The Olympic Games

奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)

First listen and then answer the question.

聽(tīng)錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。

When was the last time this country hosted the Olympic Games?

The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years' time. As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. They will also be building new roads and a special railway line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the whole area will be called 'Olympic City'. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium. The fantastic modern buildings have been designed by Kurt Gunter. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up. We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.

參考譯文

4年以后，奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)將在我們國(guó)家舉行。由于將有大批的人到我們國(guó)家來(lái)，所以政府準(zhǔn)備建造一些新的飯店、一個(gè)大型體育場(chǎng)和一個(gè)新的奧運(yùn)會(huì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)游泳池。他們還將修筑一些新的道路和一條鐵路專線。奧運(yùn)會(huì)就在首都市郊舉辦，整個(gè)地區(qū)將被稱作“奧林匹克城”。工人們將在今年年底前把新路鋪好;到明年年底，他們將把新體育場(chǎng)建成。這些巨大的現(xiàn)代化建筑是由庫(kù)爾特.岡特設(shè)計(jì)的。大家都將急切地注視著新建筑的建成。我們都非常激動(dòng)，盼望著奧運(yùn)會(huì)的到來(lái)，因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)國(guó)家里還從未舉辦過(guò)奧運(yùn)會(huì)。

自學(xué)導(dǎo)讀

1.The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years'time. 4年以后，奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)將在我們國(guó)家舉行。

(1)作為專有名詞的一部分時(shí) games 的第一個(gè)字母要大寫。

(2)

這句話的語(yǔ)態(tài)是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)用于一般將來(lái)時(shí)(will be held)。

(3)in four years' time，4年之后。 in的這種用法在第9課的語(yǔ)法中已經(jīng)講過(guò)，它通常與將來(lái)時(shí)連用表示“……時(shí)間之后”：

I'll be back in ten minutes or half an hour.

我10分鐘或半個(gè)小時(shí)以后回來(lái)。

名詞的所有格用于表示時(shí)間在第13課的語(yǔ)法中已經(jīng)提到過(guò)：

He will arrive in three hours' time.

他3小時(shí)以后到達(dá)。

2.As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. 由于將有大批的人到我們國(guó)家來(lái)，

所以政府準(zhǔn)備建造一些新的飯店、一個(gè)大型體育場(chǎng)和一個(gè)新的奧運(yùn)會(huì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)游泳池。

(1)連詞as用于表示原因時(shí)通常位于句首，這是因?yàn)樗砻鞯脑驅(qū)τ谥v話對(duì)象可能是已知的，因此沒(méi)有必要再予以強(qiáng)調(diào)。

連詞 because任何時(shí)候都可以代替as來(lái)說(shuō)明一種或幾種原因，但是as則不一定總能代替 because：

As you can't type the letter yourself, you'll have to ask Susan to do it for you.

既然你自己不能用打字機(jī)打這封信，那你就請(qǐng)?zhí)K珊替你打吧。

because 一般跟在主句后面，強(qiáng)調(diào)講話對(duì)象可能不知道的原因：

Jim's trying to save more money because he wants to buy a car.

吉姆正設(shè)法多攢些錢，因?yàn)樗胭I輛車。

(2)building 后面的成分為它的3個(gè)并列賓語(yǔ)，每個(gè)賓語(yǔ)前面的冠詞都不可省略。

(3)Olympic-standard 是個(gè)“形容詞+名詞”形式的復(fù)合形容詞，作定語(yǔ)。雖然字典中通常不把它作為一個(gè)詞條，但它的含義是

一目了然的。

第32課中出現(xiàn)的 well-dressed 也是個(gè)復(fù)合形容詞，

其構(gòu)成為“副詞+過(guò)去分詞”，它已被大家接受，作為固定的詞條出現(xiàn)于一般字典中。

3.a special railway line，一條鐵路專線。

special 在此處表示“專門的”、“特設(shè)的”。line 既可以籠統(tǒng)地指兩地間的“鐵路線路”，

又可以具體地指包括路基、枕木等的“鐵路軌線”。

4.by the end of this year，在今年年底前。

by表示“在某時(shí)之前”、“

并不晚于某時(shí)的任何時(shí)間”。它不能與表示一段時(shí)間的名詞連用，只能與表示時(shí)間點(diǎn)的名詞或詞組連用，用于肯定句與用于否定句時(shí)有一定區(qū)別：

5.Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up.大家都將急切地注視著新建筑的建成。

(1)watch 在此處表示“關(guān)注”而不是真的盯著看。

(2)as在這里為連詞，相當(dāng)于while，表示“當(dāng)”、“正值”，它引導(dǎo)的從句雖然表示將來(lái)的動(dòng)作，但要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。

(3)go up 為短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，其含義之一為“(建筑物)被興建起來(lái)”：

Many new houses are going up in this district.

這個(gè)地區(qū)正興建許多新房子。

語(yǔ)法 Grammar in use

一般將來(lái)完成時(shí)(The future perfect simple tense)

(1)在第12課和第13課的語(yǔ)法中，我們學(xué)習(xí)了一般將來(lái)時(shí)和將來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)。

一般將來(lái)時(shí)除了可以用來(lái)預(yù)言將來(lái)發(fā)生的事以外，還可以表示“意愿”，如允諾、建議、請(qǐng)求、提議等：

The radio hasn't been mended yet.

收音機(jī)還沒(méi)有修好。

Never mind! I'll mend it for you.

別擔(dān)心!我會(huì)給你修的。(允諾)

Will you open the door for me please!

請(qǐng)你幫我開(kāi)一下門好嗎?(請(qǐng)求)

Shall we go for a swim tomorrow?

我們明天去游泳好嗎?(建議)

將來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)除了表示最近或不久的將來(lái)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作外，

還可以表示計(jì)劃或安排好的事：

A great many people will be visiting the country.

許多人將到我們國(guó)家來(lái)。(將來(lái)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作)

The government will be building new roads.

政府準(zhǔn)備修筑一些新的道路。(計(jì)劃好的事)

(2)將來(lái)完成時(shí)用于表示到將來(lái)某一時(shí)刻已經(jīng)完成的動(dòng)作：

將來(lái)完成時(shí)由will have+ 過(guò)去分詞構(gòu)成。它常與by和not…till/ until+ 表示時(shí)間的名詞連用：

I expect you will have changed your mind by tomorrow.

我希望到明天你就會(huì)改變主意了。

我們什么時(shí)候舉行下次會(huì)議?

2.look的一些固定短語(yǔ)

(1)look forward to常用于表示高興地

“盼望”、“期待”，to為介詞，因此后面只能跟名詞、代詞和動(dòng)名詞，不能接動(dòng)詞原形：

We are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.

我們盼望著奧運(yùn)會(huì)的到來(lái)，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)國(guó)家還從未舉辦過(guò)奧運(yùn)會(huì)。
