Lesson 60 文本  The future At a village fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky. I went into her tent and she told me to sit down. After I had given her some money, she looked into a crystal ball and said: 'A relation of yours is coming to see you. She will be arriving this evening and intends to stay for a few days. The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. A woman you know well will rush towards you. She will speak to you and then she will lead you away from this place. That is all.' As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me. 'Where have you been hiding ?' she asked impatiently. 'Your sister will be here in less than an hour and we must be at the station to meet her. We are late already.' As she walked away, I followed her out of the fair.   文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1. 由名词+名词构成的复合名词 课文中，the village fair（乡村集市）是由两个名词形成的复合名词。在这类名词中，第1个名词通常起形容词（或修饰语）的作用，而且一般都用单数。这类复合名词可以代替of结构，如a car key（汽车钥匙），a chair leg（椅子腿）；也可以理解为第1个词指地点，第2个词指该地点中的东西，如a village pub（乡村酒吧），a world record（世界纪录）， a kitchen sink（厨房洗涤槽）；也可以表示时间，如 a Christmas card（圣诞卡），an evening dress （晚礼服），afternoon tea（下午茶）；也可以表示分类，如a horror film（恐怖电影），a flower shop（花店），a taxi-driver（出租车司机）；也可以表示材料，如a fur coat（裘皮大衣），a gold watch（金表），cigarette ends（香烟头）。 2. relation n.（1）（事物间的）关系，关联（不可数）：I know little about the relation of/between time and space.对于时间与空间之间的关系我知之甚少。Is there any relation between the hot snake and the forest fire?在那带电的蛇与森林火灾之间有什么关联吗？ （2）（国家、人民等之间的）关系，往来（可数）：Friendly relations have been developed between the two cities.这两座城市建立了友好往来。They have broken relations with that firm.他们与那家公司已断绝关系/往来。 （3）亲戚，亲属（可数）：Dan is a relation of mine.丹是我的一个亲戚。A near relation of yours is coming to see you.你的一个近亲将要来看你。 二）课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.
