這篇文章講述了一位母親在孩子成長過程中的感受和經(jīng)歷。她描述了從孩子?jì)雰簳r(shí)期到成年后的變化,以及她與兩個(gè)兒子之間的難忘時(shí)光。雖然時(shí)間飛逝,但母子間的情感歷久彌新。
　　Life seems long when we're looking ahead,and so short when we're looking back.That's especially true for a mother.One day you're holding a two-month-old baby,wondering if he's ever going to stop crying.And the next day you're seeing him off at college,wondering if he's ever going to call you.
Where does the time fly I want my children to grow up,but I don't want to let them go.The grown children can be as much fun as little ones.Here are two examples:
When my father-in-law died,I called my younger son Nate to say I'd drive up to Yosemite,and we'd drive out the next day to attend the funeral①.It was snowing when I stopped in the park.The next morning,Nate and I left early,only to get stuck behind a bus with a flat tyre,blocking the road.We sat for five hours in a blizzard (暴風(fēng)雪) waiting for the road to be cleared.Meanwhile,Nate entertained② me with jokes.I will never forget it.
A few years later,I flew to New York to visit my elder son Josh.That night,Josh began having pain in his right side.We took a cab③ to a hospital and he had an operation.Afterwards,I stayed for a week to take care of him.We watched movies and ate take-out④ meals.I will never forget it.
Being a mother doesn't end when our children grow up.We still want to protect⑤ them,just as we did the day they were born.And grown children will always need a mother.At the same time,we'll always need our grown-up⑥ children to make us laugh and keep us young and fill that place in our hearts that only they can fill.

學(xué)會(huì)斷句:本句為復(fù)合句。when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句;you wish是主句句子主干,后接賓語從句,用了虛擬語氣。

學(xué)會(huì)斷句:本句是復(fù)合句。第一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)賓語從句;it是形式主語,真正的主語是to struggle with the stress;第二個(gè)that引導(dǎo)定語從句,修飾the stress;第三個(gè)that引導(dǎo)賓語從句,也作remember的賓語。
嘗試翻譯:只要記住,無法輕松應(yīng)對(duì)親子關(guān)系緊張帶來的壓力是完全正常的,并且你和父母可以共同努力,改善關(guān)系。
Ⅱ.翻轉(zhuǎn)課堂(課文語法填空)

[原文呈現(xiàn)]　　　　　 Strangers under the same roof
　　Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything① [1] You are not alone.Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
[1]該句為問題導(dǎo)入,引起讀者的興趣和共鳴,激發(fā)讀者的思考。
Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions②.You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate③ to your friends, shooting up in height④ or getting left far behind.[2] You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots.When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger.
[2]該句為復(fù)合句,that引導(dǎo)賓語從句, shooting up in height和getting left far behind是并列的現(xiàn)在分詞短語作狀語,表伴隨。
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too.You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult.You have both a new desire for independence⑤ and a continued need for your parents’ love and support.You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own⑥. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.[3] “Why can’t they just let me go ” you may wonder.On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings⑦, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride⑧.It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult.All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship⑨.
[3]該句為and連接的兩個(gè)并列句。第一個(gè)分句中not always為部分否定,意為“并非總是”。
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation⑩.The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication.When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view .Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain.After you have thought it through , explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and address their concerns .Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.[4]
[4]該句為簡單句。 Through this kind of...作狀語,表方式。句中兩個(gè)when to...為“疑問詞+不定式”結(jié)構(gòu),作動(dòng)詞learn 的賓語。
Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.[5] The good news is that this stormy period will not last.[6] Everything will turn out all right in the end , and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood .
[5]該句為祈使句。remember后接兩個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。第一個(gè)賓語從句的that可以省略, 第二個(gè)賓語從句的that 不可以省略。第一個(gè)賓語從句中that parent-child tensions create為定語從句,修飾前面的the stress。
[6]該句為復(fù)合句。that引導(dǎo)表語從句。

