本課複習：現在完成時與現在進行時
現在完成時的時間概念有時是不確定的。我們所關心的是現存的結果，或者過去發生的事對現在的影響。現在完成時不能和明確表示過去的副詞（如ago, yesterday等）連用。經常和現在完成時連用的副詞和副詞短語有：before（now）（〈在此〉以前）；so far（到目前為止）；up to now （直到現在）；just（剛剛）；already（已經）；lately（最近）；now（現在）；疑問句和否定句中常用ever, yet, never, not… ever等。現在進行時經常用於表示在短期內正在進行的動作或存在的情況，因此往往不需要和時間狀語連用。
I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim.
只是一個簡單的主謂賓+同位語
新概念二85課
I have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, Mr. Stuart Page, will be retiring next week.
加了現在分詞informing做伴隨狀語修飾整個句子
這裡不是現在分詞做後置定語，因為信發不出inform的動作
伴隨狀語裡還有賓語從句
He has been there for six months.
for six months for+一段時間，比較典型的完成時的標誌
He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia.
He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice springs, a small town in the centre of Australia.
My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.

新概念三44課
Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted.
Inevitably.adv.as is certain to happen
destination.n.a place to which sb/sth is going or being sent
exhausted.adj.very tired
Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read.
On motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on roads with few service stations and too much traffic.
By comparison, ferry trips or cruises offer a great variety of civilized comforts.
The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping.
you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled.
crumple.v.to fall down in an uncontrolled way because you are injured,unconscious,drunk,etc.
