Lesson 15 Good news
課文內(nèi)容：
The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. ‘Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. ‘Don't interrupt,' he Said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra &100 a year!
精講筆記：
4.After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad.
在我坐下后，他告訴我生意不太景氣。
語言點1 此句中after引導時間狀語從句。had sat down是過去的過去發(fā)生的動作，用過去完成時。
語言點2 主句he said that..，變成直接引語為：he said,“Business is very bad.”
5.He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.
他告訴我說，公司現(xiàn)在無力支付這么巨額的工資。
語言點1 此句中包含典型的間接引語，that引導的間接引語為賓語從句。'
語言點2 pay such large salaries = pay such high salaries 支付如此巨額的工資
6.Twenty people had already left.
有20個人已經(jīng)被迫離開了公司。
語言點 already意為“已經(jīng)”，該詞經(jīng)常與完成時態(tài)連用，強調(diào)結果：Have you finished your composition already?你已經(jīng)完成作文了嗎？
