4. … most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center

in New York was taken down by terrorists.

此句中was taken down是被动语态。意思是“被摧毁”。其中take down表示将建筑物或高的物体“拆除；拆掉；拆卸”，此处根据上下文可翻译成“摧毁；毁掉”。如: They’re talking about how to take that wall down.

他们在讨论如何拆除那堵墙。

6. I didn’t believe him at first.

at first “起初，首先”，作为介词短语，只起副词作用（在句中用作状语）。

at firs 主要用于强调前后对照，暗示接下去的动作与前面的动作不同甚至相反，因此

常有

but, afterwards, soon, at last 等相呼应。

e.g. At first I didn’t want to go, but soon I changed my mind.

我开始不想去，但我很快就改变了主意。
