[课文对译] 每过四年，成千上万名训练有素、天赋过人的运动员，本着友谊、团结和公平竞争的精神聚集在一起准备互相较量，希望能成为举世公认的顶尖选手。这就是奥运会——一场可以追溯到约3 000年前的非凡的体育赛事。 The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BCE.During the early Games, only Greek men were allowed to participate.They competed in such events as boxing, running and the long jump.The ancient Olympic Games were held at Olympia in Greece every four years for almost 12 centuries, until they eventually died out around the year 393. ① [课文对译] 古代奥林匹克运动会始于公元前776年。早期的奥运会只允许希腊男性参赛。他们的竞赛项目包括拳击、赛跑和跳远。古代奥林匹克运动会每四年在希腊的奥林匹亚举办，持续了近12个世纪，直到公元393年前后才最终停办。 [难句破解]　句①　until引导时间状语从句。 More than 1,500 years later, however, the Games rose again.The modern Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman， Pierre de Coubertin， who brought the Olympics ② back to life. His dream was that the Olympics would help people of different racial origins and ② from different cultures live side by side in peace. For over a century, people from diverse backgrounds have made joint efforts to help realize Coubertin's dream. [课文对译] 然而1 500多年后，奥运会旧火重燃。1896年，第一届现代奥运会在雅典举办。一位名叫皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦的法国人使奥运会重获生机。他的梦想是借助奥运会让不同种族、不同文化的人和平地生活在一起。一个多世纪以来，来自不同背景的人们共同努力，帮助实现顾拜旦的梦想。 [难句破解] 句②　强调句型“It was＋被强调部分＋who ...”强调主语a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin。 句③　that引导表语从句。 Motivated by the original Olympic motto “Faster， Higher， Stronger”， many ④ well-known athletes, both male and female, have devoted themselves to achieving sporting excellence and pushing the boundaries of human achievement.One such Olympian was the boxer Cassius Clay.He came to public attention during the 1960 Rome Olympics， when he won the light ⑤ heavyweight gold medal for the USA， demonstrating great talent and personality in the process.Afterwards, this young man proceeded to become the world heavyweight champion in 1964, and later changed his name to the one we all know — Muhammad Ali.He returned to the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony.By the time he died in 2016, Ali had been recognized as one of the greatest boxers of all time. ⑥ [课文对译] 在原先的奥运口号“更快、更高、更强”的激励下，许多著名的男女运动员致力于在体育运动方面追求卓越，突破人类成就的极限。拳击手卡修斯·克莱就是这样一名奥运会选手。他在1960年罗马奥运会上引起了公众的关注。当时，他为美国赢得了轻重量级拳击金牌，并在比赛过程中展现了极高的天赋和优秀的品格。后来，这位年轻人又在1964年成为世界重量级拳击冠军，之后将名字改成了我们耳熟能详的穆罕默德·阿里。1996年，他重返亚特兰大奥林匹克运动会，在开幕式上点燃了奥运火炬。在2016年过世前，阿里已被公认为有史以来最伟大的拳击手之一。 [难句破解] 句④　Motivated by the original Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger”为过去分词短语作状语。 句⑤　when引导定语从句，修饰先行词 the 1960 Rome Olympics；demonstrating great talent and personality in the process为现在分词短语作状语。 句⑥　By the time后跟表示过去的时间状语从句，主句用过去完成时。 Another sportsperson that should be applauded is Jessica Ennis-Hill.Her story is a remarkable example of how hard work and devotion can lead to sporting excellence. A former track and field ⑦ athlete from the UK, she won an Olympic gold medal in her home country in 2012. As if that were ⑧ not enough , she returned to the Olympics and won a silver medal in 2016, just two years after giving birth to her first child. In an interview she revealed that the secret of her consistent good ⑨ performance was the training that she never missed. [课文对译] 另一位值得称赞的运动员是杰西卡·恩尼斯－希尔。她的故事为我们出色地示范了如何通过勤奋和专注取得优异的体育成绩。作为一名前英国田径运动员，2012年，她在自己的祖国赢得了一块奥运金牌。但是她仿佛认为那还不够，2016年，在生下第一个孩子仅仅两年后，她又重返奥运赛场并斩获一块银牌。