ash －and －grab 砸橱窗抢劫The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o"clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler"s. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves.

篇三：新概念英语第三册课文讲解

ry and her husband Dimitri lived in the tiny village of Perachora in southern Greece. One of Mary"s prize possessions was a little white lamb which her husband had given her. She kept it tied to a tree in a field during the day and went to fetch it every evening. One evening, however, the lamb was missing. The rope had been cut, so it was obvious that the lamb had been stolen.

　 When Dimitri came in from the fields, his wife told him what had happened. Dimitri at once set out to find the thief. He knew it would not prove difficult in such a small village. After telling several of his friends about the theft, Dimitri found out that his neighbour, Aleko, had suddenly acquired a new lamb. Dimitri immediately went to Aleko"s house and angrily accused him of stealing the lamb. He told him he had better return it or he would call the police. Aleko denied taking it and led Dimitri into his backyard. It was true that he had just bought a lamb, he explained, but his lamb was black. Ashamed of having acted so rashly, Dimitri apologized to Aleko for having accused him. While they were talking it began to rain and Dimitri stayed in Aleko"s house until the rain stopped. When he went outside half an hour later, he was astonished to find the little black lamb was almost white. Its wool, which had been dyed black, had been washed clean by the rain!

篇四：新概念英语第三册课文讲解

sson 1 A puma at large Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

　The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw "a large cat" only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of "cat-like noises" at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside. Language points Pay attention: The points below are not covered by the mp3. It is better for you to listen to the mp3 first and try to take notes by yourselves.

　1 ，a puma at large at large

　1：逃遁的，没有被控制的。

　2：详细的(in detail) 3：总体来讲（as a whole）

　2 ，Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. tip: 在英文的表达方式中，首先呈现给读者的是结果。写议论文的时候要注意把握观点。

　体会课文第一二句话，乃至第一段在全文中的作用。

　cat-like 像猫的，偷偷摸摸的 life-like 栩栩如生的 3 ，When report came into London zoo... 当伦敦动物园接到报告...... 同种结构的句型：(An idea) come to sb.某人突然想到了...... 4 ， They were not taken seriously. take sth. seriously: deal with sth. seriously 认真（严肃）对待某事 take sth. lightly 草率对待某事 注意：例句的 they 指的是 reports, 意思是：The experts did not take the reports seriously. 5, The descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

　claim to have done sth 声称曾经做过某事 6 ， Experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.

　confirm: be sure, be certain 7 ，The search proved difficult. 这个语境中：search=hunt

　8 ， Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.

　leave behind: 把某物留在后面 9 ， A businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. on + 名词：强调动作正在进行 on the rise:在上升 on the increase: 在增加 on the watch: 在观看 on the match:在比赛中 on the fishing trip:在钓鱼的途中 on holiday: 在度假 10 ， The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma. fully: completely, entirely

　11 ，This one must have been in the possession of a private collector. in the possession of sb==in sb"s possession 归某人所有 in possession of sth. 拥有某物 take possession of 拥有 tip: 请大家体会下同种意思的不同表达，让我们的语言丰富起来！

　eg: The beautiful car is in my possession / in the possession of me. I am in possession of the beautiful car. The person in possession of the big house is excited.

　12 ， It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside. It is disturbing to think that 一想到.........就心里不安

　key structure & grammar 1. simple sentence, compound sentence and complex sentence(check NCE2 L73) 本文主要有复杂句组成，复杂句是由简单句构成的，分析复杂句的意思：

　1）先看句子由几个部分组成； 2）通过 link word 来判断主从句关系； e.g. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

　分句 1：The evident began to accumulate. as 表示伴随主句同时发生的状态 主句：Experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate. tip: 在阅读中，先看主句有助于全文理解和提高阅读效率。

　分句 2：The descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar. for 表示原因，翻译做：因为 这个分句还可以再细分：

　句子的主干部分是：The descriptions were similar given 引导的部分是过去分词作定语，修饰 description

　而这一成分中，who 引导的定语从句，用来修饰 people 2. 被动语态常用于表达事实的客观性 tip: 英文的表达方式重点在于突出客观事实，故常用被动语态；而中文则善于运用动作的执行者,常用主动式

　被动语态的特殊结构：被动语态＋现在分词 e.g. puma fur was found clinging to bushes 现在分词 clinging 起补充说明主语的作用 3 ， 定语从句和同位语从句

　一般来讲, 定语从句和同位语从句紧随在被修饰名词后面，但为了保持句子平衡，也可把谓语动词放到从句之前。让我们来看两个文中的例子：

　(1)Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.

　(2)Reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London.

