unfinished letter which had been written on March 14th,1943.

the log book.

had come to light.

船长可以把自己掌握的资料综合起来。

Text 课文

We have learnt to expect that trains will be punctual.

这是文章中的第一句话，大家一定要牢记它，并掌握这个句子的主干：

have learnt to expect that „„ 已经习惯于期待„„

--We have learnt to expect that all friends will be helpful in

need of

danger.

After years of conditioning, most of us have

developed an

unshakable faith in railway

time-tables.

(1). 介词 of 后接动名词形式，意为：经过多年的适应.

(2). Develop an unshakable faith in sth. 对于„„形成了一种不可动摇的信念。

(3)全句译文：经过多年的适应，大多数人对火车时刻表产生了一种不可动摇的信念。

--We have learnt to expect that parents are quite able, after

years of

pre-conditioning all of us have developed such unshakable faith.

我们已经习惯于期待父母总是能干的，经过多年的适 应，我们每个人都已经养成了这样一个不可动摇的信念。

--Most of us have developed an unshakable faith in our

teachers.

On time = punctual a. 准时的

Only an exceptionally heavy snow fall might temporarily

dislocate railway

services.

Exceptionally = unusual / uncommonly 不同寻常的，特别的(用于加强语气)

译文：只有那种特别大的暴风雪才有可能暂时打乱铁路计划。

Dislocate railway services = put railway services out of order

It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when

something does go

wrong.

When something does go wrong. 当事情出现差错时

It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities. 我们总是去责备铁路当局。

Too .. to 结构中，在 too 之前出现了 all, only, but, not 等词时，to 后的从句就有肯定意义。

--He is but too eager to get home. 他太急于要回家了。

--One is never too old to learn. 活到老学到老。

--I’m all/but too glad to have someone to speak to.

They are more likely to be ours than theirs.

Ours = our mistakes. Theirs = their mistakes.

句型：be likely to do 有可能„

--He is likely to arrive tomorrow evening.

--You are likely to get success if you work hard.

与 likely(有可能的) 有关的句型：

1. be likely to do

2. It is likely that……

--It is likely that he arrives here in time. 他及到达这里是有可能的。

词汇比较：

1. probable 与 likely 意思相通，但是不能与不定式形式搭配。可以用：It is probable that „

--It is probable that he arrives here in time.

probable 表示的可能性比 possible 表示的可能性要大，与 likely 基本相同。

le 表示可能发生或可能不发生，也可以用句型：It is

possible that „

--It is possible/probable that he will speak to you.

--It is possible for us to finish the work in an hour.

After consulting my railway time-table

After consulting 是介词+动名词构成的时间状语，=after I

had consulted my timetable.

Go direct from „ to „ 从哪儿径直到哪儿。

--The train goes direct from shanghai to Beijing.

At this time, this did not strike me as odd.

译文：这个时候，这件事情并没有让我感到惊讶。

Strike sb as 给某人以印象，使某人感到

--The activity struck me as wasting time. 这次活动给我的

印象就是浪费时间。

As 后面可以接分词，名词，形容词。

people besides

myself who wished to take

advantage of this excellent service.

Besides me = in addition to me 除我之外

Hold up = hold back / hinder / prevent 妨碍，阻碍

It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring

down the line at

ninety miles an

hour, but barely chugging along at thirty.

Barely = only

But he had not even heard of it.

Hear of = hear about

Denied the train’s existence 否认存在

it was there in black and

white.

A note of = a tone : 在我的声音里面存在着一种胜利的口吻。

In black and white 白纸黑字

A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the

bottom of the

page. It said:’ This service

has been suspended.’

Conduct me to = lead me to

Text 课文:

Illusions of Pastoral peace 宁静田园生活的遐想

The quiet life of the country（the quiet country life） has never

appealed

to me. （背诵）在论述

好处坏处的时候，应该在第一句话时救应该表达个人的意见。组织一篇议论文时，主要有三

段：开头段、支持段和结尾段。在开头段中的第一句话或是最后一句话讲明观点。 City born

and city bred. （独立主格结构，as I was born and bred in a

city）

I have always regarded the country as (think of … as… /

refer to … as)

something you look at

through a train window, or something you occasional visit

during the

weekend. (扩展句进行说明你的观点)。Most of my friends live

in the city, yet（however）they always go into

raptures at the

mere mention (at the mere mention of / at the sight of/ at the

news of /

at the touch of / at the mention of ) of the country.

