B. Crossing the River to School
C. Going to School Is Fun
STUDENT LIFE | 2010-04-20
How do you get to school? Do you walk or ride a bike? Do you go by bus or by train? For many students, it is easy to get to school. But for the students in one small village in China, it is difficult. There is a very big river between their school and the village. There is no bridge and the river runs too quickly for boats. So these students go on a ropeway to cross the river to school.
One 11-year-old boy, Liangliang, crosses the river every school day. But he is not afraid because he loves school. "I love to play with my classmates. And I love my teacher. He's like a father to me."
Many of the students and villagers never leave the village. It is their dream to have a bridge. Can their dream come true?
B.渡河上学
C.上学很有趣
学生生活|2010-04-20
你怎么去学校? 你走路还是骑自行车? 你坐公共汽车去还是坐火车去? 对于许多学生来说,去学校很容易。 但对于中国一个小村庄的学生来说,这很难。 在他们的学校和村庄之间有一条大河。 这里没有桥,河水湍急,船驶不动。 所以这些学生走索道过河去学校。
11岁的男孩亮亮每天上学都会过河。 但他并不害怕,因为他喜欢学校。 “我喜欢和同学们一起玩。 我爱我的老师。 他就像我的父亲一样。”
许多学生和村民从未离开过村子。 有一座桥是他们的梦想。 他们的梦想能实现吗?

Notes on the Text
1. I‘m not sure. 我不很肯定。(我不太有把握。)
这是一句表达自己对判断没有十足把握时的固定套语。其中的形容词 sure 表示 “肯定的;确定的’,它的疑问形式和肯定形式在口语中也十分常用:
Are you sure? 你确定吗?
I’m (quite) sure. 我(十分)肯定。
2. 关于 subway, subway train 和 subway sation
在美国,subway 表示 ”地铁‘ 这一地下交通系统或交通手段,常常用 take the subway 或 go by subway 来表示 “乘坐地铁”。在英国,“地铁” 称作 the underground。
例如:
the London Undergroud 伦敦地铁
subway train 表示 “地铁列车”。
例如:
I’m on a subway train. I’ll call you later. 我在地铁上呢,我回头给你去电话。
subway statioin 表示 “地铁车站”。
例如:
It takes him about five minutes to walk to the subway station from his home. 他从家走到地铁站约用 5 分钟的时间。
3. Lisa:How long does it take you to get to school? Jane:About 15 minutes by bike. 莉萨:你到学校要用多少时间;简:骑自行车大约 15 分钟。
1)It takes + sb. + 时间 + to do sth. 是一个十分常用的句型,其中动词 take 表示 “花费(时间)”。
例如:
It usually takes me about ten minutes to get there by bus. 乘公交车去那儿我通常要花十分钟左右的时间。
句型中的 “时间” 可用 long(长久)、a short time (短时)等来表示;sb. 和 do sth. 则可视具体的上下文进行省略。
例如:
It doesn’t take long to walk there. 走着去那儿花不了多长时间。
It’ll only take you a short time. 只花你一小会儿时间。
2)“by + 交通工具”属固定介词短语,表示 “乘坐、使用某种交通工具”。
例如:
by bus 乘公交车;by train 坐火车;by bike 骑自行车
请注意,英语中 on foot 表示 “步行;走路”,而不是 by foot 或 on feet.
4. So these students go on a ropeway to cross the river to school. 所以这些学生靠滑铁索来过河上学。
ropeway 表示 “索道”,是一种渡河用的交通方式。在偏远山区,人们由于各种原因没能建筑桥梁,便在山谷中水流湍急的河流端拉起铁索,依靠滑铁索过河。
5. There is no bridge and the river runs too quickly for boats.(河上)完全没有桥梁,而且河水湍急,不宜小船摆渡。
1)此句是英语否定结构的一种。当 no 用于构成否定句,主要用于名词之前,强调否定其后的名词,表示 “完全不;根本没有”。
例如:
There are no computers in that small mountain village. 在那个小山村里根本就没有电脑。
There is no milk in the fridge. 冰箱里没有牛奶。
2)run 表示 “液体的流动”,在不同语境中分别有不同的用法和含义。
例如:
The river runs into the sea. 这条河流入大海。
Your nose is running, Jack. Do you have a cold? 杰克,你在流鼻涕,是不是感冒了?
6. One 11-year-old boy, Liangliang, crosses the river every school day. 亮亮,一个 11 岁男孩,每天过河上学。
1)11-year-old 构成一个复合形容词,修饰名词 boy。请注意其中的 year 之后没有复数词尾 -s。这一构词结构较为常见。
例如:
a four-day trip 一次为期四天的旅行
a 30-page book 一本 30 页的书
a three-room house 一个三间屋的房子
2)school day 意思是 “在校学生上学的日子”,尤指周一至周五。与之相对应的词是 holiday(节假日;假期)(英式),vacation(假期)(美式),以及 weekend(周末)。
例如:
I can’t watch TV on school days, and I can only watch for two hours on the weekend. 在周一至周五上学期间我不能看电视,在周末我也只能看两小时。
7. The bus ride is never boring because … 坐公交车从来不会无聊,因为 …
ride 作为名词,表示 “乘车;行程”。
例如:
Can you give me a ride to the train station? 你能开车送我去火车站吗?
ride 作为动词,表示 “乘车;乘坐;搭乘”。
例如:
Tom often rides his bike to school. 汤姆经常骑自行车去上学。
