丑小鸭
波波和晶晶,宝宝和贝贝,咱们最好把历年来的四级听力对话都能听一遍,如果有空也可以听听toefl考试中的对话,听的时候要抓住主要的名词和动词,要提高生活情景的听力,最好多多看看好莱坞电影,听新闻的时候,尽量的要知道新闻发生的背景,这需要你涉猎诸多方面的知识。2007还有几个礼拜了,咱们的英语听力争取要一个大的飞跃,你有没有信心?像战士一样回答:有!波波在日记里写道,他今天看了20页的莎士比亚,背了120个单词,绕湖慢跑了一圈,看到波波每天灿烂生活着,安迪感到好高兴。让我们为波波鼓掌,让自己消极的一面永远背过身去!

汉斯·克里斯蒂安·安徒生1805年出生于丹麦首都哥本哈根以西93英里的欧登塞。他的父亲是一个穷鞋匠,他的母亲几乎不识字。
为了能成就一番事业,安徒生十几岁时便离开了家,来到哥本哈根的一家剧院。他在那儿当了几年芭蕾舞演员、歌手和演员,之后被皇家剧院的导演送入语法学校学习。
为了推销自己的第一部小说,年仅十七岁的安徒生写了许多推销信给可能的买主,表示只要他们愿意订购他的小说,他就会提供阅读和表演服务。
安徒生一生著有6部小说,80多部戏剧,大量游记和诗集。但流传最广的是他创作的212个童话故事。
安徒生的许多童话故事都具有独创性,或是取材于他丰富的生活和旅行经历,这是他与格林兄弟的不同之处。
到他1875年去世时,安徒生早已摆脱了当年的穷困,他的作品享誉全球。这不禁让人想起他的童话故事《丑小鸭》,丑小鸭历尽磨难终于变成了美丽的天鹅。
●解释
*hanschristianandersen:安徒生的全名
*mile:英里,1mile=1.609km
*shoemaker:鞋匠。
*nearlyilliterate:几近文盲。literate:有文化的,那么il-作为前缀可以否定literate,同样的词还有illegal,所以亲爱的波波,你记住literate,legal就记住了illiterateandillegal.
*teen:13-19岁,earlyteen大约是13-15岁,lateteen:18,19岁。
*seekone"sfortune:追究理想,成就事业。
*strugglefor:打拼,为...努力。areyoustrugglingforyourbetterlife?
*balletdancer:芭蕾舞演员,ballet这词来自法语。
*besent:被送往...
*grammarschool:语法学校
*director:导演,指挥
*royaltheatre:皇家剧院,theatre或者是theater都可以.
*tosellhisfirstnovel:to引导的状语.
*mass-produce:大量制作,大批生产
*asalesletter:一封推销信
*offer:提供,还有出价的意思,做名词的时候可以是贸易里的"实盘".
*presumptivebuyers:假设的顾客.presumptive的名词是presumption.
*performer:entertainer,表演者,
*order:命令,这里是订货的意思.
*novel:fiction,小说,下面几个单词也一起记住:novelette:中篇小说,shortstory:短篇小说,novelist:小说家.

*ahandfulof:一批,一把.如:whenhearrivedhome,hiswifegavehimahandfulofletters.
*enduringlegacy:不朽的遗产.
*original:原始的,原创的,我们学习英语,要多看originalmovie,跟着我念:iwannawatchoriginalmovierightnow!
*bedrawn:取材于.drawn的原型是draw,每天像唱歌一样唱动词不规则,跟着我唱:draw,drew,drawn.马上学会被动式:be+动词的过去分词.如:
1.myenglishistaughtbyandy.
2.mypcisfixed.
3.thoseemailsweresent.
*distinguishfrom:与...区别
*rival:竞争对手
*brothersgrimm:格林兄弟.德国童话大王.威尔·格林和杰克·格林一生收集了很多民间故事,这些故事名气最大的应该是“snowwhite"("白雪公主".)

*lift...to:从...提升
*poverty:poor的名词,贫困.
*worldrecognition:世界声望
*socialjourney:社会经历
*reminiscentof:让人想起,如:althoughthemovietakesplaceatpresent,it"sreminiscentofthestudiodetectivemoviesofthe1940"s.
*swan:天鹅.
-波波,你总有一天也会成为天鹅的。
-安迪,我正在曲项学英语。
