篇1：新概念英语第二册第43课:Over the South Pole

Lesson 43 Over the South Pole飞越南极

First listen and then answer the question.

听录音，然后回答以下问题。

How was the plane able to clear the mountains?

In 1929, three years after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R.E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty.

参考译文

美国探险家 R.E. 伯德在飞越北极3年之后，于1929年第一次飞越了南极。虽然开始时伯德和他的助手们拍下了飞机下面连绵群山的大量照片，但他们很快就陷入了困境。在有个地方，飞机似乎肯定要坠毁了。只有在飞至10,000英尺的高度时，它才能飞过这些山头。伯德马上命令他的助手们把两个沉重的食物袋扔掉，于是飞机可以上升了，它在离山头400英尺的高度飞越了过去。伯德这时知道他能够顺利飞抵300英里以外的南极了，因为前面再没有山了。飞机可以毫无困难地飞过这片茫茫无际的白色原野！

课文详注 Further notes on the text

1．In 1929, three years after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R. E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. 美国探险家 R·E·伯德在飞越北极3年之后，于1929年第1次飞越了南极。

（1）这句话包含两个同位语。three years after…为 1929的同位语，作插入性的补充说明；R．E．Byrd 作 the American explorer 的同位语。

（2）for the first time 表示“第一次”，time在这里表示“次”、“回”，还可以说 this time, last time, next time, another time, each time, for the last time等：

I remind you for the last time that if you don't hurry, you'll miss the train.

我最后一次提醒你，如果不快点，你会误了火车的。

Give him these photos next time you see him.

下次你见到他时把这些相片给他。

2．Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. 虽然开始时伯德和他的助手们拍下了飞机下面连绵群山的大量照片，但他们很快就陷入了困境。

（1）连词though引导的是让步状语从句，其含义为“虽然……”、“尽管……”。这个从句中的时间状语at first被单独用逗号隔开了，它如果按正常的词序应放在从句的末尾，但有可能会引起误解。

（2）at first与主句中的 soon形成时间上的照应，表示先后次序。

（3）take a photograph of 表示“拍……的照片”：

He took a photograph of his house before he left home.

他离家前给他家的房子拍了一张照片。

（4）that lay below为 the mountains的定语从句，that为从句的主语。

（5）run into trouble的含义与 get into trouble相似，表示“陷入困境”：

Each time he ran into trouble, he asked his parents for help.

每当他陷入困境时，他都向他父母求助。

3．At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. 在有个地方，飞机似乎肯定要坠毁了。

（1）at one point在此处可以解释为“在有个地方”，但它通常的含义为“在某一时刻”，point指时间上的某一点：

At one point, he made up his mind to become a painter.

他曾一度下决心要当个画家。

（2）it为“先行主语”，真正的主语为that引导的从句。it作先行主语时经常与seem，appear，look等连用：

It now looks certain that the meeting is going to be put off.

现在似乎可以肯定会议将被推迟。

4．rise to，飞机“上升至……”。

5．… it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. ……它在离山头400英尺的高度飞越了过去。

clear在这里表示“（不接触地）越过”：

He cleared 2. 10 metres.

他跳过了2.10米。

by表示“以……之差”：

I missed the train by ten minutes.

我晚了10分钟，没赶上火车。

He is younger than me by two years.

他比我小两岁。

6．…for there were no more mountains in sight. ……因为前面再没有山了。

for表示“因为”。 in sight表示“在看得见的范围内”、“在可看见之处”：

No man was in sight.

一个人也看不见。

7．white plains, 白色原野。

因为南极到处覆盖着雪，因此是白色的。

can有时可以用于表示可能性：

When can you have lunch with me?

你什么时候可以和我一起共进午餐?

I can have lunch with you tomorrow if you like.

在表示天生的或学到的能力时，can／could可用于现在时和过去时：

Billy is only 9 months old and he can already stand up. 比利只有9个月，而他已经能站起来了。

在现在时和一般过去时中，can／could与 be able to通常可以互换，be able to往往用于表示学到的技能：

I tried again and found I could swim／was able to swim. 我再次努力，就发现自己会游泳了。

在谈到说话时正在发生的事时，一般不用 be able to：

Look! I can stand on my head.

看！我能倒立。

在表示成功地完成某一具体动作时，通常不用could，而用be able to；如果表示某一动作没有取得成功，则可用 couldn't：

It's a pity he couldn't visit Mary.

