Language Points
Read the whole passage and work out the main idea of each paragraph.
Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry's grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen's grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.
在弗吉尼亚州Grottoes附近,一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里祖父的房子通向附近的树林。斯蒂芬的祖父就是沿着这条路,将一块塑料绑在电线杆上,造出了一个简单的球筐,这与美国国家篮球协会(NBA)明亮的灯光和闪亮的球场相去甚远。
Para.1
Main idea: Stephen's grandfather built a simple basket for him.
Like his fathers, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn't realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn't easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.
像他的父亲,篮球明星戴尔·库里一样,史蒂芬花了很多时间在这个泥泞的篮球场上打球。他当时可能没有意识到这一点:这是他作为一名球员学会创造性和灵活性的地方。你看,每一次投篮,脆弱的塑料篮板摇摇欲坠。篮筐下的道路上都是突起和石块,这导致球向四面八方反弹。知道球会去哪里并不容易。结果他不得不调整自己的打法。他学到的另一件事是精准投篮。只有完全瞄准中心的投篮才进入笨重的篮筐里。这样,日复一日的练习帮助斯蒂芬提高了他的技能。
Para.2
Main idea: Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on a muddy basketball court.
Despite his father's successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father's footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally end up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson's star player.
尽管父亲事业有成,但很多人,包括他的高中队友和教练,都认为斯蒂芬太矮、太瘦、太弱,无法追随父亲的脚步。但是斯蒂芬坚持了下来。打篮球是他的梦想。他不会放弃。他最终在一所名不见经传的小学校戴维森学院打球,离他住的地方不远。他的创造力和毅力使他成为戴维森的明星球员。
Para.3
Main idea: Stephen's creativity and perseverance made him Davidson's star player.
Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone's expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.
2009年入选NBA,斯蒂芬加盟金州勇士。他的精准投篮和不断的努力,使他的表现超出了所有人的预期。2015年,斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA冠军,他带领勇士队获得了自1975年以来的第一个冠军。
Para.4
Main idea: Stephen performed beyond everyone's expectations.
After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, "I never really set out to change the game. What I wanted to do was just be myself..I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You've got to be able to put in the time and the work. That's how I got here. That's how I continue to get better every single day. Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible.
在连续两年获得“最有价值球员”后,斯特芬解释了他的哲学,“我从来没有想开始改变游戏。我想做的只是做我自己..我知道它篮球运动激励了很多下一代人,很多热爱篮球运动的人重视它的技能,重视你可以每天工作以变得更好的事实。你必须能够投入时间和努力。我就是这么过来的。这就是我每天不断变好的方式。斯蒂芬·库里激励别人要自信,这是一个活生生的证明,别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你的未来。在自信、努力、诚实和就篮筐的帮助下,他证明了一切皆有可能。
Para.5
Main idea: Stephen has shown that anything is possible.
Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry's grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen's grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.
A narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry's grandfather to the wood nearby.
(强调划线部分)
这是一个强调句,也称分裂句,用It is/was...that/who把一个完整的句子分裂开来,在语义上起强调作用。强调句只能对主语,宾语和状语进行强调,不能对谓语动词进行强调。如果把it is/was...that/who...三个词去掉的话,句子还是一个结构和语义完整的句子。
把需要强调的部分放在It is/was之后+that+句子剩余部分。
It is a narrow dirt road
