Hook Hello, everyone.上次课我们分享了Youth的精神气质,还记得那种air of freedom和link with life的感觉嘛?为了让我们都能stay forever young,有一件事我们就不得不做了,那就是“左三圈右三圈脖子扭扭屁股扭扭早睡早起......做运动”!
没错,今天我们要分享的课文就与sport有关。
来自新四的第六课lesson six--- The sporting spirit!体育的精神!谈到体育精神,what is your first reaction?是不是“更高,更快,更强””Higher, Faster, Stronger”!那作者要谈的是这个嘛,我们一起来看看犀利的乔治奥威尔说了什么。
原文精讲
原文1:
I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples (复习)of the world could meet one another at football or cricket(n.板球), they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield.
讲解点:
1. 开头提出话题的另一种思维:驳论式
Rebuttal结构=大众错误观点the misconception+转折批判point out its flaw
万能句型:听到人们这么说,我惊呆了!
I am always amazed when I hear people saying that......
2. If only只要,要是......就好了
电影《假如再爱一次》
Eg. If only you try, you could form any habits.
If only I knew how to win her to conversation!
3. 两个Meet不同翻译:球场meet“交锋”&战场meet“残杀”
4. Have inclination to do= incline to/intend to
思维小tip:名词&动词谁更洋气?
新三例子复习考考你,记得嘛?
His popularity is on the wane.人气下滑
Life was a perpetual struggle against poverty.全家人常年在贫困中挣扎。
Reading is a partial solution.读书可以解决部分问题。
5. 思维逻辑:运动促进人们的友谊!传说中的“友谊第一,比赛第二”。摸着良心,问问参加过比赛的自己!
原文2:
Even if one didn't know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies(《'ɔ:dʒi》of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles.
分析点:
1. 括号内容:example的修辞: Allusion典故
这次奥运会在纳粹德国进行,德国金牌榜上升到第一位,这届奥运会虽然组织得比较成功,但它由始至终受纳粹的控制Nazi,为德国法西斯施放和平烟幕起了推波助澜的作用,客观上替希特勒作了粉饰和宣传whitewash/gloss over,在政治上起了极坏的作用。
大会过去三年多,1939年9月,德国法西斯发动侵略战争Nazi launched the war of aggression,给包括德国人在内的全世界人民带来灾难worldwide catastrophe。 而这届奥运会也成为了希特勒宣传纳粹德国强大实力的一届。No peace! It’s more like a demonstration. ---to display their power
2. Orgies of hatred疯狂的仇恨
Orgy n.纵酒狂欢;放荡=debauchery
Eg. the drunken orgies of their youth他们年轻时的纵酒狂欢会
an orgy of spending大肆挥霍
an orgy of violence 滥用暴力
3. 逻辑:例证反驳后,开始转向说理。说理和举例你觉得哪个更难?
原文3:
Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win.
解析点:
1. Utmost
adj. a matter of the utmost importance
have the utmost respect for one’s efforts/accomplishment/seriousness
2. “Battle”的精神!什么才是对比赛和对手的尊重。
“放大招”+“尽全力” release our energy and fight to the last breath
Humility equals to disdain in the competition.
A Steady and strong rival plays a crucial role in our life.林丹&李宗纬 (相爱相杀)
Remember: Enjoy the competition, and also win!
