Notes on the text课文注释
1 Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town.乔·桑德斯拥有我们镇上最漂亮的花园。在第1册的第107-112课中，我们讲到了英文中形容词和副词的比较级和最高级。本课的主要句型仍是形容词和副词的比较级和最高级。如果形容词或副词有两个以上音节，其比较级和最高级是在形容词或副词前加上more或most，如more interesting, the most beautiful。
2 enter for，报名参加(各种竞赛，考试等活动)
3 more flowers and vegetables，更多的花卉和蔬菜。英语中有些形容词或副词的比较级和最高级并不规则，如课文中的good - better - best, bad - worse - worst, many - more - most。
4 for the worst garden in the town是介词短语作定语，修饰prize。

课文详注 Further notes on the text1．Nearly everybody enters for‘The Nicest Garden Competition’each year, but Joe wins every time. 几乎每个人都参加每年举办的“最佳花园竞赛”，而每次都是乔获胜。
（1）nearly和almost意义相似，表示“几乎”、“差不多”、“差点儿”的意思：
I'm nearly/ almost ready.
我快准备好了。
I have nearly forgotten his name.
我差点把他的名字忘了。
He nearly missed the train.
他差点没赶上火车。
（2）each和every均可译为“每一个”，二者常常可以互相代替使用：
Every/ Each time I wash the car it rains.
每次我擦洗汽车，天总是下雨。
但是each更强调个体。它常用以指一个确定的并通常是有限的数目：
Each child in the school was questioned.
学校里的每个孩子都被询问过了。
every却不那么强调个体，常用来指一个大的、不确定的数目：Every child enjoys Christmas.
所有的/每个孩子都喜欢过圣诞节。
另外，each既可以作形容词又可以作代词，但every只能作形容词：
They each have a share.
他们每人都有一份。
Each of us has his own work to do.
我们每个人都有自己的工作要干。
2．Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. 比尔·弗里斯的花园比乔的花园大。
名词加-'s表示所属关系，构成名词的所有格。这类名词往往指有生命的东西，特别是人。所有格的语法作用相当于形容词，限定后面的名词。这个被限定的名词在上下文中第二次被提到时可以省略，只要不引起误解：
This is Mary's boy friend, not Jane's.
这是玛丽的男朋友，不是简的。
My pen is lost. This one is my brother's.
我的钢笔丢了。这枝是我兄弟的。
John's handwriting is better than Mary's and Catherine's.
约翰的书法比玛丽的和凯瑟琳的都要好。
3．He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. 他修筑了一条条整洁的小路，并在一个池塘上架了一座小木桥。
make和build在这里是同义词，都可以解释为“修建”、“建造”。与汉语的写作习惯一样，用英语写作时同一段文字中尤其是在同一句话中应尽量避免使用重复的词，以使文章显得生动（特殊的修辞手法例外）。
make和build之间的区别主要是：make的词义比较笼统、广泛，可以解释为“做”、“作出”、“制造”等，而build的意义主要限于建筑业，指“建造”、“建设”、“盖房子”、“修筑（桥梁等）”：
They have built a new house.
他们盖了一座新房子。
They have made a road along the river.
他们沿这条河筑了一条路。
Have you made the skirt by yourself?
这裙子是你自己做的吗？
语法 Grammar in use
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
在英语中形容词和副词一般可以有比较级和最高级。比较级相当于汉语中“比……更……”这种句型，最高级则表示在某个范围“最……”的概念。最高级在使用时前面通常要加定冠词the，并有一个短语或从句限定其范围。
（1）比较级和最高级的构成
单音节词和少数双音节词（如以辅音+-y结尾的词）在词尾加-er, -est，以辅音+-y结尾的词要先将-y变成-i，再在词尾加上-er, -est:
hard----harder----hardest small----smaller----smallest
young----younger----youngest lean----cleaner----cleanest
busy----busier----busiest
以-e结尾的词加-r和-st:
large----larger----largest nice----nicer----nicest
以一个辅音字母结尾的单音节词要双写最后一个字母，然后再加-er, -ext:
big----bigger----biggest thin----thinner----thinnest
有一些双音节词在构成比较级和最高级形式时，既可以在单词结尾处加-er和-est，也可与more/ less和most/ least连用。如narrow, clever, common, pleasant 等。但如无把握时，双音节词用more和most则较为可靠。两个音节以上的单词如下：
interesting----more interesting----most interesting
有些形容词和副词的比较级和最高级的构成并不规则
good/ well----better----best bad/ ill----worse----worst
many/ much----more----most little----less----leas
told----older/ older----oldest/ eldest
far----farther/ further----farthest/ furthest
（2）在使用比较级时，如果需要把所比较的两项都提到，那么就必须在比较级后用than：
I know him better than you do.
我比你了解他。
Jane's hair is darker than Mary's.
简的头发比玛丽的黑。
My room is cleaner than the one next door.
我的房间比隔壁房间干净。
如果比较级之所指很清楚，它可独立存在：
Which house do you prefer?
你喜欢哪一所房子?
I prefer the older one.
我喜欢那所老一点的。
（3）最高级的限定范围一般用of, among, in等介词短语：
John is the tallest of the three brothers.
这3个兄弟中约翰个子最高。
This is the coldest day in ten years.
这是来最冷的一天。
限定范围也可以是从句：
Mary is the most intelligent person I've ever met.
玛丽是我所遇到的最聪明的人。
如果范围很清楚，则可以省略：
April is the best season.
4月是最好的季节。（暗含范围“一年中”）
He is always the best.
他总是最优秀的。（暗含范围“在我们当中”）

