「读书笔记」
俄罗斯方块最早出现在黑白的(black-and-white)俄文计算机上,没有声音也没有图形。(with no sound or graphics)
俄罗斯方块发明四年后(Four years later Tetris was created)在美国和西欧上市。(it went on sale in America and Western Europe)它立即引起了轰动。(It was an instant hit)
形容词instant意思是立即的,即刻的,比如:The telegram asked for an instant reply.(这封电报要求立即回复。)hit这里指成功而风行一时的事物,比如:The new play is the hit of the season.(这出新戏是本季最叫座的。)把它们和在一起an instant hit就可以理解为立即轰动一时。
然后,俄罗斯方块被做成了任天堂广受欢迎的掌上电子游戏机。(Tetris was then made for Nintendos popular Game Boy.)这些成功带来了创新,(These successes led to new)游戏有了2D版,甚至3D版。(2D and even 3D versions of the game)
led是lead的过去式,本意是领导、引导,在这里led to指导致,比如:Smoking can lead to lung cancer.(抽烟可能导致肺癌。)此外,lead to还有通向的意思,比如:I suggest she take that path leading to the temple . (我建议她走通向寺院的那条路。)
如今,大家仍在玩着这个游戏。(Now, people are still playing it.)
为什么俄罗斯方块会如此成功?(Why has Tetris been so successful)在游戏中,(In the game)玩的人必须把随意给出的模块排放整齐。(players must sort out a random pattern of blocks)也许这个游戏满足了人们建立秩序的欲望。(Perhaps the game satisfies humans need to create order)
satisfy是动词使满意,使高兴;使满足的意思,A满足B的需要,就是A satisfy Bs need.英语的网络教师一向以这句话为工作的原则:Teachers should try to satisfy students needs.(教师应该尽力满足学生的需要。)另外,satisfy也可以换成另外一个词fill,fill ones need 与satisfy ones need 意思完全相同。比如:His generous donation filled our need for additional funds.(他的慷慨捐赠满足了我们对额外资金的需求。)
不管它广受欢迎的理由是什么,(Whatever the reason for its popularity)俄罗斯方块就是好玩,(that Tetris is just plain fun)这是不言而喻的。(its obvious)