她在采访中透露，自己始终如一良好表现的秘诀在于从来不缺席训练。 [难句破解] 句⑦　how引导宾语从句，作介词of的宾语。 句⑧　as if引导方式状语从句，从句中使用了虚拟语气。 句⑨　第一个that 引导宾语从句；第二个that引导定语从句。 The 2008 Beijing Olympics called on the whole world to join in the Olympic spirit and build a better future for humanity with the slogan “One World, One Dream”．In addition to hosting the Olympics for the first time, China also ranked first in the medal table.This success is truly remarkable if you consider that just 24 years before, at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Xu Haifeng won our country's first-ever gold medal.Since then the upward trend for Chinese sport has been unstoppable.At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles， while at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the Chinese ⑩ women's volleyball team won a hard-fought victory in the final.Another historic moment for China came when Beijing successfully hosted the 2022 Winter Olympics after winning the election in 2015. [课文对译] 2008年北京奥运会以“同一个世界，同一个梦想”为口号，号召全世界共享奥运精神，为人类共建美好未来。中国不仅是第一次举办奥运会，更是在奖牌榜上位列第一。这份成功着实令人瞩目，考虑到仅仅24年前，许海峰才在1984年洛杉矶奥运会上为我们国家摘得了史上第一块金牌。从那时起，中国体育的上升势头就不可阻挡了。2004年雅典奥林匹克运动会上，刘翔成为亚洲赢得男子110米跨栏金牌的第一人，而在2016年里约热内卢奥林匹克运动会上，中国女子排球队在决赛中艰苦作战取得了胜利。2015年北京赢得了冬季奥运会的主办权并于2022年成功举办了该届冬季奥运会，对于中国来说，这又是一个历史性的时刻。 [难句破解] 句⑩　to win the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles 为不定式短语作定语，修饰the first Asian。 The Olympic Games bring joy and excitement to people across the world. Coubertin ⑪ believed， “With the Olympic Games, each generation celebrates its advent, its joy of living, its faith in the future, its ambition and its will to ascend.” [课文对译] 奥林匹克运动会给全世界人民带来了喜悦和激动。正如顾拜旦所信奉的：“有了奥林匹克运动会，每一代人都能庆祝他们的到来、他们生活的喜悦、他们对未来的信念、他们的雄心，以及他们进取的决心。” [难句破解]　句⑪　as引导非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句。 课文2　Sports idioms　(体育习语) Every language has its idioms, which are groups of words with meanings different from the ① meanings of the individual words. Idioms make language more colourful and expressive.Since sport is an inseparable part of day-to-day life, there are lots of sports idioms that have found their ② way into everyday language.Let's take a look at some of them! [课文对译] 每种语言都有自己的习语。习语是一组词汇，它的意思不同于每个单独的词。习语让语言更为丰富多彩、更具表现力。由于体育运动是日常生活中不可缺失的一部分，许多体育习语也已融入人们的日常语言。让我们来看看其中几个吧！ [难句破解] 句①　which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词idioms。 句②　Since引导原因状语从句；主句为there be 句型，其中that 引导定语从句，修饰先行词 sports idioms。 Football Football (or soccer, as it is called in the USA) is one of the most popular sports in the world and many countries have their own football leagues.The English language is full of idioms which are thought to have come from football. As you know, in a football match, players try to kick or head the ball into the opposing team's ③ goal, which is the net between two big goalposts fixed to the ground. Can you imagine that every time you have a chance to score， the goalposts are moved? That would be not only difficult, but ④ also upsetting.If someone “moves the goalposts” in everyday life, it means they unfairly change the rules or requirements for something.An insurance salesman who is about to reach his annual sales target, only for the company to make the target higher, could rightly complain about the company moving the goalposts. [课文对译] 足球 足球(football，在美国又叫soccer)，是世界上最受欢迎的体育运动之一，许多国家都有自己的足球联赛。