While-reading: A fast-reading
How many parts can we divide the passage into?
Language Points
1. When Xi Wang was born, she weighted just 100 grams and looked like a white mouse.
be born 出生,出世
e.g. She was born in Shanghai.
她出生在上海。
2. In the beginning, Xi Wang drank her mother’s milk.
in the beginning = at first 一开始
e.g. He was a little shy in the beginning.
起初他还有点害羞。
in the beginning相当于at first,表示“起初、开始”时,含“起初是这种情况,而后来却不是这种情况”之意,不与of连用。
at the beginning常常跟of 短语,表示“在……开始时”,与at the end of 相对应,表示“在……结束时”。
辨析 in the beginning, at the beginning
3. Also, giant pandas live mainly on a special kind of bamboo.
live on 以食……为生
e.g. You can't live on bread alone.
你不能仅靠面包维生。
4. However, the bamboo forests are becoming smaller and smaller.
比较级+ and+ 比较级 表示“越来越……”
e.g. The prices are getting higher and higher.
物价越来越高了。
5. As a result, pandas may not have a place to live or food to eat.
as a result 因此
e.g. He didn't work hard, as a result he failed his exam.
他不用功,结果考试不及格。
e.g. The old man is ill. He’s in danger.

e.g. You must give up smoking and drinking right away.
你必须立刻戒烟酒。
right away 立刻,马上
8. However, we do believe that where there is Xi Wang,
there is hope.
句中的do是助动词,后接动词原形,用来加强语气。
e.g. I remembered that Justin did return home last night.
我记得Justin昨晚确实回过家。
句中的where there is Xi Wang, there is hope是仿照英语
谚语where there is a will, there is a way而来,该谚语的
意思是“有志者事竟成”
9. She weighed only 100 grams at birth, but she weighed over
35 kilograms when she was one year old.
at birth 出生时,诞生时 =when sb. be born
