A glass envelope 玻璃信封

【課文】

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

【課文翻譯】

我的女兒簡從未想過會接到荷蘭一位同 齡姑娘的來信。去年,當我們橫渡英吉利海峽時,簡把寫有她姓名和住址的一張紙條裝進了一只瓶子,又將瓶子扔進了大海。 此后她就再沒去想那只瓶子。但10個月以后,她收到了荷蘭一位姑娘的來信,F在這兩位姑娘定期通信了。然而她們還是決定利用郵局。這樣會稍微多花點錢,但肯定是快得多了。

【知識點講解】

1 dream [動詞]夢見,夢想

一般用法為dream + that 從句,或dream of doing sth.

其過去式和過去分詞均有兩種,dreamed或dreamt。

2 we were travelling across the Channel.

這里的the Channel 特指英吉利海峽。

3 throw [動詞]投,擲,拋出

throw的過去式為threw,過去分詞為thrown。

throw sth. into sth. 把某物扔進某處

throw sth. to sb. 把某物扔向某人,其目的在于“傳遞”,介詞to表示行為方向,動機是善意的。

throw sth. at sb. 把某物打向某人,其目的在于“打”,介詞at表示動作在于企圖攻擊的目標,動機是惡意的。

短語拓展:throw oneself into 積極從事 throw away 扔掉 throw about 亂丟;亂扔 throw up 嘔吐

4 think of 想到,考慮,設想。打算

如果think和of之間加入不同的詞,整體意思也會有一些區(qū)別,如:

think much of 重視,贊揚 think better of 改變主意,重新考慮 think little of 輕視

think nothing of 不把……放在心里,輕視 think well of 高度評價 think highly of 對……高度評價,尊重

表示決定的詞還有determine,resolve等,它們之間的細微區(qū)別如下:

decide 側重指經過思考、比較、討論或詢問之后做出的決定

determine 指經過深思熟慮之后決心做某事并堅持下去。

resolve 語氣很強,強調堅定不移的信念,暗含遠大抱負和堅強決心。
