    1.A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby. 一個飛行員發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只氣球,它像是正飛往附近的一個皇家空軍基地。
    (1)to be making for為不定式的進行式,表示正在進行的動作:
    They seem to be talking about something important.
    他們似乎正在談論某件重要的事情。
    She seems to be looking for somebody/something.
    她似乎正在找人/什么東西。
    (2)make for為固定短語,其含義之一為“(匆匆)走向”、“向……前進”:
    While the thief was making for his car, a policeman stopped him.
    當小偷匆勿走向他的汽車時,一位警察攔住了他。
    After leaving Calais, the ship made for Dover.
    離開加來后,那艘船便駛往多佛。
    2.He said that someone might be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object. 他說有可能有人正對基地進行偵察,因此命令那個飛行員跟蹤那個奇怪的飛行物。
    (1)might be doing sth.表示對正在進行的動作的推測(cf.第19課語法):
    What can Tom be doing in that room?
    湯姆會在那個房間里干什么呢?
    He might be reading/watching TV.
    他或許在看書/看電視。
    (2)keep track of 為固定短語,表示“追蹤”、“保持聯(lián)系”、“記錄”等(其反義詞為 lose track of):
    Keep track of the man wearing a grey hat. He looks suspicious to me.
    跟蹤那個戴頂灰帽子的人。我覺得他看上去可疑。

    她設法保持了與朋友們的聯(lián)系。
    3.He could make out three men in a basket under it…
    他看清了氣球下面有3個人呆在一只筐里……
    make out是固定短語,它在這里的含義是“(勉強)看出”、“辨認出”、“聽出”:

    在黑夜中,他只能看出有3個人在向他們走來。
    Can you make out what they are talking about?
    你能聽清他們在談什么嗎?
    I can't make out the boss's handwriting.
    我辨不出老板的字跡。

    新概念英語第二冊課文注釋Lesson92
    1.ask for trouble,自找麻煩,自討苦吃(多用于口語)。
    You shouldn't have been so rude to her. You are asking for trouble.
    你不該對她那么粗魯。你這是自找麻煩。
    The boss seems to be annoyed. To talk to him now is to ask for trouble.
    老板似乎在生氣?,F(xiàn)在找他談話是自討苦吃。
    2.I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night. 我看不必在夜里這個時侯擦窗子吧。
    (1)有些動詞如 think, believe,expect,suppose 等后面跟表示否定意思的賓語從句時,否定詞not 往往用在主句中,但譯成漢語時否定意義應在賓語從句中。我們一般不說 I think Mary won't come this evening,而說 I don't think Mary will come this evening。又如:
    I don't believe he is still in London.
    我相信他已不在倫敦。
    (2)need cleaning 的含義相當于 need to be cleaned。need 表示“需要”時,后面接的動名詞有被動的含義(cf.第44課語法):
    The strap needs mending.
    這提包帶需要修理。
    3.I immediately regretted answering in the way I did. 我立刻后悔不該那樣回答。
    regret 后面接動名詞形式與接不定式的含義不同。接動名詞形式表示對做過的事感到后悔,接不定式則表示對現(xiàn)在將發(fā)生的事感到遺憾或抱歉(cf.第41課課文詳注):
    I regretted saying it almost at once.
    我?guī)缀躐R上就后悔說了這話。
    We regret to inform you that you needn't come here next week.
    我們很遺憾地通知你下周不用來這兒了。
    與 regret 相似, remember,forget,stop 等動詞后面接不定式與接動名詞形式的意義有很大不同。 remember / forget+不定式指未來的動作(或從過去觀點看的“未來的”舉動):
    Remember to post the letters.
    要記著/別忘記去郵信。
    I remembered to post the letters.
    我記著去郵信了。(沒有忘記)
    Don't forget to ask Tom.
    別忘記去問湯姆。
    I forgot to ask Tom.
    我忘了去問湯姆。
    remember / forget+ 動名詞形式則指過去的動作(已發(fā)生過):
    I remember posting / having posted the letters.
    我記得已把信寄了。
    Have you forgotten meeting / having met her at a party?
    你忘記了曾在聚會上見過她嗎?
    stop+ 不定式指目的:
    On the way to the station I stopped to buy a paper.
    去車站的路上,我停下來買了一張報紙。
    stop+ 動名詞形式表示停下正在做的動作:
    When he told us the story, we just couldn't stop laughing.
    他給我們講故事時我們不禁都笑個不停。