很遗憾他没能去看望玛丽。

Oh, didn't you know? He was able to visit her after all.

噢，你不知道吗？他最终还是能去看她了。

在问及过去某一具体活动时可用 could，但回答是肯定的时候则不能：

篇2：新概念英语第三册第43课:Fully insured

Lesson 43 Fully insured全保险

Listen to the tape then answer the question below.

听录音，然后回答以下问题。

Who owned the pie and why?

Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything. Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world. If, however, you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible to insure yourself in the event of bad weather. Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company takes, the higher the premium you will have to pay. It is not uncommon to hear that a shipping company has made a claim for cost of salvaging a sunken ship. But the claim made by a local authority to recover the cost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique.

Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide. It had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip. Shortly after it was launched, the pie committee went to a local inn to celebrate. At the same time, a number of teenagers climbed on to the dish and held a little party of their own. Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, for during the party it capsized and sank in seven feet of water.

The pie committee telephoned a local garage owner who arrived in a recovery truck to salvage the pie dish. Shivering in their wet clothes, the teenagers looked on while three men dived repeatedly into the water to locate the dish. They had little difficulty in finding it, but hauling it out of the water proved to be a serious problem. The sides of the dish were so smooth that it was almost impossible to attach hawsers and chains to the rim without damaging it. Eventually chains were fixed to one end of the dish and a powerful winch was put into operation. The dish rose to the surface and was gently drawn towards the canal bank. For one agonizing moment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank of the canal, but it suddenly overbalanced and slid back into the water. The men were now obliged to try once more. This time they fixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of the dish so that they could fasten the chains. The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal. The winch was again put into operation and one of the men started up the truck. Several minutes later, the dish was again put into operation and one of the water. Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that it set up a huge wave in the canal. There was danger that the wave would rebound off the other side of the bank and send the dish plunging into the water again. By working at tremendous speed, the men managed to get the dish on to dry land before the wave returned.

参考译文

保险公司一般说来愿意承保一切东西。承办公共财产或私人财产保险是世界上大部分国家的正常业务。如果你要举办一次露天游园会或盛宴，为避免碰上不好的天气而遭受损失也同样可以保险，不用说，保险公司承担风险越大，你付的保险费也就越高。航运公司为打捞沉船而提出索赔，这是常有的事，但某地当局为打捞一只焙制馅饼的盘子提出索赔，倒是件新鲜的事儿。

这个馅饼盘子确实少见，有18英尺长，6英尺宽。某地方当局买下它用来焙制一个巨大的馅饼为一年一度交易会助兴。馅饼委员会确认运输这只盘子的最佳方案是通过运河水运。于是，他们对这只盘子的运输安全投了保。盘子下水后不久，馅饼委员会成员们来到当地一家小酒店庆贺。就在这个时候，许多十几岁的孩子爬盘子举行他们自己的集会。他们跳起了舞，盘子难以承受。舞会进行过程中，盘子倾覆，沉入了7英尺深的水中。

馅饼委员会给当地汽车修理库老板打电话，他闻讯后开着一辆急修车前来打捞盘子。那些孩子们穿着湿衣服哆嗦，看着3个工人轮潜入水中以确定盘子的位置。他们没费多大事儿就找到了盘子。可是把盘子捞出却是一个很大的难题。盘子四边十分光滑，要在盘边拴上绳索或链条而同时又不损坏它是很难办到的。不过，他们终于将链条固定在盘子的一端，一台大功率的绞车开动起来。盘子慢慢浮出水面，被轻轻地拽向运河岸边。在令人忐忑不安的瞬间，盘子晃晃悠悠地上了岸，但它突然失去了平衡，又跌回水中。工人们只得再来一次。这次，他们用沉重的金属夹子把盘子夹住，以便往盘子上安装铁链。这次，盘子必须垂直吊出水面，因为盘子的一边紧靠着运河河岸。绞盘机再次启动，一位工人发动了急修车的引擎。几分钟后，盘子被成功地拽出了水面。波浪从盘子两侧急涌而出，在运河里掀起一股大浪。但是当波浪从河对岸折回来时，就有再次把盘子拖进水里的危险。工人们动作迅速，终于赶在那股大浪返回之前把盘子拽到了岸上。

篇3：新概念英语第四册第43课:Are there strangers in space?

Lesson 43 Are there strangers in space?宇宙中有外星人吗？

First listen and then answer the following question.

听录音，然后回答以下问题。

What does the 'uniquely rational way' for us to communicate with other intelligent beings in space depend on?

