Text

If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!

 

參考譯文

一旦你把汽車停錯了地方, 交通警很快就會發現. 如果他沒給你罰單就放你走了, 算你走運. 然而, 情況並不都是這樣, 交通警有時也很客氣. 有一次在瑞典度假, 我發現我的車上有這樣一個字條 : “先生, 歡迎您光臨我們的城市. 此處是‘禁止停車’區. 如果您對我們街上的標牌稍加注意, 您在此會過得很愉快的. 謹此提請注意. “如果你收到這樣的懇求, 你是不會不遵照執行的!

【課文講解】

1If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it.

英語中指每個人/任何人的不定代詞通常是one,但在日常會話中,非正式的you更為常用。

  One can never know what will happen tomorrow.  

  一個人永遠不會知道明天將會發生什麽事。

  If you make a journey around the world, you’ll see many beauty spots.

  如果你進行一次環球旅行的話,你就會看到許多風景勝地。

in the wrong place    不合適的地方

wrong    adj. 不合適的,  right    adj. 合適的

He is the right person who you are looking for.

They met(A met B)in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You met the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

2You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket.

let (sb.) go     放開,釋放,使自由,讓(某人)去

  The man won’t let go (of) my arm.    那人抓住我的胳膊不放。

  He is very angry now. He won’t let you go easily.

without a ticket=without giving you a ticket

If 引導的叫條件句, without後麵的名詞也叫條件

without+n.   如果沒有……

Without water,fish cannot live.

 

3However, this does not always happen.

however=but  然而,however常常放在句首或句子中都可以,but習慣放在兩個句子之間;but轉折性語義比較強,however轉折語義比較弱

 

4During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.'

welcome sb. to+地點     歡迎某人來某地

enjoy     v. 享受

I have enjoyed my stay here.    我已經在這兒很快樂了

Enjoy your stay here.    祝你玩得開心

  a well-to-do family    一個富裕的家庭

 

Key structures】 

條件句(Conditional sentences

if引導的條件從句指能夠發生、可能發生或可能發生過的事件。如果認為將來的事件很可能會發生,那麽if從句中要用一般現在時(有時也用其他形式的現在時),主句中用will(或shall)加動詞形式或其他形式的將來時。

If he is sleeping,don't wake him up.

條件句的主句中的will表示肯定如此或幾乎可以肯定會如此。如果覺得其“肯定”程度達不到使用will的程度,或者如果想表達建議等其他意思,就可以用別的情態助動詞來代替will;條件句中的主句還可以用祈使語氣等表示請求、建議等。

  You can post these letters if you want to.

  If it’s fine tomorrow, we can/may go out.

  Please let me know if you cant’t come.
