新概念英语第二册课文+课后答案第70课：Red for danger

(请同学们先听一边课文听力，再逐次查看课文与翻译内容。)

1.课文
During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

2.翻译
在一次斗牛时，一个醉汉突然溜达到斗牛场中间，人们开始大叫起来，但醉汉却没有意识到危险。当时那公牛正忙于对付斗牛士，但突然它看见了醉汉，只见他正大声说着粗鲁的话，手里挥动着一顶红帽子。对挑衅显然非常敏感的公牛完全撇开斗牛士，直奔醉汉而来。观众突然静了下来，可这醉汉像是很有把握似的。当公牛逼近他时，他踉跄地住旁边一闪，牛扑空了。观众欢呼起来，醉汉向人们鞠躬致谢。然而，此时已有3个人进入斗牛场，迅速把醉汉拉到安全的地方。好像连牛也在为他感到遗憾，因为它一直同情地看着醉汉，直到他的背影消逝，才重新将注意力转向斗牛士。

(课文精讲根据顺序分析课文重点)

1．…the drunk was unaware of the danger.……醉汉没有意识到危险。
While she read the book, she was unaware of the noise around her.
她看那本书时没有觉察到周围的噪音。
I was unaware that you were coming.
我不知道你要来。
2．it suddenly caught sight of the drunk,突然它看见了醉汉。
catch sight of是个固定短语，意为“看见”、“发现”：
As I came out of the shop, I caught sight of Dan in the crowd.
当我从商店里出来时，我在人群中看到了丹。
3．sensitive to criticism,对挑衅／批评敏感。
sensitive表示“敏感的”、“神经过敏的”、“易生气的”或“介意的”等，通常与to+名词连用，也可作定语：
Mary is sensitive to smells.
玛丽对气味很敏感。
Mary has a sensitive ear.
玛丽的耳朵很灵敏。
You're too sensitive.
你太敏感了（太容易生气了）。
4．The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself.可这醉汉像是很有把握似的。
be/ feel sure of oneself 表示“有自信心”：
She's always so sure of herself.
她总是这么自信。
5．The crowd broke into cheers…观众欢呼起来……
break into 的含义之一是“突然发出／做出”、“突然……起来”，有控制不住的含义：
On hearing the news, she broke into tears.
听到消息后，她大哭起来。
When Sally saw the woman wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse, she broke into laughter.
当萨莉看到那妇女戴着一顶像灯塔一样的帽子时，她大笑起来。
6．Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador. 好像连牛也在为他感到遗憾，因为它一直同情地看着醉汉，直到他的背影消逝，才重新将注意力转向斗牛士。
这个句子很长。for引导的句子与它前面的分句为并列句。for引导的分句中有两个时间状语，一是until引导的从句，二是before引导的动名词短语，其作用也相当于一个从句，由于主语也是it，用动名词形式更简洁些。
（1）look on可以表示“观看”、“旁观”：
Mary people just looked on while the two men robbed a woman.
当那两个人抢劫一位妇女时，许多人只是旁观。
（2）out of the way为固定短语，可以表示“不挡道”、“不碍事”：
While making meat pies, I always order the children to keep out of the way.
我做肉馅饼时，总是命令孩子们不要碍事。
