§ Lesson 4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs 阿尔弗雷德。布洛格斯的双重生活
听录音,然后回答以下问题。
Why did Alf want awhite-collar job?
These days, peoplewho do manual work often receive far more money than people who work inoffices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as ‘white-collarworkers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go towork. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing tosacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. Thiscan give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs whoworked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he gotmarried, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. Hesimply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left homedressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the nexteight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower andchanged back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellowdustmen kept his secret. AlF's wife has never discovered that she married adustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon beworking in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, buthe feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on,he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.
【课文讲解】
people who domanual work => blue-collar workers
people who work inoffices / do mental work => white-collar workers
far more money
far--副词,用来强调语气==much
refer to … as
==regard … as 把…看作为
I always refer to
him as bookworm (书呆子).
for the simple
reason => for 引导的原因状语从句
for the reason
that 比because正式,因此多用于正式文体
human nature 人性化
such…that…
that 引导同位语从句,进一步补充说明such的基本内涵
His kindness wassuch that we will never forget him.
=> Such was hiskindness…
Such is humannature that we want to get a lot of things free.
Such用在句首,要倒装
Such is humannature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay forthe privilege of becoming white-collar workers.
介词for表示一种目的
be willing to dosth. == be ready to do sth. 心甘情愿做…
give rise to ,
lead to, cause:引起,惹起=result in
Such conduct mightgive rise to misunderstandings.
The bad conditionshave given rise to a lot of crimes.
in the case of: 至于,就……而言
Eg: Stealing is noshame in the case of him.
in case of: (连) 万一,以防
Eg: You shouldensure your house in case of fire.
Who引导定语从句
Too embarrassed to
say:太尴尬而没有说明
be ashamed of
get married
marry v. 如果强调动作:He married the girl…
如果表示状态:getmarried, be married
如果表明和某人已经结婚多长时间了:be married to sb.
The old man hasbeen married to his wife 50 years.
Too…to…, 太…而不能
simply adv. 用来修饰限定动词told
dressed in a smart
black suit-----形容词短语表示一种状态
Eg: He got to workdressed in a beautiful coat.
He left homewearing a smart black suit.
Changed into: 换上
Before returninghome==Before he returned home
在before 引导的时间状语从句中,return的逻辑主语和主句的主语he是保持一致的,所以这个时间状语是由介词before和动名词搭配而成,相当于before引导的时间状语从句。
如果运用动名词形式,动名词的逻辑主语必须是主句的主语。
After gettinghome, he had a good rest.
Before havingdinner, he finished all his homework.
She never will =she will never discover the secret
在省略句式中,never要放在助动词之前。
‘Will you go to see her?’
‘ I will never go to see her.’ / ‘No, I neverwill.’
half as much as (he used to):是… 的一半
half (a quarter,
twice, three times ) as …as…表示倍数
I won’t marry aman who is twice as old as me.
We got three timesas many people as we exected.
This room is aboutthree times as large as that one.
…as (形容词或副词原形)as… 是…几倍
比…多几倍:…times (形容词或副词比较级)
This road is fourtimes longer than that one. => This road is five times as long as that one.
is well worth theloss of money
What he obtained is well worth the loss oftime
Well 副词用来加强语气,修饰形容词worth
【Special difficulties】难点
A.英语中的许多动词不能以人作为宾语,只能代某物或某事。如果需要说明是某人就要用介词to.
Eg: He explainedthe difficulty to me
He told a story tome.=> He told me a story.
两类词汇:tell可以和双宾语搭配(指物的直接宾语,指人的间接宾语)
explain, say只能带一个(直接)宾语,在间接宾语前要介词to
She speaks Englishto her husband and Swedish to her children.
He admitted hisguilt to the police.
Did you suggestthis idea to him?
当直接宾语比较长或者是个从句时,通常放在间接宾语之后,但say除外
I explained to himthe impossibility of granting his request.
He confessed to methat he had fallen asleep during the meeting.
B. worth adj.后面只能跟名词或动名词
His suggestion isworth considering.

§Lesson 5 The facts 确切数字
Q: What was theconsequence of the editor’s insistence on facts and statistics?
Editors ofnewspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers withunimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed bya well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a newAfrican republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentenceand then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead tothe high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at once sentthe journalist a telegram instructing him to find out the exact number of stepsand the height of the wall.
The journalistimmediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time tosend them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine wouldsoon go to press. He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply.He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soonhe would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editorreluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A weeklater, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only hadthe poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, hehad at last been allowed to send a fax in which he informed the editor that hehad been arrested while counting the 1,084 steps leading to the fifteen-footwall which surrounded the president's palace.

§Lesson 6 Smash-and grab 砸橱窗抢劫
How did Mr. Taylortry to stop the thieves?
The expensiveshops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of themorning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shopwas admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busilysince 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings hadbeen beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at thedisplay for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence wassuddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring,roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayedat the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped outand smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, MrTaylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of thewindow. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves wasstruck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds tonotice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambledback into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it wasleaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, butit was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands ofpounds
worth of diamonds.