英语中有许多习语被认为源自足球。 如你所知，在一场足球比赛中，球员们试图将球踢进或顶进对方球队的球门，也就是固定在地上的两根粗大门柱之间的那张球门网。你能想象，每次你有机会进球时，门柱却被移动了吗？那样的情形不仅难以应对，而且令人沮丧。如果在日常生活中有人move the goalposts(移动门柱)，意味着这些人不公正地改变了某件事情的规则或要求。如果一位保险销售员就快达到年度销售目标了，而公司却在这时提高了销售目标，那么他就可以正当地抱怨公司move the goalposts。 [难句破解] 句③　As引导非限制性定语从句；which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词goal；fixed to the ground为过去分词短语作定语修饰 two big goalposts。 句④　every time引导时间状语从句。 Thankfully, goalposts do not really move — but when a player scores an own goal, he or she might wish they did.“Scoring an own goal” in football means accidentally kicking or heading the ⑤ ball into one's own net, and it is one of the worst things that can happen to a football player. If ⑥ someone makes a bad mistake which unintentionally harms their own interests， they are said to have scored an own goal. You might see this expression in the newspapers when the local council makes a decision which backfires terribly! [课文对译] 谢天谢地，门柱并不会真的移动——但是当一名球员score an own goal(进乌龙球)时，他或她说不定会希望球门真能移动。在足球中，进乌龙球的意思是不小心将球踢进或顶进了自己队的球门，而这是一名球员所能遇到的最糟糕的情况之一。如果有人犯下了无意中损害自身利益的严重错误，那么人们就会说，这样的人是在进乌龙球。如果地方议会作出了一项决策，结果却适得其反，那么你也许就会在报纸上看到这个说法！ [难句破解] 句⑤　为and连接的并列句。第一个分句中“Scoring an own goal” in football为动名词短语作主语，谓语动词用单数；第二个分句中that引导定语从句，修饰先行词one of the worst things。 句⑥　If 引导条件状语从句；which引导定语从句，修饰先行词 a bad mistake；主句中they are said to have scored an own goal为“sb.be said to do ...”句型，意为“据说……”。 Baseball Baseball is an old and popular sport that has given the English language many different idioms.You might have heard expressions like “in the ballpark” or “a ballpark estimate”．The venue where a baseball game is played is called a ballpark.So, even if we do not know exactly where the ball is during the game， we can assume that it is somewhere in the ballpark.For this ⑦ reason, people use the expression “in the ballpark” or “a ballpark estimate” to talk about rough estimates. [课文对译] 棒球 棒球是一项古老而广受欢迎的体育运动，它也为英语提供了许多不同的习语。你也许听过in the ballpark(在棒球场里)或是a ballpark estimate(一个棒球场的估计)这样的说法。进行棒球比赛的场地被称为棒球场(ballpark)。因此，即便我们在棒球比赛中并不知道球的准确位置，我们仍然可以认定它就在球场内的某处。为此，人们会用in the ballpark或者a ballpark estimate这样的说法来谈论粗略的估计。 [难句破解] 句⑦　even if引导让步状语从句，从句中又含有where引导的宾语从句；主句中含有that引导的宾语从句。 Another common baseball expression is “throwing someone a curveball”．Curveballs are balls that suddenly turn in the air, and these are of course difficult for the other team to handle.We use this expression to describe things that are unexpected and difficult to respond to.“Three strikes and you are out” is another idiom that comes from baseball.As it suggests, in baseball this means that a batter (the person with the baseball bat in his or her hands) is out after making three unsuccessful attempts to hit the ball.This idiom is often used to talk about situations where people ⑧ fail after wasting three chances. [课文对译] 另一个常见的棒球相关说法是throw someone a curveball(给某人扔一个曲线球)。曲线球(curveball)是指能在空中突然转向的球，而这种球必然会让对方球队难以应付。我们用这个说法来形容那些出乎意料又难以应对的事情。three strikes and you are out(三振出局)是另一个来自棒球的习语。正如字面意思所说，三振出局在棒球运动中指的是击球手(手持棒球球棒的人)如果连续三次未能击中，就会出局。这个习语经常用于谈论某人错失三次良机后失败的情况。 [难句破解] 句⑧　where引导定语从句，修饰先行词situations。 Boxing English also has a large number of idioms connected with boxing， which has been a popular ⑨ sport for thousands of years. A boxer is not allowed to use his or her fists to hit the opponent below the waist.Hence comes the idiom “below the belt”．