基礎(chǔ)英語(yǔ)輕松學(xué)【38】自戀的美男子,變成水仙花
本課您將學(xué)到:in return(作為回報(bào)), out of pity(出于同情)及l(fā)one, alone,lonely的區(qū)別
你一定見(jiàn)過(guò)岸邊羞澀低垂的水仙花吧,它開(kāi)起來(lái)是那么絢爛多姿,可你知道嗎,它的身世也是十分坎坷的呢!
Once there was a handsome young man named Narcissus, many people fell in love with him, including a lovely woman named Echo. Narcissus was conceited(自負(fù)的) and mean, and he liked to be alone, so he rejected Echos love, and she was so sad that she went to hide in the mountains.
This made the gods very angry. They decided to let Narcissus know how it felt to love someone and not be loved in return.
One day Narcissus put his face near the water, and saw a beautiful young man looking back at him, he fell in love right away.
Narcissus could not stop looking at his reflection(倒影), and soon he died beside the pool. Out of pity, the gods changed him into a flower called narcissus(水仙花).
「讀書筆記」
once意思是曾經(jīng),如:I was a kid once too.(我也曾經(jīng)是個(gè)孩子。)曾經(jīng),有一位英俊的少年名叫Narcissus,許多人愛(ài)上他,(many people fell in love with him)其中包括一位迷人的女郎Echo.(including a lovely woman named Echo)他自負(fù)又小氣,而且喜歡獨(dú)處,(he liked to be alone)所以他拒絕了Echo的求愛(ài),(so he rejected Echos love)她因此悲傷地躲到了群山之中。(she was so sad that she went to hide in the mountains)
sothat句型還記得嗎?She is so fat that cant wear the pants she bought last year.(她太胖了,以至于穿不下去年買的褲子了。)
make有致使的意思,The pepper made me sneeze.(這胡椒粉讓我打噴嚏。) Narcissus的做法使得他們很生氣。(This made the gods very angry)于是,他們決定讓他嘗嘗單戀的滋味。(how it felt to love someone and not be loved in return)(以其人之道還治其人之身嘛!呵呵)
in return是作為回報(bào)的意思,當(dāng)你愛(ài)上別人,卻不能以被愛(ài)作為回報(bào),那該是怎樣的痛苦啊!所以,奉勸大家,還是珍惜別人的感情,Be loved and give your love in return.(被愛(ài),然后愛(ài)人。)當(dāng)然,如果你實(shí)在不喜歡那個(gè)人,還是應(yīng)該及早明確告訴人家哦!除了愛(ài),還有許多東西也可以作為回報(bào),比如鮮花,He gave her some roses in return for her kindness.(他送了她一些玫瑰以答謝她的好意。)注意:in return for后面接的是你酬謝人家的原因。
一天,Narcissus把臉靠近水面時(shí),(Narcissus put his face near the water)看見(jiàn)一個(gè)英俊少年正在看著他,(saw a beautiful young man looking back at him)于是他立刻愛(ài)上了那個(gè)人。(he fell in love right away)
Narcissus忍不住一直盯著自己的倒影看,(Narcissus could not stop looking at his reflection)沒(méi)多久他便死在池塘邊。(soon he died beside the pool)注意:beside是在近旁的意思,而besides則是此外、除了的意思,如:Besides, I want you to promise me one thing.(此外,我要你答應(yīng)我一件事。)What has he done, besides reading the paper?(除了看報(bào),他還做了什么?)
眾神出于同情,(Out of pity)把它變成了一朵水仙花。(changed him into a flower called narcissus)
「句型留言板」
out of pity出于憐憫、同情
Out of pity for him, the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the debt.
出于憐憫,這位貴族釋放了它的奴隸,并且免去了它的債務(wù)。
同情心是人類可貴的財(cái)富,可是也不能部分場(chǎng)合的隨便使用,要知道:
To marry a man out of pity is folly. (出于同情而加給一個(gè)男人是愚蠢的。)
「語(yǔ)法小教室」
今天的小教室,我們來(lái)區(qū)別一下寫法和意思都相近的三個(gè)詞:lone, alone and lonely
[誤] The old man lived lone but he didnt feel lonely.
[正] The old man lived alone, but he didnt feel lonely.
第一句話為什么錯(cuò)了呢?因?yàn)閘one(孤單的,寂寞的)只能做定語(yǔ),比如:In that cloudy sky only one lone star could be seen.(在那多云的天上,只能看到孤零零的一顆星星。)lone做star的定語(yǔ)。alone則只能作表語(yǔ),比如:She watches TV when she is alone.(獨(dú)自一人時(shí),她便看電視。)
這位獨(dú)居的老人,卻并不感到lonely,可見(jiàn),這個(gè)詞多指感情上與感覺(jué)上的孤獨(dú),舉個(gè)例子:When his wife died, he was very lonely.(太太死后他非常孤獨(dú)。)
此外,lonely表示偏僻的,荒涼的,試體會(huì)這個(gè)句子:
Crusoe was alone on the lonely island, but he didnt feel lonely.
