Time for a Change?
Social Insights①
A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival. Nowadays,some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant, but not everyone is keen② on this idea. What do our readers think?
此处表示部分否定。否定句中有every及其构成的复合不定代词、all、always等词时,不管否定词的位置如何,表示部分否定意义。
①insight n.[C,U]洞悉,了解;[U]洞察力,领悟
②keen adj.喜爱;热衷的,渴望的,热切的
be keen on (doing) sth.对(做)某事着迷;热衷于(做)某事
be keen to do sth.渴望做某事
改变的时候到了吗?
社会见解
团圆饭是庆祝春节的一项重要传统。现在,有些人选择去餐馆吃(饭),但并不是每个人都喜欢这个想法。我们的读者是怎么想的呢?
Dear Editor③,
We have eaten out④ for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no less than⑤ eating at home. I don't understand why some people refuse to embrace⑥ the change.
③editor /'edItə/ n.[C](报纸、杂志的)主编,编辑
[词链] edit (vt.& vi.编校;vt.编辑;主编)—editor (n.)—edition (n.版本;版次)
④eat out 在外用餐
⑤no less than 本来意为“不少于,多达”,本处引申为“就……而言不比……差”。
⑥embrace /Im'breIs/ vt.欣然接受,乐意采纳(新思想、意见等) vi.& vt.拥抱
embrace the change 接受这种改变
尊敬的编辑:
过去三年,我们都在外面吃春节的团圆饭,而且我们跟在家里吃得一样开心。我不明白为什么有些人拒绝接受这种改变。
Can't they admit⑦ that the preparations⑧ for the dinner are hard work? I really don't think it's worth the effort⑨ of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour cleaning up⑩ the mess⑪ after it's over. We work all year,so why can't one day be about spending time with family and relaxing?
此处为省略了that的宾语从句。其中“spending so much time preparing...another hour cleaning...”为“spend some time doing sth.”结构。
⑦admit /əd'mIt/ vt.& vi.(不情愿地)承认
⑧preparation n.[C,usually pl.]准备工作;[U] 准备,预备
make preparations for... 为……做准备
⑨effort /'efət/ n.[U,C]力气,精力
⑩clean up 打扫(或清除)干净
⑪mess n.[C,usually sing.]脏乱,凌乱;麻烦,混乱
in a mess 杂乱不堪;陷入困境
难道他们不承认晚餐的准备工作非常辛苦吗?我认为花这么多时间去准备一顿饭,然后吃完饭再花一个小时清理干净真的不值得。我们全年都在工作,所以为什么不能有这么一天和家人共同度过,放松一下呢?
Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do with⑫ loss⑬ of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people, just in a different place. The occasion is more enjoyable without all that tiring cooking, and the dishes taste better!
⑫have nothing to do with... 与……毫不相干
have something/little/much to do with... 与……有点关系/几乎没有关系/有很大关系
⑬loss /lɒs/ n.[U,C,usually sing.]失去,丧失;[sing.]损失
suffer a great /heavy/big loss 遭受巨大的损失
at a loss 困惑,不知所措
a sense of loss 失落感
外出就餐是一个不错的选择,它与丧失传统毫无关系。我们仍旧是和同样的人共进晚餐,只是在不同的地方而已。没了所有那些令人疲惫的做饭的过程,用餐会更加愉快,菜肴味道也更好!
In my opinion, what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve really doesn't matter. Eating out may change the form of this tradition, but the love between the family members sitting around the table together remains the same.
此处为主语从句。
现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰family members。
Wang Peng,software⑮ engineer
⑭eve /iːv/ n.[C]前夕,前一天
on the eve of... 在……前夕
on Spring Festival Eve 在除夕夜
⑮software /'sɒftweə/ n.[U](计算机)软件
hardware n.[U](计算机)硬件
在我看来,除夕夜吃什么,或者在哪里吃,真的都不重要。在外面吃饭或许改变了这一传统形式,但围坐在桌旁的家庭成员们之间的爱并没有改变。
王鹏,软件工程师
Dear Editor,
For this year's Spring Festival family dinner,my son has booked⑯ a table at the best restaurant in town, but I'm a bit unhappy about it. For me, it just won't feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out.