We must conclude from the work of those who have studied the origin of life, that given a planet only approximately like our own, life is almost certain to start. Of all the planets in our solar system, we ware now pretty certain the Earth is the only one on which life can survive. Mars is too dry and poor in oxygen, Venus far too hot, and so is Mercury, and the outer planets have temperatures near absolute zero and hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. But other suns, start as the astronomers call them, are bound to have planets like our own, and as is the number of stars in the universe is so vast, this possibility becomes virtual certainty. There are one hundred thousand million starts in our own Milky Way alone, and then there are exist is now estimated at about 300 million million.

根据研究生命起源的人们所作的工作，我们必然会得出这样的结论：如果设想有一颗行星和我们地球的情况基本相似，那几乎肯定会产生生命。我们目前可以肯定的是，在我们太阳系的所有行星中，地球是生命能存在的唯一行星。火星太干燥又缺氧，金星太热，水星也一样。除此之外，太阳系的其他行星的温度都接近绝对零度，并围绕着以氢气为主的大气层。但是，其他的太阳，既天文学家所说的恒星，肯定会有像我们地球一样的行星。因为宇宙中恒星的数目极其庞大，所以存在着产生生命星球的这种可能性是肯定无疑的。仅我们的银河系就有1000亿颗星，况且在宇宙中还有30亿个天河，即银河系。因此，我们所知道的现有恒星数目估计约有30亿X1000亿颗。

Although perhaps only 1 per cent of the life that has started somewhere will develop into highly complex and intelligent patterns, so vast is the number of planets, that intelligent life is bound to be a natural part of the universe.

虽然在已经产生生命的某个地方，可能只有1%会发展成高度复杂有智力的生命形态，但是行星的数目是那么庞大，有智力的生命必然是宇宙的自然组成道听部分。

If then we are so certain that other intelligent life exists in the universe, why have we had no visitors from outer space yet? First of all, they may have come to this planet of ours thousands or millions of years ago, and found our then prevailing primitive state completely uninteresting to their own advanced knowledge. Professor Ronald Bracewell, a leading American radio astronomer, argued in Nature that such a superior civilization, on a visit to our own solar system, may have left an automatic messenger behind to await the possible awakening of an advanced civilization. Such a messenger, receiving our radio and television signals, might well re-transmit them back to its home-planet, although what impression any other civilization would thus get from us is best left unsaid.

既然我们如此坚信宇宙中存在着其他有智力的生命，那么我们为什么还未见到外层空间来访的客人呢？首先，他们可能在几千年前或几百年前已来过我们地球，并且发现我们地球汉时普遍存在着的原始状态同他们的先进的知识相比是索然无味的。美国一位重要的射电天文学家罗纳德.布雷斯韦尔教授在《自然》杂志上提出了这样的观点：假如有如此高级文明生命访问了我们的太阳系，很可能会在离开太阳系时留下自动化信号装置，等待先进文明的觉醒。这种自动化信息装置，在接收到我们的无线电和电视信号后，完全有可能把这些信号发回到原来的行星。至于其他文明行星对我们地球会有什么印象，还是不说为好。

But here we come up against the most difficult of all obstacles to contact with people on other planets -- the astronomical distances which separate us. As a reasonable guess, they might, on an average, be 100 light years away. (A light year is the distance which light travels at 186,000 miles per second in one year, namely 6 million million miles.) Radio waves also travel at the speed of light, and assuming such an automatic messenger picked up our first broadcasts of the 1920's, the message to its home planet is barely halfway there. Similarly, our own present primitive chemical rockets, though good enough to orbit men, have no chance of transporting us to the nearest other star, four light years away, let alone distances of tens or hundreds of light years.

然而，在和外星人联系中我们遇到的最大困难是分隔我们的天文距离。据合理推算，外星人离我们平均距离也有100光年之远（1光年是光以每秒186，000 英里的速度在一年内走的距离即6万亿英里）。无线电波也是以光速传播的。假定外星人的这种自动化信息装置接收了我们二十世纪二十年代的第一次广播信号，那么这个信号在发回到原来的行星途中刚刚走了一半路程。同样，我们目前使用的原始化学火箭，虽然把人送入轨道，但尚不能把我们送到离我们最近、相距4光年的其他星球上去，更不用说几十光年或几百光年远的地方了。

Fortunately, there is a 'uniquely rational way' for us to communicate with other intelligent beings, as Walter Sullivan has put it in his excellent book, We Are not Alone. This depends on the precise radio frequency of the 21-cm wavelength, or 1420 megacycles per second. It is the natural frequency of emission of the hydrogen atoms in space and was discovered by us in 1951; it must be known to any kind of radio astronomer in the universe.