[譯文參考]　　　　　 同一屋檐下的陌生人
是不是你和父母的每一頓飯似乎都會(huì)演變成一場爭執(zhí) 你們?cè)?jīng)暖心坦誠的對(duì)話是否已變得冷漠且謹(jǐn)慎 你是否覺得你已經(jīng)無法在任何事情上與他們達(dá)成一致 你并不是唯一的一個(gè)。激烈的爭論和冷淡的沉默在青少年和他們的父母之間是很常見的。
青少年的身體變化可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致這樣的家庭關(guān)系緊張。你可能會(huì)感到焦慮,因?yàn)槟愕陌l(fā)展速度與朋友不同,身高上升或被甩在后面。你可能會(huì)擔(dān)心自己不斷變化的聲音、體重問題和青春痘。當(dāng)這一切讓你不堪重負(fù)時(shí),父母常常會(huì)成為你發(fā)泄憤怒的首選目標(biāo)。
如何平衡你日益發(fā)展的心理需求,也是個(gè)頗讓人頭疼的大問題。你進(jìn)入到一個(gè)陌生的中間地帶——不再是個(gè)小孩子但也還算不上是個(gè)成年人。你既對(duì)獨(dú)立充滿新的渴望,又對(duì)父母的愛與支持抱有不斷的需求。你感到自己已經(jīng)為肩負(fù)更多責(zé)任做好了準(zhǔn)備,可以獨(dú)立做決定。遺憾的是,你的父母不總是同意,這使你感到不快樂。你可能會(huì)想:“他們?yōu)槭裁淳筒荒軐?duì)我放手呢 ”另一方面,當(dāng)你努力想控制自己的情感時(shí),你希望他們能更加體貼,更有耐心——有時(shí)候他們忘記了成長是一個(gè)艱難的過程。當(dāng)你的父母把你當(dāng)作孩子來對(duì)待,卻希望你表現(xiàn)得像個(gè)大人時(shí),你的處境就會(huì)很艱難。所有這些都可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致你們的關(guān)系破裂。
　　盡管有時(shí)候一家人似乎根本無法和諧相處,但是你可以采取行動(dòng)改善這一局面。維持和睦關(guān)系的關(guān)鍵是定期、坦誠的溝通。當(dāng)你不同意父母的意見時(shí),花一分鐘時(shí)間冷靜下來,試著從他們的角度來了解狀況。或許他們經(jīng)歷過類似的事情,不想讓你經(jīng)受同樣的痛苦。在你全面考慮之后,冷靜地解釋你的行為和感受,仔細(xì)傾聽,并設(shè)法消除他們的顧慮。通過這種健康的討論,你會(huì)學(xué)會(huì)什么時(shí)候承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤,什么時(shí)候讓父母放松控制。
　　只要記住,無法輕松應(yīng)對(duì)親子關(guān)系緊張帶來的壓力是完全正常的,并且你和父母可以共同努力,改善關(guān)系。好消息是這段暴風(fēng)雨時(shí)期不會(huì)持續(xù)下去。最后一切都會(huì)好起來的。青少年時(shí)期遇到的變化和挑戰(zhàn)會(huì)讓你為成年做好準(zhǔn)備。

This is my son Matthew's last night at home before college.I know that this is good news.I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school.I know that this is his finest hour.But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying.
Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment.“Pull yourself together!” I tell myself.There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones.How dare I feel so shocked and upset
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen.Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons.As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me.After my parents' divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio.By the time Sunday came around, I was unable to enjoy the day's activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now, standing among Matthew's accumulation of possessions, I realise it's me who has become a boy again.All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare.It already has the feel of a guest bed.In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favourite blanket.That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,“Daddy, I don't think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading.I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping.I'll never have to worry about that again, I realise.
For his part, Matthew has been a rock.He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office.And I'm glad.After all, someone's got to be strong.I'm proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.

類文悅讀·情境導(dǎo)學(xué)
這篇文章講述了一位母親在孩子成長過程中的感受和經(jīng)歷。她描述了從孩子?jì)雰簳r(shí)期到成年后的變化,以及她與兩個(gè)兒子之間的難忘時(shí)光。雖然時(shí)間飛逝,但母子間的情感歷久彌新。
　　Life seems long when we’re looking ahead,and so short when we’re looking back.That’s especially true for a mother.One day you’re holding a two-month-old baby,wondering if he’s ever going to stop crying.And the next day you’re seeing him off at college,wondering if he’s ever going to call you.
Where does the time fly I want my children to grow up,but I don’t want to let them go.The grown children can be as much fun as little ones.Here are two examples:
When my father-in-law died,I called my younger son Nate to say I’d drive up to Yosemite,and we’d drive out the next day to attend the funeral①.It was snowing when I stopped in the park.The next morning,Nate and I left early,only to get stuck behind a bus with a flat tyre,blocking the road.We sat for five hours in a blizzard (暴風(fēng)雪) waiting for the road to be cleared.Meanwhile,Nate entertained② me with jokes.I will never forget it.
A few years later,I flew to New York to visit my elder son Josh.That night,Josh began having pain in his right side.We took a cab③ to a hospital and he had an operation.Afterwards,I stayed for a week to take care of him.We watched movies and ate take-out④ meals.I will never forget it.
Being a mother doesn’t end when our children grow up.We still want to protect⑤ them,just as we did the day they were born.And grown children will always need a mother.At the same time,we’ll always need our grown-up⑥ children to make us laugh and keep us young and fill that place in our hearts that only they can fill.

