译林牛津版高一英语必修4 Unit2 The Olympic Games电子文本、课文注释及翻译
语篇翻译（一）课文注释Unit 2 ReadingThe Olympic GamesGood afternoon, students and teachers. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, I am delighted to①have been invited to your school to talk to you about the history and significance②of the Olympic Games. I'll share some interesting facts and stories with you, and then we'll have time for questions.Do you know when the ancient Olympic Games began? It was in the year 776 BC. They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years③, for almost 12 centuries, until AD 394.Some of the sports from the ancient Olympics are still seen today, such as the long jump, wrestling and running. At the ancient Olympics, by tradition④the athletes were all men and they had to compete wearing no clothes. Single women were allowed to take part in⑤their own competition⑥, at a separate festival in honour of Hera, the wife of the Greek god Zeus. Today, both male and female athletes from around the world can take part, no matter what nation they come from.The contemporary⑦Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life⑧. He dreamt that the Olympics would make it possible for people of all countries to live side by side⑨in peace⑩. Now people all over the world are helping to realize this dream⑪. Among them are many well-known athletes.Did you know that perhaps the most famous boxer of all time first came to public attention⑫during the 1960 Rome Olympics? He won the gold medal for the USA, under his birth name Cassius Clay. Afterwards, this young man went on⑬to win the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship in 1964 and later changed his name to the one we all know, Muhammad Ali. He returned to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony⑭.Another sports star I would like to mention is Michael Jordan. Everyone knows of⑮his success in the NBA, but do you know that he helped the USA basketball team win the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics? Jordan also returned to the Olympics after many years, but unlike Muhammad Ali, he was still competing for⑯ medals. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan won his second Olympic gold medal as a member of the so-called 'Dream Team'.Chinese athletes have also made important contributions⑰ to the Olympic Games. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the People's Republic of China returned to the Olympics after 32 years' absence⑱. I am sure the whole of China must have felt proud when Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal for his country. Deng Yaping, who won four Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996, is perhaps the greatest female table tennis player the world has ever seen. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang excited⑲ people all over Asia when he became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles.The Chinese led the way⑳at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 51 gold medals. For the first time in history, the Chinese women's gymnastics team won the gold medal. However, the athlete that some people remember most was Zhang Ning, a former badminton champion. At the age of 33, she was much older than the other players. Yet, she hung on○21to win the gold medal in the final match.These are some of the Olympic athletes who have brought joy to people across the world with their attempts ○22to push○23the boundaries of human achievement. We are looking forward to○24 seeing more of them in future Olympic Games. Join me in wishing the Olympic Movement a successful future to match○25its past glory○26. Thank you. Now, are there any questions?课文注释①be delighted to do/to have done : 高兴去做某事/ 高兴做过某事②significance n. 意义；重要性be of significance =be significant③every four years每四年④by tradition照传统⑤take part in参加，参与⑥competition n. 竞争；比赛，竞赛compete vi. 竞争；比赛；对抗competitive adj. 竞争的；比赛的⑦contemporary n. 同时代的人；同时期的东西adj. 当代的；同时代的；属于同一时期的⑧bring…back to life 使复活⑨side by side并肩；一起；并排⑩in peace和平地；安静，宁静；安祥地⑪realize one’s dream 实现梦想⑫come to public attention引起公众关注⑬go on to do 继续做另一件事go on doing sth 继续做同一件事⑭at the opening ceremony在开幕式上; 在开幕典礼上⑮know of知道，了解…；听说过…⑯compete for为…竞争；为…比赛⑰made contributions to 为…做贡献⑱absence n. 没有；缺乏；缺席；不注意adj. 缺席的；缺少的；心不在焉的；茫然的be absent fromvt. 使缺席absent oneself from⑲excite vt. 激起；刺激…，使…兴奋excited adj. 兴奋的；激动的exciting adj. 令人兴奋的/激动的⑳lead the way 领先；带路○21hang on坚持下去；不挂断；握住不放○22with one’s attempt to do 尝试做某事○23push vt. 推动，增加；对…施加压力，逼迫；按；说服vi. 推进；增加；努力争取n. 推，决心；大规模攻势；矢志的追求○24look forward to (doing) sth 盼望/期待做某事○25match vt. 使比赛；使相配；敌得过，比得上；相配；与…竞争vi. 比赛；匹配；相配，相称；相比n. 比赛，竞赛；匹配；对手；火柴○26glory n. 光荣，荣誉；赞颂课文译文奥林匹克运动会老师们，同学们，下午好。

英语人教版必修4学案：Unit 2 Section Ⅰ Warming Up Reading Pre-reading含解析
Establishing a human colony on the Moon and travelling to Mars has been the stuff of dreams since the dawn of the space age.But these visions face many hurdles (障碍). How can humans survive for months or years in the ultra-hostile (极端恶劣的) environment of space? What, for instance, will they eat?Agricultural researchers at a Dutch university say they are taking the first steps towards providing an answer.They are growing vegetables in soils similar to those found on the Moon and Mars, looking for ways of helping space pioneers grow their own crops. “When people go to the Moon and Mars they also have to eat, and it's easiest for them to grow their own food，”said Wieger Wamelink, surrounded by several dozen plants in a special greenhouse at Wageningen, an agricultural university in central Netherlands.“We wanted to use real Martian and lunar soil, to see if plants would actually grow in it，” Wamelink told reporters.Of course, getting real lunar and Martian potting soil is an impossible task. But an Internet search revealed an unlikely supplier: NASA.“The US space agency makes ground similar to that on the Moon from sand found in an Arizona desert, while Mars'crimson ‘soil’is scooped (舀；掏) from a volcano in Hawaii，” Wamelink told reporters.The first experiments started in 2013 after Wageningen received an order of 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of NASA's imitation “space soil” — at a hefty price of 2,000 euros (＄2,285).“To work in this soil was very special. Nobody, not even NASA, could tell us what would happen, even just by simply adding water，” he said. The imitation ground at first was a little “reluctant” (勉强的) to absorb water, but soon turned out to be good potting soil.“Especially in the Martian soil, plants were growing very fast and very good. They even started to flower, something that we never anticipated (预料，预见)，” Wamelink said.Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre-reading[原文呈现]A PIONEER①FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land② to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt③ face and arms andhis slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, ④for whom he has struggled⑤ for the past five decades⑥. Yuan Longping grows what is called super⑦hybrid⑧rice⑨. In 1973, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice⑩ that has a high output⑪. This special strain⑫of rice makes it possible to produce 20% more of the crop⑬in the same fields⑭. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China⑮each year is from this hybrid strain.Born in 1930, Yuan Longping graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice⑯has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger⑰was a disturbing⑱problem in many parts of the countryside. Yuan Longping searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding⑲the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce about fifty-six million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests⑳mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in the world. Yuan Longping is now circulating○21his knowledge in India, Vietnam○22and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to○23his research, the UN has more tools in the battle○24to rid the world of○25hunger. Using his hybrid rice○26，farmers are producing harvests twice as large as○27before.[读文清障]①pioneer n．开拓者；先锋；先驱②work the land耕种土地work在此处意为“管理，经营，耕种”，是及物动词。