1．enter
（1）vt.,vi. 进入：
Joe entered the room quietly.
乔悄悄地走进了房间。
Always knock on the door before you enter.
进入前要先敲门。
（2）vt.,vi. 参加，加入：
We've entered into an agreement.
我们已达成一项协议。

他很快便加入了他们的谈话。
（3）enter for是“报名参加”的意思：
She entered (her name/ herself) for the mathematics competition.
她报名参加数学竞赛。
He entered his son for the English examination.
他让儿子参加英语考试。
2．every
构成的合成词
every和one, body, thing可以构成复合不定代词everyone, everybody和everything。它们一般都写成一个词。everyone和everybody一般可以替换使用，后面的代词既可以用单数，也 可以用复数，但它们本身均被视为单数：
Everyone/ Everybody knows what he has to do.
每一个人都知道自己必须做什么。
Everyone/ Everybody knows what they have to do.
每个人都知道自己必须做什么。
Everything is going well.
一切都很顺利。
与every一样可以构成这类合成词的单词还有some, any和no。

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 64 The Channel Tunnel海峡隧道
First listen and then answer the question.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why was the first tunnel not completed?
In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.
参考译文
1858年，一位名叫埃梅.托梅.德.干蒙的法国工程 师带着建造一条长21英里、穿越英吉利海陕的隧道计划到了英国。他说，可以在隧道中央建造一座平台，这座平台将用作码头和火车站。如果再建些伸出海面的高大的烟囱状通风管，隧道就具备了良好的通风条件。1860年，一位名叫威廉.洛的英国人提出了 一项更好的计划。他提议建一条双轨隧道，这样就解决了通风问题。因为如果有列火车开进隧道，它就把新鲜空气随之抽进了隧道。42年以后，隧道实际已经开始 建了。如果不是因为那时英国人害怕入侵，隧道早已建成了。世界不得不再等将近1才看到海峡隧道竣工。它于1994年3月7日正式开通，将英国与欧洲 大陆连到了一起。

课文详注 Further notes on the text1．a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel，建造一条长 21英里的隧道的计划。
twenty－one－mile作 tunnel的修饰语，注意 mile为单数。plan for +名词／动名词表示“……的计划”：
They always make plans for their holidays, but, in the end, they always stay at home.
他们总是为假期制订各种计划，但是，末了，他们总是呆在家里。

2．serve as，充当，起……的作用（也可以说 serve for）。
The books on the floor may serve as/ for a carpet.
地板上的书可充当地毯用了。
This sofa can serve as/ for(a) bed.
这张沙发可以当床用。
3．a better plan was put forward, 提出了一项更好的计划。
put forward为固定短语，可分开用，其含义之一是“提出（计划、建议等）”：
You know they wouldn't accept your plan. Why did you put it forward?
你知道他们不会接受你的计划。你为什么要提出来呢？
Has he put forward any suggestion?
他提出什么建议了吗？
4．He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built.他提
议建一条双轨隧道。
suggest后面跟从句时，从句的谓语动词形式为 should（可省略）+动词原形（cf．第63课语法）：
He suggested (that) they (should) change the plans.
他建议他们改变计划。
suggest后面也可以跟名词或动名词形式。（cf．第47课词汇学习）

