故事法
文章开头讲一个故事,不仅可以引起读者的兴趣,且可引出文章要讨论的主题。以下是引出故事的句型。
43 Last Sunday,/ The other day, /Some months ago, I /a friend of mine ... The story /case /incident is not rare,/unusual, it is one /typical of thousands of ...
43.1 The other day, I met Miss Lee, my old classmate, who told me that she had decided to quit her job as a teacher at the end of the school year and to go into a company. She said that she couldn"t make a living in her chosen profession and that not even her moonlighting twice a week could put her out of the financial quagmire she was in. Miss Lee"s case is not unusual, it is typical of thousands of young teachers who are quitting their jobs in search of more lucrative work.
几天前,我遇到老同学李小姐。她告诉我她决定在本学期未辞去教师工作,去一家公司供职。她说她选择的教师职业使她无法生活下去,即使她每周两次晚上出去打工,还是不能摆脱经济站据的窘境。李小姐的情况很普遍。在成千上万辞去自己原来工作,去寻找比较有钱的职业的青年教师中,她是个典型的例子。
43.2 Last evening, I went to visit one of my friends and was little surprised to find his ten-year-old daughter having an early dinner alone. Why didn"t she have supper with her family? "She is going to have class in the evening school," explained her father. The case is not rare. My friend"s daughter is just one of thousands of school children around the city who are learning foreign languages in evening schools.
昨晚我去看望一个朋友,看到她10岁的女儿正独自吃早晚饭有些奇怪。便问:“她为什么不和家人一起吃晚饭?”他父亲解释道:“她要上夜校去。”这种情况并不鲜见。在夜校学外语的全市数以万计的在校学生中,我朋友的女儿不过是其中的一个而已。
44 Once in a hospital /street /newspaper, I saw /read of /learnt .... The problem /phenomenon /plight of ... has drawn / arouse public /nationwide /general attention./concern
44.1 Once in a hospital I saw a small child with acute leukemia. She made the rounds and asked the adults ,her father, mother and relatives, "What is it going to be like when I die?" The grown-ups responded in a variety of ways, some crying out, some losing for wards. The only message the little girl received through the grown-ups" response was that they had a lot of fear when it came to talking about death. How to help our youngsters to deal with the reality of death ,part of life that all of us eventually have to face? The question has now drawn general attention.
有一次我在医院里看到一个患白血病的小女孩。她环视了一下来看望她的大人,逐个问她的爸爸、妈妈及亲戚:“我死后会怎么样?”大人们的反应各不相同,有的不禁失声痛哭,有的吞吞吐吐不知如何作答。这个女孩从大人的反应中得到的唯一信息是,在谈到死亡时他们对死都很害怕。如何来帮助孩子正确对待死,这个我们每一个人最终都必须面对的现实呢?这个问题已引起许多人的注意。
44.2 Once in a newspaper I read of a crowd of people who remained appallingly indifferent to the plea of a mother. As she failed to offer the required amount of cash as a price to save her drowning son, the woman at last watched her son sink to death. The story is not rare in newspapers and on TV, and the casualness and detachment our people now have developed has amused nationwide concern.
有一次在报上我读到一则消息:一大群人对一位落水儿童的母亲的哀求置之不理真令人震惊。由于这位妇女一时拿不出所要求的现钱的数目作为救她孩子的回报,最后她眼睁睁地看着儿子淹死。这种事在报纸、电视上常有报道。人们现在表现出来的这种麻木不仁、见死不救的态度已引起了全社会的关注。
