TO LEON WERTH
I ask the indulgence of the children who may read this book for dedicating it to a grownup. I have a serious reason: he is the best friend I have in the world. I have another reason: this grown-up understands everything, even books about children. I have a third reason: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs cheering up. If all these reasons are not enough, I will dedicate the book to the child from whom this grown-up grew. All grown-ups were once children—although few of them remember it. And so I correct my dedication:
TO LEON WERTH WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY

Ⅰ

Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book,called True Stories from Nature,about the primeval forest. It Was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing.

注释：

1.boa constrictor:大蟒蛇

2.act:行动【in a act of：正在行动】

3.swallowing:吞咽【狼吞虎咽：wolf down】

4.非谓语：call, called, calling, to call

5.a copy of：一份。

【here is a copy of The Times.这里有一份泰晤时报】

In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.”

注释：

1.idiolect: 个人习惯用语

2.口香糖：chewing gum

3.介词+名词：

chewing it;

swallowing it.

4.they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.

they need the 6 months for digestion.

they sleep through the six months that they need the 6 months for digestion.

they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.

eg:

I want the book

You like the book

=I want the book xx You like the book.

=I want the book that You like .

I pondered deeply,then,over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. Tt looked something like this:

注释：

I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered :“Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?”

注释：

1.master:大拿，大师。

masterpiece:大师之作。

2.grown-ups:成年人

My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have thing explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:

注释：

1.so…that:如此以至于

2.so that:以至于，以便。

3.draw–drew–drawn

The grown-ups’ response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawing of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as painter. I have been disheartened by the failure of My Drawing Number One and My Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

注释：

1.一个句子通常几个谓语？一个谓语。

The grown-ups’ response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawing of boa constrictors,

后来的advise也是动词，（后来的老婆顶多做小三）

非谓语：to advise（（主动）要做）; advising（正在做）; advised（已经被做（被动））。

2.虚拟语气

原句：That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as painter.

might have been:过去的虚拟语气。

magnificent career：很棒的工作。

painter：画家。

as a painter:作为一个画家。

虚拟：假的呗，和试试不一样呗

"武库买书"是什么？would could might should

(1)如果我是你，我就不会走。–现在的假设，我是你这个东西是虚拟。

If I were you, I would not go.

(2)如果昨天下雨了，我就不会走。–过去的假设。

If it had rained yesterday. I wouldn’t have left. (leave-left-left)

(3)如果明天变成了你，我就不会走。–将来的假设。

If I become/should become/were to become you, I would not go.

(4)如果我是一个女孩，我就不会走（Lib）。–真实的事情，不需要虚拟。

If I am girl, I will not go.

	条件从句的谓语动词形式（如何咋地）	主句谓语动词形式（就会咋地）武库买书
与过去事实相反的假设	had down	武库买书+have down
与现在事实相反的假设	过去时（was–>were）	武库买书+do

千万不要背单词。DIY生词本：专属你的生词本。放自己用的上的词汇。
Corpora语料库（上亿。老外的词汇量：2W-3W）
不要抄单词–白费劲
记词根有一定的作用，但是使用了太多的逻辑思维。

4.原句：I have been disheartened by the failure of My Drawing Number One and My Drawing Number Two.

failure: 发音：ai-ei
御和园：夏宫殿。The Summer Palace.【DIY生词本】

5.原句：Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

被动语态里面by被：by myself ;be themselves;by herself; be himself。
tiresome:烦人的，讨厌的，麻烦的
it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.对小孩子来说，总是永远要给成年人解释(一大堆)是令人疲惫的。

=it is tiresome for children (to be always and forever explains things) to them.

=强调句:it …that…

英语里边有个特别爱管闲事的东西：it。

to be explaining:动词不定式（运行含义），表示一种抱怨的情绪。

eg: she was talking to the mice.过去进行？不是。抱怨，总是这样！有病！宝宝很生气。

Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or starts. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.
