課文詳注 Further notes on the text

1．I had just lost ￡50 and I felt very upset. 我剛剛丟了50英鎊，感到非常煩惱。

（1）lose指“遺失”、“丟失”時，賓語一般為錢物：

Don't lose your ticket/key.

別把你的票／鑰匙丟了。

（2）feel +形容詞一般指心情“覺得……”、“感覺到……”：

Do you feel hungry now?

你覺得餓嗎？

I feel happy/excited.

我覺得開心／激動。

feel upset 表示“心煩意亂、“很苦惱”。

2．The manager was sympathetic, but be could do nothing. 經理深表同情，但卻無能為力。

could do nothing可以補全為 could do nothing about it，即關于此事他什么忙也幫不上。do為完全動詞，表示“做”、“干”。do類似的用法還有：

Is there anything I can do for you?

我能給您做點什么嗎？

3．Everyone's losing money these days. 現在大家都在丟錢。

（1）days可以指“時期”、“時代”，如 in his boyhood days（在他的童年時代）。these days指“現今”。

（2）現在進行時在這里表示動作的頻繁，仿佛隨時都有人丟錢似的。

4．‘Well,’I said to the manager,‘there is still some honesty in this world!’“是啊，”我對那位經理說，“這世界上還是有老實可言的！”

well作為感嘆詞可以表達多種感情，如驚奇、讓步等，在這里表示松了一口氣（因為錢沒丟）。

復習第2～23課部分語法

What a beautiful garden (it is)!

多美的花園！

He lent me his dictionary.

他把字典借給了我。（me為間接賓語，his dictionary為直接賓語）

與動詞連用的小品詞假如能與動詞分開使用，即它的位置可變動，那么這個小品詞一般為副詞；假如位置不可變動，則一般為介詞。

I'm looking for my brother.

我在找我的兄弟。（for為介詞）
