Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。
What was the Customs Officer looking for?
Customs Officers are quite tolerant these days, but they can still stop you when you are going through the Green Channel and have nothing to declare. Even really honest people are often made to feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. When I returned form abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.
'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye.
'No', I answered confidently.
'Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please?'
'Not at all,' I answered.
The Officer went through the case with great care. All the things I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up. He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.
'Perfume, eh?' he asked sarcastically. 'You should have declared that. Perfume is not exempt from import duty.'
'But it isn't perfume,' I said. 'It's hair gel.' Then I added with a smile, 'It's a strange mixture I make myself.'
As I expected, he did not believe me.
'Try it!' I said encouragingly.
The officer unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.參考譯文】
現(xiàn)在的海關(guān)官員往往相當(dāng)寬容。但是，當(dāng)你通過綠色通道，沒有任何東西需要申報時，他們?nèi)钥梢詳r住你。甚至是誠實的人也常弄得覺得有罪似的，而老練的職業(yè)走私犯卻使手提箱里藏著500只金表，卻也處之泰然。近，我也出國歸來，碰上一位特別好管閑事的年輕海關(guān)官員，他顯然把我當(dāng)成走私犯。
“您有什么需要申報的嗎？”他直盯著我的眼睛問。
“沒有?！蔽易孕诺鼗卮鹫f。
“請打開這只手提箱好嗎？”
“好的。”我回答說。
那位官員十分仔細地把箱子檢查了一遍。所有細心包裝好的東西一會兒工夫就亂成一團。我相信那箱子再也關(guān)不上了。突然，我看到官員臉上露出了得意的神色。他在我的箱底發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只小瓶，高興地一把抓了起來。
“香水，嗯？”他譏諷地說道，“你剛才應(yīng)該申報，香水要上進口稅的?！?BR> “不，這不是香水，”我說，“是發(fā)膠。”接著我臉帶微笑補充說：“這是一種我自己配制的奇特的混合物。”
“你就聞一聞吧！”我催促說。
海關(guān)官員擰開瓶蓋，把瓶子放到鼻子底下。一股怪味襲來，使他相信了我說的真話。幾分鐘后，我終于被放行，手提劃著寶貴的粉筆記號的行李，匆匆離去?！驹~匯講解】

1. Customs Officers are quite tolerant these days, but they can still stop you when you are going through the Green Channel and have nothing to declare.
quite tolerant
我們在運用形容詞、動詞時，往往需要用副詞來強調(diào)。
1) 表示"真正的" really
e.g. Even really honest people are often made to feel guilty.(文中的句子)
e.g. a really officious person
2) 強調(diào)"特別，尤其是" particularly e.g. a particularly officious young Customs Officer...(文中的句子)
3) 強調(diào)"絕對的" absolutely
4) 強調(diào)"完全的，徹底的" completely, entirely, fully, thoroughly
5) fairly----強調(diào)"一般般" e.g. a fairly good book
6) very ----語氣程度強烈"非常"
7) rather----語意程度接近fairly, 注意修飾形容詞和副詞，特別是形容詞同時修飾名詞時，不定冠詞的位置。e.g. a rather good book / rather a good book
e.g. rather too 稍微
8) quite----相當(dāng)，非常 e.g. ~ right / wrong / mistaken / sure 絕對不能用very替代。
the Green Channel = the Custom Office
2. Even really honest people are often made to feel guilty.
make, have, let 及感官性動詞see, hear, notice, feel 用于主動語態(tài)，符合賓語不定式的to符號應(yīng)該省略。但這種結(jié)構(gòu)改成被動式時，不定式符號必須還原。
e.g. We heard someone come up the stairs.
e.g. Someone was heard to come up the stairs.
3. The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase.
(On the one hand...,) on the other hand
e.g. On the one hand we could stay and help you, but on the other hand it might be better if you went to help him instead.
hidden in his suitcase,過去分詞短語作定語，修飾watches.
even if=even though
4. 'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye.
look me in the eye: 兩眼直盯盯的注視著我
同義詞：look sb. in the face, stare sb. in the eye = look directly at sb.
e.g. Not one of the men dared look him in the eye.
5. The Officer went through the case with great care.
with great care----強調(diào)相當(dāng)?shù)淖屑?全句相當(dāng)于The Officer examined the case carefully.

in a mess:亂作一團
介詞in 和名詞搭配，表示一種狀態(tài)

心情好： in a good mood
脾氣好： in a good temper7. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up.
light up:喜氣洋洋，容光煥發(fā)
e.g. Marsha's face lit up when she saw her old friend.
e.g. His face lighted up at the small triumph.
e.g. Tom really lighted up when he saw the new bicycle.
light有兩種過去分詞，過去式形式：lit, lighted

e.g. 一只被點燃的雪茄：a lighted cigar
e.g. 點燃的火炬： a lighted stick.
8. He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.
介詞短語－－with delight "欣喜若狂的"

should have 和過去分詞搭配，表示本應(yīng)該做某事卻沒有做，具有譴責(zé)性的味道。
e.g. You should have arrived here five minutes earlier.
e.g. You should have told me about it.
本不應(yīng)該做某事：shouldn't have done
exempt:免除的，被免除的 be exempt from

10. As I expected, he did not believe me. 'Try it!' I said encouragingly.
as----關(guān)系代詞， 引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。他所指代的內(nèi)容就是主句的整個句子的含義。
e.g.As we know, the earth is round. (眾所周知)
e.g. As Brian pointed out, ...（正如...所指出的）
e.g. As I mentioned,...(正如我提到的)
關(guān)系代詞as 和which的區(qū)別：

副詞形式：encouragingly
