新概念3Lesson 42 modern caveman

Lesson 42 modern cavemanCave exploration, or pot-holing, as it has come to be known, is a relatively new sport. Perhaps it is the desire for solution or the chance of making an unexpected discovery that lures people down to the depths of the earth. It is impossible to give a satisfactory explanation for a pot-holer’s motives. For him, caves have the same peculiar fascination which high mountains have for the climbers. They arouse instincts which can only be dimly understood.Exploring really deep caves is not a task for the Sunday afternoon ramber. Such undertakings require the orecise planning and foresight of military opertations. It can take as long as eight days to rig up rope ladders and to establish supply bases before a descent can be made into a very deep cave. Precautions of this sort are necessary, for it is impossinle to foretell the exact nature of the diffculties which will comfront the pot-holer. The deepest known cave in the world is the gouffre berger near gernoble. It extends to a depth of 3700 feet. This immense chasm has been formed by an underground stream which has tunneled a course through a flaw in the rock. The entrance to the cave is on a plateau I the Alps. As it is only 6 feet across, it is barely noticeable. The cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by thedistinguished french pot-holer, Berger. Since its discovery it has become a sort of pot-holer’s everst. Thought a number of descents have been made, much of it still remains to be explore.A team of pot-holers recently went down the GB. After entering the narrow gap on the plateau, they climbed down the steep sides of the cave until they came to a narrow corridor. They had to edge their way along this, sometimes wading across shallow streams , or swimming across deep pools. Suddenly they came to a waterfall which dropped into an underground lake at the bottom of the cave. They plunged into the lake,and after loading on an inflatable rubber dinghy, let the curret carry them to the other side. T o protect themselves from the icy water, they have to wear special rubber suits. At the far end of the lake, they came to huge piles of rubble which had been washed up by water. In this part of the cave, they could hear an insistant booming sound which they found was caused by a small waterspout shooting down into a pool from the roof of the cave. Squzzing through a cleft in the rocks, the pot-holers arrived in an enormous carven, the size of a huge concert hall. After switching on powerful arc light, they saw salagmites-sime of them over forty feet high- rising up like tree trunks t meet the stalactites suspended from the roof. Round about, piles of limestone glistened in all the colors of the rainbow. In theeerie silence of the carven, the only sound could be heard was made by water which dripped continuously from the high dome above.Jan 30th。

新概念第三册课文翻译及学习笔记【Lesson40、41、42】【课文】It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else. Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the fire brigade to put out a nonexistent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting studentwould ever indulge in. Students often create amusingsituations which are funny to everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumaticdrill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they werenot to take him seriously. He added that a student haddressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen weregrateful to the student for this piece of advance information.The student hid in an archway nearby where he couldwatch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one ofthe workmen, he threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen. As the men refusedto stop working, the police attempted to seize the pneumatic drill. The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper. He threatened to call the police. At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest. Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being taken to the station. Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a pay phone. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax.【课文翻译】谁也弄不清为什么大学生好像比任何人都更喜欢恶作剧。

These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.rocks.flaw: imperfection 补充听力John Legend《all of me》eg.

