“We’ve Been Hit!”Adam Mayblum used to enjoy watching as storms lashed the windows of his office:过去很享受看着暴风雨敲打他办公室的场景You think that’s power? Mayblum would scoff. I’m on the 87th floor of the World Trade Center. That’s power.你认为这就是力量?可能会讥笑。

我在世界贸易中心的87楼。

这就是力量。

百叶窗上的拉绳看起来像在轻轻的摇晃,但他是一种假象。

Although they were 1,040 feet in the sky, The WTC was quite steady.虽然它是在距离地面1040英尺的高空,但是在世贸大厦中心还是相当稳固的When Mayblum felt a devastating rumble on that September morning, he glanced at the drawstrings. They were careening wildly, three feet in either direction.在那个九月的早上,当感到毁灭性的隆隆声时,他瞥了一眼拉绳。

它们剧烈地摆动到3英尺的任何方向Mayblum would be one of thousands cast into an extraordinary purgatory that morning.那个早晨,有数以千计的人将被卷入一场惊心动魄的灾难,也是其中一员While as many as 25,000 would find their way to safety, 5,000 would not.尽管多达25000人找到了他们安全逃生的方式,但另外的5000人人却没有逃脱得了这场灾难。

Unit 1 We've been hit 课文讲解课件
Mayblum had worked with Ramos off and on for 14 years.
Detailed reading
8 Sparks bit at Mayblum’s ankles as he raced for the stairs. He bolted down two flights before realizing that his trading partner, Hong Zhu, had been left behind. He went back upstairs, the whole area now filled with smoke and burning jet fuel. 9 There was no sign of Hong. Mayblum hurried down again and made it to the 78th floor, a transfer lobby where one set of elevators and stairs ended and another began. He saw a reassuring sight; Ramos had waded into the pandemonium to help panicked workers into a stairwell.
Sentence Appreciation
For some, it was a matter of geography — not just which tower they worked in or on which floor, but in which corner of the building. 对有些人来说,重要的是此时此刻他们躲 在的位置——不仅是哪幢楼,哪一层,更重 要的是大楼的哪个角落。

Unit 1 “We’ve Been Hit!”With the building in flames, one man needed help. Another man refused to leave him.Adam Mayblum used to enjoy watching as storms lashed the windows of his office: You think that’s power? Mayblum would scoff. I’m on the 87th fl oor of the World Trade Center. That’s power. The drawstrings on his window shades would appear to sway slightly, but it was an illusion. Although they were 1,040 feet in the sky, The WTC was quite steady.When Mayblum felt a devastating rumble on that September morning, he glanced at the drawstrings. They were careening wildly, three feet in either direction.Mayblum would be one of thousands cast into an extraordinary purgatory that morning1. While as many as 25,000 would find their way to safety, 5,000 would not.For some, it was a matter of geography2 — not just which tower they worked in or on which floor, but in which corner of the building.For some, the choices were as basic as which staircase to use. Others faced the ultimate moral dilemma: Save yourself, or save another.The confusion inside Adam Mayblum’s office at May Davis, a financial services firm, lasted just seconds. He knew he needed to get out.He ripped his T-shirt into pieces, soaked the pieces in water and gave them to colleagues to cover their faces. Among them: Harry Ramos, head trader at May Davis. Mayblum had worked with Ramos off and on for 14 years.3Sparks bit at Mayblum’s ankles as he raced for the stairs. He bolted down two flights before realizing that his trading partner, Hong Zhu, had been left behind. He went back upstairs, the whole area now filled with smoke and burning jet fuel.There was no sign of Hong. Mayblum hurried down again and made it to the 78th floor, a transfer lobby where one set of elevators and stairs ended and another began. He saw a reassuring sight; Ramos had waded into the pandemonium to help panicked workers into a stairwell.Mayblum continued his descent, the muscles in his calves contracting in spasms. On the 53rd floo r, he came across a heavyset man whose legs just wouldn’t move anymore.4“Do you want to come, or do you want us to send help?” Mayblum shouted.The man asked him to send help. Adam said he would.In the noise, smoke and sparks, Mayblum didn’t realize that his friend Hong Zhu was behind him in the stairwell the whole time. When Hong got to the 53rd floor, he came across Harry Ramos. Ramos had stooped to help the heavyset man Mayblum had seen earlier. “I’ll give you a hand,” Hong said.Together, Ramos and Hong helped the man down one more flight to an elevator.“Don’t take it,” a Port Authority official screamed.Hong and Ramos tried to send a magazine down in the elevator to test its safety. But when they pressed the “down” button, the doors wouldn’t close. So Hong decided that he would be the guinea pig instead.5He stepped inside, and the doors shut behind him.Hong took the elevator down to the 44th floor, the next transfer lobby. So far, so good. He pressed “52,” went back up and collected Ramos and the heavyset man.On 44 Hong and Ramos helped the man toward the last bank of elevators that would take them all the way down.Hong pressed the “down” button again. Nothing. They would have to take the stairs.Ramos a nd Hong tried to support the man. “One step at a time,” Hong said.They had been trying to get out for an hour and five minutes. They were on 36 when they felt the South Tower collapse.“We really have to move,” Hong said.The rumbles of the collapsing tower next door seemed to sap the heavyset man of his last gasps of energy. “I can’t do it anymore,” he said, sitting down.Hong and Ramos tried to persuade him to continue. “You don’t have to move your legs!” Hong shouted. “Just move your butt. Let’s go!” But the man couldn’t go on.A fireman ran up to them. Hong expected that he would join in to get the heavy man to move. Instead, the fireman turned to Hong.“Who are you, screaming at him to get out?” the fireman shouted. “You get out!”Hong looked at Ramos, who was still standing with the heavyset man.“I’m coming down with you,” Ramos told the man. “I’m not going to leave.”“I left,” Hong says sorrowfully. “Alone.”The next day, Adam Mayblum sent an e-mail describing his experience to friends and relatives, who sent it to still others. The e-mail was read by someone in San Francisco who knew a woman in New York named Rebecca. Her husband, Victor, a heavyset man, was missing.On Saturday, September 15, May Davis’s chairman had a gathering at his New Jersey home. Adam Mayblum was there. So was Hong Zhu. Rebecca was also there, learning how her husband, Victor, had been comforted in his last moments, how Harry Ramos had refused to leave him behind.Ramos’s wife, M icky, was there too. She kept asking Mayblum and Hong where her husband was, convinced that somehow, Harry —the only May Davis employee stillmissing — was alive.Piece by piece, she developed a picture of his escape: Harry was on 87 when the plane hit. He stopped to help on 78. He met up with Hong on 53. But as hard as she tried, as many questions as she asked, the picture began to fade on the 36th floor.6“我们被撞了”亚当·梅布拉姆过去很享受看着暴风雨敲打他办公室窗户的场景:你认为这就是力量吗?梅布拉姆可能会讥笑。

