新概念英语第三册经典必背

新概念英语经典句子1、Pumas are large ,cat-like animals which are found in America. 美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。本句话亮点：当前一句末尾的一个名词和后一句开头的名词或者代词重合时，可以用定语从句巧妙的将两个分散的句子合二为一。Pandas are large, bear-like animals which are found in China.Dragons are mysterious, snake-like animals which are described in Chinese legend.2、When London Zoo received reports which said that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London ,they were not taken seriously.当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南45英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。本句亮点：西方的文化精神一直表现为对“客观性”的重视。义物本为主体，以自然为本位。而中国文化则以人为中心，认为世界一切皆因人的活动。因此，讲地道的英语句子第一步就是改变“人”作主语的习惯，学会直接用“物”作主语。The news came to me that he was down with pneumonia.The advertisement entitle “Tides in ,Dirts out” suddenly caught our eyes.The fierce garnished with cooking utensils has caught every guests attention. 3、However, when experts from the Zoo received more and more evidence, they felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.本句亮点：中文习惯用一个主语贯穿到底，以人物的主要动作串联起来。这样的句子在英文中是败笔。英文句子强调灵活变动，可以把主语不同的小句子通过不同的连词巧妙而紧密地连接。When the little boy at last came into their sight, their impatience is clearly bubbling up toward the boiling point, for the post the boy had taken was not what they wanted.Although the intimidation to Premier Zhu began to accumulate, he was not worried at all, for the anonymous intimidation was nave and ridiculous.4、The city was even equipped with a drainage systems, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.城里还铺设排水系统，因为在狭窄的街道底下发现了许多陶土制作的排水管道。本句亮点：为了写出生动的句子，我们应该避开简单乏味的“there be ”结构。放弃这种最基本的存在句型，换个角度，用主动语态或被动语态表达出相同的意思。 Hundreds of people gathered in the open to watch the film.Volumes of the dictionaries line the shelf.A dangerous spy is planted among us.5、 Despite her great age, he was very graceful indeed.尽管她上了年纪，但体态确实优美。本句亮点：太多的从句会让你的文章显得拖沓。所以以后用“although”的时候应多想一想能否换个角度，使句子简单而优雅起来。Despite a shortage of steel, industrial output has increased by two percent.Despite the better weather condition, the captain resolutely decided to abandon the warship.Cloning technology progresses quickly despite controversy.6、Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.这是人之常情：许多人往往愿意放弃较高的薪水，来换取作白领工人的殊荣。本句亮点：such 提到句首，敲到好处的起到了强调的作用。句子重心是that从句，他做such 的同位语，因为太长，所以放在了最后。整个句子使用倒装语序，一气呵成。Such is human nature that when the teacher gave the class twenty more hours of homework for summer vacation, the class kicked up a fuss.Such is arrangement by God that he met his future wife at a friends party.Such is the rule of nature that the fittest survive.7、This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of John who worked as a dustman for a famous corporation. 这常常会引起种种奇快的现象，在一家著名的公司当清洁工的约翰就是这样一个例子。本句亮点：如果用“John was just an example ”这个句子，读者会很困惑。As it did 中，it 指的是上一句的that 从句所指代的内容，did 指代give rise to curious situation。我们要学会用主动词do或be来代替前文出现的动词或动词短语。Sudden success can give rise to the loss of ones integrity, as it did in the case of Ryan who took the first place in this years baseball championship tournament.Forcing a child to learn can give rise to the opposite effect, as it did in the case of my seven-year-old nephew who went to school last year.Illness can be a sham to gain sympathy, as it did in the case of Toms wife who often makes troubles.Reading can keep ones mind from rust, as it did in the case of my early retired grandma who reads for hours every day.8、Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. 那个可怜的记者不仅被捕了，而且还被送进了监狱。本句亮点：本句的倒装，显示了英文变化就是美丽的特点。记住：倒装句的使用一定会使你的文章增色。Not only am I going to pattern myself on Hiber, but I will do better than him as well.Not only did his devotion win peoples recognition, but it was well paid in the end as well.Not only was the prince disinherited, but he was thrown out on the pavement as well.9、However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the presidents palace.不过，他终于获准发回了一份传真。在传真中他告诉编辑，他被转起来了。那时候，他正好在数那1084级台阶，这些台阶通向15英尺高的围墙，围墙环绕着总统府。本句亮点：出色的英文写作技巧体现在“能在一句话中表达出尽可能多的信息”。运用了定语从句、分词状语、分词作定语等方法把五个小句子连接的天衣无缝，值得学习！