大学体验英语原文

The neighborhood children my age played together: either active, physical games outdoors or games of dolls- and-house indoors. I, on the other hand, spent much of my childhood alone. I'd curl up in a chair reading fairytales and myths, daydreaming, writing poems or stories and drawing pictures.

和我同龄的邻里孩子们一起玩：要么在户外进行体育活动，要么在室内玩玩偶和房子。一、 另一方面，我的童年大部分时间是独自度过的。我会蜷缩在椅子上读童话和神话，做白日梦，写诗歌或故事，画画。

Sometimes around the fourth grade, my“big”(often critical, judgmental) Grandma, who'd been visiting us said to me,“"What's wrong with you? Why don't the other children want to play with you?" I remember being startled and confused by her question.

有时在四年级的时候，我的“大”奶奶（经常是挑剔的、挑剔的）来看望我们，她对我说：“你怎么了？为什么其他孩子不想和你一起玩呢？”我记得被她的问题吓了一跳，弄糊涂了。

I'd never been particularly interested in playing with the other children. It hadn't, till then, occurred to me that that was either odd or something with me. Nor had it occurred to me that they didn't“want to play with" me. My first conscious memory of feeling different was in the fouth grade.

我从来没有对和其他孩子一起玩特别感兴趣。直到那时，我才意识到这对我来说不是奇怪就是什么。我也没想到他们不“想和”我玩。我第一次有意识的感觉不同是在四年级。

At the wardrobe, listening to classmates joking, chattering and laughing with each other, I realized I hadn't a clue about what was so funny or of how to participate in their easy chatter. They seemed to live in a universe about which I knew nothing at all.

在衣橱里，听着同学们互相开玩笑、聊天、大笑，我意识到我一点也不知道什么是如此有趣，也不知道如何参与他们轻松的聊天。他们似乎生活在一个我一无所知的宇宙里。

I tried to act like others but it was so difficult. I felt confused and disoriented. I turned back to my inner world: reading books, writing and daydreaming. My inwardness grew me in ways that continued to move me further away from the world of my age peers. The easy flow of casual social chat has remained forever beyond my reach and beyond my interest, too.

我试图表现得像别人一样，但那太难了。我感到困惑和迷失。我回到了我的内心世界：读书、写作和白日梦。我内心的成长使我不断远离同龄人的世界。轻松随意的社交聊天永远超出了我的能力范围，也超出了我的兴趣范围。

这部分内容主要考察的是定语的知识点：

用来修饰、限定、说明名词或代词的品质与特征的。 主要有形容词，此外还有名词、代词、数词、介词短语、动词不定式（短语）、分词、定语从句等相当于形容词的词、短语或句子都可以作定语。

常用‘……的’表示，定语的位置一般有两种：用在所修饰词之前的叫前置定语，用在所修饰词之后的叫后置定语，定语和中心语之间是修饰和被修饰、限制和被限制的关系。

一般不定代词、形容词、名词、数词、量词、形容性代词、冠词等作为前置定语，而过去分词、不定式、形容词短语、介词短语、定语从句、同位语从句等一般作为后置定语。

在英语里，一般定语前置时的次序为：限定词，形容词、分词、动名词和名词性定语。但当几个形容词同时出现在名词短语之前，我们要注意其次序。

little,old 和young 有时可以作为名词短语不可分割的一部分，所以可以直接放在名词之前，例如：a lovely little girl。

表示性格特征的形容词可以放在old young 之前，也可放在old young 之后，例如：a young ambitious man （强调年龄），an ambitious young man（强调雄心勃勃）。
