新概念英語第二冊詳解第42課:Not very musical

Lesson 42: Not very musical

并非很懂音樂

First listen and then answer the question.

聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。

What happened when the snake charmer began to play jazz?

As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!

參考譯文

當我們穿過舊德里的市場時走了很長一段路，我們在一個廣場上停下來休息。過了一會兒，我們注意到廣場的那一邊有一個帶著兩個大筐的耍蛇人，于是就走過去看看。他一見我們，就拿起了一個長長的上面鑲有硬幣的管樂器，并掀開了一個筐的蓋子。當他開始吹奏一支曲子時，我們才第一次看到那條蛇。它從筐里探出身子，隨著樂器的擺動而扭動。當耍蛇人突然又吹奏起爵士樂和現(xiàn)代流行樂曲時，我們感到非常驚奇。然而那蛇卻還是緩慢地“舞動”著。顯然，它分辨不出印度音樂和爵士樂!

自學導讀

stop 后面跟不定式時，表示停下其他活動去做不定式表示的動作：

On the way to the station, I stopped to buy a paper.

在去車站的路上，我停下來買了張報紙。

stop后面如果跟動名詞形式，則表示停止該動作：

I've stopped buying newspapers

我已不再買報紙了。

How can we stop him complaining?

我們?nèi)绾尾拍茏屗槐г鼓?

2.after a time, 過了一會兒，不久以后。

time在這里表示“(一段)時間”：

After a time, the dog stopped following me.

過了一會兒，那條狗便不再跟著我了。

3.…we had our first glimpse of the snake. ……我們才第一次看到了那條蛇。

glimpse表示“一瞥”、“一看”，是可數(shù)名詞，常用于下列短語中：

have/ get a glimpse of, catch a glimpse of, take a glimpse at:

He took a glimpse at the‘No Parking’signs outside Jasper's gate and parked his car there.

他瞥了一眼賈斯珀家大門外邊的那些“禁止停車”的牌子，

今天下午我瞥見黛比和丹一起在公園里散步。(無意的、短暫的動作)

4.It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz! 顯然，它分辨不出印度音樂和爵士樂!

(1)tell表示“辨別”、“分辨”、“識別”時常與 can，could，be able to連用。表達這些意義時，tell可以單獨使用，也可以與from構(gòu)成詞組：

(2)表示兩者之間的“差別”、“差異”時常用 difference between：

What's the difference between them?

他/它們之間有何區(qū)別?

語法 Grammar in use

have +名詞代替普通動詞

在第18課的語法中，我們學習了完全動詞have的一些用法，知道它既可以表示“具有”、“擁有”，又可以表示 eat, drink, enjoy, take等含義：

I have(got) a new car.

我有輛新汽車。

Have a good time!

祝你(們)玩得開心!

have的另一種用法是 have+名詞代替普通動詞表示“完成該動作”：

類似的動詞還有dance, fight, look, rest, ride, talk, sleep, swim, wash等。一般完全動詞的用法也適用于have：

Jim and I have just had a long talk.

我和吉姆剛進行過一次長談。
