互幫互助

But one night he working late at the Scanlon-Taylor mill, lugging two-by-fours to the truck, 1splinters slicing all the way through the glove.He too small for that kind a work, too skinny, but he needed the job.He was tired.It was raining.He slip off the loading dock, fell down on the drive.Tractor trailer didn't see him and crushed his lungs fore he could move.By the time I found out, he was dead.一天晚上，他在斯坎倫-泰勒軋機(jī)廠干到很晚，拖著的木料往貨車上裝，木刺劃破手套，扎得滿手都是。他太瘦，個頭又小，干不了那重活兒，可他需要那份工作。他累得支撐不住，天又下雨，他滑倒了，從裝卸月臺上摔下來，一頭栽進(jìn)車道。拖車司機(jī)沒瞧見他，他還沒來得及挪身，車就從他身上碾過去了。等我找到他的時候，他已經(jīng)斷氣了。

That was the day my whole world went black.Air look black, sun look black.I laid up in bed and stared at the black walls a my house.Minny came ever day to make sure I was still breathing, feed me food to keep me living.Took three months fore I even look out the window, see the world still there.I was surprise to see the world didn't stop just cause my boy did.從那天起，我整個世界都黑了?？諝馐呛诘?，太陽是黑的。我躺在床上直愣愣地盯著屋里黑的墻壁。明尼每天都來看我，以確保我還有氣息，她喂我進(jìn)食，讓我殘喘地活下去。整整三個月后，我才抬眼看窗戶外頭，看外頭的世界是否照舊。我惶惑地發(fā)現(xiàn)整個世界竟然沒有因?yàn)槲覂鹤拥乃劳Ｏ掳敕帧?/p>

Five months after the funeral, I lifted myself up out a bed.I put on my white uniform and put my little gold cross back around my neck and I went to wait on Miss Leefolt cause she just have her baby girl.But it weren't too long before I seen something in me had changed.A bitter seed was planted inside a me.And I just didn't feel so accepting anymore.葬禮之后又過了五個月，我起身下床。我穿上白色制服，又把小小的金十字架戴回脖子上，隨后前去服侍李弗特小姐，她剛生下個女娃。但沒過多久我便發(fā)現(xiàn)我的心已不復(fù)從前?？酀姆N子在我體內(nèi)悄然埋下，我不再那么容易敞開胸懷了。

“GET THE HOUSE straightened up and then go on and fix some of that chicken salad now,” say Miss Leefolt.“把屋子規(guī)整規(guī)整，再去把雞肉沙拉準(zhǔn)備好?！崩罡ヌ靥艉戎?/p>

It's bridge club day.Every fourth Wednesday a the month.A course I already got everthing ready to go—made the chicken salad this morning, ironed the tablecloths yesterday.Miss Leefolt seen me at it too.She ain't but twenty-three years old and she like hearing herself tell me what to do.每個月的第四個禮拜三是她們的橋牌聚會日。我已經(jīng)將里里外外拾掇停當(dāng)——一大早做好了雞肉沙拉，桌布也在昨天熨燙平整。李弗特太太親眼瞧著我做完這些。她不過才二十三歲，卻很喜歡對我指手畫腳，差使我做這干那。

She already got the blue dress on I ironed this morning, the one with sixty-five pleats on the waist, so tiny I got to squint through my glasses to iron.I don't hate much in life, but me and that dress is not on good terms.她已經(jīng)把我今早熨好的藍(lán)裙子穿上了，那條在腰上密匝匝打了六十五個小褶的裙子，我得戴起眼鏡瞇上眼才能把那些綠豆大的褶給燙準(zhǔn)了。我對家常日子沒啥抱怨的，可我和那條裙子實(shí)在處不到一塊兒去。

“And you make sure Mae Mobley's not coming in on us, now.I tell you, I am so burned up at her—tore up my good stationery into five thousand pieces and I've got fifteen thank-you notes

for the Junior League to do…”“還有，你要管住梅·莫布利，別讓她來煩我們。我告訴你吧，她可是把我惹火了，她把我好端端的信紙撕個粉碎，我可還有十五封青年聯(lián)盟會的感謝信要寫吶……”

I arrange the-this and the-that for her lady friends.Set out the good crystal, put the silver service out.Miss Leefolt don't put up no dinky card table like the other ladies do.We sat at the dining room table.Put a cloth on top to cover the big L-shaped crack, move that red flower centerpiece to the sideboard to hide where the wood all scratched.Miss Leefolt, she like it fancy when she do a luncheon.Maybe she trying to make up for her house being small.They ain't rich folk, that I know.Rich folk don't try so hard.我還在忙著為她的那些太太小姐們準(zhǔn)備這個支應(yīng)那個。我搬出花哨的玻璃杯盞，擺上銀質(zhì)刀叉。李弗特太太沒能像其他闊太太那樣添置上一張小巧精致的牌桌，我們只得坐在餐桌前打牌。我們在桌上鋪上桌布遮住L型的裂隙，又把紅色鏤花桌飾挪到櫥柜那兒，好擋住坑坑洼洼剝落掉渣的木柜。李弗特太太大概想彌補(bǔ)屋子狹小的不足，著意把餐會拾掇得富貴體面。我知道他們不太富裕，富庶人家可不會這么費(fèi)勁。

