# 唯独没有考虑到天气

## 课文学习台 {#study}

### 第1段

My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.

中文理解：我的老朋友哈里森在回到英国以前曾多年居住在地中海地区。过去他常幻想退休后到英国，并计划在乡间安顿下来。他刚一回到英国就买下了一幢房子住了进去。 但紧接着他就开始抱怨那里的天气了。因为尽管当时还是夏天，雨却总是下个不停，而且常常冷得厉害。在阳光下生活了那么多年的哈里森对此感到惊奇。他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过一样。最后，他再也忍受不住了，还没等安顿下来就卖掉了房子，离开了这个国家。他多年来的幻想从此破灭。哈里森考虑到了所有事情，唯独没有考虑到天气。

* **dreamed of**：梦想或想到 / 彼此；of 后可接 -ing；each other 表示关系是双向的。

* **complain about**：抱怨；诉说不适；两种介词有重叠，但要留意原句是在抱怨情况还是描述不适。

* **even though**：以便或以致 / 尽管 / 即使 / 仿佛；先判断两部分的关系；even though 说已知情况，even if 常说假设。

* **In the end**：最后；最终；适合一连串变化之后交代结果；不要与具体地点的 at the end of 混淆。

#### 1. My old friend had lived… before he returned.

复合句，主句主谓结构，后面是before 引导的时间状语从句，主谓结构.

\[关键句型] had lived 为过去完成时，往往表示两件过去的事情，哪一件发生在前，我们了解到老朋友住在地中海的事情发生在他回来以前，所以从句用了一般过去时，主句用了过去完成时.

#### 2. He had dreamed of retiring and had planned to settle down.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，均为主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] 均为had done，过去完成时.

#### 3. He had returned than he bought a house and went…

这里是 no sooner…than… 固定关联结构，表示“一……就……”。前一部分用 had returned，后一部分说明紧接着发生的 bought a house and went to live there。不能把 no sooner 略去后，只解释 than 表示“就”。回来后便立刻买房 了，后面是主谓宾结构和省略了主语的主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 本句中回来是比之前买房这件事还要先发生的事情，所以回来用了过去完成时，而买房只用了一般过去时.

#### 4. he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was summer, it rained and

it was cold.

并列复合句，for 在这里是连词，表由于、因为，通常用于书面语，所引导的句子对于前句作解释说明. for 的前句为主谓宾结构，动词不定式短语作宾语；for 后面的句子是复合句，even though 引导让步状语从句，主系表结构，后面的主句为并列句，由 and 连接，主谓结构和主系表结构.

#### 5. Harrison got a shock.

简单句，主谓宾结构.

#### 6. He acted as if he had lived…

复合句，主句主谓结构，as if 引导方式状语从句，主谓结构，过去完成时.

#### 7. it was more than he could bear.

复合句，主句主系表结构，后面是比较从句，he could bear 中 bear 的宾语由比较结构中的对应关系理解，意为“超过了他能忍受的程度”，不是 bear 本身没有宾语。

#### 8. He had had time when he sold the house and left the country.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面是when 引导的时间状语从句，是并列句，都是主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] 本句的主句为过去完成时had done 形式，这里had had time 的第一个 had 是助动词，第二个had 则是have 的过去分词.

#### 9. The dream he had had ended.

复合句，主句主谓结构，中间是省略了that 的定语从句(that) he had had. 过去完成时的构成跟上句一致.

#### 10. Harrison had thought of everything.

简单句，主谓宾结构.
