lesson 35 Stop thief
Part 1: Text
Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and he has not regretted it. He is finding his new work far more exciting. When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag full of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

Part 3: Notes on the text
★He is finding his new work far more exciting
find 可以用一般现在时态, 可以用进行时态
He is finding his trip very exciting.
far more exciting 更有趣(在形容词和副词的比较级与最高级前面,可以用far(相当much)来表示强调,作程度副词,译为“很,大大的”)
It’s far/much colder today than it was yesterday.
This is (by) far the most expensive bicycle in the shop.
★When he was driving along Catford Streetrecently, he sawtwo thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car.
see和一些感知动词(如smell, feel, hear, watch, notice等)可以用在动词+名词/代词宾语+不带to的不定式结构(省略to,即do)中,如果全过程用do,过程中的一瞬间用doing~
see sb. do sth. 看见某人做某事(强调全过程)
see sb. doing sth. 看见某人正在做某事
★Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves.
act:行动,充当,扮演
Think before you act.
He acted his part very well.
The girl acted as our tour guide.
at: 朝着,对着
Don’t shout at me.
The boy threw a stone at the bird.
★The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag.
the one做代词,指代:the thief
with 一旦出现在名词或代词后就做定语, 出现在动词之后做状语
He came in with a book. 作状语
The boy with a book came in.
get a fright 吓了一跳 作定语
so+形容词(副词)+that…/such+(修饰词或形容词)+名词+that…如此……以致……一旦有名词, 就认为形容词修饰的是名词, 前面的词也修饰的是名词
It’s such a wonderful experience that I’ll never forget it.=It’s so wonderful an experience that I’ll never forget.
★As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it.
As 在这里做连词:当…时候
(conj.因为,随着,虽然,依照,当…时候;
prep.如同,当做,以…身份;
adv.同样地,和…一样
Love me as I do(love) you.
像我爱你那样的爱我。

get away:逃脱 get away with:逃脱惩罚
After you did such a bad thing, do you think you can get away with that
★The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize
……and easy to recognize = and the car was easy to recognize (用主动表被动含义)
如果一个不定式的前面是一个形容词, 如果主句的结局是“系表结构+to”,不定式当中常用主动表被动,在不定式的表达方式当中, 动词的宾语如果刚好是这句话的主语, 这个宾语一定不能出现
The apple is sweet enough to eat.
The apple is too sour to eat. (sour adj. 酸的)
The question is easy enough to answer.
The boy is enough clever to answer the question.
这个小孩足够聪明以至于能回答这个问题。(the question不是主语故一定要出现)
文中“…easy to recognize(car)”因car 是主语, 所以不能出现在不定式当中, 也许有可能用主动表达被动含义, 及物动词后面一般加宾语(这个宾语就是这句话的主语就不加), 又如:The clothes are too comfortable to wear.
Special difficulties
▲So and Such
such 和so都可以用于表示程度,但so只能副词和连词,such则是形容词,因此so通常位于形容词、副词之前,而such 只能位于名词之前:
I’ve never read so interesting a book.
I’ve never read such an interesting book.
引导结果状语从句时,它们的结构分别是:
so +形容词(副词) +that…/
such +(a, an修饰词或形容词)+名词+that…如此……以至于……
一旦有名词, 就认为形容词修饰的是名词, 前面的词也修饰的是名词,如果名词是可数名词单数才要加a 和an
It was so cold that no one went out.
such 除了表示“这样的,如此的”等意思外,还可以表示“像这一类的”,so不能表示这种意思。
He often talks about such things.
You should not speak to such people.
如果形容词是表示数量的(many, much, little, few), 一律用so
There is so little time left that we must hurry.
There is such a little(小) bird that I can't see it.
(little不会和可数名词连用,如连用不会译成“数量少”,而应译为“小”)
He is so lazy a boy./ He is such a lazy boy.

Part 4: Grammar&Difficult points
简单句基本句型:主语+谓语+宾语+宾补

as

when从句的谓语动词可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生;while和as从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生。
从句动作和主句动作同时发生,且从句动作为延续性动词时,when,while,as都可使用
当主句、从句动作同时进行,从句动作的时间概念淡化,而主要表示主句动作发生的背景或条件时,只能用 as。