In day-to-day life, if someone makes an unfair and cruel remark, we can describe it as “below the belt”． “Throwing in the towel” is another common idiom that comes from boxing.When a boxer is losing badly and is too tired or confused to give up on his or her own, the coach will literally throw a towel into the ring to end the fight.In everyday life, this idiom simply means admitting defeat and giving up. [课文对译] 拳击 英语中也有大量习语与拳击有关，这是一项数千年来一直很受欢迎的运动。拳击手不允许用拳头击打对手腰部以下的部位。因此有了 below the belt(腰部以下，意为不正当的、伤人的)这个习语。在日常生活中，如果有人发表了有失公允的刻薄评论，我们就可以形容这种评论是below the belt。 throw in the towel(扔毛巾)是另一个来自拳击的常用习语。当一名拳击手输得很惨，并且因太过疲惫或思维太混乱而无法自己宣告放弃时，教练就会真的扔一条毛巾到擂台上，示意结束对抗。在日常生活中，这个习语就是“承认失败，放弃”的意思。 [难句破解] 句⑨　connected with boxing为过去分词短语作定语，修饰idioms；which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词boxing。 Sport is challenging and so is life.However, when you are thrown a curveball, do not throw in the towel —work hard， be careful not to score an own goal， and you are sure to make it！ [课文对译] 体育运动充满了挑战，生活同样也是如此。然而，当你接到一个曲线球时，不要放弃——努力奋斗，注意别进乌龙球，你就一定会成功！ [难句破解] 句　为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”句型。 三、词汇记忆无诀窍，适时“回首”记得牢 1．solidarity n．　　　　　　 团结，齐心协力 2．BCE abbr. 公元前 3．participate vi.　　　　　 参加，参与 搭配|participate in 参加，参与 4．compete vi. 参加比赛；竞争 拓展 5．racial adj. 种族的；种族间的 6．diverse adj. 多种多样的，不同的 同义|all kinds of, different 7．joint adj. 联合的，共同的 n. 关节；接合处 8．motivate vt. 激励，激发；成为……的动机，是……的原因 搭配|motivate sb.to do sth. 　 激励某人做某事 9．motto n. 格言，座右铭 10．boundary n. 边界，分界线 11．demonstrate vt. 表现，表露；证实，证明；示范，演示 vi. 游行示威 12．afterwards adv. 以后，后来 13．proceed vi. 接着做，继而做；继续从事 (或进行)；行进，前往 14．flame n. 火焰，火舌 15．applaud vt.& vi. 称赞，赞许；鼓掌 16．track and field 田径运动 17．consistent adj. 一致的，始终如一的；连续的 搭配|be consistent with ... 　　 与……一致 18．call on sb.to do sth. 正式邀请某人做某事；请求某人做某事 19．humanity n. 人，人类；人性；人道，仁慈 20．rank vi.& vt. 属于某等级，把……分等级；排列，使排成行 n. 地位，级别；等级；排，列；军衔 21．trend n. 趋势，趋向 22．hurdle n. 跨栏赛；栏架；障碍 23．election n. 选举，推选；当选 24．advent n. 到来，出现 25．faith n. 信心；宗教信仰 26．ambition n. 追求的目标，夙愿；野心，雄心，壮志 27．ascend vi.&vt. 上升，升高，登高 28．identical adj. 完全同样的 反义|different 29．fellow adj. 同伴的，同情况的，同类的 n. 同辈，同类；男人，家伙 30．relay n. 接力赛 vt. 转发(信息、消息等)；播放，转播 31．chest n. 胸部；大箱子 32．cheek n. 面颊，脸颊 33．half-marathon n. 半程马拉松赛跑 34．amateur n. 业余运动员，业余爱好者；生手，外行 adj. 业余的 35．ankle n. 踝，踝关节 36．gradually adv. 逐渐地，逐步地 37．session n. 一段时间，一场；会议，开庭；学年 38．limit n. 限度，限制；限量，限额；界限 vt. 限制，限定；限量，减量 拓展 39．marathon n. 马拉松赛跑；马拉松式的活动(或工作) 40．chairman n.

Then something happened.Lily's teammate passed her the ball.She caught it and dribbled toward the goal.The atmosphere on the field became intense.Amazingly, the opposing team did not block her.She shot.She scored! We all went wild and cheered.Lily gave her teammates five, held her arms high and rushed to us to share her joy. 这是一场势均力敌的足球比赛，两队都没有进球。然后情况发生了变化。莉莉的队友把球传给了她。她接住球，运球冲向球门。球场上的气氛变得紧张起来。令人惊奇的是，对方球队没能阻挡下她。她射门了。她进球了！我们都欣喜若狂。莉莉和她的队友击掌，高举双臂冲向我们分享她的喜悦。 语段2　拼搏精神 Tom was trying his best to run and the other runners were trying to keep up with him.All the viewers stood up, and started cheering for them.Suddenly，Tom fell down and his left leg was bleeding.One after the other, the runners overtook him.We thought he would give up the race.But he struggled to stand up and strained to run forward as fast as he could.All the viewers present at the race were moved by his fighting spirit. 