B:我的小镇上发生的奇怪事情
C:我们附近的动物
短文 We live in small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet. Nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, "Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn't find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don't think so!"

Victor's next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. "At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn't see a dog or anything else, either. So I guess it can't be a dog. But then, what cloud it be?" One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. "I think it was too big to be a dog," she said. "Maybe it was a bear or a wolf."

Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We have no idea. Most people hope that this animal or person will simply go away, but I do not think that is going to happen. The noise-maker is having too much fun creating fear in the neighborhood.
我们住在一个小镇上,几乎每个人都互相认识。 过去这里很安静。 这附近没发生过什么事。 然而,这些天,我们镇上发生了一些不寻常的事情。 维克多是我们学校的一位老师,他非常紧张。 当他接受镇上报纸的采访时,他说:“每天晚上我们都能听到窗外奇怪的声音。 我妻子认为那可能是一只动物,但我和我的朋友们认为那一定是青少年在玩耍。 我父母叫了警察,但他们没发现任何奇怪的事情。 他们认为可能是风。 我可不这么认为!”

维克多的隔壁邻居海伦也很担心。 “起初,我以为它可能是一只狗,但我也没看到狗或其他东西。 所以我猜不可能是狗。 可是,那是什么云呢?” 该地区的一名妇女看到有东西跑掉了,但天很黑,所以她不确定。 “我觉得它太大了,不可能是一只狗,”她说。 “也许是熊或狼。”

我们镇上的每个人都感到不安,每个人都有自己的想法。 一定有什么东西在拜访我们附近的家庭,但它是什么? 我们不知道。 大多数人希望这个动物或人会简单地消失,但我认为这不会发生。 那个制造噪音的人在附近制造恐惧,玩得太开心了。

Stonehenge -- Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?


Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only on of Britain's most famous historical places but also on of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.

For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can't be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. "The leaders arrived in England much later," he points out.

Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in certain way. On midsummer's morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. "As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body," said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place or a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.

Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn't. "We don't really know who built Stonehenge," says Paul Stoker. "And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working -- and great planners!"

巨石阵——有人能解释它为什么存在吗?


巨石阵,一个岩石圈,不仅是英国最著名的历史景点之一,也是英国最大的谜团之一。 它每年接待超过75万名游客。 人们特别喜欢在六月去这个地方,因为他们想在一年中最长的一天看到太阳升起。

多年来,历史学家认为巨石阵是古代领袖试图与神沟通的神庙。 然而,历史学家保罗·斯托克认为这是不可能的,因为巨石阵是在几百年前建造的。 他指出:“领导人到达英国的时间要晚得多。”

另一种流行的观点是,巨石阵可能是一种日历。 这些大石头以某种方式放在一起。 在仲夏的早晨,太阳直射到石头的中心。 其他人则认为这些石头有医疗用途。 他们认为结石可以预防疾病,保持人们的健康。 一位游客说:“当你走到那里时,你可以感觉到能量从你的脚上移到你的身体。” 没有人知道巨石阵的用途是什么,但大多数人都认为这些石头的位置一定是有特殊用途的。 有些人认为这可能是一个墓地或纪念祖先的地方。 其他人认为它是为了庆祝战胜敌人而建造的。

巨石阵是在很长一段时间内慢慢建成的。 大多数历史学家认为它有近5000年的历史。 最大的谜团之一是它是如何建造的,因为石头又大又重。 2001年,一群英国志愿者试图建造另一个巨石阵,但他们没有成功。 “我们真的不知道是谁建造了巨石阵,”保罗·斯托克说。 “也许我们永远不会知道,但我们知道他们一定很努力——而且是伟大的计划者!”

Notes on the Text

1. Well, where did you last put it? 那么,最后一次你把它(书包)放在哪里了呢?
 本句中 last 为副词,意思是 “上次;最近的一次;最后一次”。last 除用于句末外,还常置于句子中简。

例如:

When I last saw her, she was working in Shanghai. 我上次见她时,她在上海工作。
When did you see him last? 你最近见到他是什么时候?

2. I think somebody must have picked it up. 我想一定有人捡到它了。
 此句情态动词 must 表示推测,意为 “一定”。英语中当情态动词后接 have done 时,表达对过去的事情进行推测,故 must have done something 表示 “过去一定做过了” 这样的意思。

例如:

He’s playing outside. He must have finished his homework. 他在外边玩,一定已经把作业做完了。

3. Stonehenge 巨石阵
 巨石阵位于英国伦敦西南 100 多公里索尔兹伯里平原上,是一处呈环形屹立的巍峨巨石建筑遗迹,也是欧洲著名的史前时代文化神庙遗址。巨石阵是如何建造的、其目的何在对现代人类来说仍是一个谜,这也正是巨石阵吸引人们之处。在英国人心目中,巨石阵是一个神圣的地方,每年都有大量的游客前往观光,感受巨石阵的神秘魅力。

4. For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. 多年以来,历史学家认为巨石阵是古代首领用来与神灵沟通的一座神庙。
 此句中的 where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods 是由关系副词 where 引导的一个定语从句,修饰名词 temple

5. The large stones were put together in a certain way. 这些大块的石头以某种方式被摆放在一起。
in a certain way 表示 “以某种方式”,其中 certain 表达 “某一;某个;某些” 的意思,仅用于名词之前。

例如:

The doctor is only at this hospital on certain days. 那位医生只有在某些日子才在这所医院里。
The library is only open at certain times of the day. 图书馆仅在一天的某些时段开放。
It’s wrong and dangerous to leave children under a certain age alone in the house. 把某个年龄以下的孩子独自留在家中是不对而且危险的。