Unit1WeveBeenHit课文翻译综合教程二

Unit 1 “We've Been Hit!”With the building in flames, one man needed help. Another man refused to leave him.Adam Mayblum used to enjoy watching as storms lashed the windows of his office: You think that's power? Mayblum would scoff. I'm on the 87th floor of the World Trade Center. That's power. The drawstrings on his window shades would appear to sway slightly, but it was an illusion. Although they were 1,040 feet in the sky, The WTC wasquite steady.When Mayblum felt a devastating rumble on that September morning, he glanced at the drawstrings. They were careening wildly, three feet in either direction.Mayblum would be one of thousands cast into an extraordinary purgatory that morning1. While as many as 25,000 would find their way to safety, 5,000 would not.For some, it was a matter of geography2 —not just which tower they worked in or on which floor, but in which corner of the building.For some, the choices were as basic as which staircase to use. Others faced the ultimate moral dilemma: Save yourself, or save another.The confusion inside Adam Mayblum's office at May Davis, a financial services firm, lasted just seconds. He knew he needed to get out.He ripped his T-shirt into pieces, soaked the pieces in water and gave them to colleagues to cover their faces. Among them: Harry Ramos, head trader at May Davis. Mayblum had worked with Ramos off and on for 14 years.3Sparks bit at Mayblum's ankles as he raced for the stairs. He bolted down two flights before realizing that his trading partner, Hong Zhu, had been left behind. He went back upstairs, the whole area now filled with smoke and burning jet fuel.There was no sign of Hong. Mayblum hurried down again and made it to the 78th floor, a transfer lobby where one set of elevators and stairs ended and another began. He saw a reassuring sight; Ramos had waded into the pandemonium to help panicked workers into a stairwell.Mayblum continued his descent, the muscles in his calves contracting in spasms. On the 53rd floor, he came across a heavyset man whose legs just wouldn't move anymore.4 “Do you want to come, or do you want us to send help?”Mayblum shouted.The man asked him to send help. Adam said he would.In the noise, smoke and sparks, Mayblum didn't realize that his friend Hong Zhu was behind him in the stairwell the whole time. When Hong got to the 53rd floor, he came across Harry Ramos. Ramos had stooped to help the heavyset man Mayblum had seen earlier. “I'll give you a hand,”Hong said.Together, Ramos and Hong helped the man down one more flight to an elevator.“Don't take it,”a Port Authority official screamed.Hong and Ramos tried to send a magazine down in the elevator to test its safety. But when they pressed the “down”button, the doors wouldn't close. So Hong decided that he would be the guinea pig instead.5He stepped inside, and the doors shut behind him.Hong took the elevator down to the 44th floor, the next transfer lobby. So far, sogood. He pressed “52,”went back up and collected Ramos and the heavyset man.On 44 Hong and Ramos helped the man toward the last bank of elevators that would take them all the way down.Hong pressed the “down”button again. Nothing. They would have to take the stairs.Ramos and Hong tried to support the man. “One step at a time,”Hong said.They had been trying to get out for an hour and five minutes. They were on 36 whenthey felt the South Tower collapse.“We really have to move,”Hong said.The rumbles of the collapsing tower next door seemed to sap the heavyset man of hislast gasps of energy. “I can't do it anymore,”he said, sitting down.Hong and Ramos tried to persuade him to continue. “You don't have to move yourlegs!”Hong shouted. “Just move your butt. Let's go!”But the man couldn't go on.A fireman ran up to them. Hong expected that he would join in to get the heavy manto move. Instead, the fireman turned to Hong.“Who are you, screaming at him to get out?”the fireman shouted. “You get out!”Hong looked at Ramos, who was still standing with the heavyset man.“I'm coming down with you,”Ramos told the man. “I'm not going to leave.”“I left,”Hong says sorrowfully. “Alone.”The next day, Adam Mayblum sent an e-mail describing his experience to friends and relatives, who sent it to still others. The e-mail was read by someone in San Franciscowho knew a woman in New York named Rebecca. Her husband, Victor, a heavyset man,was missing.On Saturday, September 15, May Davis's chairman had a gathering at his New Jersey home. Adam Mayblum was there. So was Hong Zhu. Rebecca was also there, learninghow her husband, Victor, had been comforted in his last moments, how Harry Ramos had refused to leave him behind.Ramos's wife, Micky, was there too. She kept asking Mayblum and Hong where herstillemployee Davis May only the —Harry somehow, that convinced was, husbandmissing —was alive.Piece by piece, she developed a picture of his escape: Harry was on 87 when theplane hit. He stopped to help on 78. He met up with Hong on 53. But as hard as she tried,as many questions as she asked, the picture began to fade on the 36th floor.6“我们被撞了”亚当·梅布拉姆过去很享受看着暴风雨敲打他办公室窗户的场景:你认为这就是力量吗?梅布拉姆可能会讥笑。

