新概念英語第2冊(cè)Lesson58課文詳注
1.The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a‘cursed tree’.據(jù)說弗林利這個(gè)小村里有一棵“該詛咒的樹”。
(1)主語+ be said+…這種結(jié)構(gòu)通常譯為“據(jù)說……”,是對(duì)不太有把握的事發(fā)表看法時(shí)一種謹(jǐn)慎的說法。(cf.本課語法)
(2)of在這里表示同位關(guān)系,如 the city of London/New York(倫敦/紐約市);at the age of twenty(20歲時(shí)); a height of three feet(3英尺的高度)。
2.…the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased.……現(xiàn)在來弗林利參觀的人越來越多。
the number of表示“……的數(shù)量/總數(shù)”,它作主語時(shí)謂語動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù),雖然visitors是復(fù)數(shù)。注意它與a number of(許多,若干)的區(qū)別:
The number of patients in this hospital has increased.
這家醫(yī)院的病人越來越多。
A number of patients have asked to see you.
許多病人要求見您。(動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式)
3.…it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation.……只是近幾年才得到了一個(gè)壞名聲。
句中的 it is…that是個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。如果我們想要強(qiáng)調(diào)某個(gè)詞或某個(gè)短語,我們可以用 it is/was+被強(qiáng)調(diào)的成分+that/ who(m)結(jié)構(gòu)。這樣組成的句子叫分裂句,因?yàn)閕t結(jié)構(gòu)把一個(gè)簡單句劈開,使其分裂成兩個(gè)分句。被強(qiáng)調(diào)的成分可以是主語、賓語、狀語等。課文中這句話強(qiáng) 調(diào)的是時(shí)間狀語。從簡單句到強(qiáng)調(diào)句變化如下:
Frank phoned Jack last night.
弗蘭克昨晚給杰克打了電話。(簡單句,沒有強(qiáng)調(diào)什么)
It was Frank who phoned Jack last night.
是弗蘭克昨晚給杰克打了電話。(強(qiáng)調(diào)是弗蘭克而不是別人打的電話)
It was Jack who (m) Frank phoned last night.
是杰克昨晚接到弗蘭克打來的電話。(強(qiáng)調(diào)電話是打給杰克而不是打給別人)
It was last night that Frank phoned Jack.
是昨天晚上弗蘭克給杰克打了電話。(強(qiáng)調(diào)是昨天晚上而不是其他時(shí)間)
4.It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if be picks a leaf, he will die.據(jù)說,誰要是觸摸了這棵樹,誰就會(huì)交上惡運(yùn);如果誰摘了一片樹葉,誰就會(huì)死去。
it是這個(gè)句子的先行主語,其真正主語是that引導(dǎo)的兩個(gè)條件句(都是第1類條件句),這兩個(gè)條件句在結(jié)構(gòu)上一樣。
5.…the tree has already claimed a number of victims.……此樹已經(jīng)害了不少人。
claim可以表示疾病、意外等“奪去(生命)”:
The accident claimed a few lives.
那次事故奪走了幾條人命。
6.The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused.人們?cè)?qǐng)求教區(qū)的牧師叫人把樹砍掉,但他直到現(xiàn)在也沒有同意。
(1)在 to have the tree cut down這個(gè)短語中, have表示“使……”,即叫別人完成某動(dòng)作,cut down為過去分詞短語。(cf.第66課語法)
(2)so far為固定短語,其含義之一為“迄今為止”,常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用:
He hasn't returned my books so far.
迄今為止他還沒有還我的書。
7.point out,指出。
這個(gè)短語可分開用:
I realized that he had made a mistake, so I pointed it out to him immediately。
我意識(shí)到他犯了個(gè)錯(cuò)誤,所以我立即就向他指了出來。
He pointed out that it was a mistake not to help them.
他指出不幫助他們是錯(cuò)誤的。
8.in spite of,盡管,雖然;不顧,不管。
He set off in spite of the heavy rain.
