他們似乎正在談?wù)撃臣匾氖虑椤?BR> She seems to be looking for somebody/something.

What can Tom be doing in that room?
湯姆會(huì)在那個(gè)房間里干什么呢?
He might be reading/watching TV.
他或許在看書/看電視。
(2)keep track of 為固定短語，表示“追蹤”、“保持聯(lián)系”、“記錄”等(其反義詞為 lose track of)：
Keep track of the man wearing a grey hat. He looks suspicious to me.
跟蹤那個(gè)戴頂灰帽子的人。我覺得他看上去可疑。

1.ask for trouble，自找麻煩，自討苦吃(多用于口語)。

你不該對她那么粗魯。你這是自找麻煩。

(1)有些動(dòng)詞如 think， believe，expect，suppose 等后面跟表示否定意思的賓語從句時(shí)，否定詞not 往往用在主句中，但譯成漢語時(shí)否定意義應(yīng)在賓語從句中。我們一般不說 I think Mary won't come this evening，而說 I don't think Mary will come this evening。又如：
I don't believe he is still in London.
我相信他已不在倫敦。

The strap needs mending.
這提包帶需要修理。
3.I immediately regretted answering in the way I did. 我立刻后悔不該那樣回答。
regret 后面接動(dòng)名詞形式與接不定式的含義不同。接動(dòng)名詞形式表示對做過的事感到后悔，接不定式則表示對現(xiàn)在將發(fā)生的事感到遺憾或抱歉(cf.第41課課文詳注)：
I regretted saying it almost at once.
我?guī)缀躐R上就后悔說了這話。

我們很遺憾地通知你下周不用來這兒了。
與 regret 相似， remember，forget，stop 等動(dòng)詞后面接不定式與接動(dòng)名詞形式的意義有很大不同。 remember / forget+不定式指未來的動(dòng)作(或從過去觀點(diǎn)看的“未來的”舉動(dòng))：
Remember to post the letters.
要記著/別忘記去郵信。
I remembered to post the letters.
我記著去郵信了。(沒有忘記)
Don't forget to ask Tom.
別忘記去問湯姆。
I forgot to ask Tom.
我忘了去問湯姆。
remember / forget+ 動(dòng)名詞形式則指過去的動(dòng)作(已發(fā)生過)：
I remember posting / having posted the letters.
我記得已把信寄了。
Have you forgotten meeting / having met her at a party?
你忘記了曾在聚會(huì)上見過她嗎?
stop+ 不定式指目的：
On the way to the station I stopped to buy a paper.
去車站的路上，我停下來買了一張報(bào)紙。
stop+ 動(dòng)名詞形式表示停下正在做的動(dòng)作：

他給我們講故事時(shí)我們不禁都笑個(gè)不停。
