【Text】
Haroun Tazieff, the Polish scientist, has spent his lifetime studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world. In 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later named Kituro. Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently. Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photographs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long. He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him. It threatened to surround him completely, but Tazieff managed to escape just in time. He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later. This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures. Tazieff has often risked his life in this way. He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive.

参考译文
波兰科学家哈罗恩·塔捷耶夫花了毕生的精力来研究世界各地的`活火山和深洞. 1948年他去了刚果的基伍湖, 对一座后来被他命名为基图罗的新火山进行观察. 当火山正在猛烈地喷发时, 塔捷耶夫有办法把帐篷搭在离它非常近的地方. 尽管他设法拍了一些十分精彩的照片, 但他却不能在火山附近停留太长的时间. 他发现有一股岩浆正向他流过来, 眼看就要将他团团围住, 但塔捷耶夫还是设法及时逃离了. 他等到火山平静下来, 两天以后又返回去. 这次他设法爬进了基图罗火山口, 以便能拍摄照片和测试温度. 塔捷耶夫经常冒这样的生命危险. 他能告诉我们的有关活火山的情况比任何在世的人都要多.

【Key structures】
Can, Be able to and Manage to
表示能力时用can/could，在将来时中表示“能力”时通常用will be able to，在表示成功地完成过去某个动作时用was able to而不用could。
He thought he could pass the exam easily, but he failed.
I can’t remember where I’ve seen him.
Jane can’t swim yet. She’ll be able to swim in a few months’ time.
manage to在表示成功地完成过去某个动作时，经常代替be able to，它更强调“虽然困难很大，但仍然……”。在否定句中，manage to与be able to经常可以互换。
He was able to finish the job yesterday. （表示可能）
He managed to finish the job yesterday. （暗示他克服了不少困难才完成）
What do you think of the film?
I’m afraid I haven’t managed to/been able to see it yet.

【Special Difficulties】
带 say与tell的短语
1、say
在表示“说，讲”时，say后面不跟间接宾语（人）。如果一定要指明，则用“to +名词/代词”。表示“道别，诵读（祈祷），背诵”等含义时用say而不能用tell。say有“表达（思想、意见等）”、“据说”含义，tell则没有。
John is said to be very interested in art.
Do you have anything to say about the accident?
关于这次事故你有什么想说的/想法？
He knelt down and said his prayers. 他跪了下来作祷告.
He said goodbye and left. 他告辞后离开了.
say a good word for 为……说好话/辩护；推荐
Don’t expect that he’ll say a good word for you.
2、tell
在表示“说，讲”时，tell后面可以跟双宾语。tell经常用于表示“讲（实话，谎话，秘密等）”。tell可以表示“辨别，分辨”，say则不可以。在英国英语中，tell the time（美语为tell time）表示根据钟表等“说出时间，识钟”
Can you tell me anything about it? 你能告诉我有关的任何事情吗?
He is only five, but he can already tell the time.
tell (sb.) a lie 说谎（谎言有很多个，为可数名词）
He often tells lies. 他经常说谎.
tell (sb.) the truth 讲真话(真话只有一个,故要特指, 加the)
I want you to tell me the truth. 我要你讲真话.
tell (sb.) the difference between 区分, 区别
Can't you tell the difference between an Austin and a Morris?
你能区分奥斯丁舞和莫利斯舞吗?
say和tell后面跟so时含义不一样：
I told you so! 我告诉过你是这样的！（用于情况被证实之后）
Who says so? 谁这么说的？
I say so. 我这么说的。
