    新概念英語第二冊Lesson49課文詳注
    1.Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. 德黑蘭的一個(gè)年輕人由于對睡地板感到厭倦,于是積蓄多年買了一張真正的床。
    (1)tired引導(dǎo)的分詞短語省略了開頭的being,其作用相當(dāng)于原因狀語從句:As he was tired of…。sleeping為動名詞,作介詞of的賓語。
    (2)save up為固定短語,表示“儲蓄”、“攢錢”:
    I want to get married in one or two years, so I'm trying to save(some money)up.
    我想一兩年之間內(nèi)結(jié)婚,所以我在設(shè)法攢錢。
    (3)to在這里用于表示目的,相當(dāng)于in order to:
    I got up early to have a swim.
    為了游泳我起了個(gè)大早。
    2.…h(huán)e carried the bed on to the roof of his house.……他便把床搬到了他的屋頂上。
    介詞onto可拼寫成一個(gè)詞,也可拼寫成兩個(gè)詞(on to)。它用于表示動作方向而不用于表示靜態(tài)的位置(與into相似):
    I put the pen onto/ on the table.
    我把筆放到桌子上。
    The pen is on the table.
    筆在桌子上。(不可用onto/ on to)onto/ on to有時(shí)可用on代替,但表示位置的on不可用onto代替:
    Mr. Thompson jumped onto the stage.
    湯普森先生跳上了臺上。
    Mr. Thompson jumped on the stage.
    湯普森先生在臺上跳了跳。
    3.A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof…一陣大風(fēng)把床從屋頂上刮了下來……
    gust表示“一陣強(qiáng)風(fēng)”、“一陣狂風(fēng)”,既可以單獨(dú)使用,也可以用a gust of wind形式:
    A gust(of wind) blew my hat off.
    一陣大風(fēng)吹掉了我的帽子。
    She set off even though the wind was blowing in gusts.
    雖然當(dāng)時(shí)陣陣狂風(fēng)吹著,她還是出發(fā)了。
    4.The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.那年輕人直到床撞到地上才醒了過來。
    not…until表示“直到……才”。until后面與表示某一點(diǎn)的時(shí)間狀語連用。它前面沒有not時(shí),與表示一段時(shí)間的“持續(xù)動詞”連用;有not時(shí),常用表示某一時(shí)間點(diǎn)的動詞(或叫瞬間動詞)連用:
    I'll stay here until Monday.
    我要在這兒呆到星期一。
    I won't leave until Monday.
    我要到星期一才離開。
    5.to pieces, 粉碎地,成碎片地。
    The cup was broken to pieces.
    杯子摔成了碎片。
    6.Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man…
    年輕人看了一眼周圍的碎木片和碎金屬片……
    (1)glancing為現(xiàn)在分詞,它引導(dǎo)的短語相當(dāng)于一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句:After he glanced at…
    (2)動詞glance的主要含義為“看一眼”、“掃視”:
    Ian glanced at his watch and left the room.
    伊恩看了一眼手表,然后離開了房間。
    Joe glanced through the newspaper while talking to me.
    喬一邊和我聊天,一邊瀏覽報(bào)紙。
    (3)that引導(dǎo)的關(guān)系從句修飾the bits of wood and metal, that在從句中作主語。

    1.I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.近我作了短途旅行,但這次旅行所花費(fèi)的時(shí)間比我預(yù)計(jì)的要長。
    (1)go on在這里的含義為“為(某一目的)而去”:
    I'll go on holiday next month.
    我下個(gè)月去度假。
    Did you go on a trip last month?
    你上個(gè)月去旅行了嗎?
    (2)take在句中的含義為“花費(fèi)(時(shí)間)”。take表示此含義時(shí),主語通常不用人,而用某件事,并常用帶先行主語it的結(jié)構(gòu):
    It took me half an hour to walk to the station/to repair the bicycle.
    走到車站/修理自行車花了我半個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間。
    2.I'll tell you where to get off.我會告訴您在哪兒下車。
    (1)where to get off是一個(gè)“連接副詞+不定式短語”結(jié)構(gòu),其中的連接副詞通常為疑問副詞。這種結(jié)構(gòu)接近一個(gè)名詞從句,常
    在tell, show, know, decide, teach, learn, wonder,
    remember, explain等動詞后作賓語:
    Did Mary tell you when to come?
    瑪麗告訴你什么時(shí)候來了嗎?
    Do you know how to open the box?
    你知道如何打開這盒子嗎?
    He didn't tell me where to put those books.
    他沒有告訴我把那些書放在哪里。
    (2)get off與 get on為一對反義詞,分別表示“(從汽車等上)下來”和“登上(汽車、火車等)”,off與on既可以作副詞又可以作介詞:
    No one got on/ off(the bus)at the last bus stop.
    在上個(gè)公共汽車站沒有人上/下車。
    3.I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside.我坐在汽車的前部,以便飽覽農(nóng)村風(fēng)光。

