2020最新新概念英语第二册课文注释Lesson31~33
新概念英语第二册课文注释Lesson31
1.Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. 在退休前，弗兰克是一家非常大的商业公司的经理，但他小时侯却在一家小铺里做工。
(1)head在此处的意思不是人或动物的“头部”，而是“首领”、“头目”，一般出现在“the head of +名词”结构中：
John is the head of the family.
约翰是一家之主。
Frank is the head of that firm.
弗兰克是那家公司的总裁。
(2) as在这里为介词，表不“当……时”，as a boy相当于 as he was a boy。
2.It was his job to repair bicycles…他那时的工作是修理自行车……
it为“先行主语”，句子的真正主语为to repair bicycles。
3.He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. 他靠多年积蓄，于1958年买下了自己的一个小铺子。
(1)for years表示“许多年”。
(2)of one's own为固定短语，表示“自己的”、“属于自己的”，own为代词：
He wanted a room of his own.
他想要一个自己的房间。
Do you have a house of your own?
你有自己的房子吗?
4.in one's twenties，(在某人)二十多岁的时候。
one's twenties/thirties/forties…，二十多岁/三十多岁/四十多岁……10的倍数的复数形式可用于表达近似的、非确定的数量，与所有格形容词(my等)连用时表示大约的年龄：
My aunt Jennifer is in her late thirties/early forties, but she often appears on the stage as a young girl.
我的姑妈詹妮弗已接近四十岁/四十出头，但她却常在舞台上扮演小姑娘。
5.Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. 弗兰克回想着他早年的艰难经历和走过的漫长的成功之路，微笑了。
(1)hard意思很多，在这里指“艰难的”、“困苦的”：
She lived a hard life in those years.
那些年她的生活很艰难。
(2)one's early years指某人的早年(生活)，意义相近的表达方式为early in one's life。
(3) the long road to success是一种比喻的说法，因为success是抽象名词。to在这里表示方向、目的地，意义为“朝”、“往”、“向”等，这个短语的字面意义为“通向成功的漫漫长路”。
新概念英语第二册课文注释Lesson32
1.People are not so honest as they once were. 人们不再像以前那样诚实了。
(1)“n ot so + 形容词+ as”引导的是比较状语从句，表示较低的程度，通常译为“不如……那样……”。(cf.本课语法)
(2)once表示“以前”、“曾经”时只能与动词的过去式连用：
He once worked at a large company.
他曾经在一家大公司工作过。
2.The temptation to steal is greater than ever before…偷窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候都更强烈……
(1)不定式 to steal为 temptation的定语，说明是什么样的诱惑。
to引导不定式和to作为介词的区别很大：
The temptation to smoke is strong for him.
对他来说吸烟有很强的诱惑力。(to smoke为不定式)
The cake on the table is a great temptation to the child.
桌上的蛋糕对那孩子是个极大的诱惑。(to the child为介词短语)
(2)ever用于表示比较的从句中时意义为“曾经”、“以往任何时候”。在这句话中，省略的成分比较多，与ever before相比的是隐含的时间now，从句中省略成分为 it was(在 ever之前)。大多数含有比较状语从句的句子都可以省略句中的成分。
3.on Monday mornings，在星期一上午。
morning用复数形式是表示经常性的情况，它前面有修饰词Monday，所以介词要用on。
4.One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. 有一个星期一，当这位妇女走进这家商场时，里面的人比往常少，因此，侦探比较容易监视她。
(1)one在此处表示“某一个”，不能用a 代替。
(2)这个句子较长，there were引导的是主句，when引导的是它的时间状语从句，so引导的是结果状语从句，在主句和结果状语从句中又分别隐含比较状语从句。在结果状语从句中，it为先行词，真正的主语是不定式短语for the detective to watch her。不定式短语往往较长，作主语时通常要用先行词it 作为形式主语：
It is easy for you to help me.
你帮助我是很容易的。
5.as quickly as possible，以最快的速度。
as…as possible为固定短语，表示“尽可能”：
He went home as soon as possible.
他尽快回了家。
I have sent you as many books as possible.
我已经把书尽可能多地给你送来了。
6.Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. 然后，那妇女拿过包就走出了商场，根本没有付钱。
simply表示“仅仅”、“只”，有加强语气的作用。连词and表示动作的连续，相当于 and then。withoug paying可以当成是整个句子的方式状语，即那妇女没有，……就……paying为动名词。
7.The girl‘gave’her mother a free dress once a week! 那姑娘每星期“送”她母亲一件免费的衣服!
(1) gave加引号，表示姑娘不是真正给，而是偷。
(2) free在这里的含义为“免费的”、“不要钱的”：
Children under five years old travel free.
5岁以下儿童免费旅行。
Tom gave me two free tickets.
汤姆给了我两张免费的票。
(3)“once a+ 表示时间的名词”可以表示频率：
He comes to the office once a day.
他每天来办公室一次。
Frank writes to his mother once a month.
弗兰克每个月给他母亲写一次信。
新概念英语第二册课文注释Lesson33
1.Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. 几乎过了一个星期，那姑娘才能讲述自己的遭遇。
(1) 这句话有两个从句。before一直到结尾是句子的时间状语从句。在这个从句中，explain又有自己的宾语从句，what为这个从句的主语。
(2) before在引导时间状语从句时，有时不一定译为“在……之前”，虽然表达的是这个意思，如文中的这句话。类似的情况有：
It will be months before he can come back.
要过好几个月他才能回来。
He ran off before his mother could stop him.
他母亲还没来得及阻止他，他就跑掉了。
2.One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. 一天下午，她乘小船从海岸出发，遇上了风暴。
(1) 我们已经学过 set out表示“出发”：
Captain Alison will set out at eight o'clock.
艾利森船长将于8点钟启航。
set out from表示“从……出发”。
(2) be caught in表示某人“(突然)遇到/上(风暴等)”：
He was caught in a heavy rain on the way home.
他在回家途中遇到了大雨。
3.Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. 她在海里游了整整一夜才游到岸边。
介词after的宾语是动名词spending及这个动名词的宾语、状语，这个结构在意义上等于 after she had spent the whole nightin the water。
4.During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. 在那段时间里，她游了8英里。
(1)that time指上句话中提到的the whole night。
(2)cover可以笼统地表示“行过(一段路程)”，根据上下文可具体译为“走过”、“飞过”、“游过”等：
The bird covered the distance in three minutes.
这只鸟用3分钟飞完了全程。
(3)表示具体的距离可以用“a distance of+ 具体长度”这个结构。
5.high up on the cliffs，在高高的峭壁上。
up为形容词，表示“在上面的”、“高高的”、“在较高处的”，high为副词，修饰up。
6.On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towardsthe light she had seen.
到达岸边后，姑娘朝着她看到的灯光方向挣扎着往峭壁上爬去。
(1)“on+ 动名词”相当于 as soon as或 when 引导的时间状语从句：
On reaching the airport, he was arrested by the police.
他一到机场就被警察逮捕了。
(2)she had seen为 the light的定语从句，关系代词 that/which省略了。
(3)up 在此处为介词，表示“沿着……往上”。
7.That was all she remembered. 她所记得的就是这些。
that指前面(从第2句话开始)描述的内容。she remembered为all 的定语从句，关系代词that(不能用which)被省略了。

