4. 课文讲解

1、A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and he was not regretted it.
a short while ago＝a short time ago 不久以前
while作名词表示“一会儿，(一段)时间”时常与a连用，有时也与the，this等连用：
however可以放句首, 可以放句中；如果一个词两边有逗号，证明这个词是插入语
2、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，译为“很，大大的”)
It’s far/much colder today than it was yesterday.
3、When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two 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)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
4、The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag.
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. (作定语)
get a fright 吓了一跳
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
drop vt. 由于抓什么没抓住不小心掉下drop sth.)
fall vi. 从上往下落 (sth. fall)
drop the money / the money fall
5、As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it.
as = when 当…时候get away ＝ run away 逃跑
by car /in the car 开车
drive into… 撞上……
6、While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police.
stopped his car，the car stopped(与当时说话时的视觉概念有关，一个是人为停，一个是自己停下来)
7、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.
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 ware.

5. Special Difficulties

So and Such
such和so都可以用于表示程度，但so只能作副词和连词，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：
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, 反过来如果是可数名词单数, 前面一定要加a或an.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.
如果形容词是表示数量的(many, much, little, few), 一律用soThere 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”)如果有几个以上的形容词共同修饰一个名词的时候, 冠词放在第一位, 这句话中冠词不放在第一位, 说明 “a” 与 “boy” 有关系, “lazy” 从意思上与 “boy” 有关系, 但从强调点上与 “boy” 没关系, 它的强调点在 “lazy” 上
