31. Defeat Disability

原文：

Yang’s ambition was to get an architect certificate or become a bowling master. But when he was conducting experiments with a microscope in the basement, a tank on the bench exploded, sending him flying outwards through the exit. He was out of breath while knowing he lost his eyesight as well as 70% of his hearing. In other words, he was disabled.

Feeling clumsy, he was annoyed at first though nobody made fun of him. He cut out going outdoors and just sat around at home talking to his parrot or tortoise silently. His sister resigned to help him in many ways. Her assistance and encouragement were so beneficial to his psychology that he adapted to his disability soon and became outgoing again. In a college accessible to him, he studied politics and literature. He always sat in the front row near the entry without any absence and, with the help of his handy laptop, he studied well by means of dictation. His thesis, Abolishing Slavery, met with all professors’ approval. After class, he and his companions often played drum music, which was noisy but suitable for his hearing. After graduation, he made high profits by designing software for a firm. All in all, in his community, he won his dignity and people’s congratulations.

He always wished all the best to his disabled fellows and encouraged them, “Never mind! All you have is adequate to get your achievement.” [秒詞邦版權(quán)所有請勿復(fù)制]

譯文：

戰(zhàn)勝殘疾

陽的雄心是，要么獲得一張建筑師證書，要么成為一名保齡球高手。但是在地下室里的顯微鏡下進行實驗時，放在長凳上的一只大桶突然爆炸，把他從出口處炸飛了出去。當(dāng)知道自己除了失去70%的聽力之外，還失去了視力時，他完全喘不過氣來。換句話說，他殘疾了。

最初，盡管沒人取笑他，他還是非常氣惱于自己的笨拙。他取消了外出，總是在家里閑坐，和他的鸚鵡和烏龜默默相對。他的姐姐辭了職，用許多方式幫助他。她的幫助和鼓勵對他的心理是如此有益，以致他很快就適應(yīng)了自己的殘疾，再次變得外向起來。他在一所接受他就讀的學(xué)校里學(xué)習(xí)政治和文學(xué)，總是坐在靠近入口的前排，從不缺席。在他輕便好用的手提電腦的幫助下，他依靠聽寫的方式學(xué)習(xí)得很好。他的論文《廢除奴隸制》受到所有教授的一致認(rèn)可。課后，他和伙伴們還常常演奏大聲卻適合他聽覺的鼓樂。畢業(yè)后，他通過設(shè)計軟件為一家公司獲得很高的利潤。總之，在他的社區(qū)里，他贏得了自己的尊嚴(yán)和人們的祝福。

他一直都把所有最好祝愿給予他殘疾的同伴，并鼓勵他們：“沒關(guān)系！你擁有的一切足夠你取得自己的成就。”

長難句型：

1	原句	But when he was conducting experiments with a microscope in the basement, a tank on the bench exploded, sending him flying outwards through the exit.
1	解析	(1) But是發(fā)語詞：一是表示一種轉(zhuǎn)折意義，二是引導(dǎo)出一個句子，僅此而已。 (2) when是從屬連詞，he（主語） was conducting（過去進行時） experiments（賓語） with a microscope（with……方式狀語） in the basement（in……地點狀語）。從句中又出現(xiàn)介詞+名詞+介詞+名詞這種兩個介詞短語堆砌的語法結(jié)構(gòu)，同學(xué)們可以完全模仿。 (3) 主句：a tank（主語） on the bench（介詞短語作后置定語修飾主語） exploded（不及物動詞作謂語）。 (4) sending……是現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。以后可以模仿這種寫法，當(dāng)你寫了一個句子，再打個逗號，加個動詞ing，再以這個動詞ing為基礎(chǔ)寫接下來的賓語及其他成分即可，只要保證這個現(xiàn)在分詞和逗號前面句子的謂語動詞是一個同時發(fā)生的動作或者伴隨狀態(tài)即可，比如本句的現(xiàn)在分詞sending和謂語動詞exploded（爆炸）幾乎是同時發(fā)生的，所以send加ing，然后再以sending為基礎(chǔ)往下寫其他的成分。 (5) outwards是副詞，修飾動詞flying，往外飛。through the exit是介詞短語作地點狀語修飾flying：通過出口往外飛。
2	原句	Her assistance and encouragement were so beneficial to his psychology that he adapted to his disability soon and became outgoing again.
2	解析	(1) Her assistance and encouragement：形容詞性物主代詞+名詞作主句主語。中文也有這種表達：[他的支持和鼓勵]是非常重要的。 (2) were是主句的系動詞，so……again是表語。so是副詞，修飾形容詞beneficial，to his psychology是補語，that從句是結(jié)果狀語從句（so adj that……如此以至于）。 (3) 狀語從句：he（主語） adapted to（不及物動詞作謂語，后面接介詞to） his disability（賓語）soon（時間狀語） and became（這里是系動詞，不是謂語動詞） outgoing（形容詞作表語） again（副詞，修飾系動詞）。 (4) 翻譯時可以做順序上的適當(dāng)調(diào)整和拆解：她的幫助和鼓勵對他的心理很有幫助，他很快就適應(yīng)了自己的殘疾，又變得外向起來。
3	原句	After class, he and his companions often played drum music, which was noisy but suitable for his hearing.
3	解析	(1) after class：時間介詞+名詞做時間狀語，交代整個句子發(fā)生的時間背景。 (2) he and his companions：and并列主格代詞和名詞作主語。 (3) often為頻率副詞修飾謂語動詞played。 (4) “，which……”為非限制性定語從句修飾drum music。關(guān)系代詞在定語從句中作主語，was是系動詞，but左右兩邊連接兩個形容詞作表語。 (5) for是介詞：對于，對。后面接賓語名詞hearing（由動詞hear加ing演變而來）。 (6) 整句翻譯比較簡單：下課后，他和同伴們經(jīng)常打鼓，鼓聲雖然很吵，但很適合他的聽覺。注意：這里的定語從句翻譯方法就是用了解釋說明的方法（從前往后翻），而不是傳統(tǒng)的先翻譯定語從句再加一個漢字“的”再翻譯先行詞（從后往前翻）。

核心考點：

1	be (about) to do sth.	(1) 表示即將發(fā)生的動作，在時間上指最近的將來。如：We are about to start. 我們就要出發(fā)了。 (2) 在含有be about to do的句子中，不能再加時間狀語。如：The medical team is about to start. 醫(yī)療隊就要出發(fā)了。
2	近似詞	experiment 實驗；experience 經(jīng)驗，經(jīng)歷；bowling 保齡球；bowl碗；companion：同伴，陪伴；company：公司。
3	congratulation	大家注意：congratulation在日常使用的時候絕大多數(shù)都是以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)的：congratulations。
4	一詞多義	(1) master：n.大師，能手；主人；v.精通，掌握；控制；adj.最重要的，主要的；熟練的。 (2) study：v.學(xué)習(xí)，研究；n.書房。 (3) well：adv.好；n.井。
5	近似詞	adapt和adopt的區(qū)別： 1、意思含義不同。adapt是適應(yīng)于的意思，adopt是收養(yǎng)；采取的意思。 2、使用形式不同。adapt可以作及物動詞，用作及物動詞時意思是“使適應(yīng)，使適合”，接sb./sth.作賓語，“適應(yīng)”的客體?？捎媒樵~to引出。而adopt是及物動詞，接名詞或代詞作賓語。作“采用，采納，采取”解時，后面常接方法、方針、步驟、政策、意見、態(tài)度、計劃之類的名詞。
