(Pair work)How to extract oil from the pulp? (Pair work)III. Detailed study of the text1. The Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back . . . of years:1) A bazaar is an oriental markct-place where a variety of goods is sold. The word perhaps comes from the Persian word bazar .2) The bazaar takes you back hundreds --even thousands --of years because it was possibly built centuries ago, the architecture was ancient, the bricks and stones were aged and the economy was a handicraft economy which no longer existed in the West.2. The one I am thinking of particularly is entered ... ;1) is entered ... : The present tense used here is called "historical present". It is used for vividness.2) Gothic : of a style of building in Western Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries, with pointed arches, arched roofs, tall thin pillars, and stained glass windows3) aged: having existed long; very old3. Yon pass from the heat and glare of a big open square into a cool, dark cavern ... : 1)Here "the heat" is contrasted with "cool", "glare" with "dark", and "open square" with "cavern".2) glare : strong, fierce, unpleasant light, not so agreeable as "bright sunlight"3) }'Cavern" here does not really mean a cave or an underground chamber. From the text we can see it is a long, narrow, dark street of workshops and shops with some sort of a roof over them.4) In front of the gateway there is a big, open square. It is hot there and the brightness of the sunlight is most disagreeable. But when you enter the gateway, you come to a long, narrow, dark street with some sort Of a roof over it and it is cool inside.4. which extends as far as the eye can see: The words eye and ear are used in the singular not to mean the concrete organ of sight or hearing but something abstract; they are often used figuratively. Here the eye means man's power of seeing or eyesight, e, g.1) She has an eye for beauty. (She is capable of recognizing and appreciating beautiful things. )2) She has an ear for music. (She is sensitive to music. )3) The boy has a sharp eye. (He overlooks nothing. )4) The big poster caught my eye. (my attention)5) Keep an eye on that mischievous boy. (Keep a watch on him. )6) to turn a blind eye to sth or sb7) to turn a deaf ear to sth or sb8) His words are unpleasant to the ear.9) The view was pleasing to the eye.5. losing itself in the shadowy distance:1) The place is dark, so when the street is long, objects in the distance become unclear and indistinct.2) Shadowy suggests shifting illumination and indistinct vision.6. Little donkeys ... entering and leaving the bazaar:1) thread their way: The donkeys went in and out among the people and from one side to another.2) The words "entering" and "leaving" go with the word "throngs" which differs from "crowds" in that it carries a stronger implication of movement and of pushing and a weaker implication of density.7. The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by little stalls where goods of every conceivable kind are sold :l) roadway: (the roadway) the middle part of a road where vehicles drive e.g.Don't stop on the roadway2) stall: small, open-fronted shop a market, on a street,3) The small shops lining the street try to expand their shop space by encroaching on the street, so the street becomes narrow every few yards.4) goods of every conceivable kind : goods of every kind you can think of8. then as you penetrate ... muted cloth-market:1) penetrate : to pierce or pass into or through. The word penetrate is used here to indicate that you have to pass through a big crowd in order to go deeper into the market.2) the noise of the entrance fades away:fade away : go slowly out of hearing, gradually disappear3) the muted cloth-market: It is muted because the earthen floor deadens the sound of footsteps and people in the market speak in low, soft tones.9. The earthen floor . .. any sounds to echo:1) earthen: made of earth, e.g. an earthen jar2) beaten hard by countless feet: flattened by treading; which becomes flat and hard because it is much travelled3) deaden: to lessen or dull the sound of (footsteps)4) the vaulted mud brick wails and roof: Moslem style of architecture10. The shopkeepers speak in slow ... follow suit:1) measured: steady, slow and deliberate; rhythmical2) sepulchral: suggestive of the grave of burial; dismal, gloomy3) follow suit: to do the same as someone else has done11. One of the peculiarities ... persecution:1) peculiarities: characteristics2) Shopkeepers dealing in the same kind of goods usually scatter themselves over the bazaar so as to avoid competition. (It would then be more difficult for customers to compare goods and prices.) But in the Middle Eastern Bazaar they come together in the same area in order to form a closely-knit guild against injustice or persecution (coming from, perhaps, the tax collectors and government officials).3) collect: come together; gather; e.g. water (dust) collects4) knit: unite firmly and closely5) guild: society of persons for helping one another, forwarding common interests 12. each open fronted shop . . . for storage:1) open-fronted shop: the goods are displayed at the front of the shop, without any window- or doorway blocking the view2) a trestle table for display: One displays anything that one spreads out for others to view or puts in a position where it can be seen to advantage or with great clearness so as to strike the eye. e.g. The exhibition of pictures was criticized because the best paintings were not Well displayed. (They were perhaps put in a dark corner or some other place with insufficient light where people could not see them properly.) The peacock displayed its fine feathers, cf. exhibit:One exhibits anything which he puts forward prominently or openly, either with the express intention or with the result of attracting other's attention. When we exhibit flowers, animals, children's drawings, unearthed relics, etc., we want to bring their inherent properties to light. e.g.The host took us through his stable to show us his horses. He exhibited with particular pride two snow white mares. He himself led them out of the stable, in order to display to advantage their sleek coats.13. Bargaining is the order of the day: bargaining is the normal way of doing things (the) order of the day: that which is of the greatest general interest at a particular time; prevailing state of things, e.g.They failed to act since confusion was the order of the day at the headquarters.His period was a building age, when competition was the order of the day.14. veiled women ... beating the price down:1) veiled women: according to Modem custom women have to wear veils when they go out.2) to price: (colloquial) to ask the price of, e.g.Before buying the coat, why not price it in a number of shops?3) narrow down their choice: reduce the number of their choice4) beat dozen: bargain with (seller), causing seller to lower (price).15. a point of honour: something considered important for one's self-respect16. One of the most . . . copper-smiths' market:1) picturesque: striking, vivid2) impressive: deeply impressing mind or senses, cause approval or admiration17. As you approach it . .. on your ear:1) tinkling: a succession of light, ringing sounds (e. g. of a small bell)2) bangfng: hit violently, to make a loud noise (e. g. to bang a door)3) clashing: make a loud, broken, confused noise (as when metal objects strike together)(e. g. swords clash, the clashing of cymbals)4) impinge" (on): have an effect (on)；strike18. It grows louder and more distinct:1) it : the tinkling and banging and clashing2) distinct: not only clear, but easily heard, clearly marked,distinguished apart from other sounds19. until you round a corner . .. lamps and braziers:1) round: make a turn about2) dancing flashes: quick bright lights moving up and down3) catch the light of: intercept and reflect the light of . . .4) The dancing flashes are reflections of the (unsteady) lightsfrom the lamps and braziers thrown on the polished copper.20. hammering away at copper vessels of all shapes and sizes:away: continuously, constantlye.g. working, laughing, muttering away21. the shop-owner ... sometimes takes a hand with a hammer himself ... :take a hand.
