四六级阅读占考试的比重很大,很多考友也为阅读烦恼不已,该怎么办呢?两个字:多看!


所以,从今天开始,每天会节选一些文章和大家一起阅读。


接下来,我们继昨天的“十遍阅读法”之二:第二遍阅读-总结形容词与名词的搭配
在英语学习中,最有效的语言单位不是单词,而是由单词搭配而构成的词组、短语。学习者之所以往往感到大量掌握单词之后仍然在口语和书面表达中不会灵活使用,根本原因就在于学习时忽略了词语之间内在的伙伴关系,没有掌握单词的具体用法。英语词语之间的搭配潜力无穷、灵活多变,只有留意观察,才能确实掌握,才能达到灵活运用的境界。(可以拿上几期节目小试一下哦!)


Picasso and the poet Max Jacob, down but not out in Paris, shared a bed in turn. Jacob slept at night while Picasso worked, and Picasso slept by day when Jacob worked as a novelty-shop clerk. On arising in the morning, Jacob often would have to walk on a floor carpeted with drawings. Later, Jacob's footprints had to be removed by art experts.


Albert Einstein, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921, was honored 1 not for his famous theory of relativity 2 published sixteen years earlier, but for his lesser-known work on the photoelectric 3 effect.




参考译文:
毕加索和诗人雅科布在巴黎近郊轮流睡一张床。晚上雅科布睡觉,毕加索工作;白天毕加索睡觉,雅科布在一家玩具饰物商店当职员。雅科布早上起床时常常不得不走过铺满图画的房间。后来不得不请美术专家除掉雅科布留在一幅幅画上的脚印。


艾伯特•爱因斯坦于1921年被授予诺贝尔物理奖,但不是为了奖励他16年前发表的著名的相对论,而是为了不太为人所知的光电效应。


本期总结:


遇到问题最多的短语:down but not out in Paris 首先,这个可不是词组,关键在于down的解释,down有一个意思为:away from an important place, esp a large city离开重要的地方(尤指大城市),Paris 可是世界之都哦,此句意为:他们离开巴黎市中心但是未搬出巴黎。再看一个词novelty-shop,很多朋友把它解释为:新奇的商店,因为novelty有新奇、新颖之意,但它还有一个意思:(廉价的)小玩具、小饰品等,所以这个词是“玩具饰物店”的意思。第三个问题是:Later, Jacob's footprints had to be removed by art experts.可能翻出来自己也会觉得怪怪的吧,这句话要和前面那句先联系起来,Jacob often would have to walk on a floor carpeted with drawings.这里的carpet作动词解,用carpeted with drawings来形容floor,地板是铺满画纸的地板,这句话理解了,后面那句话就容易了,因为画纸上满是脚印,所以不得不请艺术专家来去除这些脚印,later意为“后来”,不是“不久”的意思哦。这篇故事虽然短小,但有不少玄机在里面吧(苹果窃笑一下。)后面那则故事没啥问题,大家都容易理解,但里面有两个专业术语可以注意一下:theory of relativity 和photoelectric effect。



接下来说一个个人想法,不少朋友做了整篇翻译,这样的做法不太赞同,因为我们学英语不是为了翻译用的,而是要用英语,用英语去思维,用英语去表达,所以对于你能理解的句子就不必翻译啦,对于难句长句,可以选择性的翻译一下,这样也可以检验自己是不是真的理解--此条仅供参考。



adj.光荣的:荣幸的v.尊敬,给以荣誉( honor的过去式和过去分词 )
  • I hope to be honored with further orders. 如蒙惠顾,不胜荣幸。 来自《简明英汉词典》
  • This is a time-honored custom. 这是一个古老的习俗。 来自《简明英汉词典》
n.爱因斯坦的相对论;相关性,相对性
  • Finally they accepted Einstein's relativity.他们终于接受了爱因斯坦的相对论。
  • There is no relativity between the two matters.这两件事毫无关系。
adj.光电的,光电效应的
  • Photoelectric spectrophotometers give better result.用光电分光光度计能得到较佳结果。
  • Einstein also explained a baffling feature of the photoelectric effect.爱因斯坦也解释了光电效应里一个令人困扰的现象。
