【課文】
First listen and then answer the question.
聽(tīng)錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
Where was the station's Commanding Officer?
A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby. He informed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery. The officer in the control tower was very angry when he heard the news, because balloons can be a great danger to aircraft. He said that someone might be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object. The pilot managed to circle the balloon for some time. He could make out three men in a basket under it and one of them was holding a pair of binoculars. When the balloon was over the station, the pilot saw one of the men taking photographs. Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airfield. The police were called in, but they could not arrest anyone, for the basket contained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station! As the Commanding Officer explained later, one half of the station did not know what the other half was doing!

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】
1. A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby.
一個(gè)飛行員發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只氣球，它像是正飛往附近的一個(gè)皇家空軍基地。
我們來(lái)分析一下這個(gè)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
主語(yǔ)：A pilot
謂語(yǔ)：noticed
賓語(yǔ)：a balloon
后面的which seemed...這是個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，整個(gè)從句修飾賓語(yǔ)balloon。
seem to be doing seem接不定式的進(jìn)行式，表示“似乎正在進(jìn)行某事”，make for 固定短語(yǔ)，表示“走向，飛向”此外，還可表示“有助于;導(dǎo)致”。
例句： He seems to be waiting for somebody.
他似乎在等什么人。
2. He informed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery.
他馬上把情況報(bào)告了該基地，但那里的人沒(méi)有一個(gè)能解釋這到底是怎么回事。
①inform v. 通知，告訴，報(bào)告
inform不能接雙賓語(yǔ)，比如inform sb. sth這種用法是錯(cuò)誤的，正確的表達(dá)是inform sb. of sth.例如：
She hasn't informed me of her new number.
她還沒(méi)告訴我新的電話號(hào)碼。
inform sb. that/wh-… 告知某人 inform后面的sb.不能省略。比如：
The headmaster informed us that the sports meeting will be held next Monday.
校長(zhǎng)通知大家下周一舉行運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)。
②be able to和can的區(qū)別
a. can/could表示能力;可能(過(guò)去時(shí)用could)，只用于現(xiàn)在式和過(guò)去式(could)，而be able to可用于各種時(shí)態(tài)。
When he comes, he will be able to tell you the truth.
等他來(lái)了就能告訴你事實(shí)真相了。(這個(gè)句子里不能用can或could代替)
b. 只能用be able to的情形
位于助動(dòng)詞后;情態(tài)動(dòng)詞后;表示過(guò)去某時(shí)刻的動(dòng)作時(shí);用于句首表?xiàng)l件;表示成功做成某事只能用was/were able to，不能用could。例如：
The leading actor was able to get out of the house before it exploded.
=The leading actor managed to get out of the house before it exploded.
在房子爆炸之前，男主角成功逃離。
c. can表示“能力”時(shí)是指現(xiàn)在的能力，過(guò)去或?qū)?lái)的能力通常用was/were able to或will/shall be able to表示。
My little nephew was able to go school by himself.
我的小侄子能自己去學(xué)校。
I can read the English newspapers.
我能讀懂這份英文報(bào)紙。
3. because balloons can be a great danger to aircraft.
因?yàn)闅馇蛴锌赡芙o飛機(jī)造成極大的危險(xiǎn)。
①can be... 這里是指一種可能性，can表示可能性時(shí)多指一般性或理論上的可能性，而不是某種實(shí)際上將要發(fā)生或正在發(fā)生的可能性，也就是說(shuō)，can通常不用來(lái)表示某種實(shí)際發(fā)生的可能性或真實(shí)性，
當(dāng)我們要表達(dá)發(fā)生某事的實(shí)際可能性時(shí)通常用could(或may，might)。比如：
Accoring to the weather forecast, it could rain this afternoon.
根據(jù)天氣預(yù)報(bào)，今天下午可能會(huì)下雨。
Even experts can make mistakes.
即使是專家也可能會(huì)出差錯(cuò)。
may/might/could也可表示在說(shuō)話時(shí)某事可能是真的，比如：
You might be right.
可能你是對(duì)的。
②danger
danger既可作不可數(shù)名詞 表示危險(xiǎn)，也可作可數(shù)名詞表示危險(xiǎn)物(或人)，威脅。比如：
Nowadays, greenhouse effect is a great danger to ecosystem.
現(xiàn)在，溫室效應(yīng)成為生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的一大威脅。
常用短語(yǔ)：
in danger of 有……的危險(xiǎn) in danger 處在危險(xiǎn)中 danger area 危險(xiǎn)區(qū);危險(xiǎn)領(lǐng)域
③aircraft 常用作集體名詞，也可指一架飛機(jī)，所以其復(fù)數(shù)形式也是aircraft，其含義包括直升機(jī)和飛艇等。
4. He said that someone might be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object.
他說(shuō)可能有人正對(duì)基地進(jìn)行偵察，因此命令那個(gè)飛行員跟蹤那個(gè)奇怪的飛行物。
①might be doing 表示對(duì)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作的推測(cè)。
②spy on sth. 暗中監(jiān)視，窺探
spy既可作名詞，表示“間諜，偵探，偵察”，也可作動(dòng)詞表示“偵探，監(jiān)視，看到，找出” spy into 偵查
He was expelled from the country for spying on their naval bases.
他因刺探該國(guó)海軍基地的情報(bào)而被驅(qū)逐出境。
③keep track of 在這里表示“跟蹤”，還可表示“跟上……的進(jìn)度;記錄”
5. He could make out three men in a basket under it...
他看清了氣球下面有3個(gè)人呆在一只筐里……
make out 固定短語(yǔ)，表示“(勉強(qiáng))看出，辨認(rèn)出，聽(tīng)出”
Can you make out who is singing on the stage?
你能看清楚舞臺(tái)上是誰(shuí)在歌唱嗎?
make out還可表示“寫出，填寫;起草”，相當(dāng)于是write out。
She made out a long shopping list after an hour.
一個(gè)小時(shí)后，她列出了一張長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的購(gòu)物單。
6. Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airfield.

