如果想边读故事边学英语,一定不要偷懒忽略英语哦
下面这十一个GIF图片告诉你喵星人是如何攻占你家里盒子的
1. 每个人都知道猫喜欢盒子
Everybody knows cats love boxes
2. 不过他们也“确实”擅长打包
But they’re also “really” good at packing…is/are/am good at… …擅长…,例如:Kobe is good at basketball (科比篮球打得好)
pack[pæk] 作为动词,意为打包、包装、收拾行李,例句:I'm packing the books into the boxes (我正在把书打包到箱子里)
3. 特别是(打包)他们自己
Especially themselves4. 有时是无意地(打包了自己)
Unintentionally sometimesunintentionally [ˌʌnɪn'tenʃənəlɪ] 无意地,非故意地,例句 :I hurt him quite unintentionally (我不是有意要伤害他)
5. 额,也会互相(打包)
And, well, each other toowell 在这里是一个口语化表达,相当于中文中的“额…,那个…”,在一句话或一段话中间停顿时,或思考时使用,如
“What do you think of the new movie?” “Well, it’s not too bad”
(“你觉得这部新电影怎么样”“额,还不是太糟吧”)
6. 他们就是这么有效率,你知道吗?
They’re just so efficient, you know?7. 他们甚至不需要打包胶带
They don’t even need a packaging tapepackaging (形容词)打包用的,其原型为动词 package [ˈpækɪdʒ] 意为打包,
tape [teɪp] 胶带,很多带状物也可以用 tape来表示,如卷尺和磁带
8. 甚至也不需要对地球运作的物理原理有基本的认识
Or even a rudimentary understanding of the physical laws that govern the earth’s systemsrudimentary [ˌru:dɪˈmentri] 基本的、初步的
physical laws 物理原理、物理法则
govern[ˈgʌvn] 支配、控制
这句话是第七条那句话的后半句,觉得难理解的同学可以这样断句:They {don’t even need a packaging tape or even a rudimentary understanding of the physical laws (that govern the earth’s systems)}, 下划线的内容合起来为 动词+两个名词词组 的结构,两个名词词组用 or 连接起来,even为副词,意为甚至,小括号中 (that govern the earth’s systems) 为其前面的名词词组 physical laws的从句,是用来补充说明 physical laws 的。
9. 那他们要去哪儿呢?
Where are they going?10. 他们在这些盒子里藏什么了?
What are they hiding in these boxes?
And why? why are they always ready to skip town at amoment’s notice?am/is/are ready to... 准备好了(做某事),例句:I am ready to leave(我准备好出发了)
skip town [skɪp taʊn] 是一个俚语动词词组,表示突然消失了
at a moment’s notice是个短语,notice [ˈnoʊtɪs] 意为通知、提醒,a moment是指一瞬间、很短的时间,这个短语的意思是即刻、几乎没有预先通知地。例句:They're ready to go at a moment's notice(他们准备好可以随时出发了)

学习了上面的内容后,我们现在把所有的翻译和注释去掉,来重新读一遍英文吧:Everybody knows cats love boxes. But they’re also “really ” good at packing, especially themselves unintentionally, and well, each other too. They’re just so efficient, you know? They don’t even need a packaging tape, or even a rudimentary understanding of the physical laws that govern the earth’s systems. Where are they going? What are they hiding in these boxes? And why? Why are they always ready to skip town at a moment’s notice?https://www.buzzfeed.com/xfinity/literally-just-gifs-of-cats-tbh?b=1&utm_term=.pbLg7bP3j#.orvvGkoYb
