【題目】William Lindesay, a British traveler and writer, has been exploring the Great Wall—one of the human's most wonderful building projects. Not even a Chinese knows the Great Wall of China as well as he does.

When, as a schoolboy, Lindesay announced his plan to explore the Great Wall, nobody took him seriously. But Lindesay achieved his goal, by spending 25 years on the Great Wall and has become one of the world's most famous experts on its rich history. Lindesay now lives and works in Beijing. This year his new book has come out, The Great Wall Explained, with a lot of photographs and articles.

Running on the Great Wall was a brave trip and Lindesay had already run 3，000 kilometers along it! During those years, he got to many villages along the way. He was often helped by friendly villagers, although they didn't quite understand why the Englishman would have such interest in the Great Wall.

【2】 25 years.

【4】 他經(jīng)常得到友好村民的幫助，盡管他們很不理解為什么這位英國(guó)人對(duì)長(zhǎng)城懷有如此濃厚的興趣。

【5】 William Lindesay：a Life/an Expert on the Great Wall

【解析】

這篇文章主要介紹了William Lindesay研究長(zhǎng)城的相關(guān)事情，Lindesay是一位英國(guó)作家和旅行者，對(duì)長(zhǎng)城的了解遠(yuǎn)勝于一個(gè)中國(guó)人，在學(xué)生時(shí)代的時(shí)候，Lindesay就表明要去探索長(zhǎng)城，花了25年的時(shí)間研究長(zhǎng)城，Lindesay成為世界上了解長(zhǎng)城歷史的最知名的專家之一。Lindesay的新書(shū)，《解說(shuō)長(zhǎng)城》（The Great Wall Explained）出版了。

【1】句意：誰(shuí)是威廉林德賽？根據(jù)文中William Lindesay，a British traveler and writer，has been exploring the Great Wall-one of the human's most wonderful building projects（英國(guó)旅行家和作家威廉·林德賽（William Lindesay）一直在探索長(zhǎng)城---人類最偉大的建筑項(xiàng)目之一），我們知道 Lindesay是一位長(zhǎng)城專家/世界上最著名的長(zhǎng)城專家之一/英國(guó)旅行家和作家。所以答案可以是An expert in the Great wall/One of the world's most famous experts on the Great wall/A British traveler and writer.

【2】句意：林德賽在長(zhǎng)城上花了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間？根據(jù)文中"But Lindesay achieved his goal，by spending 25 years on the Great Wall and has become one of the world's most famous experts on its rich history"（但林德賽通過(guò)在長(zhǎng)城上面花費(fèi)了25年實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己的目標(biāo)，并成為世界上最著名的歷史專家之一）可以得知，Lindesay花了25年的時(shí)間研究長(zhǎng)城歷史，故填25 years.

【3】句意：他關(guān)于長(zhǎng)城的新書(shū)的名字是什么？根據(jù)文中"Lindesay now lives and works in Beijing．This year his new book has come out．The Great Wall Explained，with a lot of photographs and articles"（Lindesay現(xiàn)在在北京生活和工作。今年他的新書(shū)已經(jīng)出版，名字是《解說(shuō)長(zhǎng)城》，里面有很多照片和文章），我們可以得知Lindesay的新書(shū)名字，故填The Great Wall Explained.

【4】被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)was helped意為“被幫助”，friendly villager意為“友好的村民”，although意為“雖然”，didn’t quite understand指的是“很不理解”，have interest in意為“對(duì)…懷有興趣”，故翻譯為：他經(jīng)常得到友好村民的幫助，盡管他們很不理解為什么這位英國(guó)人對(duì)長(zhǎng)城懷有如此濃厚的興趣。

【5】根據(jù)文章主要內(nèi)容，我們知道這篇文章主要介紹了William Lindesay，一位研究長(zhǎng)城的專家，講了他研究長(zhǎng)城的過(guò)程，出版了一本關(guān)于長(zhǎng)城的書(shū)，對(duì)長(zhǎng)城的了解勝于一位中國(guó)人，是世界上這領(lǐng)域最知名的專家．所以答案可以是 William Lindesay：a Life/an Expert on the Great Wall。

這篇文章的翻譯題稍有難度，翻譯此句，可以聯(lián)系上文進(jìn)行更準(zhǔn)確的翻譯，同時(shí)，注意被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)和讓步狀語(yǔ)從句及原因狀語(yǔ)從句的處理。was helped by…為一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，可以解釋被..幫助，為了更符合漢語(yǔ)言的表達(dá)習(xí)慣，我們將被改成動(dòng)詞得到，所以這句話的翻譯就是他經(jīng)常得到友好村民的幫助。although引導(dǎo)了讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，意為雖然，盡管；后面又由why引導(dǎo)了一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句，說(shuō)明村民們不懂的內(nèi)容，have a such interest in，意為對(duì)…有著濃厚的興趣．所以整句可以翻譯為：他經(jīng)常得到友好村民的幫助，盡管他們不理解為什么這位英國(guó)人對(duì)長(zhǎng)城懷有如此濃厚的興趣。

They find native speakers and ask for help when they make mistakes. They will try everything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things.

Finally, successful language learners are learners with purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in native speaker's lives. It's necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with foreigners and learn about their lives, their cultures and so on.

【題目】One day I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying "You don't say!" I was puzzled, and I thought, "Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about." So I said to him. "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?"

"Certainly! Everyone at home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!" "Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it." As I went on more about it, he stopped me again, "You don't say!"
