法语早上好：第十四课:Do you speak English课文

第十四课:Do you speak English

课文

I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, ‘Do you speak English?’ As I soon learnt, he was English himself!

翻译

我去年有过一次有趣的经历。离开法国南部的一个小村庄后，我继续前往下一个城市。在路上，一个年轻人向我招手。我把车停下来，他让我坐公交车。他一上车，我就用法语和他打招呼，他也用法语回答我。我根本不会法语，除了几个单词。我们没有在旅途中说话。当他要到达那个镇时，那个年轻人突然张开嘴，渐渐地说：“你会说英语吗？” 很快我就知道他是个英国人！

课文精解

1．After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. 离开法国南部的一个小村庄后，我继续前往下一个城市。

(1)在某个大规模的地方使用介词in表示使用介词。:

Beijing is in the north of China.

位于中国北部的北京。

当副词on跟在动词后面时，可以表示“前进”、“继续”等意义：

He talked on until everybody had gone.

他滔滔不绝地说，大家都走了。

I was reading when my friend called. After he had

gone, I went on to read.

在朋友来看我之后，我正在读书。在他离开之后，我继续读书。

2．I stopped and he asked me for a lift. 我把车停下来，他让我坐公交车。

lift这个名词的含义之一是“(给步行者)搭便车”、“免费搭车”：

Last night, I had to walk home. No one would give me a lift.

昨天晚上我不得不回家。没有人愿意让我坐公交车。

I was lucky today. I got a lift soon after I had left the village.

今日运气不错，离开村子不久就赶上了便车。

3．As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. 一上车，我就用法文问他早上好，他也用法文回答我。

(1)固定短语as表示时间。 soon as通常表示“一…………”，也就是说，两个动词之间的间隔很短：

Tell him the news as soon as you meet him.

当你遇到他时，你会告诉他这个消息。

(2)用某种语言作为交际方式时，用in作为介词，说某种语言时可以不加介词：

speak English/ French 讲英语／法文

That book is written in German.

这本书是用德语写的。

He replied the question in English.

他用英语回答了这个问题。

重难点

过去完成时(The simple past perfect tense)

过去完成时由 had 过去由单词组成，表示过去某个时间或某个动作发生前已经完成的动作或状态，即“早期过去”。使用

在过去完成时态的句子中，常用的连词有 when, after, as soon as, until, by that time等：

When I woke up in the morning, she had already had

her breakfast.

当我早晨醒来时，她已经吃过早餐了。

在艾利森队长告别我们所有人之后，他就出发了。

Did you really ring the police?

你们真的打电话给警察了吗？

It was a mistake. I realized it as soon as I had rung them.

我犯了一个错误。我一打完电话就意识到了。

I didn’t know that she was a famous actress until you had told me.

直到你告诉我，我才知道她是个著名的演员。

经常使用already等现在完成时连用的副词， just, never, never...before在完成过程中也经常使用，以强调事件发生的顺序：

The boys loved the zoo. They had never seen wild animals before.

男孩喜欢动物园，以前从未见过猛兽。

有些句子在用过去完成的时候没有明确的时间状语，但是通过前后文可以看出动作的顺序。
