LESSON 47 A thirsty ghost
1.He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. 他告訴我有天夜里他怎么也睡不著,因為他聽到酒吧里傳來一陣奇怪的響聲。
coming為現(xiàn)在分詞,它引導(dǎo)的短語修飾noise,為賓語補(bǔ)足語。它也可以變?yōu)閺木浣Y(jié)構(gòu):a strange noise that came from the bar。在一些表示感覺的動詞如see,hear,feel,watch,notice 等之后,往往用賓語+賓語補(bǔ)足語這個結(jié)構(gòu),其賓語補(bǔ)足語既可以是不定式(通常不加to),也可以是現(xiàn)在分詞,兩者在意義上區(qū)別不大,現(xiàn)在分詞表示動作正在發(fā)生,不定式則表示動作發(fā)生了:
I heard someone knocking at the door.
我聽到有人正敲門。
I heard you sing this song yesterday.
昨天我聽到你唱這支歌。
2..…they were on in the morning.……早晨燈都亮著。
on為形容詞,表示“開著的”、“接通的”,其反義詞為off:
When he arrived home, he found that all the lights were on/ off.
他到家時發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的燈都亮著/關(guān)著。
Is the TV on? I thought I had turned it off.
電視機(jī)是開著的嗎?我以為我把它關(guān)掉了。
3.He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. 他還說他發(fā)現(xiàn)了5只空的威士忌酒瓶子,這肯定是鬼魂頭天晚上喝的
that引導(dǎo)的為間接引語,因此時間狀語要變動。直接引語中的時間狀語為 last night,轉(zhuǎn)述時變成了 the night before。其他時間狀語的變化有:now→then,two days ago→two days before/ earlier,today→that day,tonight→that night,tomorrow→the next/ following day,last night→the night before等。
4..…they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.……即使他把小酒店白送人,他們也不要。
(1)連詞 even if表示“即使”,它引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句含有很強(qiáng)的假定性:
I won't have dinner with him even if he pays for it.
即使是他付錢我也不和他一起吃飯。
(2)give away是個固定短語,其含義之一是“贈送”、“免費(fèi)給予”:
He gave all his books away to the library.
他把他所有的書都贈給了圖書館。
