Lesson 73 The recorder-holder 纪录保持者【Text 】Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet days fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school. 【课文翻译】学的孩子们都缺乏想像力。 他们通常能够做到的， 至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼，或在电影院里坐上8 个小时，一遍遍地看同一部电影。而有那么一个小男孩，他在逃学期间旅行了1,600 英里，从而使上述所有逃学的孩子们都相形见绌了。他搭便车到了多佛，天快黑时钻进了一条船，想找个地方睡觉。第二天早上他醒来时，发现船在这段时间已经到了加莱丝。当男孩从船里爬出来时，谁也没有发现他。从那里他又搭上卡车到了巴黎。司机给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡，就把他丢在了城外。 男孩截住的第二辆车并没有如他所愿将他再到巴黎市区，而是将他载到了法国与西班牙的边境城市佩皮尼昂。不幸的是，在那里他被警察找到了，被当地政府遣送回了英格兰。在千千万万梦想着逃学的孩子当中，他可是创下了一个“ 不朽的记录 ” 。New words and expressions 生词和短语record-holder 纪录保持者truant n. 逃学的孩子unimaginative adj. 缺乏想像力的shame n. 惭愧，羞耻hitchhike v. 搭便车旅行meantime n. 其间lorry n. 卡车border n. 边界evade v. 逃避，逃离名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 1 页，共 10 页 - - - - - - - - - 【生词讲解】1.record-holder 记录保持者record 1） n 记录set up a record 创造记录build up a record 创造记录make a record 创造记录create a record 创造记录hold a record 保持记录break a record 打破记录beat a record 打破记录smash a record 大破记录2） v *r ? k? ? d 录音，录像2. truant n 逃学的孩子(child who stays away from school without permission) play truant 逃学eg: To him, home was just like a hell.
