Lesson 32 Shopping made easy购物变得很以便 Who was the thief? People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before - especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl gave her mother a free dress once a week!参照译文人们不再像此前那样诚实了。盗窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候都更强烈 - 特别是在大的商店里。一名侦探近来注意上了一位穿着讲究的妇女,她总是在星期一上午进入一家大商场。有一种星期一,当这位妇女走进这家商场时,里面的人比往常少,因此,侦探比较容易监视她。这位妇女先是买了几样小商品。过了一会儿,她又选了商场里最昂贵的一件衣服,把它递给了售货员。那售货员以最快的速度为她包好了衣服。然后,那妇女拿过包就走出了商场,主线没有付钱。她被逮捕后。侦探发现本来那售货员是她的女儿。那姑娘每星期“送”她妈妈一件免费的衣服!【New words and expressions】(6)1 once wns ad.曾经,此前2 temptationtemptein n.诱惑3 article :tikl n.物品,东西4 wraprp v.包裹5 simply simpli ad.仅仅6 arrestrest v.逮捕一单词解说once adv.1)一次 (for one time)例:Ive been to Paris once 我去过巴黎一次。once- twice-three times-例: The girl gave her mother a free dress once a week.(一周一次)2)adv一度,曾经, 此前例: People are not so honest as they once were.人们不像此前那样诚实了。工once lived in Africa 我曾经住在非洲。The book was once famous 这本书曾经很出名。at once; immediately: right away立即,立即例:After work,come back at once!下班之后立即回家!once again/ once more例:Read the new words once again 再重新读一遍。once upon a time好久此前/ long, long ago例: Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess.好久此前有一位美丽的公主。temptation n诱惑tempt v怂恿,劝告或鼓励某人做某事(特别错事,傻事)tempt sb to do sthtempt sb into sthtempt sb into doing sth例:He was tempted into stealing她被怂恿去偷的东西。The warm weather tempted us into going for a swim.这种炎热天气让我非常想游泳。She was tempted to bear a false witness 她被怂恿做伪证。the temptation of beauty 美的诱惑give in to temptation 经不住诱惑例: I cant resist the temptation of sweets.我非常喜欢吃糖,我禁不住糖的诱惑。In large shops, the temptation to steal is larger than before.在大商店里偷东西的诱惑比此前更强烈了。temping adj诱惑人的,令人心动的,迷人的。article n1)物品,东西,商品small articles,小商品articles of clothing(shirts , socks , hats, coats-)toilet articles盥洗用品2)(报刊上的)文章例: Have you read the article on/about the train accident in today s paper?报纸上有无读那篇有关火车事故的文章呢。3)冠词a,an,thewrap vt包,裹wrap sth up把东两抱起来例: I wrapped the parcels up and posted them.我把包裹包了起来,然后寄了出去。Christmas presents were wrapped up in tissue paper.圣诞礼物被用玻璃纸包了起来。The assistant wrapped the dress up as quickly as possible.那个售货员尽量快的把衣服包了起来。wrap it up住嘴,安静=shut up;be quietput a sock in itbe wrapped up in 完全被包在里;全神贯注于例:He was wrapped up in watching TV她全神贯注地看电视。simply adv.simple adj 简朴的,朴索的(easy,plain in form,design)a simple task 简朴的任务a simple problem 一种简朴的问题simple food简朴的食物a simple life 简朴的生活a simple sentence 简朴句1)简朴地(in a easy way)例: Explain it as simply as possible.尽量简朴地讲这个问题。2) merely,only仅仅例: i wont marry you simply because you talk too much.我不会嫁给你,仅仅由于你太能说话了。The woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying.那位妇女拿过包就走出商场,主线就没有付钱。arrest vt依法逮捕,拘留,扣留arrest sb逮捕某人sb be arrestedcatch sb doing抓住正做某事seize sb 热切拼命的抓住hold sb 抓住(强调成果)capture 捕获arresting 引人注目的,醒目的二、核心句型Key Structures1形容词和副词的同级比较:表达 “和同样地”as+ adj/adv+ as表达“不如,不及”not as/so+ adj./ adv.十 as其中adj或adv必须用原形例: He is not as energetic as a young man.她不是一种布满活力的年轻人。Let s walk.