幸运的是，有一种我们可以和其他智力生命通迅联系的“唯一合理的方法”，正如活尔特.沙利方在其杰作《我们并不孤独》中阐述的。这种通迅联系要靠21厘料波段，即每秒1420兆周的精确无线电频率。这个频率是空间氢原子释放的自然频率，是在1951年被人类发现的。这个频率是宇宙中任何射电天文学家都应该熟悉的。

Once the existence of this wave-length had been discovered, it was not long before its use as the uniquely recognizable broadcasting frequency for interstellar communication was suggested. Without something of this kind, searching for intelligences on other planets would be like trying to meet a friend in London without a pre-arranged rendezvous and absurdly wandering the streets in the hope of a chance encounter.

一旦这种波长的实际存在被发现，提出把它作为星际间唯一可辨认的广播频率就为期不远了。没有这手段，要想寻觅其他星球上的智力生命，就如同去伦敦见一位朋友，事先未约定地点，而荒.唐地在街上游逛，以期待碰巧遇上一样。

First listen and then answer the question.

听录音，然后回答以下问题。

How was the drunk removed from the ring?

During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

参考译文

在一次斗牛时，一个醉汉突然溜达到斗牛场中间，人们开始大叫起来，但醉汉却没有意识到危险。当时那公牛正忙于对付斗牛士，但突然它看见了醉汉，只见他正大声说着粗鲁的话，手里挥动着一顶红帽子。对挑衅显然非常敏感的公牛完全撇开斗牛士，直奔醉汉而来。观众突然静了下来，可这醉汉像是很有把握似的。当公牛逼近他时，他踉跄地住旁边一闪，牛扑空了。观众欢呼起来，醉汉向人们鞠躬致谢。然而，此时已有3个人进入斗牛场，迅速把醉汉拉到安全的地方。好像连牛也在为他感到遗憾，因为它一直同情地看着醉汉，直到他的背影消逝，才重新将注意力转向斗牛士。

课文详注 Further notes on the text

1．…the drunk was unaware of the danger.……醉汉没有意识到危险。

While she read the book, she was unaware of the noise around her.

她看那本书时没有觉察到周围的噪音。

I was unaware that you were coming.

我不知道你要来。

2．it suddenly caught sight of the drunk,突然它看见了醉汉。

catch sight of是个固定短语，意为“看见”、“发现”：

As I came out of the shop, I caught sight of Dan in the crowd.

当我从商店里出来时，我在人群中看到了丹。

3．sensitive to criticism,对挑衅／批评敏感。

sensitive表示“敏感的”、“神经过敏的”、“易生气的”或“介意的”等，通常与to+名词连用，也可作定语：

Mary is sensitive to smells.

玛丽对气味很敏感。

Mary has a sensitive ear.

玛丽的耳朵很灵敏。

You're too sensitive.

你太敏感了（太容易生气了）。

4．The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself.可这醉汉像是很有把握似的。

be/ feel sure of oneself 表示“有自信心”：

She's always so sure of herself.

她总是这么自信。

5．The crowd broke into cheers…观众欢呼起来……

break into 的含义之一是“突然发出／做出”、“突然……起来”，有控制不住的含义：

这个句子很长。for引导的句子与它前面的分句为并列句。for引导的分句中有两个时间状语，一是until引导的从句，二是before引导的动名词短语，其作用也相当于一个从句，由于主语也是it，用动名词形式更简洁些。

（1）look on可以表示“观看”、“旁观”：

Mary people just looked on while the two men robbed a woman.

当那两个人抢劫一位妇女时，许多人只是旁观。

（2）out of the way为固定短语，可以表示“不挡道”、“不碍事”：

While making meat pies, I always order the children to keep out of the way.

我做肉馅饼时，总是命令孩子们不要碍事。

Lesson 64 The Channel Tunnel海峡隧道

First listen and then answer the question.

听录音，然后回答以下问题。

Why was the first tunnel not completed?

In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.

