But one night he working late at the Scanlon-Taylor mill, lugging two-by-fours to the truck, 1splinters slicing all the way through the glove.He too small for that kind a work, too skinny, but he needed the job.He was tired.It was raining.He slip off the loading dock, fell down on the drive.Tractor trailer didn't see him and crushed his lungs fore he could move.By the time I found out, he was dead.一天晚上,他在斯坎伦-泰勒轧机厂干到很晚,拖着的木料往货车上装,木刺划破手套,扎得满手都是。他太瘦,个头又小,干不了那重活儿,可他需要那份工作。他累得支撑不住,天又下雨,他滑倒了,从装卸月台上摔下来,一头栽进车道。拖车司机没瞧见他,他还没来得及挪身,车就从他身上碾过去了。等我找到他的时候,他已经断气了。
That was the day my whole world went black.Air look black, sun look black.I laid up in bed and stared at the black walls a my house.Minny came ever day to make sure I was still breathing, feed me food to keep me living.Took three months fore I even look out the window, see the world still there.I was surprise to see the world didn't stop just cause my boy did.从那天起,我整个世界都黑了。空气是黑的,太阳是黑的。我躺在床上直愣愣地盯着屋里黑的墙壁。明尼每天都来看我,以确保我还有气息,她喂我进食,让我残喘地活下去。整整三个月后,我才抬眼看窗户外头,看外头的世界是否照旧。我惶惑地发现整个世界竟然没有因为我儿子的死停下半分。
Five months after the funeral, I lifted myself up out a bed.I put on my white uniform and put my little gold cross back around my neck and I went to wait on Miss Leefolt cause she just have her baby girl.But it weren't too long before I seen something in me had changed.A bitter seed was planted inside a me.And I just didn't feel so accepting anymore.葬礼之后又过了五个月,我起身下床。我穿上白色制服,又把小小的金十字架戴回脖子上,随后前去服侍李弗特小姐,她刚生下个女娃。但没过多久我便发现我的心已不复从前。苦涩的种子在我体内悄然埋下,我不再那么容易敞开胸怀了。
“GET THE HOUSE straightened up and then go on and fix some of that chicken salad now,” say Miss Leefolt.“把屋子规整规整,再去把鸡肉沙拉准备好。”李弗特太太呼喝着。
It's bridge club day.Every fourth Wednesday a the month.A course I already got everthing ready to go—made the chicken salad this morning, ironed the tablecloths yesterday.Miss Leefolt seen me at it too.She ain't but twenty-three years old and she like hearing herself tell me what to do.每个月的第四个礼拜三是她们的桥牌聚会日。我已经将里里外外拾掇停当——一大早做好了鸡肉沙拉,桌布也在昨天熨烫平整。李弗特太太亲眼瞧着我做完这些。她不过才二十三岁,却很喜欢对我指手画脚,差使我做这干那。
She already got the blue dress on I ironed this morning, the one with sixty-five pleats on the waist, so tiny I got to squint through my glasses to iron.I don't hate much in life, but me and that dress is not on good terms.她已经把我今早熨好的蓝裙子穿上了,那条在腰上密匝匝打了六十五个小褶的裙子,我得戴起眼镜眯上眼才能把那些绿豆大的褶给烫准了。我对家常日子没啥抱怨的,可我和那条裙子实在处不到一块儿去。
“And you make sure Mae Mobley's not coming in on us, now.I tell you, I am so burned up at her—tore up my good stationery into five thousand pieces and I've got fifteen thank-you notes
for the Junior League to do…”“还有,你要管住梅·莫布利,别让她来烦我们。我告诉你吧,她可是把我惹火了,她把我好端端的信纸撕个粉碎,我可还有十五封青年联盟会的感谢信要写呐……”
