Lesson 15 自学导读First things first
课文详注 Further notes on the text1．The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. 秘书告诉我说哈姆斯沃斯先生要见我。
would 在这里不是表示单纯的过去将来时，而是表示“想……”、“要……”的意思：
What would you like to have?
你想要吃（喝）什么？
John wouldn't lend me his bicycle.
约翰不愿意把他的自行车借给我。
2．He did not look up from his desk when I entered. 我进去的时候，他连头也没抬。
在这句话的look up中，look是它的本义“看”、“瞧”。look up一般表示原先在埋头干什么之后抬头看：
He looked up(from his book)when he heard a noise.
他听到声音后就抬起了头。（原先在读书）
3．I knew that my turn had come. 我知道这次该轮到我了。
turn在这里是名词，意为“轮流”、“轮班”、“（依次轮流时各自的）一次机会”：
I have already asked two questions. Now it's your turn.
我已经问了两个问题。该轮到你了。
When his turn came, he couldn't speak any word.
轮到他时，他却一个字也说不出来。
4．‘Mr. Harmsworth,’I said in a weak voice.“哈姆斯沃斯先生，”我无力地说。
weak在这里不是指身体虚弱，而是指声音“微弱”、“无力”，因为怕被开除而感到紧张。
5．Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
然后他微笑了一下告诉我说，我每年将得到1，000英镑的额外收入。
（1）extra 表示“额外的”、“外加的”、“份外的”：

语法 Grammar in use
间接引语（Indirect speech）
把某人所说的话告诉另外一个人时，应该使用间接引语（有的语法书称之为“转述引语”）。引述动词（如say，tell）可能是现在时，也可能是过去时 （最常用）。间接陈述句的时态往往受引述动词的影响。引述陈述句时最常用的动词是say和tell。它们之间的区别是tell后面必须跟表示人称的间接宾 语（tell sb….），而say后面则可跟或不跟to +讲话对象。如果需要提到听话者，tell +间接宾语通常比say + to +sb. 更常用。在say和tell后面一般不可加逗号。如果间接引语中的引述动词是现在时，那么其后的时态通常与原来口头陈述句的时态相同。转述刚刚说完的话时 通常如此；引述动词如果是过去时，那么间接引语中的时态通常要“往回移”（即“倒移”）。一条普遍的规则是“现在时变为过去时，过去时变为过去完成时”。 直接引语：
‘I can see him now!’
“我现在可以见他！”
间接引语：
Didn't Mr.Smith see you?
史密斯先生没见你吗?
No,his secretary told me / said that he had gone home.
没有，他的秘书(告诉我)说他已经回家了。

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”。

a rise in the cost of living touches everyone.

3. 与被动形式的made连用的几个介词

(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.

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：

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”：

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。
He came with a plan for (building) a bridge over the river.
他带来了在这条河上建一座桥的计划。
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）
5．It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.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。

This road connects the willage with/to London.
这条公路连接着这个村子与伦敦。
The lake and the canal are connected by a river.

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!
