第二部分 TEXT
In 1929, three years after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R.E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty.
參考譯文
美國探險家 R.E. 伯德在飛越北極3年之後, 於1929年第一次飛越了南極. 雖然開始時伯德和他的助手們拍下了飛機下面連綿羣山的大量照片, 但他們很快就陷入了困境. 在有個地方, 飛機似乎肯定要墜毀了. 只有在飛至10,000英尺的高度時, 它才能飛過這些山頭. 伯德馬上命令他的助手們把兩個沉重的食物袋扔掉, 於是飛機可以上升了, 它在離山頭400英尺的高度飛越了過去. 伯德這時知道他能夠順利飛抵300英里以外的南極了, 因爲前面再沒有山了. 飛機可以毫無困難地飛過這片茫茫無際的白色原野!
第三部分 LANGUAGE POINTS
1、In 1929, the American explorer, R.E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time.
for the first time:第1次
2、Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble.
Though:雖然，連詞引導讓步狀語從句，注意該句式中，用了though，則主句不能用but開頭
a great many:大量的，很多的
that lay below：定語從句修飾mountains
run into trouble:碰上麻煩
at one point:在某一時刻
it seemed certain that：看起來肯定...
seem的常見用法：
① seem + as if
② seem + adj.
③ seem to be
④ seem that...
注意：
it爲“先行主語”，真正的主語爲that引導的從句。it作先行主語時經常與seem，appear，look等連用
4、It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet.
feet:英尺，是foot的複數形式
get over the mountains：飛越這些山
...:只有...才...；不...除非...
5、The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet.
比較：
over 越過(距離)
clear (凌空)越過, 跳過,沒有接觸面的飛躍
go over 飛躍
by:（表示數量、程度等）以...之差
