Lesson 48 The silent village 沉默的村庄 1、In this much-travelled world, there are still thousands of places （which are inaccessible to tourists定语从句）. 在这个旅游频繁的世界上，仍有成千上万个游人足迹未至的地方。 · silent (adj.) 沉默，寂静 = extremely quiet silence (n.) · 词根：-ible/able 能够（被动） eg. eatable 能够被食用的 readable 能够被阅读的 · access (v./n.) 接受，入口 accessible 可进入的，能够被理解的 = can be reached · be accessible to sb. 能够被某人接近 eg. 他的音乐很大众化。 His music is accessible to the public. 反：inaccessible 不可进入的，不能够被理解的 be inaccessible to sb. eg. 这个岛在晚上变得难以接近。 This island becomes inaccessible to people during the night. 2、We always assume (that villagers in remote places are friendly and hospitable宾语从句). But people（who are cut off not only from foreign tourists, but even from their own countrymen定语从句）can be hostile to travellers. Visits to really remote villages are seldom enjoyable – （as my wife and I discovered during a tour through the Balkans原因状语从句）. 人们总是以为偏僻的地方的村民们热情好客。但是，那些不但与外国旅游者隔绝，而且与本国同胞隔绝的人们有可能对游客抱有敌意。到真正偏僻的村庄去旅游并不是一件愉快的事情。我与妻子在一次周游巴尔干半岛时对此深有体会。 · assume (v.) 认为（主观）= think = presume · hospitable(adj.) 友好的，好客的 反： inhospitable (adj.) 不友好的 hostile (adj.) 敌对的，充满敌意的，不友好的 · be hospitable/inhospitable/hostile to sb. 对某人友好/不友好 · hospitality (n.) 殷勤好客 · not only… but… 不仅…而且… · cut off 切断 eg. 由于大雪，道路被切断了。 Because of the heavy snow, the road was cut off. 由于微弱的信号，我们的通话被切断了。 Due to the weak signal, our conversation was cut off. 3、We had spent several days in a small town and visited a number of old churches in the vicinity. These attracted many visitors, （for they were not only of great architectural interest原因状语从句）, but contained a large number of beautifully preserved frescoes as well. 我们在一座小镇上逗留了几天，参观了附近的许多古老的教堂。这些教堂吸引大量游客，不仅是因为建筑风格奇特，而且还有大量保存完好的壁画。 · sb. spend some time (in) doing sth. 某人花了…时间做某事 · vicinity (n.) 附近 · in the vicinity of sth. 在…附近，在…周围 = in the neighbourhood eg. 在我家附近没有好学校。 There is no good schools in the vicinity of my home. 我住在上海周边。 I live in the vicinity of Shanghai. · not only…, but… as well 不仅…，而且… · architectural (adj.) 建筑学的 · architect (n.) 建筑师 · preserve (v.) 保护，保存 eg. preserve your eye-sight 保护视力 Her face is well-preserved.她的脸保养得很好。 · fresco (n.) 壁画 · be + of + （n.） 具有（文） = have = be + (adj.) eg. 这个会议很重要。 The meeting is important(adj.). = The meeting is of importance(n.). 这个会议具有重要性。 eg.

This was more than we could bear, so we decided to spend our last day exploring the countryside. Taking a path （which led out of the town定语从句）, we crossed a few fields until we came to a dense wood. 我们离开小镇的前一天，镇上来了几辆满载游客的公共汽车。人多得使我们难以忍受，于是我们决定利用最后一天去乡间一游。我们走上了一条出镇的小路，穿过几块农田，来到一片茂密的树林。 · departure (n.) 离开 · descend (v.) 下降 = fall eg.

