mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me in a wayward course, over a great
ocean of anguish, 3.__________ (reach) to the very edge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings delight—delight so great 4._______ I would often have
sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it
5._________ (relieve) loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness
looks over the rim of the world into the cold lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally,
6._________in the union of love I have seen the vision of the 7._________ (glory) world that
saints and poets have imagined. This is 8.______I sought, and though it might seem too good for
human life, this is what—at last—I have found.
9.______ equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men.
I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to understand the Pythagorean power
by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far 10._____ they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But
always pity brought me back to earth. Cries of pain echo in my heart. Children in famine, victims
11.___________ (torture) by oppressors, 12._________(help) old people a burden to their sons,

I can best illustrate by 18._______ (imagine) what I should most like to see if I had three days of
sight. What would I most want to let my gaze rest 19._______?
On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness, 20._____________ (gentle) and

I should devote the second day 26.____ a hasty glimpse of the world, past and present, and probe

Natural History, 27._______ the condensed history of the earth and its inhabitants is displayed.
My next stop would be the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the spirit of Egypt, Greece and
Rome, as 28.____________ (express) in their art, is unfolded before me. I should spend the
evening at a theatre or at the movies. How I should like to see 29._____ my own eyes the
fascinating figure of Hamlet, or the hearty Falstaff!
The third and last day would be spent in the workday world of the present, so New York City,

city. Always my eyes are wide open 33.______ all the sights of both happiness and suffering so
that I may probe deep and add to my understanding of 34.______ people work and live. In the
evening I should run away to the theatre, to a 35.___________ (genuine) funny play, so that I

Part 3: 单元语法 Allusion 隐喻,典故
考点精讲
Perhaps you have heard of Achilles, a heroic warrior in Greek mythology. In Homer’s epic poem
The liad, which describes the final events of the ten-year Trojan War, Achilles is known for his
pride and his desire for glory. Handsome, brave and unbeatable in battle, he is the greatest of all
Greek warriors. Surrounding this legendary figure, there are not only exciting stories passed down
from ancient times, but also a common allusion that has found its way into the English language.
According to Greek mythology, Achilles’s mother, a goddess named Thetis, held him below the
surface of a river that was believed to have magical powers, so as to protect him against any
injury. Unfortunately, because she held the baby Achilles by his heel, this part of his body
remained unprotected. Before Achilles took part in the Trojan War, he had a difficult decision to
make about his own life: he could return home, live a long peaceful life and be forgotten forever;
or he could fight the Trojans and die the death of a glorious warrior, with his name living on
forever. The brave warrior Achilles, not surprisingly, chose the latter. He joined his fellow Greeks
to fight the Trojans, killing the Trojan prince Hector in the process. Then Paris, Hector’s brother,
shot Achilles in his unprotected heel with an arrow, leaving him to die. For Achilles, who believed
life was meaningful only when he was remembered by others, this was a noble and worthy death.
Today, as he had hoped, Achilles’s name still lives on. His choice about how to spend his life has
led people to reflect upon the meaning of life. The allusion “Achilles heel”, referring to a weak
point in someone’s character, which can be attacked by other people, has become one of the most
commonly used allusions in the English language.

Part 3: 单元语法 Allusion 隐喻,典故
考点精讲
Perhaps you have heard of Achilles, a heroic warrior in Greek mythology. In Homer’s epic poem
The liad, which describes the final events of the ten-year Trojan War, Achilles is known for his
pride and his desire for glory. Handsome, brave and unbeatable in battle, he is the greatest of all
Greek warriors. Surrounding this legendary figure, there are not only exciting stories passed down
from ancient times, but also a common allusion that has found its way into the English language.
According to Greek mythology, Achilles’s mother, a goddess named Thetis, held him below the
surface of a river that was believed to have magical powers, so as to protect him against any
injury. Unfortunately, because she held the baby Achilles by his heel, this part of his body
remained unprotected. Before Achilles took part in the Trojan War, he had a difficult decision to
make about his own life: he could return home, live a long peaceful life and be forgotten forever;
or he could fight the Trojans and die the death of a glorious warrior, with his name living on
forever. The brave warrior Achilles, not surprisingly, chose the latter. He joined his fellow Greeks
to fight the Trojans, killing the Trojan prince Hector in the process. Then Paris, Hector’s brother,
shot Achilles in his unprotected heel with an arrow, leaving him to die. For Achilles, who believed
life was meaningful only when he was remembered by others, this was a noble and worthy death.
Today, as he had hoped, Achilles’s name still lives on. His choice about how to spend his life has
led people to reflect upon the meaning of life. The allusion “Achilles heel”, referring to a weak
point in someone’s character, which can be attacked by other people, has become one of the most
commonly used allusions in the English language.