it是形式主语,having the dinner out是真正的主语。
⑯book vt.& vi.[熟词生义] 预约,预订
book a table /flight 预订桌位/ 机票
尊敬的编辑:
对于今年的春节团圆饭,我儿子在城里最好的餐厅订了桌位,但我对此感到有点不高兴。出去吃团圆饭让我觉得不像是在过春节。
When I was a little boy,the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what I looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have our whole family gathered together.I would run around the house, listening to the adults⑰ chatting about their year. I'd get under my mother's feet⑱ in the kitchen,watching her make dumplings. She'd put tokens⑲ in some dumplings: candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy one. In the evening, all of us would⑳ sit around the table,enjoying the food and being together again. We toasted each other, we laughed, and the simple, homemade dishes tasted more delicious than anything cooked by a top chef.
what引导表语从句,what在表语从句中作looked forward to的宾语。
本句中not only...but (also)...连接了两个表语。第一个表语中,“that we...eat”为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词food,that在从句中作宾语。第二个表语中,“to have...together”为动词不定式短语作后置定语,修饰抽象名词the opportunity;have our...gathered together为“have+宾语+done”结构。
现在分词短语作伴随状语,为“感官动词+宾语+宾语补足语(动词-ing)”结构。
[思考] 此处的现在分词短语作什么成分?
⑰adult /'ædʌlt/ n. [C]成人,成年人
⑱get/be under one's feet 在某人身边碍手碍脚,妨碍
⑲token /'təʊkən/ n.[C]象征,标志
⑳would在此用来带出过去经常发生的事情。
在我孩提时代,我最期待的就是除夕夜的晚饭了。不仅是因为能够吃到我们(平时)很少吃到的美食,还因为这是全家团聚的机会。我在屋子里跑来跑去,听大人们谈论他们过去的一年。厨房里,我站在妈妈旁边碍手碍脚,看着她包饺子。她会把具有象征意义的物品包进一些饺子里:糖果代表生活甜甜蜜蜜,花生代表健康长寿。晚上,我们所有人都围坐在桌子旁,享用美食,再次团聚。我们互相敬酒,大声欢笑,简单的家常菜尝起来比顶级厨师做的任何食物都好吃。
I hope my children and their children will still value㉑ our memories of preparing the dinner together. To me, the process㉒ is even more important than the dinner itself.
Liu Yonghui,retired㉓ teacher
㉑value vt.珍视,重视
㉒process /'prəʊses/ n.[C](为达到某目标的)过程,进程
be in the process of... 在……过程中
㉓retired /rI'taIəd/ adj.退休的
我希望我的子孙后代仍会珍视一起准备团圆饭的记忆。对我来说,这个过程甚至比团圆饭本身更重要。
刘永辉,退休教师

(1)部分否定:当all,both,each,everybody,everyone,everything,always,whole,entirely, necessarily等具有总括意义的代词、形容词和副词与否定副词not连用时(not可位于任何位置),构成“部分否定”,意为“不是……都;并非……都”;

Whether you believe it or not, there is a festival that honours the monkeys.Called the Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival, it is celebrated in Lopburi.You may find this surprising, but when you ask some locals about the cultural significance of this festival, you will find that there is really little! The Monkey Buffet Festival is supposed to be for business—a creative and unique way of attracting tourists in Thailand.
However, you may ask why, of all the animals in Thailand, monkeys are honoured with festivities (庆祝活动).Interestingly, this is due to the ancient story of Hanuman, who is believed to have helped build the town Lopburi and these monkeys, the ones living around the town, are his descendants (后代).
The Monkey Buffet Festival is a unique event that will give tourists a new view of how monkeys are treated in Lopburi.It may be a strange festival, but promises a lot of fun especially for people who love animals.These long-tailed monkeys are very used to seeing humans, so tourists have no need to worry that they will go away seeing people getting near them.However, this could be disadvantageous as well.They can be very hazardous and have been known to take glasses and wallets away from tourists.So keep an eye on monkeys hanging from trees in the area.
Visit Lopburi in Thailand and enjoy the Monkey Buffet Festival.What are you waiting for? Mark your calendar for the last Sunday of November and experience the festivities with the cute little monkeys.Where else can you find a festival where monkeys are fed with fruits, candies, sausages, and a can of cola?