I arrange the-this and the-that for her lady friends.Set out the good crystal, put the silver service out.Miss Leefolt don't put up no dinky card table like the other ladies do.We sat at the dining room table.Put a cloth on top to cover the big L-shaped crack, move that red flower centerpiece to the sideboard to hide where the wood all scratched.Miss Leefolt, she like it fancy when she do a luncheon.Maybe she trying to make up for her house being small.They ain't rich folk, that I know.Rich folk don't try so hard.我还在忙着为她的那些太太小姐们准备这个支应那个。我搬出花哨的玻璃杯盏,摆上银质刀叉。李弗特太太没能像其他阔太太那样添置上一张小巧精致的牌桌,我们只得坐在餐桌前打牌。我们在桌上铺上桌布遮住L型的裂隙,又把红色镂花桌饰挪到橱柜那儿,好挡住坑坑洼洼剥落掉渣的木柜。李弗特太太大概想弥补屋子狭小的不足,着意把餐会拾掇得富贵体面。我知道他们不太富裕,富庶人家可不会这么费劲。
I'm used to working for young couples, but I spec this is the smallest house I ever worked in.It's just the one story.Her and Mister Leefolt's room in the back be a fair size, but Baby Girl's room be tiny.The dining room and the regular living room kind a join up.Only two bathrooms, which is a relief cause I worked in houses where they was five or six.Take a whole day just to clean toilets.Miss Leefolt don't pay but ninety-five cents an hour, less than I been paid in years.But after Treelore died, I took what I could.Landlord wasn't gonna wait much longer.And even though it's small, Miss Leefolt done the house up nice as she can.She pretty good with the sewing machine.Anything she can't buy new of, she just get her some blue material and sew it a cover.我过去常帮年轻夫妇操持家务,可我揣度着这家是我见过门户最小的人家。整套房子上下不过一层,她和李弗特先生的后屋尚且宽敞,可是梅的房间小得立不住脚。餐厅连着起居室混作一处。他们只有两个卫生间,这倒为我省下不少事,我从前碰上的人家通常都有五六间,光为他们清理厕所就得花上我整整一天。李弗特太太每个钟点只付我九十五美分,我早不止这个价了,但打崔劳死后,我也顾不上挑肥拣瘦,我已经拖欠不起房租了。尽管屋子小得转不开身,可李弗特太太还是费心尽力把它装点得光鲜体面。她很擅长缝连补缀,一旦买不起新家什,她便扯些蓝布头,自裁自缝出个布套子把旧家什装扮上。
第三篇:高中英语 轻松阅读 英语五种基本句型详解及针对练习素材
英语五种基本句型详解及针对练习
句子由主语和谓语两大部分组成。主语结构比较单一,谓语结构则不然,不同类别的谓语动词导致不同的谓语结构,从而形成了不同的句型(Sentence Pattern)。换句话说,不同的句型是由不同类别的谓语动词所决定的,因此,句型又被称为动词句型(Verb Pattern)。语法家们对句型的分类不尽相同,一般认为,现代英语的基本句型主要有五种:
1.“主----系-----表”(SLP)句型:
在这种句型中,谓语动词是以be为主的连系动词(Linking Verb),后面跟主语补语(Subject Complement),如:
These oranges have kept fresh.这些桔子一直很新鲜。
Mary is a student / here /in the room.玛丽是个学生/在这儿/在房间里。
有的语法家把be后面的副词(短语)或介词短语视为状语,从而形成了“主----动-----状”(SVA)这一在五种基本句型之外的句型(见上面最后一个例句)。
2.“主----动”(SV)句型:在这种句型中,谓语动词为不及物动词(Intransitive Verb),谓语部分通常只包括限定动词,即使有状语,也属任意性状语,即:去掉后并不影响句子结构和意义的完整,如:This bread won’t keep(for a long time).这种面包不好(长期)存放。
Tom has left.前面说过,有些句子中的状语是不可缺少的,这种状语被称为必具性状语,从而构成“主----动----状”(SVA)句型,但这仅限于少数几个动词的某些用法,因而不是一种主要句型,如:They are staying in a hotel.他们暂住在一家旅馆里。
3.“主----动-----宾”(SVO)句型:
在这种句型中,谓语动词为只带一个宾语的及物动词,这种动词被称为单宾语及物动词(Monotransitive Verb),如:
He kept the money.他保存着这些钱。
They have left the hotel.他们已经离开了那家旅馆。
在这种句型中,状语通常也不是必不可少的,但有少数几个及物动词的某些用法要求必具性状语,从而形成了“主----动-----宾-----状”(SVOA)这一在五种基本句型之外的另一种句型,如:
The train leaves London at nine.这列火车九点钟驶离伦敦。
4.“主----动----间宾-----直宾”(SVOiId)句型:
在这一句型中,谓语动词为能带一个间接宾语和一个直接宾语的及物动词,这类动词被称为双宾语及物动词(Ditransitive Verb),如:
He kept me a dictionary.他为我保存了一本词典。
Shall I leave you the camera? 要我把照相机留给你吗?
