Reading Excerption (II)
point out: 表达某人观点
Marine Studio biologists have pointed out that, however intelligent they may be, it is probably a mistake to credit dolphines with any motive of life-saving.
(no matter) whether
Whether it be bird, fish or beast, the porpoicse is intrigued with anything that is alive.
eventually/consequently
Eventually, the turtle has been butted all the way down to the floor of the tank.
转移理由，承上启下
If it is not a question of resting the body, then perhaps it is the brain that needs resting?
分析原因
This might be a plausible hypothesis were it not for two factors. First... The second factor...
从经验获得
Experience teaches me that whatever a fellow guest may have of power to instruct or amuse when he is sitting in a chair, or standing on a hearth rug, quickly leaves him when he takes one out for a walk.
表明为什么
How it came about that snakes manufactured poison is a mystery.
尽管如此
Be that as it may, the nervee poison does its business with man fa more quickly than the blood poison.
join hands
And although no period or place in America history has been more absurdly romanticized, myth and reality did join hands in at least one arena, the conflict between the individual and encroaching civilization.
形容速度的变化
The trickle became a stream; the stream has now become a torrent.
常见事实
As is often pointed out, knowledge is a two-edged weapon which can be used equally for good or evil.
两个方面的介绍
In the constrary school the duck is supreme.
nor
It tires not nor does it boast of its power.
从现象到原因
Each civilization is born, it culminates and it decays. There is a widespread testimony that this ominous fact is due to inherent biological defects in the crowded life of cities.
说明一个理由
One allegation often made is that noise produces mental illness.
混淆因果关系
The the snag in this sort of anecdote is of course that one cannot distinguish cause and effect.
讽刺
This is a sceptical age, but although our faith in many of the things in which our forefather fervently believed has weakened, our confidence in the curative properties of the bottle of medicines remains the same as theirs.
make demands on sb
The great advantage of taking medicine is that it makes no demand on the taker beyond that of putting up for a moment with a disgusting taste, and that is what all patients demand of their doctors---to be cured at no inconvenience to themselves.
accord to
The Vctorians, realizing that the greatest happiness accorded to man is that provided by a happy marriage, endeavored to pretend that all their marriages were happy.
settle
In his own lifetime Galileo was the centre of violent controversy; but the scientific dust has long since settled and today we can see even his famous clash with the Inquisition in something like its proper perspective.

fortunately
Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds.
顶真
Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race.
虚拟语气
They would devour all our crops and kill all our flocks and heads, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals.
moreover/still more
We owe a lot to the birds and beasts who eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the other insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings.
nor
Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even related to them.
形容轻易就能看出来
One can almost tell the difference at a glance for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.
be engaged in/on one's behalf
How many spiders are engaged in this work on our behalf?
夸张
It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill.
shudder at/go out of one's way
It is true that during their explorations, they often faced difficulties and dangers of the most perilous nature, equipped in a manner which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought, but they did not go out of their way to court such excitement.
boast
Often a valley boasted no inn at all.
invariably: 解释一系列现象中相同的部分
Invariably the background was the same: dirt and poverty, and very uncomfortable.
concern
One case concerns an eleven-year-old school girl, Vera Petrova, who has normal vision but who can also perceive things with...
bring to the notice of sb.
Vera's curious talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute in the town of Ulyanovsk, near where she lives.
stranger still: 更加...
During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and stranger still, by moving her elbow over a child's game of Lotto, she was able to describe the figures and colors printed on it.
one
One thinks one know him very well.
exert a fascination upon
He has always exerted a strong fascination upon scientists and romantics alike.
haunt sb's imagination/hardly more: 说明一个性质，用另一个做比较
The Abominable Snowman who haunts the imagination of climbers in the Himalayas is hardly more elusive.
take leave to do
If there is one---which I take leave to doubt---then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves.
承认基本事实
Let's get down to the fundamentals and agree that the yound are after all human beings---people justlike their elders.
for one thing: 解释前文
I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity.

air of freedom/dreary commitment/mean ambitions/love of comfort/social climber/devotion to material things
否定论点
I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sports creates goodwill between the nations...
不愿意做什么事情
they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield.
尽力做某事
You play to win and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win.
work oneself into sth/at any rate
... of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, seriously believe---at any rate for short periods---that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.