第3类条件句
（1）在第16课的语法中，我们学习了用第1类条件句表示将来很可能发生的事：
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it.
一旦你把汽车停错了地方，交通警便很快就会发现。
在第40课的语法中，我们学习了用第2类条件句谈论想像中的情况或描写完全不可能的事：
If you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!
如果你多吃点，少说点，我们两个都会吃得好的！
If I were you, I would not go to London tomorrow.
如果我是你，我明天就不去伦敦。（婉转的建议）
（2）第3类条件句的基本结构与前两类都不一样，if从句需用过去完成时，主句用 would have/should have+过去分词形式：
If it had rained, we would have stayed at home.
要是下雨，我们就会呆在家里了。
第3类条件句在if从句里设想纯粹想像的事情，在主句里讲述想像的结果。它与第2类条件句有一定的相似之处。但是，第3类条件句所谈的是没有或永远不可能有的结果，因为它们指的是过去没有过的事情。它们是所谓的“假设条件句”：
If I had worked harder at school, I'd have go a better job.
要是我上学时勤奋一些，我就会有较好的工作了。（事实是现在的工作不太好）
在 if从句中可用 could have+过去分词代替 had been able to +动词原形:
Why didn't you read the book yesterday?
你昨天为什么没有看这本书?
I'd have read it if I could have bought it!
如果咋夭我能买到这书我就会读的!

语法 Grammar in use
间接引语：祈使句的转述

advise, ask, tell, order, command, warn, invite等，这些动词后往往有间接宾语：
“Remeber to turn off all the lights”she said.
她说:“记着把所有的灯关掉。”
She reminded / told me to turn off all the light.

转述这类祈使句的否定形式时，必须将not放在带to的不定式之前：
I advise you not to buy her anything.
我建议你别给她买任何东西。
（3）动词suggest和insist用于转述建议、要求时，其结构为suggest/insist+that从句（用should）：
Why don't they sell the flat?
他们为什么不把那套房子卖掉?
He suggests that they should sell the flat.I hope they won't sell the flat.
他建议他们把那套房子卖掉。我希望他们不把那套房子卖掉。(suggest后面的that可省略;不论suggest是现在时还是过去时，后面都用should)

篇5：新概念英语第四册第8课:Trading standards
Lesson 8 Trading standards贸易标准
First listen and then answer the following question.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What makes trading between rich countries difficult?
Chickens slaughtered in the United States, claim officials in Brussels, are not fit to grace European tables. No, say the American: our fowl are fine, we simply clean them in a different way. These days, it is differences in national regulations, far more than tariffs, that put sand in the wheels of trade between rich countries. It is not just farmers who are complaining. An electric razor that meets the European Union's safety standards must be approved by American testers before it can be sold in the United States, and an American-made dialysis machine needs the EU's okay before is hits the market in Europe.
布鲁塞尔的官员说，在美国屠宰的鸡不适于用来装点欧洲的餐桌。不，美国人说，我们的家禽很好，只是我们使用了另一种清洗方式。当前，是各国管理条例上的差 异，而不是关税阻碍了发达国家之间的贸易。并不仅仅是农民在抱怨。一把符合欧洲联盟安全标准的电动剃须刀必须得到美国检测人员的认可，方可在美国市场上销 售；而美国制造的透析仪也要得到欧盟的首肯才能进入欧洲市场。
As it happens, a razor that is safe in Europe is unlikely to electrocute Americans. So, ask businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, why have two lots of tests where one would do? Politicians agree, in principle, so America and the EU have been trying to reach a deal which would eliminate the need to double-test many products. They hope to finish in time for a trade summit between America and the EU on May 28TH. Although negotiators are optimistic, the details are complex enough that they may be hard-pressed to get a deal at all.
碰巧在欧洲使用安全的剃须刀不大可能使美国人触电身亡，因此，大西洋两岸的企业都在问，当一套测试可以解决问题时，为什么需要两套呢？政治家在原则上同意 了， 因此，美国和欧洲一直在寻求达成协议，以便为许多产品取消双重检查。他们希望尽早达成协议，为5月28日举行的美国和欧洲贸易的最高通级会议作准备。然谈 判代表持乐观态度，但协议细节如此复杂，他们所面临的困难很可能使他们无法取得一致。
Why? One difficulty is to construct the agreements. The Americans would happily reach one accord on standards for medical devices and them hammer out different pacts covering, say, electronic goods and drug manufacturing. The EU -- following fine continental traditions -- wants agreement on general principles, which could be applied to many types of products and perhaps extended to other countries.
为什么呢？困难之一是起草这些协议。美国人很愿意就医疗器械的标准达成一个协议，然后推敲出不同的合同，用以涵盖 -- 比如说 -- 电子产品和药品的生产。欧洲人遵循优良的大陆传统，则希望就普遍的原则取得一致，而这些原则适用于许多不同产品，同时可能延伸到其它国家。

