由主旨推断引语的含义
文章结尾引用谚语一般是为了突出文章主题,让读者更清晰地理解文章的主旨大意,故谚语的含义应与文章的主题一致。反过来,在推测谚语的含义时,也可借助文章的主旨,如本文讲述的是尼古拉斯·温顿的善行,故该谚语应该与强调善行的意义有关,由此可知本题答案。
(二)阅读表达
1.Why did the parents fear that they would never see their children again?
Because_they_were_Jewish_and_under_the_control_of_the_Nazis.
2.Why do you think it took such a long time for Winton's actions to become known?
Because,for the most part,Winton did not mention the children he saved.Winton might have thought that it was normal to help others when they were in trouble,so it was not worth mentioning.
3.If you were Winton, would you tell your actions to others?
No, I would only do what I thought should be done.

本文属于“人物传记”类文体,采用了倒叙手法介绍背景,然后以时间为线索具体介绍了尼古拉斯·温顿的生平,着重介绍了他的国际主义精神和他对社会的贡献。“人物传记”类文体的阅读技法:
1.抓时间线,理人物生平。根据文中出现的时间关键词,梳理典型事例,理顺人物生平,明晰文章的行文脉络。如本文根据每段的时间词可直接厘清尼古拉斯·温顿的生平:故事背景→温顿早年的经历→温顿在1938到1939年间拯救了669名儿童→温顿在二战期间的工作经历并淡出人们的视野→温顿在1988年上了电视节目后重新被人们关注→温顿获得的荣誉→温顿在2015年去世。
2.分析文中事例,把握人物特点。传记的材料通常比较翔实,是作者从该人物繁杂的经历中选取的典型事例,能集中表现人物的人格特点。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.In Prague, Winton saw people living in terrible conditions and whose lives were in danger.
赏析:本句中的in terrible conditions表明人们的生活条件恶劣;in danger暗示了人们的生命都难以得到保障。句子用词简洁,但分量很重,准确地反映出人们生活在水深火热之中,生活真是不易!
2.A shocked Winton watched as the majority of people rose to their feet.
赏析:shocked 在此意为“震惊的”,暗示了温顿根本没有意识到自己行为的伟大,从侧面映衬了他高尚的品格。
[提能训练]
①(单句语法填空)Everyone in the street was shocked (shock) when they heard the news.
②(完成句子)We should save the endangered animals living in_terrible_conditions.
我们应该拯救生活在恶劣条件下的濒危动物。
(二)赏句式之高
1.These are among the 669 children, most of them Jewish, that Nicholas Winton will go on to save from death at the hands of the Nazis.
赏析:most of them Jewish 是插入的独立主格结构,在句中作状语,补充说明了这669名儿童的身份;that引导的是定语从句,先行词是the 669 children,具体说明了这些孩子是尼古拉斯·温顿即将从纳粹手里解救的人。
2.That all changed in 1988 when his wife Grete found a forgotten journal at home.
赏析:when引导的是定语从句,修饰1988。作者用此句承上启下,对情节进行反转,指出到了1988年,一切都发生了改变。
[提能训练]
①(单句语法填空)It all began in 2020 when my father found a hidden box in his garden.
②(完成句子)These are the 15 volunteers, all_of_them_teenagers,_ that_helped_clean_up_the_park last weekend.
这些就是上周末帮忙打扫公园的15名志愿者,他们都是青少年。
(三)赏描摹之韵(场景描写)
It is August 1939, and a group of frightened children are boarding a train at Prague's Wilson Station. Their heartbroken parents do not join them. Indeed, they fear they may never see their children again. But they know that their children will live.
赏析:此处描写了二战中犹太父母在车站送别孩子的心碎场面。作者没有使用复杂的修辞,而是通过使用精准的形容词和动词让场景充满画面感:frightened写出了被迫独自逃生的孩子们心中的惊恐,heartbroken 则写出了与孩子分离时父母伤心欲绝的心情,fear一词则呈现了对将来不可能再重聚的忧惧。这些词生动重现了战争年代生离死别的一幕,易使读者共情。
(四)赏修辞之功
As the Chinese saying goes, “A kind-hearted person lives a long life.”
赏析:文章的结尾引用了一句中国名言来强调主题,突显文章的立意。以引语、格言或警句结尾不仅能使读者对文章主题留下深刻的印象,还可以增强文章的表达效果和说服力。
[提能训练|翻译并熟记下面的名言警句]
①Union is strength.
团结就是力量。
②As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
俗话说,熟能生巧。
③As the popular Chinese saying goes, “Roads lead to riches.”
正如中国一句流行的谚语所说:_“路能致富。”
