今日阅读:②When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refuse to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace'. The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
③The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press.
节选《新概念英语3 The facts》
【生词】
impatient adj. 不耐烦的
昨日内容复习提要:昨天学习了主要学习了 ①and连词的用法,and不仅可以用于比如“和”意思。②at once表示立即,马上的用法。
昨天文章如下:
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press.
记者立即出发去核实这些重要的事实,但过了好长时间不见他把数字寄来,在此期间,编辑等得不耐烦了,因为杂志马上要付印。
(1)take的用法he took a long time to send the.
在这个句子中,take a long time,表示花时间,花很长的时间。
①take表示花时间的主语可以是人或事物
The journey takes about an hour. 这个旅程大概花1小时。
I take one hour to get home. 我花1小时回家。
②it先行词作主语时
It took her three hours to repair her bike. 她花3小时修理她的自行车。
③take time表示花长时间
It’ll take time for her to recover from the illness. 她的病需要很长时间才能痊愈。
④not take long 用不了多久
Everything should be easy to prepare and not take long. 所有的东西应该便于准备,并且不会花费太长的时间。
(2)go to press 开始印刷press常见的意思是“压”,20世纪初以前,印刷机都是要靠滚轮沾墨水,压印上去的。所以press就有了印刷机的意思。
academic press 学术出版社
at press time到发稿时为止
说到这个“压”,press也是一个词根。
compress,com表示一起,一起向中间压,就是“压缩”
depress,de表示向下,向下压,就是“压低”,“跌价”
impress,im表示向内部,向脑子的内部压,就是给人“印象”
这就是词根词缀记单词的妙处。有没有很好记?