　现在让我们来回顾下两种从句的区别：

　(1) 定语从句只是对于被修饰词的补充说明、修饰。

　定语从句的引导词：

　指人：主语 who; 宾语 who/whom; 定语 whose 表达事物：that(也可指人)/ which 时间状语：when; 地点状语：where; 原因状语：

　why (2) 同位语从句则是讲述被修饰名词的内容 同位语从句的引导词：

　名词做主语、宾语时，关系词用 that 而不是 which

　时间 when; 地点 where e.g. I have no idea what has happened to him. 大家学的怎么样？我们来测试一下吧

　Exercises 1.choice questions (1) What particular piece of evidence persuaded the experts that a puma had been seen in the village? a. The puma had not attacked the woman.

　b. The woman had described the animal she had seen as ‘a large cat". c. A puma had come very close to a human being. d. The puma had behaved like a cat. (2) The accumulating evidence made the experts the animal was a puma.

　a. to think

　b. thinking

　c. think

　d. thought (3) , it immediately ran away. a. Observing her

　b. On being observed

　c. Having been observed

　d. On her being observed

　2.translation （4）一想到考试失利，我心里就很不安。

　（5）她突然想到也许她可以用另一种方法来做实验。

　（6）她坚信丈夫会回来。

　（7）我们需要找一个可靠的人。

　（8）伤员所到之处，都留下道道血迹。

　（9）熊猫是一种体形像猫的大动物，产于亚洲。

　（10）However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

　3.Writing （11）Summarize the story within 3 sentences.(You can also use one complex sentence to summarize.)

篇七：新概念英语第三册课文讲解

念英语第三册第一课课文及讲解

　Lesson1 A puma at large

　 Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

　 The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow

　managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

　美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南 45 英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。可是，随着证据越来越多，动物园的专家们感到有必要进行一番调查，因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情况竟是出奇地相似。

　 搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开始的。那里的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时的看见“一只大猫”，离她仅 5 码远，她刚看见它，它就立刻逃走了。专家证实，美洲狮非被逼得走投无路，是决不会伤人的。事实上搜寻工作很困难，因为常常是早晨在甲地发现那只美洲狮，晚上却在 20 英里外的乙地发现它的踪迹。无论它走哪儿，一路上总会留下一串死鹿及死兔子之类的小动物，在许多地方看见爪印，灌木丛中发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。有人抱怨说夜里听见“像猫一样的叫声”；一位商人去钓鱼，看见那只美洲狮在树上。专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮，但它是从哪儿来的呢？由于全国动物园没有一家报告丢了美洲狮，因此那只美洲狮一定是某位私人收藏豢养的，不知怎么设法逃出来了。搜寻工作进行了好几个星期，但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮。想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。

篇八：新概念英语第三册课文讲解

新概念英语第三册（共 60 课）

　Lesson1

　 A puma at large Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

　 The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw "a large cat" only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered （adj. 被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of "cat-like noises" at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

　美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南45 英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。可是，随着证据越来越多，动物园的专家们感到有必要进行一番调查，因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情况竟是出奇地相似。

　搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开始的。那里的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时的看见“一只大猫”，离她仅 5 码远，她刚看见它，它就立刻逃走了。专家证实，美洲狮非被逼得走投无路，是决不会伤人的。事实上搜寻工作很困难，因为常常是早晨在甲地发现那只美洲狮，晚上却在 20 英里外的乙地发现它的踪迹。无论它走哪儿，一路上总会留下一串死鹿及死兔子之类的小动物，在许多地方看见爪印，灌木丛中发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。有人抱怨说夜里听见“像猫一样的叫声”；一位商人去钓鱼，看见那只美洲狮在树上。专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮，但它是从哪儿来的呢？由于全国动物园没有一家报告丢了美洲狮，因此那只美洲狮一定是某位私人收藏豢养的，不知怎么设法逃出来了。搜寻工作进行了好几个星期，但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮。想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。

　Lesson 2

　Thirteen equals one Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.

　One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o"clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.

　"Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?" asked the vicar in surprise.

　 "I"m trying to repair the bell," answered Bill." I"ve been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise."

　"You certainly did give me a surprise!" said the vicar. "You"ve probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I"m glad the bell is working again."

　 "That"s the trouble, vicar," answered Bill. "It"s working all right, but I"m afraid that at one o"clock it will strike thirteen times and there"s nothing I can do about it."

　 "We"ll get used to that Bill," said the vicar. "Thirteen is not as good as one but it"s better than nothing. Now let"s go downstairs and have a cup of tea."

