Guided writing

Sentence combination

Columbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain search for a sea route to Asia. The mystery of why he failed to find it haunted him and filled him with sadness.

Wherever he went-to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South Africa, Panama, down the coast of Central America-it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found〝Indians〞who did not even have shirts on their backs.

At times Clumbus became reconciled to the truth that his new land was not China, not Japan, not the spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world-and he called it exactly that-but Columbus also insisted until he died that the land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.

Precis writing

Simone’s wedding would be the most lavish event since she was born, although her stepmother Alice often lectured her about being financially responsible. When she was preparing for her wedding, Alice always tried to stop her from spending too much money. But Simone firmly believed that her father would pay for all the costs due to his deep love for her. That being so, Simone did not take Al ice’s advice and w as rude to her. Unfortunately, a special delivery arrived not long after. It was a letter from Alice. In the letter, Alice told Simone that she had bought her father’s bankrupt company when she fell in love with him. Now,however, her father was both fired and divorced. As a result, Simone was broke. Even worse, her wedding was cancelled because her fiance decided not to marry her after knowing the fact.

Ⅰ.Spelling

1. champagne

5. financially

Ⅱ.Dictation

It seems that marriage and money don’t mix, because marriage is a sexy rose-colored event that seems as wonderful as a cake without calories. Money, on the other hand, is the oil that greases the wheel. Money means bussiness and it’s unsually the last topic you want to discuss when you announce your engagement.

Beyond the expenses that you will incur with your wedding and honeymoon, money may provide most of the contention with your marriage. While discussions about money might seem unromantic at this moment, it’s best to talk about the future now before that marriage makes you legally bound to each other. Once you’ve said,〝I do,〞some things can’t be undone.ⅢListening comprehension

The Strange Story of Lady Be Good

It was a hot afternoon in September 1963. A small party of engineers in a truck were exploring, looking for oil in the southeastern desert of Libya. They were about four hundred miles south of the Libyan coast. The desert was hot, dry, flat and empty. The air was very clear.

The men suddenly noticed a strange shape on the horizon, far away. It was a mirage, they thought. Heat and light often played tricks on their eyes. The shape looked rather like an aeroplane on the ground. But the nearest landing ground, they knew, was at their own camp, a hundred and twenty miles to the north. As they drove slowly towards it, the shape grew clearer. It really did look like an aeroplane and seemed less than twenty miles away.

Two hours later the party stood beside a wartime bomber. Her name, Lady Be Good, was painted in white letters below the cockpit. She was shining in the evening sunlight, and in some ways she looked almost new.

The bomber had lost her wheels, and her propellers were bent. She lay flat on the sand, but her body and wings were undamaged. The men opened a door —it opened easily —and went inside. The plane was shining inside, too. The controls, the radio, the instruments — all seemed perfect. In the small kitchen there were biscuits, tins of soup, and even some water in an airtight tank. Maps were lying on a table nearby. There were instructions to the crew and several radio reports, with dates. The dates were all in 1942.

The visitors understood the tragedy of Lady Be Good. She had lost her way home, one night in 1942. She used up all her petrol and had come down in the desert. And there she had stayed for twenty-one years.

She is still there. The dry, hot winds keep her clean. No rain ever falls on her in that desert. She may still be bright and shining in a hundred years’ time.

But what happened to her crew? The bones of five men were later found between thirty and sixty miles north of the bomber. The remains, including the remains of four parachutes, were widely separated. The men’s names were written on small metal plates that hung down from the neck-bones. The story was clear. In case of a bad landing, the pilot had ordered his crew to jump by parachute. He himself had remained at the controls. The men had begun to walk to the north. But the desert had very quickly brought death to all of them.

ⅣTranslation

A. Translate the sentences

My chance of getting some technical training will be better if I enlist-that makes difference , you know〞〝Well,〞broke in his father.〝You’ve had a good first year at college.