《新概念英語(yǔ)》92課: Asking for trouble 自找麻煩
【課文】
First listen and then answer the question.
聽(tīng)錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
Why did the policeman ask the writer to come to the police station?
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.
'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'
'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see. I've forgotten my key.'
'Your what?' he called.
'My key,' I shouted.
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
【課文翻譯】
我回到家時(shí)，肯定已是凌晨?jī)牲c(diǎn)左右了。我按響了門鈴，試圖喚醒我的妻子，但她睡得很熟。于是，我從花園的小棚里搬來(lái)了一個(gè)梯子，把它靠在墻邊，開(kāi)始向臥室的窗口爬去?？煲赖酱翱跁r(shí)，下面一個(gè)人用諷刺的口吻說(shuō)：“我看不必在夜里這個(gè)時(shí)候擦窗子吧?！蔽蚁蛳旅婵慈?。當(dāng)我看清是一個(gè)警察時(shí)，差一點(diǎn)兒從梯子上掉下去。我回答了他的話，但馬上又后悔不該那樣說(shuō)，我是這樣說(shuō)的：“我喜歡在夜里擦窗子?！?BR> “我也是的，”警察用同樣的聲調(diào)回答，“請(qǐng)?jiān)徫掖驍嗔四?。?dāng)一個(gè)人在忙著干活時(shí)，我是不愿意去打斷他的，但請(qǐng)您跟我到警察局去一趟好嗎?”
“可我更愿意呆在這兒，”我說(shuō)，“您瞧，我忘帶鑰匙了。”
“什么?”他大聲問(wèn)。
“鑰匙!”我喊道。
幸運(yùn)得很，這喊聲驚醒了我的妻子。就在警察開(kāi)始向我爬上來(lái)時(shí)，她打開(kāi)了窗子。
【生詞匯總】
fast adv. 熟(睡)
ladder n. 梯子
shed n. 棚子
sarcastic adj. 諷刺的，譏笑的
tone n. 語(yǔ)氣，腔調(diào)
【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】
1. Ask for trouble, 自找麻煩，自討苦吃 (多用于口語(yǔ))
You shouldn't have been so rude to her. You are asking for trouble.
你不該對(duì)她那么粗魯。你這是自討苦吃。
2. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden我按響了門鈴，試圖喚醒我的妻子，但她睡得很熟。于是，我從花園的小棚里搬來(lái)了一個(gè)梯子
(1) she was fast asleep 這里的 fast 是副詞“熟(睡)”
He is fast(=soundly) asleep. 他睡熟了。
(2)by….以某種方式
She earned money by writiong, 她靠寫作賺錢。
3. I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.我看不必在夜里這個(gè)時(shí)候擦窗子吧。
句子結(jié)構(gòu)：主從復(fù)合句， think 后面為賓語(yǔ)從句，省略了關(guān)聯(lián)詞that
(1)有些動(dòng)詞如think，believe，expect，suppose等后接表示否定意思的賓語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，通常在主句中使用否定形式，但譯成漢語(yǔ)時(shí)否定意義仍在賓語(yǔ)從句中。我們一般不說(shuō) I think Mary won’t come this evening,而說(shuō)I don’t think Mary will come this evening。
(2)need cleaning的含義相當(dāng)于need to be cleaned。Need表示“需要”時(shí)，后面接的動(dòng)名詞有被動(dòng)含義

