教材原文
Life Behind the Lens 1
A white-haired①old man riding an ordinary bicycle around the streets of New York，always wearing the same blue worker's jacket and simple black running shoes.If you saw him，you'd never think there was anything remarkable②about him.And yet every member of New York's wealthy high society③wanted nothing more than④to pose for⑤ this man.
This ordinary-looking man was Bill Cunningham，one of the most important American photographers of the last 50 years 2.
教材原文
1标题Life Behind the Lens 中的life有两层含义。一是理解为“生活”，摄影师Bill Cunningham镜头下的平民百姓的生活状态；二是理解为“一生”，Bill Cunningham是一位社会现象的“观察者”，表明了他对摄影职业一生的热爱。
2 画线部分为Bill Cunningham的同位语。
What made Cunningham so great It certainly wasn't the use of expensive，technologically-advanced equipment 3.Cunningham always used simple, relatively cheap cameras and took all his pictures on the streets of New York，
教材原文
not in a studio.Nor was it a wide range of⑥ contacts⑦and connections⑧ 4.
Although he always knew where fashionable⑨parties and events were happening，Cunningham liked to photograph⑩ordinary people in the poor Bronx as much as VIPs in rich Manhattan 5 .He found inspiration where others could not，in simple，everyday scenes，such as a man buying oranges at the local grocery store ，or a woman riding home on the graffiti-covered subway.These things were real，and it was within their reality that Cunningham saw both beauty and potential 6. Through his fascination with
教材原文
what people were wearing，and not who they were，he opened the doors of fashion to everyone—fashion as he saw it belonged to the people，not just to high society and big brands .7
3 本句为强调句型的省略句，强调certainly not the use of expensive，technologically-advanced equipment，句末省略了与前一句相同的部分that made Cunningham so great。
4 本句用否定词nor位于句首，句子需倒装。
教材原文
5本句为主从复合句。although在此引导让步状语从句，其中包含一个where引导的宾语从句，作knew的宾语。
6本句是由并列连词and连接的并列句。其中第二个分句是强调句型，强调介词短语within their reality。
7介词短语“Through his fascination with...who they were”作原因状语，what和who分别引导两个并列的宾语从句，作介词with的宾语。as he saw it作后置定语，修饰fashion。
教材原文
Moreover ，what made Cunningham great was his devotion to photography, and the hours and hours of sheer hard work he put into his work 8.
Cunningham would go out onto the streets of New York each and every day，regardless of the weather.He would even stay outside in a storm，not coming back until he knew he had the right photos.He hardly ever took a day off and not once stayed home sick.This devotion and hard work is what we see reflected within his photos.This is what makes them so special.
教材原文
8 本句为主从复合句，what在此引导主语从句，并在从句中作主语。he put into his work是省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词hard work。
Although he was a world-famous fashion photographer，Cunningham's approach to life was uncomplicated .He lived in a small apartment with a shared washroom 9.A simple restaurant was where he usually had the same meal of sausages，eggs and coffee 10 .
教材原文
9 此处为介词短语作后置定语，修饰apartment，相当于一个定语从句which/that had a shared washroom。
10此处的where相当于the place where。
Cunningham never accepted the benefits offered to him for being a fashion photographer.He valued his integrity and would not be bought by anyone，no matter how many free clothes or flights to faraway destinations he was
offered 11.And if he went to a celebrity party，he was there to work rather than have fun.“Money's the cheapest thing，”he once said，then added：
教材原文
“...freedom is the most expensive.”This lack of self-interest and promotion kept Cunningham focused on his craft ， enabling him to capture New York's unique street style.12
11 此处为no matter how many引导的让步状语从句。
12 本句为简单句。kept Cunningham focused on his craft为“keep＋宾语＋宾补”结构，focused on his craft 为形容词短语作宾语补足语。enabling him...street style是现在分词短语作结果状语。
教材原文
Cunningham's passion for photography lasted throughout his life.He was 87 when he passed away ，and had been working right up until his last illness.Nothing ever stopped him from getting the photo he wanted.His hard work made him more than a fashion photographer—he was a “cultural anthropologist”，who we can thank for recording the life of a whole city and its people over half a century.Bill Cunningham was an observer，and not one of the observed ，a worker not a star—and this was how he wanted it.
课文翻译
镜头背后的人生
一位白发苍苍的老人骑着一辆普通的自行车在纽约的街道上转悠，他总是穿着同一件蓝色工装夹克和一双朴素的黑色跑鞋。你如果见到他，绝不会认为他有什么了不起之处。然而，纽约富有的上流社会的每一个人都只想给这个人摆姿势。
这位相貌平平的人就是比尔·坎宁安，过去50年美国最有影响力的摄影师之一。
课文翻译
是什么让坎宁安如此伟大？一定不是使用昂贵的、技术先进的设备。坎宁安总是使用简单、相对便宜的相机，他所有的照片都是在纽约街头，而非在摄影棚里拍摄的。也不是各种各样的人际关系和社交。坎宁安虽然总是知道哪里有时尚人物常参加的聚会和活动，但跟喜欢拍摄生活在富裕的曼哈顿的贵宾一样，他也喜欢拍摄生活在贫穷的布朗克斯的普通人。他能从一些简单的日常场景中找到别人无法找到的灵感，比如在当地的超市买橘子的男士，或者乘坐满是涂鸦的地铁回家的女士。这些东西都是真实的，正是在它们的真实中，坎宁安看到了美和潜力。他着迷
课文翻译
于人们的穿着，而不是他们是谁，因此为每个人打开了时尚之门——他所看到的时尚属于大众，而不只属于上流社会和大品牌。
此外，坎宁安的伟大之处在于他对摄影的热爱，以及他对工作长期的纯粹的投入。不管天气如何，坎宁安每天都去纽约的大街上。甚至在暴风雨天，他也常常待在外面，不拍到他认为合适的照片就不回去。他几乎没有一天缺席，也从来没有一次(因为)生病待在家里。这种挚爱和辛勤工作我们从他拍的照片中就能看出来。正是这一点使他的照片如此特别。
课文翻译
虽然坎宁安是世界著名的时尚摄影师，但他的生活方式并不复杂。他住在一间带公用卫生间的小公寓里。一家简朴的餐馆是他平常吃饭的地方，他点一样的香肠、鸡蛋和咖啡。
坎宁安从没接受过作为一名时尚摄影师带给他的好处。他珍视正直，无论有人给他提供多少免费的衣服或远程机票，他都不会被收买。如果他去参加名人派对，他是去工作而不是娱乐。“钱是最廉价的东西，”他曾经说过，然后又补充道：“……自由是最昂贵的”。不追求一己私
课文翻译
利和晋升使坎宁安能一直专注于他的手艺，使他能够捕捉到纽约独特的街头风格。
坎宁安一生对摄影都充满热情。他去世时87岁，一直工作到最后一次生病。没有什么能阻止他拍他想要的照片。他的辛勤工作使他不仅成为了一位时尚摄影师——他更是一位“文化人类学家”。我们应该感谢他记录了半个多世纪整个城市以及城市中人们的生活。比尔·坎宁安是一位观察者，而不是被观察者之一；是一个工人，而不是一个明星——这就是他想要的活法。
