本文的语篇类型为说明文。文章为“总—分—总”结构,课文描述了人类进行深海探索时的各种发现,介绍了深海蕴藏的丰富资源,并在尾段部分呼吁人类通过国际合作共同进行深海探秘。阅读时应首先关注文章首段和尾段,快速提取文本传递的关键信息,从而快速了解文章的主旨大意。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Today, some 500 years after the Esmeralda set sail, there is little — if any — land on our planet left unexplored.
赏析:本句中的 little与if any相搭配,强调了我们星球上尚未被探索的土地已是少之又少。
2.However, we are only beginning to overcome the challenges of pressure, darkness and extreme cold at vast depths.
赏析:darkness and extreme cold描写了海洋深处的极端环境,与前面的challenges相呼应。此外,vast 一词写出了海洋的广袤无垠。
3.Being a tough environment of complete darkness, enormous pressure and intense cold, the ocean depths have long been beyond the reach of human exploration.
赏析:本句中的 complete, enormous, intense以及beyond the reach of写出了深海区域环境的恶劣,超出了人类探索所能企及的范围。
①Her eyes stayed fixed on the old photo, showing_little_change_in_expression,_if_any,_for a long while.
她的目光一直停留在那张旧照片上,许久都没有什么表情变化,即便有,也微乎其微。
②Overcoming this difficulty will be a_great_challenge,_but I believe we can succeed with joint efforts.
克服这个困难将是一项巨大的挑战,但我相信通过共同努力我们能够成功。
(二)赏句式之高
In these waters, more than 200 metres deep, where light cannot reach, are extraordinary creatures that appear as if they are straight out of science fiction.
赏析:本句中使用了介词短语置于句首引起的倒装结构,where引导的定语从句,that引导的定语从句及as if引导的方式状语从句,既增加了句式的层次性,彰显了多样化表达,又将各种细节交代得详尽、具体。
In_no_way_can_we overlook the importance of environmental protection.
我们绝不能忽视环境保护的重要性。
(三)赏修辞之功
1.The remaining streets and buildings offer a window into a fascinating period in our history.
赏析:此处运用了比喻的修辞手法,将奈阿波利斯废墟的残垣断壁比作探究过往历史的一个窗口,形象地说明了其存在的价值。
2.Fragments of the past lying deep beneath the oceans are still waiting to be discovered.
赏析:本句中使用了拟人的修辞手法,形象地说明了广袤的海洋深处散落着许多尚待发现的神秘之处。