Lesson1 We 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 as sagas--legends handed down from one generation of story-tellers 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.

Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话 Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me.

I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. ' It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'. Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐？ It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunch time. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy.' I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.' 'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said. 'What are you doing ?' she asked. ' I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.

新概念英语第一册Lesson75~76课文注释 1 like these 是介词短语作定语，修饰 shoes。意思是“像这样的鞋子”。 2 We don't have any. any 后面省略了black shoes。 3 ago放在表示时间长度的短语的后面，常与表示一般过去时的动词连用。如 a month ago(一个月之前)。 4 in fashion, 流行的，时髦的。 5 I'm afraid…我恐怕……。 新概念英语第一册Lesson77~78课文注释 1 Can't the dentist see me now? 这是情态动词的否定疑问句，表示请求。 2 a.m.,“上午”，p. m. 是指“下午”。10a.m.,上午10点，2p.m., 下午两点。 新概念英语第一册Lesson79~80课文注释 1 make a shopping list, 写一张采购物品的单子。 2 a lot of 当“许多”讲，既可用在可数名词前，又能用在不可数名词前，一般用于肯定句。 3 We haven't got any meat at all. 我们一点肉也没有了。 at all 这个词组用在否定句中，表示“丝毫”、“一点”、“根本”的意思，有强调作用。 have got 与have(“有”)同义。 4 many 和 much 均可译成“许多”，但用法不同： many 主要用于疑问句和否定句中，放在可数名词之前，如 many tomatoes; much 用于疑问句和否定句中，放在不可数名词之前，如 much tea, much money。 新概念英语第一册Lesson81~82课文注释

