　　Lesson21Daniel Mendoza 丹尼尔.门多萨

　　新概念3课文内容：

　　Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as 'prizefighters'. However, boxing was very crude, for these were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.
One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860, when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was technically a prizefighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prizefighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In this day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike.
　　Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then the most eminent boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton, where both men fought for an hour. 　　The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as $100 for a single appearence. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debt and died in poverty in 1836.

　　新概念英语3逐句精讲：

　　1.Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago.

　　两百年前，拳击比赛在英国非常盛行。

　　语言点:England为古英语的说法，亦为非正式说法。现在国际上的说法为the United Kingdom,如果我们称英国为England,会引起歧义，因此，提醒大家特别注意。

　　2.In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money.

　　当时，拳击手们不戴手套，为争夺奖金而搏斗。

　　语言点1:fought with即“用…方式打拳”。For在此表示“为了…”。

　　语言点2:由in those days拓展虚席一组时间状语:

　　in the past 过去
　　nowadays 如今
　　at present 当前
　　these days 目前
　　currently 时下

　　3.Because of this, they were known as 'prizefighters'.

　　因此，他们被称作“职业拳击手”。

　　语言点1:句子结构分析:because of this是一种简略的说法，可以避免说一大堆重复的话，言简意赅。

　　语言点2:由were known as总结表示“（被）称为”的短语:

　　be known as
　　be characterised as
　　be called
　　refer to A as B 把A看作B
　　regard A as B 把A看作B

　　4.However, boxing was very crude, for these were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.

　　不过，拳击是十分野蛮的，因为当时没有任何比赛规则，职业拳击手有可能在比赛中受重伤，甚至丧命。

　　语言点1:句子结构分析:for引导原因状语从句，其中还包含两个并列句，说明有两个原因。

　　语言点2:be seriously injured的意思是“受重伤”。以下词汇都与“伤”相关:

　　bleed 出血
　　bruise 挫伤
　　get hurt 受伤
　　hurt 感到疼痛
　　maim 使伤残
　　wound 受伤
　　harmful 有害的

　　5.One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764.

　　6.The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860, when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules.

　　1860年昆斯伯里侯爵第一次为拳击比赛制定了规则，拳击比赛这才用上了手套。

　　语言点:句子结构分析:not until在本句中不可理解为“不到…才”，正确的意思是“直到…才”。When引导时间状语从句，交代“1860年还发生了什么事情”。

　　7.Though he was technically a prizefighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prizefighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game.

　　虽然门多萨严格来讲不过是个职业拳击手，但在把这种粗野的拳击变成一种体育运动方面，他作出了重大贡献。是他把科学引进了这项运动。

　　语言点1:句子结构分析:though引导让步状语从句，for交代这样做的原因。

　　语言点2:technically在本句中充当强调副词，与它意义相近的词还有:

　　strictly 严格地
　　stringently 严格地
　　rigorously 严厉地
　　precisely 精确地

　　语言点3:bring science to…的意思是“把科学引入…”
