    1.Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. 安·斯特林夫人在穿過森林追趕兩個男人時,她并沒有考慮到所冒的風(fēng)險。
    (1)think of在這里表示“考慮”、“思考”。
    Have you ever thought of settling down in this town?
    你有沒有考慮過在這個鎮(zhèn)上定居?
    (2)表示“冒……危險”可以用 take the risk(of doing…)。
    (3)run after 表示“追趕”:
    On my way home, I saw a dog running after a cat.
    我在回家的路上看到一只狗在追一只貓。
    2.They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children…剛才,當(dāng)她和孩子們正在森林邊上野餐的時侯,這兩個人沖到她跟前……
    (1)up to可以表示地點、時間等“一直到……”:

    那孩子看到他的母親后便跑到她跟前。

    (2)at the edge of表示“在……的邊上”:
    The park lies at the edge of the town.
    公園位于鎮(zhèn)邊上。
    3.in one's possession, 為某人所有。
    也可以說 in the possession of sb.。這兩種意思相同,但是人稱代詞一般用前一種表達(dá)方式:
    The house used to be in my possession, but now it is in the possession of an old lady.

    She went through her bag, but she couldn't find her key.

    語法 Grammar in use
    動名詞(2)
    在第20課的語法中,我們學(xué)習(xí)了動名詞的形式和一般作用,知道它可以代替名詞作句子的主語、賓語、介詞賓語等,也學(xué)習(xí)了它的否定式和完成式:
    Washing the car made me tired.
    擦洗汽車使我很累。(主語)
    I enjoy reading.
    我喜愛讀書。(賓語)
    Before leaving the office, he gave me a book.
    他離開辦公室之前給了我一本書。(介詞賓語)
    (1)動名詞還可以用于動詞+介詞之后:
    We are looking forward to his coming.
    我們盼望著他的到來。
    (2)在start,begin, continue等后面,既可以用不定式又可以用動名詞,區(qū)別不大:
    I began to learn/ learning English two years ago.
    我兩年前開始學(xué)英語。
    (3)在love,like,prefer等動詞后面,用不定式和動名詞意義有所區(qū)別。帶不定式時常表示特定的未來的事件(如正準(zhǔn)備做某事或建議做某事),帶動名詞形式時則表示目前正在進行中的活動或一般的行為。在prefer…to…結(jié)構(gòu)中則只能用動名詞:
    I'd like to watch TV.
    我(現(xiàn)在)想看電視。(特定)
    I like watching TV.
    我喜歡看電視。(一般行為)
    (4)在need,want之后,動名詞形式具有被動的含義,相當(dāng)于被動的不定式:
    The windows need cleaning.
    這些窗子該擦了。(=need to be cleaned)
    His shirt needs washing.
    他的襯衣該洗了。