盡管下著大雨,他還是出發(fā)了。
In spite of what you have told me, I still believe(that) he has stolen the money.
雖然你對(duì)我說了這些,我還是認(rèn)為他偷了那筆錢。
9.So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!
然而到目前為止,還沒有一個(gè)人暴死呢!
(1)not one of them表示“一個(gè)人也沒有……”,其語氣比none of them或 no one要強(qiáng)。
(2)strike down為固定短語,在這里表示“使……生重病”、“殺死”(通常用被動(dòng)語態(tài)):
Many people were struck down in that war.
許多人在那場戰(zhàn)爭中死去了。
He was struck down by cancer last year.
他去年死于癌癥。

1.Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.每當(dāng)它想到花園里來時(shí),便汪汪叫個(gè)不停,直到有人把門打開。
every time在這里為連詞引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句,表示“每次”、“每當(dāng)”,主句中的would表示過去的習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作。用一般過去時(shí)的句子中它們經(jīng)常連用:
Every time we met, we would talk for a while.
我們每次見面都要聊一會(huì)兒。
Every time he came to the restaurant, he would first ask for a cup of tea.
他每次到這個(gè)飯館來,都是先要一杯茶。
2.…my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.……我丈夫花了幾個(gè)星期的時(shí)間訓(xùn)練它用腳爪按住門閂把自己放進(jìn)來。
(1)spend表示“在……上花時(shí)間”時(shí),后面如果跟名詞則用介詞on;如果跟動(dòng)名詞則用介詞in(在口語中in往往省略):
Why don't you spend more time on studies?
你為什么不在學(xué)習(xí)上再多花點(diǎn)時(shí)間呢?
I spent two weeks(in) reading this book.
我花了兩星期的時(shí)間讀這本書。
(2)train的賓語是him, to press…是賓語補(bǔ)足語,to let…為目的狀語。
3.Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.雷克斯很快成了開門的專家。
expert表示“做/干……的專家/高手”時(shí)后面通常用 at doing sth.;表示在某一領(lǐng)域是“專家”、“權(quán)威”時(shí)可用介詞in或on:
John is an expert at driving a car.
約翰是開車高手。
She is an expert in flowers.
她是花卉方面的專家。
Sam is an expert on that problem.
薩姆是研究那個(gè)問題的權(quán)威。
4.This time he was barking so that someone would let him out!這次它叫著讓人把它放出去!
連詞so that引導(dǎo)的是目的狀語從句。(cf.本課語法)
新概念英語第2冊(cè)Lesson60課文詳注
1.A relation of yours is coming to see you.您的一個(gè)親戚就要來看您了。
(1)a relation of yours為名詞的雙重所有格(cf.第10課語法):
a friend of my father's 我父親的一位朋友
a friend of mine 我的一個(gè)朋友
(2)句子中的現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)并不表示目前正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,而表示將要發(fā)生的事情。(cf.本課語法)
2.The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise.您一走出這個(gè)帳篷,就會(huì)大吃一驚。
連詞 the moment (that)與 as soon as含義一樣,表示“一……就”:
I'll phone you the moment I get the letter.
我一拿到信就給你打電話。
在這個(gè)連詞引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句中要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)來表示將來時(shí)。(cf.本課語法)
3.That is all.就是這些。
這是口語中常用的一句話,表示“完了”、“就這些”、“事情就是這樣”等含義:
He borrowed some money from me. That's all.
他向我借了些錢,而已。
4.…If forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me.……就把別林斯基夫人給我算卦的事忘得一干二凈了,因?yàn)槲业钠拮诱掖蚁蛭遗軄怼?BR> 與that is all中的 all一樣,這句話中的all也是代詞,表示“一切”、“全部”、“所有的事”,注意作主語時(shí)它被視為單數(shù):
All I can remember is her name.
我所記得的只是她的名字。
hurry towards sb. 表示“向某人匆匆走去”。
5.…we must be at the station to meet her.……我們得去車站接她。

(2)to meet her為表示目的的不定式。(cf.第 59課語法)
