chapter 15 - 词典大楼 Cídiǎn dàlóu

核心
Héxīn


词典大楼真的很大,
每层都住着好多人家。
我常常上门去请教,
总是能得到满意的回答。


Cídiǎn dàlóu zhēn de hěn dà,
měi céng dōu zhùzhe hǎoduō rénjiā.
Wǒ chángcháng shàngmén qù qǐngjiào,
Zǒng shì néng dédào mǎnyì de huídá.


有一次,
我看到一则广告,
遇到一个生字“铁”。
我按照“门牌”找到它的页码,
啊,原来我们用的剪刀里就是它。


Yǒu yícì,
wǒ kàn dào yì zé guǎnggào,
yù dào yígè shēngzì “tiě”.
Wǒ ànzhào “ménpái” zhǎodào tā de yèmǎ,
A, yuánlái wǒmen yòng de jiǎndāo li jiùshì tā.


有一次,
我写儿童诗,
忘了“装”和“载”怎么写。
我急忙去拜访词
典大楼,
它耐心地告诉了我笔画。。。


Yǒu yícì,
wǒ xiě értóng shī,
wàngle “zhuāng” hé “zài” zěnme xiě.
Wǒ jímáng qù bàifǎng cídiǎn dàlóu,
Tā nàixīn de gàosu le wǒ bǐhuà. . .


电子词典更加超出了我的想象,
阅读时不管有什么困难,
只要轻轻按几下,
它马上就能给你例子和答案。

Diànzǐ cídiǎn gèngjiā chāochūle wǒ de xiǎngxiàng,
yuèdú shí bùguǎn yǒu shé me kùnnán,
zhǐyào qīng qīng àn jǐ xià,
Tā mǎshàng jiù néng gěi nǐ lìzi hé dá'àn.


有一次,
我看到“衣服”和“服药”,
这两个“服”的意思相同吗?
我拿起电子词典查一查,
啊,原来“服”字有这么多用法!


Yǒu yícì,
wǒ kàn dào “yīfú” hé “fúyào”,
Zhè liǎng gè “fú” de yìsi xiāngtóng ma?
Wǒ ná qǐ diànzǐ cídiǎn chá yi chá,
A, yuánlái “fú” zì yǒu zhème duō yòngfǎ!


还有一次,
抄写一篇文章时,
我对“年少”这个词有了疑问:
“少”到底应该怎么读?
我又在词典里找到了解答。

Hái yǒu yícì,
chāoxiě yì piān wénzhāng shí,
wǒ duì “niánshào” zhège cí yǒule yíwèn:
“Shǎo” dàodǐ yīnggāi zěnme dú?
Wǒ yòu zài cídiǎn li zhǎo dào le jiědá.


词典大楼收藏了好多宝藏,
想提高成绩真的离不开它。
我们要养成勤学好问的习惯,
经常去词典大楼里拜访专家。


Cídiǎn dàlóu shōucángle hǎoduō bǎozàng,
xiǎng tígāo chéngjī zhēn de lì bù kāi tā.
Wǒmen yào yǎngchéng qín xué hào wèn de xíguàn,
jīngcháng qù cídiǎn dàlóu li bàifǎng zhuānjiā.

chapter 3 - 倾斜的伞 - Qīngxié de sǎn

核心
Héxīn


小时候,我喜欢下雨,喜欢踩着路面的积水,走在雨中。
Xiǎoshíhou, wǒ xǐhuan xià yǔ, xǐhuan cǎizhe lùmiàn de jīshuǐ, zǒu zài yǔzhōng.
每逢下雨的时候,外公便会打着那把蓝色的大伞,
Měi féng xià yǔ de shíhou, wàigōng biàn huì dǎzhe nà bǎ lánsè de dà sǎn,
站在校门口向我招手。我迅速地钻进伞下,和外公一起走进雨的世界。
Zhàn zài xiào ménkǒu xiàng wǒ zhāoshǒu. Wǒ xùnsù de zuān jìn sǎnxià,
hé wàigōng yīqǐ zǒu jìn yǔ de shìjiè.


一次,外公来接我时,正下着倾盆大雨,天气很冷。
Yícì, wàigōng lái jiē wǒ shí, zhèng xiàzhe qīngpén dàyǔ,

“外公,伞歪了“
“Wàigōng, sǎn wāile “

我感到奇怪,说“明明是歪向我这边的“
Wǒ gǎndào qíguài, shuō “míngmíng shì wāi xiàng wǒ zhè biān de “




外公听了,笑而不语。回到家里,
我发现外公半边衣服都湿透了,
脸色苍白,
冻得全身发抖。
Wàigōng tīngle, xiào ér bù yǔ. Huí dào jiāli,
wǒ fāxiàn wàigōng bànbiān yīfú dōu shī tòule,
liǎnsè cāngbái, dòng de quánshēn fādǒu.


外公,快换件衣服吧
Wàigōng, kuài huàn jiàn yīfú ba
你没被淋湿吧?外公问
Nǐ méi bèi lín shī ba? Wàigōng wèn
没有啊! 那把大伞把我整个遮住了。
Méiyǒu a! Nà bǎ dà sǎn bǎ wǒ zhěnggè zhē zhùle.
我扑到外公的怀里,外公开心地笑了起来
Wǒ pū dào wàigōng de huái li, wài gōngkāi xīndì xiàole qǐlái


就这样,每次我们从雨中回来,
外公的衣服总是一半干一半湿。
Jiù zhèyàng, měi cì wǒmen cóng yǔzhōng huílái, wàigōng de yīfú zǒng shì ì yíbàn gàn yíbàn shī.
仍然是雨的世界,仍然是我和外公,

仍然是蓝色的大伞为我们遮风挡雨。
Réngrán shì lánsè de dà sǎn wèi wǒmen zhē fēngdǎng yǔ.
不知不觉地,撑伞的人已经变成了我。
Bùzhī bù jué de, chēng sǎn de rén yǐjīng biànchéngle wǒ.


