课文详注 Further notes on the text1.After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. 在离开法国南部的一个小村庄后,我继续驶往下一个城镇。
(1)表示一个大范围中的某一个地方时要用介词in:
Beijing is in the north of China.
北京位于中国的北部。
(2)副词on紧跟在动词后面时可以表示“向前”、“继续下去”等意义:
He talked on until everybody had gone.
他滔滔不绝地讲到大家都走了。

我朋友来看我时我正在看书。他走了以后我便继续看书。
2.I stopped and he asked me for a lift. 我把车停下,他向我提出要求搭车。
名词lift的含义之一是“(给步行者)搭便车”、“免费搭车”:

昨晚我不得不走回家。谁也不愿意让我搭车。
I was lucky today. I got a lift soon after I had left the village.

3.As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. 他一上车,我就用法语向他问早上好,他也同样用法语回答我。
(1)表示时间的固定短语as soon as通常表示“一……就……”,即两个动词之间相隔时间非常短:
Tell him the news as soon as you meet him.
你一遇见他就把这消息告诉他。
(2)表示用某种语言作为交际手段时介词用in,表示讲某种语言时可以不加介词:

那本书是用德语写的。
He replied the question in English.
他用英语回答了这个问题。
语法 Grammar in use
过去完成时(The simple past perfect tense)
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:
When I woke up in the morning, she had already had
her breakfast.
当我早上醒来时,她已经吃过早饭了。
After he had said goodbye to us all, Captain Alison started his journey.
当艾利森船长和我们大家都道了别之后,他就启程了。

我犯了个错误。刚给他们打完电话我就意识到了。
I didn't know that she was a famous actress until you had told me.
直到你告诉我时我才知道她是位名演员。
常与现在完成时连用的副词如already, just, never, never…before也常与过去完成时连用,以强调事件发生的先后次序:
The boys loved the zoo. They had never seen wild animals before.
男孩们喜欢动物园,以前他们从没见过野兽。
在有些用过去完成时的句子中没有明确的时间状语,但通过上下文可以看出动作发生的先后:
Why was he so pleased?
他为什么这么高兴?
I had repaired his bicycle.
(因为)我把他的自行车修好了。
Why couldn't you open the door?

Everyone has helped in some way apart from/ except for/except you.
每个人都帮了点忙,只有你没有。

除了这些书以外我再没有其他书了。
但是 except不用于句首,except for/ apart from则可以:

除了你,每个人都帮了点忙。
3.短语 which of, either of, neither of与 both of
这些短语都可用于指两个人或两件事。
(1)当询问在两个或更多的人或事物中偏爱哪一个或选择哪一个时,可用 which:
I like both of these bags. Which of the two do you prefer?
这两个包我都喜欢。你喜欢哪一个?

Which bag shall I use?
我用哪个包?
Either of them.It doesn't matter which.
哪个都行。用哪个都没关系。

哪个都不行。用个手提箱吧。
(3)both只指两个人或物。当它用在名词前时,of可有可无:

篇2:新概念英语第二册第81课:Escape
Lesson 81 Escape脱逃
First listen and then answer the question.听录音,然后回答以下问题。
Why did the prisoner attack the driver?
When he had killed the guard, the prisoner of war quickly dragged him into the bushes. Working rapidly in the darkness, he soon changed into the dead man's clothes. Now, dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his shoulder, the prisoner marched boldly up and down in front of the camp. He could hear shouting in the camp itself. Lights were blazing and men were running here and there: they had just discovered that a prisoner had escaped. At that moment, a large black car with four officers inside it, stopped at the camp gates. The officers got out and the prisoner stood to attention and saluted as they passed. When they had gone, the driver of the car came towards him. The man obviously wanted to talk. He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear blue eyes. The prisoner felt sorry for him, but there was nothing else he could do. As the man came near, the prisoner knocked him to the ground with a sharp blow. Then, jumping into the car, he drove off as quickly as he could.

