高中英语 VOA习惯用语第267讲 lower the boom素材-人教版高中全册英语素材

第267讲 lower the boom; throw away the key 内容：今天我们要讲的两个习惯用语都含有惩罚的意思。

要是一个人是惩罚的对象的话，这两个习惯用语会使他感到很痛苦的。

一个人在一生中没有受到任何形式的惩罚是很少的。

小的时候做错了事激怒了父母而受到惩罚也是常事。

例如像不准吃晚饭，不准出去玩等。

不过，我们今天要讲的是成年人犯了错误，或做了违法的事而受到惩罚。

现在我们先来讲第一个习惯用语。

To lower the boom. To lower就是把什么东西放低，boom在这里解释为帆船的帆下面的杠。

用这个杠可以按当时的需要把帆升高或降低。

要是一个人正在把杠往下放，而你的头正在杠下面的话，那个杠就会打到你的头。

这可能使你感到非常痛。

作为一个习惯用语，to lower the boom就是很严格的惩罚，或者是采取步骤严格地执行法律。

下面是一个电台报导的一条消息。

例句-1: The new chief of police announced today that he was going to lower the boom on drug peddlers by putting a lot more officers in neighborhoods where the situation is worst. 这则消息说：新的警察局局长今天宣布，他将派很多的警察到贩毒最严重的地区去，以此来对那些贩毒者进行严格的管制。

****** 美国的犯罪率比较高。

这是政府和公众都很关心的问题。

人们在如何解决犯罪这个问题上议论纷纷。

下面就是一个受害者在发表自己的看法。

例句2: I was robbed in broad daylight last year. The police caughtthe guy but set him free after six weeks. I don't understand this, why can'tthey lower the boom on these criminals so that they will think twice before they do something bad. 这个人说：去年，我在光天化日之下遭到抢劫。

Zoom, a videoconferencing service now worth around $40bn through which many such classes are broadcast, has become one of the most important “social wellness” companies, reckons Beth McGroarty of the Global Wellness Institute, a research group. Those stuck inside are desperate for company.On YouTube average daily views of videos including “with me” in the title—convivial baking, studying and decluttering清理are all available—have increased by 600% since March 15th compared with the rest of the year. Last week DJ D-Nice, an American disc jockey, drew over 100,000 virtual partygoers聚会的客人to his “Club Quarantine” on Instagram Live.The stuck-at-home are also keen to improve themselves. Downloads of the top five recipe apps doubled in Chin a during February’s lockdown. In Britain John Lewis, an upmarket高档的department store, has reported a five-fold increase in sales of its Marcato pasta machine compared with typical sales for this time of year. Kettlebells and yoga mats are selling like toilet paper. Joe Wicks, a trainer who posts workout videos online, saw subscriptions to his channel more than double after he launched live physical-education lessons for kids no longer able to burn off their energy at school. During the first week of classes 15m viewers joined in.The popularity of live group activities challenges the idea that you have to be physically present to be together. People who work out in groups are more committed and get more health benefits than those doing so alone. It is also showing just how much can be “experienced” from the comfort of the c ouch, raising the bar for experiences such as concerts and classes in the post-covid world.Even before the pandemic, fitness fans wondered whether paid-for online platforms such as Peloton, a home exercise-bike company, could replace gyms. That debate will pump up further if gyms go bust生意失败because of the shutdowns.It seems more likely that the strange but temporary state of lockdown will boost sectors that were already growing. Mental-health apps were flourishing before covid-19. Downloads of the five m ost popular “mindfulness” apps grew by 85% in 2018. In the last week of March Headspace, a meditation app, saw a 19-fold jump in users completing a calming exercise and a 14-fold surge in those doing a “reframing anxiety” session.参考译文“Up off your chairs and just start lifting those feet,” chirps a woman sporting green leggings as she marches energetically.

高中英语 VOA美国习惯用语讲座(文本) 第447 talk in circles素材

高中英语 VOA美国习惯用语讲座（文本）第447 talk incircles素材音频地址：Sound/lesson447.mp3内容：我们今天来讲几个描绘不同言谈方式的习惯用语。

第一个是: talk in circles。

Circle意思是园圈，中文也有“说话绕圈子”的说法，意思是说话不直截了当，迷惑听话的人。

我们通过个例子来体会英文talk in circles是不是含义相同。

我们知道要是一名辩护律师承办证据不利于当事人的案子，那他作辩护时就可能会采取迂回战术，以混淆法官和陪审团的视听。

下面这段话正是这样的例子。

例句-1：He was caught standing over the victim with a smoking gun. His lawyer talked in circles trying to confuse the jury. But they still remembered that smoking gun and found him guilty.他说：他被逮住的时候脚下就躺着被害人，手上还握着冒烟的手枪。

