NCE2 第十一课笔记

欧欧哥哥

I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'

参考译文

我正在一家饭馆吃饭, 托尼.斯蒂尔走了进来. 托尼曾在一家律师事务所工作, 而现在正在一家银行上班. 他的薪水很高, 但他却总是向朋友借钱, 并且从来不还. 托尼看见了我, 就走过来和我坐到一张桌子前. 他从未向我借过钱. 当他吃饭时, 我提出向他借20英镑. 令我惊奇的是, 他立刻把钱给了我. “我还从未向你借过钱, “托尼说道, “所以现在你可以替我付饭钱了!”

never=not   前面不需要加助动词

pay在这里的意思是“偿还（债务等）”，还可解释为“付，支付（价款、账单）等”。Pay既是及物动词也可以是不及物动词。

4、Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table.

【Key structures】　

复习动词时态：

The Taj Mahal ______ (build) in the seventeenth century for the emperor Shah Jehan. A few years after he  ______ (become) ruler, his wife, Mumtaz-i-Mahal, ______ (die). The Taj Mahal ______ (build) in her honour. Experts ______ (call) in from many parts of the world to construct the domes and to decorate the walls. The Taj Mahal which ______ (begin) in 1632  and ______ (complete) in 1654  ______ (cost) a fortune. Up to the present day, it ______ (visit) by millions of people.

The Taj Mahal      泰姬陵

in one's honour     为了纪念某人

up to the present day=up to now

was built；became；died；was built；were called  (call in:召集)；was begun；was completed；costhas been visited

【Special Difficulties】

动词+名词/代词+带to的不定式

某些动词之后的带to的不定式之前可以有一个名词或代词。有些动词后的名词/代词可有可无，但有和没有经常影响影响整个句子的意义。

I asked him to lend me twenty pounds.

I want to speak to John.

I want you to speak to John.

Would you like to do sth.?

I’d like sb. to do sth.

I’d like to do sth.

还有一些动词后面用不定式作宾语时，其后通常必须有一名词或代词。这类动词有allow，advise，help，teach，tell，request等，这类动词不但可用于主动语态，也可用于被动语态：

  We were not allowed to see the picture.

hope一定不能说hope sb. to do sth.，正确用法是hope to do (希望自己)或hope that(希望别人)
