新概念英语第三册Lesson 34 A happy discovery 课堂笔记

Lesson 34 A happy discovery 幸运的发现 1、Antique shops exert a peculiar fascination on a great many people. The more expensive kind of antique shop（where rare objects are beautifully displayed in glass cases to keep them free from dust定语从句）is usually a forbidding place. 古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。高档一点的古玩店为了防尘，把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里，那里往往令人望而却步。 · antique (adj.) 古老的 （n.） 古董 · fascination (n.) 吸引，诱惑 = interest (n.) · sth. have a fascination for sb. 某物吸引某人 = sth. exert a fascination on sb. eg. The movie has a fascination for me. = The movie exerts a fascination on me. = The movie fascinats me. ( = interests) = I am fascinated in the movie. (= interested) = The movie is fascinating.(= interesting) · where引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，相当于= in which · forbid forbade forbidden 禁止 · forbid sb. to do sth. 禁止某人做某事 = forbid sb. from doing sth. · forbidding (adj.) 令人望而生畏 eg. a forbidding place 令人望而生畏的地方 2、But no one has to muster up courage to enter a less pretentious antique shop. There is always hope （that in its labyrinth of musty, dark, disordered rooms a real rarity will be found amongst the piles of assorted junk [that litter the floors.同位语从句）定语从句] 而对不太装腔作势的古玩店，无论是谁都不用壮着胆子才敢往里进。人们还常常有希望在发霉、阴暗、杂乱无章、迷宫般的店堂里，从杂乱地摆放在地面上的、一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。 · muster (v./n.) 集合 eg. muster all the troops 召集所有军队 · muster up the courage to do sth. 鼓起勇气做某事 eg. 我鼓起勇气进入这个令人望而生畏的地方。 I mustered up the courage to enter the forbidding place. · less pretentious （less + 形容词原级:消级比较） · pretend (v.) 假装 prententious (adj.) 矫揉造作，自命不凡，虚伪的 · labyrinth (n.) 迷宫 · musty (adj.) 发霉的 · rarity(n.) 稀罕物 —— rare (adj.) 稀有的 eg. 在大城市，彩虹很罕见。 The rainbow is a rarity in big cities. · amongst（古） = among · assorted (adj.) 各种各样的 = various (adj.) = all kinds of = a rich variety of = an assortment of 3、No one discovers a rarity by chance. A truly dedicated bargain hunter must have patience, and above all, the ability to recognize the worth of something （when he sees it.时间状语从句） 无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。一个到处找便宜的人必须具有耐心，而且最重要的是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。 · by chance 偶然，意外，碰巧 · dedicate A to B 把A奉献给B eg. 她把一生奉献给了帮助穷人。 She dedicated her life to the poor. · dedicated (adj.) 有献身精神的，专心致志的 · above all 最重要的是 4、To do this, he must be at least as knowledgeable as the dealer. Like a scientist bent on making a discovery, he must cherish the hope (that one day he will be amply rewarded.同位语从句) 要做到这一点，他至少要像古董商一样懂行。他必须像一个专心致志进行探索的科学家那样抱有这样的希望，即终有一天，他的努力会取得丰硕的成果。 · as…+ (adj./adv.)…as 和…一样（原级比较） · knowledgeable (adj.) 学识渊博的 —— knowledge (n.) 知识 · dealer (n.) … 商 （专卖某一种商品，对此类物品非常精通） eg. art dealer 艺术品商人 used-car dealer 二手车商 furniture dealer 家具商 wine dealer 酒商 drug dealer 毒品贩子 · bend bent bent 弯曲（v.） · bend over 弯腰 eg. 我弯腰捡起了一个钱包。 I bent over and picked up a wallet. · be bent on doing sth. 一心想要做某事，下定决心要做某事 eg. 他一心想要不惜一切代价做出这道题目。 He was bent on working out this problem at all costs. · cherish the hope/dream/memory 怀有…的希望/梦想/回忆 · amply (adj./adv.) = enough 足够的 5、My old friend, Frank Halliday, is just such a person. He has often described to me （how he picked up a masterpiece for a mere $50.）One Saturday morning, Frank visited an antique shop in my neighbourhood. （As he had never been there before,原因状语从句） he found a great deal to interest him. 我的老朋友弗兰克.哈利戴正是这样一个人。他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。一个星期六的上午，弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。由于他从未去过那儿，结果他发现许多有趣的东西。 · masterpiece (n.) 杰作 · merely = only 只有 · interest (v.) = fascinate 吸引 6、The morning passed rapidly and Frank was about to leave (when he noticed a large packing case lying on the floor.时间状语从句) 上午很快过去了，弗兰克正准备离去，突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。 · be about to do sth. 马上要做，眼下就要（将来） eg. 我们马上就要出发了。 We are about to set out. 新学年就要开始了。 The new school year is about to start. 我正要说话的时候，你进来了。 I was about to talk when you came in. · 感官动词的表达： notice/see sb. do sth. 看见某人做某了某事 notice/see sb. doing sht. 看见某人正做着某事 7、The dealer told him （that it had just come in,宾语从句） but that he could not be bothered to open it. Frank begged him to do so and the dealer reluctantly prised it open.

Frank gently lifted the crockery out of the box and suddenly noticed a miniature painting at the bottom of the packing case. 除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外，货箱内装满陶器，而且大部分都已破碎裂。弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子，突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画。 · Apart from 除了 = Besides eg. 除了快乐和有益的锻炼之外，游泳还是个有用的技能。 Apart from the happiness/fun and good exercise, swimming is a useful skill. 除了英语，我们还学数学、物理和化学。 Apart from English, we also learn maths, physics and chemistry. · carve (v.) 雕刻 eg. carve a statue 雕个雕塑 carve the name on the wall 把名字刻在墙上 · carved (adj.) 有雕刻的 · be full of = be filled with 充满了 · 非谓语动词broken 表被动，作定语，修饰it · miniature (adj.) 微型的 · 前缀mi- （拉丁文词根）：微小的 eg. microsoft 微软 microphone 话筒，麦克风 9、（As its composition and line reminded him of an Italian painting [he knew well,]原因状语从句/定语从句）he decided to buy it. Glancing at it briefly, the dealer told him that it was worth $50. Frank could hardly conceal his excitement, （for he knew [that he had made a real discovery.原因状语从句）宾语从句] The tiny painting proved to be an unknown masterpiece by Correggio and was worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. 画面构图与纸条使他想起一幅他所熟悉的意大利画，于是他决定将画买了下来。古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画，告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情，因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作，价值几十万英镑。 · compose （v.） 组成，构成 · be composed of 由…组成 eg. 水是由氢和氧组成的。 Water is composed of Hydrogen and Oxygen. 人类是由细胞组成的。 Human beings are composed of cells. · composition (n.) 作文，作曲，构图 eg. 莫扎特的作曲无疑是世界最伟大的。 Mozart’s compositions are undoubtly the greatest in the world. 她的画有功力，但构图欠佳。 Her drawing is good, but the composition is poor/bad. · know sb./sth. well 对…熟悉 · tiny (adj.) 极小的 = miniature Supplementary exercises: · The truth is quite what you think.
