【Text】
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'
參考譯文
我正在一家飯館吃飯, 托尼.斯蒂爾走了進來. 托尼曾在一家律師事務所工作, 而現在正在一家銀行上班. 他的薪水很高, 但他卻總是向朋友借錢, 並且從來不還. 托尼看見了我, 就走過來和我坐到一張桌子前. 他從未向我借過錢. 當他吃飯時, 我提出向他借20英鎊. 令我驚奇的是, 他立刻把錢給了我. “我還從未向你借過錢, “托尼說道, “所以現在你可以替我付飯錢了!”
【課文講解】
1、One good turn deserves another 禮尚往來, 善有善報
one bad turn deserves another 惡有惡報
2、Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank.
work for… 強調工作
work in… 強調in後麵的地點
working at a bank
(some/several) years ago 名詞-s,前麵省略了some
3、He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back.
The teachers in the New Oriental school can get a good salary.
borrow sth. from sb. 從……借……
never=not 前麵不需要加助動詞
pay在這裏的意思是“償還(債務等)”,還可解釋為“付,支付(價款、賬單)等”。Pay既是及物動詞也可以是不及物動詞。
How much did you pay for that dress?
I paid the bill.
pay back 還錢
never pays it back 從不歸還
4、Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table.
and連接三個並列的動詞

【Special Difficulties】
動詞+名詞/代詞+帶to的不定式
某些動詞之後的帶to的不定式之前可以有一個名詞或代詞。有些動詞後的名詞/代詞可有可無,但有和沒有經常影響影響整個句子的意義。
I asked him to lend me twenty pounds.
I want to speak to John.
I want you to speak to John.
Would you like to do sth.?
I’d like sb. to do sth.
I’d like to do sth.
還有一些動詞後麵用不定式作賓語時,其後通常必須有一名詞或代詞。這類動詞有allow,advise,help,teach,tell,request等,這類動詞不但可用於主動語態,也可用於被動語態:
We were not allowed to see the picture.
hope一定不能說hope sb. to do sth.,正確用法是hope to do (希望自己)或hope that(希望別人)
