I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three! 上午十点，所有时间机器中的第一台启动了共运转之旅。我最后检查了一遍机器，然后坐在皮椅上。我把主面板上的启动杆往前推了一英寸，然后又立刻向后拉。环顾四周，我看到实验室与以前一模样。发生什么事了吗?我以为我的大脑欺骗了我。然后我看了下时钟。片刻之前，大概是十点零一分，而现在已经快三点半了!

The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further. Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still. 我吸了一口气，一把抓住操纵，往前推了一下。实验室在我身边变得模糊不清。我的侄女进来拿东西，也许是拿她的手帕，但她显然没看见我。她大约花了一分钟时间，但在我看来，她的动作快如火箭!我把操纵杆再往前推了下。夜幕降临了，仿佛一盏灯正在熄灭，转眼间，白昼就来临了。第二天夜晚降临，接着又跃进到白天。如此反复，越来越快。 The second time he pushed the lever he saw: 1.the lab 2.his niece The third time he pushed lever he saw: went hazy moved like a rocket Time skipped again and again, faster and faster. 1.吸了一口气 2.抓紧操纵杆 3.为某人去拿... 4.夜幕降临 5.快速转移到白天 6.

Para. 3 It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute. 时间旅行带来的陌生感和不适感是难以解释的。我感到我好像坐在一部汽车里，飞驰在蜿蜒的道路上。我的速度越来越快，实验室的墙壁随之坍塌，我置身野外。太阳和月亮看起来似乎正被抛向天空，但是很快就有了昼夜之分。环顾四周，我看到树木似青烟升起，不断生长，变得枝繁叶茂，片刻之后枯亡。我看到大楼拔地而起，继而消逝，犹如梦中。地球的整个表面都在变化，在我的眼前熔化、流动。我估算我一分钟要穿越数百年的时间。 1. 在一条蜿蜒的路上 2. 逐渐消失/坍塌 3.在户外 4.昼夜之分 5.缕缕青烟 6.片刻 7.拔地而起/上升 8.似乎/好像 division between night and day puffs of smoke in the open air on a winding road fall away Useful expressions of Para.3 in moments rise up as if/as though Para. 4 I had a strange urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn’t matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air. 我有一种强烈的欲望，想看看眼前那些随机闪现的东西!我已多次考虑过停下时间机器的风险。只要我以最高的速度前进，就不会有什么问题。但是，如果我停下来，同一空间被别的东西占据，我们就会被挤在一起，然后像炸弹一样爆炸!我就像个失去耐心的傻瓜，使劲向后拉了下操纵杆。突然一震，时间机器侧翻了，我被抛向了空中。 The fourth time he pulled the lever he saw: 1.the machin 2.he himself was flipped on its side was thrown through the air. 1.有一种强烈的欲望想做某事 2.以最高的速度前进 3.像炸弹一样爆炸 4.伴随着突然的颠簸/震动 5.侧翻 6.昏迷了一会儿 7....的风险 8.只要 with a sudden joilt have a strong urge to look travel at maximum speed explode like a bomb flip on one’s side be stunned for a moment Useful expressions of Para.4 the risk of doing... as long as/so loge as Para. 5 I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine. “A fine welcome,” I said. “for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!” 我一时惊呆了，然后听到雷声。我坐在雨中的一堆烂泥上，时间机器躺在旁。“对一个穿越了数千年才来到这里的人来说，这欢迎真是别开生面!”我说道。 昏迷了一会儿 be stunned for a moment next to thousands of years 紧挨着在旁边 数千年 the frist he pulled at 10:00 am 1.the laboratory 2.the time as before half past three the second he pulled 1.the lab 2.his niece went hazy moved like a rocket the third he pulled Time skipped again and again, faster and faster. the fourth he pulled 1.the machin 2.he was flipped on its side was thrown through the air What might happen next in the story?

