Notes on the text課文注釋
1 Let's = Let us，常用于第一人稱(chēng)的祈使句中，用來(lái)表示請(qǐng)求、建議、命令。
2 She told me she had just made a new film.她告訴我她剛拍完一部新片子。
這是間接引語(yǔ)的又一個(gè)例子，這句話中含有一個(gè)用過(guò)去時(shí)引述動(dòng)詞的結(jié)構(gòu)。如果我們對(duì)比一下Marsh小姐對(duì)記者說(shuō)的話(直接引語(yǔ))和報(bào)上刊載的記者的復(fù)述(問(wèn)接引語(yǔ))，就不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，間接引語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)往往要倒移。而這種倒移的普遍規(guī)則是:現(xiàn)在時(shí)變成過(guò)去時(shí)，現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)變成過(guò)去完成時(shí)。
3 I wonder why!我很想知道為什么。
