The temptation to steal is greater than ever before — especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week! 中文理解：人们不再像以前那样诚实了。偷窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候都更强烈——特别是在大的商店里。一名侦探最近注意上了一位穿着讲究的妇女，她总是在星期一上午进入一家大商场。有一个星期一，当这位妇女走进这家商场时，里面的人比往常少，因此，侦探比较容易监视她。这位妇女先是买了几样小商品。过了一会儿，她又选了商场里最昂贵的一件衣服，把它递给了售货员。那位售货员以最快的速度为她包好了衣服。然后，那妇女拿过包就走出了商场，根本没有付钱。 她被逮捕后，侦探发现原来那售货员是她的女儿。那姑娘每星期“送” 她母亲一件免费的衣服！ * **found out**：查明；弄清；用于发现信息或原因；寻找具体物品通常用 look for。 #### 这一段的读法与用法 0. 标题 我们把标题的短语还原成被动句，Shopping is made to be easy. 标题的sth. made easy 是常见的标题用法，有一本非常有名的英语词汇书就叫Word power made easy，有兴趣的同学们可以买一本拓展词汇量. #### 1. People are honest as they were. 复合句，主句主系表结构，as 引导比较状语从句，were 承接前文的 honest，表语因上下文明确而省略，不应把 were 当作表示动作的不及物动词，从句因为讲的是过去的人们如何，故用了一般过去时，同时，这里主句的people 是复数，故从句用they，系动词用were 而非was. 人们不如以前那么……了，非常适合背下来成为万能替换句子，比如People are \[not] \[so] patient \[as they \[once] were.] 人们不如以前那么耐心了. 很多作文都可以这么来一句，新概念的课文里面值得替换的句子太多了. \[关键句型] 本课复习比较结构as…as… #### 2. The temptation is greater… 简单句，主系表结构. #### 3. A detective watched a woman who went… 复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面是who 引导的定语从句，主谓结构. #### 4. there were fewer people when the woman came in, so it was easier for… 并列复合句，so 连接前后两句，前句为复合句，主句为there be 句型，跟一个when 引导的时间状语从句，主谓结构；后句为主系表结构，it 是形式主语，真正的主语是整个不定式结构 for the detective to watch her，其中 for the detective 说明 watch 的逻辑主语，不能把 for the detective 单独当作真正主语。 \[关键句型] 本句fewer 的表达需要留意. #### 6. she chose one and handed it… who wrapped it up… 复合句，主句为并列句，主谓宾结构，有chose 和handed 两个并列的谓语. 后面 who 引导的定语从句为主谓宾结构，其中谓语为动词短语wrap up 担任，代词it 作宾语，放在短语之间. \[关键句型] as quickly as possible 也是比较结构. #### 7. the woman took the parcel and walked… 并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句主谓宾结构；后句为省略了主语的主谓结构. 这里without doing sth.或without sth. 常用于表达没干什么，是讲了一件事情之后，这个表达可以进行补充. #### 8. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. 复合句，主句主谓 + that 引导的宾语从句结构，该从句为主系表结构；句首是when 引导的时间状语从句，主谓结构，被动语态，被捕了. #### 9. The girl 'gave' her mother a dress. 简单句，主谓宾结构，这里give 接双宾语. ## 学完这一课 换一个时间、人物或地点，用三句话讲一件自己的小事。 [Nce · 本册复习台](/new-concept/book-2/review) · [三册选择地图](/new-concept/) *译文与解析据吴应时整理资料及本站首轮审校稿；词伙与练习提示为本站学习设计。原PDF第82—83页，2022年3月第1版。*