Strangers under the same roof
　　Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything① [1] You are not alone.Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
[1]該句為問題導(dǎo)入,引起讀者的興趣和共鳴,激發(fā)讀者的思考。
[原文呈現(xiàn)]
Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions②. You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate③ to your friends, shooting up in height④ or getting left far behind.[2] You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots.When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger.
[2]該句為復(fù)合句,that引導(dǎo)賓語從句, shooting up in height和getting left far behind是并列的現(xiàn)在分詞短語作狀語,表伴隨。
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too.You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult.You have both a new desire for independence⑤ and a continued need for your parents’ love and support.You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own⑥. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.[3] “Why can’t they just let me go ” you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings⑦,
you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride⑧.It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult.All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship⑨.
[3]該句為and連接的兩個(gè)并列句。第一個(gè)分句中not always為部分否定,意為“并非總是”。
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation⑩.The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication.When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view .Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain.After you have thought it through , explain your actions
and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and address their concerns . Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.[4]
[4]該句為簡單句。 Through this kind of...作狀語,表方式。句中兩個(gè)when to...為“疑問詞+不定式”結(jié)構(gòu),作動(dòng)詞learn 的賓語。
[5]該句為祈使句。remember后接兩個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。第一個(gè)賓語從句的that可以省略, 第二個(gè)賓語從句的that 不可以省略。第一個(gè)賓語從句中that parent-child tensions create為定語從句,修飾前面的the stress。
[6]該句為復(fù)合句。that引導(dǎo)表語從句。
[名師圈點(diǎn)]

同一屋檐下的陌生人
　　是不是你和父母的每一頓飯似乎都會(huì)演變成一場爭執(zhí) 你們?cè)?jīng)暖心坦誠的對(duì)話是否已變得冷漠且謹(jǐn)慎 你是否覺得你已經(jīng)無法在任何事情上與他們達(dá)成一致 你并不是唯一的一個(gè)。激烈的爭論和冷淡的沉默在青少年和他們的父母之間是很常見的。
青少年的身體變化可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致這樣的家庭關(guān)系緊張。你可能會(huì)感到焦慮,因?yàn)槟愕陌l(fā)展速度與朋友不同,身高上升或被甩在后面。你可能會(huì)擔(dān)心自己不斷變化的聲音、體重問題和青春痘。當(dāng)這一切讓你不堪重負(fù)時(shí),父母常常會(huì)成為你發(fā)泄憤怒的首選目標(biāo)。
如何平衡你日益發(fā)展的心理需求,也是個(gè)頗讓人頭疼的大問題。你進(jìn)入到一個(gè)陌生的中間地帶——不再是個(gè)小孩子但也還算不上是個(gè)成年人。你既對(duì)獨(dú)立充滿新的渴望,又對(duì)父母的愛與支持抱有不斷的需求。你感到自己已經(jīng)為肩負(fù)更多責(zé)任做好了準(zhǔn)備,可以獨(dú)立做決定。遺憾的是,你的父母不總是同意,這使你感到不快樂。你可能會(huì)想:“他們?yōu)槭裁淳筒荒軐?duì)我放手呢 ”另一方面,當(dāng)你努力想控制自己的情感時(shí),你希望他們能更加體貼,更有耐心——有時(shí)候他們忘記了成長是一個(gè)艱難的過程。當(dāng)你的父母把你當(dāng)作孩子來對(duì)待,卻希望你表現(xiàn)得像個(gè)大人時(shí),你的處境就會(huì)很艱難。所有這些都可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致你們的關(guān)系破裂。
　　盡管有時(shí)候一家人似乎根本無法和諧相處,但是你可以采取行動(dòng)改善這一局面。維持和睦關(guān)系的關(guān)鍵是定期、坦誠的溝通。當(dāng)你不同意父母的意見時(shí),花一分鐘時(shí)間冷靜下來,試著從他們的角度來了解狀況。或許他們經(jīng)歷過類似的事情,不想讓你經(jīng)受同樣的痛苦。在你全面考慮之后,冷靜地解釋你的行為和感受,仔細(xì)傾聽,并設(shè)法消除他們的顧慮。通過這種健康的討論,你會(huì)學(xué)會(huì)什么時(shí)候承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤,什么時(shí)候讓父母放松控制。
　　只要記住,無法輕松應(yīng)對(duì)親子關(guān)系緊張帶來的壓力是完全正常的,并且你和父母可以共同努力,改善關(guān)系。好消息是這段暴風(fēng)雨時(shí)期不會(huì)持續(xù)下去。最后一切都會(huì)好起來的。青少年時(shí)期遇到的變化和挑戰(zhàn)會(huì)讓你為成年做好準(zhǔn)備。

This is my son Matthew's last night at home before college.I know that this is good news.I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school.I know that this is his finest hour.But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying.
Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment.“Pull yourself together!” I tell myself.There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones.How dare I feel so shocked and upset
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen.Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons.As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me.After my parents' divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio.By the time Sunday came around, I was unable to enjoy the day’s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now, standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realise it’s me who has become a boy again.All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare.It already has the feel of a guest bed.In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favourite blanket.That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,“Daddy, I don’t think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading.I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping.I’ll never have to worry about that again, I realise.
For his part, Matthew has been a rock.He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office.And I’m glad.After all, someone’s got to be strong.I’m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.
