  1.If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834, the great clock would never have been erected. 如果不是国会大厦在1834年被焚毁的话,这座大钟永远也不会建造。
  (1)这句话用的是虚拟语气,即第3类条件句,表示与过去的事实
  相反的一种假设。(cf.第64课语法)
  (2)the Houses of Parliament,国会大厦。由于英国议会是由上议院(House of Lords)和下议院(House of Commons)组成的,所
  以Houses为复数形式。

  The hospital was burned down last month.那家医院上个月被烧毁了。
  2.Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was respon-  sible for the making of the clock…"大本"钟得名于本杰明·霍尔爵士,……他负责建造大钟。
  (1)Sir用于英国人的全名(或名字)之前时表示"爵士"(不单独用
  于姓之前),如 Sir John Gilbert(约翰·吉尔伯特爵士)或 Sir John(约翰爵士),但不能称 Sir Gilbert。
  (2)responsible for表示"对……需负责任/承担责任的":
  Who is responslble for the accident?谁应对这起事故负责?

  语法 Grammar in use
  复习第60~69课部分语法
  通过这几课的语法学习,我们知道在表示将来时的句子中,要
  在时间状语从句中使用现在时,同时也要在第1类条件句中用
  现在时来表示;学习了将来完成进行时和过去完成进行时的形
  式和用法;学习了第3类条件句、情态助动词 must, have to, should和ought to;学习了用于使役式的动词 have,以及用于介
  词+动名词结构中的被动语态:
  The Thompsons will move to a new flat when their baby is born.孩子出生以后,汤普森一家将搬到一套新的公寓去住。
  By this time next week, I will have been working for this firm for twenty years.到下星期此刻,我就已经为这家公司工作了20年了。(将来完成进行时通常要和某个时间状语连用,这个状语往往表示"到/截止……时候")
  Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control.消防队员们同那场森林大火搏斗了将近三个星期才最后把火势控制住。(过去完成进行时与将来完成进行时一样,也要有时间状语;它们都强调动作的持续性)
  If I had worked harder at school, I'd have got a better job.要是我上学时勤奋一些,我就会有较好的工作了。(第3 类条件句表示与事实相反的虚拟语气)
  We should/ought to arrest him, but we shall let him off this time.我们应该逮捕它,但这次我们饶了它。
  He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.他本该知道警察绝不会允许这类事情发生。(should+ have+过去分词表示过去应该做或完成而没有做的事)
  The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France.法国政府让人把飞机包装起来,一部分一部分地搬回法国。(have+名词/宾格代词+过去分词表示让别人为自己做某事)
  After being robbed, the man called the police.那人遭抢劫后给警方打了电话。(after+动名词的被动形式相当于时间状语从句,但主语必须一致)
