Ⅳ.写作特色赏析
“积极——消极”模式
“积极——消极”模式(positive—negative pattern)由两部分组成:积极部分和消极部分。这两部分在语篇中出现的顺序比较灵活,可以是积极部分在前,也可以是消极部分在前,二者之间往往由过渡句连接。本文的首段就采用了消极部分在前的组篇方法。仔细阅读第一段,从文中找出相应的依据。
文章第一段的前两句中出现了不少表示消极意义的词,如:_____________________这些词向读者传达了一个消极的信息——攀登珠穆朗玛峰是很危险的。
紧接着,作者使用一个过渡句:___________________________将文章转移到积极部分,借助__________________和________________告诉读者攀登珠穆朗玛峰也有其积极的一面。

CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA: WORTH THE RISKS
Last year, hundreds of① people spent good money on an experience that__they__knew 【1】 would include crowds②, discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to③ the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives④. Yet, despite all this, by the end of⑤ the trip many were already planning to return. For these people, climbing__Qomolangma 【2】 is an experience like no other, making__some__feel__weak__and__others,__powerful 【3】.
【1】that引导定语从句。
【2】climbing Qomolangma为动名词作主语。
【3】现在分词短语作结果状语。
British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, “What we get from this adventure 【4】 is just sheer⑥ joy...We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for 【5】.” Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later. It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life 【6】.
【4】what引导主语从句。
【5】what life means和what life is for是两个并列的表语从句。
【6】It作形式主语,if引导主语从句。
In 2011, words similar to⑦ those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world 【7】. “It brings into focus⑧ what's important to you.” He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around⑨ and only one to keep going. You really have to focus on the one reason that's most important and unique to you 【8】. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out⑩ if you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when you want to stop 【9】.”
【7】who引导非限制性定语从句并在从句中作主语。
【8】that引导定语从句。
【9】if引导宾语从句。
With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure 【10】, is there also a scientific reason behind this risktaking Recent studies indicate that risktaking may be part of human nature 【11】 , with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars 【12】, as well as those who climb Qomolangma 【13】. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”, with the “T” standing for “thrill ”.
【10】with复合结构。
【11】that引导宾语从句。
【12】who引导定语从句。
【13】who引导定语从句。
Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities, Farley said, “They'll say, ‘I'm not taking risks, I'm an expert...’ They don't want to die and they don't expect to die.”
Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result 【14】.
With this in mind, are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks It's totally up to you 【15】.
【14】that引导宾语从句。
【15】It's up to sb.为固定句式,意为“由某人决定”。
[课文译文]
攀登珠穆朗玛峰:值得冒险吗?
去年,成百上千的人在一种他们知道会有拥挤、不适和危险的体验上花了很多钱,很多人会因为极度寒冷和低气压而生病,还有一些人甚至会失去生命。然而,尽管如此,旅行结束时,许多人已经计划重返这里。对这些人来说,攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一种无与伦比的体验,这种体验让一些人感到软弱,而另一些人感到强大。
英国登山家乔治·马洛里曾写过攀登珠穆朗玛峰的经历。“我们从这项冒险中得到的只是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和赚钱。我们吃饭和赚钱是为了享受生活。这才是生活的意义和生活的目的。”不幸的是,1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡,而他的尸体多年以后才被找到。至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登上珠穆朗玛峰峰顶。
2011年,美国登山家艾伦·阿内特说了一些与马洛里类似的话,那一年他登上了珠穆朗玛峰,并打算攀登世界各地的其他高山。“它会让你把重点放在对你重要的事情上。”他补充说,“纵使有一千个理由让你转身,但总有一个理由让你继续前进。你必须专注于那一个对你来说最重要也最独特的原因。它迫使你审视自己,去思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强,能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。”
大多数攀登珠穆朗玛峰的尝试要么大获全胜,要么彻底失败,这种冒险行为背后是否也有科学依据?最近的研究表明,冒险可能是人类天性的一部分,我们中的一些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花数年时间研究高空跳伞、飙车以及攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人。他把那些人的性格称为“T型人格”,“T”代表“刺激”。
法利在接受《洛杉矶时报》采访时谈到“T型人格”时说:“他们会说,‘我不是在冒险,我是这方面的专家……’他们并不想死,也不认为自己会死。”
研究还表明,我们寻求冒险的欲望与我们期望从结果中获益多少有关。
了解了这些之后,你认为攀登珠穆朗玛峰带来的好处值得人们去冒险吗?答案完全取决于你。
