新概念英语第二册 Lesson 32 Shopping made easy 讲义

Lesson 32 Shopping made easy
Part 1: Text
People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings.One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week !

Part 3: Notes on the text
★People are not so honest as they once were.
1.not so + 形容词+ as”引导的是比较状语从句，表示较低的程度，通常译为“不如……那样……
This pen is not so good as that one. (省略了is)
She is not so clever as we think. (省略了she is )
2.once表示“以前”、“曾经”时只能与动词的过去式连用：
He once worked at a large company.
他曾经在一家大公司工作过。
★The temptation to steal is greater than ever before
1.ever，用于表示比较的从句中时意义为“曾经”、“以往任何时候”。
2.在这句话中，省略的成分比较多，与ever before相比的是隐含的时间now，
3.从句中省略成分为 it was（在 ever之前）。大多数含有比较状语从句的句子都可以省略句中的成分。
★especially in large shops.
1. 表示“特别地”，用于修饰形容词或副词，强调程度。如：
It is especially cold today. 今天特别冷。
2. 用于强调目的，意为“特意”、“专门”
We bought it especially for you.
这是我们特意为你买的。
3.表示陈述某一事实之后，作进一步强调
This street is very crowd, especially on Sundays.
这条街很拥挤，尤其是星期天。。
★A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings.
1.on Monday mornings，在星期一上午。
2.morning用复数形式是表示经常性的情况，它前面有修饰词Monday，所以介词要用on。
3.Well-dressed 是合成形容词，
4.由副词+过去分词构成，类似的词还有 well-informed 消息灵通的；
wide-spread 普遍的
★One Monday,there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her.
1.one在此处表示“某一个”，不能用a 代替。
2.A和one的区别要点：
不定冠词a它通常用于表示不确定的人或事物以及第一次提到的人或事物。
表示数量时，one比a的语气要强。
比较：
There is a boy in the classroom. 教室里有个男孩。
There is only one boy in the classroom. 教室里只有一个男孩。
不表示强调时，a和one有时可以互换。
叙述故事时常将one+表示时间的名词用于句首，而不用a。
One afternoon, she set out from the coast in a small boat.
一天下午，她乘坐小船从海岸出发了。
★The woman first bought a few small articles.
1.little和a little 与不可数名词一起使用。little表示否定，有“几乎一点儿也没有”的含义，在口语中我们常用not much：a little 表示肯定，具有some的含义：
2.few和a few 与复数可数名词连用。few表示否定，与little 相似，在口语中我们多用not many;
3.a few与a little 相似，有some 的含义：little的比较级为less，few的比较级为fewer：
★After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible.
1.as quickly as possible，以最快的速度。as…as possible为固定短语，表示“尽可能”：He went home as soon as possible.
他尽快回了家。I have sent you as many books as possible.
我已经把书尽可能多地给你送来了。
2.wrap sth.up for sb.
3.Hand to是表示“交给、递给”意义。
4.Wrap up是“包起来”的意思。
5.As …as possible是固定短语，表示“尽可能…”。
as soon as possible 尽可能快
★Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying.
1.simply表示“仅仅”、“只”， 简单的，容易的有加强语气的作用。
他只是一名工人罢了。He is simply a workman .
这本书把语法讲的既简单又清楚。
This book explains grammar simply and clearly .
2.连词and表示动作的连续，相当于 and then。
3.withoug paying可以当成是整个句子的方式状语
★When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter.
1.find/find out
find sth.　sth. 是看得见，摸得着的I find the pen.
He didn’t find his bike.
他没找到他的自行车。
I don’t find my pen，I’m looking for it everywhere.
我没有找到我的钢笔，我正到处找。

Part 4: Grammar&Difficult points
比较状语从句
1.在比较级的用法中，实际上我们已接触到比较状语从句：
I know him better than you do.我比你了解他。（than后面为比较状语从句）
2.比较状语从句含有或暗含有“与……相比”的意思。除了than…或 more… than…这种结构外，它还包括 as+形容词/副词+as…, not so/as… as…, less… than…等结构。当句子里两个动词相同、时态也一样时，则第2个动词可以省略，比较从句就成了含蓄的从句。如果对比的东西很明显，那么为了避免重复，从句中有些成分、甚至整个从句都可以省略，因此这类句子往往不完整。比较完整的句子读起来要正规些：
