We should not invariably follow the social conventions, because if a person is being too conventional, he or she might be too conservative and one may lose his individuality.And the text also tells us there are true eccentrics who never deliberately draw attention to themselves, then there must be false eccentrics who will try their best to draw attentions.(虚假怪人,也可能就是哗众取宠的人吧。)III.Summary-writing points 1.Caught in heavy shower-walked into expensive shop 2.₤300 watch for wife-bedraggled-assistant refused 3.Left shop-returned-heavy cloth bag-dumped on summer 4.Asked for manager-given watch-gave bag-₤300 on pennies.5.Assistant had to count Summary

篇3:新概念英语第三册第22课:By heart

一、“新三”向我们传达了地道的英语思维模式

语言是思维的一种体现,从整体上把握西方人的思维方式,用英语去思考,是写出地道英语论文的关键所在。“新三”很好地传达了这一点,向我们揭示了英语思维的“至高无上的秘诀”。

在第3课《无名女神》(An Unknown Goddess)中有这样一段描写:“The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization.Houses-often three storeys highwere built of stone.They had large rooms with beautifuly decorated walls.The city was even equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.”这一段总共四句话。第一句话讲这座城市曾经很繁华,享有高度文明。第二句讲房子,房子有三层楼高,还是石头造的。第三句讲房间,房间很大,墙壁装饰很华丽。第四句讲城市甚至还有排水系统。我们分析一下不难发现,其实第一句话就是作者要表达的中心意思:城市很繁华。后三句不过是从三个不同角度(房子、房间、排水系统)来论证作者要表达的中心意思(为什么作者可以断定这座古城曾经一度很繁华)。到这里,英语思维“至高无上的秘诀”就已经完全揭示了:中文和英文在思维上存在巨大的差异,所以表达上也存在巨大的差异;中文表达遵循的是偏正结构,而英文表达却是开门见山的,总是把最重要的中心先说出来;更通俗一点来讲,中文的习惯表达方式是“因为……所以……”,而英文的表达习惯一般是“之所以……是因为……”。

按照北美大学的要求,学生论文(essay)除了开头段和结尾段之外,一般要有三段正文,从三个不同的角度去支持命题(thesis)。如果能够深刻领悟“新三”的“良苦用心”,掌握英语的思维模式,我们完全可以把每段的正文格式固定下来,就是主旨句(topic sentence)加上支持性细节(supporting details)。主旨句表达全段的中心思想。支持性细节是支持主旨句的事例、细节、理由等,目的是帮助读者充分理解作者在主旨句中所表达的含义。这一格式完全符合西方人的思维模式。

我们不妨再来欣赏一段文字,这是由ETS提供的、他们非常肯定的“外国学生的优秀作文”。事实上这段文字就严格遵循了我们刚才提到的格式,和“新三”的课文实在有异曲同工之妙:“Parents are the best teachers of their children.They teach their children to utter sounds when they are babies.They coach them hand in hand for walking.When their children begin formal education, parents tutor them in their homework.Apart from this, parents direct their children’s moral;they instruct and show their children what is right and what is wrong, which is not effectivelytaught at school.”很显然,主旨句加上实例支持,不仅使结构清晰明了,更使读者读来倍觉有趣,产生认同感,完全符合西方人的表达习惯。

二、“新三”向我们展示了论证的严密性和逻辑性

对于这一点,我们不妨还是用一个实例来证明。

“住在乡村好还是住在城市好”是大学非常熟悉的、也是饶有趣味的一个话题。“新三”的第41课讨论的正是这个话题,叫“宁静田园生活的遐想”(Illusions of Pastoral peace)。文章开篇作者直抒胸臆,说“宁静的乡村生活从来没有吸引过我”(The puiet life of the country has never appealed to me.)。然而,作者没有就这个观点马上展开论证,而是先肯定一个事实:“我的许多朋友都住在城市,但他们只要一提起乡村,马上就会变得欣喜若狂”(Most of my friends live in the city, yetthey always go into raptures at the mere mention of the coun-try.)。接下来作者就站在这部分人的角度,描述了住在乡村的好处:“友好的农民,洁净的空气,贴近大自然的环境和悠闲的生活节奏”(the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living),当然,还有乡村无与伦比的美景———“凌晨雄鸡的第一声啼叫,黎明时分小鸟的叽喳欢歌,冉冉升起的朝阳给树木和牧草镀上了一层金光”(the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures)。正当读者跟随作者一起陶醉在乡村生活中的时候,出人意料地,作者很尖锐地提出了乡村生活若干致命的不足:第一,缺乏娱乐,只有“在电视机前度过漫长寂寞的冬夜”(the long and friendless winter evenings in front of the TV———virtually the only form of entertainment)。第二,“商店货物品种单调”(the poor selection of goods in the shops)。第三,为了赶往城里上班,住在乡村的人必须“每天在路上奔波四个小时”(people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work...a four-hour journey each day)。读到这里,显然,“一语惊醒梦中人”,乡下生活那一点点乐趣已被无情地摧毁了。所以作者话锋一转,指出,“城市可以为你提供生活中最美好的东西”(...you will find the city can provide you with the best that life can offer.):首先,朋友都住在附近,“你去看朋友不用跋涉好几英里”(You never have to travel miles to see you friends.)。其次,文化生活丰富,“坐公共汽车几站路,就可以看到最新的展览,电影,戏剧”(The latest exhibitions, films or plays are only a short bus ride away.)。再者,不容质疑,城里的物品品种繁多,“从来不必用二等品来凑合”(There is so much variety that you never have to make do with second best.)。还有一点,乡村虽有风光,“城市也并非没有良辰美景”(Nor is the city without its moments of beauty.),“寒冷潮湿的冬夜里广告灯箱发出的暖光”(the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights),“周末空旷街市笼罩着的宁静气氛”(the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends),都使城市更加地旖旎多姿。

