(#5) Week of April 23 - 英语阅读训练组

阅读小组训练第五周开始了，有关此次训练活动的初衷，请猛戳这里
上周发起了阅读训练小组素材推荐的活动，我把版里已有的/训练小组同学正在阅读的，都总结到了素材推荐的一楼，欢迎大家继续推荐，请猛戳这里

参与的形式还是不变，希望已经参与的同学继续坚持并保持/提升阅读速度，观望的同学速速加入。


欢迎大家交流阅读感受。


下面提问的同学，为了不占训练小组的版面，我已经给你私信了。请查收。

===================我是copy分割线=================== 参与形式：copy自己觉得好的句子，注明page number贴出来。同时最重要的，作为练习，必须把这个句法应用在自己生活的场景里面，也写出来。几乎天天都有汇报进度的话，会比较容易坚持。参见隔壁战拖组，凡是一个人单打独斗的，至少是帖子都没有follow下去，计划是否完成旁人就不知道了。跟组的看起来是坚持的要好些。 跟战拖组一样，每人一周只许占1楼，所有讨论集中在一个贴（这里）。一周内每日更新在自己的楼里，每完成一周一个学分。自己选的书或者指定书都可以，但是4周内必须完成（否则也太慢了）。全部学时完成的，还有1学分奖励。 3/26 周一开始吧，争取4周完成一本。任选1本开始就可以。不过大家都读同一本，争取match进度也不错，免得没有监督难以维持。这点暂时随意吧。 =================== 暂时就是这些规矩。有其他书推荐的话，下一个学习组里面用。其他建议welcome

什么阅读训练啊？

<Oracle Bones>  (1-225/773)#5 Week of April 231.In the traditional view of Chinese past, there is no equivalent of the fall ofRome, no Renaissance, no Enlightenment. Instead, emperor succeeds emperor, and dynasty follows dynasty.
2.Young people like her were flocking to cities all across the nation - more than one hundred million Chinesehad migrated, mostly to the factory boomtowns of the southern coast.


3.For the Chinese, it remained one of the most sensitive wounds of the past, and they hated the idea of anyoutsiders telling them what had or hadn’t happened.


4.But our friendship benefited from the fact that both of us dreaded going home at night.


5.The cheap versions sold well in Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as across the wide swath of Central Asia where borders had always been uncertain and ethnicities were indistinguishable to the untrained eyes.
6.He was handsome in a rugged way.
7.They seemed to leave their religion at home when they traveled for business.
8.Whereas the Chinese prided themselves on continuity, many basic characteristics of the Uighurs were fluid –their name, their writing, their religion, their political allegiances. But they always seemed capable of surviving on the margins.
9.He is short and stocky, dark-haired and long-lashed.
10.In his dissertation, Galambos notes that centuries of historians have beenobsessed with the tale of the book-burning, but they have ignored “the quietbut continuous process of selecting works for copying"
11.His point is simple: censorship captures the imagination, but the process of creation might be even more destructive.


12.He explains that people have a natural tendency to choose certain figures and events, exaggerate their importance, and then incorporate them into narratives.
13.In the 1980s, capitalist-style changes first gained momentum in the coastal regions, where factory towns sprang up to serve the new foreign trade.
14.The new economy changed so fast that windows of opportunity were brief.
15.Sometimes I wondered if Special English was the linguistic equivalent of McDonald’s – a slow-paced fast-food language.
16.The black market operated under a byzantine system of rumors and reports.


17.The reports always hinged on some subtle signal– a leak from a company contact, or an indirect statement by the government.


18.It wasn’t surprising that people reacted to the outside world in illogical ways.
19.Sometimes they compared its rising buildings to bamboo shoots after a goodrain.
20.They tended to describe their city’s development as the result of a powerful man’s patronage rather than as the natural product of free-market economics.
21.Below the road, a creek flowed sluggishly in the shadows. The street was unlighted, but dozens of men stood along the curb. The orange glow of theircigarettes hung like fireflies in the darkness.
22.In other big Chinese cities, the congestion seemed more impressive the higher you went, until at last you gazed over a jumbled sea of concrete: so many buildings, so many years of haphazard development.


23.He knew much more about cornstarch than you would expect for somebody who had found his true callings so late in life.
24.An exhibition whose artifacts reminded you how far you had slipped from reality.
25.But it felt different if you saw an event and then its echo. In that situation,a single thread stretched across the years,connecting two points in time.


26.Two years later, Deng Xiaoping initiated the reform period, and once more China was faced with the spiritual vacuum that had tormented the nation since the nineteenth century.

本周占楼 ，可以同时看多本书不。。。
<Country Driving>  Peter

1.Wang, like many scholars, believed that eventually the Chinese government will have to privatize land. With stable income from property taxes, they could end the current system of real estate speculation, but there isn’t much incentive to make a change now.

page 65, "His coming into the country at all, is a most insolent thing indeed, and I wonder how he could presume to do it. I pity you, Miss Eliza, for this discovery of your favorite's guilt; but really considering his descent, one could not expect much better."
"His guilt and his descent appear by your account to be the same," said Elizabeth angrily; " for I have heard you accuse him of nothing worse than of being the son of Mr. Darcy's steward, and of that, I can assure you, he informed me himself.
"I beg your pardon," replied Miss Bingley, turning away with a sneer. Excuse my interference.-It was kindly meant."
"Insolent girl!", said Elizabeth to herself."You are much mistaken if you expect to influence me by such a paltry attack as this...

--- this is the most interesting part in this novel, Miss Eliza, with the prejudice induced by Mr. Wickham, "who spreads tales about the wrongs Mr Darcy had done, add to the local society's prejudice". Mr. Wickham is finally founded to be a wrongdoers itself.
先入为主的偏见，双方都各持己见(偏见)。

page 68,
She saw her in idea settled in that very house in all the felicity which a marriage of true affection could bestow.
----A very complicated sentence.
A marriage of true affection could bestow all the felicity.


page 68, Mrs. Bennet seemed incapable of fatigue while enumerating the advantages of  the match. His being such a charming young man, and so rich and living but three miles from them...
----嫁给高富帅，好处数不清
It was, moreover, such a promising thing for her younger daughters, as Jane's marrying so greatlly must throw them in the way of other rich men;

Elizabeth blushed and blushed again with shame and vexation.

She is a headstrong and foolish, and does not know her own interests, but I will make her know it.

If liable to such defects of temper, she could not contribute to my felicity.

page 78, Though her manner varied however, her determination

page 87, I see what you are feeling, replied Charlotte, -you must be surprised, very much surprised.
I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair, as most people can boast on entering the marriage state.

其实这段婚姻挺好的，至起码Mr. Collins不是坏人，虽然没有爱情。

page 88, Elizabeth, feeling it incumbent on her to relieve him from so unpleasant a situation, now put herself forward to confirm his account, by mentioning her prior knowledge.

page 106
Mrs. Collins welcomed her friend with the liveliest pleasure.
page 107
Mr. Collins would have round his two meadows, but the ladies not having shoes to encounter the remains of a white frost, turned back...

Page 108
Elizabeth in the solitude of her chamber had to meditate upon Charlotte's degree of contentment, to understand her address in guiding, and composure in bearing with her husband.

page 131
Elizabeth felt herself growing more and more angry every moment, yet she tried to the utmost to speak with composure when she said.

Again his astonishment was obvious, and he looked at her with an expression of mingled incredulity and mortification. She went on

your manners impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form that groundwork of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike.
page 132
The tumult of her mind was now painfully great.
