全新版大学英语第一册第4单元Tony trivisonno's american dream ppt

Summer passed into fall, and winds blew cold. "Mr. Craw, snow pretty soon," Tony told me one evening. "When winter come, you give me job clearing snow at the factory."
The months passed. I asked the personnel department for a report. They said Tony was a very good worker.
One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage. "I want to be 'prentice," he said.
~ary,adj ~about sth Eg,she was extranely ~ about his work .
"I mow your lawn," he said.
I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy objects to lift or things to fix.
"A man got the lawn mower out of the garage and worked on the yard," she answered. "I assumed you had hired him."
I told her of my experience the night before. We thought it strange that he had not asked for pay.
几个月过去了。我让人事部门送上一份报告。他们说托尼干得挺棒。 一天我在汽车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。“我想学徒，”他说。 我们有个挺不错的培训工人的徒工学校。可我怀疑托尼是否有能力学会看图纸、用 千分尺，是否胜任做精密加工工作。尽管如此，可我怎么能拒绝他呢 ? 托尼减了薪水当了徒工。几个月之后，我收到报告，他已从徒工学校毕业，成了熟 练磨工。他学会了在千分尺上辨识一百万分之一英寸，会用镶嵌着金刚石的工具制 作砂轮。我和太太都挺高兴，觉得他的事总算有了个令人满意的结局。

My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was satisfying end of the story.
We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained laborers. But I doubted whether Tony had the capacity to read blueprints and micrometers or do precision work. Still, how could I turn him down?
Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? Of course, Tony got his job at the factory.
“我割你的草坪，”他说。 我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪，就这样托尼每天清扫院子，有什么零活，他都干了。 我太太说，但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的，他挺派得上用场。 夏去秋来，凉风阵阵。“克罗先生，快下雪了，”有天晚上托尼跟我说。“等冬天 到了，你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。” 啊，对这种执着与期盼，你又能怎样呢 ? 自然，托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。
