  61课课文详注 Further notes on the text

  1.at a cost of,造价为……,耗资,以……的价格/费用。

  He has just built a new house for his family at a cost of £10,000.他刚为他的家庭盖了一座新房子,耗资1万英镑。

  2.Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble. 从最开始哈勃望远镜就有问题。

  (1)start为名词,表示"开始"、"开端",from the start表示"从开始时",副词right起强调作用:

  He didn't want to work at the firm(right) from the start.他从最开始就不想在这家公司上班。

  (2)trouble在这里指"(机器等的)故障"、"问题":

  There is (engine) trouble with my car.我的汽车(发动机)有问题。

  (3)the Hubble代指 the Hubble telescope。由于上下文中没有其他以 Hubble命名的东西,前面又提到过一次Hubble telescope,所以用 the Hubble既简洁又不会引起误解。

  3.NASA is now going to put the telescope right…国家航天局准备纠正这一错误……

  put right表示"修好(故障等)"、"校正"、"纠正"等:

  Have you put the watch/clock right?你把表/钟对好了吗?

  Remember to put the lights right tomorrow.明天记得把灯修好。

  4.…the Hubble is above the earth's atmosphere, so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures of the stars and distant galaxies that we have ever seen.……哈勃位于地球的大气层之外,因此,它很快就会给我们传送我们所见到过的、有关恒星和远距离星系的最清晰的照片。

  (1)关系从句that we have ever seen修饰pictures。

  (2)由于哈勃望远镜位于大气层之外,它照相便不受大气的阻挡,因此照片清晰。

  (3)形容词最高级后面的关系从句常用…ever heard, met, read,seen等完成式:

  This is the longest book (that) I have ever read.这是我所看过的书中最长的一部。

  Ian is the most interesting man (that/whom) I have ever met.伊恩是我所遇见的最有趣的人。

  5.…the Hubble's eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderful pictures.……敏锐的哈勃望远镜将已经为我们送来了成千上万张精彩的照片。

  (1)eagle eye的含义是"鹰眼"、"锐利目光":

  His father's eagle eye is always on him.他父亲的锐利目光总是盯着他。

  (2)在表示"几千"、"数千"、"许许多多"、"成千上万"这些数字概念时可用thousands(of…):

  There are hundreds of thousands/thousands and thou

  sands of cars in this city.这座城市里有成千上万辆汽车。