参考译文

1858年，一位名叫埃梅.托梅.德.干蒙的法国工程师带着建造一条长21英里、穿越英吉利海陕的隧道计划到了英国。他说，可以在隧道中央建造一座平台，这座平台将用作码头和火车站。如果再建些伸出海面的高大的烟囱状通风管，隧道就具备了良好的通风条件。1860年，一位名叫威廉.洛的英国人提出了一项更好的计划。他提议建一条双轨隧道，这样就解决了通风问题。因为如果有列火车开进隧道，它就把新鲜空气随之抽进了隧道。42年以后，隧道实际已经开始建了。如果不是因为那时英国人害怕入侵，隧道早已建成了。世界不得不再等将近1才看到海峡隧道竣工。它于1994年3月7日正式开通，将英国与欧洲大陆连到了一起。

1．a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel，建造一条长 21英里的隧道的计划。

twenty－one－mile作 tunnel的修饰语，注意 mile为单数。plan for +名词／动名词表示“……的计划”：

They always make plans for their holidays, but, in the end, they always stay at home.

他们总是为假期制订各种计划，但是，末了，他们总是呆在家里。

He came with a plan for (building) a bridge over the river.

The books on the floor may serve as/ for a carpet.

地板上的书可充当地毯用了。

This sofa can serve as/ for(a) bed.

3．a better plan was put forward, 提出了一项更好的计划。

put forward为固定短语，可分开用，其含义之一是“提出（计划、建议等）”：

You know they wouldn't accept your plan. Why did you put it forward?

你知道他们不会接受你的计划。你为什么要提出来呢？

Has he put forward any suggestion?

他提出什么建议了吗？

4．He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built.他提

This road connects the willage with/to London.

这条公路连接着这个村子与伦敦。

The lake and the canal are connected by a river.

第3类条件句

（1）在第16课的语法中，我们学习了用第1类条件句表示将来很可能发生的事：

If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it.

一旦你把汽车停错了地方，交通警便很快就会发现。

在第40课的语法中，我们学习了用第2类条件句谈论想像中的情况或描写完全不可能的事：

If you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!

如果你多吃点，少说点，我们两个都会吃得好的！

If I were you, I would not go to London tomorrow.

如果我是你，我明天就不去伦敦。（婉转的建议）

（2）第3类条件句的基本结构与前两类都不一样，if从句需用过去完成时，主句用 would have/should have+过去分词形式：

If it had rained, we would have stayed at home.

要是下雨，我们就会呆在家里了。

第3类条件句在if从句里设想纯粹想像的事情，在主句里讲述想像的结果。它与第2类条件句有一定的相似之处。但是，第3类条件句所谈的是没有或永远不可能有的结果，因为它们指的是过去没有过的事情。它们是所谓的“假设条件句”：

If I had worked harder at school, I'd have go a better job.

要是我上学时勤奋一些，我就会有较好的工作了。（事实是现在的工作不太好）

在 if从句中可用 could have+过去分词代替 had been able to +动词原形:

Why didn't you read the book yesterday?

你昨天为什么没有看这本书?

I'd have read it if I could have bought it!

如果咋夭我能买到这书我就会读的!

If a train entered the tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it.

如果有一列火车开进隧道，它就把新鲜空气随之抽了进来。

The smell of flowers in the shop drew us in.

How did the woman get help?

When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters 'SOS' in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.

Did the boy go where he wanted to?

Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school.

2．A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. 他们通常能够做到的, 至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼，或在电影院里坐上8个小时，一遍遍地看同一部电影。

（1）这句话的主语是is前面的两个并列短语。第1个短语的主要

成分是动名词fishing，第2个短语的主要成分可以看做是eight hours（作为一个时间总量，它后面要跟动词单数形式）。

它实际上是省略了动名词 sitting for(eight hours),seeing引

导的为分词短语，表示伴随动作。

（2）over and over again为固定短语，表示“一再地”、“反复许多次地”：

As my grandmother can't hear very well, I had to say it over and over again.

由于我奶奶听力不大好，我不得不反复说好几遍。

（3）as far as在这里表示“到……程度”、“就……而言”，是连词，与距离没有关系：

就我所知，他的手术是成功的。

3．put…to shame,使……蒙羞，使……相形见绌。

这个句子的主语是 The next car,谓语动词是take, into和but to引导的是两个并列状语。the boy stopped为 car的关系从句，前面省略了作宾语的关系代词 which/that; as he hoped it would则为方式状语从句。

6．There he was picked up by a policeman…他在那儿被一个警察抓住了……

Pick up的含义之一是“逮捕”、“拘捕”：
