My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. A flight attendant would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to travelling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, a flight attendant told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again. 中文理解：我在幼年的时候，曾多次乘飞机旅行。 我的父母曾经住在南美洲，所以假期里我常从欧洲乘飞机到他们那里。我总是由一位空中乘务员照管，从未遇到过不愉快的经历。 我习惯了乘飞机旅行，只是有一次把我吓坏了。起飞之后，我们在城市上空低低地飞行，然后慢慢爬高。 这时飞机突然调转头来，飞回了机场。在我们等待降落时，一位空中乘务员告诉我们要保持镇静，待飞机一着陆，就马上不声不响地离开飞机。飞机上的人都很担心，我们都急于想知道究竟出了什么事。后来我们才得知，飞机上坐了一位非常重要的人物。有人报警说飞机上安放了一枚炸弹。我们降落之后，彻底检查了一遍飞机。好在什么也没有找到。5个小时后，我们又起飞了。 * **used to**：过去常常 / 习惯于；used to do 说过去习惯；be used to 后说已习惯的事，别混用。 * **turned round**：转过身；回头；先说明动作，需要时再用 to 看向谁或做什么。 * **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。 * **find 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。 * **were 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。 #### 1. I used to travel when I was a boy. 复合句，主句主谓结构，后面有一个时间状语从句，为主系表结构. #### 2. My parents used to live and I used to fly… 并列句，and 连接前后两句，都是主谓结构. 本文要区分两种结构：used to + 动词原形表示“过去常常”，be used to + 名词或动名词表示“习惯于”。这里 used to 通常读作 /ˈjuːst tə/，不是动词 use 的 /juːz/；连读细节可结合原音模仿。 #### 3. An attendant would take charge of me and I had an experience. 并列句，and 连接两句，均为主谓宾结构. 一般来说take charge of 指掌管，负责，这里是自己被空姐暂时监护. #### 4. I am used to travelling and have I felt frightened. 并列句，and 连接两句，前句 I am used to travelling 中 used 表示“习惯的”，是 be used to doing 结构；后句因 only on one occasion 置于分句句首，使用部分倒装，将助动词 have 放到主语 I 前，正常语序是 I have only on one occasion ever felt frightened。 #### 5. we were flying and gaining height, when the plane turned round and flew back… 并列复合句，主句为and 连接的并列句，前一动作 were flying 没有直接宾语，后一动作 gaining height 中 height 是宾语，不能都归为主谓结构；后面是 when 引导的时间状语从句，也是一个并列句. #### 6. While we were waiting to land, an attendant told us to… as soon as it had touched down. 复合句，主句为主谓宾 + 宾补结构，这里宾语补足语有两个. 句首是一个while 引导的时间状语从句，为主谓宾结构，后面有一个as soon as 引导的时间状语从句，主谓结构. #### 7. Everybody was worried and we were curious… 并列句，均为主系表结构，请注意，最后的 to find out what had happened 补充 curious 的具体内容，表示“急于弄清出了什么事”，不宜一律看作主句行为的目的状语，只不过该状语之中有一个what 引导的从句作find out 的宾语，我们予以额外标记. #### 8. we learnt that… 复合句，主句主谓 + that 引导的宾语从句结构，句中的very important person 就是我们常说的VIP. #### 9. The police had been told that… 复合句，主句主谓 + that 引导的宾语从句结构，且为被动语态，被告知，但是一般而言，报警是主动的行为，所以翻译时可以转换为主动语态，有人报警即可. plant 此处作动词，to place sth. or yourself firmly in a particular place or position 立稳；竖立；安放. 这类小词一定一定要查字典，把名词词性的所有义项和动词词性的所有义项都彻底搞懂. #### 10. After we had landed, the plane was searched… 复合句，主句主谓结构，前面是一个after 引导的时间状语从句，为主谓结构. #### 11. nothing was found and we were able to take off… 并列句，and 连接的前后两句都是主谓结构. ## 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194—195页，2022年3月第1版。*
