Sample Analysis

The teacher summarizes briefly the format and language used in signs. The

teacher may show the following passage with PPT. Afterwards, ask the students to

read it and translate it into Chinese orally.

Signs are often used in public places to show the requirements for people, to give

information or to attract people’s attention. Signs can be used for different purposes,

for examples, traffic signs give you important information about traffic rules, warn

you about dangerous road conditions and help you find your way.

different symbols in various colors and shapes for easy identification. Some signs are

written or printed in capital letters.

Unit 3 Road signs and commuting

Section Ⅳ(1):Passage 1

Funny Road Signs from Around the World!

1. Background information

Information Related to the Reading Passage

America is a nation on wheels. Americans use their cars even for very short

distances such as going to the neighborhood store to buy some groceries. The average

household owns two cars, trucks or sport vehicles and one in four owns three or more.

Ninety percent of Americans drive to get where they need to go, reporting an

average of 87 minutes a day behind the wheel. For car commuters, it's an average of

100 minutes. Cities like Atlanta, San Bernardino and Riverside, Calif., have difficult

commutes as the result of city sprawl. In Atlanta, 12.7% of commuters spend more

than an hour getting to work, and in the “Inland Empire”, which includes San

Bernardino and Riverside, 15% of commuters take more than an hour to get to the

office.

About a third can be classified as aggressive drivers. Six in ten concede they

sometimes go well over the speed limit. Sixty-two percent occasionally get frustrated

behind the wheel, more than four in ten get angry and two in ten sometimes boil into

road rage. And nothing fuels driver anger like getting stuck in a traffic jam.

Anyway, the road still offers more freedom than frustration. Three quarters of

Americans say driving often gives them a sense of independence, and nearly half say

it's often relaxing. Four in ten love their cars — not just like them, but love them.

Language Points:

1) Explanation of Difficult words.

1. straightforward

a. simple to understand; honest and open 直白易懂的；坦率的

e.g.

People who are too straightforward in speaking may easily offend others.

He was enthusiastic, intelligent and straightforward.

2. occasionally

ad. now and then 有时，偶尔

e.g.

Occasionally the machine goes wrong without any apparent cause.

Everyone wanted a place where they could be left alone occasionally.

3. official

a. connected with those in power 官方的；当局的；正式的

e.g.

The news is almost certainly true although it is not official.

The President of the United States will make an official visit to this country.

4. evidence

n. one or more reasons for believing something is true or untrue证据；证词

e.g.

There is evidence that college exam cheating is on the rise.

A video tape was presented as evidence in court.

5. caption图片说明；标题；字幕

n. a brief description accompanying a picture or title of an article

e.g.

The caption of a newspaper article is usually set in large type.

He is interested in the captions under the pictures.

6. beware

v. be careful about something 注意，当心，谨防

e.g. Beware! If you have too much sweet food, you'll get fat.

Beware of trains!

Unit 3 Road signs and commuting

Section Ⅳ(2):Passage 1

Funny Road Signs from Around the World!

Language Points:

Explanation of Difficult sentences.

1. (Para. 2) Taking pictures of funny road signs while traveling is a favorite pastime

for many travelers.

Analysis: The gerund phrase beginning with taking is the subject of the sentence, in

which while travelling (= while they are travelling) serves as the time adverbial

of the verb taking.

Translation:旅行过程中拍一些滑稽有趣的路牌对很多旅行者来说都是一大消遣

乐事。

Example: Looking elsewhere while talking to customers is not considered good

manners.

2. (Para. 2) All are perfect for adding to your travel photo album and sharing with

friends.

Analysis: For is a preposition, which takes two gerund phrases (adding, sharing) as

its object.

Translation:这些都完全适合添加进你的旅行相册中与朋友分享。

Example: The song is perfect for singing in the New Year celebration.

3. (Para. 4) After all, the authorities put up a warning sign, picturing a car flying

headfirst into the sea.

