58、, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Currys grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association(NBA), it was along this road that Stephens grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telep
59、hone pole.文本解读本段在介绍主人公之前,先对祖父建造的简易的球篮进行渲染和铺垫,为下文主人公在艰苦环境下取得成功埋下了伏笔。第一句话中的goes“(从)通向,延伸到”,属于熟词生义,小词大意,用词精准、生动。最后一句使用了强调句型,表面上是强调主人公训练条件艰苦,实则是突出主人公坚强的毅力和决心。通往成功之路在弗吉尼亚州的格罗托斯小镇附近,有一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬库里祖父的房子通往附近的树林。这与美国男子职业篮球联赛(NBA)赛场上明亮的灯光和闪亮的球场相去甚远。斯蒂芬的祖父就是沿着这条路,在一根电线杆上绑了一块塑料,造了一个简易的篮筐。Like his father, basket
60、ball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didnt realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined
61、 the road under the basketcaused the ball to bouncein all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasnt easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket.
62、In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.文本解读本段主要介绍斯蒂芬库里在爷爷为他制作的简易篮球场上训练时遇到的困难,及他是如何克服困难、提升篮球投篮技巧的。运用了一些高级表达方式。如:where引导的表语从句,that引导的定语从句,动名词短语Knowing where the ball would go、Shooting with great accuracy及practising day in and day out作主语,过去分词短语aimed at its centre作定
63、语等。另外一些词汇的精准运用,如:probably、creative、flexible、give way、in all directions及day in and day out也值得同学们去模仿、使用。像他的父亲,篮球明星戴尔库里一样,斯蒂芬小时候的许多时光也是在这个泥泞的篮球场上度过的。他当时可能没有意识到这一点,但正是在这里,他学会了作为一名球员的创造力和灵活性。你看,每一次投篮,脆弱的塑料篮板都被击垮了。篮下道路两旁的坑坑洼洼和石块使球向四面八方反弹。知道球要飞到哪里并不容易。因此,他不得不调整自己的打球风格。精准投篮是他学到的另一个技巧。只有那些完全瞄准篮筐中心的投篮才会进入又重又厚
64、的篮筐。就这样,日复一日地练习帮助斯蒂芬提高了他的技能。Despite his fathers successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his fathers footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not gi
65、ve up. He finally ended up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidsons star player.文本解读本段讲了斯蒂芬库里由于身体条件不好,许多人,包括他的队友和教练,认为他不会像他父亲那样成为成功的篮球运动员。但是,库里为了追逐梦想,没有放弃,最终成为戴维森学院的明星球员。本段中despite、but、
66、finally等词的运用使文章逻辑严密,说服力更强。另外,短语follow in ones footsteps、carry on、end up doing和词汇little-known、creativity、perseverance的运用以及where引导的宾语从句,以及最后一句使用了“主语+谓语+宾语+宾补(名词)”结构,都值得同学们去模仿和学习。尽管他父亲的职业生涯很成功,但很多人,包括他的高中队友和教练,都认为斯蒂芬太矮、太瘦、太虚弱,无法追随父亲的脚步。但是斯蒂芬坚持了下来。打篮球是他的梦想。他不会放弃。最终,他去了离家不远的戴维森学院去打球,那是一个规模小、不出名的学校。他的创造力和
67、毅力使他成为戴维森学院的明星球员。Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyones expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.文本解读本
68、段介绍了库里加盟金州勇士队,赢得了他第一个NBA总冠军,并带领勇士队自1975年以来首度夺冠。使用了过去分词短语Selected for the NBA in 2009作状语,介词短语with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts表示原因,使表达更简洁、地道。beyond everyones expectations的运用凸显了库里艰苦的付出和他的毅力。2009年,斯蒂芬入选NBA,加入金州勇士队。他准确的投篮和不断的努力让他的表现超出了所有人的预期。2015年,斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军,他带领勇士队获得了自1975年以来的第一个总
69、冠军。After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy,“I never really set out to change the game.What I wanted to do was just be myself. I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the
70、skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better.Youve got to be able to put in the time and the work. Thats how I got here. Thats how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other peop
71、le think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible.文本解读本段主要通过库里本人说的一些话,讲述了他的人生哲学。这样更有说服力,更能起到鼓舞、激励青年人的作用。文末最后一句总结库里取得成功的原因,起到了概括全文的作用。本段中,主语从句What I wanted to do,how引导的表语从句, w
72、ho引导的定语从句,the fact和living proof后的两个同位语从句,特别是第二个同位语从句中包含了两个what引导的主语从句和宾语从句,这些主从复合句的运用都彰显了作者扎实的语言功底,同学们可以赏析和模仿。在连续两年获得“最有价值球员”奖后,斯蒂芬阐述了他的人生哲学:“我从未真正想过要改变比赛我只想做我自己我知道它激励了很多下一代人,激励了很多热爱篮球运动的人去重视它的技巧,重视这样一个事实:你可以每天都努力变得更好。你必须能够投入时间和精力。我就是这样做的。这就是我每天都在进步的原因。”激励别人,相信自己,斯蒂芬库里就是一个活生生的例子,别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么样
