Swimming through fear游越恐惧I was on a tour of France with my friends when our car pulled to a stop at the beach and we saw the Mediterranean Sea. Massive waves surged against large rocks that formed a waterproof jetty. People said this beach was known for its notorious rip currents. I shivered with fear. Nothing scared me as much as water.当时我和朋友正在法国旅行,我们把汽车停在海滩,眼前就是地中海。
巨浪翻滚击打着构筑起防波堤的偌大岩石。
人们说这里的海滩以其可怕的裂流而著称。
恐惧让我不寒而栗。
没有什么比水让我更害怕了。
Just the sight of the sea made me sick to my stomach.只是看到了海就已经让我觉得反胃。
I'd always loved water and been a good swimmer until last summer, when I'd decided to climb up to the highest diving board at the pool. I'd hopped from that height and hit the water with an incredible impact. The air was ousted from my lungs and I blacked out. The next thing I knew, my brother was pulling my feeble body out of the pool. From then on, my fear wouldn't recede; I was absolutely terrified of water.我曾经一直都是喜欢水的,并且直到去年夏天我都还是一名游泳好手。

新视野大学英语读写教程(第三版)Book2 Unit 3课文讲解Section AJourney through the odyssey years Background information 1.generation groups in the westGeneration gaps,referring to difference between young people and theirelders,especially between children and their parents,have often been attributed to rapid cultural change,particularly musical tastes,fashion,culture and politics. Some special terms for different generations have thus been coined in English-speaking countries:Generation Jones:A term used to describe the generation born right after World War ||in 1945 through 1965.It's usually identified with “baby boomers”.Key characteristics assigned to these members are less optimism,distrust ofgovernment,and generally used to refer to people born in the 1960s.This generation marks the period of birth decline after the baby boom. The generation was pushed toward adulthood at an age earlier than any other recent generations. They are more ethnically diverse and better educated than the baby boomers.Generation Y:Also known as the Millennial Generation and many of them are children of baby boomers .Their birth years range from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.It's generally marked by an increase use and familiarity with communications,media,and digital technologies.Generation Z:Also known as the net or the internet Generation. In the US and other Western nations,it is a common name for the people born from the mid.1990s or early 2000s through to the present. This generation has spend their entire life with the World Wide Web and high tech gadgets.2.the odyssey yearsThe term odyssey years originated from The odyssey,a long poem by the Greek author Homer,which is a sequel of the Greek hero,Odysseus. It describesOdysseus's long journey,trying to return home from adventures and war.For English speakers,as many as for many cultures,the very name of poem,The Odyssey,has become a special term for an epic journey,or great struggle. The man character in the epic poem(史诗),Odysseus,was wandering away from home and loved ones. During his journey of 10 years,he encountered repeatedtroubles and challenges. The key insight in Odyssey is that the essentials of the journey are not only outward struggle against tremendous difficulties,but,more importantly,inward struggles leading to personal growth. His journey is the one of self-discovery and of combating his ownarrogance and pride from his young rebel heart. Therefore, it makes senseto borrow The Odyssey from Greek mythology to describe the rebellious years young people usually go through. The term odyssey year is a metaphor of this special stage for young people.Detailed study of the text1Most of us know about the phases of life which we label to parallel different agegroups and life stages childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and oldage.(Para.1)Meaning: Most of us know about he different life stages that we describe according to different age groups: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.phase:n.[C] one of the sages of a process of development or change 阶段;时期 As time are changing, we?re entering a new phase in internationalrelation.随着时代的变化,我们正进入国际关系的新阶段。
