Unit 1 Developing Ideas ——语言点The Little Prince ¹ Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent/splendid picture in a book, (which was )called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval(原始的，远古的） forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy（v.n) of the drawing. in the act of doing sth. 正在做某事 = in the process of doing sth. 在做某事过程中 ² In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.” swallow up 吞并，吞没 chew up 撕坏，嚼碎 chew over 仔细考虑，深思熟虑 ³ I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this: succeed in doing sth. 成功做某事 ⁴ I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. ⁵ But they answered: “Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?” ⁶ My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since/as/because the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that(以便） the grown-ups could see it clearly. be frightened of /at/by 害怕...;对...感到恐惧 draw-drew-drawn They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this: have sth. done 让某事被做 have things explained 要你跟他们解释清楚，动词复合宾语结构 We had the televeision set mended this morning. You’ve had your hair cut! We’re having our car repaired. 学法点拨 在 “have + something + 过去分词” 结构中，宾语something后面用过去分词作宾语补足语，说明宾语与过去分词表示的动作之间是被动关系。一般意为 “让/请别人做某事”。 另外：“have + something + 过去分词” 还可表示自己主动完成某事 He had the stove lighted. 也可以表示意外或不幸遭遇了某事 He had his bag stolen in the market. 33002 ⁷ The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. devote oneself to doing/be devoted to doing 致力于，献身于,专心于 因...气馁/灰心 Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. ⁸ So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable. v. 驾驶；n.飞行员 fly-flew-flown distinguish...from... 将...和...区分开 ⁹ In the course of this life, I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand（就在眼前；在附近). And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them. ⒑ Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding. But, whoever it was, he, or she, would always say: ⒒ “That is a hat.” Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars. I would bring myself down（降低） to his level. I would talk to him about bridge（桥牌）, and golf, and politics, and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible（明智的） man. bring down 落下；降低；打倒 $$