Unit 1 在弗雷德看来，面试进行得很顺利。五天前他曾向一家小公司申请工作，现在那公司的一名董事正在对他进行面试。 在这之前弗雷德一直在当推销员。他现在想调工作并不是因为缺钱，而是因为作为一名推销员他几乎没有空闲的时间。 弗雷德在谈话前很担心，生怕头脑发昏说错话，但是很幸运他发现自己同这位董事的共同之处颇多。 显然这位董事很满意。正当弗雷德在想着自己很可能得到工作时，董事接着问他：“你愿意加班吗?” In Fred’s view, the interview was going very smoothly indeed. Five days before, he had applied for a job at a small business company and now he was being interviewed by one of its directors. Fred had been working as a salesman. He wanted to change his job not because he was short of money, but because as a salesman he could hardly enjoy any leisure at all. Fred had been worried that he might lose his head and say something silly, but fortunately he found that he had a lot in common with the director. It was clear that the director was quite satisfied. Fred was thinking that his chances of landing the job were favourable when the director proceeded to ask, “Do you mind working over time?” Unit 2 B.汉译英 汤姆一开始同父亲谈话就想直截了当地把自己的意思说出来。“爸爸，我作了一个重要的决定，我打算参军去（go into the services）。”父亲很吃惊，不赞同地看着他。“你不应该先得到学位吗？你总有机会服役的，在你……” “可是，爸爸，我今年无论如何会被征入伍的（be drafted）。”汤姆急着打断父亲说。“所以为什么不现在入伍呢（enlist）? 如果入伍了，我得到技术培训的机会就会更多些。要知道，那是很重要的。” “嗯……”父亲插嘴说，“你在大学里第一年学得不错，现在不是你离开学校的时候。” “爸爸，我大学一年级的成绩不很理想，我想我是赶不上其他同学的了。此外，我知道你多么不愿意背债（get into debt），要我成为你的负担，那么我永远不会觉得好受（feel right about）。” 听了这些，汤姆的父亲无言以对，但是他最终说了这么一句话：“我想也许你最好同你母亲谈一下。” As soon as Tom began his talk with his father, he wanted to gain his point directly. “I’ve made an important decision, Dad. I’m going into the services.” Tom’s father looked at him with an air of surprised disapproval. “Shouldn’t you get your degree first?

Dictation Unit 1 The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old. On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant, I guessed from my mother’s sign and from the hurrying in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. Hanging down from the porch was sweet-smelling honeysuckle. My fingers lightly touched the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what surprise the future held for me. I felt approaching footsteps. I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to help me discover all things to me, and, more than anything else, to love me. Translation: 1.They al believe that he had a slim chance of success. 2.I didn’t know why she has an air of sadness all the time. 3.It was after all the students had taken their seats that the president of the students’ union proceeded to announce the camping itinerary. 4.The stomach is a vital organ of the human body; please take good care of it. 5.He considered it ridiculous for the general manager to attach so much importance to those routine trifles. 6.Her study, which ranged over many languages and cultures, was full of challenge. 7.As is scheduled, all the members of the stuff take turns to do late duty. 8.She was greatly upset at the thought of leaving her parents and living on her own in a remote area. 9.We do not worry so much about her qualifications for the job as about her health. 10.He was greatly excited about the prospect of leaving a cruise around the world.

Unit 1 恰到好处 Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective （模糊的形容词）, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose. 你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗？只见他左敲敲，右敲敲，说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻，结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去，一钉到底。语言也是如此。一位优秀的艺术家谴词造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的观点。差不多的词，不准确的短语，摸棱两可的表达，含糊不清的修饰，都无法使一位追求纯真英语的作家满意。他会一直思考，直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的词。 The French have an apt（贴切的） phrase for this. They speak of “le mot juste,” (the exact word) the word that is just right. Stories are told of scrupulous（一丝不苟的） writers, like Flaubert, who spent days trying to get one or two sentences exactly right. Words are many and various; they are subtle（微妙的） and delicate（细腻的） in their different shades（色调）of meaning, and it is not easy to find the ones that express precisely（正是，恰恰） what we want to say. It is not only a matter of having a good command of language and a fairly wide vocabulary; it is also necessary to think hard and to observe accurately. Choosing words is part of the process of realization, of defining our thoughts and feelings for ourselves, as well as for those who hear or read our words. Someone once remarked: “How can I know what I think till I see what I say?” this sounds stupid, but there is a great deal of truth in it. 法国人有一个很贴切的短语来表达这样一个意思，即“le mot juste”, 恰到好处的词。有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人轶事，比如福楼拜常花几天的时间力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无误。在浩瀚的词海中，词与词之间有着微妙的区别，要找到能恰如其分表达我们意思的词绝非易事。这不仅仅是扎实的语言功底和相当大的词汇量的问题，还需要人们绞尽脑汁，要观察敏锐。选词是认识过程的一个步骤，也是详细描述我们的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和读者深刻理解的一个环节。有人说：“在我思想未成文之前，我怎么知道自己的想法？”这听起来似乎很离谱，但它确实很有道理。 It is hard work choosing the right words, but we shall be rewarded by the satisfaction that finding them brings. The exact use of language gives us mastery（掌握） over the material we are dealing with. Perhaps you have been asked “What sort of a man is so-and-so（某某等）?” You begin: “Oh, I think he’s quite a nice chap （家伙）but he’s rather…” and then you hesitate trying to find a word or phrase to express what it is about him that
