——教材原文——
It’s all about ME!
“Me”.It’s a small word with big meaning,and that meaning is as individual to each of us as the way we look.[1]Through interviews,I was able to discover what “me” means to other people,and how they have learnt to appreciate the beauty in themselves.[2]
Psychologist,Dr Hart
[1]本句为as…as结构,意为“和……一样”。
[2]discover后跟what和how引导的两个宾语从句。
Jade, 24, accounting manager
As a song in Ugly Betty puts it,[3] “It’s a pretty person’s world”.I understand this more than most,as I have always been plain -looking.[4] I’m a girl who’d love to look good.[5] Well,who wouldn’t?So, ever since I discovered selfie apps that could remove my freckles,enlarge my eyes and even slim my jawline,I have become addicted.[6] I spend hours every day editing my selfies,posting them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments.[7] Each “like” boosts my confidence. Dad thinks I am a narcissist,but what I say is that my pictures aren’t hurting anyone, so who cares?[8]
[3]句中As引导方式状语从句,意为“正如,正像”。
[4]句中as引导原因状语从句。
[5]who引导定语从句,修饰先行词a girl。
[6]本句是一个主从复合句。ever since引导时间状语从句,该从句中that引导定语从句,修饰先行词selfie apps。
[7]句中包含句型sb. spend some time doing sth.。
[8]句中but连接两个并列句;在第二个并列句中what引导主语从句,that引导表语从句。
Dr Hart says:
Obsessive online photo editing indicates a lack of self confidence and a desire for attention. However,the image Jade presents to obtain the praise of others is false. People who pretend to be someone they are not tend to misjudge themselves.[9]
[9]句中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词People;这个定语从句又包含另一个定语从句they are not,修饰先行词someone。
Anthony, 21, college student
I never really cared about my appearance. That’s why I could never understand my sister, who has 17 lipsticks and can’t decide which one to use every morning.[10] I only used to have five identical pairs of trousers and five identical shirts. When I first moved into my dormitory at college, this made my roommates quite confused as they saw me in the same clothes day after day. [11] Last month they registered me for a TV programme, A New You. It felt bizarre at first. I didn’t like being reviewed from head to toe. But I was surprised at how good I looked after the makeover! [12]
For the first time in my life I saw myself as a handsome and well presented young man. At that moment,I perceived that external beauty isn’t totally worthless.[13] It can be an expression of our personalities, helping us make a good and positive impression on others.[14]
[10]本句是一个主从复合句。why引导表语从句,在表语从句中,who引导定语从句,修饰先行词my sister。
[11]本句是一个主从复合句。When引导时间状语从句,as引导原因状语从句。
[12]句中how引导宾语从句。
[13]句中that引导宾语从句。
[14]现在分词短语helping us…在句中作伴随状语。
Dr Hart says:
It’s true that inner beauty is very important,but external beauty shouldn’t be completely overlooked.[15] It plays a part in the image we present to the world,and making an effort with your appearance can leave a positive first impression on others and boost your confidence.[16]
[15]but连接两个并列句。在第一个并列句中,that引导主语从句,It充当形式主语。
[16]第一个and连接两个并列句。在第二个并列句中,making an effort with your appearance是动名词短语作主语。
Emma, 17, senior high school student
Ever since I was little, I’ve been larger than other girls.[17] For a long time, this really bothered me. People would stare at me because I was “big” and I hated the way I looked.[18] My anxiety drove me to try every means possible to lose weight, including dieting and weight -loss pills, but this brought me nothing but pain and poor health. Everything changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus- size model, Tess Holliday. Although she’s larger than most other models, she’s really attractive and has the confidence to be herself — even in an industry full of beauty stereotypes.[19] Her story changed my ideas about what it means to be beautiful. I realised that my health, mental and physical, is the most important thing. Now I exercise a couple of times a week but just to keep fit. I mean, isn’t it better that I’m large and happy, instead of skinny and unhealthy [20]
[17]句中Ever since引导时间状语从句。
[18]本句是一个并列复合句,and连接两个并列句。在第一个并列句中,because引导原因状语从句;在第二个并列句中,I looked是定语从句,修饰先行词way。
[19]句中Although引导让步状语从句,主句中to be herself作定语,修饰confidence。
[20]句中I mean是插入语;that引导主语从句,it充当形式主语。
Dr Hart says:
I completely agree with Emma-being healthy is beautiful, and we should wear that beauty with confidence.[21] What I really admire is the way she has acknowledged that good health not only makes us more beautiful, but happier, too!
[21]and连接两个并列句。在第一个并列句中,being healthy is beautiful对上文起解释说明作用。
