to the group that listens23 to you and is constantly trying to detect your mistakes
Lesson Two Marrakech
IV.

All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings)。

8. If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings。

10.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil.

Ⅴ。
然而这些人的真正奇特之处还在于他们的隐身的特性.一连几个星期,每天几乎在同一时候总有一队老妪扛着柴草从我房前蹒跚走过。
虽然他们的身影以映入我的眼帘,但老实说,我并不曾看见她们。
我所看见的是一捆捆的柴草从屋外掠过。
直到有一天我碰巧走在她们身后时,堆柴草奇异的起伏动作才使我注意到原来下面有人。
这才第一次看见那些与泥土同色的可怜老妪的躯体-—枯瘦的只剩下皮包骨头、被沉重的负荷压得弯腰驼背的躯体.然而,我踏上摩洛哥国土还不到五分钟就已注意到驴子的负荷过重,并为此感到愤怒。
驴子遭到荷虐,这是无疑的事实。
摩洛哥的驴子不过如一只瑞士雪山救人犬一般大小,可它驮负的货物重量在英国军队里让一头五英尺高的大骡子来驮都嫌过重。
而且,它还常常是一连几个星期不卸驮鞍。
尤其让人觉得可悲的是,它是世上最驯服听话的牲畜。
不需要鞍辔会僵绳。
它便会像狗一样更随着自己的主人。
为主人拼命干上十几年活后,它便猝然倒地死去,这时,主人就把它仍进沟里,尸体未寒,其五脏六腑便被村狗扒出来吃掉.
这种事情当然令人发指,可是,一般说来,人的苦难却没人理会。
我并非在乱发议论,只不过是指出一个事实而已。
这种人简直就是一种无影无行之物。
一头背上被磨得皮破肉烂的驴子人人见了都会同情,而那驮着大捆柴草的老妇人则往往要有某种偶然因素才会受到注意。
Ⅵ。
1.chant:words repeated in a monotonous tone of voice
2.navvy:abbreviation of “navigator”,a British word meaning an unskilled laborer,as on canals,,roads,etc.

Lesson Three Pub Talk and the King’s English
Ⅳ.
1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings.(Animals and birds are not capable of conversation.)
2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.
.3. In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.
4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other's lives.5. The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6. These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7. The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the、rulers.8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.
9. The phrase,the King’s English,has always been used disrespectfully and
jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.
10. There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.
11. There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.For example,the w ord “dog" is a symbol representing a kind of animal.We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.
12. Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard,formal English all the time in their conversation.
V.
有人举出了一个人所共知,但仍值得提出来发人深思的例子。
我们谈到饭桌上的肉食时用法语词,而谈到提供这些肉食的牲畜时则用盎格鲁一撒克逊词.猪圈里的活猪叫pig,饭桌上吃的猪肉便成了pork(来自法语pore);地里放牧着的牛叫cattle,席上吃的牛肉则叫beef(来自法语boeuf);Chicken用作肉食时变成poultry(来自法语poulet);calf加工成肉则变成veal(来自法语vcau)。
即便我们的菜单没有为了装洋耍派头而写成法语,我们所用的英语仍然是诺曼底式的英语。
这一切向我们昭示了诺曼底人征服之后英国文化上所存在的深刻的阶级裂痕。
撒克逊农民种地养畜,自己出产的肉自己却吃不起,全都送上了诺曼底人的餐桌.农民们只能吃到在地里乱窜的兔子.兔子肉因为便宜,诺曼底贵族自然不屑去吃它。
因此,活兔子和吃的兔子肉共用rabbit 这个词表示,而没有换成由法语lapin转化而来的某个词。
Ⅵ·
1. on the rocks: metaphor,comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks
2. get out of bed on the wrong side:be in a bad temper for the day (The meaning is perhaps derived from the expression “You got out of bed the wrong way". It was an ancient superstition that it was unlucky to set the left foot on the ground first on getting out of bed.)
3.on wings:metaphor,comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring. It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting.
4.turn up one’s nose at:scorn;show scorn for
5. into the shoes: metaphor(or more appropriately an idiomatic expression),think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant,i. e. as if one were a Saxon peasant
6 come into one's own: receive what properly belongs to one,especially acclaim or recognition