Cave exploration, or potholing, as it has come to be known, is a relatively new sport. Perhaps it is the desire
for solitude or the chance of making an unexpected discovery that lures men down to the depths of the earth. It is impossible to give a satisfactory explanation for a pot-
holer's motives. For him, caves have the same peculiar fascination which high mountains have for the climber. They arouse instincts which can only be dimly understood.
Exploring really deep caves is not a task for the Sunday afternoon rambler. Such undertakings require the precise planning and foresight of military operations. It can take as long as eight days to rig up rope ladders and to establish supply bases before a descent can be made into a very deep cave. Precautions of this sort are necessary, for it is impossible to foretell the exact nature of the difficulties which will confront the potholer. The deepest known cave in the world is the Gouffre Berger near Grenoble. It extends to a depth of 3723 feet. This immense chasm has been formed by an underground stream which has tunnelled a course through a flaw in the rocks. The entrance to the cave is on a plateau
in the Dauphine Alps. As it is only six feet across, it is barely noticeable. The cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French potholer, Berger. Since its discovery, it has become a sort of potholers' Everest. Though a number of descents have been made, much of it still remains to be explored.
A team of potholers recently went down the Gouffre Berger. After entering the narrow gap on the plateau, they climbed down the steep sides of the cave until they came to a narrow corridor. They had to edge their way along this, sometimes wading across shallow streams, or swimming across deep pools. Suddenly they came to a waterfall which dropped into an underground lake at the bottom of the cave. They plunged into the lake, and after loading their gear on an inflatable rubber dinghy, let the current carry them to the other side. To protect themselves from the icy water, they
had to wear special rubber suits. At the far end of the lake, they came to huge piles of rubble which had been washed up by the water. In this part of the cave, they could hear an insistent booming sound which they found was caused by a
small water-spout shooting down into a pool from the roof of the cave. Squeezing through a cleft in the rocks, the
potholers arrived at an enormous cavern, the size of a huge concert hall. After switching on powerful arc lights, they
saw great stalagmites—some of them over forty feet high--
rising up like tree-trunks to meet the stalactites suspended from the roof. Round about, piles of lime-stone glistened in
all the colours of the rainbow. In the eerie silence of the cavern, the only sound that could be heard was made by water which dripped continuously from the high dome above them.

洞穴勘查——或洞穴勘探——是一项比较新的体育活动。

寻求独
处的愿望或寻求意外发现的机会的欲望吸引人们来到地下深处。

要想
对洞穴探险者的动机作出满意的解释是不可能的。

对洞穴探险者来说,洞穴有一种特殊的魅力,就像高山对登山者有特殊魅力一样。

为什么
洞空能引发人的那种探险本能,人们对此只能有一种模模糊糊的理解。

探测非常深的洞穴不是那些在星期日下午漫步的人所能胜任的。

这种活动需要有军事行动般的周密布署和预见水平。

有时需要花费整整 8天时间来搭起绳梯,建立供应基地,然后才能到一个很深的洞穴里。

作出这样的准备是必要的,因为无法预见到洞穴探险者究竟会遇到什么性质的困难。

世界上最深的洞穴是格里诺布尔附近的高弗.伯杰洞,深达3,723英尺。

这个深邃的洞穴是由一条地下暗泉冲刷岩石中的缝隙并使之慢慢变大而形成的。

此洞的洞口在丹芬阿尔卑斯山的高原上,仅 6英尺宽,很难被发现。

若不是法国洞穴探险家伯杰因为偶然的机会发现了这个洞口的话,这个洞也许不会为人所知。

自从被发现以后,这个洞成了洞穴探险者的珠穆朗玛峰,人们多次进入洞内探险,但至今尚有很多东西有待勘探。

最近,一队洞穴探险者下到了高弗.伯杰洞里。

他们从高原上的窄缝进去,顺着笔直陡峭的洞壁往下爬。

来到一条狭窄的走廊上。

他们不得不侧着身子往前走,有时过浅溪,有时游过深潭。

突然,他们来到一道瀑布前,那瀑布奔泻而下,注入洞底一处地下湖里。

他们跳入湖中,把各种器具装上一只充气的橡皮艇,听任水流将他们带往对岸。

湖水冰冷刺骨,他们必须穿上一种特制的橡皮服以保护自己。

在湖的尽头,他们见到一大堆一大堆由湖水冲刷上岸的碎石。

在这儿,他们能够听见一种连续持续的轰鸣声。

后来他们发现这是由山洞顶部的一个小孔里喷出的水柱跌落到水潭中发出的声音。

洞穴探险者从岩石缝里挤身过去,来到一个巨大的洞里,其大小相当于一个音乐厅。

他们打开强力弧光灯,看见一株株巨大的石笋,有的高达40英尺,像树干似地向上长着,与洞顶悬挂下来的钟乳石相接。

周围是一堆堆石灰石,像彩虹一样闪闪发光。

洞里有一种可怕的寂静,的能够听见的声响是高高的圆顶上不间断地滴水的嘀嗒声。

【词汇】
caveman n.(远古)洞穴人
pot-holing n. 洞穴探险,洞穴探险运动。
