山东 陈树梅（编）

◆语篇导读

当在39度的高温酷暑下看到免费的冷饮，你会不会立即冲上前去?杭州市西湖区文三路上出现的无人看管的“爱心冰柜”不仅仅没有被“抢”空，反而还多了一些东西。通过这个免费冰柜，我们看到了人间的温暖，也见证了公民素质的提高！

These days，the Love Freezers appear on Wensan Road in Xihu，Hangzhou.These freezers provide cold drinks only for the people working in the sun，such aspostmen，cleaners，and traffic policemen.

How will you feel about it first when you walk on the road and see the word“free”?I think that most people mustrush tothe freezer filled with icy drinks，especiallyin the heat of39 degrees.But something from the videotape makes us surprised.

Picture 1:Two guys with basketball came by，theytook outtwo bottles of water as soon as seeing the word “free”.But when they knew the waterwas ready forthe people working in the sun，they took out all their change and put it in the fridge toshow their apologies and respects.

Picture 2:A beautiful girl also wanted to enjoy the“free”，but she put it back when she knew it wasn't for her.

Picture 3:To our surprise，an old grandpa walked by，when he read the words on the fridge，he put some apples into the box at once.Because of these warm-hearted people，the foods and drinks there get more and more.

What's more，most people were moved by a letter from a boy.He wrote that his father was a postman；hewas very thankful tothe aunts and uncles for their water...

All these warmth can make everyone feel happy and cool though it is so hot.Let's believe our world willget warmer and warmerin the future because there are so many friendly people around us.

◆典句赏析

1.I think that most people must rush to the freezer filled with icy drinks，especially in the heat of 39 degrees.我认为大多数人一定会冲向装满冷饮的冰柜，尤其是在39度的高温下。

这是一个含that引导的宾语从句的复合句。fill with是固定词组，意为“装满”，以过去分词的形式作定语，表示被动含义，可与full of转换。常用的结构还有be filled with（被……装满）与be full of（满是……）是同义短语。

2.To our surprise，an old grandpa walked by，when he read the words on the fridge，he put some apples into the box at once.令我们吃惊的是，一位老爷爷走过，当他看到冰柜上的字的时候，立刻往里面放了一些苹果。

这是一个复合句，连词when引导的是时间状语从句；to our surprise是固定词组，意为“令我们吃惊的是”。由surprise构成的常见短语还有in surprise（吃惊地）、be surprised at（对……感到吃惊）与be amazed at是同义短语；walk by是固定短语，意为“路过；走过”。

3.What's more，most people were moved by a letter from a boy.更重要的是，大多数人都被一个小男孩写的信所感动了。

what's more是固定结构，意为“更重要的是”；be moved by是固定结构，意为“被……所感动”，属于被动语态形式；from a boy意为“来自一个男孩”，在句中作a letter的后置定语。
