11.15段落原文

His memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in one sense was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry. On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning. He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.”

翻译/单词解析

hazy: 模糊的；朦胧的

well founded: 有充分根据的；理由充足的

critic: 评论家；批评者

reason: 这里作动词，表示推理

humbly: 谦虚地

superior: 比…好的;比…强的;优于…的；If one thing or person is superior to another, the first is better than the second. 反义词是：inferior 低等的,低于…的;下级的

common run of men : 这里表示普通人;一般人

语法分析：

1. So poor in one sense was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry.

这句话是so …that…句型，so+形容词/副词前置，句子形成部分倒装；还原成正常语序是：

in one sense, it was so poor that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry. 而还原之后我们发现，remember 之后的宾语后置了，这主要是表达上“尾焦、尾重原则的需要了”。正常写法为： remember a single date or a line of poetry for more than a few days.

2. On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning. 这句话也存在了宾语后置的问题，谓语动词的主要结构是：accept sth. as …, 即 accept the charge as well founded, 意思是:接受指责是有根据的，而made by some of his critics 是过去分词短语修饰 charge, 那么 that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning，则是charge 的同位语从句，具体说明指责的内容。

他说他记忆的范围挺广却都模糊不清。在某种意义上，他那记性是如此地差，以至于一个简单的日期、一行诗歌，他几天之内就会忘掉。但另一方面，他并不接受一些批评者对他做出的指责是有根据的，那些人说他：尽管善于观察，但是没有推理能力。他也谦虚地补充道：也许他优于常人的地方在于他能注意到那些不容易被关注到的事情，并能仔细观察它们。

造句：

这幅图让我们对当今社会正在发生的事有一个深刻的洞察——一群人抛弃了关爱和尊敬老人的传统美德，而这些美德被他们的个人野心和自我利益所取代。

This is a picture which gives us an insight into what is happening in today’s society— traditional fine virtue of loving and respecting the old has been abandoned by a large number of Chinese people and their personal ambition and self-interests have taken the place.

提示：insight ['ɪnsaɪt] ，名词：洞悉，深刻见解（可数名词）；洞察力（不可数名词）

常见搭配：

1. give an insight into sth.对…提出/提供深入的了解

2.Sth（A）give sb. an insight into sth（B）. A 使某人对B 有更深入的了解

例：The project would give scientists new insights into what is happening to the earth's

任务1：翻译

Pictures had given him considerable, and music very great, delight. In 1881, however, he said: “Now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have also almost lost my taste for pictures or music.” Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character.

任务2：默写+ 造句

默写：

这幅图让我们对当今社会正在发生的事有一个深刻的洞察——一群人抛弃了关爱和尊敬老人的传统美德，而这些美德被他们的个人野心和自我利益所取代。

「我们重复的行为造就了我们，卓越因此不是一个行为，而是一个习惯。」– 亚里斯多德 (哲学家)

造句：

缺乏信心注定会给我们的未来蒙上一层阴影。具体来说，如果没有自信，我们就不能客观评价自己和将会遇到的困难。

提示：specific [spə'sɪfɪk]，形容词，表示“特定的”，此外还可表示“具体的”

specifically, 副词：确切地说, 具体来说，写作高频用词

任务3 背诵：

“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.”

– Johann Goethe, Writer

「今天没有开始的事，明天绝不会完成。」– 歌德 (作家)

可以用来强调要“采取行动”，第三段的提建议措施也可以用这句话，比如：Joint efforts must be made immediately. Just as the famous saying goes, “ What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.” On the one hand, … . On the other hand, ….
