Questions jump into my mind. 4 "Why aren't you writing, Wang Han?" I look up at Ms Chen. My eyes meet hers. My mouth feels dry. 6 But then I think about the meaning of the sentence. I put up my hand. "Ms Chen, there's a mistake," I say. "That sentence is from Confucius, not from Mencius." 8 "Well done, Wang Han. In fact, this is my first lesson for all of you. You are now in junior high school. Learning will be more difficult. You need to think more in your learning. Please always remember this." 9 That's really an important lesson! Choose the main idea of the passage.

词典or ³ 【问】A psychologist would point out that observation or perception is a concept which refers not so much to acuteness of sight, hearing etc., or to the care with which they are applied, as to the ability to relate phenomena to a complex network of previous experiences and theories... (CBSE) [原译]一位心理学家会指出,观察或感觉是一种概念,与其说它和看、听等的敏锐性有关,即和看与听的仔细程度有关,不如说它和这样一种能力有关,这种能力可以把种种现象同一系列复杂的以往经验和理论联系起来......(中译本) or 在这里是“即”的意思吗? 【答】看、听的敏锐性与看、听的仔细程度显然不是指一回事,而是指两件不同的事,因此不能把 or 连接的前后两项看成是同位结构。 [试译]心理学家会指出,观察或感觉是这样一种概念:这种概念所指的与其说是看、听等的敏锐性或看、听等的仔细程度,还不如说是把现象同先前的经历和理论的复杂网络联系起来的能力...... 祈使句 + or 【问】 Write it down, or you'll forget it. 请解释句中 or 的含义和用法。 【答】与祈使句 + and 一样, 祈使句 + or 也相当于一个条件句, 不过意义是否定的, 即祈使句 + or = if not 或 unless。 1. Write it down, or you'll forget it. (=If you don't write it down, you'll forget it.) 写下来,否则你会忘的(如果你不写下来,你会忘的)。 2. Don't eat so much, or you'll be sorry. 不要吃那么多,否则你会后悔的。 3. Give it back to me, or I'll tell your mother. 把它还给我,否则我告诉你妈妈。 4. Work hard, or you won't be able to pass your examination. 努力学习,否则你无法通过考试。 5. Go, or I'll call the police. 滚开,否则我叫警察了。 6. Do that at once, or you will be punished. 立即干活,否则你们会受到惩罚。

词典they 【问】 He( = A psychologist) would point out that observation or perception is a concept which refers not so much to acuteness of sight, hearing, etc., or to the care with which they are applied, as to the ability to relate phenomena to a complex network of previous experiences and theories, i.e. to a meaningful frame of reference. (A Course in Basic Scientific English, p.77) [原译]他会指出观察或感觉是一个概念。这概念指的与其说是视觉、听觉等等的敏锐性或使用这些知觉的敏锐性的谨慎小心,倒不如说是把这些现象同先前的经历与理论的复杂网络联系起来的能力,也就是说同一个有意义的参照系联系起来的能力。(中译本) 原译文把 they 理解为指“敏锐性”,这似乎讲不通。请您帮助分析一下。 【答】从语法上看,they 不可能替代 acuteness(因为 acuteness 是单数名词),而只能替代 sight, hearing, etc.。 [试译]他们会指出,观察或感觉是这样一种概念:这种概念所指的与其说是看、听等的敏锐性,或者看、听等的仔细程度,还不如说是把现象同先前的经历和理论的复杂网络即有意义的参照系联系起来的能力。

词典not so much(...)as ² 【问】 The problem set for society is not the virtues of the type so much as its adequacy for its function. (New Concept English, Book 4, L. 19) [原译1]社会所要答复的问题并不是这类人物有无美德,而是他是否胜任他的职务。(中译本) [原译2]社会要回答的问题并不是这类人物有无美德,而是他是否胜任其职务。[《新概念英语》(四),朗文出版公司、世界图书出版公司,1993,p.80] 请分析 not so much as 的含义和译法。 【答】在我国的翻译出版物上,很多人都把 not so much A as B 统统译成了“不是 A,而是 B”。在汉语里,“不是 A 而是 B”意在完全排除(否定)A,而完全肯定 B。但是,根据 COD 的解释,not so much...as 在意义和用法上相当于 less...than,可见这个短语并不是表示肯定一项而否定另一项,而是表示两项兼而有之。换言之,这一结构常常用来比较两种说法的正确程度。在作者看来,后一种说法(as 项)更正确些。例如: 1. His success is not so much by talent as by energy. 他的成功与其说是由于才能,不如说是由于精力。(这句话决不意味着“他的成功与才能无关”) 2. He would point out that observation or perception is a concept which refers not so much to acuteness of sight, hearing, etc., or to the care with which they are applied as to the ability to relate phenomena to a complex network of previous experiences and theories. 心理学家会指出,观察和感觉是这样一种概念:这种概念所指的与其说是看、听等的敏锐性,或者看、听等的仔细程度,还不如说是把现象同先前的经历和理论的复杂网络连系起来的能力。 3. The Mr. Palomar telescope is placed on a mountain not so much to bring it nearer to the heavens as to put it where the air is purer and clearer and the noises and vibrations of cities are avoided. 把帕洛马望远镜安置在山上,与其说是为了更接近天空,还不如说是为了那里的空气比较纯净清新,又可避开城市的噪音和震动。 下列各句中的 not so much...as 也是译为“与其......不如......”,显得好些。 (1) The great use of a school education is not so much to teach you things as to teach you the art of learning. [原译]学校教育最大的效用,不在教你一些知识,而在教你学习的方法。(钱歌川:《翻译的技巧》,p.231) 难道能说教学生知识,一点不算“学校教育的重大效用”吗? (2) Success in life does not depend so much on one's school record as on one's honesty and diligence. not so much (...) as ³ 996 [原译]事业的成功并不靠在学校时的成绩,而要靠为人的诚实和勤勉。(钱歌川:《翻译的技巧》,p.231) 能说学校的学习成绩与事业的成功毫无关系吗? (3) Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because
