9.without10．another譯文：地球的一個不眠之夜河北省東北部的農村不斷有怪事發生。三天來，村子里的井水升升降降，起起伏伏。農民們注意到，水井的井壁上有深深的裂縫，裂縫里冒出臭氣。農家大院里的小雞，甚至連豬都緊張得不吃任何東西。老鼠跑出田地找地方躲藏，魚缸和池塘里的魚都往外跳。1976年7月28日凌晨3點左右，一些人看到天上有明亮的光。即使天上沒有飛機，在唐山城外也能聽到飛機聲。在市內，有些建筑物的水管爆裂開來。但唐山市的一百萬居民幾乎都沒把這些情況當回事兒，當天晚上照常上床睡覺了。凌晨3點42分，一切都開始搖晃起來。世界似乎到了末日！20世紀最大的地震之一就在唐山市正下方11千米處發生了。200多千米以外的北京都感到了地震，全國三分之一的地方都有震感。一條8千米長、30米寬的巨大裂縫橫穿房屋、公路和水渠。地上一些洞穴冒出了蒸汽，石頭山變成了泥沙河。在可怕的15秒內，一座大城市就成為一片廢墟。人們遭受了極大的痛苦。他們當中三分之二的人在地震中或死或傷。成千上萬的家庭被毀滅，許許多多的孩子變成了孤兒，傷亡人數超過了40萬。可幸存的人們又怎么能相信這是自然現象呢？他們看到的一切幾乎都被毀了。市內所有的醫院、75%的工廠和建筑物、90%的家園都消失了。殘磚就像秋天的紅葉般覆蓋著大地。不過，風是刮不起它們的。兩座大壩垮了，多數橋梁不是塌了，就是無法安全通行了。鐵軌如今成了一條條廢鋼。數以萬計的奶牛再也擠不出奶來了，50萬頭豬和幾百萬只雞全都死了。井里滿是沙子，而不是水。人們驚呆了。接著，當天下午晚些時候，同第一次一樣強烈的地震再次震撼著唐山。一些救援人員和醫生被困在了廢墟下。更多的房屋倒塌了。水、食物和電都很難弄到。人們開始納悶，這場災難還會持續多久。并不是所有的希望都破滅了。地震后不久，部隊派遣了15萬名戰士到唐山來協助救援人員，數十萬的人得到了援助。救援部隊組成了小分隊，將受困的人們挖出來，并將死者掩埋。在唐山市的北邊，萬名礦工中大多數人是從礦井中被救出來的。援救人員為那些家園被毀的幸存者們蓋起了避難所，火車、卡車和飛機都向市內運來了干凈的水。慢慢地，這座城市又開始出現了生機。

1．Itseemedasiftheworldwasatanend！仿佛到了世界末日！點撥本句是個復合句，含有一個asif引導的表語從句，其句型為“Itlooks/seems/sounds/feelsasif...”。其中it本身無詞義，常與look,seem,feel,sound,smell等連系動詞連用。拓展(1)asif常可以和asthough

互換，意為“仿佛；好像”。如：

Itlooks/seemsasifyouhavegotnoexperience.

＝Itlooks/seemsasthoughyouhavegotnoexpe-rience.看來你似乎并沒有經驗。(2)asif引導的從句謂語動詞常用虛擬語氣，表示不真實或極少有可能發生或存在的情況：

若表示與現在事實相反的主觀設想，動詞用過去式(be動詞用were，適用于各種人稱)；若表示與過去事實相反的主觀設想，動詞用“had＋過去分詞”形式。如：Heactsasifheweresmoking.他的舉動好像在抽煙。(其實不是)Theytalkedasiftheyhadbeenfriendsforyears.他們談話的樣子好像他們是多年的好朋友。(其實不是)(3)asif引導的從句也可用陳述語氣，表示說話者認為陳述的事情是真實的或極可能發生或存在的。如：Itsoundsasifsomeoneiscoming.聽起來似乎有人來了。(很可能存在)運用完成句子

①It_______________________(聽起來似乎)someone_______________________(正在敲)thedoorwhenitblowsstrongly.②It_________________________(看起來好像)it_______________________(下了雨)butitwassunny. ③Itlooksasif_______________________________(她已經出去)forafewdays,becausethetableiscoveredwithdirt.soundsasif/thoughwereknockingatlooksasif/thoughhadrainedshehasbeenout

2．One-thirdofthenationfeltit.全國三分之一的地方都有震感。點撥句子的主語用了分數表示法。英語中的分數表示規則為：分子用基數詞，分母用序數詞，當分子大于1時，分母詞尾要加-s，分子和分母中間可以用連字符，也可不用。如： 三分之一——onethird或one-third或athird

三分之二——twothirds或two-thirds拓展當分數作句子主語時，謂語的單復數由分數后面名詞的單復數來決定。如：

Onethirdoftheapplehasrotted.

這個蘋果的三分之一爛了。

Onethirdoftheappleshaverotted.

這些蘋果中三分之一爛了。運用用所給單詞的適當形式填空

①Two-thirdsofthecotton________(send)toAmericatwodaysago. ②Onethirdofthestudents________(have)theirreadingclassinthemorningeveryday.wassenthave

3．Everywheretheylookednearlyeverythingwasdestroyed.人們無論朝哪里看，哪里的一切都幾乎被毀了。點撥everywhere作從屬連詞，引導地點狀語從句，相當于wherever或nomatterwhere。如：

Everywhere/Wherever/Nomatterwherehegoes,hegetswarmwelcome.

無論他走到哪里都受到熱烈的歡迎。拓展everytime,eachtime,themoment,anywhere也可作連詞引導狀語從句。如：

EachtimeIsawhim,Ithoughtofhispoorbrother.

每次看見他，我就想起了他可憐的弟弟。運用完成句子

①_______________________________________________(無論他旅行到哪里),hewilltakephotosofbeautifulsights. ②______________________________(我看到他的那一刻),myheartwasbroken.Everywhere/Wherever/NomatterwherehetravelsThemomentIsawhim4．Allhopewasnotlost.并非所有的希望都破滅了。點撥該句使用了部分否定的句子結構。部分否定是由表示“全體”意義的代詞、副詞或形容詞all,both,every,everybody,always等和否定副詞not連用構成的。如：

Everyonedoesn'tlikethestory.

＝Noteveryonelikesthestory.

并非每個人都喜歡這個故事。

Bothofthestudentsdon'tlikethestory.

并非這兩個學生都喜歡這個故事。拓展如要對上述的all,both,every,always等詞作完全否定，那就分別要用與之相對應的全否定詞，如no,none,neither,noone,never,not(never)．..atall等。如：

Allofthemcandoit.他們每個人都能做這件事。

→Noneofthemcandoit.沒有一個人能做這件事。

Heisalwayslate.他經常遲到。

→Heisneverlate.他從不遲到。運用完成句子

①___________________________(并非這兩個學生都)likethestory. ②___________________________(這兩個學生都不)likethestory. ③___________________________(這些學生沒有一個)likethestory.Bothofthestudentsdon'tNeitherofthestudentsNoneofthestudents四、課文內容復述
