第47课Through the Earth’s Crust

1、 Satellites orbiting round theearth have provided scientists with a vast amount ofinformation about conditions in outer space.

环绕地球运行的卫星，为科学家提供了浩如烟海的外层空间的资料，相比之下，对地球内部的结构则知之甚微。

2、 Until recently, scientists havebeen unable to devise a drill which would be capable of cutting through hard rock at greatdepths.

直至今日，科学家尚未能设计出一种能钻透极深处坚硬岩石之钻探机。

3、 Keeping the platform inposition at sea will give rise to furtherproblems. 固定此平台于海上不动将会遇到新问题。

4、 Scientists have been amazed tofind that it can cut through the hardest rock withgreat ease.

科学家发现的方法听起来意想不到的简单。

第60课： 1、Punctuality is a necessary habit in all public affairs of a civilized society. 开头就很平铺的说出了文章要说的内容，而且不觉得做作。。对比俺写文章。。绞尽脑汁想出来的句子，和后面又连不上。。蛮突兀的，而且，punctuality 可以用在阐述character方面的例子。

2、Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in a state of chaos.

这几天研究NEC， 发现其实他们蛮喜欢用这种双重否定的。。或者说 是用本身就带否定意味的词来表达，什么not donot。。出现得不多。而且，是我们chinese喜欢用的排比句式。。。同时，这个句子MS是个虚拟。。。

3、Only in a sparsely-populated rural community is it possible to disregard it. 这三句话是连一起的，所以说这篇文章推荐背诵。三个句子，都是看起来很小儿科的句子，单词句式都会，但是觉得很自然地，第一句陈诉观点，第二句虚拟假设相反情况，到第三句又很自然地用倒装来说也有少量情况出现。。。反思俺写文章，都是心血来潮在前面一堆类似句式中突然冒一个其他的句式，多变的目的是达到了，但是一点都不灵活。。。— —|

4、He is therefore forgiven, if late for a dinner party.

if引导的条件状语后置，其实这更多的符合欧美人的表达习惯，后面看到的很多句子，都和我们一般写出来的不一样。我们一般写 if...,he...,或者When..., he....

5、But people are often reproached for unpunctuality(又是一个直接表示否定意义的词) when their only fault is cutting things fine.

推荐背的是 cutting things fine 这个词组——卡得太紧

句子意思是：但人们则常常仅仅由于将时间安排得太紧而引起不准时受到指责。 如果让我们来写这个句子的话：

But people are often blamed just because they have arranged their agandas too heavy to be punctuality.— —|

6、The over-punctual can be as much a trial to others as the unpunctual.

感觉很利索的过渡，直接把话题转移到另外一个方面，说提前太早到达其实和不按时是一样让人恼火的。。

as much a trial to others as。。觉得这个句子蛮经典的。。很明白地说出了早到也是对人的一种折磨。。。

7、Although being early may mean wasting a little time, this will be less than if you miss the train and have to wait an hour or more for the next one; and avoid the frustration of arriving at the very moment when the train is drawing out of the station and being unable(又是。。) to get on it.

个人蛮喜欢用的一种让步的句子.但是又不是单纯的表示让步，其实是2个并列的句子，同时做了另外一种情况的比较，觉得就说服力雄厚起来。

同时几个单词觉得蛮好：drawing out of the station 一般都会说 about to leave, take off,...

very,这个词用在这里感觉就是正好掐在那一个让人觉得很闷郁的关键点

avoid the frustration 动词的名词形式，记得论坛上有篇蛮经典的帖子就是说 名词化趋势，把表达句子中心意思的词尽量用名词表达 be unable to ..比couldn't, failed to, not successful。。这些用滥的会不会要好一点，而且 这个更多的就是强调事情有没有做成功

8、An even harder situation is to be on the platform in good time for a train and still to see it go off without you.

without..是使用频率很高的词，而且这个是介词短语做补语。这个句子是跟着上面的句子更进一步推进，加强后果的严重性。。

9、She entered the station twenty minutes before the train was due, since her patents had imressen upon her that it would be unforgivable to miss it and cause the friends with whom she was going to stay to maike two journeys to meet her.

since引导的从句再嵌套一个宾语从句，之下还有一个限定性的定语从句，结构蛮复杂，但是句子意思表达却相当清晰。。

10、She felt in her handbag fot the piece of paper...

表达，使用的单词 feel。。一般我们写做习惯：She searched in her bag for the piece of paper..

11、The girl, tear streaming down her face, begged to be allowed to slip into the guard's van.