Soon afterwards, the government was forced to give out the announcement in which it informed the mass civilians that the government had taken measures to investigate the source of the illness in January while curbing the epidemic causing over200 deaths which panicked the whole country.Last weekend, the famous singer had an interview with the reporter in which he spoke highly of a currently popular TV series while pointing out some of its weak points leading to the series controversy which absorb more audience to watch the TV series.10、Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!看起来，狗很喜欢咀嚼硬币。本句亮点：“it seems”在句中作插入语，这一类型的插入语主要表达人们对事物的态度或推测，比如“I hope , I guess , I believe, he suppose, I wonder, I tell you ,I say ,Im afraid ,I sure ,you can see , you know”等，对文章某骗布局很有好处。 Drinking more water, I think ,will do good to your health.The snow, he reflected, would continue to fall and curtained the outlook from the citizen.The automobile, all of us could see, slowed down to go around the curves in the road.Rest in bed ,the doctor concludes, may cure a cold.11、Imagine their dismay when they found a beautifully-cooked wallet and notes turned to ash.可以想象他们发现一只煮的很好看的钱包、钞票已经化为灰烬时的沮丧心情。本句亮点：以为found后面接了一个宾语从句。然而仔细发现，如果是宾语从句则是时态用错了，那么 turned to ash 就是notes的宾语补足语，正是这种运用使得整句话简练的多。通过这句话，要学会直接用过去分词作宾补，从而省去罗嗦的被动语态的从句。Imagine her happiness when the secretary found the papers signed by the manager before dinner.Imagine their ecstasy when they found the lanterns lighted and placed near the opening.I abused myself deeply after I found myself deceived by a quack.The woman cried out in surprise when she found her husband invited to the same party.12、Cats never fail to fascinate human beings. 猫总能引起人们的极大兴趣。本句亮点：双重否定表达强烈的肯定，很有力度，于是常常不可避免的带有作者的情绪：”nothing is impossible”No one failed to notice that she went out in a hurry without the red overcoat.Enthusiastic workaholics and strict bosses are hardly unknown in Japan.There is no one here but wishes you well.If you meet a girl as polite as her , you will never fail to give her a hand.13、He wad greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him I was telling the truth. 一股怪味袭来，使他相信了我说的是真话。本句亮点： 拟人句使得句子更加精彩。“greet”这个词语在拟人手法中很常见，主动或被动语态都能使用。A somber (阴森)and terrible sight greeted her eyes.A smokers cough greeted his ears.The atmosphere that greeted the chairman was active and warm.When the door of the toilet was opened, offensive odors greeted the cleaners nose.14、Not wanting to frighten the poor man, she quickly hid in the small storeroom under the stairs.为了不吓住这个可怜的人，她赶紧躲到了楼梯下面的小储藏室里。本句亮点:一般人写句子多用不定式来表示目的，这样的目的状语太千篇一律。我们还可以用现在分词来表示谓语动词的目的。尽量的用上。The two countries sat down to talk, hoping to avoid further conflict.Not wanting to tear the clothes, the naughty boy gave up climbing the tree.Showing a desire to behave modestly, he did not want his renown(名声)to get out.15、There was a time when the owners of shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters in return for “protection”.芝加哥的店主和商行的老板们曾经不得不拿出大量的钱给歹徒以换取“保护”。本句亮点：“曾经”这个概念除了可以“once”表达之外，还有一个很美的句型“There was a time when.”。注意一定要用过去时。当我们蓦然回首往事的时候我们就派上了用场。There was a time when they got along with each other well. However , a slight misunderstanding severed the lifelong friends.There was a time when severe weather conditions hindered the rescuers.There was a time when she coldly refused his advances.16、He described it as “a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river” 他对该港作了这样的描述：“地理位置十分适宜，位于两座小山之间，一条大河从中间流过。本句亮点：这是用来描述地理方位的好例子。很多英语学习者能够很熟练的使用定语从句，却不很习惯的应用“in the midst o which, among which, before which“等来引导定语从句。The hotel has a very convenient situation located in the downtown before which stand a bus stop and a metro station.You can find the falls hanging on the steep cliff located beside the corn field to the east of which lies a cool cave.He described the on-water restaurant as “a very special situation located on the mirror-like lake on the both sides of which is the picturesque scenery composed of coco forest.”17、Despite its immensity ,its both simple and elegant, fulfilling its designers dream to create “an enormous object draw as faintly as possible.” 尽管此桥很大，但他结构简单，造型优美，实现了设计者企图创造一个“尽量用细线条勾画一个庞然大物”的梦想。本句亮点：这是一个分词作结果状语的典型例子。使用现在分词作结果，能成功的把两个句子合为一个紧凑的长句，但是要注意，两个句子的主语要一致，习惯在前面加only。