　 我们教区的牧师总是为各种各样的事筹集资金。但始终未能筹足资金把教堂的钟修好。教堂的钟很大，以前不分昼夜打点报时，但很多年前遭到毁坏，从此便无声无息了。

　 一天夜里，我们的牧师突然被惊醒了，大钟又在“打点”报时了！他一看表，才 1 点钟，可是那钟一边敲了 13 下才停。牧师拿着一支电筒走上钟楼想去看看究竟发生了什么事情。借着电筒光。他看见一个人，马上认出那是本地杂货店主经比尔.威尔金斯。

　 “你究竟在这上面干什么，比尔？”牧师惊讶地问。

　 “我想把这口钟修好，”比尔回答说。“好几个星期了，我天天夜里到钟楼上来。嗯，我是想让你大吃一惊。”

　 “你确实使我大吃了一惊！”牧师说，“也许同时你把村里所有的人都吵醒了。不过，钟又能报时了，我还是很高兴的。”

　 “问题就在这里，牧师，”比尔回答说。“不错，钟能报时了，但是，恐怕每到 1 点钟，它总要敲 13 下，对此我已无能为力了。”

　 “大家慢慢就习惯了，比尔，”牧师说。“13 下是不如 1 下好，但总比 1 下也不敲强。来，咱们下楼去喝杯茶吧。”

　Lesson 3

　 An unknown goddess Some time ago ，an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean （adj.； 爱琴海的；n.）

　）island of Kea． ．An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini ．The city at one time must have been prosperous ，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization ．Houses--often three storeys high--were built of stone ．They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls ．The city was even equipped with a drainage system ，for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets． ． The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented

　a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hip. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

　 不久之前，在爱琴海的基亚岛上，考古工作者有一项有趣的发现。一个美国考古队在阿伊亚.依里尼海角的一座古城里考察了一座庙宇。这座古城肯定一度很繁荣，因为它曾享有高度的文明，房子一般有 3 层楼高，用石块修建。里面房间很大，墙壁装饰华丽。城里甚至还敷设了排水系统，因为在狭窄的街道底下发现了许许多多陶土制作的排水管道。

　 考古工作者考察的这座庙宇从公元前 15 世纪直到罗马时代一直是祭祀祈祷的场所。在庙中最神圣的一间殿堂里发现了 15 尊陶雕像的碎片。每一尊雕像代表一位女神，而且一度上过色。其中有一尊雕像，她的躯体是在公元前 15 世纪的历史文物中发现的，而她那身异处的脑袋却碰巧是在公元前 5 世纪的文物中找到的。她的脑袋一定是在古希腊罗马时代就为人所发现，并受到精心的保护。却使在当时，它也属历史悠久的珍奇之物。考古工作者把这些碎片重新拼装起来后，惊奇地发现那位女神原来是一位相貌十分摩登的女郎。她身高 3英尺，双手叉腰。身穿一条拖地长裙，尽管上了年纪，但体态确实优美。不过，考古工作者至今未能确定这位女神的身份。

　Lesson4

　 The double life of Alfred Bloggs These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as" white collar workers" for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.

　When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (n. 工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit.

　Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf"s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she

　never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him "Mr. Bloggs", not "Alf".

　如今，从事体力劳动的人的收入一般要比坐办公室的人高出许多。坐办公室的之所以常常被称作“白领工人”，就是因为他们通常是穿着硬领白衬衫，系着领带去上班。许多人常常情愿放弃较高的薪水以换取做白领工人的殊荣，此乃人之常情。而这常常会引起种种奇怪的现象，在埃尔斯米尔公司当清洁工的艾尔弗雷德.布洛斯就是一个例子。

　 艾尔弗结婚时，感到非常难为情，而没有将自己的职业告诉妻子。他只说在埃尔斯米尔公司上班。每天早晨，他穿上一身漂亮的黑色西装离家上班，然后换上工作服，当 8 个小时清洁工。晚上回家前，他洗个淋浴，重新换上那身黑色西服。两年多以来，艾尔弗一直这样，他的同事也为他保守秘密。艾尔弗的妻子一直不知道她嫁给了一个清洁工，而且她永远也不会知道了，因为艾尔弗已找到薪职，不久就要坐办公室里工作了。他将来挣的钱只有他现在的一半。不过他觉得，地位升高了，损失点儿钱也值得。从此，艾尔弗可以一天到晚穿西服了。别人将称呼他为“布洛格斯先生”，而不再叫他“艾尔弗”了。

　Lesson 5

　 The facts Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president"s palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: "Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president"s palace." The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.

　 The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but receiv...

Atthis time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of ajewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had beenworking busily since 8 o"clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and可编辑

After gazingat the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on andits horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler"s.One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their facesjumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this wasgoing on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out ofthe window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves wasstruck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds tonotice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled backinto the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylorrushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible tostop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.Lesson 7 Mutilated ladiesChildren often have far more sense than their elders.

Theatricalmake-up and artificial blood had been used to make the injuries look realistic. A lotof People were lying "dead" in the streets. The living helped to carry the dead andwounded to special stations. A Child of six was brought in by two adults. The childwas supposed to be dead.
