　　Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feel deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.

　　参考译文

　　最近, 找到失踪宝藏的梦想差一点儿变成现实. 一种叫 “探宝器” 的新机器已经发明出来, 并被人们用来探测地下埋藏的金子. 在靠近海边的一个据说过去海盗常在里面藏金子的岩洞里, 这种机器被派上了用场. 海盗们过去常把金子埋藏在那个洞里, 可后来却没能取走. 一支用这种新机器装备起来的探宝队进入了这个岩洞, 希望找到埋藏着的金子. 当这个队的队长正在检查洞口附近的土壤时, 那台机器显示出它的下面埋有金子. 队员们异常激动, 就地挖了一个两英尺深的坑, 但最后找到的是一枚几乎一钱不值的小金币. 队员们接着又把整个洞彻底搜寻了一遍, 但除了一只空铁皮箱外什么也没找到. 尽管如此, 很多人仍然相信 “探宝器” 很快就会探出值钱的东西来.

　　【课文讲解】

　　1、Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.

　　★dream n. 梦;v. 做梦

　　① n. 梦想

　　dreams come true 梦想成真

　　dreams ended 梦想破灭了, 梦断了

　　dream of … ……的梦

　　Dream of flying in the sky comes true.

　　② v. 做梦

　　dream of doing sth.

　　I dream of flying in the sky.(dream v)

　　come true 变成现实，(预言、期望等)成为事实，(愿意)实现

　　His dream to travel around the world at last came true.

　　2、A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.

　　一句话中只有一个动词, 如果再出现动词, 可以用and并列连接, 也可以变成复合句, 用when, because连接, 还可以使这个动词表示动词意思, 但不做谓语, 即非谓语动词

　　过去分词做定语, 表示 “被”，如ploughed field

　　n. +called 被称之为……的……(如果用短语修饰其他词, 则把短语放在被修饰词的后边)

　　the plane called a “Pilatus Porter”

　　be used to do sth. 被用来……

　　used to do 过去常常

　　同位语从句中的引导词只有一个that，不会用which

　　in the ground (更习惯于用 “under the ground” )

　　3、The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold.

　　it is said是插入语，当“据说”讲。

　　where=in which翻译时译为 “在那儿”，修饰 cave;一个地点状语从句

　　This is the river where I swim.

　　4、The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.

　　would表示过去的习惯性动作, 但此处表示 “used to” 过去常做

　　fail to do sth. 未能、不能、忘记做某事项 (fail后面接动词不定式表示否定)

　　He failed to see the reason why they sent him away.

　　collect的含义之一为“(去)取，接”

　　Don’t fail to collect me before you go to the party.

　　I’ll collect my post on my way home.

　　5、Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.

　　如果几个句子的主语是同一事物, 则可以把几个句子合并为一个句子。保留一个句子做主句, 其他的变成非谓语动词。非谓语动词采用何种形式, 则根据其与主语的关系, 如果是主动关系, 用-ing, 被动关系, 则用动词的-ed形式

　　主句与其他句子的位置安排要保持句子的平衡, 还要注意动作的连贯

　　The boy went home. The boy was crying. The boy was beaten.

　　=Beaten by sb, the boy went home, crying.

　　arm(ed) with 可以表示“带着、装着、穿着”等

　　Don’t worry. I’m armed with an umbrella.

　　You’d better arm yourself with a warm coat.

　　6、Very excited, the party dug a hole two feel deep.

　　Very exciting, … 形容词短语做状语

　　Tired of sleeping on the floor, …

　　Tired, I went I went home tired.句子顺序不同, 表达的意思也不同

　　two feet deep“数词+量词+形容词”结构可以做定语; 也可以做表语

　　I am five years old.

　　The street is five meters wide.

　　long/wide/high/deep，人有多高用 “tall”

　　7、In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.

　　in spite of / though / even if 尽管

　　something of value

　　of表示其所修饰的名词具有某种性质、状况，of加名词往往让人联想这名词对应的形容词

　　The news is of great importance to us.

　　of value=valuable 有价值的

　　of small value 价值很小(=almost worthless)

　　形容词要放在不定代词的后边

　　something important=something of importance

　　someone patient=someone of patience

　　【Summary writing】

　　1 Is‘The Revealer’a new machine or an old machine?Is it used for detecting buried gold or not?(which)

　　2 Did a search party use this machine or not? Where did they try to find gold recently?(Using this machine...)

　　3 Did they examine the cave thoroughly or not? Did they only find a small gold coin?Was it valuable or was it practically worthless?(Although...which)

　　4 Do many people believe that the machine may reveal something of value soon or not?(However)

　　1、machine 作为先行词, it 指代 machine, 会被which 所取代

　　2、Using this machine, a seach party tried to find the gold in came near the seashore.

　　3、Although 会引导让步状语从句, which 会引导一个定于从句

　　Although they examined the came thoroughly ,they only found a small gold coin which was practically worthless.

　　4、however 放在句首句中都可以, 要用逗号隔开

　　【Key structures】

　　表示过去习惯性动作

　　当我们提到过去某一特定时间时, 我们有时可用would来代替used to，有时则不可以，而且would需要指出具体时间，used to则不需要。

　　当used to暗示与现在的对照时，不可用would替换：

　　I used to drink heavily, but I have given up drinking now.

　　I never used to eat a large breakfast, but I do now.

　　当used to描写过去的状态时，也不可与would互换，would只表示过去特有的习惯或行为：

　　This sort of novel used to be very popular. 这种小说过去很流行.

　　I used to be a waiter, but now I’m a taxi-driver.

　　当used to不强调与现在的对比时，可与would互换。但一个故事开头时不用would，必须首先用一般过去时或used to描述背景，然后用would表示习惯性动作：

　　When I was a boy we always spent/used to spend our holidays on a farm. We would get up at 5 and we would help milk the cows.

　　【Special difficulties】

　　use, be used to, used to

　　use vt. 用，使用，运用，应用

　　May I use your dictionary/car?

　　I don’t know how to use the word.

　　be used to 习惯于(后面跟名词或动名词，be也可用get等代替)

　　I soon got used to getting up early when I started working as a baker.

　　I’m used to shopping alone.

　　used to 过去习惯……(表示过去有而现在通常已不存在的习惯，只用于一般过去时，后面只能跟动词不定式)

　　I used to get up early when I worked as a baker, but I don’t have to get up early now.

　　You didn’t use to smoke.

　　Gold and Golden

　　glod

　　① n. 金，黄金，金币，金块

　　He loves gold more than anything else.

　　② adj. 金的

　　When Frank retired, they gave him a gold watch.

　　All that glitters is not gold. (all…is not… 不是所有的，部分否定 not all)

　　golden adj. 金色的，(机会等)非常好的，兴盛的