Notes on the text课文注释
1 Chinckens slaughtered in ... to grace European tabes.在这句话中引用了布鲁塞尔官员的评论，却没有放在引号之中。这种方式常用于报刊文章，对读者的直接影响更大。在claim officials in Brussels中，动词claim置于名词之前。
2 it is differences in national regulations... between rich countries.是各国管理条例上的差异，而不是关税阻碍了发达国家之间的贸易。这是一个it引导的强调句。put sand in the wheels of, 阻碍，阻扰。
3 So ask businesses on both sides of the Atlantic , why have two lots of tests where one would do?这是另一个没有引导的直接引语的例子。注意why have two... do中的语序，这是非常口语化的直接引语的语序。

篇6：新概念英语第三册第8课:A famous monastery
Lesson 8 A famous monastery著名的修道院
Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What are the St. Bernard dogs used for?
The Great St. Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2,473 metres, it is the highest mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St. Bernard, witch was founded in eleventh century, lies about a mile away. For hundreds of years, St. Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass. These friendly dogs, which were first brought from Asia, were used as watchdogs even in Roman times. Now that a tunnel ahs been built through the mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, but each year, the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty. Despite the new tunnel, there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot.
During the summer months, the monastery is very busy, for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars. As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept in a special enclosure. In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite different. The temperature drops to -- 30 o and very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks prefer winter to summer of they have more privacy. The dogs have greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure. The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter. These young people, who love the peace of mountains, always receive a warm welcome at St. Bernard's monastery.

圣伯纳德大山口连接着瑞士与意大利，海拔2,473O米，是欧洲最高的山口。11世纪建造的著名的圣伯纳德修道院位于离山口1英里远的地方。几百年来，圣 伯纳德修道院驯养狗拯救了许多翻越这道山口的旅游者的生命。那些最先从亚洲引进的狗，待人友好，早在罗马时代就给人当看门狗了。如今由于山里开挖了隧道， 翻越山口已不那么危险了。但每年还要派狗到雪山地里去帮助那些遇到困难的旅游者，尽管修通了隧道，但仍有一些人想冒险徒步跨越圣伯纳德山口。
夏天的几个月里，修道院十分忙碌，因为有成千上万的人驾车通过山口，顺道来修道院参观。由于来人太多，狗被关在专门的围栏里。然而到了冬天，修道院里的生 活则是另一番景象。气温下降到零下30度，试图跨越山口的人寥寥无几。修道士们喜欢冬天，而不太喜欢夏天。因为在冬天，他们可以更多地过无人打扰的生活。 狗也比较自由，被放出围栏，四处遛达。冬天常来修道院参观的只有一批批滑雪者。他们在圣诞节或复活节到那儿去。这些热爱高山清静环境的年轻人每年都受到圣 伯纳德道院的热烈欢迎。

Lesson 75 SOS呼救信号
First listen and then answer the question.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
How did the woman get help?
When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters 'SOS' in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.

Did the boy go where he wanted to?
Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school.

课文详注 Further notes on the text1．Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. 逃学的孩子们都缺乏想像力。
（1）play truant from school表示“逃学”，上下文清楚时也可以省略 from school,直接说 play truant. truant也可以单用，表示“逃学者”。
As a boy, Tom used to play truant (from school).
汤姆小时候常逃学。
The three boys who are fishing over there are truants and ought to be sent back to school.
那边那3个钓鱼的孩子都是逃学者，应当被送回学校。

（1）这句话的主语是is前面的两个并列短语。第1个短语的主要

它实际上是省略了动名词 sitting for(eight hours),seeing引

这个句子的主语是 The next car,谓语动词是take, into和but to引导的是两个并列状语。the boy stopped为 car的关系从句，前面省略了作宾语的关系代词 which/that; as he hoped it would则为方式状语从句。
6．There he was picked up by a policeman…他在那儿被一个警察抓住了……
Pick up的含义之一是“逮捕”、“拘捕”：
After the accident, he was picked up by the police.
