One of Cao Gui’s fellow villagers said, “The high officials are already 16 it. Why should you get involved (参与)?” Cao Gui replied, “Those officials do not take the long view.”
When he met the duke, Cao Gui asked, “What gives you the 17 to fight this battle?” The duke said, “I do not keep food and clothing only for 18 . I share them with others.” Cao Gui replied, “Such small favors cannot reach all the people. They are not enough to win their 19 support.”
The duke said again, “In sacrifices (祭祀) I always follow the proper rules and act sincerely.” Cao Gui answered, “That sincerity is not enough. The spirits (神灵) will not bless you for that.” The duke then said, “In legal cases (诉讼案件), 20 large or small, I always judge according to the real situation.” Cao Gui said, “That shows 21 . On that basis you may fight. Please allow me to go with you.”
The duke agreed. The battle took place at Changshao. When the duke was about to order the attack, Cao Gui said, “Not yet.” After the Qi army had beaten their drums three times, he said, “Now.”
Qi’s army was defeated. The duke wanted to chase them 22 , but Cao Gui again said, “Not yet.” After checking their chariot tracks (车辙) and flags, he said, “Now pursue.”
Later, the duke asked Cao Gui why he had acted that way. “In fighting,” was the reply, “everything depends on the soldiers’ 23 . At the first drumbeat, they are at their 24 . The second 25 it. By the third, they are already exhausted. That was the perfect time for our attack.”
“But a state as powerful as Qi might have set up a trap. Therefore, I looked at the tracks left by their wheels and found them all confused. Then I looked at their flags and saw that they were hanging down. Only then did I give the order to pursue them.”

【导语】本文改编自历史故事《曹刿论战》。讲述了齐国入侵鲁国时,曹刿求见鲁庄公,并在长勺之战中凭借出色的军事才能和对士气的准确把握,助鲁国获胜的故事。
【详解】16.句意:曹刿的一个同乡说道:“那些高官们已经在着手处理这件事了。你何必参与其中呢?”
前文说“曹刿请求见庄公”,后文同乡说“你何必参与其中呢”,说明高官们已经在“参与/着手处理”这件事,他不必去见庄公。应选用getting into,与后文的“get involved”呼应。
17.句意:当曹刿见到庄公时,他问道:“是什么给了你打这一仗的信心?”
后文庄公回答“我不只为自己保留食物衣物,我与他人分享”,说明曹刿问的是庄公凭什么认为自己能打赢仗,也就是“信心”的来源。应选用confidence。
18.句意:庄公说道:“我并非只为自己保留食物和衣物,而是会与他人一同分享。”
前文曹刿问“庄公凭什么有信心打仗”,后文庄公说“我不只...保留食物衣物,我与他人分享”,说明庄公不吝啬,不止为“自己”,主语为I,对应的反身代词是myself
19.句意:曹刿回答道:“这种微不足道的恩惠无法惠及所有人。它们不足以赢得他们的全力支持。”
前文提到“这种小恩惠不能惠及所有人”,因此不足以赢得他们的“全力”支持。应选用full。
20.句意:庄公接着说道:“在诉讼案件中,无论是重大案件还是小案件,我总是根据实际情况来做出裁决。”
根据“large or small”可知,此处是“whether...or...”结构的省略,意为“无论大小”,符合语境。
21.曹刿说:“这体现了公平原则。在此基础上你们可以交战。请允许我与你们一同出战。”
前文提到“案件不论大小,都根据实际情况判定”,体现的是“公平”。应选用fairness。
22.句意:庄公想立刻追击他们,但曹刿又说道:“还不行。”
前文提到“齐军战败”,庄公想要乘胜追击,因此是想“立刻”追击。应选用immediately。
23.句意:“作战时”,对方回答道,“一切都取决于士兵们的士气。第一声鼓响时,他们的战斗力最强。第二声减弱了这种战斗力。到了第三声,他们就已经疲惫不堪了。此时正是我们发起进攻的最佳时机。”
根据“At the first drumbeat...The second...By the third, they are already exhausted.”可知,曹刿论述的是击鼓对士兵“士气”的影响。spirit在此意为“士气”。
24.句意:“作战时”,对方回答道,“一切都取决于士兵们的士气。第一声鼓响时,他们的战斗力最强。第二声减弱了这种战斗力。到了第三声,他们就已经疲惫不堪了。此时正是我们发起进攻的最佳时机。”
后文提到“第三次他们就筋疲力竭了,说明第一次击鼓时士气是“最强的”。应选用strongest。
25.句意:“作战时”,对方回答道,“一切都取决于士兵们的士气。第一声鼓响时,他们的战斗力最强。第二声减弱了这种战斗力。到了第三声,他们就已经疲惫不堪了。此时正是我们发起进攻的最佳时机。”
根据前文“at their strongest”和后文“already exhausted”可知,士气从最强到筋疲力尽,是逐渐衰退的过程,因此第二次击鼓“削弱”了士气。应选用weakens。

Zu Chongzhi was one of the greatest mathematicians in ancient China. He was born during the Northern and Southern dynasties. His family were very talented. They had been studying mathematics and astronomy (天文学) for generations. From a young age. Zu was taught natural science, astronomy, math. philosophy (哲学) and so on. The little boy was interested in all of these subjects, especially in math.
Zu was best known for his calculation of pi. According to historical records, he did all the work using only wooden sticks. It took him lots of time to work out the value—between 3, 1415926 and 3, 1415927. No one at that time was able to calculate it more accurately (准确地) than Zu. The achievement has been recognized around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians have suggested calling pi “Zu Lv (祖率)”. Zu was also known for working out how to calculate the volume (体积) of a sphere (球). He did this with the help of his son Zu Gengzhi. The two recorded their achievement in Zhui Shu. The book was used during the Tang dynasty.
But Zu was successful not only in math; he did a good job in astronomy, too. He worked out that a year should be 365. 24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar. However, government officials at that time did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use after his death, Zu Gengzhi kept on proving that the Daming Calendar was more accurate. Almost ten years later, the new calendar was finally accepted.
Zu was also an inventor. He once made a vehicle that carried a pointer. However the vehicle turned, the pointer always pointed to the South. Zu also invented the 1, 000-li Boat. The boat could travel 100 li (about 60 kilometers) in a day.

The achievement has been recognized around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians have suggested calling pi “Zu Lv (祖率)”. Zu was also known for working out how to calculate the volume (体积) of a sphere (球). He did this with the help of his son Zu Gengzhi. The two recorded their achievement in Zhui Shu. The book was used during the Tang dynasty.

The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use after his death, Zu Gengzhi kept on proving that the Daming Calendar was more accurate. Almost ten years later, the new calendar was finally accepted.