NEW CONCEPT ENGLISH (IV) (new version) 2 Lesson 1 Finding Fossil man We 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 w ay that they can preserve their history is torecount it as sagas--legends handed down from one generation of story-tellersto another. These legends are useful because they can tell us somethin g aboutmigrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesianpeoples now living in th e Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these peopleexplain that some of them came from Indo nesia about 2,000 years ago.But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that ev en theirsagas, 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 me n made tools of stone, especially flint, becausethis is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used woodand skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tool s oflong ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace. 3 Lesson 2 Spare that spider Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends ? Because they destroy somany insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the humanrace. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they woulddevour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, if it were not for the protectionwe get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beasts wh o eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the other insect eaters, spiders never dothe least harm to us or our bel ongings.Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them.One can t ell the difference almost at a glance for a spider always has eight legsand an insect never more th an six.How many spiders are engaged in this work on our behalf ? One authority on spiders made a census of the spiders in a grass field in the south of England, andhe estimated that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre, that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a f ootball pitch. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content wi th only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by spi ders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all the human beings in the c ountry.T. H.

My coat and my umbrella please.请把我的大衣和伞伞给我。 这是一个省略形式的祈使句，完整的句子应为: Give me my coat and my umbrella，please. 口语中，在语境明确的情况下通常可省略动词和间接宾语，如: (Show me your)Ticket，please. 请出示你的票。 (Show me your)Passport，please. 请出示您的护照。 2.Here's your umbrella and your coat. 这是您的伞和大衣。 Here's 是 Here is的缩略形式。全句原为：Here is your umbrella and your coat.缩略形式和非缩略形式在英语的书面用语和口语中均有，但非缩略形式常用于比较正式的场合。Here's…是一种习惯用法，句中采用了倒装句式，即系动词提到了主语之前。又如 Here is my ticket 这句话用正常的语序时为 My ticket is here。 3.Sorry=I'm sorry。 这是口语中的缩略形式，通常在社交场合中用于表示对他人的歉意或某种程度的遗憾。 Sorry 和 Excuse me 虽在汉语中都可作"对不起"讲，但 sorry 常用于对自己所犯过失表示道歉，而 Excuse me 则多为表示轻微歉意的客套语。

Lesson40 【课文】 First listen and then answer the following question. 听录音，然后回答以下问题。 What false impression does an ocean wave convey to the observer? Waves are the children of the struggle between ocean and atmosphere, the ongoing signatures of infinity. Rays from the sun excite and energize the atmosphere of the earth, awakening it to flow, to movement, to rhythm, to life. The wind then speaks the message of the sun to the sea and the sea transmits it on through waves -- an ancient, exquisite, powerful message. These ocean waves are among the earth”s most complicated natural phenomena. The basic features include a crest (the highest point of the wave), a trough (the lowest point), a height (the vertical distance from the trough

新概念英语第四册第二十单元课文原文 Lesson 20 Snake poison 蛇毒How it came about that snakes manufactured poison is a mystery. Over the periods their saliva, a mild, digestive juice like our own, was converted into a poison that defies analysis even today. It was not forced upon them by the survival competition; they could have caught and lived on prey without using poison just as the thousands of non-poisonous snakes still do. Poison to a snake is merely a luxury; it enables it to get its food with very little effort, no more effort than one bite. And why only snakes ? Cats, for instance, would be greatly helped; no running rights with large, fierce rats or tussles with grown rabbits just a bite and no more effort needed. In fact it would be an assistance to all the carnivorae--though it would be a two-edged weapon -When they fought each other. But, of the vertebrates, unpredictable Nature selected only snakes (and one lizard). One wonders also why Nature, with some snakes concocted poison of such extreme potency. In the conversion of saliva into poison one might suppose that a fixed process took place. It did not; some

