关注首段;理清时间线
本文是一篇记叙文,采用了倒叙的写作手法。读文时应优先扫读第一段,因为采用倒叙结构的文章通常在第一段交代事件的结局或事件中最突出的问题。关注首段,有利于把握此类文章的主旨。其次,找到事件的起止点,分清哪些内容是倒叙,哪些内容是顺叙,进而理清文章的时间线索,把握行文脉络。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Unfortunately, the cats subsequently developed an appetite for the birds, too.
赏析:本句中的Unfortunately表达了作者的叹惜之意;短语developed an appetite for则风趣、生动地描写了被带来捕鼠的猫却开始捕捉岛上的鸟类的情形。
2.Loose on the island, they did what rabbits do best — they multiplied rapidly and began eating the native vegetation and digging holes, which caused soil erosion.
赏析:本句中用rapidly修饰multiplied,突出了兔子的繁殖速度之快。
3.The cats in consequence turned their attention — and their stomachs — back to the native birds,killing up to 60,000 each year.
赏析:本句中使用了in consequence来表示结果,相比于简单地使用“therefore, so”等更能彰显写作功底。其他可用来灵活表达结果的还有 end up doing, only to do以及therefore doing, thus doing等。
4.So, I am here on Macquarie Island to participate in the programme to tackle this very problem.
赏析:本句中的tackle是“处理,对付”的意思,该词相比于deal with更能强调待处理的问题的难度。
[提能训练|完成句子]
① Unfortunately,_this happy story ended with a sad ending.
遗憾的是,这个快乐的故事结局却比较伤感。
②The scientists made joint efforts, and_in_consequence_they_made_a_great_breakthrough.

③I eagerly unpacked the package, only_to_find_a_broken_book_in_it.
我急切地打开包裹,结果只在里面发现了一本破损的书。
(二)赏修辞之功
But as the saying goes, “While the cat's away, the mice will play.”
赏析:此处引用了谚语“While the cat's away, the mice will play.”说明由于猫从岛上消失后,老鼠开始泛滥成灾。谚语的恰当使用使文章形象生动,富有趣味。
[提能训练|翻译下列谚语]
①When the cat runs on the roofs, the mice dance on the floors.
只要猫上了房,老鼠就在地上忙。
② A year's plan starts with spring.
一年之计在于春。
③Friends may meet, but mountains never greet.
山与山不相会,但人与人总相逢。
(三)赏描摹之韵(环境描写)
Strong winds and stormy seas have helped sculpt its long, thin shape.The green grass and bare rock of its landscape contrast dramatically, giving it a wild and natural beauty.
赏析:此处先用Strong winds and stormy seas描写了海岛的自然环境:充斥着强风和惊涛骇浪;然后用The green grass and bare rock 描写了岛上的景色:绿草和光秃的岩石形成反差巨大的自然景观;最后用wild and natural beauty点评:海岛呈现出一种狂野和天然的美。
漓江位于桂林市区以南,是桂林最重要的自然景观之一,也是中国最美丽的河流之一。江水清澈见底,掩映在两岸碧绿的青山下,恍如一副绝美的画卷。然而,大约20年前,漓江的水质和沿江生态却是另一番景象。采石挖砂、乱砍滥伐、工业废水及生活污水排放等都破坏了漓江以及两岸的生态系统,络绎不绝的游客更是使当地环境进一步恶化。为了守护漓江的生态底色,当地政府采取了一系列措施,打响生态保卫战,最终留住了桂林山水之美。
