【课堂详解】

第二、带有carry，c-a-r-r-y，carry这个单词的表述“迷恋”的习惯用语。它是be carried away（get carried away）。It means to be very excited and lose control of your feelings. 中文意思是变得很激动而失去自控。更具有文学性的翻译可以是忘乎所以，神魂颠倒，冲昏头脑，陶醉。我们来看2个例句。
例句1：On no account should we fight on day after day without cease, or be carried away by success. 决不可以无止境地每日每时地斗下去，决不可被胜利冲昏自己的头脑。
注解1：On no account是“绝对”的意思。例如： On no account can we ignore the value of knowledge. 我们绝对不能忽视知识的价值。Hence, on no account can we equate 1 happiness with wealth. 因此，我们决不能把快乐等同于财富。
注解2：Day after day是“日复一日”的意思。那么“年复一年”，我们可以说为year after year。“岁月蹉跎”，我们可以说为stealing day after day。例如：Day after day, year after year, no one can tell me who I've been waiting for. Maybe somebody, maybe nobody. 年复一年,日复一日,没有人能告诉我，我在为谁而等待。也许是在等有缘人,也许什么人也等不到。Day after day she waited in vain for him to telephone her. 日复一日，她徒劳地等待他的电话。（备注：in vain 徒劳地；无效地）注解3：Without cease是“不停地”“不断地”“持续地”的意思。努力不倦或者是努力不懈，我们可以说为strive 2 without cease。卜昼卜夜，我们可以说为day and night without cease。例如：The purpose in life is to learn and to give without cease, to grow as a person, and to benefit others. 生命的意义何在？不断地学习、奉献，使自己成长，并成就他人。We shall work on without cease in order to finish the job on time. 我们应该不停地干，才能按时完成工作。
注解4：这个句子是一个倒装句。在以下否定意义的短语位于句首时，句子应该用倒装语序: under no circumstance, on no account,in no way, at no point, at no time, in no sense，这些短语都表示“绝不”。
我们再来看2个例句：At no point will my reference 3 books be removed from the library. 绝不可能将参考书带出图书馆。At no time shall a student cheat on his exam. 学生任何时候都不允许考试作弊。
从以上例句中可以看到当这些表示“绝不”否定意义的短语位于句首时倒装句的结构是：介词短语+助动词（或情态动词）+主语+谓语。
例句2：I closed my eyes, letting myself get carried away by my daughter's song. 我闭上眼睛，任由女儿的美妙的歌声牵引我的思绪。
注解：句子中的letting myself get carried away by my daughter's song是现在分词短语在句子中作伴随状况状语。我闭上了眼睛，那么闭上眼睛的同时，我的脑海里萦绕着女儿的歌声。这2个动作同时在发生。
