The secretary told me that Mr.Harmsworth would see me.I felt very nervous when I went into his office.He did not look up from his desk when I entered.After I had sat down,he said that business was very bad.He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.Twenty people had already left.I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr.Harmsworth,'I said in a weak voice. 'Don't interrupt,'he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year! 》 New words生词 secretary['sekratari]n.秘书 (secret秘密) nervous['na:vas]a.精神紧张的 (relaxed轻松的，自在的) afford[a'fb:dv.负担得起 (can't afford负担不起，如：We can't afford to wait.我们等不起) weak[wi:ka.弱的 (strong强壮的) interrupt[,inta'rpt)v.插话，打断 (disturb打扰，妨碍) Grammar focus语法 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。 本句是我转述秘书的话，是间接引语。间接引语就是用自己的话来转述别人的话。 间接引语是本节课的语法重点。 陈述句的间接引语，应改为由that引导的宾语从句，上面这句话中me和从句部 分Mr.Harmsworth would see me这个句子都是作为动词told的宾语；与下文中 的句子结构一样： He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. 他告诉我，公司支付不起这么庞大的工资开支。 句中afford表示有能力做某事或买得起某个东西，如： If I can afford it,I will buy it. 要是我买得起的话，我就会买它。 He said that business was very bad. 他说生意非常不景气。 本句也是一个间接引语：在语法结构上business was very bad.这个句子作为动词 said的宾语，所以它也是一个宾语从句。 文末的句子，变成间接引语后，也是一个由that引导的双宾语结构： 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1000英镑的额外收入。 本句是一个由and连接的并列句，and后面的句子省略了主语he;在结构上and 后面的句子也是一个省略了that的宾语从句。原句本该是He told me that I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year,.其中me和句子I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year..作动词told的宾语。 1000英镑按2018年目前的汇率(1英镑=8.924元)折合成人民币就是8924元， 相当于每个月涨薪744元 2.I felt very nervous when I went into his office.我走进他的办公室，感到非常紧张。 这是一个由when引导的时间状语从句，如下文中的句子也是一个由when引导 的时间状语从句： He did not look up from his desk when I entered. 我进去的时候，他连头也没抬。 look up在此指抬头看；look up还可以表示查找，如： You can look up this word in the vocabulary.
