Lesson 15 Good news
    課文內(nèi)容:
    The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. ‘Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. ‘Don't interrupt,' he Said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra &100 a year!
    精講筆記:
    4.After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad.
    在我坐下后,他告訴我生意不太景氣。
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 此句中after引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。had sat down是過(guò)去的過(guò)去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2 主句he said that..,變成直接引語(yǔ)為:he said,“Business is very bad.”
    5.He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.
    他告訴我說(shuō),公司現(xiàn)在無(wú)力支付這么巨額的工資。
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 此句中包含典型的間接引語(yǔ),that引導(dǎo)的間接引語(yǔ)為賓語(yǔ)從句。'
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2 pay such large salaries = pay such high salaries 支付如此巨額的工資
    6.Twenty people had already left.
    有20個(gè)人已經(jīng)被迫離開(kāi)了公司。
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn) already意為“已經(jīng)”,該詞經(jīng)常與完成時(shí)態(tài)連用,強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)果:Have you finished your composition already?你已經(jīng)完成作文了嗎?