他的律师绕着圈子说话，试图把陪审团弄糊涂，但是陪审团还是忘不了那把冒烟的手枪，仍然判定他有罪。

他的罪证确凿，所以律师想为他开脱罪责就不能实话直说了，只得转弯抹角地误导听众。

这就是talk in circles这个习惯用语的意思。

******再学个习惯用语表示又一种说话方式: double talk。

Do uble有两面、双重的意思，手腕高强的政客在被问及引起争议的问题时，时而会采用double talk，让听的人摸不着头脑。

下面就是个例子:例句-2：Someone asked the candidate whether he'd vote to cut our taxes. He gave the crowd a lot of double-talk which left us arguing afterwards whether his a nswer was yes or no.他说：有人问侯选人他是否会投票赞成为我们减税。

2020年高考英语外刊时事命题阅读理解：美国女孩Alyssa Carson的星际之旅

Shooting for the Stars美国女孩Alyssa Carson的星际之旅“I’m ready,” said Alyssa Carson, an 19-year-old American girl. We were in Universal’s Islands of Adventure, a theme park in Orlando, Florida, standing before the entrance of The Incredible Hulk. It’s a roller coaster that accelerates (加速) up to 108 kilometers per hour in two seconds and travels upside down seven times. I hadn’t eaten for hours, but Alyssa was enjoying an ice cream. “Do you want to wait until you’ve digested that?” I asked.“No,” she responded forcefully. “Let’s go!”For Alyssa, after all, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not such a big deal. If all goes well, NASA will send her and other suitable candidates to Mars in the 2030s, which will make her one of the first people to ever set foot on the red planet. She will spend two to three years colonizing (将……建为殖民地) it, growing food, performing scienceexperiments, and searching for signs of life. Alyssa has decided to devote her entire life to preparing for this journey.Now an astronaut-in-training at NASA, Alyssa became interested in space after watching a cartoon at the age of three. In one episode, five animal friends have an imaginary adventure to Mars. At that moment, she thought this strange red planet looked so cool and she started to dream of going to Mars.When she turned seven, Alyssa’s father took her to a NASA space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. She got to see a life-sized rocket. She got to master the basics (基本知识) of space science. She got to meet the veteran (资深的) astronaut Sandra Magnus who convinced her that her love of space was not just a passing interest. Five years later, Alyssa became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps.Apart from training, Alyssa also travels to different countries to speak to her peers. She gets them excited about space exploration and encourages them to follow their own dreams. When I met her, she was speaking to 3,500 teenagers from around the world at the International Convention of BBYO, a Jewish youth group that focuses on leadership and social action. “We are the Mars Generation,” Alyssa said. “Together, we can do anything.”Still, sometimes Alyssa wants to be just a regular teenager. BBYO rented out Universal’s Islands of Adventure the Saturday night of the conference. When we rode The Incredible Hulk together, we sat amongst rows of teenagers. And just like them, the girl with her long brown hair screamed for the entire two-minute ride like any kid having fun at the fair.（选自Sciencemag）1. According to the article, Alyssa Carson ______.A. showed interest in Mars when she was reading a book about spaceB. began to receive professional training at the age of sevenC. had attended all three NASA space camps by the time she was 12D. will likely be sent to Mars at the age of 352. Alyssa Carson travels around the world to ______.A. have space training coursesB. meet other teenagersC. raise money for NASA’s Mars programD. inspire young people to keep their own dreams alive3. What CANNOT be inferred from the article?A. The Incredible Hulk is an exciting amusement ride.B. Alyssa will have many tasks to complete if she lands on Mars successfully.C. Alyssa was forced to learn the basics of space science by her father.D. Alyssa enjoys riding roller coasters like many other young people.译文：“我准备好了，”一名19岁的美国女孩艾丽莎·卡森说。

