Read the article carefully and answer the following questions.
1. Can you list Mario’s past careers? 
He was a carpenter in the 1981 game Donkey Kong. He started to be a plumber in the 1983 game Mario Bros. He became a doctor in Dr Mario and a cleaner in Super Mario Sunshine. 
2. What are the reasons behind Mario’s changing career, according to the article? 
Firstly, Mario changes as the storyline needs him to. Secondly, as technology develops, it is possible for Mario to have a new image and new abilities. 
3. “One important principle has guided the Mario series for nearly forty years: Mario transforms…” “He’s a familiar character, but he is also fresh because he is always doing new things based on what the technology allows him to do. ” 
What can you infer from these two quotes? 
Nintendo keeps changing Mario to give the game something new. Perhaps that is why Mario keeps attracting people. 
 
IV. Language study
Translate the sentences. Pay attention to the sentence structures.
But Nintendo, the Japanese video game company that invented the character, recently re-introduced Mario using his recent roles of tennis player and car-racer, leaving his old job in the past. 
that 引导的定语从句修饰the Japanese video game company 。 
using his recent roles of tennis player and car-racer为现在分词作方式状语。 
leaving his old job in the past为现在分词作结果状语。 
句意为:但是发明超级马里奥这个角色的日本游戏公司任天堂,最近重新赋予了马里奥新的职业——网球手和赛车手,这使他的旧工作成为过去。
 
Yet according to Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario’s creator, there’s no need to be upset, as this isn’t the first time that Mario has changed his “job”.     
this isn’t the first time that…不是某人第一次做某事。此句型与完成时连用。 
句意为:然而,根据马里奥创始人宫本茂所说,没有必要沮丧,因为这又不是马里奥第一次换工作。 
 
“He’s a familiar character, but he is also fresh because he is always doing new things based on what the technology allows him to do,” Miyamoto said in an interview with USA Today. 
此句在because引导的原因状语从句中,based on为过去分词做后置定语,修饰new things。 
What引导宾语从句。 
句意为:宫本茂在今日美国的采访中说道:它是人们熟悉的角色,但他又是全新的。因为他总是基于科技允许的情况下做新的事情。 
 
While some internet users may want to always remember Nintendo’s most famous character as a plumber, maybe we should all take a more open-minded attitude toward his job changing. 
While表示前后对比。 
take a more open-minded attitude toward对…持更开放的态度。 
句意为:尽管一些网络用户还是希望一直将任天堂这一最著名的角色当作水管工来纪念,但也许我们应该对他职业的变换持更开放的态度。
