一、交际用语

You must have been mad to speak to the servant.你跟那个仆人讲话,准是发疯了。

must have been中的must表示揣测,作“一定是、准是、想必是”解。must后跟不带to的不定式(即动词原形),表示对现在的事的推测;must后跟不定式的完成式,表示对过去发 生事的推测。例如:

Rose must catch a cold;she has a high fever.罗斯准是感冒了,她在发高烧。(对现在的推测)

Rose must have caught a cold;she had a high fever last night.罗斯准是感冒了,她昨晚发高烧。(对过去的推测)

情态动词can't,couldn't,may,might后也可跟类似的两种形式,分别表示对现在、过去发生的事的推测。例如:

She can't be in the room now.

他现在不可能在房间。

You might have got the wrong number.你(刚才)也许拨错号了。

can't/couldn't后间或跟不定式的完成式表示“想必不可能一直在进行”的意思。例如:

It's very late now.Jack can't have been waiting at the bus stop.现在很晚了,杰克不可能一直在车站上等着。

二、单词和词组

1.stay hidden

stay除表示“留(下),(暂)住”等意思外,还表示“保持(某种状态)”,这时stay用作连系动词,不仅可跟形容词,还可跟副词和过去分词等。例如:

The shop stays open until seven o'clock.那商店一直开到七点。

The boy often went hungry and stayed dressed in that dirty coat.那男孩经常挨饿,老是穿着那件脏外套。

2.let…in

let可表示“让处于某个位置”,和不同的副词或介词连用,有较活的译法。例如:

Open the door and let in the cat.

打开门,让猫进来。

Let me out of here!Let me out!

让我从这里出去,让我出去!

三、句型

It was the first time we had spoken together.这是我们第一次相互交谈。

这是一个带有定语从句的省略了关系词的特殊句型。如果谈到过去,从句就用过去完成时。例如:

It was the third time he had been in love that year.这是他那一年第三次谈恋爱了。

如果涉及现在情况,就用现在完成时。

This is the first time(that)I’ve heard her sing.这是我头一次听她唱歌。

【讲解设计】

一、篇章结构

1.中心思想

This passage describes the terrible wrong that had been done to Dr Manette and the cruel way the nobles treated the peasants,which brought about the French Revolution in the end.The love story in the text and what happened to Charles clearly show that the French revolution was only a revolution of punishment to the nobles.

2.段落大意

The whole text can be divided into four parts:

Part 1(ParA.1~4)

Wrong was done to Dr Manette.

Part 2(ParA.5~6)

Charles and Sydney were in love with Lucie and Charles hated the way of life of the rich French nobles.

Part 3(ParA.7~9)

Charles was recognized as a noble and sentenced to death.

Part 4(ParA.10~11)

Sydney managed to save Charles and died in place of his friend for his true love for Lucie.

二、单词和词组

1.put…in prison

put…in/into prison意为“把……关进监狱”,类似的用法还有:send…to prison送进监狱;throw…into prison投…进监狱;shut/keep…in prison把人关在监狱。这里prison均用作不可数名词,表示被监禁状态,前面通常不加冠词。例如:

Law-breakers are put in/into prison.

犯法的人都要坐牢。

但如果prison指监狱的房子则是可数名词,前面加冠词。例如:

Lucie went to the prison to visit her husband.露西到监狱去看了她的丈夫。

2.suffer…from

动词suffer意为“受痛苦、受损害,遭受,患(病)”,既可用作不及物动词,又可用作及物动词,还常和from连用。例如:

I won't stand by and let him suffer like this.我不会袖手旁观,让他这样受苦。

He suffered a great deal from cold and hunger.他深受寒冷与饥饿之苦。

She suffers from stomachaches.

她患胃痛病。

3.attend

attend通常表不“出席,上(学,课)”,但在本课中表示“看护、照料;服侍”的意思。例如:

Last night he attended a movie.

昨晚他看了一场电影。

Martin himself attended the sick man.

马丁亲自照看那病人。

If you go out,who will attend to the baby?

如果你出去,谁将照看这个婴儿?

4.set fire to…

set fire to…表示“放火烧……、使……着火”的意思,也可用set…on fire来表示。例如:

Who set fire to the shop?(或 Who set the shop on fire?)是谁放火烧商店的?

The waste paper should be set fire to.这些废纸应当烧掉。

set fire to与burn都有“燃烧”的意思,但前者强调“点火”这个动作,而后者却指“燃烧”过程。例如:

They set fire to the house,and it was burnt (down)to the ground.他们放火烧房子,房子被烧光。

5.address n.vt.

本课中的address用作动词,表示“(在信上)写姓名地址”的意思。例如:

Please address your letter to the head-master's office.请在信上写好地址寄给该校校长室。

This is a wrongly addressed letter.

这封信地址写错了。

6.or rather

or rather作“更确切地说”(exactly speak- ing)解,常用来纠正已经说过的话,使之更确切。例如:

He arrived very late last night,or rather, in the early hours this morning.他昨晚很晚才到达,更确切地说,今天凌晨才到。

三、句型

1.He hated the way they treated the peasant.

他痛恨他们对待农民的态度。

此句中way意为“方法,手段,态度”。当way后面被定语从句修饰时,常用that来代替in which而且常被省去。例如:

I liked the way(that)she organized the meeting.我喜欢他组织会议的方法。

Do it the way I showed you.照我给你做的样子去做。

2.On reading the letter,he found…

看了信,他得知……

On reading the letter意为“一看信,他就…”。介词on/upon作“在……时,在……之后”解,后跟ing形式,相当于用as soon as引导的状语从句。例如:

On seeing the snake,the girl screamed.一看到蛇,那女孩便叫了起来。

介词on/upon后跟名词时,也可作此义解。例如本课中“on his arrival in Paris…”(当他一到达巴黎……)。又如:

On his return from his vacation,he began writing his first novel.他休假一回来,就开始写他的第一部小说。

四、语法

动词ing形式(二)

动词ing形式可用作定语和状语。当单个动词ing形式作定语时,放于被修饰名词之前。

例如:a sleeping boy(一个熟睡的男孩),当ing形式为一个短语时,放在被修饰名词之后。例如:

There is a boy sleeping soundly under the tree.树下有一个男孩,正睡得香。

动词ing形式通常指该动词与句子谓语的动作同时发生,如要表示先于句子谓语的动作,则用having done的形式。试比较:

Living far from school,he is often late.他住在远离学校的地方,所以经常迟到。

Having folded the letter,Charles put it carefully in his pocket.查尔斯折好信后,小心地把信放进口袋。
