UNIT 6　At one with nature [对应学生用书P229] Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas Longji Rice Terraces① Imagine mountains wrapped② in silver water，shining in the spring sun.Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice.During autumn，these same mountains are gold，and in winter they are covered in sheets③ of white frost④.These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces. These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people，❶ to whom Guangxi is home．Starting in the Yuan Dynasty⑤，work on the terraces took hundreds of years，until its completion⑥ in the early Qing Dynasty.Reaching as far as⑦ the eye can see，these terraces cover tall mountains，often from the bottom to the very top⑧. ❶“介词to＋关系代词whom”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the local Zhuang and Yao people。 So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into⑨ terraces？Firstly，there are few large，flat areas of land in the region⑩.Building the terraces thereforemeant that they could increase the areas ❷ in which they could grow rice．Secondly，❸ although the region has plenty of rain，the mountains are steepand the soil is shallow.The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away. ❷“介词in＋关系代词which”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the areas。 ❸although引导让步状语从句。 ❹ But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed，with hundreds of waterways ❺ that connect with each other．During the rainy season，❻ it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces．The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour㉑.This forms clouds ❼ from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again．These terraces also provide a perfect environment for㉒ birds and fish，❽ some of which feed on insects that can harm㉓ the rice crops㉔. ❹what引导主语从句；in which引导定语从句，修饰the way；不定式短语作目的状语。 ❺that connect with each other是关系代词that引导的定语从句，修饰waterways。 ❻强调句型，强调的是along these waterways。 ❼“介词from＋关系代词which”引导的定语从句，修饰clouds。 ❽“代词some＋介词of＋关系代词which”引导的定语从句，修饰birds and fish；that引导定语从句，修饰insects。 Although modern technology could help produce more crops，these terraces still mean a lot to the local people ❾for whom traditions㉕ hold much value. This knowledge is passed down through families，which means that new generations㉖ continue to use ancient methods of agriculture㉗ to maintain the terraces. Today，the Longji Rice Terraces attract㉘ thousands of visitors who come to admire㉙ this great wonder created by people and nature working together． ❾“介词for＋关系代词whom”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词people。 which引导非限制性定语从句，which指代整个主句的内容；that引导的从句作means的宾语。 关系代词who引导的定语从句，修饰thousands of visitors；其中“created by ...together”是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰this great wonder。 ◆难词注解 ①terrace n．梯田 ②wrap v．包，裹 ※wrap—wrapped—wrapped be wrapped in被……包裹 ③sheet n．(冰或水等的)一大片 ※a sheet of ice一层冰 ④frost n．霜 ⑤dynasty n．朝代 ⑥completion n．完成，结束 ⑦as far as 远至 ⑧from the bottom to the very top 从下到上 ⑨turn ...into ...把……变成…… ⑩region n．地区，区域 therefore adv.因此，由此 plenty of 许多，大量 steep adj.陡的，陡峭的 soil n．土壤 shallow adj.浅的 prevent v．阻挡，防止 ※prevent ...(from) doing sth.阻止……做某事 significant adj.重要的，影响深远的 harmony n．融洽相处，和谐 ※in harmony with 与……和谐 design v．设计 waterway n．水路，航道 ㉑vapour n．蒸气 ㉒provide sth.for sb. 为某人提供某物 ㉓harm v．伤害，损害 ㉔crop n．庄稼，作物 ㉕tradition n．传统 ※by tradition根据传统 ㉖generation n．一代人 ※from generation to generation一代一代地 ㉗agriculture n．农业 ㉘attract v．吸引，引起……的兴趣 ※attract sb.to sth.把某人吸引到某物上 attract attention/interest 引起关注/兴趣 ㉙admire v．欣赏，观赏 ※admire sb.for sth.