新概念英语第四册课文：Lesson4
新概念英语第四册课文：Lesson4 【课文】 First listen and then answer the following question. 听录音，然后回答以下问题。 How did Vera discover she had this gift of second sight? Several cases have been reported in Russia recently of people who can read and detect colours with their fingers, and even see through solid doors and walls. One case concerns an eleven-year-old schoolgirl, Vera Petrova, who has normal vision but who can also perceive things with different parts of her skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her father why he kept so many old newspapers locked away there, and even described the way they were done up in bundles. Vera's curious talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute in the town of Ulyanovsk, near where she lives, and in April she was given a series of tests by a special commission of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federal Republic. During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and, stranger still, by moving her elbow over a child's game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colours printed on it; and, in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colours of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and
新概念英语第一册Lesson55~64课文注释

1 Do you want the large size or the small size? 这句话是选择疑问句，逗号前的size读升调，后者读降调。 2 I only have large ones. 句中的ones指pads。 3 What else do you want? 您还要什么吗?其中的What else…? 可以看作是表示疑问的一个短语，意思是：“还有什么吗?” 新概念英语第一册Lesson61~62课文注释 1 What’s the matter with him? 他怎么啦? What’s the matter with…? 常用来询问人或事物的状况，常作“是否有问题?”“是否有麻烦”讲。 2 feel ill,觉得病了，feel是系动词，ill是表语。注意feel ill和look ill在意思上的区别;前者指自我感觉，后者指外表形象。 3 It’s 09754. 其中It’s指“电话号码是”。 4 have a bad cold, 得了重感冒。 5 That’s good news中的news是不可数名词，不是复数形式。 6 Good news? 是省略句，完整的句子应为Is it good news? 新概念英语第一册Lesson63~64课文注释 1 He’s better. 在英文中，如果将一个人或物等与另一个人或物等进行
新概念英语第四册课文翻译：Lesson9
新概念英语第四册课文翻译：Lesson9【课文】 Alfred the Great acted as his own spy, visiting Danish camps disguised as a minstrel. In those days wandering minstrels were welcome everywhere. They were not fighting men, and their harp was their passport. Alfred had learned many of their ballads in his youth, and could vary his programme with acrobatic tricks and simple conjuring. While Alfred's little army slowly began to gather at Athelney, the king himself set out to penetrate the camp of Guthrum, the commander of the Danish invaders. These had settled down for the winter at Chippenham： thither Alfred went. He noticed at once that discipline was slack： the Danes had the self-confidence of conquerors, and their security precautions were casual. They lived well, on the proceeds of raids on neighbouring regions. There they collected women as well as food and drink, and a life of ease had made them soft. Alfred stayed in the camp a week before he returned to Athelney. The force there assembled was trivial compared with the Danish horde. But Alfred had deduced that the Danes were no longer fit for prolonged battle： and that their commissariat had no organization, but depended on irregular raids. So, faced with the Danish advance, Alfred did not risk open battle but harried the enemy. He was constantly on the move, drawing the Danes after him. His patrols halted the raiding parties： hunger assailed the Danish army. Now Alfred

Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesianpeoples now living in th e Pacific Islands came from.The sagas of these peopleexplain that some of them came from Indo nesia about2,000years ago.But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that ev en theirsagas,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 me n made tools of stone,especially flint,becausethis is easier to shape than other kinds.They may also have used woodand skins,but these have rotted away.Stone does not decay,and so the tool s oflong ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace. 3 Lesson2Spare that spider Why,you may wonder,should spiders be our friends?Because they destroy somany insects,and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the humanrace.Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world;they woulddevour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds,if it were not for the protectionwe get from insect-eating animals.We owe a lot to the birds and beasts wh o eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover,unlike some of the other insect eaters,spiders never dothe least harm to us or our bel ongings.Spiders are not insects,as many people think,nor even nearly related to them.One can t ell the difference almost at a glance for a spider always has eight legsand an insect never more th an six.How many spiders are engaged in this work on our behalf?One authority on spiders made a census of the spiders in a grass field in the south of England,andhe estimated that there were more than2,250,000in one acre,that is something like6,000,000spiders of different kinds on a f ootball pitch.Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects.It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill,but they are hungry creatures,not content wi th only three meals a day.It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by spi ders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all the human beings in the c ountry.T.H.GILLESPIE Spare that Spider from The Listene Lesson3Matterhorn man Modern alpinists try to climb mountains by a route which will give them goodsport,and the more
