Lesson 21 Mad or not? 是不是疯了 Why do people think the writer is mad? Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.参照译文飞机正在逐渐把我逼疯。我住在一种机场附近，过往飞机日夜不绝于耳。机场是许近年前建的，但由于某种因素当时未能启用。然而去年机场开始使用了。有100多人肯定是被噪音逼得已经弃家远去，我是少数留下来的人中的一种。有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的飞机撞倒。她们曾向我提供一大笔钱让我搬走，但我决定留在这儿。人们都说我肯定是疯了，也许她们说的是对的。【New words and expressions】（4）1 mad md a.发疯2 reason ri:zn n.因素3 sumsm n.量4 determined dit:mind a.坚定的，下决心的一单词解说：mad adj. 发疯的be mad 发疯，发狂 （强调状态）go mad 发疯，发狂 （强调转变）drive sb mad 逼疯/send sb madbe mad about sth 对疯狂的，狂热的/be mad on sthbe mad on football 对足球狂热be mad on pop musicbe mad on jazzbe mad about/on sth/be crazy about 对着迷go mad 发疯，发狂/go crazy/go insane insein(歌曲 “Right Here Waiting”中，”I slowly go insane”)the insane 精神病人go bananas (sl.) become mad or angry, act very foolishly. 发疯，发火，傻里傻气go nuts 发疯nut: (sl.) foolish, eccentric or mad personmental patient 精神病患者mental hospital 精神病医院like mad 拼命地，剧烈地，疯狂地reason1) n. 因素reasonable adj. 合情合理的，良好的，尚可的at a reasonable price 以合理的价格eg.
