　　课文主要语言点
　　During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. 1)bullfight，斗牛。注意bull与ox的区别：ox一般是指阉割过的公牛，主要是肉牛或是干活的牛。所以，一般机构或组织名不会用ox的，这也就是为什么芝加哥公牛队叫做Chicago Bulls，而不叫Chicago Oxen的原因了。 2)drunk，醉汉。 3)wander，徘徊、溜达。 4)ring，圆形竞技场。
　　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词，如：a crowd of people。 2)be unaware of，没有意识到。unaware源自aware(意识到的)。 3)danger，危险。其形容词为dangerous(危险的)。其名词的常见短语用法为：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.，忙着应对某人。 2)matador，斗牛士。 3)catch sight of，突然看到。 4)shout rude remarks，破口大骂、爆粗口。 5)注意cap(无边的鸭舌帽)与hat(有边的礼帽)的区别。
　　Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. 1)apparently，明显地。源自形容词apparent。 2)be sensitive to，对...敏感。 3)criticism，批评。其动词为criticize(批判)，形容词为critical(挑剔的)。 4)forget all about，彻底忘了。 5)charge at，朝...冲过去。
　　The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. 1)grew quiet，变得安静下来。此处的grow是变化系动词，表示“变得”，所以可以后接形容词。 2)be sure of oneself，对本身很有把握。
　　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，往旁边一闪。 4)let...pass，放过。
　　The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. 1)break into，突然发出、突然...起来。break into cheers，突然喝起彩来。 2)bow，弯腰、鞠躬。注意该词的发音为 [baʊ] ，用作动词;当用作名词时，其发音为 [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，到这时为止。这是完成时的标识表记标帜，所以后面的谓语动词采用了过去完成时形式的had come。 2)drag，拖拽、拖拉。 3)safety，安全地带。源自形容词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.，为某人感到难过。 3)sympathetically，同情地。源自名词sympathy(同情)，其形容词为sympathetic(同情的)。 4)be out of the way，不碍事、不挡路。 5)turn one"s attention to，转移注意力到...。