外公对我说: 小松,伞歪了
Wàigōng duì wǒ shuō: Xiǎosōng, sǎn wāile
没歪呀。 我微笑着回答。 回到家里,
我接过外公给我的毛巾,
Méi wāi ya. Wǒ wéixiàozhe huídá. Huí dào jiāli, 
wǒ jiēguò wàigōng gěi wǒ de máojīn,
看见外公嘴唇微微颤动,双眼闪着泪光。
Kànjiàn wàigōng zuǐchún wéiwéi chàndòng, 
shuāng yǎn shǎnzhe lèi guāng.


那是一把倾斜的伞,一把充满无限温情的伞。
这把伞给我增添了许多美好的回忆,
Nà shì yī bǎ qīngxié de sǎn, yī bǎ chōngmǎn wúxiàn wēnqíng de sǎn.
Zhè bǎ sǎn gěi wǒ zēngtiānle xǔduō měihǎo de huíyì,
我会永远珍惜它,爱护它。

    chapter 2 - 背向河口的萊佛市塑像 - Bèi xiàng hékǒu de lái fú shì sùxiàng

    自读课文
    Zì dú kèwén


    史丹福,莱佛士登陆新加坡是一个重要的历史事件。在新加坡,我们可以看到两座莱佛士塑像。
    一座白色的塑像在他登陆的地方,另一座黑色的塑像则在维多利亚纪念堂前面。
    莱佛士最初是在哪里上岸的?纪念他登陆的塑像为什么背向河口?
    下面这篇课文将为我们解答两个问题。


    Shǐdānfú, lái fó shì dēnglù xīnjiāpō shì yígè zhòngyào de lìshǐ shìjiàn. Zài xīnjiāpō, wǒmen kěyǐ kàn dào liǎng zuò lái fó shì sùxiàng.

    Xiàmiàn zhè piān kèwén jiāng wèi wǒmen jiědá liǎng gè wèntí.


    白色的莱佛士塑像坐落在新加坡的河口,
    它每年都吸引许多游客前往参观,
    是新加坡著名的景点。一些游客参观后可能会觉得奇怪:
    一般名人的塑像总是面水而建,莱佛士的塑像为什么是背对河口呢?
    这得从新加坡旅游局所做的一项研究说起。

    Báisè de lái fó shì sùxiàng zuòluò zài xīnjiāpō de hékǒu, tā měinián dōu xīyǐn xǔduō yóukè qiánwǎng cānguān, shì xīnjiāpō zhùmíng de jǐngdiǎn. Yìxiē yóukè cānguān hòu kěnéng huì juéde qíguài:

    Zhè děi cóng xīnjiāpō lǚyóu jú suǒzuò de yí xiàng yánjiū shuō qǐ.
    [taiwan = 研究yánjiù]



    政府为了纪念史丹福,莱佛士1819年登陆新加坡,
    准备在他登陆的地方建一座塑
    像。
    从1917年年初开始,旅游局便组织专家探查莱佛士当年登陆新加坡的确切点。
    经过近一年的研究,旅游局在1917年11月3日宣布:

    Zhèngfǔ wèile jìniàn shǐdānfú, lái fó shì 1819 nián dēnglù xīnjiāpō, zhǔnbèi zài tā dēnglù de dìfāng jiàn yízuò sùxiàng.Cóng 1917 nián
    niánchū kāishǐ, lǚyóu jú biàn zǔzhī zhuānjiā tànchá lái fó shì dāngnián dēnglù xīnjiāpō dí què qiē diǎn.
    Jīngguò jìn yì nián de yánjiū, lǚyóu jú zài 1917 nián 11 yuè 3 rì xuānbù:


    新加坡河口附近,维多利亚纪念堂与旧国会大厦面的河边,是莱佛士当年踏上新加坡土地的地方。因为当时管治新加坡的天猛公的住所就在旧国会大厦原址,莱佛士要去拜会他,因此在那里登岸。


    Xīnjiāpō hékǒu fùjìn, wéiduōlìyǎ jìniàn táng yǔ jiù guóhuì dàshà miàn de hé biān, shì lái fó shì dāngnián tà shàng xīnjiāpō tǔdì de dìfāng. Yīnwèi dāngshí guǎn zhì xīnjiāpō de tiān měng gōng de zhùsuǒ jiù zài jiù guóhuì dàshà yuánzhǐ, lái fó shì yào qù bàihuì tā, yīncǐ zài nàlǐ dēng àn.


    旅游局随后在那里建了一个小公园,并竖立了一座莱佛士的塑像。塑像面朝陆地,背对河口。
    这表示莱佛士是登岸,而不是离开。了解了这一点,大家就不难明白,莱佛士的塑像为什么是背对河口了。

    Lǚyóu jú suíhòu zài nàlǐ jiànle yígè xiǎo gōngyuán, bìng shùlìle yízuò lái fó shì de sùxiàng. Sùxiàng miàn cháo lùdì, bèi duì hékǒu. Zhè biǎoshì lái fó shì shì dēng àn, ér búshì líkāi. Liǎojiěle zhè yìdiǎn, dàjiā jiù bù nán míngbái, lái fó shì de sùxiàng wèishéme shì bèi duì hékǒule.
