1、The Little Prince Chapter 4-Part1I had thus learned a second fact of great importance: this was that the planet the little prince came from was scarcely any larger than a house!由此我知道了另外一件非常重要的事:小王子居住的星球,比一座房子大不了多少!【词汇】 thus adv.因此;这样,以此种方式 scarcely adv.勉强,几乎不【短语】 of great importance 非常重要,在句中作为后置定语修饰
2、前面的名词fact。【句子】“.the planet the little prince came from.”此处为省略了关系词that的定语从句,用来修饰前面的名词planet。But that did not really surprise me much. I knew very well that in addition to the great planets such as the Earth,Jupiter,Mars, Venus to which we have given names, there are also hundreds of others, some of w
3、hich are so small that one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope. When an astronomer discovers one of these he does not give it a name, but only a number. He might call it, for example,Asteroid 325.我不感到惊讶。因为我知道,只有像地球、火星、木星、金星这些大星球才有正式的名字,其他成千上万的小星球并没有响亮的名字。天文学家用望远镜观察到这些小星球,给它们编一个号码,就算名字了
4、。比如,他们把一个小星球叫作“3251号小行星”。【词汇】 Jupiter 木星 Venus 金星 Asteroid 小行星【短语】 in addition to 除之外【句子】 “.to which we have given names,.” 句中to which we have given names 引导定语从句,用来修饰前面的Earth,Jupiter,Mars,Venus。 “.some of which are so small that.”这个部分用来修饰前面的hundreds of others,which即用来指代hundreds of others。 “.has a ha
5、rd time seeing them.” 。句式结构是:have a hard time doing sth.表示:做不容易。I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B612. This asteroid has only once been seen through the telescope. That was by a Turkish astronomer,in 1909.我有确凿可信的证据,证明小王子居住的那个
6、星球就是B612号小行星。1909年,一位土耳其天文学家用望远镜看见过它。【句子】 “.from which the little prince came.”此处为定语从句,修饰前面的名词planet,表示小王子来自的那个星球。 “.has only once been seen.”此处为现在完成时的被动语态。表示这颗行星曾经有天文学家通过望远镜看过它。On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it to the International Astronomical Congress, in a great demonstrat
7、ion. But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said.Grownups are like that.在一次国际天文学大会上,这位天文学家作了长篇论证,证明B612号小行星的存在。可是,因为他穿的服装的缘故,没有人相信他的话。那些大人,就是这样。【词汇】 astronomical adj.天文(学)的,天体的;(数量、价格或收费)天文数字的,极其巨大的 demonstration n.演示,展示;游行,示威;证实 costume n.服装,装束;戏服,表演服装 grown-ups 表示:成年人(g
8、rown-up的复数形式)【句子】 present.to.向呈现Fortunately, however, for the reputation of Asteroid B612, a Turkish dictator made a law that his subjects, under pain of death, should change to European costume. So in 1920 the astronomer gave his demonstration all over again, dressed with impressive style and elega
9、nce. And this time everybody accepted his report.所幸,有一个土耳其独裁者命令全国百姓必须穿欧洲的服装,违令者将处以极刑。1920年,那位天文学家穿着体面的西装重新作了报告,这下所有人都同意了他的论证。B612号小行星总算保住了。【词汇】 fortunately adv. 幸运地 reputation n.名誉,名声 dictator n.独裁者;专横的人 subject n.主题,话题;学科,科目,课程,国民 impressive adj.给人印象深刻的,令人钦佩的 elegance n.优雅,雅致;简练【短语】 under pain of d
10、eath 死刑【句型】 “.that his subjects, under pain of death, should change to European costume.” 这里that引导的是同位语从句,用来解释law的具体内容。If I have told you these details about the asteroid, and made a note of its number for you, it is on account of the grownups and their ways. When you tell them that you have made a
11、new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies? Instead, they demand: How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his fathe
12、r make? Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.我之所以要详细地介绍B612号小行星,还把它的来历讲得一清二楚,全是为了那些大人。大人就喜欢数字,你向他们讲一个新认识的朋友,他们只会问一些无关紧要的问题。比如,他们不会问:他的声音怎么样?他收集蝴蝶标本吗?他喜欢玩什么游戏?他们问的是:他多大?有多少个兄弟姐妹?他的体重是多少?他爸爸挣多少钱?问完这些问题以后,他们就自以为了解了你的朋友。【词汇】 detail n.细节,细微之处;详情,资料 instead adv.代替,顶替,反而 demand v.强烈要求;需要,需求 figure n.数字,数目,数值;数字符号,位数;身材【短语】 make a note 做笔记 on account of 由于;因为;为了的缘故 essential matters 紧要的问题【句子】 “If If I have told you these details about the asteroid,.” If表示如果,引导条件状语从句。 “When you tell them that you have made a new friend,.” When表示“当时候”,引导时间状语从句。学科网(北京)股份有限公司
