读后悟考点
Ⅰ.扫词汇障碍
构词法
[教材1] My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the city.
downtown: down (向下)+town (城镇)→adv.在市中心
熟词生义
[教材2] In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco, which started a gold rush.
rush: [常见义]v.急促→[文章义]n.蜂拥前往
Ⅱ.破译长难句
[教材1] And what a city—a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.
[分析] 本句含有两个定语从句,第一个定语从句“that was able to rebuild itself”修饰先行词a city;第二个定语从句that occurred in 1906修饰先行词the earthquake。
[翻译] 这是一个多么了不起的城市——一个在经历了1906年地震后能够恢复自建的城市。
[教材2] There are so many beautiful old buildings—many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
[分析] “many sitting on top of big hills”是独立主格结构作buildings的定语;“offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge”是现在分词短语作状语。
[翻译] 有那么多漂亮的老建筑——许多坐落在大山顶上,可以看到城市、海洋和金门大桥的美景。
Ⅲ.学表达技巧
心理描写
[教材1] I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again.
[分析] feels good用得恰到好处,表明多年之后“我”又回到旧金山时的快乐心情,feel在该句中为感官系动词,后面跟形容词good作表语。像feel一样的感官系动词还有look, smell, sound, taste等。
[仿写] 当我坐在教室做试卷时,感到信心十足、精力充沛。
While sitting in the classroom and doing my papers, I felt confident and was full of energy.
过渡衔接
[教材2] This district used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food.
[分析] but连接的并列句,前一分句说明the Mission District过去的情况——城镇的贫困地区,后一分句说明the Mission District现在的情况——艺术、音乐和美食中心,but在此表示转折关系,表明今非昔比。
[仿写] 我以前骑自行车上班,但现在我开车上班。
I used to go to work by bike, but now I go to work by car.
心理描写
[教材3] Can't wait!
[分析] 只有两个单词,可见作者用词精练,但却能够精准地描绘出作者此时迫不及待的心情。本句话是省略句,补全为“I can't wait to go!”。can't wait to do sth表示“迫不及待地想做某事”。
[仿写] 中国剪纸展览会将于5月5日星期六在我们学校礼堂举行,许多学生迫不及待想参观。
A Chinese papercutting exhibition will be held in our school hall on May 5th, Saturday, and a number of students can't wait to visit it.
