提分靚句:
1. the moment引導時間狀語從句
The moment he reached the country, he started his search. 他一到達這個國家,就開始他的探尋工作。
2. Ving形式作狀語
String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm—two entirely different movements. 弦樂器的演奏者練習在左手的手指上下移動的同時,用右手前后拉動琴弓——這是兩個截然不同的動作。
3. so...that引導結(jié)果狀語從句
Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century. 藝術(shù)家之所以偉大,就在于他們對音樂語言駕輕就熟,他們可以盡情演奏任何時代的作品。
4. It is+形容詞+that從句
Its partly true that Dickens style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. 狄更斯的寫作風格吸引了各行各業(yè)的讀者,這在一定程度上是正確的。
5. as+形容詞+a/an+名詞+as
Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist. 研究結(jié)果似乎表明,一位偉大藝術(shù)家的創(chuàng)作和一位偉大科學家的發(fā)現(xiàn)一樣是一項永久性的成就。
6. “介詞+which”引導定語從句
None of his original works survive, but his characters were included in three kinds of copybooks of tablet inscriptions, the earliest intact calligraphic work found in the Republic of Korea today, one of which is his tablet runningscript handwriting of Poem on Lushan Waterfall, a poem by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. 他的原作沒有一部幸存下來,但他的字出現(xiàn)在了三種碑刻拓本中,這是今天在韓國發(fā)現(xiàn)的最早的完整的書法作品,其中之一是他手寫的行書碑文——唐代李白的《望廬山瀑布》。
二、續(xù)寫金庫
1. Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. 美國繪畫之父本杰明·韋斯特在六歲時就展現(xiàn)了他的藝術(shù)天賦。
2. While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. 雖然他可能對這些書了解很少,但它們是他接觸古典繪畫的入門書。
3. History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. 歷史見證了莎士比亞戲劇在世界各主要語言中的無窮無盡的創(chuàng)作。
4. She was a rock star at our last business presentation. This is probably not referring to a literal rock star falling from space or the other common metaphor: a musician performing at a rock concert. Instead, it simply means the person delivered a great performance at the meeting and stood out like a rock star on the stage. 在我們上次的商業(yè)演講中,她是一位搖滾明星。這可能不是指字面意義上的從天而降的搖滾明星,也不是其他常見的比喻:音樂家在搖滾音樂會上表演。相反,它只是意味著這個人在會議上表現(xiàn)出色,像舞臺上的搖滾明星一樣引人注目。
5. Today Dickens greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa. 今天,狄更斯的偉大是毋庸置疑的。把他從英國文學的名人堂移除將和盧浮宮出售《蒙娜麗莎》一樣影響巨大。
6. Its partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But its also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. 部分原因是他的作品推動了社會、政治和科學的進步。但他也改寫了文學文化,并把自己放在了中心位置。沒有人會知道是什么樣的才能、野心、精力和運氣的結(jié)合,使狄更斯成為如此杰出的作家。
7. Regardless of concerns over the selection process, it seems that the Nobel Prize in Literature will continue to survive both as an indicator of the literature that we most highly praise, and as a difficult goal that writers seek. 不管對評選過程的擔憂如何,諾貝爾文學獎似乎將繼續(xù)作為我們最高度贊揚的文學作品的一個標志而存在,以及作為作家們艱難追求的一個目標而存在。
