新概念英语二 Lesson 14 Do you speak English?

本课复习:过去完成时

过去完成时由 had+ 过去分词构成,它表示过去某时或某动作发生之前已经完成的动作或情况,即“较早的过去”。在用过去完成时态的句子中,常用的连词有 when, after, as soon as, until, by that time等

After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.

drove on是个过去的动作,离开在这个动作之前,过去的过去,所以用had left

As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.

连词as soon as,一。。。就。。。,时间状语从句

I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, ‘Do you speak English?'

when连接

本课讲作者一次有趣的经历。场景:作者开车从法国南部的一个小村庄出来后拉了一个搭顺风车的人,用仅会的几句法语跟他问好,他也用蹩脚法语的法语回复,然后一路无话,快到终点时,他俩才发现彼此都是讲英语的。

同样是从一个村子开车出来的场景,我们看看新概念三48课会更丰满,一起对比一下

本课

After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.

新概念三48课

On the day before our departure, several bus loads of tourists descended on the town. This was more than we could bear, so we decided to spend our last day exploring the countryside.

词汇用到后来,名词就比较高级了。在我们离开的前一天可以说The day before we depart,注意本课用了一个名词departure.有几辆载着游客的公交车来到了这个小镇,注意本课用法several bus loads of tourists.如果我们自己说拜访脑子第一反应visit,注意本课用词descend突然袭击突然拜访。descended on the town.这是我们无法忍受的,所以我们决定最后一天去农村乡间游一游。新概念二48课出现过In the end, it was more than he could bear.作者把最后一天去乡间游写成spend our last day exploring the countryside.注意人家用的explore.

以上几处淋漓尽致地提现了作者用词的多样性,比较高级

新概念二离开小村子继续去下一个城镇只说了一句

新概念三详细描述了时间,离开的原因,我们的感受,我们的下一步方案。两个状语从句,传达了很多的意思。

本课

On the way, a young man waved to me.

离开村庄马上就遇见了人,接下来是与人之间的描写

我们再来看下新概念三

Taking a path which led out of the town, we crossed a few fields until we came to a dense wood.

走上一条出镇的小路,我们穿过几块农田直到来到一片茂密森林

分词结构里套着定语从句,分词结构相当于时间状语从句while we were taking a path...

We expected the path to end abruptly, but we found that it traced its way through the trees.

我们原本以为小路会戛然而止,哪曾想曲径通幽,在树林中继续延伸

We tramped through the wood for over two hours until we arrived at a deep stream.

我们徒步跋涉树林两个多小时直到来到一条深溪

We could see that the path continued on the other side, but we had no idea how we could get across the stream.

我们可以看见这条小路延伸到了小溪对岸。continued过去分词做定语。但是我们却不知道怎样穿过小溪

Suddenly my wife spotted a boat moored to the bank. In it there was a boatman fast asleep.

突然我妻子发现了一条船moored过去分词做定语用绳子系在岸边的船。在船里有一个熟睡fast asleep的船夫。新概念二27课Their sleeping bags were warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly.

We gently woke him up and asked him to ferry us to the other side. Though he was reluctant to do so at first, we eventually persuaded him to take us.

注意要开始社交了

我们轻轻地唤醒他请求他把我们拉倒对岸。尽管他起初不愿意,我们最终还是成功地说服了他。

be reluctant to do新概念二85课We shall all remember Mr. Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school.

unwillingly
