1 As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.

1 英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士,小时候在哈罗公学上学。当时他可不是个好学生,要不是出身名门,他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。谢天谢地,他总算从哈罗毕业了,在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。后来,他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气,为他赢得了美名。他非凡的决心,不仅激励了整个民族,还鼓舞了全世界。

1 He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. (Para. 1)

Meaning: Churchill was not a good student. If he had not been from a famous family, he probably would have been dismissed from the school because of breaking the rules.

Sentence structure note:“Had he not been …” 为倒装的虚拟条件句,相当于“If he had not been …”。在书面语中,条件从句可以不用连词if, 而将谓语中的had, were 或should 等移至主语之前,构成倒装。例如:

Had it not been for his help, I would never have completed the project. 要不是他帮忙,我完不成这个项目。

Were you in my position, you would do the same. 你要是处于我这个位置,你也会这样做的。

Should you be passing, do come and see us. 如果你经过这里,一定要来看我们。

2 Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. (Para. 1)

Meaning: Fortunately, he graduated from Harrow and his mistakes there did not keep him from going to college.

3 He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. (Para. 1) Meaning: Finally he joined the army, and then his outstanding army career made it possible for him to be elected prime minister.

4 He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. (Para. 1)

Meaning: He became well-known because of his intelligence, wisdom, responsibility of a citizen, and remarkable courage in his refusal to give up during the most painful days of the Second World War.

5 His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. (Para. 1)

Meaning: He was determined to win the war, which inspired the British people and the world as well.

2 Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give

up! Never, never, never, never!"

2 在他首相任期即将结束时,他应邀前往母校哈罗公学,为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。校长说:“年轻的先生们,当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲,他提出的任何中肯的建议,你们都要听从。”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。温斯顿爵士站了起来——他只有5英尺5英寸高,体重却有107公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话:“年轻人,要永不放弃。永不放弃!永不放弃!永不,永不,永不,永不!”

students who loved their country, at his old school, Harrow School.

3 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas — none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent disc …… 此处隐藏:15750字,全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
