實(shí)在是不好意思镶骗，我也不知道為啥昨天就漏了這茬……安利雅思備考的小伙伴一個(gè)網(wǎng)站：考滿分赃春，可以在線聽(tīng)寫(xiě)語(yǔ)料庫(kù)內(nèi)容静秆，挺方便（也挺崩潰的）
Some time ago, an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea. An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini. The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization. Houses, often three storeys high, were built of stone. They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls. The city was even equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.
1.archaeology (also archeology American English)?考古學(xué)牵素。與此同源的還有archaeologist （n.考古學(xué)家）archaeological（adj.）
2.promontory /?pr?m?nt?ri/ 岬（角）严衬，海角。大概長(zhǎng)這樣笆呆，即“伸入大海的一塊狹長(zhǎng)的陸地”
3.at one time 一度曾經(jīng)请琳，可以理解為“once”
4.prosperous?繁榮的 。prosper的近義詞有flourish赠幕，thrive俄精，也是很多課程會(huì)區(qū)分的三個(gè)表示“繁榮興旺”的單詞。我查了一些資料榕堰，但發(fā)現(xiàn)現(xiàn)實(shí)用法中其實(shí)并沒(méi)有那么嚴(yán)格竖慧。因此我用了牛津詞典的原句來(lái)解釋：
prosper：人或是生意獲得成功的增長(zhǎng)，尤其是變有錢(qián)或有了巨大的盈利逆屡。
flourish：發(fā)展得好/茁壯成長(zhǎng)圾旨，這個(gè)詞還有一個(gè)“強(qiáng)調(diào)，大張旗鼓”的含義魏蔗，比如The?symphony?finishes?with?a?flourish. （交響樂(lè)在響亮的樂(lè)曲聲中結(jié)束）
thrive：變得十分成功/健康/強(qiáng)壯
5.civilization 文明砍的。
6.storey （?story American English）（樓）層。比如：the upper storey 上一層沫勿，a 50-story building一幢50層的大樓
7.?drainage n. 排水挨约。除了我們常見(jiàn)的排水系統(tǒng)，比如 drainage pipeline 排水管道 這類(lèi)詞組外产雹，drain 也有“耗盡”的意思诫惭，比如 Sally felt her anger drain away.?薩莉感到自己的怒氣慢慢消散了。
8.beneath?/b??ni?θ/ 常常與 under . below放在一起比較蔓挖。beneath偏書(shū)面語(yǔ)夕土，反義詞是on，你可以感受到這個(gè)介質(zhì)的緊挨程度和under瘟判，below有所區(qū)別怨绣。因此，用在形容人上拷获，beneath也有“在…的表面之下”篮撑、“與〔某人〕不相稱”、“低于”的意思匆瓜，比如：His mother felt he was marrying beneath him他媽覺(jué)得他娶的老婆配不上他（金貴的）兒子赢笨。Beneath her charming exterior lies a very determined woman.在她迷人的外貌下面是一個(gè)意志堅(jiān)定的女人未蝌。 Hahahah~~
The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the 15th century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of 15 statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted.
1.worship，注意前面不是work哦~這是一個(gè)宗教感很強(qiáng)的詞茧妒，意味“敬奉萧吠、禮拜”，可做v.和n.我們說(shuō)的“迎財(cái)神”就可以翻譯為 to worship the God of Wealth
2.fragment 碎片桐筏。可以通過(guò)這兩個(gè)句子感受一下這種“碎”和“裂開(kāi)”的程度：Nathan remembered fragments of that conversation.內(nèi)森想起了那次談話的一些片段纸型；Lough Erne fragmented into a series of lakes.厄恩湖被分成幾個(gè)湖泊。還可以聯(lián)想記憶一個(gè)?fragile 脆弱的梅忌。
3.?goddess?/?ɡ?d?s $ ?ɡɑ?-/ 女神狰腌。Venus was a goddess worshiped by the Romans.維納斯是羅馬人所崇拜的女神。screen goddess 銀幕女神铸鹰。
The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the 15th century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the 5th century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips.
1.dating from 追溯到…
2.remains 遺跡
3.foot 復(fù)數(shù)形式為feet癌别，英尺
4.hip 很多中英翻譯為臀部其實(shí)并不準(zhǔn)確，看下面的骨骼圖蹋笼。hip joint 髖關(guān)節(jié)展姐。hip還有“時(shí)髦”的意思，up-hip 落伍剖毯，hipster 潮流人
She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.
