課文詳注 Further notes on the text
    1.I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.近我作了短途旅行,但這次旅行所花費(fèi)的時(shí)間比我預(yù)計(jì)的要長(zhǎng)。
    (1)go on在這里的含義為“為(某一目的)而去”:
    I'll go on holiday next month.
    我下個(gè)月去度假。
    Did you go on a trip last month?
    你上個(gè)月去旅行了嗎?
    (2)take在句中的含義為“花費(fèi)(時(shí)間)”。take表示此含義時(shí),主語(yǔ)通常不用人,而用某件事,并常用帶先行主語(yǔ)it的結(jié)構(gòu):
    It took me half an hour to walk to the station/to repair the bicycle.
    走到車站/修理自行車花了我半個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間。
    2.I'll tell you where to get off.我會(huì)告訴您在哪兒下車。
    (1)where to get off是一個(gè)“連接副詞+不定式短語(yǔ)”結(jié)構(gòu),其中的連接副詞通常為疑問(wèn)副詞。這種結(jié)構(gòu)接近一個(gè)名詞從句,常
    在tell, show, know, decide, teach, learn, wonder,
    remember, explain等動(dòng)詞后作賓語(yǔ):
    Did Mary tell you when to come?
    瑪麗告訴你什么時(shí)候來(lái)了嗎?
    Do you know how to open the box?
    你知道如何打開這盒子嗎?
    He didn't tell me where to put those books.
    他沒(méi)有告訴我把那些書放在哪里。
    (2)get off與 get on為一對(duì)反義詞,分別表示“(從汽車等上)下來(lái)”和“登上(汽車、火車等)”,off與on既可以作副詞又可以作介詞:
    No one got on/ off(the bus)at the last bus stop.
    在上個(gè)公共汽車站沒(méi)有人上/下車。
    3.I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside.我坐在汽車的前部,以便飽覽農(nóng)村風(fēng)光。
    (1)in the front of表示“在(某一事物的)前部”:
    I don't like to sit in the front of a car.
    我不喜歡坐在汽車的前座上。
    There is a ship in the front of the photo.
    這張照片的前景中有條船。
    in front of則表示“在……前面”,兩者間往往有距離:
    He stopped his car in front of a school.
    他把車停在一個(gè)學(xué)校前面。
    (2)不定式短語(yǔ)to get…在句子中作目的狀語(yǔ)。(cf.第49課語(yǔ)法)
    4.This is as far as we go.我們的車就到此為止了。
    as far as表示“到……程度/限度”、“就……的限度而言”:
    As far as I know, they haven't returned from abroad.
    就我所知,他們還沒(méi)有從國(guó)外回來(lái)。
    This is as far as I can help you.
    我所能幫你的僅止于此。
    5.I forgot to put you off.我忘了讓您下車了。
    put off的含義之一是“讓……下車(或飛機(jī)、船等)”:
    They put me off at a small station.
    他們讓我在一個(gè)小站下了車。
    6.Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus.好吧,既然如此,我還是留在車上吧。
    (1)well單獨(dú)使用時(shí)通常為感嘆詞,有時(shí)表示同意、順從、躊躇等情感,有時(shí)則僅起連接作用,相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)的“嗯”、“噢”、“喔”等。
    (2)in that/this case表示“既然是這/那樣”、“假使那/這樣的話”:
    Is he one of your best friends? In that/this case, you may invite him.
    他是你好的朋友之一嗎?既然如此,你可以邀請(qǐng)他。
    語(yǔ)法 Grammar in use
    一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)
    在第26課的語(yǔ)法中,我們講到有些表示狀態(tài)和感覺(jué)的動(dòng)詞通常用于一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)而不用于進(jìn)行時(shí),如:appear, appreciate, believe, feel, forget, hear, know, like, look, notice, remember, resemble, see, think, understand。除了這些動(dòng)詞之外,另外有些表示所屬關(guān)系以及喜好、憎惡、需要等感情的動(dòng)詞通常也只用于一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)而不用于進(jìn)行時(shí)。這些動(dòng)詞包括belong to, consist of, contain, desire, detest, dislike, hate, hope, love, matter, mean, mind, need, want, wish等。它們往往表示通常的狀態(tài)而不是具體動(dòng)作。
    The car belongs to Dan.
    那輛車是丹的。(不可用進(jìn)行時(shí))
    I need a new hat.
    我需要一頂新帽子。(表示狀態(tài))
    詞匯學(xué)習(xí) Word study
    1.lose, loose與miss
    (1)lose通常為及物動(dòng)詞,可以表示“失去”、“喪失”、“遺失”、“丟失”等含義:

    她16歲時(shí)便失去了雙親。
    (2)loose雖然詞形與lose比較相似,意義與用法卻有很大區(qū)別。它主要作形容詞,表示“松的”、“松動(dòng)的”、“松開的”:
    The handle of this suitcase is very/ has come loose.
    這個(gè)手提箱的把手非常松/松了。
    (3)miss通常作及物動(dòng)詞,可以表示“錯(cuò)過(guò)”、“未能……”、“缺(課等)”、“惦念”、“想念”等多種含義:

    2.expect與wait for
    (1)expect可以表示“預(yù)計(jì)……可能發(fā)生(或來(lái)到)”、“等待”、“期盼”等。它表示等待時(shí)往往側(cè)重人的心理而不是具體在某個(gè)地方等:
    I expect/ I'm expecting to hear from you.
    我等著你的來(lái)信。
    I'm expecting the bus to arrive in the next ten minutes.
    我想10分鐘之內(nèi)公共汽車就會(huì)到。
    (2)wait for主要指“等待”這個(gè)動(dòng)作本身:
