新概念英语第三册23Lesson 23 One man s meat is another man s poison各有所爱一、【Text】课文People become quite illogical when they try to decide what canbe eaten and what cannot be eaten.If you lived in theMediterranean,for instance,you would consider octopus a greatdelicacy.You would not be able to understand why some peoplefind it repulsive.On the other hand,your stomach would turnat the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat-the normallyaccepted practice in many northern countries.The sad truth isthat most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods andwe stick to them all our lives.No creature has received more praise and abuse than the commongarden snail.Cooked in wine,snails are a great luxury invarious parts of the world.There are countless people who,eversince their early years,have learned to associate snails withfood.My friend,Robert,lives in a country where snails aredespised.As his flat is in a large town,he has no garden ofhis own.For years he has been asking me to collect snails frommy garden and take them to him.The idea never appealed to mevery much,but one day,after a heavy shower,I happened to bewalking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snailstaking a stroll on some of my prize plants.Acting on a suddenimpulse,I collected several dozen,put them in a paper bag,and took them to Robert.Robert was delighted to see me andequally pleased with my little gift.I left the bag in the halland Robert and I went into the living room where we talked fora couple of hours.I had forgotten all about the snails whenRobert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner.Snails would,of course,be the main dish.I did not fancy the idea and Ireluctantly fol lowed Robert out of the room.To our dismay,wesaw that there were snails everywhere:they had escaped fromthe paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall!I have never been able to look at a snail since then.二、New words and expressions 生词和短语poison n.毒药 illogical adj.不合逻辑的，无章法的 octopus n.章鱼 delicacy n.美味，佳肴 repulsive adj.令人反感的，令人生厌的 stomach n.胃 turn v.感到恶心，翻胃 fry v.油炸 f a t n.（动物、植物）油 a b u s e n,辱骂，责骂 s n a il n.蜗牛 l u x u ry n.奢侈品，珍品 a s s o c ia t e v.联想到 d e s pis e v.鄙视 a ppe a l v.引起兴致 s h o w e r n.阵雨 s t ro l l n.溜达，散步 im pu l s e n.冲动 d o z e n n.1 2 个，一打 f a n c y v.喜爱，喜欢 po is o n n.毒药po is o n n.&v t.He w a s po is o n e d b y pe s t ic id e.give poison to sb/give poison to sth.使某人或某事中毒hate each other like poison 彼此互相恨透name one s poisonName your poison,please.说出你要喝点什么酒啊。What s your poison?你要喝什么酒？illogical adj.不合逻辑的，无章法的 octopus n.章鱼 delicacy n.美味，佳肴Eg.:He considered chicken to be a great delicacy.delicate adj.美味的，可口的，清淡的delicious adj.味道美的 repulsive adj.令人反感的，令人生厌的d is gu s t in g a d j.Th e d is h is re pu l s iv e.s t o m a c h n.胃 t u rn v.感到恶心，翻胃 f ry v.油炸f ry v.:b e c o o ke d in h o t o ilf rie d e g g煎鸡蛋f rie d b re a df rin g pa n 煎锅f ry up加热F ry u p t h e f o o d,pl e a s e.f ry in o n e s o w n f a t 自作自受h a v e o t h e r f is h t o f r y另有要事要做E g:He l l o,Lu c y,l e t s go h a v e d in n e r.Th a t s go o d id e a,b u t I h a v e o t h e r f is h t o f ry.Th a n k y o uv e rym u c h.f a t n.（动物、植物）油pu t o n f a t 长胖，发胖f a t a d j.胖的运用此a d j.时常很不礼貌，因此用l a rge,h e a v y,o v e rw e igh t 替代。a b u s e n.辱骂，责骂D o n t a b u s e y o u r a u t h o rit y.He gre e t e d h is w if e w it h a s t re a m o f a b u s e.他骂妻子的声音不绝于耳。s n a il n.蜗牛 l u x u ry n.奢侈品，珍品Th e d ia m o n d rin g is a l u x u ry t o m e.l u x u rio u s a d j.奢侈的，奢华的a l u x u rio u s h o t e l a s s o c ia t e v.联想到a s s o c ia t e v.c o n n e c t in o n e s m in dA w it h B 把.跟.联想到一起=c o n n e c t w it h.E g:I can t a s s o c ia t e y o u w it h y o u r w if e.Ca n y o u a s s o c ia t e s n a il s w it h d e l ic io u s f o o d.a s s o c ia t e w it h =c o n n e c t w it h=l in k w it h =b e b o u n d u p w it h d e s pis e v.鄙视d e s pis e v t.re ga rd a s w o rt h l e s sE g.:We d e s pis e h im f o r a c o w a rd.我们把他看作一个懦夫。l o o k d o w n u po n鄙视，瞧不起E g:D o n t l o o k d o w n u po n a n y o n e.a ppe a l v.引起兴致appeal to s b引起某人兴趣Eg:Eating snails never appeals to me.appeal上诉，呼吁appeal for sth.为某事而上诉 shower n.阵雨 stroll n.溜达，散步stroll n.slow walking for pleasure in street or in garden.go for a stroll;take a stroll;=go for a walk;take a walkstroller散步的人stroll vi.He is strolling along the road.ramble 海岸，林中的漫步The couple are irambling in the forest.roam 不安定的漂泊，徘徊The tramp roams every day.w a n d e r流浪，徘徊He h a s n o t h in g t o d o,s o h e is w a n d e rin g a l o n g t h e s t re e t.im pu l s e n.冲动im pu l s e :a s u d d e n w is h t o d o s t h.o n im pu l s e冲动的He ru s h e d o u t t o c a t c h u p(w it h)t h e l a d y o n im pu l s e.b e d riv e n b y im pu l s e t o d o s t h.情不自禁的做某事Wh y d id y o u d o it?I s h o u l d s a y I w a s d riv e n b y im pu l s e t o d o it l ike t h is.im pu l s iv e a d j.冲动的im pu l s iv e l y a d v.冲动地 d o z e n n.1 2 个，一打d o z e n:a gro u p o f t w e l v eb y t h e d o z e n 成打的dozens of 许多的two dozen eggs,a dozen roses.（其用法和 hundred,thousand 一样）
