一、【Text】课文

  In 1908 Lord Northcliffe offered a prize of £1000 to the first man who would fly across the English Channel. Over a year passed before the first attempt was made. On July 19th, 1909, in the early morning, Hubert Latham took off from the French coast in his plane the 'Antoinette IV'.

  三、【课文精析】

  Key sentence:

  In 1908 Lord Northcliffe offered a prize of &1000 to the first man who would fly across the English Channel.

  the first man to fly across...

  序数词和动词不定式to搭配连用中以代替其后的定语从句

  She was the only one to survive the plane crash.

  如果before所引导的时间状语从句之前出现段时间,则最佳翻译方法:才。。。

  offer a prize of sth(奖励) to sb 给予某人……奖励

  Eg: He offered a prize of 1,000 to the first man who fly cross the English Channel.

  attempt in one's attempt

  Eg: She failed in her attempt to swim the tunnel.

  make an attempt on 尝试,试图

  make an attempt to do 尝试,试图

  make no attept 没有……企图,尝试

  at that moment

  failed: break down

  fail 失败,忽视

  She failed to win the prize.

  be forced to do 被迫做……

  pick up

  with a plane: with 具有、带有

  had been making planes

  Key sentence:

  A week before, he had completed a successful overland flight during which he covered twenty-six miles.

  during which----during flight

  It looked as if: 似乎,看起来

  It looked as if there would be a heavy storm.

  make a short test flight

  make another attempt

  介词和关系代词搭配连用,当定语从句的关系代词是介词的宾语时,能够把可移位的介词提前放在关系代词的前面。(正式)

  在非正式问题和口语当中,介词一般要放在从句的末尾

  定语从句中介词位置

  决定介词位置的4个因素:

  1.如果是口语,介词位于句尾,同时关系代词可以省略。

  2.非正式问题,介词位于从句句尾。

  3.有些动词+ 介词,合成词组被看成是不可分割的语言单位,这个时候介词必须紧跟动词,不可移动

  take after account for

  4.在很多情况下,介词和关系代词构成独立的介词短语,在句中起状语作用,与从句的谓语动词毫无关系,而不是谓语动词的一部分,这时介词始终位于关系代词之前

  Eg: He described it as a very agreeable situation located within two small hills

  In the midst of two small hills, flowed a great river.

  Eg: He described it as a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river.(in the midst of跟后面的谓语动词flow没有任何关系)

  Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter in which the writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands.