Presiden t Bush’s address to the nationGood evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us withdisbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong.A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining. Today, our nation saw evil — the very worst of human nature — and we responded with the best of America. With the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government’s emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it’s prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington . to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and to take every precaution to protect ourcitizens at home and around the world from further attacks. The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be openfor business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.The search is underway for those who were behind these evil acts. I have directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible andto bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalfof the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance. America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve,for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a Power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23:“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me.”This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.Thank you. Good night. And God bless America!2. September 11 attacksThe September 11 attacks (often referred to as September 11th or 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and manyothers working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There were no survivors from any of the flights.The death toll of the attacks was 2,995, including the 19 hijackers. The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 70 countries. In addition, there is at least one secondary death — one person was ruled by a medical examiner to have died from lung disease due to exposure to dust from the World Trade Center’s collapse.Text I“We’ve Been Hit!”Global ReadingI. Main ideaThe text describes a particular episode in the disaster that occurred on September 11, 2001 in New York, in praise of the courage and compassion of man. It presents three people in the attack, who demonstrated great valor trying to save those who were in danger and needed help.II. Structural analysis1. Divide the text into parts by completing the table.2. What is the function of the last partIt is a most touching scene. It seems to suggest that the author has, from what is described above, reached the conclusion about the ultimate moral dilemma: “Save yourself, or save another.”Detailed ReadingParagraph 1Questions1. How much do you know about the World Trade CenterThe World Trade Center was more than its signature twin towers: it was a complex of 7 buildings on 16 acres, constructed and operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The towers rose at the heart of the complex,each climbing more than 100 feet higher than the silver mast of the Empire State Building. The World Trade Center was hit by hijacked planes on September 11, 2001.2. What images are used to emphasize the steadiness of the WTC Storms and drawstrings.Paragraphs 2-5Questions1. Can you paraphrase the sentence “They were careening wildly, three feet in either direction.” in Paragraph 2 (Paragraph 2)They were swaying up to three feet from side to side, likea ship in a great storm.2. What is the implication of the parallel sentences in Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 (Paragraph 5)These sentences are used to emphasize the fact that the people in the building were in great danger and whether they would survive depended very much on where they happened to be when the building was struck and which staircase theywould use to get out.Paragraphs 6-9Questions1. Is there any evidence of people’s concern for others (Paragraph 9)Yes, Mayblum shared his ripped T-shirt with his colleagues, Mayblum went back to look for his trading partner, and Ramos helped panicked workers into a stairwell.2. What does “Ramos had waded into the pandemonium” mean (Paragraph 9)It means that he “had walked into the wild chaos with great determination.”Paragraphs 10-14These paragraphs depict the scene of Mayblum's encounter with the heavyset man on the 53rd floor where Ramos and Hong offered timely help.Paragraphs 15-22Questions1. How do you understand the sentence “So far, so good” in (Paragraph 18)Things are satisfactory up to this point.2. How did they manage to get down from the 53rd floor to the 36th floor (Paragraph 22)They first got down to the 44th floor in the elevator which, fortunately, was still working. Then Ramos and Hong helped the man down to the 36th floor, which took them an hour and five minutes.Paragraphs 23-30Questions1. What does “Who are you, screaming at him to get out” inPara. 27 mean (Paragraph 27)Who do you think you are You have no right to shout athim and order him to get out.2. Why did the fireman shout at Hong What did he possibly do after Hong left (Paragraph 30)Possibly because he wanted to save at least one more person. After Hong left, he probably joined Ramos in helping the heavyset man.Paragraphs 31-34Questions1) Where did the heavyset man live (Paragraph 31)In New York.2) What is the significance of the last paragraph And what is its relation to the subtitle of the text “With the building in flames, one man needed help. Another man refused to leave him” (Paragraph 34)The last paragraph is a condensed account of Ramos’s heroic deed. It echoes the subtitle with a very moving picture.Notice the word “fade,” which literally means “become unclear,”suggesting that Harry Ramos’s wife was unable toaccept the truth about her husband’s death.Text IIRethinking SkyscrapersJerkily WatsonLead-in QuestionsWhat do you think of the skyscrapers shooting up in the city with the urban developmentMain ideaPara 1: thesis statementPara2-3: The loss of lives caused by 9/11attacksPara4-7: Investigation of causes and the process of the collapse of the WTCPara 8-15: People’s reactions to the collapse of the WTC and Proposals for rebuildingPara 16-18: People’s worries abou t other tall buildingsPara 19-24: a brief history of skyscrapers.Para 25-27: A prediction about the future of skyscrapers: people’s feelings may limit the size of skyscrapers in the future, since many of them worry about the safety of such buildings.Notes1. …the buildings held up well. (Paragraph 4) …the buildings stayed in a reasonably good condition after it was struck.2. …the towers imploded and fell down in their own space. (Paragraph 6) … the towers burst inward instead of outward and fell down in their own space.3. the Empire State Building (Paragraph 16) The Empire State Building is a 102-storey Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. It stood as the world’s tallest building for more than 40 years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the WorldTrade Center’s North Tower was completed in 1972. The Empire State Building was named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.4. the Sears Tower (Paragraph 21) Standing at 1,450 feet and 110 storeys high, Sears Tower is the tallest building in North America.