    I don't like to sit in the front of a car.
    我不喜歡坐在汽車的前座上。
    There is a ship in the front of the photo.
    這張照片的前景中有條船。
    in front of則表示“在……前面”,兩者間往往有距離:
    He stopped his car in front of a school.
    他把車停在一個(gè)學(xué)校前面。
    (2)不定式短語to get…在句子中作目的狀語。(cf.第49課語法)
    4.This is as far as we go.我們的車就到此為止了。
    as far as表示“到……程度/限度”、“就……的限度而言”:
    As far as I know, they haven't returned from abroad.
    就我所知,他們還沒有從國外回來。
    This is as far as I can help you.
    我所能幫你的僅止于此。
    5.I forgot to put you off.我忘了讓您下車了。
    put off的含義之一是“讓……下車(或飛機(jī)、船等)”:

    他們讓我在一個(gè)小站下了車。
    6.Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus.好吧,既然如此,我還是留在車上吧。
    (1)well單獨(dú)使用時(shí)通常為感嘆詞,有時(shí)表示同意、順從、躊躇等情感,有時(shí)則僅起連接作用,相當(dāng)于漢語的“嗯”、“噢”、“喔”等。
    (2)in that/this case表示“既然是這/那樣”、“假使那/這樣的話”:
    Is he one of your best friends? In that/this case, you may invite him.
    他是你好的朋友之一嗎?既然如此,你可以邀請他。
    新概念英語第二冊Lesson51課文詳注
    1.…but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet.……但是近來情況變得越發(fā)糟糕,以致他決定節(jié)食。
    (1)things(要用復(fù)數(shù)形式)可以表示“情況”、“情形”、“狀況”、“形勢”等含義:
    You've surely made things worse.
    你確實(shí)使情況變得更糟了。
    How are things going on with you?
    你那里情況如何?
    (2)get作不及物動詞時(shí)可以表示“變得”:
    I got interested in French.
    我(變得)對法語感興趣了。
    I got angry with him.
    我(變得)對他很生氣。
    (3)diet用于表示治療某種疾病或調(diào)節(jié)體重的“特種飲食”、“規(guī)定飲食”時(shí)通常與on連用:

    醫(yī)生讓他嚴(yán)格控制飲食。
    She is on a diet.
    她正在節(jié)食。
    I once went on a diet for a week and then I gave up.

    2.First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.首先,他開列了一張長長的單子,上面列了所有禁吃的食物。
    (1)first of all為固定短語,表示“首先”、“第一”:
    First of all I must see your passport.
    首先我必須看一下你的護(hù)照。
    (2)write out這個(gè)短語表示“(正式)寫”、“寫出”或“全部寫出”:
    You should write out a report.
    你應(yīng)該寫一份報(bào)告。
    3.The list included most of the things Hugh loves…這張單子上的大多數(shù)食物都是休喜歡吃的……
    It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
    里面裝了5大塊巧克力和3袋糖果!
    include和contain都有“包含”的意思,但contain可以用于表示所包含的全部事物,include則只表示其中的一部分:
    It included three bags of sweets.
    其中有3袋糖果。(另外還有其他東西)
    contain的主語通常為某個(gè)容器,include則含義更廣:
    Does the bill include a tip?
    賬單包括小費(fèi)嗎?
    We're including you in our team.
    我們把你列為我們隊(duì)中的一員了。
    4.Yesterday I paid him a visit.昨天我去看望了他。

    I paid a visit to Jane the other day.
    前幾天我去看望了簡。
    5.…Hugh was still as fat as ever.……休仍和往常一樣胖。
    as ever是as he ever was的省略形式。as…as ever這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)表示“照舊”、“依然”:
    He is as strong as ever.
    他依然那么強(qiáng)壯。
    6.It was obvious that he was very embarrassed.顯然他感到很尷尬。
    it為先行主語,真正的句子主語是that引導(dǎo)的從句,它在句子中起名詞的作用。從句作主語時(shí)通常前面用先行主語it,以免句子看上去頭重腳輕:
    It is certain now that he'll come on Monday.
    現(xiàn)在可以肯定他星期一將會來。
