二、重要句型或语法
1、被动语态
本课侧重的是从句中的被动语态改为分词短语的用法。如:After he was arrested, the man confessed that he had stolen the money.句中after从句中的被动结构he was arrested可以改为being arrested,因为主从句的主语是一致的。

三、课文主要语言点
I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time. | 1)句中的test用了过去进行时,旨在交代整个故事发生的时候我正在干什么。 2)a driving licence,驾照。 3)for the third time,第三次。注意跟for a third time(又一次)的区别。 |
I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. | 1)注意本句and前后的谓语动词ask和do之所以采用过去完成时,是因为这两个动作都是发生过去的过去。 2)heavy traffic,交通拥挤。 3)successfully,成功地。源自动词succeed(成功做成),其名词为success(成功),形容词为successful(成功的)。 |
After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. | 1)注意after从句中的被动结构原本是个句子,即:after I had been instructed to drive out of town。之所以能够改为短语,是因为主从句的主语是一致的。 2)instruct,指导、指示。 3)acquire confidence,获得信心、感到自信。acquire,获得。confidence,信心;其形容词为confident(自信的)。 |
Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. | 1)注意句中的sure that...其实是从句改为短语结构的用法,其原形可理解为:Because I was sure that...。 2)注意当begin用于进行时态时,后面通常只接动词不定式,而不用动名词。 |
The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said... | 1)examiner,主考官。源自动词examine(检查;考试),其名词形式为examination,通常缩略为exam。 2)be pleased with,对...感到满意。 3)performance,成绩、表现。源自动词perform(表演、执行)。 4)注意for引导的是表原因的并列句,起着补充说明的作用。 |
Just one more thing, Mr. Eames. | Just one more thing,只剩一件事了。一般用于话语的结尾处。 |
As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet. | 1)tap on...,敲打...。 2)within five feet,在五英尺之内。 |
I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly. | 1)注意continue可以后接to do和doing,都表示继续做某事。但是,continue有两个不同的形容词,即continual(断断续续的)和continuous(持续不断的)。 2)after some time,过了一会儿。注意这里的some time要分开写;合起来就成了sometime(某个时间)。 |
Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. | 1)注意对比take、cost、spend和pay的用法。 2)react,反应。该词由前缀re-和词根act构成,其名词为reaction。 |
I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward. | 1)press...hard,用力按压。 2)the brake pedal,刹车踏板。 3)throw forward,向前抛。 |
...in a mournful voice... | mournful,悲哀的。源自动词mourn(哀悼)。注意短语in a...voice,用...声音说到。 |