The train began to accelerate its speed, hissing great cloud of smoke.When sleep came hard, even with a couple of sleeping pills, she got up and played some music, only making things worse.Modern people have been shooting and trapping the wildlife crazily since last century, creating dreadful havoc in nature.18、The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860, when the Marquis drew up the first set of rules.1860年昆斯伯里第一次为拳击比赛制定了规则，拳击比赛这才用上了手套。本句亮点：用notuntil引导的时间状语比一般的时间状语从句更加富有感情色彩，能表达出恨之太晚的情绪当然，要求主句的动词是短暂性动词，如果是延续性动词，则表示“此动作一直发生，直到。”He did not get up in the world until 1949, when the Peoples Republic of China was founded.The government did not put up a monument in honor of those killed in battle until five years later, when the civil war came to an end.The government did not succeed in

the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat. 另一方面，你一想到动物油炸土豆就会反胃。本句亮点：书面英文中，“名词优于动词或形容词”。这里的at the idea of 中的名词idea 代替了动词think。要学会用类似的短语：at the sight of ,at the smell of, at the taste of ,at the touch of ,at the news of等。Many of them decided to stay on at the sight of the injured soldiers.At the news of the godfathers coming, the whole town rolled out the red carpet.20、No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. 蜗牛在所有生物中，受到最多的赞美，同时也受到最多的厌恶。本句亮点：“nomorethan”的模式看似比较及，实为最高级。它比普通的最高级表达形式要深刻。No operation has received more praise and abuse than the cosmetic surgery.No classmate is more willing to do a favor for friends and neighbors than he.There is no better way than loud curing for his anger to find expression.No subject has the greasier feel than the wet soap.21、I opened the cupboard door and then stood in front of it petrified. 我打开柜门，站在柜门前，一下子惊呆了。本句亮点：不仅副词可以做状语，形容词也能做状语。形容词作状语的妙处是，可以对谓语动词和主语同时进行补充说明。形容词一般放在句末，前面多加逗号。When it was getting dark, he at last got home, hungry and thirsty.If you loose the imagination, passion and curiosity in your twenties, you would die young.The boy who had been in the kidnappers hands for the past two days returned home, safe and sound.The beautiful girl student was sitting in the front of classroom, silent.22、Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. 尽管我们可以自夸自己鉴赏力如何敏锐，但我们已经无法独立自主的选购自己所需的东西了，因为广告在我们身上施加着一种潜移默化的影响。本句亮点：把让步状语从句用的更活灵活现的方法，就是将其倒装。让步状语从句一般由though, although, even though, granting that, admitting that 等来引导。在倒装句中一般使用though, as 。倒装结构：强调部分+as/though +句子剩余部分。Strange as it may seem, I only did it for you .Experienced though they were, they were caught in a crunch.Much as I may pride myself on my good eyesight, I cannot see the dimples of the mattress.23、There are times when we could willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service. 有时，我们为了挽救自己的生命，愿意付出我们所拥有的一切。但就在外科大夫给我们提供了这种服务后，我们却可能为所支付的昂贵费用而抱怨。本句亮点：将“sometimes”这个再普通不过的单词换成句型“There are times when.”，会显得文章很有文采。而且可以在中间夹上不同的定语来修饰“times”.There are times when he has a great repugnance to cleaning up this disgusting mess.There were unhappy times when Hiber reproach his wife with extravagance.There are quiet times when he reads the hours away.There are times when the uproar reaches the ears of the students in the classroom.24、Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away when, a moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my hands.我耸耸我的肩膀掉头走开了。一会儿，他突然从后面追上来，把钢笔塞到我手里。本句亮点：课文妙在：用现在分词作；伴随状语将第一句话的结构变得紧凑后，接着用when把两个句子连接在一起。“when”在这里显然不是“当的时候”的意思，而是指在前一个动作的过程中，另一个动作突然发生了。“when”的这个用法值得学习，以后我们就能用它来连接表一前一后不同动作或状态的句子。Staring at him for a long time, I wondered why he saved every penny he had earned when, a minute later, he told me about his tough situation.Living alone for the past twenty years, she pondered bitterly upon the meaning of life when, after her graduation, she met her soul-mate in Rome.Crying help, he scrambled the children out of the burning house when, five minutes later, five trucks arrived on the scene.25、He used to sleep during the day and work at night, quite unaware of the fact that he had become the ghost of Endley. 他过去常常白天睡觉，晚上醋来干活，一点也不知道自己已成了恩德里农场的活鬼。本句亮点：有时一个简单的替换，会让你的句子正式不少。如很多情况下，可以用fact+同位语从句，来替换其他从句。在fact 之前还能假上不同的形容词。