大学英语第二册Unit4课文重点知识点讲解
Word
The Professor and the Yo-Yo Thomas Lee Bucky with Joseph P.Blank My father was a close friend of Albert Einstein. As a shy young visitor to Einstein’s home, I was made to feel at ease when Einstein said, “I have something to show you.” He went to his desk and returned with a YoYo. He tried to show me how it worked but he couldn’t make it roll back up the string. When my turn came, I displayed my few tricks and pointed out to him that the incorrectly looped string had thrown the toy off balance. Einstein nodded, properly impressed by my skill and knowledge. Later, I bought a new Yo-Yo and mailed it to the Professor as a Christmas present, and received a poem of thanks.

Suddenly, at 12:30 in the afternoon, an assassin fired several shots, striking the president twice in the base of the neck and the head. Kennedy was rushed to Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about a half hour later. Within two hours, Vice president Johnson took the oath as president.Contributions1.

It is not simply a victory of the Democratic Party over the Republican Party. It celebrates the freedom of people to elect freely their own head of state. It symbolizes the end of one presidential term (that of Eisenhower) and the beginning of a new term (that of Kennedy). The presidency or the office of president is renewed.1.freedom: We celebrate freedom. People in the USare free to choose their president.2.end: the end of Eisenhower’s presidential term3.beginning: the beginning of Kennedy’spresidential term4.renewal: the continuation of presidency andoffice of president5.change: the change from Eisenhower to Kennedy6.solemn oath: refer to an extremely formal andinspiring religious ritual. very serious.7. a century and three-quarters ago: The firstpresidential oath taken by Washington onApril 30, 1789Para.2: the general situation of this world Question: In what way is the world different? The world is different in the way of science and technology. People have modern and advanced science and technology.power: the power of science and technology Science can be used to get rid of poverty. Science can be used to destroy all human beingsEg. Slavery was abolished in the US in the 19th century.Man has made great progress in science and technology so he has the power (scientific farming, speedy transportation, mass production, etc.) to abolish poverty, but he also has the power (missiles, bombs, nuclear weapons, etc.) to destroy human life. Hence the world is different now.revolutionary belief: it refers to a passage in the American Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of HappinessAnd yet the same... around the globe: Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.Para.3: general policy of the USPeople in the US must keep and defend human rights not only in the US but also in the world as well. We dare not... first revolution: We dare not forget that we are the descendants of those who fought the war of independence. Hence we must always bear in mind the beliefs and ideals our ancestors fought and died for. We must be prepared, if necessary, to fight and die for them today.torch: metaphor. Its original reference is to the Olympic Games before which a torch is carried from runner to runner. Here it refers to “inspirations and ideals”.temper: v. to cause to become firm 使变坚韧tempered by war: The Americans of the 20th century fought two world wars, so they are well tempered disciplined:received training that developed selfcontrol and characterhard and bitter peace: peace but cold war, hence “hard and bitter’’to witness or permit the slow undoing: to see or allow the gradual abolishing ofPara.4: strong determination. Kennedy puts the US in the position of the world leader, and he says in order to keep human rights, “we shall pay any price, bear any burden, ...”.The address is to both friends and foes. It promises to support any friend and to oppose any foe.The phrases “pay any price, bear any burden and meet any hardship”are intended to shore up the waning confidence of her allies as much as to warn any prospective foe.Para.5: transition A one sentence paragraph that functions as a transition from the general to the specific. In the following paragraphs he will be addressing different specific groups of nations.Para.6: the specific policy toward his friendsand would-be friendsTo those old allies…split asunder:In thisparagraph Kennedy addresses the white European countries in general but his words are specifically directed to the English-speaking Anglo-Saxon countries, such as Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with whom the United States shares a common cultural and spiritual heritage.ally:n. a country that has a treaty or an agreement to help and support another country, allied: ad. the Allied and Associated Powers (World War I)cultural and spiritual origins: Greek, Roman and Nordic mythology, literature, art, music etc. Later these nations were linked closer by the spiritual tie of Christianity.United, there is little we cannot do in a host of co-operative ventures: United and working togetherwe can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.United we can do everything. Divided we can do nothingpowerful challenge:a strong, powerful threat posed by the socialist camp.If we are quarreling and split apart, we can notcompete with the strong, powerful enemy in front of usThose two have been at odds with one another for ages. 那两个人合不来已经很久了。
