真题再现
Let’s imagine that you live in a small home with a wireless security setup that offers a functional anti-jamming system. First, a thief is going to need to target your home, specifically. Then, he’s going to need to know the technical details of your system and acquire the specific equipment necessary for jamming your specific setup.
Presumably, you keep your doors locked at night and while you’re away. So the thief will still need to break in. That means defeating the lock somehow, or breaking a window. He’ll need to be jamming you at this point, as a broken window or opened door would normally release the alarm. So, too, would the motion detectors in your home, so the thief will need to continue jamming once he’s inside and searching for things to steal.

让我们想象一下,你住在一个小房子里,房子配备着一个具备防干扰功能的系统。首先,窃贼需要明确的把你家定为盗窃目标。然后,他需要知道你家系统的技术细节,从而取得干扰这个系统的特定设备。
大概你会在夜晚和外出时锁上门,所以窃贼仍然需要闯入。这就意味着无论如何都要撬锁或者破窗而入。这时他就需要干扰系统,因为砸窗户或者破门而入势必引发警报。因此,窃贼在进入你家,寻找东西偷的时候,仍然需要继续干扰系统。

重难点解析
1. Let's/ imagine /that you live in /a small home /with a wireless security setup /that offers /a functional anti-jamming system.
让我们想象一下,你住在一个小房子里,房子配备着一个具备防干扰功能的系统。
解析:
(1) image that后面引导一个宾语从句。
(2) a wireless security setup that 后引导一个定语从句。
(3)Let's 和let us 并不完全相同
let's 中的us包括对方; 若不包括对方,则用Let us.
例:
Let us know the time of your arrival .
告诉我们你到达的时间。(us不包括对方)
Let's try again.
咱们再试一下吧!(包括对方)
因此,反意疑问句时let's ……shall we (we包括对方)
而let us ……will you(由于us不包括对方,因此反意疑问句用you )
2. First, a thief/ is going to /need to/ target your home, / specifically. Then,/he’s going to /need to /know the technical details /of your system /and /acquire the specific equipment/ necessary for /jamming/ your specific setup.
首先,窃贼需要明确的把你家定为盗窃目标。然后,他需要知道你家系统的技术细节,从而取得干扰这个系统的特定设备。
解析:
be going to 是一种固定结构,它后面要接动词原形。
含有be going to 结构的句子中往往有表示将来的时间状语,如:tomorrow, next week等。
(1) 用来表示按计划或安排要发生的动作,有“准备;打算”的意思。
这种主观意图,一般已做过事先安排,故其实现的可能性较大,其主语常是人。
We are going to have a class meeting this afternoon.
今天下午我们打算开班会。(安排)
(2) 表示根据现有情况、某种迹象,判断将要或即将发生的动作。
此时不含有主观意图,只是表示说话人对客观事态发展的判断或推测,此时主语可以是人,也可以是物。
Look at the black clouds. It's going to rain.
看那些乌云,快要下雨了。(推测)
3. Presumably, you /keep your doors locked /at night /and /while you’re away. So the thief /will still need to /break in.
大概你会在夜晚和外出时锁上门,所以窃贼仍然需要闯入。
解析:
presumably adv.大概;推测起来;可假定
【相关短语】
Presumably long 大概多久
So Presumably 所以假设
Presumably Complimentary 大概免费
例:
The spear is presumably the murder weapon.
这矛很可能就是凶器.
【同近义词 同根词】
adv.大概;推测起来;可假定
probably / possibly / maybe
Well, presumably.
好了,想必。
4. That means /defeating the lock /somehow, or/ breaking a window. He’ll /need to /be jamming you /at this point, as /a broken window /or opened door /would normally/ release the alarm.
这就意味着无论如何都要撬锁或者破窗而入。这时他就需要干扰系统,因为砸窗户或者破门而入势必引发警报。
解析:
(1) mean可以用作及物动词,意为:意欲,计划。
I meant this photo for my mother.
我准备把这张照片送给我的妈妈。
(2) mean还可以表示“使有可能,预示”的意思。
This snow means no sport this afternoon.
这场雪使今天下午的体育活动搞不成了。
(3) mean还可以指“(字、句等)意指,意味”的意思。
A dictionary tells you what words mean.
词典告诉你词语的含义。
This word means nothing.
这个词没有意义。
5. So, too, would /the motion detectors/ in your home, so/ the thief/ will need to /continue jamming once/ he’s inside/ and searching for /things to steal.
因此,窃贼在进入你家,寻找东西偷的时候,仍然需要继续干扰系统。
解析:
(1) so+助动词+主语
是指某人也这样。
Yang is hard-working so do I.
阳很勤奋,我也是。
(2) so+主语+助动词
是指对上文的肯定,起加强作用。
Yang is hard-working so does he.
阳很勤奋,他确实是很勤奋。
