Lesson 1 Finding fossil man 发现化石人We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write.But there are some parts of the word where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas -- legends handed down from one generation of another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago.But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.参考译文我们从书籍中可读到5,000 年前近东发生的事情,那里的人最早学会了写字。

新概念英语第四册第5课-Youth

新概念英语第四册第5课:YouthLesson 5 Youth青年 First listen and then answer the following question: 听录音,然后回答以下问题。

How does the writer like to treat young people?People are always talking about 'the problem of youth'. If there is one -- which I take leave to doubt -- then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings -- people just like their elders. There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is where the rub is.人们总是在谈论“青年问题”。

如果这个问题存在的话 -- 请允许我对此持怀疑态度 -- 那么,这个问题是由老年人而不是青年人造成的。

让我们来认真研究一些基本事实:承认青年人和他们的长辈一样也是人。

老年人和青年人只有一个区别:青年人有光辉灿烂的前景,而老年人的辉煌已成为过去。

问题的症结恐怕就在这里。

When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain -- that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.我十几岁时,总感到自己年轻,有些事拿不准 -- 我是一所大学里的一名新生,如果我当时真的被看成像一个问题那样有趣,我会感到很得意的。

新概念英语第四册课文详解(L1-25)

Lesson 1 Finding fossil man第一课发现化石人by ROBIN PLACEfrom Finding fossil man1-1. We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write.【译文】我们能读到五千年前近东发生之事,那里的人最先学会了书写。

【单词和短语】read:此处为不及物动词,意为“读到,获悉”(to find out information from books,newspapers etc.),后接of或about,例如:He reads about the war. 他读到关于战争的消息。

Did you read of their accident in the newspapers?你在报上看到他们遭遇意外事故的消息了么?5,000 years:五千年。

另学习millennium,意为“一千年”,复数为millennia。

5,000 years即为5 millennia。

the Near East:近东,指地中部沿岸地区,包括亚洲西南部和非洲东北部,有时还包括巴尔干半岛。

1-2. But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write.【译文】但时至今日世上某些地方的人还不会书写。

【单词和短语】even now:此处意为“甚至到现在”,例如:Even now he won’t believe me. 他甚至到现在还不相信我。

even now另有两解,一为“就在此刻”,例如:Perhaps even now the time has arrived.也许正是此刻时机来到了。

另一为“尽管这样,虽然情况如此”(in spite of what has happened),例如:I have explained everything,but even now she doesn’t understand.我什么都解释了,但是尽管如此她还是不明白。

新概念第四册第五课

新概念第四册第五课

新概念第四册第五课在我们日常的生活中,有些事情看似简单,但真要做起来,往往事与愿违。

比如,去一个陌生的地方,原本想的是“咱走一趟,肯定没问题”,结果却被各种小细节给坑了,出发之前,没看清楚路线,结果绕了个大圈;到了目的地,才发现原来搞错了地方;甚至连手机没带,钱包忘在家里了。

那时候你就会突然觉得,怎么一件小事也能把自己搞得这么狼狈,真的是“事倍功半”啊!还记得我有一次,朋友约我去参加一个聚会,之前明明说好是八点到。

结果我从家里出来就心安理得地说:“没关系,反正没什么事,路程不远,一会儿就到。

”于是,我一路上悠哉游哉,心想着八点到了就好了。

谁成想,到了地方,居然都快九点了!大家已经开始吃饭了。

朋友们看到我,一脸惊讶,“你咋这么晚?”我一脸无辜地说:“唉,我自己都不懂怎么搞的,早就出发了,路上堵车,等着我哪有这么容易?”其实心里明白,根本就是拖延症犯了。

