Lesson 2 Thirteen equals one 十三等于一
Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.
One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer. 'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.
' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'
'You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.'
'That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it.'
'We'll get used to that, Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is not as good as one, but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'
Attention: The points here are not covered by the mp3. It is better for you to listen to the mp3 first and try to take notes on your own.
1, Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired.
现在进行时和always 等频度副词的搭配--表示说话人带有的情感色彩
Tom is always doing homework.
He is always making noises.
one or another 表示某种、这样或那样
get enough money 筹集足够的资金来做某事
have sth. done 找某人来做某事
e.g. have the plane repaired 修飞机
have hair cut 剪头发
tip: 在翻译中，不一定要把"找人"这两个字翻译出来，但是读者可以据常理推断这件事不是句中的主语做出的。
让我们来下下面这两句话：
His wallet was stolen.
He had his wallet stolen.
某人所遭受到的意外某种情况-----主语必须是发出动作的人
2, The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.
used to:过去常常做，而现在不再发生的事情了
e.g. He used to smoke every day.
3, One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start.
however 用于口语，主要用于句首；
用于作文中时，最好用在句中、句尾，要用逗号分隔开来
e.g. I know his story, however, I wouldn't like to tell you.
I know his story, I, however, wouldn't like to tell you.
however 可用nevertheless, nonetheless 替换
start: 惊跳、惊奇
Eg: The voice made him start. 那声音吓了他一跳。
What a start you give me.你真吓了我一跳
4, The bell struck thirteen times before it stopped.
before ...才
e.g. Nearly a week past before he could explain what had happen to him. 文中的例句，我们也可以这么表达：
The bell did not stop until it struck thirteen times.
It was not until the thirteenth stroke that the bell stopped.
tip: 体会用不同的搭配表达同种意思, not... until...\It was not until...that... 知道...才...
5, Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock.
Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on.
分词做状语时，一定要注意它和逻辑主语要呼应一致。
第一个中，动作look和主语he之间是主动关系，因而用了现在分词。
第二个句子中，动作arm和主语the vicar之间是被动关系，所以用了过去分词。我们可以将状语还原成句子：The vicar was armed with a torch then he went up into the clock tower.
6, In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.
In the torchlight 在电筒光下
非正式用语中whom可以省略掉
recognize sb as 认出某人是
搭配相近的词组有：
regard sb as 把某人认作
think of sb as 把某人看作
treat sb as(把某人对待为)
have on sb as（把某人尊敬为）
7, Whatever are you doing up here Bill ？
whatever用于疑问句中，加强what的语气，作"究竟什么"解释。
8, I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now.
night after night 一夜连着一夜，这里也可用every night代替，表示没有一夜例外。
after在这里表示：一个接着一个
这种 A after A 的词组还有：
day after day / year after year / week after week / bus after bus
9, You certainly did give me a surprise!
肯定句中常用助动词do, did, does加强语气和情感色彩，一定要位于动词原形之前。
文中在did之前，还用了副词certainly，意思是"的确"，进一步加强了语气。
e.g. You do look beautiful today. 你今天看起来真漂亮。
10, You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well.
as well用在句尾相当于too, 主要用在肯定句中，但比too所表达的语意更优秀。
11, Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.
still用于句首，用逗号分隔开来，表达一个转折的关系。意思是尽管如此，依旧，仍然 这里still = Just the same，本句也可这样表达：All the same, I am glad the bell is working again.
12, We'll get used to that, Bill.
get used to , be used to do, be accustomed to, get accustomed to 都表示习惯于 get强调渐进的过程，be强调习惯了的状态
e.g. We are used to the cold weather here.
You will get used to the cold weather here.你很快会适应这寒冷的天气的。
这里的to都是介词，后面接名词或动名词
e.g. You will get used to jogging day after day. It is really a good habit. 你会习惯每天跑步的。这真是一个好习惯。
tip: 在表示过去常常做某事的 use to 句型中，后面接动词的原型，请大家注意区别。
13，Thirteen is not as good as one, but it's better than nothing. 13下是不如1下好，但是比一下也不敲强。
tip: 这是个很好的安慰人的句子。作者用了...not as good as, but it is better than... 来表达情况并不是很糟。

