Further notes on the text

1.…we're going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria.……我们现在到克拉布利亚的通心粉田里。

(1)go over表示“往……走过去”,暗示中间原有一段距离:

I went over to the blind man to help him across the road.

我走到那个盲人身边,帮他过马路。

(2)field指“(一块)田”、“块”,为可数名词,常用复数:

Many people are busy harvesting in the rice fields.

稻田里许多人正忙着收割。

(3)macaroni指“通心粉”,是加工过的面粉。它不可能像wheat, rice一样长在田里,不该与fields连用,但由于是愚弄人的玩
笑,所以这篇文章通篇都是以通心粉长在地里为前提进行的描述。由于macaroni是意大利语,很可能有人会以为是某种没听说过的新的粮食品种。

2.between them,由于他们共同努力的结果。

between作介词时含义之一是“作为……共同努力的结果”、“协
力”;

Between them they killed the snake.

他们一起杀死了那条蛇。

Between us we pulled down the tree.

我们协力把树拉倒了。

3.the September rains,9月雨季。

rain一般指“雨水”:

The rain is falling heavily.

雨下得很大。

We haven't had much rain this year.

今年雨水不多。

当rain指“雨季”、“季节性的雨”,尤其是热带地区的雨季时,要
用复数形式:

We'd better leave the district before the April rains.

我们最好在4月的雨季之前离开这个地区。

Sometimes spring rains are really annoying.

有时绵绵春雨真让人心烦意乱。
