[1]It was the first time that she had left China. “I was very excited but also quite nervous. I didn't know [2]what to expect，” Xie Lei recalled④． [1]本句使用了“It was the first/second/...time (that)...”句型，意为“这是第一/二/……次……”，从句谓语用过去完成时。 [2]此处是“特殊疑问词＋动词不定式”结构，作know的宾语。 返回导航 Xie Lei is studying for a business qualification⑤ at a university in China and has come to our university on a year-long exchange programme⑥. “I chose the exchange programme [3]because I wanted to learn about global business and improve my English. My ambition⑦ is to set up⑧ a business in China after graduation，” she explained. [3]此处是because引导的原因状语从句。 返回导航 At first, Xie Lei had to adapt to⑨ life in a different country.“You have to get used to⑩ a whole new life，” she said. “I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn't know the English names for. When I got lost⑪， I had to ask passers-by for help⑫， but people here speak fast and use words I'm not familiar with⑬. I ask them to repeat themselves a lot！” 返回导航 [4]Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation, Xie Lei chose to live with a host family, [5]who can help with her adaptation⑭ to the new culture. “When I miss home, I feel comforted⑮ to have a second family，” Xie Lei said.“When there's something [6]I don't know or understand, I can ask them. They are also keen to⑯ learn about China. Laura, [7]the daughter of my host family, wants to study in China in the future. We take turns to⑰ cook each evening. They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs! [4]此处是although引导的让步状语从句。 [5]此处是who引导的非限制性定语从句。 [6]此处是定语从句，修饰先行词something，省略了关系词that。 [7]此处作Laura的同位语。 返回导航 [8]Laura says she always feels hungry when she smells it, so I taught her how to cook it, too.” [8]本句是so连接的并列复合句。says后是省略了that的宾语从句；宾语从句中又包含了when引导的时间状语从句；“how to cook it”为“特殊疑问词＋动词不定式”结构，作taught的直接宾语。 返回导航 Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements⑱. The first time that she had to write an essay, her tutor⑲ explained that she must acknowledge⑳ what other people had said if she cited㉑ their ideas, but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to㉒ read lots of information in order to㉓ form a wise opinion of her own. 返回导航 Xie Lei also found many courses included students' participation㉔ in class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, and raise questions, as well as give presentations㉕. At first㉖， Xie Lei had no idea what she should say, but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up㉗ in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success㉘， [9]which boosted my confidence㉙，” she said. “I'll use these skills back home for presentations. They'll help me build a strong business in the future.” [9]此处是which引导的非限制性定语从句，which指代整个主句的内容。 返回导航 Now halfway through㉚ her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more at home㉛ in the UK. [10]What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. “[11]Engaging㉜ in British culture has helped，” she said. “As well as㉝ studying hard, I've been involved㉞ in social activities. British people are fascinated by㉟ our culture and eager to㊱ learn more about it, so I'm keen to share my culture with them. [12]While I'm learning about business, I'm also acting as㊲ a cultural messenger㊳ building a bridge between us.” [10]此处是what引导的主语从句，what在从句中作主语。 [11]此处是动词-ing短语作主语。 [12]本句中while是并列连词，用于连接两个分句，意为“同时、另一方面、而且”；现在分词短语building a bridge between us作后置定语，修饰a cultural messenger。 返回导航 We will follow Xie Lei's progress in later editions㊴， but for now, we wish her all the best㊵． 返回导航 原文翻译 “欢迎你，谢蕾！”搭建文化交流桥梁的商科学生 六个月前，19岁的谢蕾告别她的家人和朋友，登上了飞往伦敦的班机。这是她第一次离开中国。谢蕾回忆道，“我很激动，也很紧张，不知道会发生什么。” 谢蕾正在中国一所大学攻读商科，来我们学校参加为期一年的交流项目。她解释道，“之所以选择这个交流项目，是因为我想了解全球商务，并提高我的英语水平。我的目标是毕业后在中国创办一家企业。” 返回导航 起初，谢蕾不得不去适应异国他乡的生活。“你必须习惯一种全新的生活。”她说，“我得学会如何使用公共交通，学会如何询问我不知道英文名称的东西。迷路时，我得向路人求助，但是这里的人讲话语速很快，而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我老是让他们重复！” 虽然一些留学生住在学校宿舍，但是谢蕾选择住在寄宿家庭，家庭成员有助于她适应新的文化。“有第二个家，想家时我会得到些安慰，”谢蕾说，“当我有不知道或不理解的事情时，我可以咨询他们。他们也很渴望了解中国。我的房东的女儿劳拉将来想到中国求学。我们每晚轮流做饭，他们真的很爱吃我做的番茄炒蛋！劳拉说，每次闻到它的香味，她都感到饥肠辘辘，于是我教了她如何做这道菜。” 返回导航 谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学术要求。她第一次写论文时，她的导师解释说，如果她引用他人的观点就必须要注明，不过导师主要是想了解她本人的观点！谢蕾困惑不解，因为她觉得自己没有别人懂得多。她的导师建议她广泛阅读文献，形成自己睿智的观点。 谢蕾还发现，很多课程都把学生的课堂参与作为最终成绩的一部分。学生需要提出想法、举例子、应用概念、并且提出问题，还要做展示。刚开始，谢蕾不知道她该说些什么，但令她惊喜的是，仅仅几周后，她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。“我的中国传统艺术展示非常成功，这增强了我的自信心。”她说，“回国后，我会将这些技能运用到展示中，它们将帮助我在未来打造一家强大的企业。” 返回导航 一年的交换生生涯现已过半，谢蕾感觉在英国过得轻松自如多了。以前看似奇怪的事情现在对她来说显得十分平常了。“融入英国文化很有帮助，”她说，“努力学习之余，我还参加了一些社交活动。英国人对我们的文化十分着迷，并且渴望了解更多的中国文化，因此我也乐于同他们分享。在我攻读商科的同时，我也充当着文化使者的角色，在中外文化之间架起一座桥梁。” 我们会在随后的几期中跟踪报道谢蕾的进展情况，但现在，我们祝她一切顺利。 返回导航 教材原文助读4 第二部分 25 词汇积累 读文清障 文本助解释疑 ①in the past few decades在过去的几十年里 ②dramatic [drə'mætIk] adj.巨大的；突然的；急剧的；戏剧(般)的 a dramatic increase急剧增长 drama n．戏剧 dramatically adv.急剧地 ③the number of ……的数量 a number of许多的，大量的 返回导航 ④to begin with首先；第一 ⑤expense [Ik'spens] n．费用；花费；开销 living expenses生活费用 ⑥end up (尤指经历一系列意外后)最后处于(某种境地)，到头来　 ⑦cost an arm and a leg(使)花一大笔钱 ⑧tremendous [trə'mendəs] adj.巨大的；极大的 ⑨limited language skills有限的语言技能 ⑩culture shock文化冲击；文化冲突 ⑪behave [bI'heIv] vt.表现 vi.& vt.表现得体；有礼貌 behaviour n．行为 返回导航 ⑫surroundings [sə'raʊndIŋz] n．[pl.]环境；周围的事物 surrounding [sə'raʊndIŋ] adj.周围的；附近的 surround v．围绕，环绕 ⑬mature [mə'tʃʊə(r)；-'tjʊə(r)]adj.成熟的 ⑭handle the challenges应对挑战 ⑮depressed [dI'prest] adj.沮丧的；意志消沉的 depress [dI'pres] vt.使沮丧；使忧愁　 depressing adj.令人沮丧的 depression n．沮丧 返回导航 ⑯encounter problems with personal safety遭遇个人安全问题 ⑰in addition此外；而且 in addition to除……之外 ⑱approaches to... ……的方法(to是介词) ⑲come as a shock to...令……震惊 ⑳look forward to期待，期盼 ㉑boom [buːm] vi.& n.迅速发展；繁荣 返回导航 ㉒significantly adv.显著地 significant adj.重要的；意义重大的；显著的 significance n．重要性；意义 ㉓contribute to引起；导致；有助于 ㉔strengthen ['streŋθn] vi.& vt.加强；增强；巩固 strength n．力量，力气；优点 strong adj.强壮的；强烈的 strongly adv.强烈地 ㉕to sum up总而言之，总之 ㉖deny [dI'naI] vt.否认；否定；拒绝 返回导航 ㉗in one's opinion在某人看来 ㉘optimistic [ˌɒptI'mIstIk] adj.乐观的 be/remain optimistic about...对……乐观 optimism n．乐观；乐观主义 optimist n．乐观主义者 ㉙be willing to do sth.愿意做某事 ㉚gain [ɡeIn] vt.获得；赢得；取得；增加 n．好处；增加 ㉛for example例如 ㉜deal with all kinds of difficulties 处理各种各样的困难 返回导航 ㉝perspective [pə'spektIv] n.(思考问题的)角度；观点 ㉞competence ['kɒmpItəns] n．能力；胜任；本领 competent ['kɒmpItənt] adj.有能力的；称职的 ㉟envoy ['envɔI] n．使者；使节；代表 ㊱promote friendship between nations促进国与国之间的友谊 ㊲cooperate [kəʊ'ɒpəreIt] vi.