参 考 译 文
菠萝

松树
+
苹果
你有没有问过自己, 为什么人们常常在
学习英语方面有困难? 我以前从未想过这个
问题 , 直到有一天 , 我五岁的儿子问我
hamburger
(汉堡包 ) 里面有没有
ham
(火
腿)。 答案是没有。 这让我意识到,
eggplant
(茄子) 里也没有
egg
(鸡蛋), 而
pineapple
(菠萝 ) 里既没有
pine
(松树 ) , 也没有
apple
(苹果)。 这让我陷入思考: 对于学习
者而言, 英语到底可以有多疯狂呢?
例如, 闲暇时我们可以雕刻一座雕像
(
sculpt a sculpture
) 、 画 一 幅 画 (
paint a
painting
), 但只能拍一张照片 (
take a pho鄄
to
)。 旅行时, 我们坐汽车或出租车时是说
坐在里面 (
in
), 坐火车或公共汽车时却要
说坐在上面 (
on
)! 同样, 我们会在海上晕
船 (
seasick at sea
)、 在飞机上晕机 (
airsick
in the air
)、 在车里晕车 (
carsick in a car
),
但回到家里我们却不会 “晕家 ” (
home鄄
sick
, 实际意为 “想家的, 思乡的”)。 说到
家 , 为 什 么
homework
( 家 庭 作 业 ) 和
housework
(家务) (这两个英语单词看起
来很像意思却) 不是一回事呢?
如果说
hard
(硬) 是
soft
(软) 的反义
词 , 为什么
hardly
(几乎不 ) 和
softly
(柔
和地, 轻柔地) 却不是一对反义词呢? 如果
说
harmless actions
(无害的行为) 与
harmful
actions
(有害的行为) 意思相反, 为什么无
耻的行为 (
shameless behaviors
) 和可耻的行
为 (
shameful behaviors
) 反而是一回事?
当我们望向窗外, 看到雨 (
rain
) 或雪
(
snow
) 时 , 我们可以说正在下雨 (
it蒺s
raining
) 或正在下雪 (
it蒺s snowing
)。 但当我
们看到阳光 (
sunshine
) 时 , 我们不能说
“正在下阳光” (
it蒺s sunshining
)。
即使是最短小的单词都让人费解。 当你
在医学报告中看到大写的
WHO
时, 你会把
它读为 “
Who蒺s that?
” 中的 “
who
” 吗? 那
么 “
IT
” 和 “
US
” 又该怎么读呢?
你也会对英语这门语言独有的疯狂感到
惊奇。 在英语里, 房子烧成灰烬时, 可以说
burn up
(字面意思是 “烧上去”), 也可以说
19
学
高 中 英 语 必 修 第一册 (外研版) 精编版
burn down
(字面意思是 “烧下去”); 填表
时 , 你可以说
fill in a form
(字面意思是
“填入表里”), 也可以说
fill out a form
(字
面意思是 “填到表外”); 而且只有闹钟走了
(
go off
字面意思是 “离开”) 以后你才能听
到铃声!
英语是人创造的, 不是计算机发明的,
它反映了人类的创造力。 这就是为什么
stars
are out
(星星出现了 ) 时 , 我们能看到星
星, 而当
lights are out
(灯光熄灭) 时, 我
们却看不到灯光。 这也是当我
wind up my
watch
(给手表上紧发条) 以后表针开始走,
而我
wind up this passage
(将本文收尾) 后
这篇文章结束的原因。
