新视野第四册第二课(2)

原句：His huge fame gave him the freedom — and, more importantly, the money — to be his own master. (L. 35)

他的巨大名声为他带来了自由，更重要的是带来了财富，他因此得以成为自己的主人。 句型提炼：

Sth/Sb.… More importantly, sth./Sb. else…

某事······，更重要的是······

应用：

工作不仅是维持生计的方式，更重要的是人们可以通过工作展现自己的才能，实现自己的抱负，建立人际关系和奠定社会地位的途径。

Work is not only a means of sustaining life. More importantly, it is the way through which people display their talent, realize their ambitions, build relationships and establish social status.

2.2.3 Difficult sentences

1) Certainly middle-class audiences did; the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it up, or aiming the heel of his boot for a well-placed kick at its broad rear.（L.11-14）

中产阶级当然这样认为；劳动阶级倒更有可能为这样一个反抗权势的角色拍手喝彩：他以顽皮的小拐杖使绊子，或把皮靴后跟对准权势者宽大的臀部一踢。

Meaning: There is no doubt that middle-class audiences thought so (Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp a little crude); this character was more popular among working-class audiences because he showed his discontent with people of authority by using his little cane to make them fall or by directing a kick at their rears.

2）As Oona herself was the child of a large family with its own problems, she was well-prepared for the battle that Chaplin’s life became as unfounded rumors of Marxist sympathies surrounded them both—and, later on, she was the center of rest in the quarrels that Chaplin sometimes sparked in their own large family of talented children.（L.58-61）

由于沃娜本人出生在一个被各种麻烦困扰的大家庭，她对卓别林生活中将面临的挑战也做好了充分准备，因为当时有毫无根据的流言说他俩是马克思主义的同情者。后来在他们自己的有那么多天才孩子的大家庭中，卓别林有时会引发争吵，而她则成了安宁的中心。

Meaning: Oona had met with many problems in her own family before marrying, so she was able to deal with the problems in Chaplin’s life. For example, at that time, there were unfounded rumors that they sympathized with Marxism; when Chaplin caused quarrels in their large family with many talented children, it was Oona who solved such problems and brought peace back into the family.

Humor

It is well-known that a sense of humor is God’s gift to mankind. For example, a humorous person is often popular with his friends and colleagues. And it is born within everyone’s heart. What’s more, it has to be developed. Even humor has to be cultivated with great efforts.

However, some people haven’t realized the benefit of humor to us in many respects. First of all, humor can help us maintain physical as well as mental well being. Meanwhile, it can help us live in harmony with others. And when we have misunderstanding and tension with others in our work or study, humor may ease the problems more quickly than angry words or quarrels. Therefore, a sense of humor is really one of the keys to happiness.

In a word, humor gives us great enjoyment to life and makes it worth living. It pays to be humorous.
