参考译文

4年以后,奥林匹克运动会将在我们国家举行。由于将有大批的人到我们国家来,所以政府准备建造一些新的饭店、一个大型体育场和一个新的奥运会标准游泳池。他们还将修筑一些新的道路和一条铁路专线。奥运会就在首都市郊举办,整个地区将被称作“奥林匹克城”。工人们将在今年年底前把新路铺好;到明年年底,他们将把新体育场建成。这些巨大的现代化建筑是由库尔特.冈特设计的。大家都将急切地注视着新建筑的建成。我们都非常激动,盼望着奥运会的到来,因为在这个国家里还从未举办过奥运会。

 

  自学导读
1.The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years'time.  4年以后,奥林匹克运动会将在我们国家举行。
(1)作为专有名词的一部分时 games 的第一个字母要大写。
(2)
这句话的语态是被动语态用于一般将来时(will be held)。
(3)in four years' time,4年之后。 in的这种用法在第9课的语法中已经讲过,它通常与将来时连用表示“……时间之后”:
I'll be back in ten minutes or half an hour.
我10分钟或半个小时以后回来。
名词的所有格用于表示时间在第13课的语法中已经提到过:
He will arrive in three hours' time.
他3小时以后到达。
2.As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. 由于将有大批的人到我们国家来,
所以政府准备建造一些新的饭店、一个大型体育场和一个新的奥运会标准游泳池。
(1)连词as用于表示原因时通常位于句首,这是因为它所表明的原因对于讲话对象可能是已知的,因此没有必要再予以强调。
连词 because任何时候都可以代替as来说明一种或几种原因,但是as则不一定总能代替 because:
As you can't type the letter yourself, you'll have to ask Susan to do it for you.
既然你自己不能用打字机打这封信,那你就请苏珊替你打吧。
because 一般跟在主句后面,强调讲话对象可能不知道的原因:
Jim's trying to save more money because he wants to buy a car.
吉姆正设法多攒些钱,因为他想买辆车。
(2)building 后面的成分为它的3个并列宾语,每个宾语前面的冠词都不可省略。
(3)Olympic-standard 是个“形容词+名词”形式的复合形容词,作定语。虽然字典中通常不把它作为一个词条,但它的含义是
一目了然的。
第32课中出现的 well-dressed 也是个复合形容词,
其构成为“副词+过去分词”,它已被大家接受,作为固定的词条出现于一般字典中。
3.a special railway line,一条铁路专线。
special 在此处表示“专门的”、“特设的”。line 既可以笼统地指两地间的“铁路线路”,
又可以具体地指包括路基、枕木等的“铁路轨线”。
4.by the end of this year,在今年年底前。
by表示“在某时之前”、“
并不晚于某时的任何时间”。它不能与表示一段时间的名词连用,只能与表示时间点的名词或词组连用,用于肯定句与用于否定句时有一定区别:
5.Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up.大家都将急切地注视着新建筑的建成。
(1)watch 在此处表示“关注”而不是真的盯着看。
(2)as在这里为连词,相当于while,表示“当”、“正值”,它引导的从句虽然表示将来的动作,但要用一般现在时。
(3)go up 为短语动词,其含义之一为“(建筑物)被兴建起来”:
Many new houses are going up in this district6.
这个地区正兴建许多新房子。


  语法 Grammar in use
一般将来完成时(The future perfect simple tense)
(1)在第12课和第13课的语法中,我们学习了一般将来时和将来进行时。
一般将来时除了可以用来预言将来发生的事以外,还可以表示“意愿”,如允诺、建议、请求、提议等:
The radio hasn't been mended yet.
收音机还没有修好。
Never mind! I'll mend it for you.
别担心!我会给你修的。(允诺)
Will you open the door for me please!
请你帮我开一下门好吗?(请求)
Shall7 we go for a swim tomorrow?
我们明天去游泳好吗?(建议)
将来进行时除了表示最近或不久的将来正在进行的动作外,
还可以表示计划或安排好的事:
A great many people will be visiting the country.
许多人将到我们国家来。(将来正在进行的动作)
The government will be building new roads.
政府准备修筑一些新的道路。(计划好的事)
(2)将来完成时用于表示到将来某一时刻已经完成的动作:
将来完成时由will have+ 过去分词构成。它常与by和not…till/ until+ 表示时间的名词连用:
I expect you will have changed your mind by tomorrow.
我希望到明天你就会改变主意了。


  词汇学习 Word study
1.hold vt.
(1)拿着,抓住,抱住:
Please hold the baby while I take off my coat.
我脱外衣的时候请帮我抱一下孩子。
Why are you holding my bag?
你为什么抓住我的包?
(2)容纳,装得下,包含:
This cup can't hold much water.
这杯子装不了多少水。
The stadium can hold 20,000 people.
这个体育场能容纳两万人。
(3)举行(会议、会谈等);庆祝(节日):
The Olympic Games will be held just outside the capital.
奥运会就在首都市郊举办。
When are we going to hold the next meeting?
我们什么时候举行下次会议?
2.look的一些固定短语
(1)look forward to常用于表示高兴地
“盼望”、“期待”,to为介词,因此后面只能跟名词、代词和动名词,不能接动词原形:
We are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.
我们盼望着奥运会的到来,因为这个国家还从未举办过奥运会。
I look forward to seeing you during the weekend.
我盼望着周末见到你。
(2)look out 除表示“朝外看”以外,
还可以表示“注意”、“留神”,尤其在祈使句中:
You should always look out when you walk across a road.
你过马路时要留神。
Look out! There's something in the middle of the road.
小心!马路中间有东西。
(3)look up 的含义之一为“(在字典、参考书等中)查找”:
He looked up the word in several dictionaries.
他在几本字典中查了这个单词。
它还可以表示“看望”、“拜访”某个人,一般用于口语中:
I'm going to look up Mary this afternoon.
我打算今天下午去看望玛丽。
