一切为不好好学习找的借口都是耍流氓。

翻译练习:
The remains of plants and animals that lived on land are muchmore rarely preserved, for there is seldom anything to cover them over. Whenyou think of the innumerable birds that one sees flying bout, not to mentionthe equally numerous small animals like field mice and voles which you do not see, it is very rarely that one comes across a dead body, except, of course, onthe roads.
翻译1:现存在地球上的动植物的骨灰(遗骸)愈加难以保存下来了,因为几乎没有东西可以掩盖并保全他们的骨灰(遗骸)。当你想象有可见的数不清的鸟儿在你面前飞来飞去时,更不用说那些同样数量巨大但你很难看到的类似于老鼠和田鼠这样的小动物了。你几乎很难有机会看到他们的尸体(并从它们身旁穿过),当然,除非你在马路上看到它们(小动物的尸体)。
翻译2:曾生存在陆地上的动植物的遗骸越加稀少,且难以保存,因为几乎没有东西可以掩盖他们。你可以想象你正目睹有数不清的鸟儿从你面前飞来飞去,更别说那些罕见但数量繁多类似老鼠和田鼠这样的小动物。你几乎很难有机会看到它们的尸体,当然。除非你在马路上看到它们,那又另当别论了。
官方:曾在陆地上生活过的动植物的遗体被保存下来的更为罕见,因为陆地上几乎没有什么东西覆盖它们。你可以想象出天上有看得见的飞来飞去、数不清的鸟,地上有不显眼的无数的老鼠和田鼠之类的小动物,但是,除非在路上,很少有人遇到这些动物的尸体。
一.词组与短语
1.theremainingof剩留下来的
2.theremainsof一般上是某某人遗留下来的骨灰
3.preserved,保存的,现存的
4.seldom难得;罕见;不大
5.cover them over掩盖
Eg:Then shut your eyes and cover them over with your hands.
接着闭上眼睛且双手蒙住。
7.flying bout飞来飞去
8. field mice and voles老鼠和田鼠
二.导师讲解
1.强调状语的强调句比较容易判断。但强调主语和宾语的使用that的强调句与定语从句之间有可能出现混淆。
例如:强调主语:It was myteacher who did the experiment in the lab yesterday evening.
强调宾语:It was theexperiment that my teacher did in the lab yesterday evening.
3.注意preserve和reserve的区别。
4.比较innumerable和numerous的近似含义。
5.没有提及可以用there is no mention of….或者it isnot mentioned/we don’t mention.
更不用说。用法其实和中文一致。我们在使用 更不用说 来表示递进,进一步说明。例如,他口译都是高分通过,更不用说考六级了!那么就是表达,他六级一定会通过。英语也是一样,今天句子用not to mention就是指,吾等可见群鸟纷飞于苍穹,更不必言,难为日常所见之鼠族,生息于大地。

reserve
n.储备品,贮量,后备军,自然保护区,保留,拘谨,节制,储备金vt.保留,保存,预订,延期,推迟【医】储备[力],储量【经】准备;储备
区别Reserve比较常见,是指为“留作后用”的保留、预订,可指保留座位、权利、意见等等
Preserve则不光是只「保留」,还强调保留下来「收藏」,使东西完好无损,侧重“为了不至于灭绝、损坏”而进行的保护。
3.numerous,countless,innumerable的区别
countless
adj.too numerous to be counted
例句: countless hours
numerous
adj.
1. [修饰复数名词]许多的,大量的2. [修饰单数名词]为数众多的
adj.amounting to a large indefinite number
例句: numerous times
the family was numerous
adj.too numerous to be counted
例句: innumerable difficulties
从上面可以看出innumerable =countless意为数不尽的,无数的。而numerous是修饰复数名词的,指的是许多的,大量的。
大家都get到了吗?
