d which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.參考譯文德黑蘭的一個人年輕人由于對睡地板感到厭倦,于是積蓄多年買了一張真正的床。他平生第一次自豪地擁有了一張既有彈簧又帶床墊的床。頭兩天晚上,他睡得非常好。一陣大風(fēng)把床從屋頂上刮了下來,把它摔碎在下面的院子里。盡管床摔成了碎片,但年輕人卻奇跡地沒有受傷。年輕人看了一眼周圍的碎木片和碎金屬片,傷心地撿起了床墊,把它拿進了屋。一、 單詞講解New words and expressionstired adj. 厭煩的real adj. 真正的owner n. 主人spring n. 彈簧mattress n. 床墊gust n. 一陣風(fēng)sweep v. 掃,刮courtyard n. 院子smash v. 碰碎,摔碎miraculously adv. 奇跡般地unhurt adj. 沒有受傷的glance v. 掃視promptly adv. 迅速地tired / tire ,疲倦 sth tires Eg: The long class tires 。Talking to you tired 。/ I’m tired of staying at home and doing nothing.我厭倦呆在家里面無所事事。be tired out 筋疲力盡 be exhausted eg: After the long walk, I was tried out.走了那么久的路之后我筋疲力盡了。/She is such a tiresome 。Is this real gold? 這是真金么?2)adj.現(xiàn)實的,實際的,實質(zhì)的反義詞ideal,imaginary想象的,空想的A real experience 一次親身的經(jīng)歷The real world 現(xiàn)實的世界Real wage 實際的工資really ,實際上,真正的,的確,確定.realism reality ,真實realist ,畫家,現(xiàn)實主義者realistic realize ,意識到。 她承認自己的缺點。I own myself to be a loser. 我承認自己是個失敗者。with my own eyes 親眼eg.
