For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again. 參考譯文 德黑蘭的一個年輕人由于對睡地板感到厭倦, 于是積蓄多年買了一張真正的床. 他平生第一次自豪地擁有了一張既有彈簧又帶床墊的床. 由于天氣很熱, 他便把床搬到了他的屋頂上. 頭兩天晚上, 他睡得非常好. 但第三天晚上起了風暴. 一陣大風把床從屋頂上刮了下來, 把它摔碎在下面的院子里. 那年輕人直到床撞到地上才醒了過來. 盡管床摔成了碎片, 但年輕人卻奇跡般地沒有受傷. 他醒來時, 仍然躺在床墊上. 年輕人看了一眼周圍的碎木片和碎金屬片, 傷心地撿起了床墊, 把它拿進了屋. 他把床墊往地板上一放, 很快又睡著了. 【課文講解】 1、Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. be tired of 對……感到厭倦，在這句話里省略了現在分詞being，用形容詞短語直接做原因狀語，其作用相當于原因狀語從句as he was tired of…。 I always go to bed hungry. （用形容詞直接做狀語） Worried about my daughter, Lucy, she went to London to visit Lucy. I went home. I am tired. => I went home tired I went home excited. save up 攢錢，儲蓄 I want to get married in one or two years, so I’m trying to save (some money) up. 2、For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. for the first time in one's life 平生第一次 He became the proud father of a baby. 我自豪的成為一個孩子的父親了. 3、Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. on to（onto） 類似與 in to（into），用于表示動作方向而不用于表示靜態的位置，不但有“去”的概念還有把它放到“on”（上面）的概念。onto/on to有時可用on代替，但表示位置的'on不可用onto代替： Lift sth. on to the cart. I put the pen onto/on the table. The pen is on the table. （不能用onto/on to） Mr. Thompson is jumped onto the stage. 湯普森先生跳上了臺上。 Mr. Thompson jumped on the stage. 湯普森先生在臺上跳了跳。 4、He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. for the first two nights 頭兩天晚上 I study hard for the first three days. for the last three nights 最后三天晚上 blow up 風越刮越大(程度在加深)，（指暴風雨）出現并加��；刮起 speak up 大聲點 5、A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. gust表示“一陣強風，一陣狂風”，既可單獨使用，也可用a gust of wind形式： A gust (of wind) blew my hat off. She set off even though the wind was blowing in gusts. 雖然當時陣陣狂風吹著，她還是出發了。 off = down/away from below 直接放在被修飾詞之后作定語 crashing into the courtyard below是現在分詞短語，作賓語補足語。crash （不及物動詞）直接用主動形式，smash（及物動詞）可用被動 一個句子中不能出現兩個動詞，如果出現了兩個動詞，要用and或but連接；或者把其中一個作為非謂語動詞to do(表目的)，-ed(表被動)，-ing(表主動)。 6、The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. not…until表示“直到……才”，until前面沒有not時，與表示一段時間的“持續動詞”連用；有not時，常用表示某一時間點的動詞（或瞬間動詞）連用： I’ll stay here until Monday. 我要在這兒呆到星期一。 I won’t leave until Monday. 我要到星期一才離開。 7、Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. although 盡管；though 雖然，意義差不多，以從句出現 to pieces 粉碎地，成碎片地 The cup was broken to pieces. 8、Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. glancing為現在分詞，引導的短語相當于一個時間狀語從句after he glanced at…。動詞的ing形式一定強調某一個名詞之間的主動關系。 glance v. 看一眼，掃視 Joe glanced through the newspaper while talking to me. 喬一邊和我聊天，一邊瀏覽報紙。 bits = pieces lie (lay，lain) 不及物動詞，后面一定要加“around”，不能說成“lay him” 【letter writing】 大多數書信都以“dear”開頭，后接姓名，“dear”這個詞一定要在信紙的左手邊頂格。第二行如要退格是退5個字符, 現在西方都是頂格寫。 【Key structures】 復合句的語序 復合句可用兩種方法構成：一是用連詞把從句與主句連接起來；二是用分詞結構或不定式。 1、用連詞連接的復合句 ① 在復合句中，從句可以是名詞從句（即起名詞的作用）。在句子中，它可以作主語、賓語或be等系動詞的表語，一般由that引導，有時也用what（疑問詞引導的除外） I know (that) the meeting will be put off. ② 從句可以是關系（或形容詞）從句，關系代詞通常有who，whom，that，which和whose。 ③ 從句可以是狀語（或副詞）從句，時間狀語連詞有when，after，before，as soon as，until，while，as，since等；地點狀語從句連詞有where，everywhere，anywhere等；方式狀語從句連詞有as或短語in the way (that)等，方式狀語從句在動詞be，feel，seem，appear等后面也可以由連詞as if和as though來引導；原因狀語從句由because，as等引導；條件狀語從句可由if及其他連詞引導；讓步狀語從句使句子具有對比的因素，它們一般由連詞although，though，even though，even if等引導；目的狀語從句可由so that，in order that等連詞引導；結果狀語從句描述結果，可由so+形容詞+that引導，也可由such (a) +（形容詞） + 名詞 + that來引導；比較狀語從句結構包括as +形容詞/副詞 + as，not so/as … as，形容詞/副詞的比較級 +than，more…than，less…than等 He has been ill since he came back from his holidays. With a special train ticket, you can travel anywhere/everywhere you like in Europe for just over $100. Type this again as/in the way (that) I showed you just now. As you can’t go yourself, you’ll have to ask Susan go for you. 既然你自己不能去，那你就請蘇珊替你去吧。 2、分詞結構的復合句 ① 用現在分詞結構可以代替時間從句、原因從句、關系從句等，現在分詞結構的這種用法僅限于兩個動作的主語一致的時候。用它代替時間從句時，分詞結構表示的動作如果發生在前，則分詞結構要位于主語前；如果兩個動作同時發生，那么分詞結構既可以位于主句前，也可以位于主句后。分詞結構位于主句前面時，要用逗號隔開。 I got very angry speaking to them. Feeling tired, I went to bed earlier than usual. Following his mom, he went there.(主動概念, 跟著他母親去了那兒) ② 過去分詞結構常用于比較正式的文體，往往代替被動語態 Damaged in an accident, the car has now been repaired. Followed by his mom, he went there. (被動概念, 被他母親帶著跟著去了那兒) 3、不定式結構的復合句 這種結構通�？梢源�替表示目的或表示條件的狀語從句： To get into university you have to pass a number of examinations. 【Multiple choice questions】 3、___b___ the hot weather, he couldn't sleep indoors. a.