regret 后接動(dòng)名詞形式與不定式形式的含義不同。
regret to do 對(duì)要做的事遺憾?！ ?未做)
regret doing 對(duì)做過(guò)的事遺憾、后悔?！ ?已做)
I regret to have to do this, but I have no choice.
我很遺憾必須這樣去做，我實(shí)在沒(méi)有辦法。
I don't regret telling her what I thought.
我不為告訴她我的想法而后悔。
5. 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.
“我喜歡在夜里擦窗子?！?BR> “我也是的，”警察用同樣的聲調(diào)回答
(1)句子分析，該結(jié)構(gòu)主要用來(lái)說(shuō)明前面所說(shuō)的情況也同樣適用于后面的人或物，意為“……也一樣”。 該結(jié)構(gòu)中的助動(dòng)詞 do 根據(jù)前文的情況也可換成 is, am, are, was, were, does, did, can, could 等。
He reads a lot and so do I. 他讀得書(shū)很多，我也是。
但是如果前面所述情況為否定式，則用neither, nor引出倒裝句(此時(shí)不能用so)。如：
He couldn’t do it, and neither could she. 他做不了這事，她也做不了。
He never comes late. Nor do I. 他從不遲到，我也從不遲到。
(2)So I do
該結(jié)構(gòu)主要用于加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣，其意為“的確如此、確實(shí)如此”，表示后者贊同前者的話或意見(jiàn)，只是進(jìn)一步強(qiáng)調(diào)并重復(fù)前句所述的內(nèi)容。該結(jié)構(gòu)中的助動(dòng)詞 do 根據(jù)前文的情況也可換成 is, am, are, was, were, does, did, can, could 等。
—He went to see his friend yesterday. 他昨天去看朋友了。

6. 'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'“請(qǐng)?jiān)徫掖驍嗔四?。?dāng)一個(gè)人在忙著干活時(shí)，我是不愿意去打斷他的，但請(qǐng)您跟我到警察局去一趟好嗎?
(1) Excuse my interrupting you. 向正在工作或正在說(shuō)話的人說(shuō)話時(shí)的表達(dá)方式。
祈使句 Excuse one’s doing。原諒(某人的行為)
(2)hate to do/hate doing憎恨做某事

Where was the Statue of Liberty made?
One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.

First listen and then answer the question.
聽(tīng)錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
Where was the station's Commanding Officer?
A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby. He informed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery. The officer in the control tower was very angry when he heard the news, because balloons can be a great danger to aircraft. He said that someone might be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object. The pilot managed to circle the balloon for some time. He could make out three men in a basket under it and one of them was holding a pair of binoculars. When the balloon was over the station, the pilot saw one of the men taking photographs. Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airfield. The police were called in, but they could not arrest anyone, for the basket contained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station! As the Commanding Officer explained later, one half of the station did not know what the other half was doing!

