I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said, 'Just one more thing, Mr. Eames. Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet.' I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly. Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly. 'Mr. Eames,' he said, in a mournful voice, 'you have just killed that child!' 中文理解：当时我正在第三次参加驾驶执照考试。按照要求在车辆拥挤的路上驾驶，我圆满地完成了。在接到把车开出城的指令后，我开始有了信心。 我以为自己已经通过了考试，几乎开始享受起这次考试来。主考官对我的驾驶想必是满意的，因为他微笑着说：“埃姆斯先生，只剩1项了。让我们假设一个小孩子突然在你前面穿过马路。 我一敲车窗，你必须在5英尺之内停车。”我继续往前开着，过了一会儿，主考官大声地敲了起来。虽然声音听得很清楚，但我过了好一会儿才作出反应。我突然用力踩紧刹车踏板，结果我俩的身体都向前冲去。主考官伤心地看着我。“埃姆斯先生，”他以悲伤的语气说，“你刚刚把那个小孩压死了！” * **As soon as**：一……就……；把两个动作的先后关系说清；谈未来时，时间从句通常用一般现在时。 * **a long time**：形容词与名词一起理解；先结合这句确定是在评价位置、距离还是经历，不把 good 一律换成中文“好”。 * **looked at**：期待 / 照顾 / 寻找 / 看；介词一变意思就变；look forward to 的 to 后接名词或 -ing。 #### 1. I was being tested… 简单句，主谓结构，被动语态. \[关键句型] 本课复习被动语态，考驾照，路考，是被测试，这里是过去进行时的被动语态，构成为 was/were being + 过去分词；was being tested 表示“当时正在接受测试”。被动的关键是 be + tested，being 同时体现进行结构，并不能单独当成一切被动语态的标识。 #### 2. I had been asked to drive and had done so. 并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构，被动语态；后句为省略了主语的主谓宾结构，so 在这里作宾语，完成了这些，而不是作状语. \[关键句型] 被动语态be asked，这里是过去完成时，所以是had been asked. #### 3. After…, I began to acquire. 简单句，主谓宾结构，动词不定式作宾语. 本句的句首为after 介词短语作状语，只不过正好在这个状语之中，包含了一个被动语态的结构，我们予以细分. #### 4. Sure that I had passed, I was beginning to enjoy… 主句 I was almost beginning to enjoy my test 使用过去进行时。句首 Sure that I had passed 是补充主语 I 心理状态的形容词短语，含有原因意味，可理解为“因为我确信自己已通过”。其中 that I had passed 是形容词 sure 的内容补语从句，并非 sure 这个动词的宾语；passed 在从句中为不及物用法，表示“通过考试”。若展开成 Because I was sure that…，可以与主句用逗号连接；若展开成独立陈述 I was sure that…，则要另加 so、使用分号或另起一句，不能只用逗号硬接。 #### 5. The examiner must have been pleased, for he smiled and said… 并列句，for 为并列连词，前句为主谓结构，must have been done，表很有把握的推测；后句为主谓结构. #### 6. Let us suppose that a child crosses the road… 复合句，主句为祈使句，谓宾 + 宾补，后面是that 引导的宾语从句，在语法上作动词suppose 的宾语，该从句为主谓宾结构. #### 7. As soon as I tap, you must stop… 复合句，主句主谓结构，前面为时间状语从句，也是主谓结构. #### 8. I continued driving and…, the examiner tapped… 并列句，这里是and 连接前后两句，不是逗号，前句为主谓宾结构；你可以把后句看成and 的后面为一个时间状语，然后是主干的主谓结构. #### 9. Though the sound could be heard, it took me a long time to react. 复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，it 为形式主语，动词不定式为真正主语，而though 为让步状语从句，主谓结构，用了被动语态，被听见. #### 10. I pressed the brake pedal and we were thrown. 并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构，后句为主谓结构. #### 11. The examiner looked at me. 简单句，主谓宾结构. #### 12. you have killed that child! 简单句，主谓宾结构，现在完成时. ## 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165—166页，2022年3月第1版。*
