  Lesson 5 No Room in the Ark 诺亚方舟无容身之地

  The gorilla is something of a paradox in the African scene. One thinks one knows him very well.

  For a hundred years or more he has been killed, captured, and imprisoned, in zoos. His bones have been mounted in natural history museums everywhere, and he has always exerted a strong fascination upon scientists and romantics alike. He is the stereotyped monster of the horror films and the adventure books, and an obvious (though not perhaps strictly scientific) link with our ancestral past.(暂不提供全文)

  Eg: I arrived at the meeting , though (I was ) late.

  Yet 与 however ,表示转折,意思完全相同。但 yet 用在句首,however 加标点,可以用

  在自由位置。

  重要句型:

  No really satisfactory photograph has ever been taken of one in …

  Take picture / photograph 照相