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】
1. A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby.
一個(gè)飛行員發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只氣球，它像是正飛往附近的一個(gè)皇家空軍基地。
我們來(lái)分析一下這個(gè)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
主語(yǔ)：A pilot
謂語(yǔ)：noticed
賓語(yǔ)：a balloon
后面的which seemed...這是個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，整個(gè)從句修飾賓語(yǔ)balloon。
seem to be doing seem接不定式的進(jìn)行式，表示“似乎正在進(jìn)行某事”，make for 固定短語(yǔ)，表示“走向，飛向”此外，還可表示“有助于;導(dǎo)致”。
例句： He seems to be waiting for somebody.
他似乎在等什么人。
2. He informed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery.
他馬上把情況報(bào)告了該基地，但那里的人沒(méi)有一個(gè)能解釋這到底是怎么回事。
①inform v. 通知，告訴，報(bào)告
inform不能接雙賓語(yǔ)，比如inform sb. sth這種用法是錯(cuò)誤的，正確的表達(dá)是inform sb. of sth.例如：
She hasn't informed me of her new number.
她還沒(méi)告訴我新的電話號(hào)碼。
inform sb. that/wh-… 告知某人 inform后面的sb.不能省略。比如：
The headmaster informed us that the sports meeting will be held next Monday.
校長(zhǎng)通知大家下周一舉行運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)。
②be able to和can的區(qū)別
a. can/could表示能力;可能(過(guò)去時(shí)用could)，只用于現(xiàn)在式和過(guò)去式(could)，而be able to可用于各種時(shí)態(tài)。
When he comes, he will be able to tell you the truth.
等他來(lái)了就能告訴你事實(shí)真相了。(這個(gè)句子里不能用can或could代替)
b. 只能用be able to的情形
位于助動(dòng)詞后;情態(tài)動(dòng)詞后;表示過(guò)去某時(shí)刻的動(dòng)作時(shí);用于句首表?xiàng)l件;表示成功做成某事只能用was/were able to，不能用could。例如：
The leading actor was able to get out of the house before it exploded.
=The leading actor managed to get out of the house before it exploded.
在房子爆炸之前，男主角成功逃離。
c. can表示“能力”時(shí)是指現(xiàn)在的能力，過(guò)去或?qū)?lái)的能力通常用was/were able to或will/shall be able to表示。
My little nephew was able to go school by himself.
我的小侄子能自己去學(xué)校。
I can read the English newspapers.
我能讀懂這份英文報(bào)紙。
3. because balloons can be a great danger to aircraft.
因?yàn)闅馇蛴锌赡芙o飛機(jī)造成極大的危險(xiǎn)。
①can be... 這里是指一種可能性，can表示可能性時(shí)多指一般性或理論上的可能性，而不是某種實(shí)際上將要發(fā)生或正在發(fā)生的可能性，也就是說(shuō)，can通常不用來(lái)表示某種實(shí)際發(fā)生的可能性或真實(shí)性，
當(dāng)我們要表達(dá)發(fā)生某事的實(shí)際可能性時(shí)通常用could(或may，might)。比如：
Accoring to the weather forecast, it could rain this afternoon.
根據(jù)天氣預(yù)報(bào)，今天下午可能會(huì)下雨。
Even experts can make mistakes.
即使是專家也可能會(huì)出差錯(cuò)。
may/might/could也可表示在說(shuō)話時(shí)某事可能是真的，比如：
You might be right.
可能你是對(duì)的。
②danger
danger既可作不可數(shù)名詞 表示危險(xiǎn)，也可作可數(shù)名詞表示危險(xiǎn)物(或人)，威脅。比如：
Nowadays, greenhouse effect is a great danger to ecosystem.
現(xiàn)在，溫室效應(yīng)成為生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的一大威脅。
常用短語(yǔ)：
in danger of 有……的危險(xiǎn) in danger 處在危險(xiǎn)中 danger area 危險(xiǎn)區(qū);危險(xiǎn)領(lǐng)域
③aircraft 常用作集體名詞，也可指一架飛機(jī)，所以其復(fù)數(shù)形式也是aircraft，其含義包括直升機(jī)和飛艇等。
4. He said that someone might be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object.
他說(shuō)可能有人正對(duì)基地進(jìn)行偵察，因此命令那個(gè)飛行員跟蹤那個(gè)奇怪的飛行物。
①might be doing 表示對(duì)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作的推測(cè)。
②spy on sth. 暗中監(jiān)視，窺探
spy既可作名詞，表示“間諜，偵探，偵察”，也可作動(dòng)詞表示“偵探，監(jiān)視，看到，找出” spy into 偵查
He was expelled from the country for spying on their naval bases.
他因刺探該國(guó)海軍基地的情報(bào)而被驅(qū)逐出境。
③keep track of 在這里表示“跟蹤”，還可表示“跟上……的進(jìn)度;記錄”
5. He could make out three men in a basket under it...
他看清了氣球下面有3個(gè)人呆在一只筐里……
make out 固定短語(yǔ)，表示“(勉強(qiáng))看出，辨認(rèn)出，聽(tīng)出”
Can you make out who is singing on the stage?
你能看清楚舞臺(tái)上是誰(shuí)在歌唱嗎?
make out還可表示“寫出，填寫;起草”，相當(dāng)于是write out。
She made out a long shopping list after an hour.
一個(gè)小時(shí)后，她列出了一張長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的購(gòu)物單。
6. Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airfield.

