新概念英語第二冊第5課課文詳注 further notes on the text
1.pinhurst is only five miles from silbury, but mr. scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons.
平赫斯特離錫爾伯里只有5英里,但詹姆斯·斯科特先生未能為他新的汽車修理部搞到一部電話機,所以他買了12只鴿子。
(1)這句話由3個部分組成。but引導(dǎo)的句子與前面的句子為并列關(guān)系,so引導(dǎo)的句子表示結(jié)果。
(2)from 在這里表示距離上相隔,譯為"離"、"從"等:
the school is a mile (away) from my house.
學(xué)校離我家有一英里。
she has been away from home for 5 days now.
她離家已有5天了。
2.yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from pinhurst to silbury. 昨天,一只鴿子把第一封信從平赫斯特帶到錫爾伯里。
(1)from…to…表示從一個地方到另一個地方。如下文中的from one garage to the other。這個短語中順序比較重要,不能搞錯方向:
he flew from beijing to moscow.
他從北京坐飛機去莫斯科。
he looked at the girl from head to foot.
他把這姑娘從頭到腳打量了一下。
the news spread from house to house.
家家戶戶都得知了這條消息。
(2)message在這里的意思是"(口頭或書面的)信息"、"信":
an oral/ written message 口信/便條
hers is a message for you from your sister.
這是你姐姐/妹妹給你留的便條。
john has gone to his office. would you like to leave him a message?
約翰去辦公室了。你愿意給他留個口信嗎?
與message相關(guān)的另一個詞是 messenger,意為"送信人"、"信使"等。
3.up to now, mr. scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.
到目前為止,斯科特先生從一個汽車修理部向另一個發(fā)送了大量索取備件的信件和其他緊急函件。
(1)這句話看起來很長,但卻是個簡單句。sent有兩個賓語,一是requests,二是messages。from one garage to the other是整個句子的狀語。
(2)up to now相當(dāng)于until/till now,意思是"迄今"、"到目前為止",一般與現(xiàn)在完成時連用:
up to now, he has not been very hard-working.
到目前為止,他一直不是很用功。
up to now, he has collected a good number of stamps.
到目前為止,他已收集了許多郵票。
(3)request作名詞"要求"、"請求"講時,往往需要補充說明其內(nèi)容,如課文中 requests for spare parts(索取備件的信件)。
she sent a request for help to gary.
她向加里請求幫助。
he granted my request for more time.
他同意了我延長時間的請求。
(4)a great many在這句話中為形容詞短語。many單獨使用時前面不加a,但加了great/ good等形容詞后,前面要加 a
a great many trees were destroyed in the storm.
好多樹在這場暴風(fēng)雨中被毀壞了。
a great many還可以作代詞短語用:
he has read a great many of the books in this room.
這房間的書他好多都讀過了。
4.in this way, he has begun his own private'telephone' service.
就這樣,他開始了自己的私人"電話"業(yè)務(wù)。
(1)service作為不可數(shù)名詞時通常用于表示旅館、餐館以及商店等對旅客、顧客等的侍候、接待或服務(wù);它作為可數(shù)名詞時可以表示為幫助他人所采取的行動或所做的工作:
the service in that hotel is quite good.
那家旅館的服務(wù)很不錯。
you have done me a great service.
你幫了我很大的忙。
(2)在課文中,service的意思是"業(yè)務(wù)"、"公用事業(yè)"等。這類用法一般有: the mail service(郵政業(yè)務(wù)); the telephone service(電話業(yè)務(wù));a travel service(旅行社);a news service(通訊社)等??梢钥闯?,service既可以指公用事業(yè)的業(yè)務(wù),也可以指辦這些業(yè)務(wù)的機構(gòu)。因此,課文中的"' telephone'service"實際上是個大詞,有一種幽默感。

1.一般過去時與現(xiàn)在完成時
在表示過去某個特定時間發(fā)生的事情或動作時,要用一般過去時:
yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from pinhurst to silbury.
昨天,一只鴿子把第一封信從平赫斯特帶到錫爾伯里。
在表示剛剛或者已經(jīng)完成一個動作并且對現(xiàn)在有影響時,則要用現(xiàn)在完成時,時間狀語可以是不特指的now, just,或者是for引導(dǎo)的一段時間,或者不加任何時間狀語:
he has written a book.
他寫了一本書。
…now he has just bought another garage in pinhurst.
……現(xiàn)在他剛在平赫斯特買下了另一個汽車修理部。(現(xiàn)在擁有)
在一段文章中可以同時出現(xiàn)一般現(xiàn)在時、一般過去時和現(xiàn)在完成時。因此,要根據(jù)具體情況靈活運用這些時態(tài),體會它們之間的區(qū)別:
i have a brother, tom. he is an engineer. he has been abroad for three years now. several days ago, i received a letter from him.
我有一個弟弟,名叫湯姆。他是位工程師。他出國已3年了。幾天前我收到了一封他的來信。
2.帶way的一些短語
名詞way的用法很靈活,能組成不同的搭配:
(1)in the/ one's way, 妨礙(某人):
you are in my way.
你擋著我了。
don't stand in the way. i can't see the blackboard.
別擋著我的視線。我看不見黑板了。
(2) in the way, 按照,以……方式:
you can make the cake in the way i have told you.
你可以按我告訴你的方法做蛋糕。
(3) on the/ one's way, 在途中:
i met mary on my way to school.
我在去學(xué)校的路上遇到了瑪麗。
(4) by the way, 順便提一下(插入語,改變話題時使用):
by the way, have you met bill before?
順便問一下,你以前見過比爾嗎?
(5) in a way, 在某種程度上,從某種意義來說:
in a way you are right.
從某種意義上說你是對的。