篇二：新概念英语第三册课文及详解第1课
Lesson 1 A puma at large
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the
descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking
blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The
experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the
country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.
Pay attention: The points below are not covered by the mp3. It is better for you to listen to the mp3 first and try to take notes by yourselves.
1，a puma at large
at large
1：逃遁的，没有被控制的。
2：详细的(in detail)
3：总体来讲（as a whole）
2，Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.
tip: 在英文的表达方式中，首先呈现给读者的是结果。写议的时候要注意把握观点。
体会课文第一二句话，乃至第一段在全文中的作用。
cat-like 像猫的，偷偷摸摸的
life-like 栩栩如生的
3，When report came into London zoo... 当伦敦动物园接到......
同种结构的句型：(An idea) come to sb.某人突然想到了......
4， They were not taken seriously.
take sth. seriously: deal with sth. seriously 认真（严肃）对待某事
take sth. lightly 草率对待某事
注意：例句的they指的是reports, 意思是：The experts did not take the reports seriously.
5, The descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
claim to have done sth 声称曾经做过某事
6， Experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.
confirm: be sure, be certain
7，The search proved difficult.
这个语境中：search=hunt
8， Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.
leave behind: 把某物留在后面
9， A businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.
on + 名词：强调动作正在进行
on the rise:在上升
on the increase: 在增加
on the watch: 在观看
on the match:在比赛中
on the fishing trip:在钓鱼的途中
on holiday: 在度假
10， The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma. fully: completely, entirely
11，This one must have been in the possession of a private collector.
in the possession of sb==in sb's possession 归某人所有
in possession of sth. 拥有某物
take possession of 拥有
tip: 请大家体会下同种意思的不同表达，让我们的语言丰富起来！
eg: The beautiful car is in my possession / in the possession of me.
I am in possession of the beautiful car.
The person in possession of the big house is excited.
12， It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.
It is disturbing to think that 一想到.........就心里不安 1. simple sentence, compound sentence and complex sentence(check NCE2 L73)
本文主要有复杂句组成，复杂句是由简单句构成的，分析复杂句的意思：
1）先看句子由几个部分组成；
2）通过link word来判断主从句关系；
e.g. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
分句1：The evident began to accumulate.
as 表示伴随主句同时发生的状态
主句：Experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate.
tip: 在阅读中，先看主句有助于全文理解和提高阅读效率。
分句2：The descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
for 表示原因，翻译做：因为
这个分句还可以再细分：
句子的主干部分是：The descriptions were similar
given引导的部分是过去分词作定语，修饰description
而这一成分中，who引导的定语从句，用来修饰people
2.被动语态常用于表达事实的客观性
tip: 英文的表达方式重点在于突出客观事实，故常用被动语态；
而中文则善于运用动作的执行者,常用主动式 被动语态的特殊结构：被动语态＋现在分词
e.g. puma fur was found clinging to bushes 现在分词clinging起补充说明主语的作用
3，定语从句和同位语从句
一般来讲, 定语从句和同位语从句紧随在被修饰名词后面，但为了保持句子平衡，也可把谓语动词放到从句之前。让我们来看两个文中的例子：
(1)Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.
(2)Reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London.
现在让我们来回顾下两种从句的区别：
(1) 定语从句只是对于被修饰词的补充说明、修饰。
定语从句的引导词：
指人：主语 who; 宾语 who/whom; 定语 whose
表达事物：that(也可指人)/ which
时间状语：when; 地点状语：where; 原因状语：
why
(2) 同位语从句则是讲述被修饰名词的内容
同位语从句的引导词：
名词做主语、宾语时，关系词用that 而不是which

Lesson 7 Mutilated ladies*残钞鉴别组
Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever put your trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket? When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white? People who live in Britain needn't despair when they make mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)! Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog. Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!
A recent case concerns Jane Butlin whose fiancé, John, runs a successful furniture business. John had a very good day and put his wallet containing ￡3,000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping. Then he and Jane went
horse-riding. When they got home, Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and without realizing it, cooked her fiancé's wallet as well. Imagine their dismay when they found a beautifully-cooked wallet and notes turned to ash! John went to see his bank manager who sent the remains of wallet and the money to the special department of the Bank of England in Newcastle: the Mutilated Ladies! They examined the remains and John got all his money back. ‘So long as there's something to identify, we will give people their money back,' said a spokeswoman for the Bank. ‘Last year, we paid ￡1.5m on 21,000 claims.'
* Damaged bank notes. The Queen's head appears on English bank notes, and ‘lady' refers to this.

1, Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever put your trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket?

2, When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white? rescue 救援，援救
e.g. Hundreds of people went to rescue the survivors of the plane crash. 这里rescue是一个大词，大词小用可以加强语气
whiter than white 这里表示damaged, mutilated的意思，中文是：损坏，残缺不全 3，People who live in Britain needn't despair when they make mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)!
needn't despair=needn't feel despaired
4，Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog.

feedsth. to 把某物喂给...
feed 的过去式和过去分词都是：fed

it seems 似乎
本句把dogs提前，加强了语气，本句可还原成: It seems that dogs love to chew up money!

go doing形式表示做某事
e.g. go horse-riding骑马；
go fishing钓鱼；

dismay: 沮丧
beautifully-cooked wallet: 这里用了一种讽刺的口吻，这是一种幽默的手法

so long as=as long as=on condition that 表假设，只要...
paid ￡1.5m on 21,000 claims， on 强调对21000起索赔要求
