Lesson 49 The end of a dream美夢告終 How did the dream end? Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.參考譯文德黑蘭的一個人年輕人由于對睡地板感到厭倦，于是積蓄多年買了一張真正的床。他平生第一次自豪地擁有了一張既有彈簧又帶床墊的床。由于天氣很熱，他便把床搬到了他的屋頂上。頭兩天晚上，他睡得非常好。但第三天晚上起了風暴。一陣大風把床從屋頂上刮了下來，把它摔碎在下面的院子里。那年輕人直到床撞到地上才醒了過來。盡管床摔成了碎片，但年輕人卻奇跡地沒有受傷。他醒來時，仍然躺在床墊上。年輕人看了一眼周圍的碎木片和碎金屬片，傷心地撿起了床墊，把它拿進了屋。他把床墊往地板上一放，很快又睡著了。一、 單詞講解New words and expressionstired adj. 厭煩的real adj. 真正的owner n. 主人spring n. 彈簧mattress n. 床墊gust n. 一陣風sweep v. 掃，刮courtyard n. 院子smash v. 碰碎，摔碎miraculously adv. 奇跡般地unhurt adj. 沒有受傷的glance v. 掃視promptly adv. 迅速地tired adj.厭煩的/ tire v.使疲勞,疲倦 sth tires sb.某事令某人累Eg: The long class tires me.這么長的課使我很累。/ Working all day tires him.工作一整天使他很累。Talking to you tired me.跟你說話可真累啊。tire of sth 對某事感到疲倦 tire of doing sth tired adj. 厭煩的/疲倦的eg: Im extremely tired.我極度的疲倦/Im dead tired我累死了/Im tired to death.be tired of sb 對感到厭倦 be tired of sth/be tried of doing stheg: The young man was tired of sleeping on the floor.這個年輕人厭倦的睡在地板上了。/ Im tired of staying at home and doing nothing.我厭倦呆在家里面無所事事。be tired from+n./doing因而感到累的Eg: Im very tired from running as fast as I can.盡力快跑令我很累。be tired out 筋疲力盡 be exhausted eg: After the long walk, I was tried out.走了那么久的路之后我筋疲力盡了。tiring adj. 令人疲倦的/tired 感到疲倦的/tireless 不易疲倦的,精力充沛的eg: Thanks to your tireless efforts多虧你的不懈努力tiresome adj. 令人厭煩的,討厭的,煩人的. troublesome, annoying eg: Selling your house can be a tiresome business.賣房子是一件很令人麻煩的事。/She is such a tiresome girl.她是一個如此討厭的女孩。real1)adj真正的，衷心的，誠實的eg.
