Step 6 Language points

1. What do you think the passage is about?

  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. … most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center

in New York was taken down by terrorists.

  此句中was taken down是被动语态。意思是“被摧毁”。其中take down表示将建筑物或高的物体“拆除；拆掉；拆卸”，此处根据上下文可翻译成“摧毁；毁掉”。如:

They’re talking about how to take that wall down.

他们在讨论如何拆除那堵墙。

5. She remembers working in her office near the two towers.

  1) towers在句子中指的是世贸中心的双子塔。

2) remember doing something 表示“记得曾经做过某事” ; 

    remember to do sth. 表示“记得要去做某事”。

e.g. I remembered tuning off the lights when I left the room.

     当我离开房间的时候, 我记得我关灯了。 (灯已经关了) 。

      Remember to turn off the lights when you leave the room.

      在你离开房间之前, 记得把灯关了。(现在还没有关灯)

6. 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 firs

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 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。