（具体的事例进行说明观点，例子在文章中是必不可少的）

Though they extol the virtues of the peaceful life (从本课开始，注意文章的安排，结构的布局

和关键词的重复，引导让步状语从句，应注意其主句), only

one of hem has ever gone to live in

the country and he was back in town within six months.

（discussion: why

writer talk about this sentence: hypocritical 虚伪 ie: The

country life

never appeals to me, and never appeals to others.

从反面进行论述）

Even he still lives under the illusion that country life is

somehow

superior to town life.（背诵，the

writer emphasizes that his friend is hypocritical）(the life of

country /

the country / country life 重 复使用关键词能够引导读者跟着你的思路走)

He is forever talking about the friendly people, the clean

atmosphere, the

closeness to nature and

the gentle pace of living. （Discussion: why writer talks about

the virtue

of country life? 作者的 意图是讨论城市生活优于乡村生活，为什么要提及乡村生活的美德呢？Every picture has two

sides, 应论述其好处，再进行逐一否决）

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.

（the writer

illustrates the country life advantageous further）

This idyllic pastoral scene is only part of the picture.（背诵，从下文开始使用对比法进行论述）

My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter

evenings in

front of the TV -- virtually

the only form of entertainment. He says nothing about the poor

selection of

goods in the shops, or

（表并列）about those unfortunate people who have to travel

from the country to

the city every day to get to work.

Why people are prepared to tolerate a four-hour

journey each day

for the dubious privilege of

living in the country is beyond me.（本文重点句：背诵 why

所引导的从句

1. stand / bear / put up with / endure / tolerate

2. dubious: doubtful / uncertain）

They could be saved so much misery and

expense if they chose to

live in the city where they rightly belong.

(Conclusion: the writer

illustrates the topic: the country life is never appeals to him.

The writer

talks about both advantages and disadvantages of country life in

order to

comparison,

but he did not draw the conclusion about the comparison.)

If you can do without (manage/do without 没有„也能忍受 eg: I can do

without car. ) the few

pastoral pleasures of the country, you will find the city can

provide you

with the best that life can

offer. （背诵）There are advantages of living in the country, but

there are few

living in the country than living in the big city.

You never have to travel miles to see your friends. They

invariably(always)

live nearby and are

always available (able to be used anytime, 主要是用做表语，也可以用于定语，用做定语放在 被修饰词的后面

eg: I am available to have a chat with you.

The books in our

classroom are available for you. I have a

dictionary available for

you.) for an informal chat or an evening's

entertainment.

Some of my acquaintances in the country come up to town once

or twice a

year to visit the theatre

as a special treat. For them this is a major (demanding：要求高的，需要时间的)

operation which involves considerable planning.

As the play draws to its close （near its end）, they wonder

whether they

will ever catch that last

train home. The cit dweller never experiences

anxieties of this

sort. （背诵 eg: We can keep ourselves free from the

anxieties of this

sort which afflict the country dweller. Eating food with

different taste is also a pleasure. ）

The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride

away.

Shopping, too, is always a pleasure. The latest exhibitions,

films, or

plays are only a short bus ride away. Shopping, too, is always a

pleasure.

There is so much variety that you never have to make do

with second

best. Country people run

wild when they go shopping in the city and stagger home

loaded with (方式状语)

as many of the

exotic items as they can carry. （背诵）

Nor is the city without its moments of beauty.（双重否定表肯定）

There is something comforting about the warm glow shed （流泻）by

advertisements on cold wet

winter nights. Few things could be more impressive than the

peace that

descends on deserted city streets at weekends when the

thousands that

travel to work every day are tucked away in

their homes in the

country.

It has always been a mystery to me who city dwellers, who

appreciate all

these things, obstinately

pretend that they would prefer to live in the country. 结论句与第一段第一句进行呼应。
