短文 In November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story for the first time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.
The Monkey King is not just any normal monkey. In fact, he sometimes does not even look like a monkey! This is because he can make 72 changes to his shape and size, turning himself into different animals and objects. But unless he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a man. To fight bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. At other times, he is able to make it big and long.
The Monkey King has excited the children of China for many years. And as soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.
1979年11月,英国的学生可以观看一个新的电视节目《猴子》。 他们中的大多数人都是第一次听到这个故事。 然而,这个故事对中国孩子来说并不新鲜。 孙悟空是中国传统书籍《西游记》中的主角。

美猴王不是普通的猴子。 事实上,他有时看起来甚至不像一只猴子! 这是因为他可以对自己的形状和大小进行72次改变,把自己变成不同的动物和物体。 但是,除非它能把尾巴藏起来,否则它就不能把自己变成一个人。 为了对抗坏人,孙悟空使用了一根魔法棒。 有时他可以把棍子做得很小,可以放在耳朵里。 在其他时候,他能把它做得又大又长。

美猴王多年来一直使中国的孩子们兴奋不已。 30多年前,这个电视节目一播出,西方的孩子们就对这个故事产生了兴趣,因为聪明的孙悟空一直在战斗,帮助弱者,从不放弃。

Notes on the Text

1. But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains? 但是不把山移开,愚公还能做什么呢?
instead of 是一个介词短语,表示 ”代替(某人或某物);而不是(某人或某物)“ 的意思。

再如:

Would you pass me the sugar instead of salt? 你能把糖递给我吗?不要递给我盐。
Instead of being annoyed, he seemed quite pleased. 他没有生气,反而看起来还挺高兴。

2. Once upon a time, there was a very old man … 很久以前,有一位老翁 …
once upon a time 的意思是 ”从前;很久以前“,是英文故事、童话开头常见的一种叙述方式,另一个类似的说法是 long (, long) agoa long time ago

又如:

Once upon a time there was a mountain. And in the mountain, there was … 从前有座山,山里有 …
Long, long ago, a bird gave a monkey a gift. 很久很久以前,小鸟送给猴子一件礼物。

3. But unless he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a man. 但是如果她不能把尾巴藏起来,他就不能把自己变成人。
unless 的意思是 ”如果不;若非;除非“,它引导的是一个条件状语从句,相当于 if … not。因此,上面的句子可以改写为:But if he cannot hide his tail, he cannot turn himself in to a man.

 再如本单元的这三个句子:

The wife told her husband that unless he left the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die. 妻子告诉丈夫,如果她不把孩子扔到森林里让他们自生自灭,全家人都会死。
Unless I do, we’ll be lost. 如果我不这样做,我们会迷路的。
Unless we do, we won’t find our way out. 我们如果不这么做,就找不到出去的路。

4. One year, the weather was so dry that no food would grow. 有一年,天气太干旱了,以至于粮食颗粒不长。
so … that … 是一个常见的句式结构,即:副词 so + 形容词或副词 + that 引导的句子,表示 ”如此 … 以至于 …“。又如本单元中的这个句子:That bird’s song is so beautiful that we should follow it. 那只鸟的歌声是如此美妙,我们应当跟着它走。
 有时这个句子的 that 可以省略,如:
Everything happened so quicky I didn’t have time to think. 一切发生得是那么快,我连思考的时间都没有。

5. We thought you were never coming back. 我们以为你们再也不回来了。
We thought … 表示人们过去的某些想法、判断等,可以译作 ”我们原想 …;我们本以为 …“。

又如:

I thought he would come, but he didn’t. 我原想他会来的,但他却没有。

6. As soon as you wake up, you must go to the forest with your father. 你们一醒来就必须和爸爸去深林里。
as soon as 表示 ”一 … 就 …“,再如本单元中这个句子:As soon as the moon rises, we can follow them instead. 月亮一升起来,我们就可以顺着它们(面包屑)走了。

7. It’s leading us to that wonderful house made of bread, cake and candy. 它在把我们引向那座由面包,蛋糕和糖果做成的美妙房屋。
 此句中 made of bread, cake and candy 作定语,修饰名词 house, 形容词 wonderful 也是 house 的定语。在英语中,大部分形容词作定语修饰名词时应前置,短语或句子作定语修饰名词时则后置。

又如:

the young people in the room 屋子里的年轻人