Analysis: The noun sign has a present particle phrase as its

post-modifier(picturing=which pictured) and the noun car also has a present

particle phrase as its post-modifier (flying=that was flying).

Translation: 毕竟，有关部门竖立了一块警示牌，上面画的是一辆轿车头朝下

飞入大海。

Example: The artist showed us his new oil painting, depicting a pretty girl dancing

in the garden.

4. (Para. 4) And that sign, pictured against an actual cliff in the background, makes

a great travel photo.

Analysis: The noun sign has a past particle phrase as its post-modifier (pictured =

that is pictured). The verb make here acts as a linking verb, which means have

the qualities for a purpose.

Translation: 衬托着背景中的真实山崖拍摄的这块路牌，构成了一幅绝佳的旅

行照片。

Example: The church, situated in the beautiful mountainous area, makes an ideal

place for a wedding reception.

Exercises in passage 1

1). Read and Think: answer the following questions according to the passage

2) Read and Complete

a. complete each of the following statements with words or phrases from the passage

Unit 3 Road signs and commuting

Section Ⅳ:Passage 2

How Do you Commute to Work?

Information Related to the Reading Passage

As cities grow, more and more Americans are leaving for work between

and 6: and are commuting for longer periods of time. Here are what some of

the worst cities for commuters are like.

In Atlanta, the fastest-growing city in America, more people flood the roadways

than the infrastructure can handle. Commuters spend 60 hours a year stuck in traffic,

second only to those in Los Angeles. If that is not bad enough, Atlanta is so spread out

that only 29% of drivers get to and from work in less than 20 minutes, and 13% spend

more than an hour getting to work. The local train system doesn't cover the entire city,

and thus fails to relieve the pressure.

Because most of the workers in Washington D.C. are commuting from the

Virginia or Maryland suburbs, it can take an exceedingly long time to make it

downtown. Here, 15% of commuters take over an hour to get to work, the second

highest rate in the country. Drivers spend 60 hours a year stuck in traffic, and only

26% of commuters get to work in under 20 minutes.

In Houston, Texas, 13% of people carpool, the highest such percentage in cities

with over 2 million workers, and third among cities with more than 1 million workers.

Still, unlike Dallas and Austin, Houston has largely resisted mass transit system

development in favor of expanding roadways, highways and interstates to

accommodate more cars.

Language Points

Explanation of Difficult sentences.

1. (Para. 1) Who more?

Analysis: This is an elliptical sentence. The complete sentence could be:

Who did more travelling than I did?

Translation:

有谁比我换乘还多呢？

Example: He was playing net games online for 20 hours. Who more?

2. (Para. 2) …why do so many people spend lots of time and money getting to

work instead of moving near to it?

Analysis: Spend time or money V-ing is a common English expression. Instead of

doing is a phrase meaning not doing. Another phrase which has the similar

meaning is rather than.

Translation:

为什么那么多的人宁愿上班花那么多的时间和金钱，而不搬到工作单位附

近居住呢？

Example: Martin spent lots of time complaining about his boss instead of doing

anything.

3. (Para. 2) It would be so nerve- and traffic-saving if everyone lived near their

work.

Analysis: Notice this is a typical sentence pattern in subjunctive mood. Nerve- and

Traffic-saving are short for nerve-saving and traffic-saving. Other similar words are

time-saving, labor-saving, etc.

Translation:

如果大家都住在工作地点附近，能少伤多少脑筋，少乘多少车啊。

Example: It would be time- and labor-saving if we adopted the latest technology.

4. (Para. 5) If I had lived next to where I worked, I would have had to move seven

times in the last 30 years.

Analysis: Note that the subjunctive mood is used to express an unreal condition.

Pay attention to the tenses that are used in the conditional clause and the main

clause.

Translation:

如果我是住在工作单位附近，在过去的三十年里我就得搬七次家了。

Example: If we had talked about it, we would have solved the problem between us