合作；协作；配合 cooperate with...与……合作 cooperation n．合作；协作 返回导航 ㊳angle ['æŋɡl] n．角；角度；立场 ㊴insight n．洞悉；深入了解 ㊵outlook ['aʊtlʊk] n．前景；可能性；观点 ㊶belt [belt] n．腰带；地带 ㊷initiative [I'nIʃətIv] n.倡议；新方案 the Belt and Road Initiative“一带一路”倡议 ㊸make connections取得联系 ㊹a global perspective全球视角 返回导航 ㊺strong cultural awareness强烈的文化意识 ㊻in turn反过来；依次，轮流 ㊼all in all总之，总而言之 ㊽life-changing adj.改变人生的 ㊾sincerely [sIn'sIəli] adv.真诚地；诚实地 sincere adj.真诚的；诚实的 返回导航 读文清障 STUDYING ABROAD：IS IT A GOOD OR A BAD IDEA? Dear Editor， In the past few decades①， there has been a dramatic② increase in the number of③ people [1]studying abroad. [2]Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater. [1]此处是动词-ing短语作后置定语，修饰people。 [2]本句中“Although studying abroad can bring great benefits”是although引导的让步状语从句，其中动词-ing短语studying abroad作主语；think后是省略了that的宾语从句。 返回导航 To begin with④， many students [3]who study abroad face great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just [4]not possible for everyone. Tuition fees and living expenses⑤ are much higher than at home and could end up⑥ costing most families an arm and a leg⑦. [5]Studying in China is much more convenient and can help save money. [3]此处是who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词many students。 [4]此处是部分否定。 [5]此处是动词-ing短语作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。 返回导航 Another important factor to consider is the tremendous⑧ pressure [6]that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn [7]how to live in an unfamiliar environment with limited language skills⑨. Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock⑩ [8]when learning how to behave⑪ in new surroundings⑫. Other students are not mature⑬ enough to handle the challenges⑭ by themselves and may become depressed⑮. Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety⑯. In addition⑰， different approaches to⑱ teaching and learning may come as a shock to⑲ many students. [6]此处是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the tremendous pressure, that在从句中作主语，不可省略。 [7]此处是“特殊疑问词＋动词不定式”结构，在句中作learn的宾语。 [8]此处是when引导的时间状语从句的省略；“how to behave...surroundings”作learning的宾语。 返回导航 [9]A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to⑳！ [10]As China has boomed㉑， the educational environment has improved significantly㉒， [11]with many great universities now available. [9]本句中that引导表语从句；while引导让步状语从句；助动词does意为“的确、确实”，对从句的谓语动词have进行强调；who引导定语从句，修饰先行词young people。 [10]此处是as引导的时间状语从句，意为“随着”。 [11]此处是with复合结构“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语(形容词)”，在句中作状语。 返回导航 They have great facilities and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people [12]who will contribute to㉓ the economy and further strengthen㉔ our country． [12]此处是who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词young people。 返回导航 [13]To sum up㉕， one cannot deny㉖ the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages, so when you think about studying abroad, you should consider these many factors. [13]本句中that引导同位语从句，解释说明the fact的具体内容；so是并列连词，连接了两个并列句；when引导时间状语从句。 