IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM

寻找琥珀屋

Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . 普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人

民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . 这件礼物就是琥珀屋，它之所以有这个名字，是因为造这间房子用了好几吨的琥珀。The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . 选出来的琥珀色彩艳丽，呈

现蜂蜜一样的黄褐色。The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . 琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的别致的建筑式样。It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . 它也是用金银珠宝装

饰起来的珍品。一批国家最优秀的艺术家用了大约十年的时间才把它

完成。

In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . 事实上，这个琥珀屋

并不是作为礼物来建造的。It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. 它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿设计(制作)的。However, the next King

of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. 然而，下一位普鲁士国王，腓特烈·威廉一世，

这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. 在1716年，他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. 作为回赠，沙皇则送给他一队自己最

好的士兵。So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. 这样，琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。About four meters long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . 这间琥珀屋长约四米，被用作招待重要来宾的小型

会客室。

Later, Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世派人

把琥珀屋搬到圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宫殿中。She told her artists to add more details to it . 她叫她的工匠在原来设计的基础上增添了更多

精细的装饰。In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . 1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. 将近600支蜡烛

照亮了这个房间，里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . 可悲的是，尽管琥珀屋被认为是世界上的一

大奇迹之一，可是现在它却消失了。

年9 In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . 1941

月，纳粹德国的军队逼近圣彼得堡。This was a time when the two countries were at war . 这是在两国交战的时期。Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . 在纳粹分子到达

夏宫之前，俄罗斯人只能把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小件艺术饰品搬

走。However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . 可是琥

珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子偷偷地运走了。In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes . 在不到两

天的时间里，10万个部件装进了27个木箱。There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . 毫无疑问，这些箱子后来被装上火车运

往哥尼斯堡，它是当时德国在波罗的海边的一个城市。After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . 从那以后，琥珀

屋的去处便成了一个谜。

Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber

Room , they have made the new one look like the old one. 近来，俄罗斯

人和德国人已经在夏宫建起了一个新的琥珀屋，通过研究琥珀屋原来

的照片，他们建造的新琥珀屋样子和旧的看起来非常像。In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city. 2003年，圣彼得堡人民就用它来庆祝该市建成

300周年。

2.限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的六点区别

区别一：形式不同

限定性定语从句主句和从句之间不用逗号隔开，口语中使用时也

不停顿;而非限定性定语从句与主句之间通常有逗号隔开，口语中使

用时有停顿。

区别二：功能不同

限定性定语从句用于对先行词的意义进行修饰、限制和识别，如

果去掉，就会造成句意不完整或概念不清;而非限定性定语从句用于

对先行词起补充说明作用，如果省略，句意仍然清楚、完整。如：People who take physical exercise live longer. 进行体育锻炼的人

活得长些。(若把从句去掉句子就失去意义)

His daughter, who is in Boston now, is coming home next week. 他

女儿现在在波士顿，下星期回来。(若把从句去句子意义仍然完整) 区别三：翻译不同

在翻译定语从句时，一般把限定性定语从句翻译在它所修饰的先

行词之前，而把非限定性定语从句与主句分开。如：

He is the man whose car was stolen. 他就是汽车被窃的那个人。

I’ve invited Jim, who lives in the next flat. 我邀请了吉姆，他就住在隔壁。

区别四：含义不同

比较下面的两个句子：

I have a sister who is a doctor. 我有一个医生的姐姐。(姐姐不止一个)

I have a sister, who is a doctor. 我有一个姐姐，她是当医生的。(只有一个姐姐)

区别五：先行词不同

限定性定语从句的先行词只能是名词或代词，而非限定性定语从句的先行词则可以是名词或代词，也可以是短语或句子;另外，当先行词为专有名词或其他具有独一无二性的普通名词时，通常要用非限制性定语从句，而不用限制性定语从句。如：

Peter drove too fast, which was dangerous. 彼得开车很快，这是很危险的。(which指drive too fast)

He changed his mind, which made me very angry. 他改变了主意，这使我很生气。(which指整个主句)

区别六：关系词不同

关系词that和why可用于限制性定语从句中，通常不用于非限

制性定语从句;另外，在限制性定语从句中，关系词有时可以省略(参见本章有关内容)，而在非限制性定语从句中关系词一律不省略。

A FACT OR AN OPINION?

一个事实还是一个观点

Is it something that people believe?什么是事实呢?是不是人们所相信的就是事实呢?No.A fact is anything that can be proved.不是。事实是可以证实的信息。For example,it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world.This is a fact.举例来说，中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都多，这是可以得到证实的，这就是事实。

Then what is an opinion?那么，什么是看法呢?An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved.看法是人们相信是真实的但是未经证实。So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial.因此在审判中，看法不是强有力的证据。For example,it is an opinion if you say“Cats are better pets than dogs”.举例来说，如果你说：“猫作为宠物比狗好。”It may be true,but it is difficult to prove.这就是看法，这个看法可能是正确的，但是它

难以被证实。Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.有些人可能不同意这种看法，但是他们也不能证明他们是正确的。

In a trial,a judge must decide which eyewitnesses

to believe and which not to believe.在审判中，法官必须断定哪些证人可以相信，哪些证人不能相信。The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works.法官并不考虑证人的长相如何，也不考虑这个人住在哪里，在哪儿工作。He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information,which must be facts rather than opinions.他(她)关心的只是目击者是否提供了

真实的信息，这些信息必须是事实而不是个人观点或看法。This kind of information is called evidence.这种信息就叫做证据。

A FACT OR AN OPINION?

一个事实还是一个观点

What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved.For example,it can be proved that China has more people than any other

country in the world.This is a fact.

什么是事实？是一些人们相信的东西吗？不！事实是可以被证明

的任何事。例如，可以证明中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都

要多。这是一个事实。

Then what is an opinion?An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved.So

an opinion is not good evidence in a trial.For example,it is an opinion if you say“Cats are better pets than dogs”.It may be true,but it is difficult to prove.Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.

那么什么是一个观点？一个观点是人们相信那是真的但还没有

被证明的。所以一个观点在一个审判中不是一个好的证据。例如，如

果你说“猫是比狗好的宠物”这会是一个观点。这可能是真的，不过

很难去证明。一些人可能不同意这个观点不过他们也不能去证明他们

是对的。

In a trial,a judge must decide which eyewitnesses

to believe and which not to believe.The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works.He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information,which must be facts rather than opinions.This kind of information is called evidence.

在一场审审讯（审判）中，一个审判官一定要去决定相信哪个目

击者哪个目击者不应该相信。这个审判官不会去考虑每个目击者的长相或人们在哪里居住或工作。他/她只关心目击者是否会提供真实的信息，信息一定是事实而不是观点。这类的信息被称为证据。

M1U2Home alone Act One Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter. Dad: It’s so nice to be home! Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys! Suddenly the door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly. Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early! (looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but … you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow! The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad. Mom: (bending to touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry! (looking at table) The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is starving! What did you do with the cash we left? Dad: And look at this room—garbage all over the place! Where is your brother? (shouting angrily) Daniel! Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain … Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper. Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel. Dad: (sounding very angry) Listen to me, young man—we left you in charge! We thought you could act like an adult, but look at the mess! I don’t know why the house is so dirty ...

In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. Unit 2 AN INTERVIEW