现在,我们来仔细梳理一下作者的写作思路,总共有六个步骤。第一步,作者提出自己的论点:城市生活好。第二步,作者提出对方的论点:乡村生活好。第三步,作者摆出对方的论据:友善的农民、清洁的空气、贴近大自然、缓慢的生活节奏、美景等。第四步,作者驳斥对方的论据:缺乏娱乐生活,购物不便,住在乡村到城里上班花费时间长。第五步,作者摆出自己的论据:朋友、精神生活、商品丰富、美景等。第六步,作者最后再次提出:相比较而言,还是城市生活好。六个步骤完成了无懈可击的论证。

事实上,我们完全可以把这篇文章的精彩论证思路应用在我们的托福论文写作上。比如,在ETS的独立写作(Independent Writing)部分的官方题库中(总共有185个题目),第107个是论证:“高等教育应该面向全体学生,还是仅面向好学生?”题目为:“Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students;others believe that higher education should be available only to good students.Discuss these views and explain the one you agree with.”如果我们感到没有思路,无从下手,完全可以模仿“新三”这篇文章的思路。

具体设计如下:

(a)开头(Introductory Paragraph)

开场白先提出涉及的问题(issue),然后摆出两种不同的观点,道明文章将在某一共同点上探讨两者(These two viewsare based on different beliefs.)。

(b)正文(Body Paragraph)

正文第一段论述两者中的一方,最好是作者准备舍弃的一方如:Higher education should be limited to only good students.首先摆出产生这一观点的原由,如:could save the government’s fund on education,然后指出其不足之处,为作者自己选择第二者埋下伏笔,如:These high school graduates, especially the socalled bad students, since they are refused by colleges or universities, have nothing to do and would easily from gangs strolling in the streets.正文第二段论述第二方,最好是作者准备选择的一方,如:a college or university education should be available to all students。在说明这一方的产生原因之后,作些肯定性的评价,再次为作者的选择埋下伏笔,如,Every student should have the equal right to have education./When mass students have university education year afer year, the education level of the whole society will finally get promoted, resulting in a better quality of the nation.

(c)结尾段(Concluding Paragraph)

以作者身份作出自己的抉择并说明理由:Apparently, opening university doors to all students benefits the society and the whole nation rather than individual students;therefore, it is a better choice for us to take.

类似的例子可谓“比比皆是”,在这就不多举了。

三、“新三”让我们领略到文字的迷人魅力

托福写作的评分标准中非常重要的一项是遣词造句能力(word choices and sentence variety)。如何做到用词准确和句型丰富呢?学习“新三”,可以接触到正式化的英语,体会到语言的灵动多变,领略到文字本身的美。

比如,说到“走”和“看”,很多中国学生能写出来的只有“walk”和“see”,一篇文章之中反复使用,非常苍白。但在“新三”中我们可以学到一些更有表现力,极富感情力的词,比如,“走”有stroll, pace, tread, plod, stride, slog, lumber;“看”有gaze, gape, gawp, glance, glimpse, stare, peep, peek等多种表达,什么时候该用哪个词,怎样运用能为写作增添色彩,在“新三”中都有生动详细的说明。正如:They strolled together beneath the summer moon.(他们在夏夜的月光下散步。)岂不比僵硬的“They walked together beneath the summer moon.”浪漫,有情调得多?

“新三”中的经典句型更可谓是数不胜数, 短句韵律顿挫, 长句华美旖旎。更有人形容说, “短句如关西大汉, 持板唱铮铮秦腔;长句如江南佳丽, 素手弄丝竹管”。比如上面提到的41课“Illusions of Pastoral Peace”, 除了论证结构严密紧凑之外, 还向我们展现了一个美妙的语言世界。像“Nothing can be compared, he maintains, with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures.”简直是天籁之句:“Nor is the city without its monents of beauty.”更是在一个短短的句子中包含了我们中学生很不擅长的倒装、双重否定等修辞手法。这样的例子比比皆是, 信手拈来。当然, 单纯的欣赏是不够的, 具有实用性和可模仿至关重要。第4课“The Double Life of Alfred Bloggs” (阿尔弗雷德-布洛格斯的双重生活) 中有这样一个句子, “Such is human nature, that’s a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workes.”, 熟练掌握之后要表达“此乃人之常情”就一点不费力了, 就是“Such is human nature that...”。遇到要写“情况是……”的时候也只要稍微举一反三, 套用这个句型, 写成“Such is human nature, that...”, 虽然简单但却很地道, 效果出乎意料。再如, 第33课“难忘的一天” (A Day to Remember) 第一句就是:We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong.这个句式或写人, 或状物, 或绘景, 或抒怀, 无一不可。比如遇到比较无奈的环保话题, 我们不必光板起面孔说道理, 不如换个角度:We have all experienced days when birds were singing, but today theyrefuse to sing any more.不是很生动很贴切吗?