I'm used to working for young couples, but I spec this is the smallest house I ever worked in.It's just the one story.Her and Mister Leefolt's room in the back be a fair size, but Baby Girl's room be tiny.The dining room and the regular living room kind a join up.Only two bathrooms, which is a relief cause I worked in houses where they was five or six.Take a whole day just to clean toilets.Miss Leefolt don't pay but ninety-five cents an hour, less than I been paid in years.But after Treelore died, I took what I could.Landlord wasn't gonna wait much longer.And even though it's small, Miss Leefolt done the house up nice as she can.She pretty good with the sewing machine.Anything she can't buy new of, she just get her some blue material and sew it a cover.我過去常幫年輕夫婦操持家務(wù)，可我揣度著這家是我見過門戶最小的人家。整套房子上下不過一層，她和李弗特先生的后屋尚且寬敞，可是梅的房間小得立不住腳。餐廳連著起居室混作一處。他們只有兩個衛(wèi)生間，這倒為我省下不少事，我從前碰上的人家通常都有五六間，光為他們清理廁所就得花上我整整一天。李弗特太太每個鐘點(diǎn)只付我九十五美分，我早不止這個價了，但打崔勞死后，我也顧不上挑肥揀瘦，我已經(jīng)拖欠不起房租了。盡管屋子小得轉(zhuǎn)不開身，可李弗特太太還是費(fèi)心盡力把它裝點(diǎn)得光鮮體面。她很擅長縫連補(bǔ)綴，一旦買不起新家什，她便扯些藍(lán)布頭，自裁自縫出個布套子把舊家什裝扮上。

第三篇：高中英語 輕松閱讀 英語五種基本句型詳解及針對練習(xí)素材

英語五種基本句型詳解及針對練習(xí)

句子由主語和謂語兩大部分組成。主語結(jié)構(gòu)比較單一，謂語結(jié)構(gòu)則不然，不同類別的謂語動詞導(dǎo)致不同的謂語結(jié)構(gòu)，從而形成了不同的句型(Sentence Pattern)。換句話說，不同的句型是由不同類別的謂語動詞所決定的，因此，句型又被稱為動詞句型(Verb Pattern)。語法家們對句型的分類不盡相同，一般認(rèn)為，現(xiàn)代英語的基本句型主要有五種：

1.“主----系-----表”(SLP)句型：

在這種句型中，謂語動詞是以be為主的連系動詞(Linking Verb)，后面跟主語補(bǔ)語(Subject Complement)，如：

These oranges have kept fresh.這些桔子一直很新鮮。

Mary is a student / here /in the room.瑪麗是個學(xué)生/在這兒/在房間里。

有的語法家把be后面的副詞(短語)或介詞短語視為狀語，從而形成了“主----動-----狀”(SVA)這一在五種基本句型之外的句型(見上面最后一個例句)。

2.“主----動”(SV)句型：在這種句型中，謂語動詞為不及物動詞(Intransitive Verb)，謂語部分通常只包括限定動詞，即使有狀語，也屬任意性狀語，即：去掉后并不影響句子結(jié)構(gòu)和意義的完整，如：This bread won’t keep(for a long time).這種面包不好(長期)存放。

Tom has left.前面說過,有些句子中的狀語是不可缺少的，這種狀語被稱為必具性狀語，從而構(gòu)成“主----動----狀”(SVA)句型，但這僅限于少數(shù)幾個動詞的某些用法，因而不是一種主要句型，如：They are staying in a hotel.他們暫住在一家旅館里。

3.“主----動-----賓”(SVO)句型：

在這種句型中，謂語動詞為只帶一個賓語的及物動詞，這種動詞被稱為單賓語及物動詞(Monotransitive Verb)，如：

He kept the money.他保存著這些錢。

They have left the hotel.他們已經(jīng)離開了那家旅館。

在這種句型中，狀語通常也不是必不可少的，但有少數(shù)幾個及物動詞的某些用法要求必具性狀語，從而形成了“主----動-----賓-----狀”(SVOA)這一在五種基本句型之外的另一種句型，如：

The train leaves London at nine.這列火車九點(diǎn)鐘駛離倫敦。

4.“主----動----間賓-----直賓”(SVOiId)句型：

在這一句型中，謂語動詞為能帶一個間接賓語和一個直接賓語的及物動詞，這類動詞被稱為雙賓語及物動詞(Ditransitive Verb)，如：

He kept me a dictionary.他為我保存了一本詞典。

Shall I leave you the camera? 要我把照相機(jī)留給你嗎?

