课文详注 Further notes on the text1.After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag. 我在一家乡村小酒店吃过午饭后,就找我的提包。
(1)have在have lunch这个词组中是完全动词而不是助动词,因此,像其他完全动词一样,它的过去完成时要加助动词had。(cf. 本课语法)
(2)pub为public house(酒店,酒吧)的缩略形式,在英国英语的口语中较常见:
Let&39;s go to the pub for a drink.
咱们去酒店喝杯酒吧。
(3)look for强调“寻找”这个动作,而不涉及结果:
I looked for my key everywhere, but I couldn&39;t find it.
我到处寻找我的钥匙,但还是没找到。
2.I had left it on a chair beside the door…我曾把它放在门边的椅子上……
leave除了“离去”、“离开”、“出发”的意思,还可以表示“把(人、物)留下”、“遗留”、“丢下”等:
The dog has left your bag by a tree.
那狗把你的提包丢在了一棵树旁。
Have you left anything in the car?
你有没有把什么东西丢在车里?
Leave the books on the desk.
把书放在课桌上。
3.My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this!我的狗把它弄到花园里去了,他常干这种事!
he在这里指代的是狗。动物通常用it来代表,即被看成像东西一样。但是,指宠物、家畜或民间故事中的动物时,我们经常也用he,she,who等,即使得它们“人格化”并具有性别。用阴性代词指某个动物或东西时尤其有一种亲切的含义:
I have a little cat. She drinks milk every morning.
我有一只小猫。她每天早上喝牛奶。
George&39;s parrot, Henry, can speak a few words. He always calls when there are lights.
乔治的鹦鹉亨利能说几个单词。只要有灯光他就叫。
语法 Grammar in use
完全动词have
(1)动词have有两种用法。一是作为助动词构成各种完成时(包括过去、现在、将来)和完成进行时:
I haven&39;t seen him this morning.
我今天上午没见过他。
When I rang, Tim had already left.
我打电话的时候,蒂姆已经走了。
(2)have还可以作完全动词。当它作“具有”、“拥有”讲时,它和have got通常可以互换。在英国英语中,疑问句和否定句中
have(具有)的用法与be相同,即可以不用助动词do(或did)。
I haven&39;t got any pencils.
我没有铅笔。
在美国英语中,常用do,did等与have一起构成疑问句和否定句:
Do you have a pencil?
你有铅笔吗?
I don&39;t have any pencils.
我没有铅笔。
这种形式在英国英语中现在也常见了。
have作“具有”、“拥有”讲时是状态动词,不能用于进行时态或被动语态。它通常用于一般现在时:
You can have these apples if you want them. I&39;ve got a lot more.
如果你想要这些苹果你可以把它们拿走。我还有许多。
He has(got) a Ford.
他有一辆福特牌汽车。
在其他时态中,一般用have而不用 have got:
He had a Ford last year.
去年他有过一辆福特牌汽车。
I have had this car for three years.
这辆汽车我已用了3年了。
Last week, Jimmy had a bad cold.
上星期吉米得了重感冒。
(3)have 作完全动词时,还可以表示eat,drink,enjoy,take等意思,这时它是行为动词,可以用于包括进行时的各种时态:
Have a cigarette, Sam.
萨姆,请抽烟。
We will have dinner at seven o&39;clock.
我们将于7点开饭。
Sam and I had lunch together today.
我和萨姆今天一起吃的午饭。
I&39;m having a drink.
我正在喝点东西。
当have用于表示这些含义时,它必须与do和did等连用以构成疑问句和否定句:
Did you have a nice holiday?
你的假日过得愉快吗?
I didn&39;t have a nice holiday.
我的假日过得不愉快。
have还可以代替receive:
Have you had a letter from Tom yet?
你收到汤姆的来信了吗?
Yes, I had a letter from him yesterday.
是的,我昨天收到他的一封信。
词汇学习 Word study
1.beside与besides
介词beside常用的含义为“在……旁边”、“在……附近”:
Come and sit beside us.
过来坐在我们旁边吧。
There is a chair beside the door.
门旁边有一把椅子。
besides的词形与beside很相似,但意义却相差甚远。besides作副词时表示“而且”、“并且”、“此外”等意思:
She has so much else to do besides.
此外,她还有许多其他事要做。
I&39;m quite busy today. Besides, I&39;ve got a bad cold.
我今天很忙,而且我还感冒得厉害。
besides还可以作介词,表示“除……之外(还)”:
There were a lot of people at the party besides us.
除了我们以外,晚会上还有许多(其他)人。
2.give的几个固定搭配
及物动词give常用的含义是“给予”、“交给”:
Give me some water, please.
请给我一些水。
I lent him some books last month and he has given them back to me this morning.
我上个月曾借给他一些书。他今天上午都还给我了。
可以看出,give与back连用时,它的意义并没有发生太大的变化。但是,当它与其他副词连用时,意义往往会有变化,有时变化非常大:
He gave away all his books to the library.
他把所有的书都赠给了这家图书馆。(give away:赠送)
Give in your examination papers after you&39;ve finished.
考卷做好后就交上来。(give in:上交,呈交)
