L14-4：A noble gangster
In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted which was dedicated to the memory of 'the most valiant soldier and most notable leader, Signor Giovanni Haukodue'.
知识点：
单词：
Florentine 英/ˈflɔrəntain; -tiːn/美/ˈflɔːrəntiːn; -tin /n.佛罗伦萨人;adj.（与）佛罗伦萨（有关）的
(of food 食物)佛罗伦萨式的；(上桌时)放在菠菜上的：
eg. served on spinach
a biscuit / cookie containing nuts and fruit, half covered in chocolate(一面有巧克力的)干果饼干(坚果蜜饯制成)
funeral/ˈfjuːnərəl/n. 葬礼，丧礼
it's (或 that's) someone's funeral (非正式)这是你自作自受;那你可要倒霉了
eg. None of my business, I guess. It's your funeral.我想是不关我什么事儿，你就自寻死路吧。
dedicate/ˈdedikeit/
~ yourself / sth to sth / to doing sth 把（时间、精力、自身等）奉献给
eg. She dedicates herself to her work. 她献身于自己的工作。
~ sth to sb (在书、音乐或作品的前部)题献辞

eg. The church is dedicated to St Mary of Bec.该教堂供奉的是贝克的圣玛丽。
eg. A memorial stone was dedicated to those who were killed in the war. 为阵亡将士纪念碑举行了落成典礼。
辨析dedicate,devote,consecrate,hallow贡献
dedicate①庄严排他地奉献于神圣或严肃的用途或目的，强调决心和信念；②通过正式或公开的行为将荣誉或信任等分配给非直接创造者，比如书的题献，某物用来纪念……
devote通常含很强的动机，往往与一个目标相关，仅有dedicate①之意，并不十分强调对理想的承诺，更多强调出于热心、亲情或个人倾向而奉献。
devote与dedicate只是意义侧重不同，常可替换：
dedicate/devote …to（doing）…后可接时间，精力，金钱，类似于spend的用法，但spend后接on sth/in doing sth
eg. She dedicated / devoted all her life to the welfare of women and children. 她把一生都献给了妇女和儿童福利的事业。
两者的被动结构表示“专用于”，dedicated多用于指组织、机构、报刊杂志等专用于；devoted多用于指物品专用于。
eg. The magazing is dedicated to science as all its articles deal with scientific matters.这本杂志是有关科学的专门杂志，所有文章都讲述科学问题。
eg. Evening courses for adultys range from classes devoted to basic skills to classes for graduate univsersity degrees.为成人开设的夜校课程范围从基本技能课程直到大学研究生学位课程。
consecrate/ˈkɒnsɪkreɪt/正式，尤指为宗教而献身，把……献给（宗教用途）
eg. consecrated ground; hallowed by Thy name
hallow正式，宗教含义，常被动hallowed（类似于holy用法），神圣的；hallow做v为宗教或大事而献身
consecrate与hallow宗教，consecrate和hallow用于宗教之外任何极端虔诚庄严的承诺，consecrate用得更广泛些：
eg. a truly great ruler who consecrated himself to seeking and upholding the public good；
eg. a day set aside to hallow the founding of the country.
valiant/ˈvæliənt/骁勇无比的，英勇的
辨析brave，courageous，valiant，valorous，heroic，gallant，bold勇敢
brave最常用，人压力下的表现，体现自控和决心。
courageous/kə'reɪdʒəs/专注于对情况做出反应，但它往往意味着强烈的道德、原则和责任感而引出的坚定。
brave和courage都意味着尽管有外部阻碍或内心害怕，也愿意自发进行必要的努力。一个brave或courage的士兵执行一个危险的任务，不是没有恐惧，而是没有让恐惧阻止他履行职责。
valiant和valorous/'vælərəs/与骑士有关的勇气和刚毅的人和行为。valiant修饰一个值得的事业，可嘉的后果。valorous适用于勇气的精神或行为。
eg. A valiant fireman may save persons trapped in a burning building by a valorous disregard of his own safety.
heroic/hɪ'rəʊɪk/和gallant都含高贵的动机或无私奉献精神，heroic尤指在战争或危险中体现出的勇气，勇于献出自己的性命去拯救别人的勇气。gallant指侠义行动中的内在高尚。
eg. The storming of Gallipoli was a heroic action of gallant men.
bold自信的、不顾后果的大胆，强调无所畏惧和毫不犹豫。有时含鲁莽之意，还有无耻的贬义。
词组：

(a) sort of
sort of =in some way or to some degree有点儿

eg. I appreciated very much this film.
eg. Most of us didn't appreciate Professor X's lecture.
provide a regular supply of sth经常/定期供应、提供、给sth
在本文中用这样一个文绉绉的“大词”搭配表达give (them) pocket money regularly按时给零花钱，有种幽默的效果。
be a source of sth提供sth，不同的短语表达同一个意思，英文中多用替换的写作手法
go a long way
耐用，经用，常指食物或钱财可以维持很久，如本文中的意思
go a long way( to/towards doing sth.) (对做某事来说)起很大作用，很有帮助

长难句、语法：

eg. With those who don't hope to make any progress，it‘s the same. 对那些不思进取的人来说都一样。
eg. Everything was going on well with them.（对）他们（来说）一切都进行得很顺利。
虽然to也可以表示“对于”，但此处不能用to替代with，否则造成后面的go动词+to 产生歧义。
精妙翻译：
…，but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income.
但是叔舅婶姨也是孩子们额外收入的来源。
Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box.
但是能把储蓄罐装满的只有屈指可数的几个特别节俭的孩子。
首先，本句根据语境补出了“但是”，其次very thrifty翻译成“屈指可数的几个特别节俭的”，很巧妙；
再次，本句翻译时的语序将manage to fill up a money box这谓语的部分翻译成了修饰“孩子”的定语，符合汉语表达习惯，又通俗易懂。

For most of them, 50 pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate.
对大部分孩子来说，用50便士来买一大块好的巧克力，是算不了什么的。（small price并没有采取直译，而是用“是算不了什么的”来表示）

what is more而且，更糟的是
固定结构，不管用在什么时态的句子中，都是is
插入语，通过新的附加信息对前文所述作进一步强调。