5.“主----動----賓----補(bǔ)”(SVOC)句型：

在這種句型中，謂語動詞為能帶復(fù)合賓語(賓語+賓語補(bǔ)語)的及物動詞，這類動詞叫做復(fù)合賓語及物動詞(Complex Transitive Verb)，如：

She kept a notebook handy.她手頭上隨時有個筆記本。

His illness left him weak.他的疾病使他身體虛弱。

從上面所介紹的五種基本句型中的例句中我們可看出，一個動詞往往不只用于一種句型，它常常兼有連系動詞、不及物動詞和及物動詞這三類動詞的兩種詞性，有的甚至兼有三種詞性，有些動詞可以帶單賓語、雙賓語和復(fù)合賓語這三類賓語中的兩種或三種。前面的例句表明，動詞leave 可用于四種基本句型，而動詞keep 可用于五種基本句型。

練習(xí)：Name the basic pattern of each of the following sentences(說出下列各句所屬的基本句型)：

a.主-----系-----表 b.主----動 c.主-----動----賓 d.主----動----間賓----直賓 e.主----動-----賓-----補(bǔ)

1.The pain drove me mad.2.Her explanation sounds crazy.3.She threw him a kiss.4.Time flies.5.The cat caught the little mouse.6.Many people consider the astronaut a great hero.7.He has grown very old.8.Mike is healthy.9.Architects design buildings.10.She offered me some cake.答案：1.e 2.a 3.d 4.b 5.c 6.e 7.a 8.a 9.c 10.d

第四篇：高中英語 輕松閱讀 上下班時間長等于慢性自殺？素材

上下班時間長等于慢性自殺？

Stop us if you've heard this one before: long commutes are bad for your health.Some of the strongest recent findings in behavioral science have focused on the perils of a long ride to work.People with a lengthy commute show an increased amount of stress, get worse sleep, and experience decreased social interaction.A commute of 45 minutes carries such a cost to well-being that economists have found you have to earn 20 percent more to make the trip worth it.如果你聽過這個說法，就讓我打住：上下班時間長對身體有害。最近的行為科學(xué)研究有了些有力的發(fā)現(xiàn)，證明長時間的通勤時間會帶來各種危害。通勤時間長會使壓力增大，睡眠變差，社交活動減少。如果你每天的上下班時間要花掉45分鐘的話，那么你要多賺五分之一的薪水才能彌補(bǔ)。

One reason for the linear association among transit riders is most likely that longer transit rides often involve transfers.That not only increases the length of the trip but also its unpredictability(waiting for several different arrivals)，its variability(some trips take much longer than others)，and its potential for crowding — all factors that have been shown to increase the stress of the commute。

造成上述結(jié)果的原因之一可能是由于上下班時間長的人在途中可能需要換乘。換乘不僅會增加交通的時間，而且還增加了不可預(yù)測性(要等不同的班次)，這種變化性(有些班次花得時間可能更長)，還有潛在的擁擠情況，都增大了通勤途中的壓力。

延伸閱讀：

《中國新型城市化報告2012》由中國科學(xué)院發(fā)布，在中國內(nèi)地50個城市上班路上平均花費(fèi)時間排名中，北京仍以52分鐘居首，廣州、上海則以48、47分鐘緊隨其后。而50個城市中，上班平均花費(fèi)時間最少的中山市只需18分鐘，幾乎為北京的三分之一用時，且堵車時間為0，西寧、銀川也只需19和22分鐘，堵車時間僅為2和3分鐘。

報告主編牛文元表示，在選取的中國百萬人口以上的50個主要城市中，居民平均單行上班時間要花39分鐘。如果按照人口算，排名在前的15個城市居民每天上班單行比歐洲多消耗288億分鐘，折合為4.8億小時，若按上海每小時創(chuàng)造財(cái)富2億元換算，15個城市每天損失近10億人民幣。(來源：京華時報)

無論是北京的三環(huán)四環(huán)五環(huán)，還是上海的內(nèi)環(huán)中環(huán)外環(huán)，只要到上下班的rush hour，基本上就只能見到人頭攢動、車水馬龍的景象了。公車、地鐵里更是一幅人擠人、排長龍的壯觀畫面。百萬人口以上的城市通勤時間長已經(jīng)不是新聞了，而現(xiàn)在由官方機(jī)構(gòu)公布的數(shù)據(jù)更是讓“首都=首堵”名副其實(shí)了。城市上班族一聲吼：每天上班花費(fèi)時間超過45分鐘的上班族傷不起??！
