课文聚焦
一、原文呈现:
The 1940 house
“There were many times when I thought,” I can’t do this. I am a 21st century woman. I don’t work eighteen-hour days’. But then I’d stop and say, ‘Hang on. In the 1940s, women didn’t say they couldn’t do it. They just got on with it. ’”These are the words of 50-year-old Lyn Hymers, who took part in an experiment called The 1940s House. The purpose of the experiment was to see if a modern-day family would be capable of surviving in the 1940s.
参考译文:
有很多次我想,“我做不到。”我是一个21世纪的女人。我不是每天工作18个小时。但我会停下来说,‘等等。在20世纪40年代,女性并没有说她们不能这样做。他们就这么干了。这是50岁的琳恩·海莫斯说的话,她参加了一项名为“1940年代的房子”的实验。实验的目的是看一个现代家庭是否有能力在20世纪40年代生存下来。
In March, Lyn, her husband Michael, her daughter and two grandsons arrived at a three-bedroomed house in south London. Unfortunately, when they opened the door, all 21st century labour-saving devices immediately disappeared. There was no central heating or fridge in the house, but luckily they had a coal fire to keep them warm.
参考译文:
今年3月,琳恩和她的丈夫迈克尔、女儿以及两个外孙来到伦敦南部一所有三间卧室的房子里。不幸的是,当他们打开大门时,所有21世纪的省力设备立刻消失了。房子里没有中央暖气或冰箱,但幸运的是,他们有一堆煤火来取暖。
But food and warmth were not as important as safety—their first task was to quickly dig a hole in the garden. The family needed to have a place to take cover: World War II started in 1939, and German planes were regularly dropping bombs over London. Although the war wasn’t real for the Hymers, they spent a lot of time down in the hole. They wanted the experiment to seem as real as possible.
参考译文:
但是食物和温暖并不像安全那么重要——他们的第一个任务是在花园里迅速挖一个洞。这个家庭需要一个隐蔽的地方:1939年第二次世界大战开始了,德国飞机经常在伦敦上空投下炸弹。虽然战争对Hymers来说并不真实,但他们在洞里呆了很长时间。他们希望这个实验看起来尽可能真实。
The war wasn’t real, but the difficulties of everyday life were. In the 1940s, there was rationing of goods such as food and petrol. There wasn’t much meat or milk, or many eggs, and the food was really boring. As a result, the family were often hungry, especially the children. Before the experiment, the children often had snacks, but now they ate dry sandwiches for lunch.
参考译文:
战争是不真实的,但日常生活的困难是真实的。20世纪40年代,食品和汽油等商品实行定量配给。没有多少肉和牛奶,也没有很多鸡蛋,而且食物真的很无聊。结果,家里经常挨饿,尤其是孩子们。实验前,孩子们经常吃零食,但现在他们午餐吃干三明治。
Domestic chores were a challenge too. In the 1940s, these chores were like a full-time job. While Michael went out to work, Lyn and her daughter spent most of their time preparing meals, doing the dishes and cleaning the floor. Things that Lyn did easily before, now became terribly difficult. She missed her washing machine most of all. “We had to boil the clothes and when the weather wasn’t good, it was impossible to dry anything,” said Lyn.
参考译文:
家务琐事也是个挑战。在20世纪40年代,这些家务就像是一份全职工作。当迈克尔出去工作时,琳恩和她的女儿大部分时间都在做饭、洗碗和擦地板。以前琳很容易做到的事情,现在变得异常困难。她最想念她的洗衣机。林恩说:“我们不得不把衣服煮了,天气不好的时候,什么都不可能烘干。”
Today, Lyn is back in her modern, open-plan home, but surprisingly, she misses the 1940s house. The family grew closer, she feels, because they helpfully shared the hard work. In the evenings they played board games with the children, read books or just talked. Life in the 1940s wasn’t easy, but an easier and more comfortable life doesn’t necessarily mean a better life. “I would happily go back there,” she says, “I loved that house where we all laughed and cried together as a family.
参考译文:
如今,林恩回到了她的现代开放式住宅,但令人惊讶的是,她怀念上世纪40年代的房子。她觉得,家庭变得更亲密了,因为他们帮助分担了辛苦的工作。晚上,他们和孩子们玩棋盘游戏,读书或者只是聊天。20世纪40年代的生活并不容易,但更轻松、更舒适的生活并不一定意味着更好的生活。“我会很高兴地回到那里,”她说,“我喜欢那座房子,在那里我们一家人一起欢笑,一起哭泣
二、课文研习:
重难句式及解析
1. “There were many times when I thought, ‘I can’t do this. I am a 21st century woman. I don’t work eighteen-hour days’.”
