Lesson 34:quick work 破案“神速”

First listen and then answer the question.

聽(tīng)錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。

How long had the police taken to find his bicycle?

Dan Robinson has been worried all week. Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried anymore. At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by train. Dan was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Dan was a boy of fifteen!

自學(xué)導(dǎo)讀

1.Dan Robinson has been worried all week. 丹·魯賓遜焦慮了整整一個(gè)星期。

worried 在這里可以當(dāng)成是形容詞，

表示“焦慮的”、“擔(dān)心的”。worry 也可以作及物動(dòng)詞，表示“使擔(dān)心/發(fā)愁”等：

She appears to be worried by/ about something.

好像有什么事使她發(fā)愁。(用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)時(shí)，過(guò)去分詞與形容詞意義差不多)

2.the local police，當(dāng)?shù)鼐炀帧?/p>

local 可以表示“地方性的”或“當(dāng)?shù)氐?rdquo;、“本地的”：a local newspaper 地方性報(bào)紙

local news 本地新聞

local shops鄰近的商店

3.Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police…丹奇怪警察

為什么找他……

(1) wonder表示“想知道”時(shí)后面往往跟疑問(wèn)詞引導(dǎo)的從句：She wondered who that man was/ what had happened. 她想知道那個(gè)人是誰(shuí)/到底發(fā)生了什么事。

(2) want用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)時(shí)可以表示“想與(某人見(jiàn)面、談話等)”或“緝拿”、“追捕”：

Please wait a minute. I'm wanted on the phone.

請(qǐng)等一下。有我的電話。

This is the man (who is) wanted by the police.

這就是警察在追捕的那個(gè)人。

4.a smiling policeman ，一位面帶笑容的警察。

smiling 為現(xiàn)在分詞，作定語(yǔ)，

其作用相當(dāng)于形容詞。還可以說(shuō)：

a sleeping dog 一只睡著的狗

a worried face 一張焦慮的臉

5.Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. 那位警察對(duì)他說(shuō)，

那輛自行車是5天前在400英里外的一個(gè)小村里發(fā)現(xiàn)的。

(1)這句話實(shí)際上是一個(gè)間接引語(yǔ)(cf.第15課語(yǔ)法)，其正常語(yǔ)序應(yīng)為： The policeman told him that five days ago the bicycle was picked up…

語(yǔ)序變化后，the policeman told him成了插入成

分，引導(dǎo)從句的that也被省略，引述的部分被分割成兩部分。

(2) four hundred miles away修飾 village，相當(dāng)于從句 which wasfour hundred miles away。

(3) pick up的含義之一為“(偶然地、無(wú)意地)獲得”、“找到”、“學(xué)會(huì)”：

I've picked up a bad cold.

我得了重感冒。

I picked up some French while travelling in Paris.

在巴黎游覽期間我學(xué)了幾句法語(yǔ)。

He picked up the book in a small library.

他在一個(gè)小圖書館發(fā)現(xiàn)了那本書。

6.It is now being sent to his home by train.現(xiàn)在正用火車給他運(yùn)回家來(lái)。

這句話是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)用于現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，

其結(jié)構(gòu)為“am/is/are+ be-ing+過(guò)去分詞”(cf.第10課語(yǔ)法)：

The clavichord is being repaired by a friend of my

father's.

父親的一個(gè)朋友正在修理這架古鋼琴。

語(yǔ)法 Grammar in use

被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)(3)

在第10課的語(yǔ)法中，我們學(xué)習(xí)了被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的基本形式。一般說(shuō)來(lái)，無(wú)論是主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)還是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，句子的主語(yǔ)往往是說(shuō)話者認(rèn)為比較重要或想要強(qiáng)調(diào)的。如果說(shuō)話人想避免用不明確的詞(如 someone， a person等)作主語(yǔ)，就常常使用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。在“動(dòng)詞+賓語(yǔ)+不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)中，既可以讓動(dòng)詞用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)而不定式用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，也可以讓不定式用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)：

Someone told Mary to meet us.

有人通知瑪麗來(lái)接我們。(主語(yǔ)不明確)
