Lesson 52: A pretty carpet 1
漂亮的地毯
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音,然后回答以下问题。
What is the writer's carpet made of?
We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily 2 put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch 3 of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed 4 at it for some time then added 5, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'

参考译文
我们刚刚搬进一所新房子,我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一个上午。我试图把我的新房间收拾整齐,但这并不容易,因为我有1,000多本书。更糟糕的是房间还非常小,所以我暂时把书放在了地板上。这会儿,书把地板的每一点空隙都占据了,我实际上是踩着这些书进出房间的。几分钟前,我妹妹帮我把一个旧书橱抬上了楼。她走进我的房间,当她看到地板上的那些书时,大吃一惊。“这是我见过的最漂亮的地毯,”她说。她盯着“地毯”看了一会儿,又说:“你根本用不着书橱,空闲时你可以坐在这儿读地毯!”
自学导读
1.I have been trying to get my new room in order.我试图把我的新房间收拾整齐。
(1)与课文开头那句话的后半部分一样,这个句子也用了现在完成进行时。(cf.本课语法)
(2)get…in order表in“把……整理好”,in order的含义之一为“整齐”、“井然有序”:
Get/Put everything in order before you leave the room.
离开房间前把所有的东西都整理好。
2.To make matters worse, the room is rather small…更糟糕的是房间还非常小……
to make matters worse是个插入语,与主句之间要用逗号隔开。
matters(复数形式)可以表示“事态”、“情况”。这个短语是个惯用语:
I lost my way in the forest, and to make matters worse, it became dark.
我在森林里迷了路。更糟糕的是,天开始黑了。
3.At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room.这会儿,书把地板的每一点空隙都占据了,我实际上是踩着这些书进出房间的。
(1)at the moment表示“此刻”、“目前”:
At the moment, I'm busy preparing for the exams.
目前我正忙着准备考试。
(2)to get…为表示目的的不定式短语,相当于一个从句。
4.You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!空闲时你可以坐在这儿读地毯!
spare可以表示“空闲的”、“多余的”:
I like to read in my spare time.
我空闲时喜欢读书。
Have you got a spare moment?
你(现在)有空吗?
语法 Grammar in use
1.现在完成时与现在完成进行时
在第4课、第28课的语法中,我们学习了现在完成时的用法以及经常与它连用的时间副词(或短语)、介词等。现在完成进行时由have been+现在分词构成,强调动作在某一段时间内一直在进行,而且动作现在有结果。到现在为止,该动作可能已不再继续进行,也可能还在继续进行,这要根据上下文来确定。句子中常含有all+表示时间的词语如all day, all morning等或for和since。一般说来,现在完成表示已完成的动作,现在完成进行时则可表示尚未完成的动作。有些动词,如learn, lie, live, rain, sit, sleep, stand, study, wait, work等本身就有持续性,现在完成时形式与现在完成进行时形式可以互换,惟一的区别是后者更强调动作的持续性:
2.形容词、相应的副词及其用法
(1)许多副词,特别是表示方式的副词,皆由形容词加-ly构成,如easy(容易的)/easily(容易地),beautiful(漂亮的)/beautifully(漂亮地)。一些频度副词也如此构成,如usual(通常的)/usually(通常)。还有少数几个表示程度及观点的副词也都以-ly结尾:high(高的)/highly(高度地),real(真的)/really(真正的)。这些副词与它相应的形容词的意义区别不大,比较容易掌握:
She is very happy now.
她现在很快乐。
She lives happily with her mother.
她和母亲一起快乐地生活。
(2)有些副词虽然由形容词加-ly构成,但在意义上与其相应的形容词并不相同,如hard(勤奋的,困难的)/hardly(几乎不),cold(冷的)/coldly(冷淡的),late(迟到的,晚的)/lately 7(最近,近来),near(近的,接近的)/nearly(几乎,差不多,差点儿)。有些副词有两种形式。有的意义相同,如cheap(廉价地)/cheaply(廉价地),但有的意义不同如late(迟,晚)/lately(近来),hard(努力地,猛烈地)/hardly(几乎不)。有些副词在形式上与形容词相同,如fast(快),past(过去),far(远)等。
(3)大多数方式副词的位置一般在宾语或动词后面:
Look at this photo carefully.
仔细看这张照片。(宾语后面)
It snowed heavily 8 last night.
昨天夜里雪下得很大。(动词后面)
Why don't you try to work hard?
你为什么不努力工作呢?(动词后面)
表示时间的副词常位于句尾,有时也可位于句首:
This morning I got up very early/ late.
今天早上我起得很早/晚。(句首或句尾)
程度副词,如almost, enough, hardly, nearly, quite, rather, too等,大部分用在它们所修饰的词之前:
The film was quite good.
这个电影相当不错。(修饰形容词)
I nearly cried out with surprise.
我惊讶得几乎叫了起来。(修饰动词)
副词的位置比较复杂,大部分要看具体情况。
词汇学习 Word study
1.own
(1)vt. 拥有:
I own over a thousand books.
我有一千多本书。
Who owns this car?
这辆车是谁的?
(2)vt.,vi. 承认:
He owned(that)he had made a mistake.

He owned to stealing the wallet.
他承认偷了钱包。
(3)adj.自己的:
He lives in his own house.
他住在自己家里。
He has a car of his own.
他有一辆自己的车。
2.quite与quiet
由于发音和词形都很相似,这两个单词往往容易搞混,其实区别很大。
(1)quite为程度副词,表示“完全”、“相当”、“很”等含义:
I'm quite ready.
我已全准备好了。
That hat is quite pretty.
那顶帽子很漂亮。
Are you quite certain?
你敢完全肯定吗?
She isn't quite happy.
她不是很开心。
(2)quiet可作形容词,表示“安静的”、“平静的”、“静止的”、“寂静的”等:
Please be quiet.
请安静点。
The sea was very quiet this morning.
今天上午大海很平静。
The house became quiet again when the children were gone.
孩子们走了之后屋子里又变得寂静了。