除了单词、句子之外, “新三”中更有一些值得背诵学习的句群。比如, 第七课“残钞鉴别组” (Mutilated Ladies) , 文章开篇连用三个问句:“Has it ever happened to you?Have you ever put your trousers in the washing maching and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket?When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white?”用问句开篇能吸引读者的兴趣, 自然过渡要论述的话题, 是一种很有效的开头段的方法。托福考试中也有“乡村和城市”这个话题, 有个学生就这样来开篇:“Have you ever been late for school or work due to the heavy traffic jams?Have you ever noticed that the atmosphere in cities is getting worse and worse?Fortunately, people living in the countryside do not need to worry about sunch problems...”虽然这段文字还很幼稚, 却使这个学生的文章在千篇一律的模板作文中脱颖而出, 让考官眼前一亮。

事实上,国外的名校都非常重视学生的写作能力,所以对托福考试作文的要求也在提高。在备考的过程当中,学生要摈弃那些临时抱佛脚的功利做法,静下心来玩味、背诵“新三”中的好篇章,利用这本经典的教材全面提高写作能力,真正地去迎战托福作文。

篇5:新概念英语第三册第22课:By heart

One of the most famous sailing ships of the nineteenth century, the Cutty Sark, can still be seen at Greenwich. She stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of people each year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of the past. Before they were replaced by steamships, sailing vessels like the Cutty Sark were used to carry tea from China and wool from Australia. The Cutty Sark was one of the fastest sailing ships that has ever been built. The only other ship to match her was the Thermopylae. Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 on an exciting race to England. This race, which went on for exactly four months, was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new era.

The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but on the Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took the lead. It seemed certain that she would be the first ship home, but during the race she had a lot of bad luck. In August, she was struck by a very heavy storm during which her rudder was torn away. The Cutty Sark rolled from side to side and it became impossible to steer her. A temporary rudder was made on board from spare planks and it was fitted with great difficulty. This greatly reduced the speed of the ship, for there was a danger that if she traveled too quickly, this rudder would be torn away as well. Because of this, the Cutty Sark lost her lead. After crossing the Equator, the captain called in at a port to have a new rudder fitted, but by now the Thermopylae was over five hundred miles ahead. Though the new rudder was fitted at tremendous speed, it was impossible for the Cutty Sark to win. She arrived in England a week after the Thermopylae. Even this was remarkable, considering that she had had so many delays. There is no doubt that if she had not lost her rudder she would have won the race easily.

【课文翻译】

人们在格林威治仍可看到19世纪最有名的帆船之一“卡蒂萨克”号。它停在陆地上,每年接待成千上万的参观者。它给人们留下深刻的印象,使人们回忆起历的巨型帆船,在蒸汽船取代帆船之前。“卡蒂萨克”号之类的帆船被用来从中国运回茶叶,从澳大利亚运回羊毛。 “卡蒂萨克”号是帆船制造建造的最快的一艘帆船。可以与之一比高低的是“塞姆皮雷”号帆船。

两船于1872年 6月18日同时从上海启航驶往英国,途中展开了一场激烈的比赛。这场比赛持续了整整4个月,是这类比赛中的最后一次,它标志着帆船伟大传统的结束与一个新纪元的开始。比赛开始后,“赛姆皮雷”号率先抵达爪哇岛。但在印度洋上,“卡萨萨克”号驶到了前面。看来,它首先返抵英国是确信无疑的了,但它却在比赛中连遭厄运。8月份“卡蒂萨克”号遭到一场特大风暴的袭击,失去了一只舵。船身左右摇晃,无法操纵。船员用备用的木板在船上赶制了一只应急用的舵,并克服重重困难将舵安装就位,这样一来,大大降低了船的航速。因为船不能开得太快,否则就有危险,应急舵也会被刮走。因为这个缘故,“卡蒂萨克”号落到了后面。跨越赤道后,船长将船停靠在一个港口,在那儿换了一只舵。但此时,“赛姆皮雷”号早已在500多英里之遥了。尽管换装新舵时分秒必争,但“卡蒂萨克”号已经不可能取胜了,它抵达英国时比 “塞姆皮雷”号晚了1个星期。但考虑到路上的多次耽搁,这个成绩也已很不容易了。毫无疑问,如果中途没有失去舵,“卡帝萨克 ”号肯定能在比赛中轻易夺冠。
