    課文詳注 Further notes on the text
    1.Where do you think you are?你認(rèn)為你現(xiàn)在是在哪兒?
    do you think 是用在特殊疑問句中的插入語,用來征詢見解或表達看法。因為句中插入語已經(jīng)是疑問式,主謂倒裝了,所以you are的位置不能再對調(diào)了。插入語一般是對句子加一些附加的解釋,在句子中作獨立成分。常用來作插入語的結(jié)構(gòu)有I hope, I think, I'm afraid, you know等。插入語可以位于句尾或句中,有時也可出現(xiàn)在疑問句中。
    2.must have been doing sth.,一定/準(zhǔn)是在做某事。
    這種結(jié)構(gòu)用來表示對過去正進行的事情的推測。下文中的can't have been是 can't have been driving的省略式,在意思上與must have been driving正相反。
    3.That's why I didn't see the sign.所以我才沒看見那牌子。
    why I didn't see the sign作is的表語從句,以why引導(dǎo)的從句用來解釋事情的原因。
    4.…you'd better take my advice!……你好還是聽從我的勸告吧!
    take one's advice是“聽從勸告”的意思。
    語法 Grammar in use
    表示猜測和推斷的情態(tài)助動詞must和can't(2)
    must與can't不僅能表達對現(xiàn)在和將來的猜測和推斷,而且能表達對過去的猜測和推斷——這時可用 must have been表示肯定的推斷,用can't have been(而不是mustn't have been)來表示否定的推斷,如后面跟進行時則表示對過去正在進行的動作的猜測。請看例句:
    You must have been driving at seventy miles an hour.
    你當(dāng)時肯定正以每小時70英里的速度行駛。
    I didn't see it. I must have been dreaming.
    我沒看見。我當(dāng)時一定是在胡思亂想吧。
    She can't have been 29.She must have been 36.
    她那時肯定不會是29歲,她一定36歲了。
    He can't have been reading. He must have been sleeping.
    他那時肯定不是在看書,他準(zhǔn)是在睡覺。
