牛津译林 模块六第二单元 M6U2 Reading

Everyone who saw her, from nurses to famous visitors like Leonardo DiCaprio from the film Titanic, who went to see her in the hospital to cheer her up, all said she was in good spirits. (P19)
通过略读把握文章大意
略读(skimming)只看文章标题、下 标题以及每个部分或者段落第一行，关 注文章中反复出现的关键词。 略读时，要用充足的时间读懂段落 的第一句和第二句，因为第一句往往是 该段的主题句(topic sentence)，而第二 句往往是对前句的延伸(extension)或进 一步的解释(explanation)。

More information about the Reading.
Before accident
• being successful in her sport when she was young • being described as energetic, happy and hard-working • working towards something special • trying to make her parents proud
…how people can find happiness even during times of a personal catastrophe. (P18) 句中times (复数形式)表示“时代，时期”。 如：in ancient times 在古代 in modern times 在现代 times也指某一时期的生活状况、环境等。 eg. Times are hard for Susan. She lost her job two weeks ago. 苏珊的日子很难熬。她两周前失业了。
Back to China
• studying at Peking University with a degree in broadcasting • hosting a sports programme about the 2008 Beijing Olympics • advocating better treatment for disabled people • staying optimistic • believing that keeping busy helps her stay positive
(1) 本句为复合句；句中第一个who引导限 制性定语从句，先行词为everyone；第 二个who引导非限制性定语从句，先行 词为Leonardo。all是everyone的同位 语，即当二者所指内容相同，句法功 能相同时，后者为前者的同位语。如： eg. Mr He, our new teacher, comes in.
通过扫读寻找特定信息或特定词组 运用扫读(scanning)迅速浏览从第三句 开始的后面部分,搜寻作者对开头两句的支 持句(supporting sentences),并同时注意文章 中间是否有转折词(transition),因为这些词 常常会把文章的思路逆转或加入其它重要的 信息。当读到段落的最后一句时,我们又要 使用略读,这时必须再次放慢速度(slow down your pace)直到完全消化作者对段落 的小结(conclusion),因为该小结有可能与主 题句截然相反或引导读者进入下一个段落。
1) 在……情况下，万 一……的话 in case-clause (P18) 2) 以防，免得 万一我忘记，请提醒我。 In case I forget, please remind me. 带张地图以防迷路。 Bring a map in case you get lost.
in case of 防备,假如,如果发生 万一下雨，他们就不能去了。 In case of rain, they can't go.
句中could have done表示过去可能发生的 事情，而实际上并未发生。如： What’s wrong with you? You could have done it much better. 你怎么了？你应该做到更好啊。 动词cost后可接双宾语，表示“使……付 出代价”。 如： His rude behaviour cost him his job. 他的粗鲁行为让他付出了失业的代价。
(2)句中spirits 为复数形式，意思为“精神状 态，情绪，心境”。经常用于以下短语 中： in good/low spirits 心情好/不好 in high spirits 情绪高涨 keep sb’s spirits up 使某人保持心情开朗 raise/lift sb’s spirits 鼓舞某人情绪 sb’s spirits lift/sink 某人高兴起来/变得不高兴
