新概念英语第三册课文(中英文对照)I. Lesson One (第一课)---------------------------------------A Puma at Large (豹在逃)Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult; the puma was often observed at a distance but it always disappeared into thin air.Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught.The countryside around London was beginning to lose its tranquility; local people were afraid to go out at night and children were driven to school. Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, the puma disappeared. Life returned to normal, but the experts warned that it would only be a matter of time before the puma decided to make its presence felt again.。

英语英译英阅读：《新概念英语》第三册L1Thehuntproveddifficult英语英译英阅读：《新概念第三册》L1 The hunt proved difficult一、“音形义”阅读课文，但切记：三者都必须是英语的任何“英译汉”式英语阅读都是失败的。

The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.二、英语阅读：音形义都是英语的1) The search proved difficult只就“英语阅读”而言，“最失败”的阅读莫过于只会把英语the search for“读成”、也只会“读成”中文“搜寻”。

可是遗憾的是，“读”到我这篇阅读训练的人，有几个“不是这么读的”？而且还深信：这就是“英语阅读”，“中文都不懂，又如何懂英语”？还记得前文读到的这句话吗？The hunt for the puma began in a small village1. Okay.I see.Okay.I see.If we look for someone or something,we can say We serrch for them.We can also say Wehunt for them.So,T o search for means To hunt for ,To look for.能把英语“读到”这个份上，还有什么必要“依赖”中文翻译。

最可怕的“英语阅读”就是“读到”search for时根本想不起，也不会说hunt for，不会用hunt for理解search for这样的英语阅读“读”再多也是白搭。
