《小王子》精读Chapter4-Part1 讲义-2023届高三英语一轮复习

The Little Prince [ Chapter 4]-Part1 I had thus learned a second fact of great importance: this was that the planet the little prince came from was scarcely any larger than a house! 由此我知道了另外一件非常重要的事:小王子居住的星球,比一座房子大不了多少! 【词汇】 1 thus adv.<正式>因此;<正式>这样,以此种方式 2 scarcely adv.勉强,几乎不 【短语】 1 of great importance 非常重要,在句中作为后置定语修饰前面的名词fact。 【句子】 “...the planet the little prince came from...”此处为省略了关系词that的定语从句,用来修饰前面的名词planet。 But that did not really surprise me much. I knew very well that in addition to the great planets such as the Earth,Jupiter,Mars, Venus to which we have given names, there are also hundreds of others, some of which are so small that one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope. When an astronomer discovers one of these he does not give it a name, but only a number. He might call it, for example,"Asteroid 325." 我不感到惊讶。因为我知道,只有像地球、火星、木星、金星这些大星球才有正式的名字,其他成千上万的小星球并没有响亮的名字。天文学家用望远镜观察到这些小星球,给它们编一个号码,就算名字了。比如,他们把一个小星球叫作“3251号小行星”。 【词汇】 1 Jupiter 木星 2 Venus 金星 3 Asteroid 小行星 【短语】 ① in addition to 除……之外 【句子】 1 “...to which we have given names,...” 句中to which we have given names 引导定语从句,用来修饰前面的Earth,Jupiter,Mars,Venus。 2 “...some of which are so small that...”这个部分用来修饰前面的hundreds of others,which即用来指代hundreds of others。 3 “...has a hard time seeing them...” 。句式结构是:have a hard time doing sth.表示:做……不容易。 I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B 612. This asteroid has only once been seen through the telescope. That was by a Turkish astronomer,in 1909. 我有确凿可信的证据,证明小王子居住的那个星球就是B612号小行星。1909年,一位土耳其天文学家用望远镜看见过它。 【句子】 1 “...from which the little prince came...”此处为定语从句,修饰前面的名词planet,表示小王子来自的那个星球。 2 “...has only once been seen...”此处为现在完成时的被动语态。表示这颗行星曾经有天文学家通过望远镜看过它。 On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it to the International Astronomical Congress, in a great demonstration. But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said.Grown ups are like that... 在一次国际天文学大会上,
