【课文】 After her husband had gone to work. Mrs. Richards sent her children to school and went upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any housework that morning, for in the evening she would be going to a fancy-dress part with her husband. She intended to dress up as a ghost and as she had made her costume the night before, she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was very effective. After putting it on, Mrs. Richards went downstairs. She wanted to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear. Just as Mrs. Richards was entering the dinning room, there was a knock on the front door. She knew that it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. Not wanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs. Richards quickly hid in the small storeroom under the stairs. She heard the front door open and heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddenly the door of the storeroom was opened and a man entered. Mrs. Richards realized that it must be the man from the Electricity Board who had come to read the metre. She tried to explain the situation, saying 'It's only me', but it was too late. The man let out cry and jumped back several paces. When Mrs. Richards walked towards him, he fled, slamming the door behind him. 【课文翻译】 理查兹夫人等丈夫上班走后,把孩子送去上学,然后来到楼上自己的卧室。那天上午,她兴奋得什么家务活都不想做,因为晚上她要同丈夫一起参加一个化装舞会。她打算装扮成鬼的模样。头天晚上她已把化装服做好,这时她急于想试试。尽管化装服仅由一个被单制成,却十分逼真。理查兹夫人穿上化装服后下了楼,想看穿起来是否舒服。 理查兹夫人刚刚走进餐厅,前门就传来敲门声。她知道来了一定面包师。她曾告诉过面包师,如果她不去开门,他可直接进门,把面包放在厨房的桌上。理查兹夫人不想吓唬这个可怜人,便赶紧躲到了楼梯下的小储藏室里。她听见前门被打开,走廊里响起重重的脚步声。突然贮藏门开了,一个男人走了进来。理查兹夫人这才想到一定是供电局来人查电表了。她说了声“是我,别怕!”然后想进行一番解释,但已来不及了。那人大叫了一声,惊退了几步。理查兹夫人朝他走去,只见他 “砰”的一声关上门逃走了。 【生词和短语】 costume n. 化装服 consist v. 由……组成 sheet n. 被单 comfortable adj. 舒适的 storeroom n. 储藏室 electricity n. 电 metre n. 电表 pace n. 一步 flee v. 逃走 slam v. 砰地关上 【知识点分析】 词汇 【consist】 英英:be composed of 例句: 1.What will life consist of on other planets? 在其他的星球上,生命将由何组成? 2.Computer systems consist of hardware and software. 计算机系统由硬件和软件组成。 3.All bodies consist of molecules and these of atoms. 所有物质都是由分子和原子组成的。 短语: consist of 由…构成 consist in 在于;存在于 consist with 符合;与…一致 近义:make up, be composed of 【comfortable】 还原:comfort→comfortable 例句: 1.You are certain to feel comfortable talking to a Libra. 和天秤座的人谈话,肯定会让你觉得很舒服。 2.In a corner, a man in shabby clothes dozed in a comfortable chair. 在一个角落里,一个衣着褴褛的男人正坐在舒适的椅子上打盹。 近义词:pleasant, easy, cozy 【flee】 英英:run away quickly 例句: 1.Can a flying-fish flee far from a free fish fry? 飞鱼能从一次免费的油炸鱼聚餐会会逃跑吗? 2.The man flee to the mountain to avoid the conscription. 为了逃避徵兵,那个人躲到山里去了。 3.A mob torched a church, and many Christians had to flee. 暴徒用火点燃了一间教堂,基督徒们被迫逃出。 近义:escape, desert 【slam】 英英:close violently 例句: 1.I heard the door slam behind him. 我听见他随手砰地把门关上了。 2.The master switch is thrown and all the doors slam shut -- KA-THUMP! 主开关被关上,所有的门都被’咔—砰’地锁住。 搭配 【dress up as...】 【be impatient to...】 【read the metre】 【let out cry】 【slam the door】