It is a 101-storey supertall skyscraper with multiple functions, located in the Lujiazui Financial District, Shanghai, China. Its foundation stone was laid on August 27, 1997. Because of fund shortage caused by the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, its construction was delayed, and was not completed until September 14, 2007, on which day the skyscraper was topped out at 492 meters. It is currently the world’s third tallest completed building by roof. On August 28, 2008, the SWFC officially opened for business. On August 30 the Observation Deck opened with a view from 3 levels. The highest view is at 474 meters above sea level.Questions for discussion1. What was special about the World Trade Center in New York2. What makes Americans feel uneasy about extremely tall buildings3. What do some experts think of skyscrapers now What’s your idea about skyscrapers4. How many ways of restoring the World Trade Centre arementioned in the passage Which of them do you think is the best one WhyKey:1. The World Trade Centre, a symbol of New York, was the tallest building in the city with more than 100 levels. Its sturdy structure was shown by the fact that it remained standing for a fairly long time after it was hit in the September 11 attacks. Besides, when it did fall down, it collapsed within its own space.2. The September 11 attacks make them worry about the safety of extremely tall buildings.3. Some think skyscrapers are only a waste of space; others do not think skyscrapers are a must any more, as modern technology enables employees to communicate easily without having to work in their headquarters in skyscrapers.4. Four ways of restoring the World Trade Center are mentioned in the text: 1. putting up a memorial called Towers of Light;2. rebuilding the Centre, but it’s unclear what the new one will be like;3. creating four shorter buildings of about 50levels with a memorial to victims of the attack in a park between these buildings; 4. rebuilding the World Trade Center as it was. On the other hand, however, some city planners believe that such tall structures should not be replaced at all. Instead, some experts advise copying other New York buildings that are not as tall. Personally I think the last alternative, . not replacing such skyscrapers at all, is the best choice, not only because it seems to be safer, but also because we are closer to our Mother Earth when we live and work in lower buildings.Memorable QuotesRead the following quotes and find out the meaning of life implicated by them.1.

BarryMichael Joseph Barry (1817 –1889) was an Irish poet, author, and political figure.Paraphrase: The most suitable way for man to die is to die for the mankind no matter he is sentenced to death on the scaffold or dies in the battlefield.2.
