4. The gangster said, "I'll sell you the watch for $20 dollars instead."

5. The politician smiled a great big smile.

这个政客脸上绽开了笑容。



“smile ...smile”表示"做出一个…的笑容”,前一个smile 是动词,后一个是名词。great当副词时通常是表示“很好地”,但在这里是用以修饰表示“大”的形容词,起强调的作用。



6. He answered, "In that case, I'll take two."

他回答说:“如果是那样的话,我买两个。”



“in that case"表示“如果那样的话“in any case”表示 “无论如何;总之”,“in no case”表示“在任何情况下绝不”, “incase”可以表示:①以防万一(通常放在句尾);②如果···,若是(当连接词);③以防···(当连接词)。