那个 tear streaming down her face 觉得这个状语用得蛮好的。。。

第55课

1、 Radio telescopes have one bigadvantage over conventional telescopes in thatthey can operate in all weather conditions and can pick up signals coming fromvery distant stars.

这个 over 这个词。。以及 inthat 表示原因的用法。

2、 The radio telescope at IodrellBank in Englandwas for many years the largest in the world.

状语的位置，习惯了把for+时间段的放在句子前后，偶尔看一下这样的表达会觉得不适应

3、 A new telescope, overtwice the size, was recently built at Sugar Grovein West Virginia.

划线的用法。

4、 Astronomers no longer regard asfanciful the idea that they may one day pick up signal which have been sent byintelligent beings on other worlds.

regard as fanciful the idea that….这个句子，刚开始看没太懂结构。

其实正常的应该是 regard the idea that they…as fanciful. 为了平衡句子结构所以把asfanciful这个给提前了。蛮地道的表达。。至少是蛮不中式英语的表达

在旧托福里，这样的语法结构也考过。

5、 Highlyadvanced civilizations may have existed on otherplanets long before intelligent forms of life evolved on the earth.

Highly这个词。。。觉得很多赞美的感情都包括在里面了。。

最震撼的是看俺爸爸帮我改邮件，最后一句 我本来写的是

I’m waiting foryour replay.。。。。。 蛮土的

Your reply willbe highly appreciated.。。。以后俺发邮件最后一句都是这个了。。。 还有advanced，一个用法比较多的词，属于要掌握好的词吧。

6、 Aware of the fact that it would be impossibleto wait thousands or millions of years to receive an answer from a distant planet,scientists engaged in Project Ozma ateconcentrating their attention on stars which are relatively close.

过渡句，连接2段间逻辑关系的句子。可以用做进一步详细的阐述，也可以做转折。 engage in 参与

7、 A single picture would tell usmore than thousands of words.

这个简单句可以用于很多写作的论述中间。比如说电脑的作用：

A simpleoperation on the computer would save us more than thousands of minutes.

8、 In an age when anything seemsto be possible, it would be narrow-minded in the extreme to ridicule theseattempts to find out if there is life in other parts of the universe.

很好的结尾总结句子。还是那个creativity v.s knowledge

In an age whenanything seems to be full of innovation, it would be narrow-minded in theextreme to regard knowledge gained as superior than creativity.

第54课

1、 We havebeen brought up to fear insects.

我们自幼就在对昆虫的惧怕中长大。

2、 We regardthem as unnecessary creatures that do more harm than good.

我们把昆虫当作害多益少的无用东西。

3、 We live in dread not only of unpleasant insects like spiders or wasps, but of quite harmless ones like moths.

我们在日常生活中，不但憎恶如蜘蛛、黄蜂之类令人讨厌的昆虫，而且憎恶并无大害的飞蛾等。

4、 Knowing that theindustrious ant lives in a highly organized society doesnothing to prevent us from being filled withrevulsion when we find hordes of them crawling over a carefully prepared picniclunch.

即使知道勤奋的蚂蚁生活具有高度组织性的社会里，当看到大群蚂蚁在我们精心准备的午间野餐上爬行时，我们也无法抑制对它们的反感。

5、 We enjoy staring at them, entranced as they go abouttheir business, unaware (we hope) ofour presence.

我们喜欢入迷地看它们做事，它们不知道（但愿如此）我们就在它们身边。

6、 Who has notstood in awe ate the sight of a spider pouncing on afly, or a column of ants triumphantly bearing home an enormous dead beetle?

当看到蜘蛛扑向一只苍蝇时，一队蚂蚁抬着一只巨大的死甲虫凯旋归时，谁能不感到敬畏呢？

第58课

1、 Her shopping had tired her and her basket had grownheavier with every step of the way home.

通过这样一种比较级来强调tired。。。

2、 In the lift her thoughts were on lunch and a good rest…

一般我们写，只想着做什么什么，just thinking, concentrate on..

3、 She walked slowly into the halland at once noticed that all the room doors were open, yetfollowing her regular practice she had shut then before going out. Yet的用法，印象中老师一直强调yet的用法，也是属于英语中活用比较多的词

4、 It was asclear as daylight then that burglars had forced anentry during her absence.

5、 Her firstimpulse was to go round all the rooms looking for thethieves, but then she decided that at her age it might be more prudent to havesomeone with her, so she went to fetch the porter from his basement.

第一反应：这个impulse 更加形象的说出了是当时立刻的反应，带有冲动不理智的色彩。。

选词的准确也许更多的是理解相近词各自不同的感情变化吧。。
