  本课您将学到:height的用法,有趣的“三合一”惯用语

  “半夜的太阳”——极昼现象和北极光,都是特有的自然现象。今天,就让我们一起走进北极圈!

  Midnight sun is a state of mind. Time makes no sense in this world. You can leave your watch in your suitcase.

  夜半阳光是一种心境。在这里,时间毫无意义。你可以把手表留在手提箱里了。

  The children will roller-skate(溜旱冰) down the streets in the middle of the night ---- with sun in their faces. Small motorboats(汽艇) chug(发出轧轧声前进) out of the harbor(海港). Groups of people sit on the rocks here and there, enjoying the never-ending sunlight.

  孩子们会半夜出来溜冰——阳光洒在他们脸上,小型摩托艇轧轧叫着驶出港湾。人们成群结队散坐在岩石上,享受这永远不会消失的阳光。

  The northern lights(北极光) are no less impressive(给人深刻印象的). White, yellow, green and red, they sweep(扫清) across the dark sky in a state of eternal(永恒的), rapid(迅速地) flux. Northern lights appear all year round in Greenland, but they can only be observed(看到) against a clear, dark night sky. They appear at a height(高度) of about 100 kilometers (65 miles) and have the shape of a flapping curtain(窗帘) or points radiating(放射) from a single dot(点).

  北极光也不逊色。白黄绿红,这些颜色从空中横扫而过,不停地快速变化着。格陵兰附近一年四季都有北极光,可只有在晴朗的黑色天幕衬托下,我们才能一睹它的风采。在100公里以外,它们看来就像飘动的帘子或是放出光芒的小点点。

  【世博读书笔记】

  1.flux

  a state of flux是固定用法,表示“变迁”、“不断的变化”等。与上面eternal(永恒的), rapid(迅速地)和起来,意思就是“永远不断地迅速变化着”。

  2.Height是名词,意思是“高度”,主要有以下一些用法:

  (1)表示身高,如填表时人家可能会说:

  State your age, height, and weight.

  填上你的年龄,身高和体重。

  如果两个人一般高,就可以用be the same/right height来讲,如:

  My daughter is already about the same height as I am.

  我女儿都快和我一般高了。

  (2)惯用语be at the height of your success/fame/powers etc.指的是“一个人最成功/著名/有威望的时候”,也就是“跨入了人生的巅峰”,如:

  The Beatles were at the height of their fame.
