课文辅导讲解:
  • Black clouds were making the sky very dark. 乌云把整个天空都变得黑压压的。Black指颜色黑的。它的反义词是white; dark指因缺乏光线的的阴暗。它的反义词是bright. 如：it was a dark night. 那是一个漆黑的夜晚。 We got home before dark. 我们天黑之前到了家。Dark horse. 黑马。指竞争中出现的意想不到的获胜者。如：The black horse was a dark horse in the final. 那匹黑颜色的马在决赛中一举夺魁。
  • they tried to play a card game, but it was hard to have fun with a serious storm happening outside. 他们原本想打一下牌，但外面的暴风雨太大，也没有心情打牌了。“try to do”: 试图去做… 但没做成。如：They tried to push the car to star the engine, but failed. 他们试图通过推车来发动发动机，但失败了。说明没能推动车。With + 名词 + doing是英语一个常用的结构。在此表示一种伴随状态。
  • He finally fell asleep when the wind was dying down at around 3:00 a.m. 到了凌晨三点，外面的风逐渐小了，他才终于睡着了。“fall asleep” 睡着了。指从清醒状态进入睡眠状态。 “go to bed”只是指上床睡觉。并不强调睡着。 如： I went to bed at ten last night, but I didn't fall asleep until eleven. 我昨晚十点上床睡觉，但十一点才睡着。 “die down” 渐渐变弱。慢慢熄灭。如：The fire died down. 火慢慢灭了。They waited till the storm died down. 他们一直等到风暴慢慢停息。 课文中用了进行时态。表示风还没有完全停下了。
  • Although the storm broke many things apart, it brought families and neighbors closer together. 虽然暴风雨把很多东西破坏了，但它把家人和邻居们的距离拉得更近了。 “break…apart” 把…拆开了。 “bring…close together” 把…拉近了。
  • we finished the rest of our dinner in silence. 我们静静地吃完了晚饭。”the rest” 是“其余的，剩余的”的意思。
  • when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. 纽约的世贸中心被恐怖分子摧毁时 “be + 过去分词 + by + 宾语” 是典型的被动语态的结构。被动语态中国如果不知道或没有必要说出谁是动作的执行者时。就不需要 “by + 宾语”这一部分。本课中还有被动结构。请自己找出来。
  • She remembers working in her office near the two towers. 她记得当时她正在双子座附近的办公室里工作。 “remember”后面接动名词和不定式意义不同。“remember doing”是记得已做过的事。remember to do是记着去做…。 如：I remenber closing the window. 我记得关好了窗子。 Please remember to close the window when you leave. 你离开时请记住关窗子。
  • I didn't believe him at first, 我开始不相信他的话。 “believe” 是相信…的话。 “believe in”是相信一个人（的为人，诚实）。如：I believe in you. 我相信你这个人。 I don't believe you. 我不相信你的话。

when 和 while 的区别
      when 当…的时候。所引导的句子中的动词可以是 “点动词” 也可以是 “续动词”。 “点动词”表示动作不持续。“续动词” 表示动作持续。如：when she heard the news, she was making dinner. 她听到这个消息时，她正在做晚饭。(hear属于点动词) When I worked in the countryside, I got to know her. 我在乡下工作时认识了她。(hear属于续动词)
      while 在…的同时。所引导的句子中的动词总是 “续动词”。通常强调对比。表示一个人“边…边…” 或两个人 “一个在…，另一个在…” 如：Please make notes while you listen to the teacher. 请边听老师讲课边记笔记。 I swept the floor while she cleaned the window. 我拖地时，她她在擦窗子。 I was busy doing the housework all day while he was watching TV all day. 我整天忙着做家务而他却整天看电视。