Para.2 When I get to the right time in the right place, I _____________________. Para.3 It feels as if _________________________________________________. 24 Writing Here is my time machine which looks like a drone.With all the shining lights indicating the time I will travel into, my machine can do an awesome job to get me to any place at any time. For me, I want to go back to tell me then that I want to choose more wisely in college, so that I can do better now. When I get to the right time in the right place, I am so obsessed with all the surroundings I was familiar.My teachers, my family and my friends are just like before, which brings me a sense of warmth. Surely I want to stay here forever, enjoying all the vigorous and energetic life as before. It feels as if I never left. I fit quickly into the life here like a fish never rid itself from water. All of this is too real for me; however, I am also aware of my purpose here, which is to find me then and leave me a message to help me choose a better major in college. After I do that, I have to go back to the future. 25 [连句成篇] 参考范文： My time machine looks like a crystal ball with two buttons. One can lead to the prehistoric period and the other one can lead to the future. One day, after I pressed the button to the future, the time machine gave out colourful rays, and carried me into the time tunnel. Overwhelmed with excitement and nervousness, I closed my eyes tightly and held my hands firmly. I wondered what the future city would look like?   26 When I opened my eyes, I arrived in a brand­new floating city, located on a man­made island, which was almost entirely covered in the vegetation. In the city, many strange carriage—like small planes were floating above the ground. When I drove one to visit the city, I felt I went through a beautiful garden. There was a huge tower in the city centre acting both as work place and housing for its citizens. The city used solar, wind and wave power to keep it functioning and used its large gardens to supply food. In this city where robots were easy to see everywhere, people were working busily at a rapid pace and AI, of course, became helpful assistants. After hanging around the city for several hours, the time machine transported me back to reality. It sounds a little fancy but in my opinion, with high technology developing, our society will become more and more intelligent.   27 a last check sat myself in Drawing a breath gripped went hazy mind had tricked me puffs of smoke at maximum speed fell away in the open air spinning had an urge exploded like a bomb a sudden jolt flipped stunned What a fine welcome Todays science fiction is tomorrows science fact. 今天的科幻小说，即明天的科学现实。 Thank You 1.What date do you think it is when the Time Traveller finally stops ? 2.What do you think is different about that time from the time he left ? 3.Who or what do you think the Time Traveller will meet ? 4.What adventures do you think he will have in the future ? 5.Do you think he will ever return to his own time ? Use the following questions to help you continue the story. writing One possible sample of Continued plot The Time Machine hummed as it shot forward, years melting into a golden blur. When it stopped, I stepped out into a world of soft light—trees grew in spirals(螺旋状), their leaves glowing like emeralds(翡翠). The air smelled of honey and ozone(臭氧). Ahead, a river of silver flowed not downward, but upward, twisting into the sky. “Hello?” I called, voice echoing(回荡) through the silent valley. A figure emerged from the mist—a girl, no older than ten, with skin like pale moonlight and hair that shimmered(闪烁) like starlight. She wore a gown(长袍) of woven light, and in her hand, a crystal sphere(水晶球) that pulsed(跳动) gently. “Traveler,” she said, her voice like wind chimes(风铃). “You are far from your time.”I froze. “How do you know I’m from the past?” 时间机器嗡嗡作响，向前疾驰，岁月化作金色的模糊。当它停下来时，我踏出了一片柔和光线的世界——树木呈螺旋生长，树叶像翡翠般发光。空气中弥漫着蜂蜜和臭氧的气味。前方，一条银色的河流不是向下流，而是向上流，蜿蜒进入天空。 “你好吗？”我喊道，声音在寂静的山谷中回荡。一个身影从雾中出现——一个女孩，不超过十岁，皮肤像月光般苍白，头发像星光般闪烁。她穿着一件由光编织的长袍，手中握着一个轻轻跳动的水晶球。 “旅行者，”她说，她的声音像风铃。“你远离你的时代。”我愣住了。“你怎么知道我是从过去来的？” Lavf58.29.100 Bilibili VXCode Swarm Transcoder v0.6.37 Lavf58.20.100 $
