新概念英语第二册课文Lesson 22 A glass envelope 玻璃信封

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

Notes on the text 课文注释

1  dreamed of receiving a letter，想到会收到一封信。dream of作“梦想”，“幻想”讲；receiving是动名词，作介词of的宾语。2  Last year，we were travelling across the Channel and…，去年，当我们横渡英吉利海峡时……。这是过去进行时的一种用法，用来叙述故事情节的背景。过去进行时描述背景，由此引出一般过去时表示的新动作。3  with her name and address on it用来进一步说明a piece of paper。可译作“写有她姓名和地址的(一张纸条)”。

参考译文

我的女儿简从未想过会接到荷兰一位同龄姑娘的来信。去年，当我们横渡英吉利海峡时，简把写有她姓名和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子，又将瓶子扔进了大海。此后她就再没去想那只瓶子。但10个月以后，她收到了荷兰一位姑娘的来信。现在这两位姑娘定期通信了。然而她们还是决定利用邮局。这样会稍微多花点钱，但肯定是快得多了。
