[難點講解]

1、Whatever great achievements the future may have in store for China, it is likely that many of them will be born in the northwestern Beijing.

無論中國將會有什麼樣的偉大成就，其中許多很有可能誕生在北京西北部。

in store (for) 意爲準備好的，儲藏着的，轉義爲就要發生之意：

There are better days in store for you.

The future will have tsunami in store for the bay area again.

這裏likely常可用possible與probable代之：

It is probable/possible/likely that he will do very well in this field.

這裏probable指多半有可能，可能性最大，而likely也可不用形式主語：

Are you likely to be in Silicon Valley this year?

An accident is likely to happen on the stormy day.

還可作副詞：

They’ll very likely come by car.

probably

2、Within the next ten years, more than a hundred scientific and hi-tech companies moved into the area and new hi-tech centers developed around the original Zhongguancun Garden.

近十年內，一百多家高科技公司搬時了這個地區，新的高科技中心在原來的中關村園區四周發展起來。

within與in，inside指空間時，基本同義：

Within/Inside/In the empty house all was quiet.

但WithinInside the walls of this house lies a secret.

He waited, just inside/within the door of the store.

這裏指門後，牆後的房子裏，in無此意。

距離之內只用within：

The school in within five midis from here..

一些用法注意點：

Let’s go inside the house. （不可用within及in）

into

Come inside/in, Anne. （不可用within）

I could hear from within the building.

inside

The door was suddenly opened from within. （from之後不可用in）

用於時間有“之後”意義，而within，inside強調之內：

I shall be back in an hour. 我一小時後回來。

3、Zhongguancun made it possible for him to follow his dreams and help the country he loves.

中關村使他有可能實現自己的夢想同時爲他所熱愛的祖國出力。

這裏it是形式賓語，真正賓語是不定式for him to follow …，看其他例子：

4、Yufang talked to some friends from his university in Beijing and they helped arrange for his return.

又例：

v.t. He has arranged a taxi for me.

這裏like是連詞=as if，口語用法：

He sounded like he’d only just woken up.

as if

as if

課文中

like a dream come true = like a dream had come true可看作口語省去助動詞had。

6、Zhongguancun has had a positive effect on business as well as science.

中關村無論對商業還是對科學都產生了積極的影響。

have an effect on 對……有影響

又例：

正如裕方所說：“我們現在沒有掙那麼多錢，但我們爲充滿活力的新技術與傑出的思維而萬分激動。”

這裏put意爲表達，說出等，又例：

Let me put that in simpler words. 讓我簡明地說說那事。

She is -- how shall I put it? -- not exactly fat, but rather well–built for her age.

她-我該怎樣講清楚呢？-不是真胖，而是就她年齡來說夠壯實了。

8、The success is no accident. 成功決非偶然。

這裏accident不是事故，而是偶然之意：

It was just an accident that I found the missing letter.

Last time I ran across her by accident. 上次我遇到她純屬偶然。

9、It seems to be love at first byte for China and computers. 中國與計算機好象是一見鍾情。

“一見”一般場合下譯爲at first sight，因爲句中提及計算機就把sight改爲byte，成了好句子！又如：

二、閱讀理解

“Wash every day, and you’ll die young, my son,” People often said those words long ago, of course.

Napoleon’s wife had new clothes every month, instead of a bath. (“It’s quicker,” she always said). Rich people did not often have a bath. They washed their hands and faces, but not their bodies. Many poor people did not wash at all. A young man once said to a doctor: “Soap and water have never touched my body.” (And the doctor answered, “That’s true, I know …”)

Why didn’t people wash in those days long ago?

Well, they did not have water in their houses. They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground (=wells). Townspeople bough it from a water-carrier. Sometimes it was expensive; and soap was always expensive. They drank water, of course; and so they were clean inside. They did not think about the outside! And this is true: they just did not like a bath.

Modern life is different. We use a lot of soap and water. And we are all quite clean. However, a few people use too much soap and they often get ill. Who are these people?

Many young women work as hairdressers. They wash and then “dress” other women’s hair. That is their job, and they like it. Young hairdressers sometimes wash thirty heads on a busy day! Their hands are soapy for seven or eight hours; and that is not a good thing. A young hairdresser’s hands are often red and ugly; and she must then go to a doctor.
