L1 Finding fossil manWe 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 world where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it assagas----legends handeddown from one generation of storytellers to 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.

蛰伏版新概念英语4逐句解析
蛰伏版新概念英语4逐句解析（正序版第一版）说明：一、【讲词】实际就是对单词及短语的解释，主要依据是《简明英汉词典》（金山词霸里的，感觉这词典收入的短语非常全）、《朗文当代英语词典》《美国传统词典》（灵格斯词霸里的）等。
二、【讲句】大部分出自权威的新概念学习书籍——《新概念英语自学导读》，部分参照《钻研《新概念英语》》（这本书的立意还算不错，可惜99%的翻译与《自学导读》一致，解析95%以上与《自学导读》相同）。
需要说明的是，这两本书都是相对权威，其实有不少地方都有曲解现象。
对有争议的部分本人全部列出，供大家参考。
对于没有解析的部分，本人依自己的理解及网友的讨论作了说明，欢迎批评指正。
三、学习建议：使用光标下移键，先看英文，再看解析，逐句理解，务求每个句子的句子结构了如指掌。
如此十遍，当受益匪浅。
对于句中的生词，建议使用灵格斯词霸里的《朗文当代英英词典》取词翻译，如果不懂，再用金山词霸取词翻译。
也就是先用英英词典，再用英汉词典。
使用英英词典，是英语水平提高的必由之路。
同时，全英文环境有利于英语学习的提速。
现在我使用全英文的windows XP和全英文的手机系统，不少单词在反复见面时就会了。

新概念英语长难句解析
新概念难句解析1. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas--legends handed down from one generation of story-tellers to another.解读:legends作sagas的同位语,后接被动分词短语做定语。
基本结构：主＋定＋谓＋宾＋同位。
翻译:他们保存历史的唯一方法是把历史作为英雄故事讲述--由说书者代代相传。
2.One can tell the difference almost at a glance for the spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.解读:主谓宾+原因状语（省略句）an insect never more than six 应该理解为昆虫只有六条腿而不是昆虫绝不多于六条腿,全句翻译如下:翻译:谁都可以一眼就看出蜘蛛与昆虫不同,蜘蛛都是八条腿,而昆虫最多只有六条。
3. Such inns as there were dirty and flea-ridden; the food simply local cheese accompanied by bread often twelve months old, all washed down with coarse wine.解读:第二个分句中,simply是副词，意为“食物只有.......”，而accompanied 含被动意思，说明人们把陈面包和乳酪搭配着吃，并不是乳酪自己同面包相配。
第二句作者把谓语省略了。
翻译：那里的小旅店通常又肮脏，跳蚤又多．吃的食物仅仅是当地产的乳酪加上存放了一年之久的面包，大家只能就着下等酒把它们吞下去．4.The gorilla is something of a paradox in the African scene.解读：这里的paradox并不是说猩猩是自相矛盾的动物，而是指人们对其捉摸不透。
