My First Day at Senior High
Monday 4 September
After I had pictured① it over and over again② in my mind, the big day finally arrived:my first day at senior high!I woke up③ early and rushed④ out of the door in my eagerness⑤ to get to know my new school.[1]
[1]不定式短语to get to know my new school作后置定语, 修饰eagerness。
The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore⑥ a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard⑦ when I heard a voice behind me.[2]“New here?” Turning around⑧, I saw a white-haired⑨ man.“Yes,” I replied.“I’m wondering⑩ what life is going to be like here.[3]”“Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile.“You’ll soon find out.”
[2] be doing sth. when…意为“某人正做某事, 这时……”。when是并列连词, 表示“这时”。
[3]what life is going to be like here是what引导的宾语从句, 作wondering的宾语。life是从句中的主语, what是连接代词, 在从句中作介词like的宾语。
How true these words were![4] When my English teacher stepped into⑪ the classroom, I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier.[5]
[4]该句是how引导的感叹句。
[5]该句是复合句。When引导时间状语从句。主句中to see the same man I had met earlier是动词不定式短语作原因状语, 表示was surprised的原因。I had met earlier是定语从句, 修饰先行词the same man, 又因关系代词在定语从句中作met的宾语, 故可省略。
“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one⑫ and introduce yourself to⑬ the class. I’ll go first…”
“What?!” I tried to turn on⑭ my brain but the engine⑮ just wouldn’t start.“I should say my name, of course. But what else?What could I say to make a good first impression⑯?[6]Something about my insect⑰ collection⑱, perhaps.” I was organising⑲ my words in my head when the girl next to⑳ me gave me a nudge㉑.“It’s your turn!”
[6]不定式短语to make a good first impression作目的状语。
With butterflies㉒ in my stomach, I breathed㉓deeply.“Hi, I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic㉔.“Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! [7] Although I was embarrassed㉕, his words made me a lot more relaxed㉖![8]
[7] 此处为“too…to…”结构, 意为“太……而不能……”。
[8]Although I was embarrassed是although引导的让步状语从句。although是连词, 意为“虽然”。主句使用了“make+宾语+形容词”结构, 意为“使……处于某种状态”。a lot修饰比较级more relaxed。
When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges㉗ like this might sometimes put you under pressure㉘. But it all depends on㉙ what you do. Keep calm㉚ and be prepared㉛. That way, you’ll make the most of㉜ your time at senior high.”
People say, “Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.
我的高中第一天
9月4日星期一
我在脑海中进行了无数次的想象之后, 如今这一天终于来了:我高中生活的第一天!我一大早就起床冲出了家门, 迫不及待地想了解我的新学校。
我来到学校时, 四周还是一片寂静, 我决定四处探索一番。我正在浏览公告牌上的照片, 身后忽然传来一个声音:“你是新生吗?”我转过身, 看到一位白发老人。“是的,”我答道, “我正在想这里的生活将是怎么样的。”“别担心,”他对我微微一笑, “你很快就会知道了。”
这话说得真是太对了。当我的英语老师走进教室时, 我惊讶地发现, 他就是我之前遇到的那位老人。
“大家早上好。开始上课前, 请大家依次到前面来向全班介绍一下你自己。我先来……”
“什么?!”我试图让大脑运转起来, 可引擎怎么就是无法发动呢。“我肯定得先介绍我的名字。还有呢?我该说些什么才能给别人留下个不错的第一印象呢?也许可以说说我收集昆虫标本的事。”我正忙着在脑海中组织语言, 坐在我旁边的女孩轻轻推了我一下:“轮到你了!”
我心里七上八下、紧张万分。我深吸了一口气说:“大家好, 我叫孟浩。”大家一下子哄笑起来, 我惊慌失措地盯着他们。“很高兴我们同名啊。”我的新老师说。我刚才太紧张了, 竟然没有仔细听老师的自我介绍!尽管有些尴尬, 老师的话还是让我放松了很多!
我们都介绍完后, 孟老师说:“大家都做得很好!我知道这对你们很多人来说并不容易, 但这种情况正是大家在高中阶段将要面对的。类似的挑战有时可能会让大家倍感压力, 但是一切都取决于你自己的努力。大家要时刻保持冷静, 做好准备, 这样就可以充分利用高中的时光了。”
常言道:“好的开始是成功的一半。”我想, 我的高中生活开了一个好头。
