新概念英语第一册 Lesson117-118笔记 Lesson 117 单词表 1 dining room 饭厅 2 coin [kɔin] n.硬币 3 mouth [mauθ] n.嘴 4 swallow [swɔləu] v.吞下 5 later ['leitə] ad.后来 6 toilet ['tɔilit] n.厕所,盥洗室 课文及译文 When my husband was going into the dining room this morning, 今天早晨我丈夫走进饭厅时, he dropped some coins on the floor. 把一些硬币掉在地上了。 There were coins everywhere. 到处都是硬币。 We looked for them, but we could not find them all. 我们虽然找了,但没有把它们全部找到。 While we were having breakfast, our little boy, Tommy, found two small coins on the floor. 正当我们吃早饭时,我们的小男孩汤米在地上找到两枚小硬币。 He put them both into his mouth. 他把这两枚硬币全都放进嘴里。 We both tried to get the coins, but it was too late. 我们俩都试图把这两枚硬币拿出来,但太迟了。 Tommy had already swallowed them! 汤米已经把硬币咽了下去! Late that morning, when I was doing the housework, My husband phoned me from the office. 那天下午的晚些时候,当我正做家务时,我丈夫从办公室打来电话。 'How's Tommy?' he asked. “汤米怎么样?”他问。 'I don't know,' I answered, “我不知道”,我回答说, 'Tommy's been to the toilet three times this morning, “今天上午汤米去了3次厕所了, but I haven't had any change yet!' 但我还没看到硬币!” 课文详解 1.look for,寻找(强调动作过程);find,找到(强调寻找的结果)。 2.Tommy had already swallowed them! 汤米已经把硬币咽了下去! 句中用了过去完成时形式 had swallowed。过去完成时用来表示过去两个动作中发生在前的那个动作。显然,句中咽下硬币的动作发生在夫妇俩能够把硬币从汤米手中抢过来之前。 3.later that morning,那天上午的晚些时候。 later是副词late的比较级。 4.any change change是个多义词,既有“零钱”的意思,也有“变化”的意思。此处既可指“硬币”;也可指“情况的变化”。这是双关(pun /p)n/)修辞法。 重点语法 过去进行时 构成:be的过去式+现在分词。 过去进行时表示过去某时正在进行的情况或动作。过去进行时和一般过去时经常在同一个句子里使用。过去进行时表示过去正在进行的情况或动作,一般过去时则表示比较短暂的动作或事件。 过去进行时的时间状语从句一般由when,while及(just)as等来引导,说明主句中动作发生时的背景。此外,可用 while或 at the time等强调同时进行的两种或几种动作。请看例句: When I was doing the housework, my husband telephoned me from the office. 当我正在干家务时,我丈夫从办公室打电话给我。 While I was listening to the stereo, my mother came into the room. 我正在听立体声节目时,我母亲进房间了。 Just as she was cleaning her shoes, George knocked at the door. 她正在擦鞋时,乔治敲门了。 While I was cooking the dinner ,he was working in the garden. 我做饭时,他正在花园里劳作。 Lesson 118 T: What were you doing when he arrived? 他到的时候你在干什么? I was having a bath.我正在洗澡。 S: I was having a bath when he
