# 嗜酒的鬼魂

## 课文学习台 {#study}

### 第1段

A public house which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr. Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.

中文理解：伊恩·汤普森先生最近才买的一个小酒店现在又要转让出去。 汤普森先生之所以想脱手，是因为那里常闹鬼。他告诉我有天夜里他怎么也睡不着，因为他听到酒水吧里传来一阵奇怪的响声。 第二天早上，他发现酒水吧的门被椅子堵上了，家具也被挪动过。 虽然汤普森临睡觉时把灯关了，但早晨灯却都亮着。他还说他发现了5只空的威士忌瓶子，肯定是鬼魂昨天晚上喝的。当我暗示说一定是村里有些人来喝酒不付钱时，汤普森先生摇了摇头。村里的人已经告诉他，即使他把小酒店白送人，他们也不要。

* **even if**：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。

#### 1. A public house which… is up for sale.

复合句，主句主系表结构，其中表语up for sale 是固定搭配，就是挂牌放售的意思，可以与put 连用，put the public house up for sale. 其中有一个which 引导的定语从句修饰该house，为主谓结构.

Ian 发音为/ˈiːən/，对于不常见的人名的读音，即便是英语母语人士也不能确保读对，往往是会试探性地读出来，然后跟对方确认，就像我们遇到别人姓名中有生僻字，直接让对方告诉我们怎么读即可.

#### 2. Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，be going to do 动词词组作谓语，后面是because 引导的原因状语从句，为主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 本课为复习课，本句复习第36课be going to do 的表达.

#### 3. He told me that he could not go to sleep because he heard a noise coming from the bar.

复合句，主句主谓宾 + 宾语从句结构，that 引导的宾语从句是主谓结构，该宾语从句中含有一个because 引导的原因状语从句，为主谓宾 + 宾补结构.

\[关键句型] 本句复习第39课，间接引语，he told me that…

#### 4. he found that the doors had been blocked and the furniture had been moved.

复合句，主句主谓 + 宾语从句结构，该宾语从句为and 连接的并列句，均为主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 本句复习第45课被动语态，had been moved.

#### 5. Though Mr. Thompson had turned the lights off before he went…, they were on.

复合句，我们从though 引导的让步状语从句看起，该从句为主谓宾结构，the lights 是宾语，其中谓语是由动词短语 turn off 构成的，不过宾语放在了该动词短语之间，所以我们在副词 off 处标记为谓语. 该让步状语从句中又含有一个before 引导的时间状语从句，为主谓结构.

主句是they were on，主系表结构，主语they 指lights，这里 on 作表语，表示灯处于“开着”的状态，与前文 turn off 形成对照，但不是把 turned on 简写成 on，\[When something {such as a machine or an electric light} is on,] it is functioning or in use.

\[关键句型] 复习第38课过去完成时，本句had turned.

#### 6. He said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which…

复合句，主句主谓 + 宾语从句结构，宾语从句为主谓宾结构，后面有一个which 引导的定语从句，为主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 复习第38课过去完成时，本句had found.

#### 7. When I suggested that…, Mr. Thompson shook his head.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，句首是when 引导的时间状语从句，主谓 + 宾语从句结构，该宾语从句为主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 复习第41课过去完成时，must, have to 和need 的用法.

#### 8. The villagers have told him that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.

复合句，主句主谓宾 + that 引导的宾语从句结构，宾语从句为主谓宾结构，该从句中又包含一个even if 引导的让步状语从句，为主谓宾结构，其中give away 为动词词组作谓语.

\[关键句型] 本句 even if 表示“即使”，属于开放的让步条件；主句 will not accept、从句 gives 都未采用表示反事实的虚拟形式，不能仅凭 if 就判作虚拟语气。
