课文重难点 Further notes on the text

1.Dan Robinson has been worried all week. 丹·鲁宾逊焦虑了整整一个星期。

worried 在这里可以当成是形容词，

表示"焦虑的"、"担心的"。worry 也可以作及物动词，表示"使担心/发愁"等：

She appears to be worried by/ aboutsomething.好像有什么事使她发愁。(用于被动语态时，过去分词与形容词意义差不多)

2.the local police，当地警察局。

local 可以表示"地方性的"或"当地的"、"本地的"：a local newspaper 地方性报纸

local news 本地新闻

local shops邻近的商店

3.Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police…丹奇怪警察为什么找他……

(1) wonder表示"想知道"时后面往往跟疑问词引导的从句：She wondered who that man was/ what hadhappened. 她想知道那个人是谁/到底发生了什么事。

(2) want用于被动语态时可以表示"想与(某人见面、谈话等)"或"缉拿"、"追捕"：

Please wait a minute. I'm wanted on the phone.请等一下。有我的电话。

This is the man (who is) wanted by the police.这就是警察在追捕的那个人。

4.a smiling policeman ，一位面带笑容的警察。

smiling 为现在分词，作定语，

其作用相当于形容词。还可以说：

a sleeping dog 一只睡着的狗

a worried face 一张焦虑的脸

5.Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in asmall village four hundred miles away. 那位警察对他说，那辆自行车是5天前在400英里外的一个小村里发现的。

(1)这句话实际上是一个间接引语(cf.第15课语法)，其正常语序应为： The policeman told him that five daysago the bicycle was picked up…

语序变化后，the policeman told him成了插入成分，引导从句的that也被省略，引述的部分被分割成两部分。

(2) four hundred miles away修饰 village，相当于从句 which wasfour hundred milesaway。

(3) pick up的含义之一为"(偶然地、无意地)获得"、"找到"、"学会"：

I've picked up a bad cold.我得了重感冒。

I picked up some French while travelling in Paris.在巴黎游览期间我学了几句法语。

He picked up the book in a small library.他在一个小图书馆发现了那本书。

6.It is now being sent to his home by train.现在正用火车给他运回家来。

这句话是被动语态用于现在进行时，

其结构为"am/is/are+ be-ing+过去分词"(cf.第10课语法)：

The clavichord is being repaired by a friend of myfather's.父亲的一个朋友正在修理这架古钢琴。

语法 Grammar in use

被动语态(3)

在第10课的语法中，我们学习了被动语态的基本形式。一般说来，无论是主动语态还是被动语态，句子的主语往往是说话者认为比较重要或想要强调的。如果说话人想避免用不明确的词(如someone， aperson等)作主语，就常常使用被动语态。在"动词+宾语+不定式"结构中，既可以让动词用被动语态而不定式用主动语态，也可以让不定式用被动语态：

Someone told Mary to meet us.有人通知玛丽来接我们。(主语不明确)