钦佩某人某事 参考译文 龙脊梯田 想象一下：春日，群山被银白色的水田包裹，在阳光下闪闪发光；盛夏，佳禾吐绿，将群山染成一片青翠；秋收，满山金黄；而隆冬，它们又披上了冰霜做成的雪白毛毯。这，就是绚丽多彩的龙脊梯田。 龙脊梯田的建造者是广西当地的壮族和瑶族居民。梯田从元朝开始修建，历经数百年，至清朝初期完工。目之所及，梯田包裹着巍峨的高山，往往从山脚一直盘绕到山顶。 为什么当地人要如此大费周章，将整片山地变成梯田呢？首先，这里缺乏大面积的平原，建造梯田意味着他们能够扩大水稻的种植面积。其次，尽管该地区多雨，但山地坡度大，土层浅薄，水平的梯田能够储存雨水，防止土壤流失。 但也许最令人惊叹的还是人与自然和谐相处建造梯田并种植水稻的方式。这些梯田设计巧妙，其间有几百条相互连通的水渠。在雨季，雨水会沿着这些水渠从山上流下进入梯田。水分经过日晒蒸发成水蒸气，水蒸气形成云，而雨水又从云中再次落到山上的梯田里。这些梯田也为鸟类和鱼类提供了绝佳的栖息地，而一部分鸟和鱼又以危害水稻的昆虫为食。 尽管现代科技有助于提高农作物的产量，但对珍视传统的当地人来说，这些梯田依然具有重要的意义。这种知识通过家族代代相传，后代子孙一直沿用古老的农耕方法维持着梯田的运作。今天，成千上万的游客慕名而来，欣赏这由人与自然共同创造的壮丽奇观。 Section Ⅲ　Developing ideas A Love of Gardening “If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” These words come from① the author of the book The Secret Garden，first published② in 1911.At that time，only the very rich in Britain had gardens.Very soon after this，homes with gardens began to be built.This is what started the British love of gardening！Today，millions of Brits like to say that they have “green fingers③”，❶ with around half the population spending their free time gardening． ❶“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语(现在分词短语)”结构。spend time (in) doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”。 For many people in the UK，their garden is their own private world.Each spring，children plant sunflowers④ and wait to⑤ see ❷which one is the tallest．Expert⑥ gardeners⑦ know just the right corner for roses，and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter into competitions.❸And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass，some are happy just to sit under the branches⑧ of the trees and enjoy the beauty⑨ of the world around them. ❷宾语从句，作see的宾语。 ❸while意为“尽管，虽然”，引导让步状语从句；nothing better than意为“什么都比不上……；莫过于……”，“否定词＋比较级”表达的是最高级的含义。 But in cities，limited⑩ space has led to people looking for new solutions.Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things.Today，there are over 4，000 people in London ❹ waiting for such pieces of land. One recent idea has been to turn rooftops and walls into private gardens.These gardens have helped ❺ make the cities greener and improve air quality. ❹现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰over 4，000 people。 ❺“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语(形容词)”结构。 As well as being good for the environment，gardening is also good for the soul.What other free­time activity allows you to be at one with nature and create more beautiful living things？And if you're in any doubt about this，take a moment to reflect on this line from The Secret Garden：“Where you tend a rose ...A thistle㉑ cannot grow.” ◆难词注解 ①come from 来自 ②publish v．出版 ③green fingers 高超的种植技能 ④sunflower n．向日葵 ⑤wait to do sth.等待做某事 ⑥expert adj.内行的，专家的 n．专家，行家 ※an expert at/on/in在……方面的专家/行家 be expert at/in (doing) 在(做)……方面在行 ⑦gardener n．园艺爱好者，园丁 ⑧branch n．树枝 ⑨beauty n．美，美丽 ⑩limited adj.有限的 lead to sb. doing sth.导致某人做某事 rent v．租用，租借 rooftop n．屋顶 improve v．改善，改进 as well as 也，还，又 be good for 对……有好处 soul n．灵魂 be in doubt about 对……持怀疑态度 reflect on 思考，考虑 tend v．照料 ㉑thistle n．蓟 参考译文 热爱园艺 “如果你欣赏的方式对了，你会发现整个世界都是花园。”这句话出自1911年首次出版的《秘密花园》一书的作者。当时，在英国只有非常富有的人拥有花园。此后不久，人们开始建造带有花园的房子。这就是英国人对园艺之爱的开始！今天，数以百万计的英国人喜欢说他们擅长园艺，大约有半数的人把空闲时间花在园艺上。 对于许多英国人来说，花园是他们自己的私人世界。每年春天，孩子们都要种向日葵，然后等着看哪一棵长得最高。内行的园艺人知道玫瑰生长的最佳位置，还有的人则要花上数小时来尽力种好蔬菜，以参加比赛。尽管许多英国人最喜欢的事情莫过于在星期天修剪草坪，也有些人很乐意只是坐在树下欣赏他们周围世界的美丽。 但是在城市里，有限的空间促使人们寻找新的解决方案。没有户外空间的人可以租用小块土地来种植作物。今天，伦敦有4 000多人在等待租用这样的地块。最近有一个想法是，把屋顶和墙壁变成私人花园。这些花园有助于城市绿化和改善空气质量。 园艺不仅有利于环境，而且还陶冶性情。还有什么其他的业余活动能让你与大自然融为一体的同时创造出更美丽的生态呢？如果你对此有任何疑问，请花点儿时间来回味一下《秘密花园》中的这句话：“在你种下玫瑰的地方……刺蓟草就不能生长。” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
