had gathered为过去完成时,表示过去某个时刻之前已经完成的动作。(cf. 第14课语法) 2.It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. 再过20分钟,大钟将敲响12下。
(1)这句话的时态为过去将来时。
(2)in+表示时间长度的短语可译为"……时间之后",一般与将来时连用:
Please wait a moment here. Jack will be back in a few minutes.
请在此稍候。杰克几分钟之后就回来。
(3)strike的基本含义是"打"、"击":
She struck the man in the face.
她打了那人的脸。
当用于钟、乐器等东西时,它有"敲"、"弹"的含义:
When I entered the room, the clock struck five.
我进屋时,钟敲响了5点。 3.We waited and waited, but nothing happened. 我们等啊等啊,可情况没有变化。
动词 happen作"发生"、"出现"讲时,主语是物:
Have you heard what happened to Sam this morning?
你听说今天上午萨姆发生了什么事了吗?
An interesting thing happened last night.
昨晚发生了一件有趣的事。 4.The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. 那座大钟不愿意迎接新年。
这句话中的两个动词 refuse和welcome在一般情况下主语都是人。我们可以说:
Susan's friends welcomed her with flowers when she returned from abroad.
苏珊从国外回来时,她的朋友们用鲜花欢迎她。
在书上的这句话中,用大钟作主语是一种拟人手法。 语法 Grammar in use 1.引导时间状语的介词 in, on, at, during, till与 until

in+ 一段时间有两种含义。它可以表示"在某段时间之内",这时它可以与现在时、过去时或将来时连用,一般与完成某个动作有关:

我总是在10分钟之内吃完早饭。
I finished the examination in two hours.
我在两小时之内做完了考题。
另外,它还可以表示"……时间之后",与将来时连用:Mother will be back in ten days.
