Book information
The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer, set in the final year of the decade-long Trojan War. The story focuses on the wrath of the Greek hero Achilles. After a quarrel with the Greek king Agamemnon, Achilles withdraws from battle, leading to a series of Greek defeats. When his beloved friend Patroclus is killed by the Trojan prince Hector, a grief-stricken Achilles returns to the battlefield to seek revenge. The epic culminates in a dramatic duel between Achilles and Hector, exploring profound themes of heroism, honor, and mortality.
《伊利亚特》是相传由盲诗人荷马创作的古希腊史诗,以持续十年的特洛伊战争为背景。故事聚焦于希腊英雄阿喀琉斯的“愤怒”。因与统帅阿伽门农发生争执,阿喀琉斯拒绝出战,导致希腊联军节节败退。他最亲密的战友帕特罗克洛斯被特洛伊王子赫克托尔杀死后,悲痛欲绝的阿喀琉斯重返战场,最终在一场决斗中杀死赫克托尔,为友复仇。史诗深刻地探讨了英雄主义、荣誉和命运等主题。

Sumarrize the passage in your own words in Chinese.
本文在探讨好书是否能够翻拍成好的电影。通过《奥德赛》《盖茨比》《爱丽丝梦游仙境》对好电影需要好的故事、个性鲜明的人物、令人印象深刻的画面做出反驳,证实通常好书无法翻拍成好的电影。之后通过《哈利波特》《特洛伊》、角色海伦,分别说明了电影无法成为好电影的背后原因有两个:一是时长原因,电影缺少了部分情节细节、角色;二是电影没有达到书迷的期待。最后,作者客观指出,我们应该从电影本身评判。
Language points
1、But the briefest look at books and the movies (base) on them would have anyone (question) this common saying.
based
questioning
主干为the look would have anyone。
base、question 在句中都为动词,做非谓语。be based on 视为被动,填 based; anyone questions this saying 为主动,所以用doing
Language points
2、All too often, great words end up (turn) into cinematic “turkeys”.
being turned
all too often 通常
end up doing以...结束。
words与cinematic turkeys 之间是被动关系,要满足基本结构:be done, 故填being turned
Language points
3、This is somthing even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can’t escape ,with fans of the books disappointed not (see) some of their favourite characters in the movie versions.
that
escape from 逃避...
主干: this is something。escape为动词,故此处为从句,from后缺宾语,指代something,故填that.(定从中,先行词为复合不定代词,指代物只能用that)
from
to see
with复合结构:with+宾语+宾补(adj,非谓语...)be+adj+to do :Fans are disappointed not to see...
Language points
4、The most questionable issue was the actress (choose) to play the part of Helen.
chosen
choose-chose-chosen
主干: The issue was the actress。
actress 与choose之间为被动,用done,做后置定语。
Language points
5、Many people thought she didn’t live up to Helen’s title of “the most beautiful woman in the world”, (influence) opinions of the movie to extent.
influencing
influencing 作为结果状语,逻辑上的主语为前面整句话,表示自然而然/意料之内的结果。
live up to 符合 to some extent在某种程度上
some
Language points
6、Perhaps,one day, readers of F.Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work will find themselves (glue) to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.
glued
glue 胶水,粘合 be glued to 盯着
find复合结构:find +宾语+宾补(adj,n,非谓语)
