Module 7 Great books
Unit 1 Were still influenced by Confuciuss ideas.
Recently?I’ve?read?a?great?book?called?Romeo?and?Juliet.I’m?deeply?moved?by?it. Have?you?ever?read?some?great?books? Who are your great writers?
Look at the pictures. Say who the people are and why they are famous.
Confucius was a great teacher and thinker in ancient China. He lived over 2000 years ago and he is well-known in many countries.
William Shakespeare was English and wrote plays and poems. Although he died about 400 years, his plays are still seen, and his poems are still read by many people.
Mark Twain was an American writer. His works are studied in schools. His stories are set in the south of the US over 100 years ago, and readers still enjoy them very much.
What’s up?怎么了?是一种非正式的用法。
Well, maybe… 嗯,也许…….
I suppose…我想……
Why don’t you…?你为什么不……?
1. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas.
2. Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today.
3. He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.
1. What’s up?
What’s up? 是一种非正式的用法,意思是“怎么了/出什么事了?”例如:
What’s up? You look very worried? 怎么了?你看上去很焦虑。
2. But I think I’d describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer.
这里的Confucius指孔子,为“孔夫子”的英语译名,是长期以来约定俗成的译法。more…than…在本句中表示“与其说是…不如说是…”。例如:
Success is more hard work than good luck. 成功来自努力,而非好运。
3. … and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today. …
make sense的意思是“合情理;明智;有意义”。例如:
No wonder how I tried to read it, the sentence still did not make any sense to me. 不管我们怎么努力地读,我还是不懂这个句子的意思。
Why did she do such a thing? It does not seem to make sense. 她为什么做这样的事?似乎没有道理。
4. I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.
discuss v.讨论;谈论
discuss的过去分词是discussed, 现在分词是discussing,
discuss sth. (with sb.)和某人谈论某事
e.g. We will discuss the plans with them at the meeting.我们将和他们在会议上讨
