It just remains for me to express our admiration.
Jules: Has everything been dealt with now?
Marcel: Yes, the casualties have all been taken to hospital, the electricity supply has been restored and traffic is now flowing normally.
Jules: What a difference from the chaos and confusion of two hours ago.
Marcel: Yes, for a time we thought we might have to call for reinforcements, but thank goodness in the end we didn't have to.
Jules: Well it just remains for me to express our admiration for the exemplary way in which you dealt with a difficult and dangerous situation.
Marcel: I was just doing my job and I'm very glad that there were no fatalities.
朱爾斯：現(xiàn)在一切都處理好了嗎？
馬塞爾：不錯，傷者都送去醫(yī)院，電力供應也恢復了。交通已經(jīng)回復正常。
朱爾斯：這和兩個鐘頭前混亂不堪的情況相比，完全不同了。
馬塞爾：是啊，初我們還以為可能需要增援，幸好后來發(fā)覺沒有這個必要。
朱爾斯：你處理危機的方式，真值得他人借鑒。我要向你表示我們的敬意。
馬塞爾： 我只是做好自己分內(nèi)的工作。值得高興的是沒有人死亡。
這一課有三個字可先談談：casualty、fatality、exemplary.Casualty可以指事故或戰(zhàn)爭中的傷者、死者、例如：The car crash resulted in eight casualties（那次車禍有八人死傷）。Fatality則專指事故或戰(zhàn)爭中的死者，例如：There were 174 fatalities in the plane crash（飛機墜毀，有一百七十四人死亡）。至于exemplary，可說是example的形容詞，指'可作模范的'，例如：His behavior as a student is exemplary（他的行為可作為其它學生的模范）。此外，請留意兩個時間詞組：for a time、in the end.For a time常用來說一件事維持了一段時間，暗示其后有變，例如：For a time he hesitated, but then he made up his mind（他初猶豫不決，但后來立定了主意）。For a time和for some time不同：for some time是說事情經(jīng)過一段頗長的時間，例如：I've been feeling unwell for some time（我身體不舒服已有一段時間）。In the end則有'終于'的意思，表示經(jīng)過某些情況之后，終于發(fā)生了一些事，等于at last或finally，例如：I worked hard, and in the end/at last/finally gained a first-class honors degree（我努力讀書，終于取得一級榮譽學位）。In the end和at the end不同：at the end指事情的盡頭，例如：He died at the end of the year（他年底去世）。這個at不可改為in，而in the end之后也不可接'of＋名詞'.馬塞爾初時以為要請求增援，后來發(fā)覺不必要，所以用了for a time、in the end兩個詞組。