before the terrible forces of destruction, which science can now release,overwhelm mankind; before this self-destruction, which may be planned or brought about by an accident, takes place
8。
Yet both groups of nations are trying to change as quickly as possible this uncertain balance of terrible military power which restrains each group from launching mankind's final war。
9. So let us start once again (to discuss and negotiate)and let us remember that being polite is not a sign of weakness. 10. Let both sides try to call forth the wonderful things that science can do for mankind instead of the frightful things it can do.

如今那号角又在召唤我们了.它不是在号召我们扛起武器一一尽管我们也需要武器,不是在号召我
们去参战--尽管我们也准备应战,而是在号召我们肩负起一场长期的艰苦斗争的重任,年复一年,“忍
受困苦,向往未来”,为反对人类共同的敌人——暴政、贫困、疾病以及战争本身——而斗争。
我们能否建立一个把东西南北联在一起的伟大的全球联盟来对付这些敌人,以确保人类享有更为富
有成效的生活呢?你是否愿意参加这一具有历史意义的行动呢?
在世界漫长的历史上,只有少数几代人能在自由面临极大危险的时刻被赋予保卫自由的任务.在这一重任面前,我不退缩,我欢迎这一重任。
我认为我们中间不会有人愿意与别人或另一代人调换位置.
我们从事这一事业的那种精力、信念和献身精神将照耀我们的国家和一切为此出力的人们。
这一火焰所
发出的光芒将真正照亮这个世界。
因此,美国同胞们,你们应该问的不是你们的国家能为你们做些什么,而是你们自己能为你们的国家做些什么。
和我处在同样地位的世界各国的公民们,你们应该问的不是美国会为你们做些什么,而是我们一起
能为人类自由做些什么.

11.People used to firmly believe that the things they saw around them were real solid substances but this has now been thrown into doubt by science, 12.That,perhaps, shows how far logically modern aesthetic can go./The solid banks can become almost abstract and invisible./This is perhaps the furthest limit of how solid objective things may be disappearing.

现代美学的玩耍性说到底是其最突出的,也是最严肃的,而必然地也是最令人不安的特征。
这种玩耍性是模仿产生了博奕论、虚构粒子和黑洞的科学的荒诞性。
这种科学的玩耍性还
通过把人的生长基因植入牛体,迫使伦理学的研究者重新审定食人肉的习性的定义。
玩耍在现代美学中的重要性不应引起惊讶。
它在发达世界的每座城市里都通过后现代主义和新现代主义的奇形怪状和荒诞的建筑物,通过把各种建筑风格奇特地拼凑在一起得到反映,而这恰恰是拼贴画式的城市和无计划的大杂烩城市的典型表现。
今天,现代文化包括了国际风格的几何图形、传统门面与新型建筑相结合的奇特图案以及主题公园和博
物馆村庄的游戏绝招。
这种文化有时装成是静态的,但实际上却是生机勃勃的.体现这种文化的建筑移动、摇摆,就像做梦一样,反映了周围发生的一切。
这种文化向其公民展示了体现几何图形的直线结构,如管道、州际公路和高压电线,也展示了富有艺术性的流线型克莱斯勒公司的气流汽车、波音747飞机以及硅片集成电路上的精细网织图案。
现代文化也向其公民展示了无情地引人注目的庞然大物-—油轮和推土机以及结构玩具的复杂设计、短线拱顶和登月车辆。
它充满了想象、声音和价值,完全不同于我们肉眼所看到的我们周围世界的自然景物。

The piers are built, Then the towers are erected on the piers. The cables are run from one side of the river to the other and are anchored, The suspenders are attached to the cables。
Finally the deck is raised。
2. The slide is removed from the microscope and is replaced by a transparent ruler with 1 mm graduations. Now the width of the field of view of the microscope is measured。
The diameter of the field is converted from millimeters to microns,then the width of the field (in microns) is measured for each objective lens required.
