The Well That Changed the World
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy,Ryan had trouble believing① the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water[1].He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain②.
学生用书第35页
It was very close — only ten steps away.So,Ryan asked himself,“Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get water every day? And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick[2]?” Young Ryan thought,“Life is easy for me,but hard for those people.Why don’t I help?”
[1]spoken by his teacher为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰名词the words;that引导同位语从句,解释说明前面words的内容,that在从句中不作任何成分,只起连接词的作用。
[2]so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”;so后面接形容词或副词,that引导结果状语从句;make them sick为“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,sick作宾语补足语。
At first,his plan was to earn③ money to build a single well somewhere in Africa[3].He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbours.He soon reached his first target④ of $70,but when he gave the money to a charity⑤,he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well[4].Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump.Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children.What they needed was a well dug near their homes.[5]
[3]第一个动词不定式短语to earn money作表语;第二个动词不定式短语to build a single well作目的状语。
[4]that引导宾语从句。
[5]What 引导主语从句,在从句中作needed的宾语;dug near their homes为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰前面的名词a well。
Two thousand dollars was a lot of money,but Ryan didn’t give up⑥.He was determined⑦ to help other children have clean water.He started to ask for help from⑧ his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to⑨ donate⑩ money.At the same time,a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public⑪.After several months,Ryan had raised the $2,000,with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda[6].The children at the school no longer⑫ needed to walk for hours to get water.They were grateful to⑬ him and invited him to visit.
[6]“介词+which”引导的非限制性定语从句,which代指前面的先行词$2,000。
In Uganda,Ryan at last saw the finished well[7] with his own eyes⑭.But that was not all.He also saw hundreds of⑮ delighted⑯ students who had turned out ⑰ to welcome him.They sang and danced happily.Some even offered him food and gifts.At first Ryan was nervous,but soon a great warmth filled him.He really had made a difference⑱ for these children.He broke into a joyful smile⑲.
[7]finished是动词finish的过去分词,此处作前置定语修饰well。

Later,Ryan’s experience led him to⑳ set up㉑ a foundation㉒ to encourage more people to help.Many inspired㉓ people gave him their support.Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people,so the work of building more wells can go on.Today,over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean,safe water.
Now,as an adult,Ryan says that the question to ask[8] is not “Why don’t I help?”,but㉔“How can I help today?”.This insight㉕ grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance㉖ to make his dream a reality㉗[9].
[8]动词不定式作定语修饰前面的the question。
[9]who 引导定语从句,修饰先行词boy。

改变世界的井
年仅六岁的加拿大男孩瑞安难以相信老师说的话——在欠发达的非洲国家,许多人都喝不到足够的干净的水。瑞安的目光掠过教室,望向对面的喷泉式饮水器。它是那么近——只有十步之遥。因此,瑞安问自己:“为什么有的非洲孩子每天要步行十公里去取水?为什么他们会因为喝了不卫生的水而生病?”年幼的瑞安想:“我的生活很舒适,可他们的生活却那么艰难,我为什么不去帮助他们呢?”
起初,他的计划是挣些钱在非洲某个地方挖一口井。通过帮助家人和邻居擦玻璃、做园艺,瑞安很快就达成了他的第一个目标——挣了70美元。但是当他把这笔钱交给慈善机构的时候,他才得知建一口井实际的花费是2 000美元。70美元只够买一个手压泵。瑞安明白,一个手压泵无法帮到非洲的孩子们,他们需要的是一口离家不远的井。
2 000美元可不是一笔小数目,但是瑞安没有放弃。他下定决心要帮助其他孩子获得干净的水。他开始向他的同学和邻居求助,劝说他们捐款。与此同时,在瑞安妈妈的一位朋友的帮助下,瑞安的事为公众所知。几个月后,瑞安筹到了2 000美元。有了这笔钱,乌干达的一所小学旁边建起了一口井。这所学校的孩子们再也不用走几小时的路去打水了。他们非常感激瑞安,并邀请瑞安前来参观。
在乌干达,瑞安终于亲眼见到了已经完工的井。不仅如此,他还看到了几百名学生兴高采烈地迎接他。他们高兴地又唱又跳,有的学生还为他送上了食物和礼物。刚开始瑞安还有点紧张,但很快一股暖流涌上了他的心头,他真的改变了这些孩子的生活。他高兴地笑了。
后来,这段经历促使瑞安建立了一个基金会,以鼓励更多的人伸出援手。许多深受鼓舞的人都向瑞安提供支持。瑞安的基金会不断吸引着越来越多的人给予帮助,从而使打井事业能够继续。今天,这份能改变人一生的礼物——干净卫生的水——已经惠及了非洲16个国家的80多万人。
如今,瑞安已长大成人,他说现在的问题不再是“我为什么不去帮助他们”,而是“如今我该如何去帮助他们”。这份领悟,始于一个有勇气和毅力实现梦想的六岁男孩那颗坚定不移的心。