Kind regards， Wang Li(mother of twin girls) 返回导航 Dear Editor， Is studying abroad a good idea or not? There are certainly disadvantages, but in my opinion㉗， the advantages are much greater. As I always tell my son, there are no great difficulties for a person [14]who is brave, optimistic㉘， and willing to㉙ work hard! [14]此处是who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a person, who在从句中作主语。 返回导航 The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth. The education [15]you gain㉚ and the experiences you have will change you for the better. For example㉛， you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal with all kinds of difficulties㉜ by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective㉝ and improve your general competence㉞． [15]you gain与you have是两个省略关系代词的定语从句，分别修饰The education和the experiences。 返回导航 Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoys㉟[16]promoting friendship between nations㊱. International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here. [17]Cooperating㊲ with people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles㊳ and thus gives us more insight㊴ into our own culture. [16]此处是动词-ing短语作定语，修饰cultural envoys。 [17]此处是动词-ing短语作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。 返回导航 Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland. China's global outlook㊵， with projects such as the Belt㊶ and Road Initiative㊷， has helped us make connections㊸ across the world. Therefore, China needs more talented young people [18]with a global perspective㊹ who are highly competent with languages, have leadership and organisational skills, and have strong cultural awareness㊺. Students [19]who study abroad will develop such skills and abilities, and these in turn㊻ will provide them with better career opportunities. [18]此处是介词短语作定语，修饰young people。 [19]此处是who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词Students。 返回导航 All in all㊼， studying abroad helps to build character and increase people's understanding of cultural diversity [20]while strengthening China and building a shared future for all. I think this life-changing㊽ experience is certainly worthwhile, and I hope my child will study abroad in the future. [20]此处是状语从句的省略。 Sincerely㊾ yours， Zhang Yi (father of one boy) 返回导航 原文翻译 留学：这是一个好主意，还是一个坏主意？ 尊敬的编辑： 在过去的几十年里，留学人数急剧增长。尽管留学大有裨益，但我认为，留学对于年轻人来说是弊大于利。 首先，许多留学生面临着巨大的经济压力。那意味着并非每个人都有留学的可能。国外的学费和生活开销比国内高得多，大多数家庭最终可能会花费一大笔钱。而在中国读书则更加方便，还能有助于省钱。 返回导航 需要考虑的另一个重要因素是留学所带来的巨大压力。学生必须学会如何靠有限的语言技能在一个陌生的环境中生活。在学习如何在新环境中举止得体时，有些学生可能会感到吃力，并遭受文化冲击。另一些学生还不够成熟，无法独自应对各种挑战，可能会变得沮丧。有些学生甚至会遭遇人身安全问题。此外，不同的教学方式可能会让很多学生感到震惊。 返回导航 最后要考虑的一点是：尽管留学的确有诸多潜在的益处，但是年轻人在中国读书同样未来可期！随着中国的蓬勃发展，教育环境已大为改观，优秀大学比比皆是。它们有先进的设施和杰出的教授，这些都有助于培养年轻人，他们将对经济做出贡献，从而使我们的国家更加强大。 综上所述，我们无法否认留学有其弊端，所以当你考虑出国留学时，应当考虑上述诸多因素。 谨致问候！ 王丽(一对双胞胎女孩的母亲) 返回导航 尊敬的编辑： 留学是一个好主意还是坏主意呢？留学当然有弊端，但我认为利大于弊。我时常告诫我儿子，对勇敢、乐观、愿意拼搏的人来说，世上无难事！ 留学的第一个好处就是个人成长。你所获得的教育和所拥有的经历将有助于你提升自我。例如，由于你需要独自应对各种困难，你一定会变得更加独立。留学还有助于你获得全球视野，提升综合能力。 返回导航 留学的另一个好处是获得更多文化交流的机会。中国留学生可被视为增进国家间友谊的文化使者。在华的外国留学生也带来他们自己丰富多彩的文化。与来自不同文化背景的人合作有助于我们从不同视角看待世界，进而让我们对自己的文化有更深入的了解。 最后，留学是为祖国的发展作出贡献的一个好机会。中国“一带一路”倡议等项目的全球前景帮助我们与世界建立联系。因此，中国需要更多有才能、有国际视野、语言能力极强、具有领导力和组织能力、拥有强烈文化意识的年轻人。海外留学的学生能够培养这类技能，而这些技能反过来又将为他们带来更好的就业机会。 返回导航 总而言之，留学有助于塑造品格，增进人们对文化多样性的理解，同时增强中国实力，打造人类命运共同体。我认为这改变一生的经历当然是值得的，我希望我的孩子将来去国外留学。 此致 敬礼 张毅(一个男孩的父亲)　 返回导航 $