5.“主----动----宾----补”(SVOC)句型:
在这种句型中,谓语动词为能带复合宾语(宾语+宾语补语)的及物动词,这类动词叫做复合宾语及物动词(Complex Transitive Verb),如:
She kept a notebook handy.她手头上随时有个笔记本。
His illness left him weak.他的疾病使他身体虚弱。
从上面所介绍的五种基本句型中的例句中我们可看出,一个动词往往不只用于一种句型,它常常兼有连系动词、不及物动词和及物动词这三类动词的两种词性,有的甚至兼有三种词性,有些动词可以带单宾语、双宾语和复合宾语这三类宾语中的两种或三种。前面的例句表明,动词leave 可用于四种基本句型,而动词keep 可用于五种基本句型。
练习:Name the basic pattern of each of the following sentences(说出下列各句所属的基本句型):
a.主-----系-----表 b.主----动 c.主-----动----宾 d.主----动----间宾----直宾 e.主----动-----宾-----补
1.The pain drove me mad.2.Her explanation sounds crazy.3.She threw him a kiss.4.Time flies.5.The cat caught the little mouse.6.Many people consider the astronaut a great hero.7.He has grown very old.8.Mike is healthy.9.Architects design buildings.10.She offered me some cake.答案:1.e 2.a 3.d 4.b 5.c 6.e 7.a 8.a 9.c 10.d
第四篇:高中英语 轻松阅读 上下班时间长等于慢性自杀?素材
上下班时间长等于慢性自杀?
Stop us if you've heard this one before: long commutes are bad for your health.Some of the strongest recent findings in behavioral science have focused on the perils of a long ride to work.People with a lengthy commute show an increased amount of stress, get worse sleep, and experience decreased social interaction.A commute of 45 minutes carries such a cost to well-being that economists have found you have to earn 20 percent more to make the trip worth it.如果你听过这个说法,就让我打住:上下班时间长对身体有害。最近的行为科学研究有了些有力的发现,证明长时间的通勤时间会带来各种危害。通勤时间长会使压力增大,睡眠变差,社交活动减少。如果你每天的上下班时间要花掉45分钟的话,那么你要多赚五分之一的薪水才能弥补。
One reason for the linear association among transit riders is most likely that longer transit rides often involve transfers.That not only increases the length of the trip but also its unpredictability(waiting for several different arrivals),its variability(some trips take much longer than others),and its potential for crowding — all factors that have been shown to increase the stress of the commute。
造成上述结果的原因之一可能是由于上下班时间长的人在途中可能需要换乘。换乘不仅会增加交通的时间,而且还增加了不可预测性(要等不同的班次),这种变化性(有些班次花得时间可能更长),还有潜在的拥挤情况,都增大了通勤途中的压力。
延伸阅读:
《中国新型城市化报告2012》由中国科学院发布,在中国内地50个城市上班路上平均花费时间排名中,北京仍以52分钟居首,广州、上海则以48、47分钟紧随其后。而50个城市中,上班平均花费时间最少的中山市只需18分钟,几乎为北京的三分之一用时,且堵车时间为0,西宁、银川也只需19和22分钟,堵车时间仅为2和3分钟。
报告主编牛文元表示,在选取的中国百万人口以上的50个主要城市中,居民平均单行上班时间要花39分钟。如果按照人口算,排名在前的15个城市居民每天上班单行比欧洲多消耗288亿分钟,折合为4.8亿小时,若按上海每小时创造财富2亿元换算,15个城市每天损失近10亿人民币。(来源:京华时报)
无论是北京的三环四环五环,还是上海的内环中环外环,只要到上下班的rush hour,基本上就只能见到人头攒动、车水马龙的景象了。公车、地铁里更是一幅人挤人、排长龙的壮观画面。百万人口以上的城市通勤时间长已经不是新闻了,而现在由官方机构公布的数据更是让“首都=首堵”名副其实了。城市上班族一声吼:每天上班花费时间超过45分钟的上班族伤不起啊!