当时我都想说:“这世界上,最难的事情就是守时!”因为这不仅仅是一个关于时间的问题,还是一个关于责任感和态度的问题。

你一旦失去对时间的控制,感觉整个人的节奏都乱了,事情也变得越来越不靠谱。

以前我总觉得,时间是一种可以随便浪费的资源,反正,生活还得继续,搞不好一会儿再重新开始就是了。

但直到有一天,我参加了一个很重要的面试,才猛然意识到,守时是一件多么重要的事情!面试那天,我比平时起得还要早,想着自己这次肯定要准备得很充足。

可惜,还是差点迟到了!因为路上堵车。

说来也怪,明明是平时从不堵的路段,今天偏偏卡了几百辆车,我一个人在车里,干着急,又无能为力,差点把车里的座椅都坐出个坑来。

眼看着时间一点点过去,心里简直是五味杂陈。

到达公司时,已经快晚了五分钟,虽然最终面试成功,但那一刻,我就觉得,什么叫“有备无患”,什么叫“人算不如天算”。

后来我开始意识到,守时不仅仅是关于不让别人等你那么简单,而是对自己的一种尊重。

你对时间的态度,也反映了你对生活的态度。

你按时到达,不仅能给别人留下好印象,自己也能感觉到一种踏实与安心。

新概念英语第四册原文翻译详细笔记

Royal espionage 王室谍报活动 Alfred the Great acted his own spy, visiting Danish camps disguised as a minstrel. In those days wandering minstrels were welcome everywhere. They were not fighting men, and their harp was their passport. Alfred had learned many of their ballads in his youth, and could vary his programme with acrobatic tricks and simple conjuring. While Alfred's little army slowly began to gather at Athelney, the king himself set out to penetrate the camp of Guthrum, the commander of the Danish invaders. There had settled down for the winter at Chippenham: thither Alfred went.He noticed at once that discipline was slack: the Danes had the self-confidence of conquerors, and their security precautions were casual. They lived well, on the proceeds of raids on neighboring regions.There they collected women as well as food and drink, and a life of ease had made them soft. Alfred stayed in the camp a week before he returned to Athelney. The force there assembled was trivial compared with the Danish horde. But Alfred had deduced that the Danes were no longer fit forprolonged battle: and that their commissariat had no organization, but depended on irregular raids. So, faced with the Danish advance, Alfred did not risk open battle but harried the enemy.He was constantly on the move, drawing the Danes after him. His patrols halted the raiding parties: hunger assailed the Danish army. ⼀一间谍活动中世纪的咏游歌⼿手⾦金金琴⺠民歌___魔术杂技的⾯面⼊入向那⾥里里-n 得-i 持久的微不不⾜足道需供⽽而应⾯面对尤击⼀一n⼩小规模战⽃斗Now Alfred began a long series of skirmishes -- and within a month the Danes had surrendered.

How did Vera discover she had this gift of second sight?Several cases have been reported in Russia recently of people who can read and detect colours with their fingers, and even see through solid doors and walls. One case concerns an eleven-year-old schoolgirl, Vera Petrova, who has normal vision but who can also perceive things with different parts of her skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her father why he kept so many old newspapers locked away there, and even described the way they were done up in bundles.Vera's curious talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute in the town of Ulyanovsk, near where she lives, and in April she was given a series of tests by a special commission of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federal Republic. During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and, stranger still, by moving her elbow over a child's game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colours printed on it; and, in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colours of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar sensitivity. During all these tests Vera was blindfold; and, indeed, except when blindfold she lacked the ability to perceive things with her skin. It was also found that although she could perceive things with her fingers this ability ceased the moment her hands were wet.ERIC DE MAUNY Seeing hands from The Listener【New words and expressions ⽣词和短语】solid adj. 坚实的safe n. 保险柜ulyanovsk n. 乌⾥扬诺夫斯克commission n. 委员会opaque adj. 不透明的lotto n. ⼀种有编号的纸牌slipper n. 拖鞋blindfold adj.& adv. 被蒙上眼睛的【课⽂注释】1. of people who can read...,这个定语从句⽤来修饰主语cases,由于太长,因此被移⾄谓语之后。

3 play a role in,在...方面起作用。

4 in the vicinity of,在...的附近。

5 So was born the echo-sounding apparatus,这样就诞生了回声探测仪。

in general use,普遍使用。

6 steer clear of,避开。

新概念英语第四册Lesson8课文注释
1 Chickens slaughtered in ... to grace European tables.在这句话中引用了布鲁塞尔官员的评论,却没有放在引号之中。

这种方式常用于报刊文章,对读者的直接影响更大。

在claim officials in Brussels中,动词claim置于名词之前。

2 it is differences in national regulations .. between rich countries.是各国管理条例上的差异,而不是关税阻碍了发达国家之间的贸易。

这是一个
it 引导的强调句。

put sand in the wheels of,阻碍,阻挠。

3 So, ask businesses on both sides of the Atlantic,why have two lots of tests where one would do?这是另一个没有引号的直接引语的例子。

注意why have two...do 中的语序,这是非常口语化的直接引语的语序。
