新概念英语第三册课文听力视频精讲Lesson59 Collecting（一）书本People tend to amass possessions, sometimes without being aware of doing so.人们喜欢收藏东西，有时并没有意识到自己在这样做。Indeed they can have a delightful surprise when they find something useful which they did not know they owned.确实，一旦无意之中从自己的收藏品中找到某件有用的东西时，可 以给人一种惊喜的感觉。Those who never have to move house become indiscriminate collectors of what can only be described as clutter.那些从来不必搬家的人们成了一种无所无容的收藏家。They leave unwanted objects in drawers, cupboards and attics for years, in the belief that they may one day need just those very things.他们专门收藏那些只能被称作杂货的东西。他们在抽屉里，碗柜中、 阁楼上堆放着一些不用的东西，一放就是好几年，As they grow old, people also accumulate belongings for two other reasons,相信总有一天需要的正好是那些东西。人们年老之后也喜欢收藏东 西，不过是出于两个不同的原因：lack of physical and mental energy, both of which are essential in turning out and throwing away, and sentiment.Be contented with sth./sb.PleasedSatisfiedDelightedBoredom n.烦恼，无聊同义词：Monotonous/tedious/tired/tiresome/bored a.Text课文写作特点：对比：通过事物比事物法，分析事物之间的差异。Tend to :喜欢,有倾向Without being aware of doing sth.=>unawaring of doing sth.Have a delighted surprise 有惊喜的感觉What引导主语从句- I am a collector of what can be described as valuable stamps.- I know a person of what can be described as bookworm.Unwanted objects 不要的东西介词短语：在句中相当于动词In the belief that= believe in- -1 did so in the belief that you can help me.In the thought that =think in- I said so in the thought that I wouldn' t hurt you.Under the impression that-I am under the impression that the diamonds are really beautiful.Very,加强语气At exactly that moment=at that very moment 就在那时英文中注意词性相同的概念：I failed my examination for two reasons, lack of hard work, being late for the examination.Reason (n.)=>lack-.； being-, (n.)Sentiment: n.情感Sentimental: a.多愁善感的in an attempt to do sth.竭尽全力做某事比to表目的 赋予了感情色 彩-He rarely goes shopping in an attempt to save up.Thrifty=economical, frugal 节俭的Save doing sth.免掉做某事的麻烦-after supper; I will wash up them and then you will save doing so.作进一步解释save the trouble of doing sthSufficiently->enoughEvery time=wheneverCollection强调收藏品Collecting强调的是动作-collecting stamps is my favorite hobby.Relaxation=entertainment, amusement 休息，娱乐Treasures=valuable collection 珍宝， 财宝 由组成：consist of / be made up of / comprise / constitute /与密切相关Have bearing on sth. / relation to /be related to/ have relation to利益Advantage / privilege / benefitBe confined to限定于区域范围之内-He is confined to the box.Over the years=as time goes on :随着日寸间的流逝Well用来加强语气一是体力，精力均告不佳，这二者是清除无用的东西必不可少的因 素；另一原因是感情因素。Things owned for a long time are full associations with the past, perhaps with relatives who are dead,东西搁得时间久了，便会充满着与过去岁月的联系，比方说与死去 的亲戚有关。and so they gradually acquire a value beyond their true worth.因此这些东西慢慢获得了一种超出它本身的价值。Some things are collected deliberately in the home in an attempt to avoid waste.居家度日，有目的地收藏某些东西是为了防止浪费。Among these I would list string and brown paper,这些东西中我想举出线绳和包装纸为例。kept by thrifty people when a parcel has been opened, to save buying these two requisites.节俭的人们打开包裹后便把这两样必备的东西收藏起来。省得日后 去买。Collecting small items can easily become a mania.收集小玩艺儿很容易着迷。I know someone who always cuts sketches out from newspapers of model clothes that she would like to buy if she had the money.我认识一个人，她总喜欢从报纸上剪下流行服装的图样，等以后有钱时去买服装。As she is not rich, the chances that she will ever be able to afford such purchases are remote;由于她并不富裕，她买得起这些服装的可能性十分渺茫。but she is never sufficiently strong-minded to be able to stop the practice.但她又缺乏足够坚强的意志把这一收集活动停下来。It is a harmless habit, but it litters up her desk to such an extent that every time she opens it, loose bits of paper fall out in every direction.这种习惯无害，只把写字台里堆得满满当当，以致每次打开抽屉总 能带出许多纸片四处飞扬。Collecting as a serious hobby is quite different and has many advantages.作为一种严肃的业余爱好的收藏活动完全是另外一回事，It provides relaxation for leisure hours, as just looking at one s treasures is always a joy.它具有许多益处。它可以使人在闲暇中得到休息，因为欣赏自己收 藏的珍品总会充满了乐趣。One does not have to go outside for amusement, since the collection is housed at home.人们不必走到户外去寻求娱乐，因为收藏品都是存放在家中。Whatever it consists of, stamps, records, first editions of books china,不管收藏品是什么，邮票、唱片、头版书籍、瓷器、glass, antique furniture, pictures, model cars, stuffed birds, toy animals, 玻璃杯、老式家具、绘画、模型汽车、鸟类标本，还是玩具动物， there is always something to do in connection with it, from finding the right place for the latest addition, to verifying facts in reference books.从为新增添的收藏品寻找摆放位置到核对参考书中的事实，总归有 事可做。This hobby educates one not only in the chosen subject, but also in general matters which have some bearing on it.这种爱好不仅能使人从选择的专题中受到教育，而且也能从与之有 关的一般事物中获得长进。There are also other benefits.除此之外，还有其他的益处。One wants to meet like-minded collectors, to get advice, to compare notes, to exchange articles, to show off the latest find.收藏者要会见情趣相投的收藏者，以获取教益，交流经验、交换收 藏品，炫耀自己的最新收藏。So one s circle of friends grows.朋友的圈子就这样不断扩大。Soon the hobby leads to travel, perhaps to a meeting in another town, possibly a trip abroad in search of a rare specimen,用不了多久，有这种爱好的人便开始旅行，也许是去另一个城市参加会议，也可能是出国寻找一件珍品，for collectors are not confined to any one country.因为收藏家是不分国籍的。Over the years, one may well become an authority on one s hobby and will very probably be asked to give informal talks to little gatherings and then,一人积了多年经验会成为自己这种爱好的权威，很可能应邀在小型 集会上作非正式的讲话。if successful, to larger audiences.如果讲得好，可能向更多人发表演说。In this way self-confidence grows, first from mastering a subject, then from being able to talk about it.这样，你自信心不断增强，先是因为掌握一门学问，接下来是因为 能够就此发表见解。Collecting, by occupying spare time so constructively, makes a person contented, with no time for boredom.收藏活动通过富有建设性地利用业余时间使人感到心满意足，不再 有无聊之日。笔记New words and expression 生词和短语本课的重点：重复使用关键词，用来突出你的主题收藏：amassaccumulate collected collecting treasure collection