We tramped through the wood for over two hours until we arrived at a deep stream. We could see （that the path continued on the other side宾语从句）, but we had no idea （how we could get across the stream同位语从句）. 我们原以为小路会到此突然终止。没想到它到树林中继续向前延伸。我们在树林中跋涉了两个多小时，到了一条深溪边。我们可以看到小路在深溪对岸继续向前伸展，但却不知如何越过这道深溪。 · abruptly (adv.) 突然地 = suddenly eg. an abrupt(adj.) change 一个突然的变化 · tramp (n.) 流浪汉 (v.) 徒步走 6、Suddenly my wife spotted a boat moored to the bank. In it there was a boatman fast asleep. We gently woke him up and asked him to ferry us to the other side. （Though he was reluctant to do so at first让步状语从句）, we eventually persuaded him to take us. 突然，妻子发现岸边泊着一条小船，船上有一船夫在呼呼大睡。我们轻轻地把他唤醒，请他把我们摆渡过溪。一开始，他很不愿意，但经劝说，终于同意了。 · spot (n.) 斑点，地点 （vt.）看见= see · moor (v.) 停泊 · moor 船 to 岸 · be reluctant to do sth. 不愿做某事 = be unwilling to do sth. 反：be willing to do sth. 愿意做某事 · persuade sb. to do sth. 说服某人做某事 7、The path led to a tiny village perched on the steep sides of a mountain. The place consisted of a straggling unmade road （which was lined on either side by small houses定语从句）. 顺着小路，我们来到一个座落在陡峭山坡上的小村庄。这儿有一条未经修筑的弯弯曲曲的道路，路两边排列着一些矮小的农舍。 · be perched on/above sth. 位于…之上 eg. 这栋房子位于小镇的悬崖之上。 The house is perched on the cliff of the town. 8、Even under a clear blue sky, the village looked forbidding, （as all the houses were built of grey mud bricks原因状语从句）. The village seemed谓语动词 deserted, the only sign of life being非谓语动词 an ugly-looking black goat on a short length of rope tied非谓语动词 to a tree in a field nearby. 农舍全用灰色的土坯建成，因此，即使在晴朗的蓝天底下，村庄看上去也会令人感到难以亲近。村里似乎无人居住，唯一的生命迹象是附近田里一只面目可憎的黑山羊，用一截短绳拴在一棵树上。 · forbidding (adj.) 令人望而生畏的 · forbid (v.) forbade forbidden 禁止 · be build of = be made of 由…制成 · mud (n.) 泥 9、Sitting down on a dilapidated wooden fence near the field, we opened a couple of tins of sardines and had a picnic lunch. All at once, I noticed（that my wife seemed to be filled with alarm宾语从句）. 我们在田边一堵东倒西歪的篱笆墙上坐下来，打开几听沙丁鱼罐头，吃了一顿野外午餐。突然，我注意到妻子十分惊恐。 · dilapidated (adj.) 残破的 = very old · a couple of 几个，一对，一双 10、Looking up I saw （that we were surrounded by children in rags who were looking at us silently （as we ate宾语从句/定语从句/时间状语从句）.

The village （which had seemed deserted定语从句）, immediately came to life. Faces appeared at windows. 我认为这不过是他们在陌生人面前表现出的害羞。后来，我们在村里的主要街道上行走的时候，一队默不作声的孩子跟在我们后头。刚才还似乎空荡荡的村庄一下子活跃了起来，窗口露出了一张张面孔。 · conclude (v.) 得出结论 · procession (n.) （仪式或游行）队伍，队列 queue (n.) （排队或购票）队伍 12、Men in shirt sleeves stood outside their houses and glared at us. Old women in black shawls peered at us from doorways. The most frightening thing of all was （that not a sound could be heard表语从句）. There was no doubt （that we were unwelcome visitors同位语从句）. 只穿着衬衣的男人们站在屋子外面凶狠地盯着我们，披黑纱巾的老妇人站在门口偷偷地瞅着我们。最令人害怕的是到处没有一点声音。毫无疑问，我们的来访是不受欢迎的。 · 看： look(vi.) at glare 瞪着 peer 费心地瞅着，瞪着 stare 盯着 gaze 凝视 fix one’s eyes on sth. 盯着 glance 扫视 glimpse 一瞥 peep 偷看，窥视 13、We needed no further warning.
