Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years...' 1)To end our special news bulletin,作為我們專題新聞的結(jié)尾。special news bulletin,專題新聞。 2)said the voice of the television announcer,這是一句倒裝句,正常語序是:the voice of the television announcer said。之所以倒裝,是為了避免句子頭重腳輕,而且同時可以兼顧整個句子的倒裝的完整性,因為said之前的to do結(jié)構(gòu)其實是said的賓語,這相當(dāng)于是個完全倒裝的句子。 3)announcer,播音員、廣播員。 4)go over,在這里表示電臺節(jié)目的“轉(zhuǎn)向”。go over常見的意思是“檢查;復(fù)習(xí)”。
    Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. 1)leading,主要的。 2)grower,種植者。相當(dāng)于planter。 3)注意grower后的兩個人名是同位語,起著補充說明作用,在閱讀時可以跳過,以節(jié)省時間。 4)expect,期待、期望。其名詞為expectation。 5)a splendid crop,大豐收。splendid,極好的、輝煌的。 6)harvesting,收割。 7)earlier than usual,比往年要早。
    Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. 1)between them在句中作為插入語,補充說明裝載車的位置。 2)a cartload of,一車的載量、大量。 3)注意gold(金子)與golden(金色的、鍍金的)的區(qū)別。 4)stalk,(植物的)梗。
    The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. 1)the whole village,全村的人。這屬于代指的修辭手法,用地點來指代人物。 2)day and night,日日夜夜。 3)gather,收(莊稼)。 4)thresh,打(莊稼)。 5)the September rains,九月的雨季。
    On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. 1)on the right,在右邊。on the left,在左邊。 2)注意help用了現(xiàn)在完成進行時,強調(diào)的是:她三十年來一直持續(xù)不斷在幫助丈夫。

    This god which has the head of a cow was normally placed inside a mummy. 1)which引導(dǎo)的是定語從句,修飾先行詞this god。 2)注意本句話定語從句的謂語動詞have用的是一般現(xiàn)在時,而主句的謂語動詞用的卻是一般過去時,其原因在于:從句描述的是這個蠟像的現(xiàn)狀,而主句描述的是過去這種蠟像一般都會放在木乃伊里。 3)normally,正常情況下。源自形容詞normal(正常的),其反義詞為abnormal(不正常的)。注意normal另外一個常用的意思是“師范的”,如ECNU,華東師范大學(xué),即East China Normal University。 4)place...into...把...放在某處。
