Grammar focus 语法
1. a.Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury. b. And now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. 詹姆斯·斯科特先生在锡尔伯里有一个汽车修理部，现在他刚在平赫斯特买了另一个汽车修理部。
a句中的has是实义动词，表示有。而b句中的has是助动词，只用于构成现在完成时这种时态的需要，没有实际的意思
garage既可以表示汽车修理部，还可以表示车库。如：
I parked my car in the underground garage.
我把车停在了地下车库里。
Silbury和Pinhurst都是英国地名。
2. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. 平赫斯特离锡尔伯里只有5英里，但詹姆斯·斯科特先生未能为他新的汽车修理部搞到一部电话机，所以他买了12只鸽子。
这句话由3个部分组成，but引导的句子与前面的句子为并列关系，用了一般现在时描述现阶段的状态；so引导的部分强调现在的结果，用了现在完成时。
3. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. 昨天，一只鸽子把第一封信从平赫斯特带到锡尔伯里。
本句强调昨天发生了一件事，所以用一般过去时。
from…to…表示从哪里到哪里。如：
I know she has transferred all her love from me to him.
我知道她已把所有的爱从我身上转移到了他身上。
I've read the book from beginning to end.
我把这本书从头至尾都看了。
4. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. 这只鸟只用了3分钟就完成了全程。
cover在这句话中的意思是行走，完成。cover还可以表示掩盖、覆盖。如：
She covered her face with her hands.
她双手掩面。
Snow covered the ground.
大雪覆盖了大地。
cover作名词时表示封面。如：
The author's name is on the cover of the book.
在书的封面上有作者的名字。
in+一段时间 表示用多长时间或者在多长时间之内完成了某事。如：
The project will be finished in a month.
这个项目将在一个月内完成。
5. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. 到目前为止，斯科特先生从一个汽车修理部向另一个汽车修理部发送了大量索取备件的信件和其他紧急函件。
up to now是时间状语；后面这个比较长的句子中，主语是Mr. Scott，谓语是has sent，requests和messages作并列宾语；a great many作定语修饰requests，for spare parts作后置定语也修饰requests，other urgent作定语修饰messages; 最后的from one garage to the other作地点状语。
6. In this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service. 就这样，他开始了自己的私人“电话”业务。
in this way表示按照这种方式，如：
If you do it in this way, you will never solve the problem.
如果你这样做的话，你永远不可能解决这个问题。
与way相关的词组还有：by the way顺便地，on the way在途中。如：
By the way, are you married
顺便问一下，你结婚了吗？
I met your brother on the way.
我在路上碰到你弟弟了。