汤姆正在尽力奔跑，其他的运动员也在全力追赶他。所有的观众都站起来，开始为他们欢呼。突然，汤姆摔倒了，左腿流血不止。运动员一个接一个地超过了他。我们以为他会放弃比赛。但他挣扎着站起来，拼命向前跑。所有在场的观众都被他的拼搏精神所感动。 五、主题集群阅读，拓展主题认知 时尚悦读　成功之路 Near the small town of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry's grandfather to the woods nearby.A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen's grandfather built a ① simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. Like his father, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court.He probably didn't realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player.You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way.The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions.Knowing where the ball would go wasn't easy.He had to adjust his own playing style ② as a result.Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt.Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket.In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. Despite his father's successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father's footsteps.But Stephen carried on.Playing basketball was his dream.He would not give up. He finally ended up playing college ball at a small, little known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived.His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson's star player Selected for ③ the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors.He performed beyond everyone's expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts.In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game ...What I wanted to do was just be myself ...I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better.You've got to be able to put in the time and the work.That's how I got here.That's how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become .Through self-belief, hard work, ④ perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible. [难句破解] 句①　it was ...that ...是强调句型，强调的是地点状语along this road。 句②　Knowing where the ball would go是动词-ing短语作主语。where the ball would go 为 where引导的宾语从句。 句③　“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，宾语补足语为名词短语Davidson's star player。 句④　that引导同位语从句，具体解释proof的内容。在从句中第一个what引导主语从句，第二个what引导宾语从句。 [助读译文] 在弗吉尼亚州的格罗托斯小镇附近，一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里的祖父家延伸至附近的树林。这与美国男子职业篮球联赛(NBA)赛场上明亮的灯光和闪亮的球场相去甚远。正是在这条路上，斯蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料贴到电线杆上，建了一个简易篮筐。 与父亲戴尔·库里这位篮球明星一样，斯蒂芬的许多童年时光都是在这个土篮球场上度过的。尽管当时他可能并没有意识到，但就是在这里，他学会了如何成为一名有创造力、能够灵活变通的篮球运动员。你瞧，每次投篮，不牢固的塑料篮板都摇摇欲坠。篮筐下的小路凹凸不平，布满了石块，篮球也因此弹向四面八方。能够判断出球反弹的方向并不容易，因此斯蒂芬必须调整自己的打球方式。他在这里学到的另一项技能是精准的投篮技术。只有完美地瞄准中心，篮球才能进入厚重的篮筐。如此日复一日地练习，斯蒂芬的篮球技术变得炉火纯青。 尽管父亲的职业生涯很成功，但是斯蒂芬的高中队友和教练等很多人都认为他太矮太瘦弱，无法延续他父亲的荣耀。但斯蒂芬继续坚持打球。打篮球是他的梦想，他绝不会放弃。终于，斯蒂芬在规模不大且鲜为人知的戴维森学院成为一名大学篮球赛的球员，这所学院离他家不算远。斯蒂芬凭借自己的创造性和毅力成为戴维森学院的明星球员。 2009年，斯蒂芬入选NBA，加入了金州勇士队。凭借精准的投篮和不懈的努力，他的表现令人刮目相看。2015年，斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军，这也是他带领勇士队获得的自1975年以来的第一个冠军。 在连续两年获得“最有价值球员”奖后，斯蒂芬阐释了他的人生观：“我从未真正想过改变比赛……我只想做我自己……我知道这激励着很多后辈、很多热爱篮球比赛的人，让他们认识到技术的重要性，认识到你可以通过每天的不断努力而变得更好。你必须肯花时间和精力。这是我走到今天的方法，也是我每一天都能更进一步的原因。”斯蒂芬·库里激励着所有人去相信自己，他也生动地证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么人。通过自信、勤奋、毅力，以及一只旧篮筐的帮助，他向人们证明了一切皆有可能。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