解析:这是一个包含定语从句的复合句。“when I thought...” 是定语从句,修饰先行词 “many times”,表示 “我有很多次这样想”。直接引语的使用生动展现了人物的内心矛盾,通过现代女性视角与 1940 年代女性的对比,突出实验中的心理冲突。
2.“The purpose of the experiment was to see if a modern-day family would be capable of surviving in the 1940s.”
解析:句中 “to see if...” 为动词不定式作表语,“if” 引导宾语从句,表达实验的目的。“be capable of” 是固定搭配,意为 “有能力做某事”,该句式清晰阐述了实验的核心目标,即验证现代家庭在过去时代的生存能力。
3.“Although the war wasn’t real for the Hymers, they spent a lot of time down in the hole. They wanted the experiment to seem as real as possible.”
解析:前句是让步状语从句,“Although” 引导的从句与主句形成转折,强调尽管战争是模拟的,但他们仍认真对待。后句中 “as real as possible” 是比较状语结构,体现他们对实验真实性的追求,两句通过逻辑衔接展现实验的严谨性。
4.“Things that Lyn did easily before, now became terribly difficult. She missed her washing machine most of all. ‘We had to boil the clothes and when the weather wasn’t good, it was impossible to dry anything,’ said Lyn.”
解析:首句中 “that Lyn did easily before” 是定语从句,修饰 “Things”,突出过去与现在的对比。直接引语部分包含时间状语从句 “when the weather wasn’t good”,通过具体生活细节(煮衣服、晾衣服困难),具象化展现 1940 年代家务的繁琐,增强文本的画面感。
5.“Today, Lyn is back in her modern, open-plan home, but surprisingly, she misses the 1940s house. The family grew closer, she feels, because they helpfully shared the hard work.”
解析:前句通过 “but” 形成转折,打破读者对现代生活的预期;后句中 “she feels” 作为插入语,强调主观感受,“because” 引导原因状语从句,解释 “家庭关系更紧密” 的原因。该组句子通过逻辑转折和因果关系,升华了实验的意义 —— 物质舒适与精神联结的对比。

一、原文呈现:
The 1940 house
“There were many times when I thought,” I can’t do this. I am a 21st century woman. I don’t work eighteen-hour days’. But then I’d stop and say, ‘Hang on. In the 1940s, women didn’t say they couldn’t do it. They just got on with it. ’”These are the words of 50-year-old Lyn Hymers, who took part in an experiment called The 1940s House. The purpose of the experiment was to see if a modern-day family would be capable of surviving in the 1940s.
参考译文:
有很多次我想,“我做不到。”我是一个21世纪的女人。我不是每天工作18个小时。但我会停下来说,‘等等。在20世纪40年代,女性并没有说她们不能这样做。他们就这么干了。这是50岁的琳恩·海莫斯说的话,她参加了一项名为“1940年代的房子”的实验。实验的目的是看一个现代家庭是否有能力在20世纪40年代生存下来。
In March, Lyn, her husband Michael, her daughter and two grandsons arrived at a three-bedroomed house in south London. Unfortunately, when they opened the door, all 21st century labour-saving devices immediately disappeared. There was no central heating or fridge in the house, but luckily they had a coal fire to keep them warm.
参考译文:
今年3月,琳恩和她的丈夫迈克尔、女儿以及两个外孙来到伦敦南部一所有三间卧室的房子里。不幸的是,当他们打开大门时,所有21世纪的省力设备立刻消失了。房子里没有中央暖气或冰箱,但幸运的是,他们有一堆煤火来取暖。
But food and warmth were not as important as safety—their first task was to quickly dig a hole in the garden. The family needed to have a place to take cover: World War II started in 1939, and German planes were regularly dropping bombs over London. Although the war wasn’t real for the Hymers, they spent a lot of time down in the hole. They wanted the experiment to seem as real as possible.
参考译文:
但是食物和温暖并不像安全那么重要——他们的第一个任务是在花园里迅速挖一个洞。这个家庭需要一个隐蔽的地方:1939年第二次世界大战开始了,德国飞机经常在伦敦上空投下炸弹。虽然战争对Hymers来说并不真实,但他们在洞里呆了很长时间。他们希望这个实验看起来尽可能真实。
The war wasn’t real, but the difficulties of everyday life were. In the 1940s, there was rationing of goods such as food and petrol. There wasn’t much meat or milk, or many eggs, and the food was really boring. As a result, the family were often hungry, especially the children. Before the experiment, the children often had snacks, but now they ate dry sandwiches for lunch.
