一、课本原文
The great floodLast week in Geography class, we learnt that if all the ice in the North and South Poles melted, sea level around the world would rise, and many cities would be flooded and disappear. It started to worry me. What would happen if our city was badly flooded Would anyone remain alive Last night, I dreamt about a great flood: It was nine o'clock in the morning. My bedroom floor was a pool of water. I looked out of the window. Water was everywhere. It covered roads, parks and small houses. Large objects, such as coaches and boats, passed by my window. They were floating in the water. I could not just stand there! I had to do something!I tried to call my dad, but the line was dead. My computer was still working, so I sent him an email. I wrote, “Dad, there's a flood! What should we do ” He sent me an email back which said. “Kevin, my boss has given me some work. It's important to stick with it. I can't afford to sit around and worry about the flood.”Then I emailed my best friend. “What should we do about the flood ” I asked. My friend replied, “I have no time to think about the flood. I'm playing computer games …”I shouted, “The WATER! Look at the WATER!” But my cries fell on the deaf ears. In offices and homes, people just sat and stared at their computer screens. It seemed that they did not want to puters were more important than the flood.Very soon, the water came into people's rooms. It poured onto their desks and covered their computers. In surprise, people finally started to notice the flood, but it was too late.Then I awoke. There was no water. I was safe-for now. 试试你的翻译能力________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
二、重点语句解析
1. Last week in Geography class, we learnt that if all the ice in the North and South Poles melted, sea level around the world would rise, and many cities would be flooded and disappear.(P51,L1)
上周在地理课上,我们学习到,如果北极和南极所有的冰川都融化了,全球的海平面将会上升,许多城市将会被淹没并消失。
解析
that在句中引导宾语从句,通常可省略。后面的if引导条件状语从句,且句中有and连接两个并列的句子。
举例
He tells me (that) he is going shopping this Sunday.他告诉我这个星期天他要去购物。
If he comes, I'll call you.如果他来了的话,我会给你打电话的。
运用
Mary told me ____________ if she had time, she ____________ certainly go.
2. What would happen if our city was badly flooded (P51,L7)
如果我们的城市被严重淹没,会发生什么?
解析
What would happen if … 如果……会发生什么呢?

3. He sent me an email back which said, “Kevin, my boss has given me some work...”(P51,L26)
他给我回了邮件,说:“凯文,老板让我处理一些工作……”
解析
which在句中引导定语从句修饰email,此处也可用that替换。

This is the movie which/that I'm looking for.这就是我正在找的那部电影。
运用
Keep Running is a very relaxing TV programme ____________ is hot among the young people.
4. It's important to stick with it. (P51,L28)
坚持工作很重要。
解析
It's important (for sb.) to do sth.(某人)做某事是重要的。其中it为形式主语,后面的不定式才是真正的主语。这样可以避免句子头重脚轻。用于此句型的形容词主要有:easy,hard,difficult,important,interesting等。
注意:形容词若表示人的性格与品质,如kind,good,nice等,for sb.要改为of sb。
举例
It's very important to exercise.锻炼是非常重要的。
运用
学好英语对我们来说是重要的。(汉译英)
