# 36 · 横渡英吉利海峡

### 第1段

Debbie Hart is going to swim across the English Channel tomorrow. She is going to set out from the French coast at five o'clock in the morning. Debbie is only eleven years old and she hopes to set up a new world record. She is a strong swimmer and many people feel that she is sure to succeed. Debbie's father will set out with her in a small boat. Mr. Hart has trained his daughter for years. Tomorrow he will be watching her anxiously as she swims the long distance to England. Debbie intends to take short rests every two hours. She will have something to drink but she will not eat any solid food. Most of Debbie's school friends will be waiting for her on the English coast. Among them will be Debbie's mother, who swam the Channel herself when she was a girl.

中文理解：黛比·哈特明天要横渡英吉利海峡，清晨五点从法国海岸出发。她才十一岁，希望创造新的世界纪录。 她游泳很出色，很多人觉得她一定能成功。 黛比的父亲会驾着小船陪她出发。他已经训练女儿多年。明天，女儿游向英国海岸时，他会在一旁焦急地守望。 黛比打算每两小时短暂休息一次，喝点东西，但不吃任何固体食物。 她大多数同学会在英国海岸等着迎接她，母亲也会在那里。母亲年轻时，自己也曾游过这片海峡。

* **set out**：出发；启程；这两种表达都可说出发，目的地常用 for 引出；set up 另有意思。

* **set up a new world record**：创下一项新世界纪录；这里set up与record连用；现代英语也常说set a record。

* **sure to succeed**：一定能成功；这里表示很有把握的预期；不是be sure of某事。

* **long distance**：很长的距离；说明需要跨越的距离，可与 travel、swim 等动作搭配。

* **take short rests**：短暂休息几次；rest作可数名词指一次休息，可按次数变复数。

* **every two hours**：每隔两小时；every后接整个时间段，不用再加a。

#### Debbie Hart is going to swim across the English Channel tomorrow.

简单句，主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 一般将来时，本句为一般将来时，be going to do 为一般将来时的构成形式.

#### She is going to set out from the French coast at five o'clock in the morning.

简单句，主谓结构，set out 为不及物短语动词，后面的 from the French coast 是介词短语，不是直接宾语。

\[关键句型] 一般将来时，本句也用了be going to do 的形式.

#### Debbie is only eleven years old and she hopes to set up a new world record.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主系表结构；后句为主谓宾结构，其中动词不定式短语作宾语，我们细分该短语：to set up a (new world) record.

#### She is a strong swimmer and many people feel that she is sure to succeed.

并列句，and 分成前后两句，前句为简单句，主系表结构；后句为复合句，主句主谓 + that 引导的宾语从句结构，该从句为主系表结构.

#### Debbie's father will set out with her in a small boat.

简单句，主谓结构，用了一般将来时.

#### Mr. Hart has trained his daughter for years.

简单句，主谓宾结构，has done 用了现在完成时.

#### Tomorrow he will be watching her anxiously as she swims the long distance to England.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，as 引导的时间状语从句，主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] 本句的主句为将来进行时，will be doing 形式.

#### Debbie intends to take short rests every two hours.

简单句，主谓宾结构，动词不定式短语作宾语.

#### She will have something to drink but she will not eat any solid food.

并列句，but 连接的两句均为主谓宾结构，也都用了一般将来时，will do 结构.

#### Most of Debbie's school friends will be waiting for her on the English coast.

简单句，主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 本句为将来进行时，will be doing 形式.

#### Among them will be Debbie's mother, who swam the Channel herself when she was a girl.

复合句，主句为倒装结构，表语提前了，正常语序为Debbie’s mother will be among them. 后面是who 引导的定语从句，其实就是为了能够直接补充说明mother，才用了倒装结构，这里是who 引导的非限制性定语从句. 该定语从句本身还是一个复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，里面跟了一个when 引导的时间状语从句，主系表结构.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《横渡英吉利海峡》：十一岁的横渡挑战 → 大家看好她 → 父亲陪同护航 → 途中的休息与饮食 → 亲友在彼岸等候。再借一个结构讲自己的事：用本课相同结构，说出今天真正准备做的一件事。
