 <播放语音>

Next morning, on scooters
Morley: What are those buildings that look like women's breasts?
Dan: They're the nuclear power plants. They supply Kaohsiung's power.
Morley: That's crazy to put a nuclear power plant here. Where do they send the waste?
Dan: Somewhere in the north or to some undeveloped islands to the east.
Morley: I bet the water they use to cool the reactors runs right into the ocean.
Dan: It does. It goes into a bay appropriately called Cesspool Bay by the local foreigners.

(下期续)

隔天早上,在机车上
莫理:那些看起来像是女人胸部的建筑物是什么?
阿丹:那是核能电厂。它们供应高雄的电力。
莫理:在这边设置核能电厂真是疯了。他们把核废料送到哪里?
阿丹:北部某个地方或是东部一些未开发的小岛。
莫理:我敢说用来冷却反应炉的水就这么直接流入海洋。
阿丹:的确。正是流入一个被当地外国人称为污水湾的海湾。

★ supply (v.) 供应

 => 每日背诵小段落 

  <播放语音>

An ill considered choice of blooms could leave a suitor's amorous intention misunderstood, whereas the right flower needed no explanation. If a lady was given a spray of red tulips, for instance, she knew her gentleman caller was smitten. If the ardor was returned, she might send him a bouquet of lilacs. But if she chose to respond with an arrangement of ivy, he'd realize a romance probably would not blossom.

如果花选择得不妥当,示爱者的满腔爱意就会遭到误解,而如果选择合适的花,就一切尽在不言中了。例如,如果一位女士收到一束红色郁金香,那么她知道送花的先生已经被她迷住了。如果她回赠他一束紫丁香,表明他的热诚得到了回应。但如果她回赠的是带有常春藤的花束,他该意识到这段罗曼史也许没有下文了。

 
 => 简明语法


定语从句


  定语从句(Attributive Clauses)在句中做定语,修饰一个名词或代词,被修饰的名词,词组或代词即先行词。定语从句通常出现在先行词之后,由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。