In spite of the commonly-known fact that it was not his fault, there was a grudge against him all over the country.He acted high-hat toward anyone poorer than he, unaware of the fact that every one is created equal.Because of the hard fact that his wife is really impossible, he has made up his mind to divorce her. Newspapers inform their readers of the fact that inflationary fears are depressing stock prices.26、Recognizing who the customer was, the manager was most apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely.由于经理认出这个顾客是谁了，便竭力的赔礼道歉，还严厉的训斥了店员。本句亮点：现在分词作状语时，千万不能忽略现在分词也能做原因状语这一条。有一些现在分词已经变为了固定的短语。如 being knowing that. Seeing that .等Seeing that it was too crowded, he stayed away from home all summer long .Being an enthusiastic philatelist, he was fascinated by those rare stamps.Having stayed in his bedroom for a whole day, he wanted to go outside for some fresh air.27、Nothing of value was found, but the numerous items which were brought to the surface proved to be of great interest.没有发现什么值钱的东西，不过打捞出来的众多的物品还是引起了大家的极大的兴趣。本句亮点:再一次重复书面英语的原则：“名词优于形容词或动词”。“valuable”和“of value”相比后者显然更加正式讲究。所以应该熟悉的掌握一系列的“形容词=of+ 名词”替代套路。His brave act earned him the opportunity to go to the university of dream, American Navy Academy.Your help is of great value to correcting the weather forecast.28、What invariably happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment.情况经常是这样的，许许多多的事情都偏偏赶在同一时刻出问题。本句亮点：要写出好句子并不难，平日里多积累一些能广泛使用的经典句型，尽量用他们取代自己写的那些平淡得不出奇的句子即可达到这个目的。如：“always” 可以变化为”“What invariably happens is that”，反之，“never”可以变化为“What never happens is that”,类似的句型还有很多。注意，不要犯重复的错误。What invariably happens is that when a cabinet goes out of office, it carries the entire ministry with it.It rarely happens that the victims can guess out the mint of these plots and intrigues.It never happens that he deals with the delicate situation with diplomatic handing.It sometimes happens that he conciliates the respect of his associates with his cooperativeness.29、Antique shops exert a peculiar fascination on a great many people.古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。本句亮点：翻译“某人钟爱某物”的典型思维模式是：“sb. Love /like/be interested in sth”然而，如果过来翻译，将sth作主语，用上“sth exert a fascinate on sb ”这个句型，那么你的句子就升级了。The newly published book exerts a fascinate on many young readers.Which kind of music exerts more fascination on you, country music or jazz?The pretty girl with large liquid eyes exerted a fascination on the young hunter.The report tells that that vodka exerts a common fascination on all Russian men.30、Reward or punishment are meted out quite independent of human interference.奖惩的实施是不受人的意志干扰的。本句亮点: 这句话中有两个替换的亮点都值得仿效：介词“without”被转换作介词短语，“quite independent of” 干扰这一个意思的动词形式被形式。He mimicked the famous singers voice reasonably well well quite independent of his teachers instruction.They held actives marking the 10th anniversary of the founding of the club quite independent of the school authorities permission.They gave a near-perfect performance quite independent of the national opera houses aid.The population of this city has always been increasing quite independent of the government s curb.31、At the time, this did not strike me as odd. 那时，我并未感到奇怪。本句亮点：当我们翻译“我没感到奇怪时”，我们脱口而出的句子肯定是“I did not feel odd”,因为这是符和中文的思维习惯的表达。然而我们要练到大师级的写作水平，我们需要在写完没个句子之后都问自己，有没有更加地道的表达方式。写作是平时一点一滴积累起来的，一篇出色的文章也一点一点改漂亮的。When he appeared ten minutes after the teachers departure, it did not strike me as unusual.The comedian on the stage had been telling jokes for half an hour, but it did not strike the audience as funny.The idea that one can communicate with a tiny spider does not strike the kids as silly.32、It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour, but barely chugging along at thirty.我突然意识到这趟快车并没有以时速90英里的速度呼啸前进，而是扑哧扑哧的向前爬行，时速仅30英里。本句亮点：表示“某人突然想到。”，用句型“It suddenly dawned on me that”或“It suddenly occurs to sb that.”会更经典。这里it作为形式主语，句末接真正的主语从句。It suddenly dawned on him that last month two of the best-selling singles in china were by Hong Kong singers.It suddenly dawned on the mother that milk scorches easily, which would damage the bottom of the pot.It suddenly occurred to him that the companys tax situation had been rigorously probed by revenue officials.34、Why people are prepared to tolerate a four-hour journey each day for the dubious privilege of living in the country is beyond me. 我无理解人们为什么情愿每天在路上奔波四个小时去换取值得怀疑的乡间的优点。本句亮点：模仿课文这句话的结构，表示“某人不理解。”或“某人不知道。”时，使用“.is beyond sb.”。同理，表示“某人够不着。”，不说“sb cannot rea
