語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀

你可知，在日本的街頭游蕩著一群現(xiàn)代武士。他們戴著氈帽，穿著武士服。每當(dāng)他們看到要處理的目標(biāo)時(shí)，他們總是擺出極酷的造型，以迅雷不及掩耳之勢(shì)出手……好了，又有一片垃圾被拾走了。

The trash?collecting samurai belong to a street performance group who walk on the streets of Japan collecting trash with their trash clips.

They have the very similar looks of the old samurai， but often take on their appearances with cool hats， and modern shoes. They are known for performing samurai songs， dances， and sword shows at different public events. But in the last few years， the trash?collecting samurai have been making national news headlines for their trash?cleaning acts. They， in fact， turn collecting street trash into a performance worth buying tickets.

The trash?collecting samurai give attractive poses whenever they locate and decide to pick up a piece of trash， while at the same time shouting like“Who has done this？” or “Pun?ish those with no morals！” Theyre completely harmless， but the action is a huge part of their performance.

Even in a clean country like Japan， littering is a big prob?lem， especially during popular festivals， so the trash?collecting samurai take it upon themselves to deal with the streets， trash and make people happy at the same time. They walk on the streets dressed in traditional clothes and trash clips， with traditional trash baskets on their backs. And when they find a piece of trash， they shout like “who goes there？” and show a dance battle. Only the winner can have the chance to pick up the trash.

So if youre ever in Tokyo and happen to see a group of samurai with trash?collecting tools looking cool and shouting threats， dont run for your life. Just step back and enjoy the show， its not something you get to see every day.

典句賞析

1.The trash?collecting samurai belong to a street performance group who walk on the streets of Japan collecting trash with their trash clips. “垃圾收集武士”是一個(gè)街頭表演團(tuán)隊(duì)，他們行走于日本的街頭，用垃圾夾子收集垃圾。

該句為復(fù)合句，who在這里作關(guān)系代詞，引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句;短語(yǔ)belong to作謂語(yǔ)，意為“屬于……”，to是介詞，后接名詞或者代詞。belong to不可用于進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，也不能用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài);collecting trash是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作從句的伴隨狀語(yǔ)。

【即時(shí)嘗試】露西是一個(gè)可愛(ài)的女生，她喜歡讀書(shū)并且樂(lè)于助人。

2.They， in fact， turn collecting street trash into a performance worth buying tickets. 事實(shí)上，他們把收集街頭垃圾的行為變成了一種甚至值得購(gòu)票欣賞的表演。

該句為簡(jiǎn)單句， 名詞performance后面用形容詞短語(yǔ)作了后置定語(yǔ);（be） worth doing （sth.） 是常見(jiàn)的搭配，意為“值得做（某事）”，屬于用動(dòng)詞的主動(dòng)形式來(lái)表示被動(dòng)意義。

【即時(shí)嘗試】莉莉買(mǎi)了一本很值得一讀的小說(shuō)。

3.So if youre ever in Tokyo and happen to see a group of samurai with trash?collecting tools looking cool and shouting threats， dont run for your life. 所以，如果你在日本碰巧看到一群外形酷帥的武士，手持撿垃圾的器具，發(fā)出威脅的怒吼，你可不要著急逃命啊。

該句為復(fù)合句。if引導(dǎo)的是條件狀語(yǔ)從句，意為“如果……”，其主句為祈使句，省略了主語(yǔ)you;happen to是固定短語(yǔ)，意為“碰巧……”;run for ones life是固定搭配，意為“逃命”。

【即時(shí)嘗試】如果你遇到了麻煩，一定要去找警察?。?/p>
