Step 6 Language points

1. passage  n. 章节，段落

   passage 作“(文章的)段落”解时, 不限于文章的一个自然段, 也可以由若干句话或若干个 paragraphs 组成。

   passage 也可作“一段, 一节”解, 一般指讲话、文章或乐曲的一部分。

e.g. The teacher spent an hour in explaining this passage.
老师用了一小时来讲解这一段。

Choose the correct order of the following sentences to form a passage.
把下列句子排好顺序组成一篇短文。 

2. My parents were completely shocked!

 completely  adv. 彻底地，完全地

e.g. I understand completely. 我完全明白。

    shocked   adj. 惊愕的；受震惊的

e.g. She was so shocked that she could hardly say a word.
她大为震惊，几乎一句话也说不出来。

[即学即练] 翻译下列句子。

1) 看到邻居那样对待孩子我很惊愕。

2) 他对她抽烟感到很震惊。

3. My parents did not talk after that, and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence.

  in silence 沉默，无声

  without speaking or making a sound;  silently

e.g. Many patients were waiting in silence.
   许多病人在静静地等候着。

     A hundred and fifty reporters sat in silence.

   在场的150名记者静静地坐在那里。

4. I didn’t believe him at first.

   at first “起初，首先”，作为介词短语，只起副词作用（在句中用作状语）。 at first主要用于强调前后对照，暗示接下去的动作与前面的动作不同甚至相反，因此常有 but, afterwards, soon, at last 等相呼应。

e.g. At first we used hand tools. 首先我们使用手工工具。

At first I didn’t want to go, but soon I changed my mind.

我开始不想去，但我很快就改变了主意。