【課文】
First listen and then answer the question.
聽(tīng)錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
Why did the policeman ask the writer to come to the police station?
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.
'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'
'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see. I've forgotten my key.'
'Your what?' he called.
'My key,' I shouted.
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
【課文翻譯】
我回到家時(shí)，肯定已是凌晨?jī)牲c(diǎn)左右了。我按響了門鈴，試圖喚醒我的妻子，但她睡得很熟。于是，我從花園的小棚里搬來(lái)了一個(gè)梯子，把它靠在墻邊，開(kāi)始向臥室的窗口爬去?？煲赖酱翱跁r(shí)，下面一個(gè)人用諷刺的口吻說(shuō)：“我看不必在夜里這個(gè)時(shí)候擦窗子吧?！蔽蚁蛳旅婵慈?。當(dāng)我看清是一個(gè)警察時(shí)，差一點(diǎn)兒從梯子上掉下去。我回答了他的話，但馬上又后悔不該那樣說(shuō)，我是這樣說(shuō)的：“我喜歡在夜里擦窗子?！?BR> “我也是的，”警察用同樣的聲調(diào)回答，“請(qǐng)?jiān)徫掖驍嗔四?。?dāng)一個(gè)人在忙著干活時(shí)，我是不愿意去打斷他的，但請(qǐng)您跟我到警察局去一趟好嗎?”
“可我更愿意呆在這兒，”我說(shuō)，“您瞧，我忘帶鑰匙了。”
“什么?”他大聲問(wèn)。
“鑰匙!”我喊道。
幸運(yùn)得很，這喊聲驚醒了我的妻子。就在警察開(kāi)始向我爬上來(lái)時(shí)，她打開(kāi)了窗子。
【生詞匯總】
fast adv. 熟(睡)
ladder n. 梯子
shed n. 棚子
sarcastic adj. 諷刺的，譏笑的
tone n. 語(yǔ)氣，腔調(diào)
【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】

You shouldn't have been so rude to her. You are asking for trouble.
你不該對(duì)她那么粗魯。你這是自討苦吃。
2. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden我按響了門鈴，試圖喚醒我的妻子，但她睡得很熟。于是，我從花園的小棚里搬來(lái)了一個(gè)梯子
(1) she was fast asleep 這里的 fast 是副詞“熟(睡)”
He is fast(=soundly) asleep. 他睡熟了。
(2)by….以某種方式
She earned money by writiong, 她靠寫作賺錢。
3. I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.我看不必在夜里這個(gè)時(shí)候擦窗子吧。
句子結(jié)構(gòu)：主從復(fù)合句， think 后面為賓語(yǔ)從句，省略了關(guān)聯(lián)詞that
(1)有些動(dòng)詞如think，believe，expect，suppose等后接表示否定意思的賓語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，通常在主句中使用否定形式，但譯成漢語(yǔ)時(shí)否定意義仍在賓語(yǔ)從句中。我們一般不說(shuō) I think Mary won’t come this evening,而說(shuō)I don’t think Mary will come this evening。
(2)need cleaning的含義相當(dāng)于need to be cleaned。Need表示“需要”時(shí)，后面接的動(dòng)名詞有被動(dòng)含義

regret to do 對(duì)要做的事遺憾?！ ?未做)
regret doing 對(duì)做過(guò)的事遺憾、后悔?！ ?已做)

我很遺憾必須這樣去做，我實(shí)在沒(méi)有辦法。
I don't regret telling her what I thought.
我不為告訴她我的想法而后悔。
5. 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.
“我喜歡在夜里擦窗子?！?BR> “我也是的，”警察用同樣的聲調(diào)回答
(1)句子分析，該結(jié)構(gòu)主要用來(lái)說(shuō)明前面所說(shuō)的情況也同樣適用于后面的人或物，意為“……也一樣”。 該結(jié)構(gòu)中的助動(dòng)詞 do 根據(jù)前文的情況也可換成 is, am, are, was, were, does, did, can, could 等。
He reads a lot and so do I. 他讀得書(shū)很多，我也是。
但是如果前面所述情況為否定式，則用neither, nor引出倒裝句(此時(shí)不能用so)。如：
He couldn’t do it, and neither could she. 他做不了這事，她也做不了。
He never comes late. Nor do I. 他從不遲到，我也從不遲到。
(2)So I do
該結(jié)構(gòu)主要用于加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣，其意為“的確如此、確實(shí)如此”，表示后者贊同前者的話或意見(jiàn)，只是進(jìn)一步強(qiáng)調(diào)并重復(fù)前句所述的內(nèi)容。該結(jié)構(gòu)中的助動(dòng)詞 do 根據(jù)前文的情況也可換成 is, am, are, was, were, does, did, can, could 等。
—He went to see his friend yesterday. 他昨天去看朋友了。

(1) Excuse my interrupting you. 向正在工作或正在說(shuō)話的人說(shuō)話時(shí)的表達(dá)方式。
祈使句 Excuse one’s doing。原諒(某人的行為)
(2)hate to do/hate doing憎恨做某事

Where was the Statue of Liberty made?
One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.
