①magnificent:/m?ɡ?n?f?s(?)nt/adj.宏偉的，壯麗的；令人印象深刻的，出色的；高尚的，高貴的②primeval:/pra??mi:v(?)l/adj.原始的；初期的③swallow:/?sw?l??/v.吞下，咽下【譯文】我六歲的時候，在一本名為《真實的故事》的描寫原始森林的書上，看到過一幅非常精彩的插圖，上面畫著一條蟒蛇正在吞吃一頭猛獸的情景。

Inthebookitsaid:"Boaconstrictorsswallowtheirpreywhole,withoutchewingit.Afterthattheyarenotabletomove,andtheysleepthroughthesixmonthsthattheyneedfordigestion."【詞匯】

①prey:/pre?/n.獵物，捕獲物；受害者，受騙者v.捕食；欺凌，坑害

②chew:/t?u?/v.咀嚼，嚼碎；③digestion:/da??d?est??n/n.消化；消化能力【句型】beableto...有能力做某事

【譯文】

我記得書上寫著：“蟒蛇嚼都不嚼就把獵物整個吞下，然后它就無法動彈，躺上大半年來消化它們?！?/p>

Ipondereddeeply,then,overtheadventuresofthejungle.AndaftersomeworkwithacoloredpencilIsucceededinmakingmyfirstdrawing.MyDrawingNumberOne.Itlookedlikethis:【詞匯】①ponder/?p?nd?(r)/v.仔細考慮，琢磨，沉思②adventure/?d?vent??(r)/n.冒險（經(jīng)歷），奇遇；冒險的刺激，冒險欲③jungle/?d???ɡ(?)l/n.（熱帶）叢林；弱肉強食的地方；【句型】succeedindoingsth.:成功做成某事【譯文】那時，對于叢林里的奇妙景象，我幻想了好多畫面。于是我用彩色鉛筆畫了我人生的第一幅畫，即作品一號，就是下面這幅畫。Ishowedmymasterpiecetothegrown-ups,andaskedthemwhetherthedrawingfrightenedthem.

【詞匯】①masterpiece/?mɑ?st?pi?s/n.代表作，杰作；極好的例證；②grow-ups成年人③frighten/?fra?t(?)n/v.使驚嚇，使驚恐【譯文】我拿著這幅畫給我的家人看，問他們我的畫嚇不嚇人。

Buttheyanswered:"Frighten?Whyshouldanyonebefrightenedbyahat?"【句型】befrightenedby:被……嚇到【譯文】他們回答：“一頂帽子怎么可能嚇人呢？”

Mydrawingwasnotapictureofahat.Itwasapictureofaboaconstrictordigestinganelephant.Butsincethegrown-upswerenotabletounderstandit,Imadeanotherdrawing:Idrewtheinsideoftheboaconstrictor,sothatthegrown-upscouldseeitclearly.Theyalwaysneedtohavethingsexplained.MyDrawingNumberTwolookedlikethis:

【詞匯】①clearly/?kl??li/adv.清楚地，清晰地；毫無疑問【難點分析】①digesting在句中充當非謂語，和邏輯主語aboaconstrictor表主動關系②since在句中表示“由于，因為”，引導原因狀語從句【譯文】可我畫的不是一頂帽子，是一條正在消化大象的蟒蛇。為了讓這些大人看得明白，我只好把蟒蛇肚子的內部畫了出來。他們總是要人給他們解釋。這是我的作品二號：

Thegrown-ups’response,thistime,wastoadvisemetolayasidemydrawingsofboaconstrictors,whetherfromtheinsideortheoutside,anddevotemyselfinsteadtogeography,history,arithmeticandgrammar.Thatiswhy,attheageofsix,Igaveupwhatmighthavebeenamagnificentcareerasapainter.IhadbeendisheartenedbythefailureofmyDrawingNumberOneandmyDrawingNumberTwo.Grown-upsneverunderstandanythingbythemselves,anditistiresomeforchildrentobealwaysandforeverexplainingthingstothem.

【詞匯】①arithmetic/??r?θm?t?k/n.算術；演算，計算；數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計②dishearten/d?s?hɑ?tn/vt.使灰心，使沮喪，使氣餒③tiresome/?ta??s?m/adj.煩人的，令人厭煩的④layaside擱置；儲蓄；留存【句型】①whether...or...是……還是……②devote...to...將……奉獻給；把……專用于③explainsth.tosb.向某人解釋......【難點分析】“Ihadbeendisheartenedby...”，此句用到過去完成時的被動語態(tài)結構“hadbeendone...”【譯文】我的家人看完之后，勸我放棄畫蟒蛇，不管是剖開的，還是沒剖開的，全都丟開。他們讓我把心思放在語法、數(shù)學、地理和歷史上。于是，在我六歲的時候，我就放棄了我的繪畫生涯。作品一號和作品二號都沒成功，這讓我泄了氣。那些大人什么都不懂，總是要孩子們一遍一遍地給他們解釋，太煩人了。

SothenIchoseanotherprofession,andlearnedtopilotairplanes.Ihaveflownalittleoverallpartsoftheworld?anditistruethatgeographyhasbeenveryusefultome.AtaglanceIcandistinguishChinafromArizona.Ifonegetslostinthenight,suchknowledgeisvaluable.

InthecourseofthislifeIhavehadagreatmanyencounterswithagreatmanypeoplewhohavebeenconcernedwithmattersofconsequence.Ihavelivedagreatdealamonggrown-ups.Ihaveseenthemintimately,closeathand.Andthathasn’tmuchimprovedmyopinionofthem.【詞匯】①encounter/?n?ka?nt?(r)/v.遭遇；偶遇，邂逅②consequence/?k?ns?kw?ns/n.結果，后果；重要性，價值③intimately/??nt?m?tli/adv.熟悉地；親切地；私下地【句型】①inthecourseof在……過程中；在……期間②haveencounterswith遇到③beconcernedwith參與，干預；關心；相干；涉及④closeathandadv.就在眼前；在附近【難點分析】“InthecourseofthislifeIhavehadagreatmanyencounterswithagreatmanypeoplewhohavebeenconcernedwithmattersofconsequence.”句中的“inthecourseofthislife”,充當時間狀語。句中的who，引導定語從句，用來修飾前面的名詞people.【譯文】我在那些大人中間生活過很長時間，跟很多嚴肅的人打過交道。我經(jīng)常仔細地觀察他們，然而，我對他們的印象沒有好多少。

WheneverImetoneofthemwhoseemedtomeatallclear-sighted,ItriedtheexperimentofshowinghimmyDrawingNumberOne,whichIhavealwayskept.Iwouldtrytofindout,so,ifthiswasapersonoftrueunderstanding.But,whoeveritwas,he,orshe,wouldalwayssay:"Thatisahat."【詞匯】①clear-sighted:adj.聰明的；視力好的；目明的【難點分析】句首的whenever引導時間狀語從句，表示無論什么時候。who引導定語從句，修飾前面的代詞them.which引導定語從句，修飾前面的DrawingNumberOne.【譯文】倘若碰上一個人，他看上去比別人稍微清醒一些，我就拿出一直保存著的作品一號給他看。我很想知道，他是否能夠看懂。可惜我總得到這樣的回答：“這是一頂帽子?！盩henIwouldnevertalktothatpersonaboutboaconstrictors,orprimevalforests,orstars.Iwouldbringmyselfdowntohislevel.Iwouldtalktohimaboutbridge,andgolf,andpolitics,andneckties.Andthegrown-upwouldbegreatlyple