Notes on the text课文注释
1 It is called a clavichord.它被称作古钢琴。这是一个被动语态的句子。本课的许多动词都是被动语态,如:“Our clavichord is kept...”,“The instrument was bought…”,“it was damaged…”,"two of the strings were broken”等。
2 a friend of my father's,我父亲的一位朋友。在英语中我们通常用-’s和of结构来表示所有格。-’s的结构通常用在人名和表示人称的名词的末尾,而of结构则常与无生命的名词连用。在这个例句中同时使用了-'s和of的结构,这被称作双重所有格。
Lesson 10 自学导读First things first
课文详注 Further notes on the text1 we have an old musical instrument.我家有件古乐器。
instrument常用的意思是“器械”、“器具”,尤指医疗、机器等方面的。但它可以用来泛指各种乐器。
2 It is called a clavichord。被称做古钢琴。
call在这里的意思是“把……称为”、“称呼”,既可用于主动语态,也可用于被动语态:
What do you call this?
你们把这称为什么?
They call him big Tom.
他们叫他“大个子汤姆”。
3 It has belonged to our family for a long time.我们家有这件乐器已经很久了。
belong为不及物动词,因此不能用于被动语态。另外,它是一个表示状态的动词,而不是行为动词,所以它也不能用于进行时。它最常用的时态是一般现在时和一般过去时:
This farm belong to me and it belonged to my father before me.
这个农场现在属于我;在此之前它属于我父亲。
4 She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken.
她在击琴键时用力过猛,损坏了两根琴弦。
并列连词and在这里的意义相当于so,表示后一句是前一句的结果。再如:
He fell heavily and broke his arm.
他摔得很重,手臂都摔断了。
语法 Grammar in use
1 被动语态(The passives)(1)
主动语态与被动语态皆指动词的形式而言。在主动句中,动词的主语是执行动作的人或物:
John cooked the food last nigjt.
约翰昨天晚上做了饭。
在被动句中,动作是对主语执行的:
The food was cooked last night.
饭是昨天晚上做的。
被动语态由be的一种形式和过去分词构成。主动语态的时态用法规则也适用于被动语态。例如:现在正在进行着的动作也要用现在进行时:
The instrument is being repaired by a friend of my father's.
父亲的一个朋友正在修理这件乐器。
已经完成的动作要用完成时:
Has the film been shown yet?
这部电影上映了吗?
It's being shown now.
目前正在上映。
动词作及物动词用(即动词后可加宾语)时才能构成被动语态。如果要说明是什么人或什么东西做了某事,则用“by+行为主体”结构:
I live in a very old town which is surrounded by beautiful woods.
我住在一个由美丽的树林环绕的古老小镇上。
That table was made by my grandfather.
那张桌子是我祖父做的。
“行为主体”也可以不表示出来:
This piano was made in England.
这架钢琴是英国造的。
The car was repaired last week.
这辆车是上星期修的。
2 双重所有格(The double genitive }
-’s结构的所有格也可用于“of结构”之后,如:a friend of my father's(我父亲的一位朋友),意思是我父亲的许多朋友之一。
出现这种情况是因为在一个名词前通常只用一个限定词。例如在son一词之前,我们不会同时用this和my两个限定词,而只可说this son of mine(我的这个儿子)。其他一些表示所属关系的代词的例子如a friend of yours(你的一个朋友),an uncle of hers(她的一个叔叔)等。在名词前面,我们可以用a,this,that, these, some, any, no等等,但不用the。 He is a friend of mine(他是我的一个朋友)比He is my friend更常用,后者含有“他是我的一个特殊的或惟一的朋友”之意。而He is no friend of mine的含义是“我根本不认识他”或“他是我的敌人”。

(2)vt.谈及,涉及,关系到:
a rise in the cost of living touches everyone.
生活费用的增加与每个人都有关系。
3. 与被动形式的made连用的几个介词
动词make经常用于被动语态。当它与不同的介词搭配时。意义也稍有不同。
(1)made in 可表示产地或时间:
This bike was made in China.
这辆自行车是中国造的。
It was made in 1988.
它生产于1988年。
(2) made of表示用某种材料制成(通常指制造后不改变该材料原来的性质或形状):

Lesson 70 Red for danger危险的红色
First listen and then answer the question.听录音,然后回答以下问题。
How was the drunk removed from the ring?
During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

Lesson 70 自学导读First things first
课文详注 Further notes on the text1.…the drunk was unaware of the danger.……醉汉没有意识到危险。
While she read the book, she was unaware of the noise around her.
她看那本书时没有觉察到周围的噪音。
I was unaware that you were coming.
我不知道你要来。
2.it suddenly caught sight of the drunk,突然它看见了醉汉。
catch sight of是个固定短语,意为“看见”、“发现”:
As I came out of the shop, I caught sight of Dan in the crowd.
当我从商店里出来时,我在人群中看到了丹。
3.sensitive to criticism,对挑衅/批评敏感。
sensitive表示“敏感的”、“神经过敏的”、“易生气的”或“介意的”等,通常与to+名词连用,也可作定语:
Mary is sensitive to smells.
玛丽对气味很敏感。
Mary has a sensitive ear.
玛丽的耳朵很灵敏。
You're too sensitive.
你太敏感了(太容易生气了)。
4.The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself.可这醉汉像是很有把握似的。
be/ feel sure of oneself 表示“有自信心”:
She's always so sure of herself.
她总是这么自信。
5.The crowd broke into cheers…观众欢呼起来……
break into 的含义之一是“突然发出/做出”、“突然……起来”,有控制不住的含义:
On hearing the news, she broke into tears.
听到消息后,她大哭起来。
When Sally saw the woman wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse, she broke into laughter.
当萨莉看到那妇女戴着一顶像灯塔一样的帽子时,她大笑起来。
6.Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador. 好像连牛也在为他感到遗憾,因为它一直同情地看着醉汉,直到他的背影消逝,才重新将注意力转向斗牛士。
这个句子很长。for引导的句子与它前面的分句为并列句。for引导的分句中有两个时间状语,一是until引导的从句,二是before引导的动名词短语,其作用也相当于一个从句,由于主语也是it,用动名词形式更简洁些。
(1)look on可以表示“观看”、“旁观”:
Mary people just looked on while the two men robbed a woman.
当那两个人抢劫一位妇女时,许多人只是旁观。
(2)out of the way为固定短语,可以表示“不挡道”、“不碍事”:
While making meat pies, I always order the children to keep out of the way.
我做肉馅饼时,总是命令孩子们不要碍事。
