Text
How many unsuccessful attempts did Mendoza make before becoming Champion of all England
Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago.
be popular = be in popularity
In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money.
fought with bare fists 赤手空拳的打斗
Because of this, they were known as 'prizefighters'.
However, boxing was very crude, for these were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.
One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764.
One of the most colourful figures = one of the most famous people
The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860, when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules.
draw up vt.制定、起草（-- draw up a plan）
-- Potatoes were introduced into Europe from South America.
Introduce（vt.传入, 引进）= bring in（介绍引进）
Though he was technically a prizefighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prizefighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game.
In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike.
In his day = in his full time = in his good day 在他的全盛时期
He was adored by rich and poor alike.
= He was not only adored by the rich but adored by the poor as well.
The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.
State 非常正式的声明
Mrs. Ramsay was instructed to place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door.
Instruct = order（vt.命令） = tell formally（adv.正式地, 形式上）
be instructed to do something
-- The journalist was instructed to obtain the exact statistics.
Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old.
rise to fame = become famous
This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then the most eminent boxer in England.
attract somebody's attention = attract the attention of somebody
He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn.
In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him.
turn against… 变成和...敌对
The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by
a fight.
bitter（adv.非常, 剧烈, 厉害）= Severely（adv.严格地, 激烈地）
A match was held at Stilton, where both men fought for an hour.
The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated.
Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time.
he lost for a second time = he lost again
It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England.
It is/was not until
注意： Jungle’s opinion: 在英语中喜欢把not和until连在一起用
例如：He didn’t leave until the rain stopped.
Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils.
He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as $100 for a single appearance.
as much as 多达
Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt.
in debt 欠债, 负债
After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten.
He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.
