裕兴新概念英语第二册笔记 第49课Lesson 49 The end of a dream美梦告终 How did the dream end? Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed 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. 参考译文 德黑兰的一个人年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦,于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床。他平生第一次自豪地拥有了一张既有弹簧又带床垫的床。由于天气很热,他便把床搬到了他的屋顶上。头两天晚上,他睡得非常好。但第三天晚上起了风暴。一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来,把它摔碎在下面的院子里。那年轻人直到床撞到地上才醒了过来。尽管床摔成了碎片,但年轻人却奇迹地没有受伤。他醒来时,仍然躺在床垫上。年轻人看了一眼周围的碎木片和碎金属片,伤心地捡起了床垫,把它拿进了屋。他把床垫往地板上一放,很快又睡着了。 一、 单词讲解New words and expressions tired adj. 厌烦的 real adj. 真正的 owner n. 主人 spring n. 弹簧 mattress n. 床垫 gust n. 一阵风 sweep v. 扫,刮 courtyard n. 院子 smash v. 碰碎,摔碎 miraculously adv. 奇迹般地 unhurt adj. 没有受伤的 glance v. 扫视 promptly adv. 迅速地 tired adj.厌烦的 / tire v.使疲劳,疲倦 sth tires sb.某事令某人累 Eg: The long class tires me.这么长的课使我很累。 / Working all day tires him.工作一整天使他很累。 Talking to you tired me.跟你说话可真累啊。 tire of sth 对某事感到疲倦 tire of doing sth tired adj. 厌烦的/疲倦的 eg: Im extremely tired.我极度的疲倦 /Im dead tired我累死了 /Im tired to death. be tired of sb 对感到厌倦 be tired of sth/be tried of doing sth eg: The young man was tired of sleeping on the floor. 这个年轻人厌倦的睡在地板上了。 / Im tired of staying at home and doing nothing. 我厌倦呆在家里面无所事事。 be tired from+n./doing因而感到累的 Eg: Im very tired from running as fast as I can. 尽力快跑令我很累。 be tired out 筋疲力尽 be exhausted eg: After the long walk, I was tried out. 走了那么久的路之后我筋疲力尽了。 tiring adj. 令人疲倦的 /tired 感到疲倦的 /tireless 不易疲倦的,精力充沛的 eg: Thanks to your tireless efforts 多亏你的不懈努力 tiresome adj. 令人厌烦的,讨厌的,烦人的. troublesome, annoying eg: Selling your house can be a tiresome business.卖房子是一件很令人麻烦的事。 /She is such a tiresome girl.她是一个如此讨厌的女孩。 real 1)adj真正的,衷心的,诚实的 eg.
