Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Chapter 12~13
語(yǔ)言知識(shí)點(diǎn)
1. After all, it was good, ripe age; and Ralston's straight words had, in some ways, had an effect.
①ripe age 高齡柄慰。 ripe原本是“成熟”的意思堂淡，形容age時(shí)理解為“年邁的”含衔。
②have an effect 直譯為“有影響”薪伏，結(jié)合上下文可以理解為Chips聽(tīng)了Ralston的話(huà)搏明，“往心里去了”胆筒。take something to heart 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)也可以表示“往心里去速挑，在意”低零。還有個(gè)用法是Don't take something personally，表示“不要生氣水泉，因?yàn)榻酉聛?lái)要說(shuō)的話(huà)不是針對(duì)你的”善涨。
2. He felt that it would not be fair to hang on if he could not decently do his job. Besides, he would not sever himself completely.
這兩句話(huà)表達(dá)了Chips對(duì)工作的態(tài)度：如果不能把工作做好，賴(lài)著不走是不合理的草则。但是钢拧，即使要退休，他也不會(huì)完全脫離自己呆了這么久的學(xué)校炕横。
①decently作副詞源内，表示“可以接受的，像樣的份殿，相當(dāng)好的”膜钓。形容詞decent還可以表示“得體的”，比如說(shuō)卿嘲，父母總是希望我們有一份體面的工作颂斜，就可以說(shuō)成“a decent job”。同時(shí)拾枣，短語(yǔ) a decent number of 相當(dāng)于 many沃疮，表示“大量的”。
②sever 作動(dòng)詞放前，表示“切斷”忿磅，相當(dāng)于“cut off”。這個(gè)詞要注意發(fā)音凭语，讀作?[?sev?(r)]葱她，要和severe?[s??v??(r)] 這個(gè)詞區(qū)分開(kāi)來(lái)。
3. Staefel was thirty years his junior, but the two men got on excelently.
A is + 年紀(jì) + B‘s junior/senior似扔， 表示“A比B大或者小多少歲”吨些，一個(gè)非常實(shí)用的表達(dá)搓谆。
4. Once a term he dined with the Head, and once also with the masters.
dine 作動(dòng)詞，表示“進(jìn)餐”豪墅，是一種比較正式的說(shuō)法泉手。這個(gè)詞我印象比較深刻，因?yàn)閷W(xué)生總是記不住意思偶器，也讀不準(zhǔn)斩萌。今天又學(xué)到一個(gè)實(shí)用的表達(dá)：dine and dash，吃了就跑屏轰，意思就是“吃霸王餐”颊郎，很形象。
5. But one didn't guess what lay ahead.
lie ahead霎苗，將在今后出現(xiàn)或發(fā)生姆吭。非常實(shí)用、簡(jiǎn)潔的表達(dá)唁盏。
6. Armies clenched in deadlock from the sea to Switzerland.
in deadlock 僵持内狸，陷入僵局
7. I have to take classes myself, take prep for fools like that, work till midnight every night, and get cold-shouldered as a slacker on top of everything.
①take prep for sb, 給某人帶晚自習(xí)，對(duì)老師來(lái)說(shuō)真是非常實(shí)用的短語(yǔ)了厘擂。
②get cold-shouldered 受到冷落
③slaker n.懶漢
8. You look pretty fit, and, of course, you know all the ropes.
know the ropes 熟悉情況昆淡， 正在熟悉情況，可以說(shuō)：I'm learning the ropes.
9.I don't mean a lot of hard word for you - you needn't take anything strenuously - just a few odd jobs here and there, as you choose.
odd這個(gè)詞我記得有“古怪”的意思刽严，但odd jobs在這里表示的是“零星的工作”,odd是“偶爾”的意思瘪撇，相當(dāng)于今天文中出現(xiàn)的occasional.
語(yǔ)音知識(shí)點(diǎn)
1. breathlessly??['breθl?sl?]
之前一直以為這個(gè)詞的名詞和動(dòng)詞只是最后一個(gè)音節(jié)發(fā)音不同，今天查了一下才發(fā)現(xiàn)元音也是不同的港庄，動(dòng)詞breathe讀作[bri:e]，而名詞breath讀作['breθ]恕曲。
2. There was a lot of war talk.
war talk這個(gè)短語(yǔ)重音在前鹏氧。
3.1913； sixty-five
這兩個(gè)表達(dá)都是重音在后佩谣。
