　　課文主要語言點(diǎn)
　　During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. 1)bullfight，斗牛。注意bull與ox的區(qū)別：ox一般是指閹割過的公牛，主要是肉牛或是干活的牛。所以，一般機(jī)構(gòu)或組織名不會(huì)用ox的，這也就是為什么芝加哥公牛隊(duì)叫做Chicago Bulls，而不叫Chicago Oxen的原因了。 2)drunk，醉漢。 3)wander，徘徊、溜達(dá)。 4)ring，圓形競技場。
　　The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. 1)crowd，人群。crowd也可以用作表量的名詞，如：a crowd of people。 2)be unaware of，沒有意識(shí)到。unaware源自aware(意識(shí)到的)。 3)danger，危險(xiǎn)。其形容詞為dangerous(危險(xiǎn)的)。其名詞的常見短語用法為：be in danger。
　　The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. 1)be busy with sb.，忙著應(yīng)對(duì)某人。 2)matador，斗牛士。 3)catch sight of，突然看到。 4)shout rude remarks，破口大罵、爆粗口。 5)注意cap(無邊的鴨舌帽)與hat(有邊的禮帽)的區(qū)別。
　　Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. 1)apparently，明顯地。源自形容詞apparent。 2)be sensitive to，對(duì)...敏感。 3)criticism，批評(píng)。其動(dòng)詞為criticize(批判)，形容詞為critical(挑剔的)。 4)forget all about，徹底忘了。 5)charge at，朝...沖過去。
　　The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. 1)grew quiet，變得安靜下來。此處的grow是變化系動(dòng)詞，表示“變得”，所以可以后接形容詞。 2)be sure of oneself，對(duì)自己很有把握。
　　When the bull got close to him he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. 1)get close to，靠近。 2)clumsily，笨拙地。 3)step aside，往旁邊一閃。 4)let...pass，放過。
　　The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. 1)break into，突然發(fā)出、突然...起來。break into cheers，突然喝起彩來。 2)bow，彎腰、鞠躬。注意該詞的發(fā)音為 [baʊ] ，用作動(dòng)詞;當(dāng)用作名詞時(shí)，其發(fā)音為 [bəʊ] ，表示弓。
　　By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. 1)by this time，到這時(shí)為止。這是完成時(shí)的標(biāo)志，所以后面的謂語動(dòng)詞采用了過去完成時(shí)形式的had come。 2)drag，拖拽、拖拉。 3)safety，安全地帶。源自形容詞safe(安全的)。
　　Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador. 1)seem to do，似乎、好像。 2)feel sorry for sb.，為某人感到難過。 3)sympathetically，同情地。源自名詞sympathy(同情)，其形容詞為sympathetic(同情的)。 4)be out of the way，不礙事、不擋路。 5)turn one"s attention to，轉(zhuǎn)移注意力到...。
