Gulf War (海湾战争)
World War I, which
broke out when the
heir (继承人) to the
Austro-Hungarian
Empire (奥匈帝国)
was assassinated (暗
杀), was a military
conflict that lasted
from 1914 to 1918
which involved most
of the world’s great
powers.
More than 70 million military personnel,
including 60 million Europeans, were
mobilised (鼓动起) in one of the largest
wars in history. More than 15 million people
were killed, making it one of the deadliest
conflicts in history.
World War II, which
broke out with
Germany’s invasion
of Poland, was a
global military
conflict between 1939
and 1945, which
involved most of the
world’s nations,
including all
great powers, organised into two opposing
military alliances: the Allies (协约国) and the Axis
(轴心国).
The leaders of the Allies were Russia, Britain
and the USA, and the leaders of the Axis were
Germany, Italy and Japan. The war saw the first
use of large-scale bombing raids against
civilians.
The war involved the mobilisation of over 100
million military personnel, making it the most
widespread war in history. Over seventy
million people, the
majority civilians, were
killed, making it the
deadliest conflict in
human history.
The Vietnam War
was a Cold War
military conflict
that occurred in
Vietnam, Laos, and
Cambodia
from September 26, 1959 to April 30, 1975.
Vietnam was a French colony. The Vietnamese
began fighting against the French in 1949 with
the help from the new Chinese republic. In
1954, after the Vietnamese defeated the French
in a decisive
Battle, the country was divided into the
Communist North and the US-backed South. In
1963, the South Vietnamese president was
assassinated in a coup (政变), which prompted
increased US military intervention (干涉).
The US began bombing the North in 1965. In
1968, US troops killed hundreds of unarmed
Vietnamese villagers in My Lai. In 1970, the
US secretly began bombing Cambodia, which
they believed was helping the Communists. The
last US troops left Vietnam in 1973. North and
South Vietnam were reunited in 1976.

Part III
Structure Analysis
1. One of the men, speaking in English,
remarked that he had worked in England
for some years and that he was fed up to
the neck with this war and would be glad
when it was over.
译文：其中有一个会说英语的提到他在
英国工作过几年，他说他对这场战争早
就烦透了，如果战争结束他会非常高兴
的。
结构分析：
这个复合句中，含有两个由连接词that
引导的宾语从句。在后一个宾语从句中
when it was over 为时间状语从句。短语
speaking in English 在句中作定语，修饰one。
拓展：分词相当于一个定语从句。现在分
词作定语相当于一个主动语态的定语从句；
过去分词作定语相当于一个被动语态的定
语从句。speaking in English = who spoke
in English。
2. We’d formed a bond and during the
whole of the Boxing Day we never fired a
shot and they the same; each side seemed
to be waiting for the other to set the ball
rolling.
译文：
我们一致协议，圣诞节第二天我
们一枪未开，他们也没有开。好像双
方都在等对方先开火。
结构分析：
前一分句中的they the same 是一个
省略句，相当于they did the same thing；
后一分句中seemed to be waiting for the
other to set the ball rolling 为不定式的
进行时态，作表语；to set the ball
rolling 为不定式短语，作宾语the other
的补足语，意为“使……开始，开始
进行……活动”。
