Lesson 57 文本  Can I help you, madam? A woman in blue jeans stood at the window of an expensive shop. Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress was sold. The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day. She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After seeking out the rude assistant she asked for the same dress. Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time with great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it. She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.  文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1. serve vt., vi. （1）帮佣，当仆人，给……干活： Mary served (in) the family as a cook for more than ten years.玛丽在那户人家当了十多年厨师。（2）服务；服役；供职：Have you ever served in the army?你服过兵役吗？She served the firm as a secretary for two years.她在这家公司当过两年秘书。（3）接待（顾客）：The assistant was eager to serve her this time.那个售货员这回接待她的态度非常殷勤。Tom served in a restaurant when he was 18.汤姆18岁时在餐馆当过侍者。 2.  make与let 这两个动词后面都跟不带to的不定式，但意义和用法上有区别。 （1）make+名词/代词+不带to的不定式表示“迫使”、“致使”：That beard makes you look much older than you really are.您的胡须使您看上去比您的实际年龄大得多。What made him change his mind?是什么使他改变了主意？She made the assistant bring almost everything in the window.她迫使那位售货员把橱窗里几乎所有的东西都拿了出来。 在被动语态中含有上述意义的make后面必须带to: He was made to work fourteen hours a day.他被迫一天工作14小时。He was made to change his mind.他被迫改变了主意。 （2）let有两种用法，一是用于祈使句，建议包括说话者在内的人采取某一行动：Let's not waste any more time.我们别再浪费时间了。Let's take a taxi.我们坐出租车吧。其否定形式除Let's not…外也可以用Don't let's…:Don't let's waste any more time.我们别再浪费时间了。 这种祈使句中的let相当于助动词。 let的第2种用法是表示“允许”，其结构与make相同，即 let+名词/代词+不带to的不定式。如果宾
