第二部分 TEXT

‘To end our special news bulletin,'said the voice of the television announcer,‘we're going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs ante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Sign or Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April 1st. We're now going back to the studio.'

參考譯文

"作爲我們專題新聞節目的結尾，"電視廣播員說，"我們現在到克拉布利亞的通心粉田裏。通心粉在這個地區已經種植了600多年了。兩個主要種植者，朱塞皮·莫爾道瓦和裏卡多·布拉班特告訴我，他們一直期待着今年獲得一個大豐收，收割工作比往年開始得要早些。這裏您可以看到兩個工人，他們協力割下了3車金黃色的通心粉秸。全村的人都日夜奮戰，要趕在9月的雨季之前把今年的莊稼收穫上來，打完場。在屏幕的右側，您可以看到布拉班特太太本人，她已經幫了她的丈夫30年了。布拉班特太太現在正和負責通心粉加工的當地加工廠的經理交談。這最後一個鏡頭向您展示了收獲之後將發生的事情：著名的克拉布利亞人吃通心粉大賽！目前的冠軍弗拉特里先生，自1991年以來，年年獲勝。今天-4月1日，星期四-的專題新聞節目到此結束。現在我們回到電視演播室。"

第三部分 LANGUAGE POINTS

1．'re going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria.
go over表示"往......走過去"，暗示中間原有一段距離
field:指"（一塊）田"、"塊"，爲可數名詞，常用複數
 Ex:
Many people are busy harvesting in the rice fields.

macaroni指"通心粉"，是加工過的麪粉。它不可能像wheat, rice一樣長在田裏，不該與fields連用，但由於是愚弄人的玩笑，所以這篇文章通篇都是以通心粉長在地裏爲前提進行的描述。由於macaroni是意大利語，很可能有人會以爲是某種沒聽說過的新的糧食品種。

2、Two of the leading growers...
leading:表示某個人/事情處於最重要的/最負責任的位置;表電視/電影中的主角
 Ex:
A demand for change came from leading politicians...
some of the leading women's organization...

3、Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three
cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks.
between them:兩者共享/共有...;between作介詞時含義之一是"作爲......共同努力的結果"、"協力"；

4、The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. 
rains:雨季;當rain指"雨季"、"季節性的雨"，尤其是熱帶地區的雨季時，要用複數形式

5、This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest.
at the end of:在...的結束
 Ex
at the end of August
one afternoon near the end of my stay

第四部分 KEY STRUCTURES AND USAGE

 課文中的現在完成時&現在完成進行時

現在完成時：它表示的動作到現在爲止已經完成了，但對現在仍然有影響
=>Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years.
=>Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual.
=>ere you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks.
=>Sign or Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991.

現在完成進行時：表示動作在過去某一個時間發生，但是現在仍然在繼續
=>Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. 
=>The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. 
=>She has been helping her husband for thirty years now.

=>I have been reading Shakespeare's works since the beginning of this term.
=>I have read The Twelfth Night and King Lear.

有的時候，現在完成進行時也可以表示剛剛結束的動作，這時和現在完成時的區別在於：現在完成時強調動作的結果，而現在完成進行時強調動作在不久以前繼續進行的情況，並且帶有比較強的感情色彩
=>This afternoon, I have played basketball for an hour.
=>I have been playing basketball since 4 this afternoon. I feel tired now.
