Life Is Full of the Unexpected
In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a co ee first. I went to my favorite co ee place even though it was two blocks east from my o ce. As I was waiting in line with other o ce workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could
join the others outside to see what was going
on, the first plane had already hit my o ce building. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.
Almost 10 years later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized
that my alarm never went o . I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken o . “This
is the first holiday I’ve taken in a year, and now I ’ve missed my plane. What bad luck!” I thought to myself. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day. The next morning, I heard about the earthquake in New Zealand the day
before. My bad luck
Had unexpectedly
turned into a good
thing.

Language points
Life is full of the unexpected. 生活充满了意外。
the unexpected 为名词化的形容词，意为
“出乎意料的事”。 英语中，有些形容词与定冠词the连用，表示一类人或事物，在句子中起名词的作用。
例：the homeless (无家可归者)
the disabled(残疾人)
the unwanted( 无人认领物品)
当名词化的形容词用作主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式取决于它们所表示的概念的单复数情况。 多数情况下，表示一类人或物品时，谓语动词用复数；少数情况下，当指抽象概念或不可数的物品及事件时，谓语动词用单数。
例：The sick are always taken good care of in that hospital. 在那家医院里病人们总是受到很好的照顾。(the sick=the sick people)
(2) 这种结构中的形容词虽已名词化，但其语言
行为仍具有极强的形容词特征，受到副词修饰
或具有比较的特征。
例：The severely disabled need full-time care.重
度残疾人需要全天候拌护。
He is spoiled, and always asks for the most
expensive.
他被惯坏了，总是嚷着要最贵的东西。
(3) 名词化的形容词前面一般用定冠词the. 但
若由and链接(两形容词往往为反义词），
成对的使用时，又通常被省略。
例： He is popular with both young and old.
老老少少都喜欢他。
It is said that the man was widely
respected by both rich and poor.
据说那个人颇收人尊敬，无论是穷人还
是富人。
2. By the time I got up, my brother ______
already ______ in the shower. 我起床时，我弟弟已经进入浴室了。
“by the time”表示“当/到……时”，引导时间状语从句。如果从句中用了一般过去时，主语中常用过去完成时；如果主句中用了将来时，从句中常用一般现在时表将来。
例：By the time I got up, he had already left.
当我起床时，他已经离开了。
He will be a teacher by the time he is
twenty.
到他二十岁时，他会成为一名教师。
