　　【Text】

　　I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'

　　参考译文

　　去年我有过一次有趣的经历. 在离开法国南部的一个小村庄后, 我继续驶往下一个城镇. 途中, 一个青年人向我招手. 我把车停下, 他向我提出要求搭车. 他一上车, 我就用法语向他问早上好, 他也同样用法语回答我. 除了个别几个单词外, 我根本不会法语. 旅途中我们谁也没讲话. 就要到达那个镇时, 那青年突然开了口, 慢慢地说道 : “你会讲英语吗?”我很快了解到, 他自己就是个英国人!

　　【课文讲解】

　　1、 After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. after引导的从句如果一个是过去时，一个是过去完成时，那一定是从句用过去完成时;before引导的从句表示“在……之前”，主句发生在从句之前, 主句用过去完成时。 drive on 继续开往(on加在动词的后面表示继续) My heart will go on 《我心永恒》 drive to 开车去某地副词on紧跟在动词后面时可以表示“向前”、“继续下去”等意义： He talked on until everybody had gone. 他滔滔不绝地讲到大家都走了。 I was reading when my friend called. After he had gone, I went on to read. 我朋友来看我时我正在看书。他走了以后我便继续看书。表达方位的表达方式一共有3个介词, in(在……里面),on(接壤)，to(没有相接的, 是相离的) A is to the east of B A在B的东方(A与B不相接) A is on the east of B A在B的东方(A与B接壤) A is in the east of B A在B的东方(A在B的里面)

　　2、On the way, a young man waved to me. on the way 在路上, 在途中 wave to sb. 冲某人挥手

　　3、 As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. as soon as 一……就……，后面一定要加一个句子(时间状语从句), 强调两个动作几乎是连在一起的，“一” 后面的先发生 As soon as I had entered the room,I took off my coat at once. As soon as I had received the letter,I ringed/called him back. 只要是状语从句, 一旦遇到将来时, 变为一般现在时 As soon as you arrive,you must call me. 你一到就打我电话表示用某种语言作为交际手段时介词用in，表示讲某种语言时可以不加介词。 I speak English. I say a word in Chinese. That book is written in German. reply 要想加宾语要加 to (+要回答的内容)，而in the same language 在句中作状语, 不是replay所应回答的问题(宾语), 故用in

　　4、Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. apart from… 除……以外 not … at all 一点都不，表强调 I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

　　5、 I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' nearly 将要 when的翻译要看当时的具体情况, 在这里译为“就在此时” I had nearly reached home when I found my mother standing there. Do you speak English? 你说英语吗? 你是说英语国家的人吗?(问的是一个事实，不是问会说英语吗)　 Do you swim? 你去游泳吗?　　 Can you swim? 你会游泳吗?

　　6、As I soon learnt, he was English himself!' I learn 我得知; I know 我知道(我本来就知道) As+主语+动词，从句 (As my mother said/As I heard/ As I learnt) 正如…… As we know,the New Concept English is very good. 正如我们所知…… As I think,it is the coldest day in the year. As he said, English is easy to learn. himself反身代词单独放在句尾 , 起强调作用 I read English myself.

　　【Key structures】

　　过去完成时过去完成时：由had+过去分词构成，它表示过去某时或某动作发生之前已经完成的动作或情况，即“较早的过去”。过去完成时一定要以一个过去时态作铺垫, 这个动作一定要发生在had done之后。在用过去完成时态的句子中，常用连词when，after，as soon as，until，by that time等。常与现在完成时连用的副词如already，just，never，never…before也常与过去完成时连用，以强调事件发生的先后次序： I didn’t know that she was a famous actress until you had told me. The boys loved the zoo. They had never seen wild animals before. 在那些用过去完成时的句子中没有明确的时间状语，但通过上下文可以看出动作发生的先后。 Exercises D (用正确的时态填空) 1 The moment he had said this, he ______ (regret) it. the moment=as soon as 一……就……，后面直接加从句 2 It ______ (begin) to rain before she took a taxi. before引导的从句用一般过去时, 主句用过去完成时
