The Composition Class The students in the composition class were assigned the task of writing an essay on “The Most Beautiful Thing I Ever Saw”. The student who, of all the members of the class, seemed the least sensitive to beauty, handed in his paper first with astonishing speed. It was short and to the point. He had written: “The most beautiful thing I ever saw was too beautiful for words.” 作文课 上作文课,学生们被要求写一篇作文:《我所见过的最美丽的东西》。班上那个看起来对美最不敏感的学生,以惊人的速度交了卷。他写的作文简明扼要:“我所见过最美的东西,美得无法用言语形容。” (二) An Abstract Noun Teacher: What’s an abstract noun, Jane? Jane:I don’t know, madam. Teacher: What, you don’t know? Well. It’s the name of a thing which you can think of but cannot touch. Now, give me an example. Jane:A red-hot poker, madam. 抽象名词 老师:珍妮,什么叫抽象名词? 珍妮:我不知道,老师。 老师:什么,你不知道?抽象名词就是可以想象,但是无法摸到的东西的名称。好,给我举一个例子。 珍妮:一支烧得通红的火钳。老师。 (三) Overcrowded Moon A geography teacher once told her class, “The moon is so large that several million people could live there.” One boy started laughing, “It sure must get crowded when it’s a crescent moon.” 拥挤的月亮 一位地理老师告诉她的学生:“月亮非常大,它可以容纳几百万人在上面居住。” 有一个男孩笑了:“当月亮由满月变成弦月时,住在上面的人该有多么拥挤啊!” (四) The First Flight An old lady was taking her very first flight in an airliner.
