Lesson 14Do you speak English
Part 1: Text
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I
had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English ' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!

Part 3: key notes
After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.
after和before引导时间状语从句时,如果用过去完成时,则一定是过去的过去发生的事件用过去完成时。但是一般情况下有before和after等明确的表明事件发生的先后顺序,所以可以不用过去完成时。
表达方位的表达方式一共有3 个介词:
in(在……里面), on(接壤),to(没有相接的, 是相离的)
A is to the east of B A 与 B 不相接
A is on the east of B A 与 B 接壤
A is in the east of B A 在 B 的里面
drive on 继续开往
My heart will go on 《我心永恒》
drive to 开车去某地
副词 on 在动词后可以表示 向前,继续,持续地等意义:
Eg: He talked on and on until everybody had gone. 他滔滔不绝地讲到大家都走了。
Eg: I was reading when my friend called. After he had gone, I went on to read.
我朋友来看我时我正在看书。他走了以后我便继续看书。
On the way, a young man waved to me.
on the way 在路上,在途中
on one's way to someplace 在某人去某地的途中
I met an old friend on my way to school.
wave to sb. 冲某人挥手
As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.
as soon as 一……就……,后加时间状语从句, 强调两个动作几乎是连在一起的,但仍然有先后顺序。
Eg: As soon as I had entered the room, I took off my coat at once.
强调:只要是状语从句,不管是时间状语从句还是原因状语从句还是条件状语从句,从句中不能有将来时, 一律用一般现在时表将来
Eg: As soon as you arrive, I'll be there waiting for you.
You will find this movie fantastic if you see it.
表示用某种语言作为交际手段时介词用 in,表示讲某种语言时不加介词。
Eg: I speak English. I say a word in Chinese.
reply要想加宾语要加 to (+要回答的对象),而 in the same language 在句中作状语, 不是 reply所应回答的问题(宾语), 故用 in
Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all.
apart from…除……以外
not… at all 否定的强调
Eg: I don't like it at all.
英语中有时会用双重否定表示否定的强调:
Eg: I didn't do nothing at all! 我什么也没做!!!
I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English "
nearly 几乎,快要
when在这里译为“就在此时”
Eg: I had nearly reached home when I found my mother standing there.
Do you speak English
你说英语吗 你是说英语国家的人吗
注意和Can you speak English 区分。
As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'
I learn 我得知(强调过程);I know 我知道(我本来就知道)
As从句(As my mother said/As I heard/ As I learnt)正如……
Eg: As we know, the New Concept English is very good.
Eg: As he said, English is easy to learn.
Part 4: Grammar
After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.
过去完成时 “Had + done”
过去的过去或两个动作都在过去,一个动作在前,一个在后,发生在前的动作为过去完成时。
过去完成时一定要以一个过去时态做铺垫,这个动作一定要发生在had done之后。常用:
when, after, before, not …until , By the time 等词连接两个句子。
The children ran away. They broke the window.
The children ran away after they had broken the window.
