1 Chinese New Year

 

Chinese New Year is the most important festival for Chinese people all over the world. It is also called the Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year.

The exact date of the Spring Festival on the Western calendar changes from year to year. However, Chinese New Year takes place between January 1 and February 19.

On the Chinese calendar every year has an animal's name. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chinese legend says that these twelve animals had a race. The first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named according to the order in which the animals arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped onto the ox's back, and then at the end jumped over the ox's head to arrive first!

The Chinese believe that a person born in a particular year has some of the characteristics of that animal.

春 節

 

對於全世界的華人來說,中國的新年是最重要的節日。人們也稱它為春節或農曆新年。西曆春節的確切日期每年都在變化。但是春節一般都在 1 1 日到 2 19 日 之間。 在農曆中,每年都有一個生肖。這些生肖是鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗和豬。據傳說,這十二個動物舉行了一次賽跑,第一年就以獲勝者鼠命名,其他十一年就根據動物們到達終點的順序命名。聰明的鼠跳在牛背上,在最後時刻跳過牛的頭頂第一個到達終點!

 

中國人相信在某一年出生的人具有這一年生肖的一些特徵

2 A Teenager's Joke: Guidelines for Doing Schoolwork

 

My school had a policy about homework. Students should not spend more than ninety minutes per night doing homework. This is how I use the time for my work.

Fifteen minutes looking for assignment; Eleven minutes calling a friend for the assignment; Twenty three minutes explaining why the teacher is mean and does not like teenagers; Eight minutes in the bathroom; Ten minutes getting a snack; Seven minutes checking the TV Guide;

Six minutes telling my parents that the teacher never explained the assignment;

Ten minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom or Dad to do the assignment.

3 The Toad and the Frog

 

A toad saw a frog near the road. He was a fat old frog. He sat and moaned and groaned.

The toad said, “Do not moan and groan, Mr. Frog. Hop like me. Hop down the road.”

So the frog and the toad went down the road to a big oak tree.

I am home,” said the toad. “Come in and I will make tea.”

But Mr. Frog said, in a deep croak, “I must not roam far from home. I will be off to my home near the pond.”

 

toad 蟾蜍,癩蛤蟆

moan 呻吟

hop 跳躍

oak 橡樹

croak 一種低而嘶啞的聲音

 

癩蛤蟆和青蛙

一隻癩蛤蟆在路邊看到一隻青蛙。那是只又胖又老的青蛙。他坐在那裡呻吟歎息著。

癩蛤蟆說:“青蛙先生,不要呻吟歎息了。像我一樣跳吧。沿著這條路跳。”

所以青蛙和癩蛤蟆一起沿著小路跳到一棵大橡樹下。

“我到家了,”癩蛤蟆說,“進來吧,我來泡茶。”

但青蛙用低沉的聲音說:“我不能在離家遠的地方閒逛,我要回我在池塘邊上的家。”

新概念英語第三冊lesson 1-A Puma at large

 

   A Puma at large  逃遁的美洲獅

 

Listen to the tape then answer the question below.

聽錄音,然後回答以下問題。

 

Where must the puma have come from?

 

    Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

    The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of "cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

    美洲獅是一種體形似貓的大動物,產于美洲。當倫敦動物園接到報告說,在倫敦以南45英里處發現一隻美洲獅時,這些報告並沒有受到重視。可是,隨著證據越來越多,動物園的專家們感到有必要進行一番調查,因為凡是聲稱見到過美洲獅的人們所描述的情況竟是出奇地相似。

    搜尋美洲獅的工作是從一座小村莊開始的。那裡的一位婦女在採摘黑莓時的看見“一隻大貓”,離她僅5碼遠,她剛看見它,它就立刻逃走了。專家證實,美洲獅非被逼得走投無路,是決不會傷人的。事實上搜尋工作很困難,因為常常是早晨在甲地發現那只美洲獅,晚上卻在20英里外的乙地發現它的蹤跡。無論它走哪兒,一路上總會留下一串死鹿及死兔子之類的小動物,在許多地方看見爪印,灌木叢中發現了粘在上面的美洲獅毛。有人抱怨說夜裡聽見“像貓一樣的叫聲”;一位商人去釣魚,看見那只美洲獅在樹上。專家們如今已經完全肯定那只動物就是美洲獅,但它是從哪兒來的呢?由於全國動物園沒有一家報告丟了美洲獅,因此那只美洲獅一定是某位私人收藏豢養的,不知怎麼設法逃出來了。搜尋工作進行了好幾個星期,但始終未能逮住那只美洲獅。想到在寧靜的鄉村裡有一頭危險的野獸繼續逍遙流竄,真令人擔心。

  課文注釋

  1  at large是介詞短語,此處表示“逍遙自在”、“行動自由”的意思。

  2  When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, 當倫敦動物園接到報告說,在倫敦以南45英里的地方發現一頭野生美洲獅時。這個從句中以that引導的從句是reports的同位語,用於進一步說明報告的內容。

  3  feel obliged to do sth. 是“感到不得不做某事”的意思。

  4  it left behind it a trail of, 它身後留下一串……。

  a trail ofleft的賓語,behind it是狀語,提到賓語之前是為了使句子結構更緊湊。

  5  puma fur was found clinging to bushes中,clinging是現在分詞,此處作主語puma fur的主語補足語。下文中As no pumas had been reported missing…一句中,missing也是現在分詞作主語補足語。

  6  in the possession of, 為……所有。
