# 你想对我说什么吗？

## 课文学习台 {#study}

### 第1段

Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer. My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool. He knew I collected match boxes and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

中文理解：牙科医生们总是在你无法做出回答的时候向你提出问题。我的牙医刚刚给我拔掉了一颗牙，叫我休息一会儿。 我想说点什么，但我嘴里塞满了药棉。他知道我收集火柴盒，于是问我收藏的火柴盒是否在增加。接着他又问我的兄弟近来如何，问我是否喜欢伦敦的新工作。 作为对这些问题的回答，我不是点头，就是发出奇怪的声音。与此同时，我的舌头正在忙着寻找刚拔掉的那颗牙的伤口。我突然非常着急起来，但却什么也说不出来。当牙医终于把药棉从我嘴里取出来时，我总算得以告诉他，他拔错了牙。

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

* **whether**：不仅 / 两者都不 / 是否；找齐成对结构的两端；不是看见 not only 就一律倒装。

* **at last**：起初 / 终于 / 马上 / 首次 / 再一次；这些时间词不能随意互换，先看原文把哪两个阶段接起来。

* **was able to**：能够 / 无法；结合时间判断是一般能力还是某次实际做到；unable 带否定。

#### 这一段的读法与用法

0. 标题

Did you want to tell me something? 一般疑问句，动词不定式短语作宾语，这里宾语之中可以额外予以分析，tell sb. sth. 双宾语结构.

#### 1. Dentists ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面是when 引导的时间状语从句，it 是形式主语，真正主语是整个不定式结构 for you to answer，其中 for you 指明 answer 的逻辑主语，不是由介词短语 for you 单独充当主语。

#### 2. My dentist had pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构，动词短语作谓语；后句为主谓宾 + 宾补结构. one of 后面的名词一定要用复数形式，这里的teeth 就是tooth 的复数形式.
