# 到底几点了？

## 课文学习台 {#study}

### 第1段

People often collect things. Stamps, books and records are fairly common. But the strangest collection I have ever seen belongs to a man who has 1,500 clocks. There are clocks in every room of his house. The living room is lined with shelves which have been filled with clocks. As there is not enough room for so many clocks, the man has filled several trucks and stored them in the garage. His wife complains every day about the work she has to do, for it is not easy to dust several hundred clocks. She also complains about the noise. Each clock keeps its own time, so chimes can be heard almost any time during the day and night. In her opinion, however, there is something even worse than dust and noise. Even with so many clocks around, she never knows what time it is!

中文理解：人们经常收藏东西。邮票、书籍和唱片都相当常见。但我所见过的最奇怪的收藏，要属一位拥有1,500个时钟的人了。他家的每个房间都有时钟。客厅里排列了很多架子，上面摆满了时钟。由于没有足够的地方摆放这么多的时钟，这个人把几辆卡车都装满时钟，放进了车库。他的妻子每天都在抱怨她必须要做的事情，因为给几百个时钟除尘并非易事。她还抱怨时钟的噪音。每个时钟都走着自己的时间，所以几乎在白天和晚上的任何时候都能听到钟响。然而，在她看来，还有比除尘和噪音更糟糕的事情。即使周围有这么多的时钟，她也从来不知道现在到底几点了！

* **filled with**：装满 / 在某人看来；filled with 与 full of 的搭配要配对记，别混成 full with。

* **day and night**：发信号或消息 / 在……结束时 / 日夜；at the end of 明确某个末尾；in the end 总结最终结果。

#### 1. People collect things.

简单句，主谓宾结构，表示经常发生的事情.

#### 2. Stamps, books and records are common.

\[1] 选自《新概念英语2》，北京：外语教学与研究出版社2019.7. 第119页.

简单句，主系表结构.

#### 3. the collection I have seen belongs to a man who has clocks.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，一般现在时. 有一个省略了that 的定语从句修饰 collection，主谓结构，现在完成时have done；句末是who 引导的定语从句修饰man，主谓宾结构.

#### 4. There are clocks.

there be 句型.

#### 5. The living room is lined…which have been filled…

复合句，主句主谓结构，这里line 用作动词，排列. 后面是which 引导的定语从句，主谓结构.

#### 6. As there is enough room, the man has filled several trucks and stored them.

复合句，主句是并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构，has filled 是现在完成时，表示他已把几辆卡车装满，并非 have + 宾语 + 过去分词的使役结构；后句省略了主语的主谓宾结构. 句首是as 引导的原因状语从句，there be 句型.

#### 7. His wife complains about the work she has to do, for it is easy to dust…

并列复合句，for 作并列连词，前句为复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，complain about 动词词组作谓语，后面跟了一个省略了that 的定语从句；后句为主系表结构，it 是形式主语，to dust 不定式短语作真正的主语，我们可以进行细分to dust several hundred clocks. 在这里dust 作动词，to remove dirt，擦去灰尘.

#### 8. She complains about the noise.

简单句，主谓宾结构.

#### 9. Each clock keeps time, so chimes can be heard.

并列句，so 作连词，前句为主谓宾结构，后句为主谓结构，被动语态.

#### 10. there is something.

there be 句型.

#### 11. she knows what time it is!

复合句，主句主谓 + what 引导的宾语从句结构，该从句为主系表结构.
