how to bring a person out.

后面的staff:(the commercial and

6、There are a
number of other positions to consider.
”A
number of” 换成 “a lot of” 或者是”a great
many”
行不行，为什么?
可以换成a lot of或a great many

名词。如果这里是不可数名词，则只能用a number

a great many.修饰可数不可数都行：a number ofa
lot of,只能
修饰可数：a great many of(与many性质一样)
7、Would you mind letting me take a look in your
briefcase?
将”letting me”换成 “let me”
行不行，为什么?
不行，mind是动词，后面不能直接跟动词原形，一般接名词(或
动名词),这里的letting是let的动名词形式。
8、I’m afraid I
certainly do mind, if it’
s all the same to
you.
“Do mind”与” all the same”什么意思?
do mind: 在英语中强调动词，用助动词do(各种时态)+动词原
形。
all the same: 完全一样，用于强调。

这里不是词组，down这里的意思是“沿着”，相当于along。down the
path是介宾结构词组，在句中作points them的补充状语。

The circumstances
surrounding the birth of a female infant
in
Kosciusko,
Mississippi, on , 1954,were not
promising present was the
usual mix that had
so often accumulated into a burden too heavy
for a single-parent household like the one
Oprah Winfrey grew
up in. The state in which
she was born had laws in place waiting
to
characterize her as unwelcome, to bar her
participation in
otherwise accebtable
social activities, to shackle her to
the
residue of slavery and other injustices of the
past. The
simple truth is that her
grandmother, her great-grandmother and
all the
great-great-grandmothers before them never
experienced
one day of life free from the
harsh decrees of state-sponsored
racial
repression.
In hindsight, it appears that
her birth was an uneventful
one. But at age
three she was reciting speeches from church
pulpits. Upon discovering books, the child
delved into the
written word, turning out
weekly book reports for her father.
Even
during turbulent times, not a moment was wasted.
Seeds were
being planted, watered, and
nurtured. On April 13, 1964, nearly
an
adolescent and watching
television from the
linoleum floor of her mother’s walk-up

flat in something deep
the film industry’
s highest honor. Sharing
in that moment and all it implied
she
later told me, caused her to say softly to
herself, “If
he can do that, I wonder what I
could do?”
The ground had been set. The
journey of Oprah Winfrey had
begun. The babe,
the child, the adolescent, the young woman-all
their strengths were harnessed into a force of
astonishing
power that placed itself in the
service of nature and the human
family. That
the world has changed in meaningful ways since
1954
is beyond question. Oprah and her
activities were driving
forces in many of
those magazine, her empowering spiritual
message, her contribution (by action and
example) to improving
race relations-all speak
to the human family, touching hearts
and
leaving each one uplifted.
Mississippi too
seems to be mellowing out into a more
congenial place than it was in 1954. that may
also be partly
due to the very sbecial enerav
that is Oprah Winfrey-a
courageous, funny,
compassionate, well-informed, dazzlingly
curious person, as down-to-earth and loving as
any human being
I’ve ever known. 参考译文:

山的一个女婴。那时，对于像 Oprah Winfrey (奥普
来.温弗里)这样
日常开销负担特别繁重的单亲家庭来说，她的出身并不是那么让人期
待。她所
在的国家，已经有适当的法律等候着将她列为不受欢迎的对
象，阻击她参加其它合理的社交活动，让她背
负上了奴隶制度剩余产
物的枷锁，
还有以往其
它一些不公平的待遇。简单
的事实就是她的祖母、曾祖母以及更
早的一代之前，在政府纵恿的种族镇压法令下，从未经历过一天生命
的自由。
之后的迹象表明，她的出生似乎平淡无奇。但是，在她三年的时

便开始在教堂的讲道坛背诵演说，在发现了书籍的之后，她便钻

次书梯的公寓的油布地毯

道路已经被铺平了，Oprah Winfrey 开始了她的旅程。从婴儿到
小孩、到青少年、再到年
轻女士——万事俱备，使得她在服务于自然
界与人类家庭上迸发出一种惊人的能力。从1954年起，毫
无疑问，
世界已经以一种积极的方式发生着改变。Oprah和她的脱口秀是其中

密西西比也受到了潮流的影响，比1954年看起来适意得多。其

人，是
