LESSON 45 A clear conscience
    1.A clear conscience, (標(biāo)題)問心無(wú)愧。
    clear在這里的含義為“清白的”、“無(wú)罪的”,因此這個(gè)短語(yǔ)又可譯為“清白的良心”,相當(dāng)于 a good conscience,反義詞為 a bad conscience(感到內(nèi)疚)。
    2.The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost. 整個(gè)村子很快知道,有一大筆錢丟失了。
    (1)village在這里為總稱,指“村民”,the whole village指“全村的人”,后面通常跟單數(shù)動(dòng)詞(有時(shí)也可視為復(fù)數(shù)):
    The whole village was excited by the news.
    這消息使全村的人興奮。
    (2)learn在句中的含義為“獲悉”、“得知”:
    I've just learnt that she was ill.
    我剛剛得知她病了。
    3.it contained half the money he had lost, 里面有他丟失的錢的一半。
    我們既可以說 half the money,也可以說 half of the money,它們可以互相替代,但是money前都必須有the,因?yàn)槭侵柑囟ǖ腻X。再如:
    Half the bread/ half of the bread was bad.
    這面包有一半已變質(zhì)了。
    4.In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way. 很快,薩姆全部的錢都用同樣的方式還了回來(lái)。
    in time可以表示“經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間”或“最終”、“遲早”:
    In time, he found all the books he needed.
    一段時(shí)間以后,他找到了他需要的所有書。
    I'll tell you everything in time.
    我最終/總有一天會(huì)把一切都告訴你的。
    5.steal與rob
    steal指“偷盜”、“竊取”,其行為通常是偷偷地、悄悄地、不為別人所發(fā)覺;rob則指“搶奪”、“搶劫”,其行為通常是明目張膽的:
    The man who stole my wallet took my address book as well.
    偷走我錢包的那個(gè)人把我的通訊錄也拿走了。
    I lost my address book when that man robbed me of my bag.
    當(dāng)那人搶走我的包時(shí),我的通訊錄也沒了。
    Someone has stolen my bag from me.
    有人把我的包偷走了。
    They took the risk of being arrested and robbed the bank.
    他們冒著被逮捕的危險(xiǎn)搶劫了那家銀行。
    注意 steal和 rob與介詞的不同搭配:steal(sth.) from(sb./ some place), rob(sb.) of(sth.)。

    He embarrassed me at the party. I'll pay him back someday.
    在晚會(huì)上他讓我難堪了??傆幸惶煳視?huì)報(bào)復(fù)他的。
    7.while doing是一個(gè)省略形式

    1、這個(gè)動(dòng)作的主語(yǔ)跟主句的主語(yǔ)一樣
    2、這句話一定要是進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)
