新概念英语第二册课文（英汉对照）[1-24课]Lesson 1 A private conversation私人谈话Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very intere sting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned ro und. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. I n the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said an grily. ‘It’s none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private con versation!'.Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch?早餐还是午餐？It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunc h time.Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside.'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy.' I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.' 'But I'm stil l having breakfast,' I said.'What are you doing?' she asked. ‘I’m having breakfast,' I repeated.'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!''Lesson 3 Please send me a card请给我寄一张明信片Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 'The n he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every d ay I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any ca rds to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and boughtthirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!Lesson 4 An exciting trip激动人心的旅行I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought a n Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small town in the centre of Austra lia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has neve r been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.Lesson 5 No wrong numbers无错号之虞Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a tel ephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pige on carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare p arts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.Lesson 6 Percy Buttons珀西·巴顿斯I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. Yesterday a beggar knocked at my d oor. He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this, the beggar sto od on his head and sang songs. I gave him a meal. He ate the food and drank the beer. Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went away. Later a neighbo r told me about him. Everybody knows him. His name is Percy Buttons. He calls atevery house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.Lesson 7 Too late为时太晚The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They we re expecting a valuable parcel of diamond from South Africa. A few hours earlier, s omeone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane and car ried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the do or, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!Lesson 8 The best and the worst最好的和最差的Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's gar den is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and veg etables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Ever y year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for th e worst garden in the town!Lesson 9 A cold welcome冷遇On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strik e twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelv e, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to wel come the New Year. At that moment everybody began to laugh and sing.Lesson 10 Not for jazz不适于演奏爵士乐We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord(翼琴). It was made in Germany in 1681. Our clavichord is kept in the living-room. It has belonged to our f amily for a long time. The instrument was bought by my grandfather many years ag o. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck th e keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked. Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of my father's.Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another礼尚往来I was having dinner at a restaurant when Harry Steele came in. Harry worked in a l awyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, b ut he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Harry saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. Whi le he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Harry sai d, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'Lesson 12 Goodbye and good luck再见，一路顺风Our neighbor, Captain Charles Alison, will sail from Portsmouth tomorrow. We shall meet him at the harbour early in the morning. He will be in his small boat; Topsail. Tapsail is a famous little boat. It has sailed across the Atlantic many times. Captain Alison will set out at eight o'clock so we shall have plenty of time. We shall see h is boat and then we shall say good-bye to him. He will be away for two months. We are very proud of him. He will take part in an important race across the Atlanti c.Lesson 13 The Greenwood Boys绿林少年The Greenwood Boys are a group of popular singers. At present, they are visiting al l parts of the country. They will be arriving here tomorrow. They will be coming by train and most of the youngpeople in the town will be meeting them at the station. Tomorrow evening they wil l be singing at the Workers' Club. The Greenwood Boys will be staying for five days. During this time, they will give five performances. As usual, the police will have a difficult time. They will be trying to keep order. It is always the same on these o ccasions.Lesson 14 Do you speak English?你会讲英语吗？I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said goo d morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do y ou speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!Lesson 15 Good news佳音The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when.I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I h ad sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could n ot afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. 'Don't interrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!Lesson 16 A polite request彬彬有礼的要求If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I fo und this note on my car:' Sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" a rea. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This not e is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!Lesson 17 Always young青年常驻My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite o f this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take p art in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another pl ay, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, 'My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!'Lesson18 He often does this!他经常干这种事！After I had had lunch at a village inn, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn't there! As I was looking for it, the inn-keeper ca me in. 'Did you have a good meal?' he asked. 'Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I ca n't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.' The inn-keeper smiled and immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me. 'I'm very sorry,' he said ' My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this.'Lesson19 Sold out票已售完'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.'I hurried to the ticket-office. 'May I have two tickets please ?' I asked.'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.Just then, a man hurried to the ticket-office.'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.'Certainly,' the girl said.'Could I have those two tickets please ?' I asked.'Certainly, 'the girl said, 'but they are for next Wednesday's performance.'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.Lesson20 One man in a boat独坐孤舟Fishing is my favorite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But thi s does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they ca tch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything-not even ol d boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.' It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only i nterested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!Lesson21 Mad or not?是不是疯了？Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built during the war, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of th e few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.Lesson22 A glass envelope玻璃信封My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post-office. Letters will cost a litt1e more, but they will c ertainly travel faster.Lesson23 A new house新居I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise.We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun b efore my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a l ovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It mus t be the only modern house in the district.Lesson24 It could be worse不幸中之万幸I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt ve ry upset.' I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manag er was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a k nock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $5o. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, ' there is still some honesty in this world!’。

新概念英语第2册第8课重点语法句型一、重要句型或语法1、比较关系因为在第一册已经学过，所以在本课可以主要采取复习的形式，回顾同级比较、比较级和级的用法。

需要注意的是：1、比较对象的一致;2、通过词缀法构成的slowly、friendly等词的比较级和级;3、级的标志性范围介词in/of的提示作用;4、不规则的形容词和副词的比较级和级形式。

2、不定代词侧重every与one/body/thing构成的不定代词，可复习some、any和no与one/body/thing构成的不定代词。

二、课文主要语言点Joe Sadners has the most beautiful garden in our town. 1)提醒学生三音节及以上的形容词或副词的比较级和级要用more和the most。

2)提醒学生表范围的in引导的短语是级的标志。

Nearly everybody enters for 'the Nicest Garden Competion' each year, but Joe wins every time. 1)nearly表示几乎，与almost意思相近，但nearly侧重修饰表数量的词语，而almost侧重修饰表程度的词语。

2)enter for表示参加，相当于take part in，而enter表示进入。

3)competition表示竞赛，动词原形为compete。

4)win表示赢取，注意区分win与defeat或beat的区别，win后接物，而defeat或beat后接人。

Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. large为不发音的e结尾，所以直接加r构成比较级。

前文出现的nice也是这样的用法。

Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. 1)注意hard的形容词和副词的形式相同。

新概念英语第二册第8课课文详解及语法解析课文详注 Further notes on the text1.Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. 几乎每个人都参加每年举办的“花园竞赛”，而每次都是乔获胜。

(1)nearly和almost 意义相似，表示“几乎”、“差不多”、“差点儿”的意思：I'm nearly/ almost ready.我快准备好了。

I have nearly forgotten his name.我差点把他的名字忘了。

He nearly missed the train.他差点没赶上火车。

(2)each和every均可译为“每一个”，二者常常能够互相代替使用：Every/ Each time I wash the car it rains.每次我擦洗汽车，天总是下雨。

但是each更强调个体。

它常用以指一个确定的并通常是有限的数目：Each child in the school was questioned.学校里的每个孩子都被询问过了。

every却不那么强调个体，常用来指一个大的、不确定的数目：Every child enjoys Christmas.所有的/每个孩子都喜欢过圣诞节。

另外，each既能够作形容词又能够作代词，但every只能作形容词：They each have a share.他们每人都有一份。

Each of us has his own work to do.我们每个人都有自己的工作要干。

2.Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. 比尔·弗里斯的花园比乔的花园大。

名词加-'s表示所属关系，构成名词的所有格。