高中英语VOA习惯用语第280讲raisethedevil素材

第280讲 raise the devil; devil's advocate 内容：今天我们要讲的习惯用语里都有这样一个词：devil。

它的意思是魔鬼。

这可是个引起人们恶感的词。

在基督教文化里，魔鬼是背叛上帝的邪恶之灵，但是被正义的天使打败，驱逐出天堂。

从此魔鬼就在地狱称王，并成为人间的万恶之源。

今天我们要讲的第一个习惯用语是：raise the devil. Raise这个词有"惹起"，或者"使出现"的意思。

那么从字面意思看来，raise the devil可不就是让牛鬼蛇神都出笼，闹得鸡犬不宁吗？好，我们来听一个例子。

这是一个公司经理在发脾气。

让我们仔细听听raise the devil在这段话里是什么意思，还有这位经理为什么这样恼火？例句-1：Ask Tom to come right now! I just fo und out he shipped the watches to New York instead of Los Angeles. I'm going to raise the devil with him. 这位经理火冒三丈要马上把Tom叫来，因为他刚发现Tom把那些手表定货送错了地方，运去了纽约而不是洛杉矶，所以经理要把Tom叫来好好训斥一番。

可见raise the devil这个习惯用语意思就是"暴跳如雷，大叫大骂。

" 还有，不知你有没有注意到，"大声训斥某一个人"，就是raise the devil with someone. 这里用介词with。

****** 接下来我们还要听一个例子，里面也有习惯用语raise the devil。

这是一位大学校长在和学校的财务主任争辩，反对提高学费。

请你仔细听，在这段话里raise the devil表达甚么样的情况。

先让我们来学一个生词：tuition这个词的意思是学费。

高中VOA英语—美国习惯用语讲座(doc版) 第384讲 trim one s sail素材

标题：美国习惯用语-第384讲 trim one's sail; take the wind outof one's sail...内容：我们上次讲了好几个来自海员生活的习惯用语。

今天我们还要讲几个来自海员却被一般人采纳的习惯用语。

过去，船只前进靠的不是发动机而是风吹船帆。

船帆是sail，所以水手跟船帆结下不解之缘。

水手之间也因而流行不少从sail发展来的习惯用语。

尽管帆船航运已是陈年往事，但是这些习惯用语却流传至今。

我们先要学的是：trim one's sails。

Trim在这里的意思是调整船帆以适应风向变化。

如今这个习惯用语已经被用在跟操纵船帆不相干的各种事务。

我们要听的例子把它用在竞争激烈的竞选活动中：例句-1：First thiscandidate said he wanted to cut social security. But when he saw most voterswere against such cuts, he quickly trimmed his sails and completely changedhis position. 这位候选人起先要削减社会福利，但是当他看到大多数选民都反对这样做，他的立场就立刻来个一百八十度的转向。

他显然是为了顺应人心而改变立场以便争取更多选票，所以习惯用语trimone's sails, 意思是为适应不同情况而改变观念行动，其实中国有一句类似的成语就是"见风使舵。

" ****** 我们再学个由船帆发展而来的习惯用语：take the windout of one's sails。

Take the wind out of one's sails这个习惯用语的出典是故意用自己的船去挡敌船的风。

敌船上的帆吃不到风，速度当然就会减慢。

这个习惯用语同样也被广泛应用在其它场合。

专门多人都明白scratch那个词的意思是抓、或者刨刮表面。

高中英语 VOA常速听力2020年08月合辑(文本)Olympic-History-on-Displ

高中英语 VOA常速听力2020年08月合辑（文本）Olympic-History-on-Display-During-London-Games素材LONDON — A little known requirement for every Olympic Games host city is to put on a stamp-collecting exhibit. Usually these are small and attract only serious collectors. But in London, the exhibit is designed for a larger audience.This year's Olympics stamp exhibit is at the large and popular British Library, where local residents and visitors have easy, and free, access. The displays focus on stamps and posters from London's two previous Olympics, in 1908 and 1948, and from the first modern Games in Athens in 1896. But they also include other types of artifacts.Curator Bob Wilcock is particularly proud of a rare copy of the official poster for the 1908 London Olympics. But it is just one of thousands of pieces of history on display.One of Wilcock's favorite postcards features Thomas Jack, the man who was leading the marathon in 1908, but stopped off at a pub along the way and never finished the race.There is so much to sort through that the library has put all of these very analog artifacts into a digital database. Visitors can touch a series of large screens and go right to the year or event that interests them.The exhibit also has an outdoor element, with Wilcock and other experts answering visitors' questions and selling 2020 Olympics stamps and postcards so people can make their own memorabilia.For the curator, that is really what collecting and displaying Olympics items is all about."It can be something for everybody," added Wilcock. "It's a means of preserving your individual, personal Olympic memories, the story of your visit to a Games. And in the process, you are also able to tell Olympic history.It's probably not the first thing people think about when they plan a trip to the Olympics.