于是 xxx 诞生了
So was born the echo-sounding apparatus, now in general use in ships.
steer clear of
by receiving the echoes, they could locate and steer clear of obstacles---or locate flying insects on which they feed.
隐喻
The tidy committee men regard them with horror, knowing that no pigeonholes can be found for them.
隐喻
Notice how the cold, colorless men, without ideas and with no other passion but a craving for success, get on in this industry, capturing one plum after another and taking the juice and taste out of them.
阐述一个观点
Needless to say, the disgraceful censorship code is an important factor in predetermining the content of these pictures.
另外阐明一点
In addition to the impressiveness of the settings, there is a use of the camera which at times seems magical.
总结的一段话
Wherever the fault may lie, the fact remains that it is the theatre at Oxford and not at Cambridge which is on the verge of extinction, and the only fruit of the combination of industry and the rarefied atmosphere of learning is the dust in the street and a pathetic sense of being lost which hangs over some of the colleges.
指明自己的，但是可能带有普遍性的事情
The best way to overcome it---so at least it seems to me---is to make your interests gradually more wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life.
draw a cheque in favor of sb.
When anyone opens a current account at a bank, he is lending the bank money, repayment of which he may demand at any time, either in cash or by drawing a cheque in favor of another person.

表明问题发生，引导解释问题
The problem set for society is not the virtues of the type so much as its adequacy for its function, and here grave difficulties arise.

Suburban Life
[9] Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
I have always enjoyed suburban life better than city life. Some might argue that the city provides more jobs, better social welfare and medical treatment, richer consumptions and entertainments. Why bother living in a little town, giving up all the pleasures in the city? My opinion is that the town endows us more spiritual joys.
The town life is comparatively slower, leaving us more time for all kinds of outdoor activities. It's not necessary to get up early enough to catch the first bus to your company. otherwise trapped in the traffic jam of rush hour, you might pray that your employer would have not noticed you are late. In the lunch time, you might have to eat fast to follow others' pace. And most of the time you are separated with the nature, shaded by the roof, stifled by the windows around. However in a town, you can slower down a little, since there is no hurry for the job and you may even take a noon nap at home. There are rivers, hills and forests around, where you could take a fresh breath and smell the flower once in a while. You may go fishing or just climb the hills to practice your skills or build yourself up without running dully on a running machine.
In town, neighbors usually have a closer relationship while in city, everyone seems to enclose himself with heavy doors. This is because density of people is much smaller in towns than in cities. Suburban people don't worry about the possible conflicts with their neighbor, especially when they are enjoying the slow life. On the contrary, urban people tend to be estranged with each other, fearing possible intrusion into their comparatively smaller space, which further worsens their daily feelings.
With development of technology, town life is becoming better and better. Online transactions eliminates the needs to go to cities for large scale shoppings. More hospitals are being set up in rural areas. More companies recognize the advantage of town life for their workers, since better sleeps and better mood encourage their workers to finish more jobs. Town life is much more diverse than in the past now and we are confident it will become more fascinating.

Television and Daily Communication
[8] Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opininion.
Many have argued that television has destroyed daily communication among friends and family because we spend most of our spare time watching TV dramas, live shows and etc., leaving no time for serious talks or thought exchange. It makes sense considering the limited time we have each day. However, the necessary communication has nothing to do with television itself. Television just gives us another possibility.
Television may provide us with topics for communications. TV dramas are usually well-designed stories, exhibiting common contradictions in our daily lives, which arouse our similar experiences we might talk about with our family. Live shows, expecially the livecast of influencing games, such as world cups, are common topics among friends. Maybe, it's argued that those topics are shallow and hollow. The fact is that all those topics are able to trigger comminication in a deeper level. The experience we encountered and the one in the drama show the different values each of us hold, which often leads to a discussion about how we might tackle the situation. By talking about games, we know each other's favors and ask for others' opinion of how to appreciate those distinguished stars, excellent games.
What's more, watching television together is a great chance of face-to-face communication. Lovers might arrange a little date simply by watching a moving story on television together; the family might share their laughter, sitting together and enjoying a talk show; friends might gather in a bar where a livecast of a soccer match is presented and they might shout for excitement.
However, the communication occurs only when we ourselves keep it in mind. The topics and chances television provides are only possibilities, and they are complementary for other topics and chances. By taking advantage of them, we will have more communication while ignoring them, on the contrary, leaves less time for communication. What we usually need to do is simply to keep in mind that we must be initiative in talking with others, steering topics to what we find in television when we have no other alternative, and remember to spend time togather watching television and talk about it if there is nothing else to do together.