参考译文:
战争是不真实的,但日常生活的困难是真实的。20世纪40年代,食品和汽油等商品实行定量配给。没有多少肉和牛奶,也没有很多鸡蛋,而且食物真的很无聊。结果,家里经常挨饿,尤其是孩子们。实验前,孩子们经常吃零食,但现在他们午餐吃干三明治。
Domestic chores were a challenge too. In the 1940s, these chores were like a full-time job. While Michael went out to work, Lyn and her daughter spent most of their time preparing meals, doing the dishes and cleaning the floor. Things that Lyn did easily before, now became terribly difficult. She missed her washing machine most of all. “We had to boil the clothes and when the weather wasn’t good, it was impossible to dry anything,” said Lyn.
参考译文:
家务琐事也是个挑战。在20世纪40年代,这些家务就像是一份全职工作。当迈克尔出去工作时,琳恩和她的女儿大部分时间都在做饭、洗碗和擦地板。以前琳很容易做到的事情,现在变得异常困难。她最想念她的洗衣机。林恩说:“我们不得不把衣服煮了,天气不好的时候,什么都不可能烘干。”
Today, Lyn is back in her modern, open-plan home, but surprisingly, she misses the 1940s house. The family grew closer, she feels, because they helpfully shared the hard work. In the evenings they played board games with the children, read books or just talked. Life in the 1940s wasn’t easy, but an easier and more comfortable life doesn’t necessarily mean a better life. “I would happily go back there,” she says, “I loved that house where we all laughed and cried together as a family.
参考译文:
如今,林恩回到了她的现代开放式住宅,但令人惊讶的是,她怀念上世纪40年代的房子。她觉得,家庭变得更亲密了,因为他们帮助分担了辛苦的工作。晚上,他们和孩子们玩棋盘游戏,读书或者只是聊天。20世纪40年代的生活并不容易,但更轻松、更舒适的生活并不一定意味着更好的生活。“我会很高兴地回到那里,”她说,“我喜欢那座房子,在那里我们一家人一起欢笑,一起哭泣
二、课文研习:
重难句式及解析
1. “There were many times when I thought, ‘I can’t do this. I am a 21st century woman. I don’t work eighteen-hour days’.”
解析:这是一个包含定语从句的复合句。“when I thought...” 是定语从句,修饰先行词 “many times”,表示 “我有很多次这样想”。直接引语的使用生动展现了人物的内心矛盾,通过现代女性视角与 1940 年代女性的对比,突出实验中的心理冲突。
2.“The purpose of the experiment was to see if a modern-day family would be capable of surviving in the 1940s.”
解析:句中 “to see if...” 为动词不定式作表语,“if” 引导宾语从句,表达实验的目的。“be capable of” 是固定搭配,意为 “有能力做某事”,该句式清晰阐述了实验的核心目标,即验证现代家庭在过去时代的生存能力。
3.“Although the war wasn’t real for the Hymers, they spent a lot of time down in the hole. They wanted the experiment to seem as real as possible.”
解析:前句是让步状语从句,“Although” 引导的从句与主句形成转折,强调尽管战争是模拟的,但他们仍认真对待。后句中 “as real as possible” 是比较状语结构,体现他们对实验真实性的追求,两句通过逻辑衔接展现实验的严谨性。
4.“Things that Lyn did easily before, now became terribly difficult. She missed her washing machine most of all. ‘We had to boil the clothes and when the weather wasn’t good, it was impossible to dry anything,’ said Lyn.”
解析:首句中 “that Lyn did easily before” 是定语从句,修饰 “Things”,突出过去与现在的对比。直接引语部分包含时间状语从句 “when the weather wasn’t good”,通过具体生活细节(煮衣服、晾衣服困难),具象化展现 1940 年代家务的繁琐,增强文本的画面感。
5.“Today, Lyn is back in her modern, open-plan home, but surprisingly, she misses the 1940s house. The family grew closer, she feels, because they helpfully shared the hard work.”
解析:前句通过 “but” 形成转折,打破读者对现代生活的预期;后句中 “she feels” 作为插入语,强调主观感受,“because” 引导原因状语从句,解释 “家庭关系更紧密” 的原因。该组句子通过逻辑转折和因果关系,升华了实验的意义 —— 物质舒适与精神联结的对比。
