Lesson 70 Red for danger危险的红色

1. During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring.
在一次斗牛时，一个醉汉突然溜达到斗牛场中间。

drunk n. 醉汉
wander v. 漫无目的地走

2. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger.
人们开始大叫起来，但醉汉却没有意识到危险。

be unaware of 不知道，没有察觉
e.g. While she read the book, she was unaware of the noise around her.
I was unaware that you were coming.

3. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap.
当时那公 牛正忙于对付斗牛士，但突然它看见了醉汉，只见他正大声说着粗鲁的话，手里挥动着一顶红帽子。

(1) busy with
busy doing sth
busy to do sth

(2) catch sight of是个固定短语，意为“看见”、“发现”：
As I came out of the shop, I caught sight of Dan in the crowd.

4. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk.
对挑衅显然非常敏感的公牛完全撇开斗牛士，直奔醉汉而来。

apparently adv. 明显地
e.g. Apparently, she resigned because she had an argument with her boss.

sensitive表示“敏感的”、“神经过敏的”、“易生气的”或“介意的”等，通常与to+名词连用，也可作定语：
She is sensitive to smells.
Mary has a sensitive ear.
You're too sensitive.
你太敏感了（太容易生气了）。

5. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself.
观众突然静了下来，可这醉汉像是很有把握似的。

be/ feel sure of oneself 表示“有信心”：
e.g. She's always so sure of herself.

6. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass.
当公牛逼近他时，他踉跄地往旁边一闪，牛扑空了。

7. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed.
观众欢呼起来，醉汉向人们鞠躬致谢。

break into 的含义之一是“突然发出／做出”、“突然……起来”，有控制不住的含义, 后跟名词而不是动名词：
e.g. On hearing the news, she broke into tears.
When Sally saw the woman wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse, she broke into laughter.

8. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety.
然而，此时已有3个人进入斗牛场，迅速把醉汉拉到安全的地方。

drag 通常表示拖非常沉重的东西，动作需要用力，暗示有某种阻力、摩擦等：
e.g. He dragged the piano across the room.
He was too tired and could hardly drag himself along.

9. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.
好像连牛也在为他感到遗憾，因为它一直同情地看着醉汉，直到他的背影消逝，才重新将注意力转向斗牛士。

这个句子很长。for引导的句子与它前面的分句为并列句。for引导的分句中有两个时间状语，一是until引导的从句，二是before引导的动名词短语，其作用也相当于一个从句，由于主语也是it，用动名词形式更简洁些。
(1) sorry for sb.
sorry for doing sth
e.g. He wasn’t sorry for hitting the other boy.
sorry to do sth
I am sorry to hear that your father died.
(2) look on可以表示“观看”、“旁观”：
Mary people just looked on while the two men robbed a woman.
(3) out of the way为固定短语，可以表示“不挡道”、“不碍事”：
While making meat pies, I always order the children to keep out of the way.
我做肉馅饼时，总是命令孩子们不要碍事。

本课词组：

be unaware of
catch sight of
sensitive to criticism
be sure of oneself
get close to
break into cheers
fell sorry for
look on
out of the way
turn one’s attention to
