Neither Pine nor Apple in Pineapple 菠萝里既没有松树也没有苹果 必修一 Unit2 Exploring English 课文1 1 Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn' t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn' t. This made me realize that there' s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn. 你曾经问过你自己为什么人们经常在学英语上有麻烦吗? 我没问过,直到有一天我五岁的儿子问我是否汉堡包里有火腿。没有。这让我意识到在茄子里也没有鸡蛋。在波萝里既没有松树也没有苹果。这让我一直思考英语如何成为了一个疯狂的语言去学习。 2 For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we' re doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don' t get homesick when we get back home.

If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same? 如果“硬”是“软”的反义词,为什么“几乎不”和“柔软地”不是相反的一对?如果无害的行为是有害的行为的反义词,为什么无耻的和羞耻的行为是一样的? behave (v.) 4 When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say "it' s raining" or "it' s snowing" . But when we see sunshine, we can' t say "it' s sunshining" . 当我们看窗外并且看见雨或雪时,我们可以说天正在下雨或正在下雪。但是当我们看见阳光时,我们不能说天正在下阳光。 5 Even the smallest words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized "WHO" in a medical report, do you read it as the "who" in "Who' s that? " What about "IT" and "US" ? 甚至最小的单词可能都是令人困惑的。当你在医学报告中看见大写的“WHO”时,你把它读作“那是谁”里的“谁”吗?那么“IT”和“US”又怎么样呢? confused (adj.) 6 You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it
