铁杵磨成针，功到自然成。
“青英荟萃”悦读计划是街道关工委、孙爷爷谈心室、学“陶”知行青年学习社配合“双减”政策需要而发起的英语阅读活动。每期推文以220余词为一个选段，邀请外国语专业研究生领读，单列部分重点词句和常用语法。同学们可以通过原文跟读、双语对照、学习点拨更好地理解原文，提高英语阅读能力。
今天要和大家分享的，是一部科幻作品 Under the Moon 。书中说用来阻挡太阳光的臭氧层裂开了一个洞，虽然人类制造了人工臭氧层，但是在三百年后这个人工臭氧层也失去了保护作用，人类将面临怎样的选择呢？
原文领读
今天要读的选段发生在一驾宇宙飞船上，主要是宇航员凯(Kiah)和瑞拉(Rilla)以及赛鲁船长(Captain Seru)的对话。
Under The Moon Part 1
Five hundred kilometres over Europe，Ship OM-45 moved north．In a room at the back of the ship，Kiah watched the numbers on the computer in front of him．
‘Time for dinner，’Rilla said．
The numbers changed quickly and Kiah's eyes didn't move．Rilla went across the room to his table．She began to watch the numbers，too．
‘What's wrong with the satellite？’she asked．She was a beautiful girl，about twenty years old，with long black hair and big eyes．
‘Nothing's wrong with the satellite，’Kiah answered quietly．‘It's the AOL．’He began to write the numbers in the book on his table．
Suddenly，the numbers stopped changing．Kiah looked at Rilla．‘Over Europe，’he said．‘It's happening．The AOL is breaking up．There are big holes in the AOL and they're getting bigger．’
‘You're right！Shall we see Captain Seru now，before dinner？’
Kiah stood up．He was nearly two metres tall，with dark eyes and hair．‘Yes，come on，’he said．
Quickly，they went to Captain Seru's room．They waited at the door．
‘Come in！’captain Seru called．She was a little woman with a fat face．‘Come in！Would you like a drink？’
‘No，thank you，’Kiah answered．‘I'd like you to look at these numbers．’Kiah gave Captain Seru his book．
双语辨析
Under The Moon Part 1
《在月亮下面》 第一部分
Five hundred kilometres over Europe，Ship OM-45 moved north．In a room at the back of the ship，Kiah watched the numbers on the computer in front of him．
OM-45号宇宙飞船在欧洲上空500公里的高度向北飞行。飞船尾部的一个房间里，凯注视着面前计算机屏幕上的数字。
‘Time for dinner，’Rilla said．
“该吃饭了。”瑞拉叫他。
The numbers changed quickly and Kiah's eyes didn't move．Rilla went across the room to his table．She began to watch the numbers，too．
那些数字飞快地变换着，凯眼都不眨一下。瑞拉穿过房间走到他的桌旁。她也开始观察那些数字。
‘What's wrong with the satellite？’she asked．She was a beautiful girl，about twenty years old，with long black hair and big eyes．
“卫星怎么了？”她问。她是个美丽的女孩，大约二十岁，黑黑的长发，大大的眼睛。
‘Nothing's wrong with the satellite，’Kiah answered quietly．‘It's the AOL．’He began to write the numbers in the book on his table．
“卫星没问题，”凯平静地回答，“是人工臭氧层。”他伏在桌上，开始往一个本子上记录那些数字。
Suddenly，the numbers stopped changing．Kiah looked at Rilla．‘Over Europe，’he said．‘It's happening．The AOL is breaking up．There are big holes in the AOL and they're getting bigger．’
突然，那些数字停止了变换。凯转向瑞拉。“在欧洲上空，”他说，“已经开始了。人工臭氧层正在破裂。那上面本来就有大洞了，现在那些洞还在增大。”
‘You're right！Shall we see Captain Seru now，before dinner？’
“说得对，咱们现在去见塞鲁船长吧，待会儿再吃饭好吗？”
Kiah stood up．He was nearly two metres tall，with dark eyes and hair．‘Yes，come on，’he said．
凯站起身。他身高几乎有两米，眼睛和头发都是黑色的。“好，走吧。”他说。
Quickly，they went to Captain Seru's room．They waited at the door．
他们迅速朝塞鲁船长的房间走去。他们等在船长的门外。
‘Come in！’captain Seru called．She was a little woman with a fat face．‘Come in！Would you like a drink？’
“进来！”塞鲁船长喊道。她是个胖脸的小个子女人。“进来！喝点什么吗？”
‘No，thank you，’Kiah answered．‘I'd like you to look at these numbers．’Kiah gave Captain Seru his book．
“不用，谢谢，”凯说，“我想请您看看这些数字。”凯把自己的笔记本递给塞鲁船长。
学习点拨
1.本选段大家要注意以下几个词：
第一个是：moved north，move是“移动”的意思，在move后面直接加字母d构成过去式，表示发生在过去的动作；north在这里是“向北方”的意思，moved north意为“向北方移动”
第二个是：stopped changing，stop是“停止”的意思，由于stop是以重读闭音节结尾，构成过去式要双写p再加ed；stop doing sth.意为停止做某事，change是“变换，变化”的意思，stop changing就是“停止变换”的意思
2.本选段有一个常用语法（或句型）：
What’s wrong with sth./sb.? 表示“某物或者某人出什么事了？”
通常用于询问某物出了什么问题或者是关心某人怎么了，大家可以在以后的阅读中留心。需要注意的是，在口语中，“What’s wrong with you?”的意思会随着语气的变化而改变，可以表示关心，也可表示指责、责备，意思是“你这人怎么回事儿啊？”
阅读思考
通过阅读，你知道凯为什么要给赛鲁船长看数据嘛？他们接下来会有怎样的对话？好了，今天的青英荟萃就读到这里。祝大家学的开心、变的更强，我们下期再见。
