LIVING IN A COMMUNITY
Drummer Hits the Road
Ma Ming,drummer①for the rock band “Storm”[1],had to pack② his bags. He moved out of③ his rented flat after complaints④ from his neighbours about disturbing the peace.
[1]画线部分为同位语,进一步解释说明主语。
Being single,Ma Ming often held parties at night,but the biggest problem was his tendency⑤ to drum late at night. Ma Ming’s neighbours said they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise[2]. The flat-owner said if he had known that Ma Ming was a drummer,he wouldn’t have rented the flat to him[3]. The neighbours quickly realised they were in trouble when he moved in. And from then on,they rarely got a full night’s sleep. They couldn’t relax or read a book without plugging⑥ their ears. One neighbour also claimed that Ma Ming had a bad influence on⑦ his teenage son.
[2]句中being exposed to such noise为动词-ing形式短语作状语。
[3]if引导与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句。
In the end,the community council took action⑧. “We took a vote⑨,and came to a resolution⑩. We gave Ma Ming a warning⑪. We told him that he ought to cease⑫ drumming or leave the property⑬,”a council member said. “Getting enough sleep is important for people’s health[4] and,after such a chorus⑭ of complaints,we had to take action. ”
[4]句中Getting enough sleep为动词-ing形式短语作主语。
Ma Ming’s departure⑮has pleased his neighbours. “Life will go back to⑯ normal now,” they said.
For Ma Ming’s version of the story,we found him in a hotel[5] in Shanghai. Ma Ming felt that they were prejudiced⑰ against him. He’s bitter⑱ over the fact that people thought of his music as “noise”[6]. Otherwise he didn’t really mind having to leave the flat. “Living in a hotel means the hotel staff makes the bed every day and I don’t have to do my own washing!Anyhow⑲,I’m now looking for a remote⑳ house on the edge㉑ of the city. ”

Grandpa Arrested㉒ After One Shower Too Many
Eighty-year-old retired tailor㉓,James McKay,spent Saturday night in a cell after hitting 30-year-old Keith Smith over the head with his walking stick. McKay’s wife,Laurene said that,while McKay is usually a peaceful and pleasant㉔ person[7],he had been driven to this act of violence㉕ by literally㉖ getting wet just once too often. He could no longer㉗ tolerate㉘ it.
[7]while引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管”。
Smith lives above the McKays. He is a keen㉙ gardener,and also a fish collector. Unfortunately,the water he sent over his balcony㉚ every day ended up on the McKays’ floor,or too often,on the unsuspecting㉛ McKays themselves.
“For the last two weeks,since Smith moved into the flat above us[8],we dared not go onto our balcony,” said Laurene. She added that it wasn’t only the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plants that bothered㉜ them,but also the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We’d be sitting there happily reading our newspapers,when suddenly so much water would come from above that we’d be as wet as if we had showered with our clothes on[9]! We could hardly get rid of㉝ the smell of fish!”
[8]since引导时间状语从句,意为“自……以来”。
[9]as if引导方式状语从句,意为“好像”。
And on Saturday evening it was just too much. “It was James’ birthday,” Laurene recalled㉞,“and it was such a beautiful night to enjoy the starry㉟ night outside. I made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine[10],but James didn’t get to blow them out. ” Instead,Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet through. “I have never seen him move so fast and I couldn’t stop him. He was up there in a flash㊱. ”
[10]as引导限制性定语从句,指代先行词a great sight。
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his ways from now on. And what of James McKay?As he left the police station,a large crowd of㊲ supporters sang him “Happy Birthday”.“Definitely the most exciting birthday ever!” said the cheerful㊳ old man. “The best since my youth,I’d say!”

社区生活
鼓手走人
摇滚乐队“暴风雨”的鼓手马明不得不收拾行李。他搬出租用的公寓,因为邻居们投诉他扰乱社区的宁静。
马明是个单身汉,经常在晚上开派对,但最大的问题是他常常打鼓到深夜。邻居说他们都快被这样的噪音逼疯了。房东说如果他知道马明是个鼓手,就不会把房子租给他。马明一搬进来,邻居们很快就意识到麻烦来了。从那以后,他们很少能安安稳稳地睡一整晚觉。如果不堵住耳朵,他们就不能放松或者看书。有个邻居还说,马明对他十几岁的儿子造成了不良影响。
最后,居委会采取了行动。一位居委会成员说:“我们投票表决,达成了一项决议。我们警告马明,告诉他应该停止打鼓,否则就搬走。充足的睡眠对人们的健康很重要,收到这样的集体投诉,我们不得不采取行动。”
马明的离开让他的邻居很高兴。“生活终于要恢复正常了,”他们说。
我们在上海的一家酒店里找到了马明,想听听他对这个事件的看法。马明觉得邻居对自己有偏见。他对人们认为他的音乐是“噪音”的事实感到痛心。不过他并不介意离开公寓。“住在旅馆里就意味着每天有服务员整理床铺,我也不必自己洗衣服!不过,我现在正在城郊找位置稍微偏僻一点的房子。”
洗了“大澡”而被捕的爷爷
80岁的退休裁缝詹姆斯·迈奇,周六的晚上是在监狱里度过的,因为用拐杖打了30岁的基思·史密斯的头。迈奇的妻子劳瑞恩说,他平时是个平和、和善的人,是因为再三被淋湿,他才会做出这种暴力的行为。他实在是忍无可忍了。
史密斯住在迈奇家楼上。他热爱园艺,喜欢养鱼。但不幸的是,他每天在阳台上浇的水最后都落到迈奇家的地板上,也经常洒在毫无防备的迈奇夫妇身上。
劳瑞恩说:“过去两周,自从史密斯搬到楼上的公寓,我们都不敢去阳台了。”她补充说,让他们烦恼的不仅是史密斯给植物浇水时洒到阳台上的水,还有他清洗鱼缸的方式。“我们本来高兴地坐在阳台上看报纸,突然间很多水从天而降,把我们都给浇湿了,就像穿着衣服洗了个澡一样!我们很难去掉(身上的)鱼腥味!”
这周六晚上实在是忍无可忍了。劳瑞恩回忆道:“那天是詹姆斯的生日,是个特别美丽的夜晚,可以坐在外面享受夜晚的星空。我给他做了个生日蛋糕,你可以想象点上蜡烛有多么漂亮,可詹姆斯却没能把蜡烛吹灭。”然而,史密斯从阳台上倒掉他的一个大鱼缸中的水,将迈奇夫妇和蛋糕都淋了个通透。“我从没见过他动作那么快,根本没办法阻止,他一下子就冲到楼上去了。”
史密斯不会让警方进一步追究这件事。他还承诺从现在开始改变他的方式。而詹姆斯·迈奇呢?他离开警察局时,一大群支持者为他唱起了《生日快乐》歌。“这绝对是最激动人心的一次生日啦!”老人快乐地说道。“我得说,这是自打我年轻以来最棒的一次生日!”
