课文详注 Further notes on the text
1.The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. 秘书告诉我说哈姆斯沃斯先生要见我。
would 在这里不是表示单纯的过去将来时,而是表示"想……"、"要……"的意思:
What would you like to have?
你想要吃(喝)什么?
John wouldn't lend me his bicycle.
约翰不愿意把他的自行车借给我。
2.He did not look up from his desk when I entered. 我进去的时候,他连头也没抬。
在这句话的look up中,look是它的本义"看"、"瞧"。look up一般表示原先在埋头干什么之后抬头看:
He looked up(from his book)when he heard a noise.
他听到声音后就抬起了头。(原先在读书)
3.I knew that my turn had come. 我知道这次该轮到我了。
turn在这里是名词,意为"轮流"、"轮班"、"(依次轮流时各自的)一次机会":
I have already asked two questions. Now it's your turn.
我已经问了两个问题。该轮到你了。
When his turn came, he couldn't speak any word.
轮到他时,他却一个字也说不出来。
4.'Mr. Harmsworth,'I said in a weak voice."哈姆斯沃斯先生,"我无力地说。
weak在这里不是指身体虚弱,而是指声音"微弱"、"无力",因为怕被开除而感到紧张。
5.Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
然后他微笑了一下告诉我说,我每年将得到
1,000英镑的额外收入。
(1)extra 表示"额外的"、"外加的"、"份外的":
On Sundays, I usually get some extra sleep.
星期天我通常要多睡一会儿。
Last month, he was paid an extra hundred pounds.
他上个月多得了100英镑。
(2)a在这里可译为"每一":
I went to London once a month.
我每月去一次伦敦。
Jack telephoned Pauline four times a day.
杰克每天给波琳打4次电话。
语法 Grammar in use
间接引语(Indirect speech)
把某人所说的话告诉另外一个人时,应该使用间接引语(有的语法书称之为"转述引语")。引述动词(如say,tell)可能是现在时,也可能是过去时(最常用)。间接陈述句的时态往往受引述动词的影响。引述陈述句时最常用的动词是say和tell。它们之间的区别是tell后面必须跟表示人称的间接宾语(tell sb….),而say后面则可跟或不跟to +讲话对象。如果需要提到听话者,tell +间接宾语通常比say + to +sb. 更常用。在say和tell后面一般不可加逗号。如果间接引语中的引述动词是现在时,那么其后的时态通常与原来口头陈述句的时态相同。转述刚刚说完的话时通常如此;引述动词如果是过去时,那么间接引语中的时态通常要"往回移"(即"倒移")。一条普遍的规则是"现在时变为过去时,过去时变为过去完成时"。直接引语:
'I can see him now!'
"我现在可以见他!"
