當約翰·吉爾伯特住院的時候, 他問醫(yī)生他的手術是否成功, 但醫(yī)生拒絕告訴他. 第二天, 這位病人要了一部床頭電話. 當房里只剩他一個人時, 他掛通了醫(yī)院的交換臺, 要求與米靈頓醫(yī)生講話. 當這位醫(yī)生接過電話時, 吉爾伯特先生說他想詢問一個病人的情況, 是一位名叫約翰·吉爾伯特的先生. 他問吉爾伯特先生的手術是否成功, 醫(yī)生告訴他手術很成功. 然后他又問吉爾伯特先生什么時候可以回家, 醫(yī)生說他在醫(yī)院還必須再住上兩個星期. 之后, 米靈頓醫(yī)生問打電話的人是否是病人的親屬. “不是, “病人回答說, “我就是約翰·吉爾伯特先生. “
【課文講解】
1、Am I all right?
all right當指人的健康狀況時,可表示“安然無恙的,良好的”
I was not very well last week, but I feel all right now.
2、While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so.
So在這里是代詞,代替前面的動詞不定式(to tell him whether…)。它一般出現(xiàn)believe,do,expect,hope,say,tell,think,appear等之后:
Is it true that John has had an operation?
I am afraid so. /I believe so. / I think so. / It seems so.
3、The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone.
the following day = the next day,這里following表示“緊接著的,其次的”。
ask for 請求,索要,要求(得到某個東西)。在下一句(…asked for Doctor Millington)中它表示“要求(某人)來(接電話)”。
bedside telephone 床頭電話
4、When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert.
Certain在這里沒有“肯定的,確實的”等含義,而表示“某一,某位”,暗指說話者或說話對象可能對這人/這事不大清楚/熟悉,或所指的這個人身份不大清楚:
Mary years ago a certain doctor arrived in London.
a Mr. John Gilbert 一位名叫約翰.吉爾伯特的先生
a+人名前面, 表示某一個擁有這個特征的人或我不認識的某某人,這種情況下a通常與表示“某一”的certain連用:
He is a Leifeng. 表示具有雷鋒的特征
A certain Mrs. Hart is waiting to see you.
有位哈特夫人正等著見您。
5、He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hosptial for another two weeks.
for another two weeks 又兩個星期
another作為限定詞表示“另一個,再一個”的時候,通常與可數(shù)的單數(shù)名詞連用,不和復數(shù)形式連用;但是后面可以跟基數(shù)詞/few+復數(shù)名詞(它們被當成一個整體):
I need another three driving lessons before my test.
考試前我還需上3節(jié)駕駛課。
I need another few hours before I can finish my homework.
我還需幾個小時才能做完作業(yè)。
【Key structures】
直接引語和間接引語
直接引語的疑問句變?yōu)殚g接引語的疑問句時引號和問號不再使用,且直接疑問句中的倒裝語序在轉述疑問句里要還原為陳述句語序(主語+動詞),有必要還要改變時態(tài)。
轉述一般疑問句時必須使用if或whether,不可省略,助動詞do/does和did在轉述疑問句里消失了。
She asked if/whether you were tired. 她問你是否感到疲勞.
ask,want to know,wonder等后面的if和whether通??梢曰Q,但是whether表示的懷疑程度比if稍大。
I wonder if/whether he’s phoned the doctor.
在表示兩者挑一時更常用whether:
She asked me whether I wanted tea or coffee.
轉述疑問句中帶有or not時,通常用whether引導,不用if引導:
He wants to know whether or not we want dinner.
Did the children say they’d eaten? 他們沒告訴我他們吃了沒有。
在轉述特殊疑問句時,通常用原來的疑問詞。在針對主語提問的間接疑問句中,時態(tài)和情態(tài)助動詞照常有變化,但語序保持不變。
Tom asked if / whether Jack would arrive the next day. 湯姆問杰克第二天是否能到.
Jane asked why I hadn't written to her. 簡問為什么我不給她寫信.
如果直接引語是問句,變?yōu)殚g接引語時,主句不說He said,而用He asked;told可以后跟問句,還可以跟陳述句:
直接引語是表示命令、請求、建議的祈使句通??捎眠m當?shù)膭釉~后跟不定式來轉述,常用的這類動詞有advise,ask,tell,order,command,warm,invite等,這些動詞后往往有間接賓語,在轉述這類祈使句的否定形式時,必須將not放在帶to的不定式之前:
She reminded/told me to turn off all the lights.
The teacher was telling/ordering/commanding her students to close their books.
tell sb. to do sth.
The teacher told me (not) to open the door.
ask sb. to do sth.
動詞suggest和insist用于轉述建議、要求時,其結構為suggest/insist +that從句(用should):
He suggests that they should sell the flat. I hope they won’t sell the flat.
He still insisted that we should help him.
