课文详注 Further notes on the text
1 . Am I all right ?(标题)我是否痊愈?
all right 在不同的上下文中会有不同的含义.当指人的健康状况时,它可以表示“安然无恙的”、“良好的”:
I was not very well last week, but I feel all right now. 我上星期有点不舒服,不过我现在觉得好了.
2 . … he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so . …… 他问医生他的手术是否成功,但医生拒绝告诉他.
whether 引导的从句在句中作动词 tell 的直接宾语,是一个间接一般疑问句.( cf .本课语法)
so 在这里为代词,代替前面的动词不定式(在 to tell himwhether … ).它一般出现 believe, do, expect, hope, say, tell, think, appear 等之后
3 . The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone. 第 2 天,这位病人要了一部床头电话.
( 1 ) following 在这里相当于 next ,表示“紧接着的”、“其次的”.
( 2 ) ask for 在这句话中表示“请求”、“要求(得到某个东西)”;在下一句话( … asked for Doctor Millington )中它表示“要求(某人)来(接电话)”.
4 . … Mr . Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient ,a Mr . John Gilbert . …… 吉尔伯特先生说他想询问一个病人的情况,是一位名叫约翰 • 吉尔伯特的先生.
( 1 ) certain 在这里没有“肯定的”、“确实的”等含义,而表示“某一”、“某位”,暗指说话者或说话对象可能对这人 / 这事不大清楚 / 熟悉,或所指的这个人身份不大清楚: Many years ago a certain doctor arrived in London. 许多年以前,有某个医生来到了伦敦.
( 2 )在第 6 课的语法中,我们提到姓名前不加冠词.但是, a/an 有时可以用在称呼( Mr ., Mrs ., Miss 等)前面,表示“我不认识的某某人”:
A Mr . Gilbert phoned and left a message for you.
一位姓吉尔伯特的先生给您打来电话并留了言.
这种情况下, a 通常与表示“某一”的 certain 连用:
A certain Mrs . Hart is waiting to see you. 有位哈特夫人正等着见您.
5 . He then asked when Mr . Gilbert would be allowed to go bome … 然后他又问吉尔伯特先生什么时候可以回家 …… would be allowed 为被动语态用于过去将来时. when 引导的从句为间接疑问词疑问句.( cf .本课语法)
6 . for another two weeks ,又两个星期.
another 作为限定词表示“另一个”、“再一个”的时候,通常与可数的单数名词连用,不和复数形式连用;但是后面可以跟基数词 /few+ 复数名词(它们被当成一个整体):
Do you need another cup of coffee? 你要不要再来一杯咖啡?
I need another three driving lessons before my test. 考试前我还需上 3 节驾驶课.
I need another few hours before I can finish my homework. 我还需几个小时才能做完作业.
语法 Grammar in use
间接引语:间接疑问句在第 15 课的语法中,我们学习了间接引语的基本形式和间接陈述句的用法(包括时态变化等).疑问句变为间接疑问句时有一些独特的规律.首先引号和问号不再使用.其次,直接疑问句中的倒装语序在转述疑问句里要还原为陈述句语序(主语 + 动词).同时,如有必要,还需改变时态.
间接一般疑问句转述一般疑问句时必须使用 if 或 whether ,不可省略.助动词 do/does 和 did 在转述疑问句里消失了.
ask, want to know, wonder 等后面的 if 和 whether 通常可以互换,但是 whether 表示的怀疑程度比 if 稍大.
在表示两者挑一时更常用 whether : She asked me whether I wanted tea or coffee. 她问我要茶还是要咖啡.转述疑问句中带有or not时,通常用whether引导
词汇学习 Word study
1 . exchange
( 1 ) vt .换,更换,调换(指同类事物之间):
If you don't like the colour of this dress, you can exchange the dress in the shop. 你如果不喜欢这件衣服的颜色,你可以去商店换一件.
want to exchange the red skirt for a blue one. 我想把这条红裙子换成蓝色的.
( 2 ) vt .交换,互换:
met Frank at a bus stop this afternoon and we exchanged a few words. 我今天下午在一个公共汽车站碰见了弗兰克,我们聊了几句. Did you exchange gifts after the party? 晚会结束后,你们交换礼物了吗?

当约翰.吉尔伯特住院的时候,他问医生他的手术是否成功,但医生拒绝告诉他。第二天,这位病人要了一部床头电话。当房里只剩他一个人时,他挂通了医院的交换台,要求与米灵顿医生讲话。当这位医生接过电话时,吉尔伯特先生说他想询问一个病人的情况,是一位名叫约翰.吉尔伯特的先生。他问吉尔伯特先生的手术中否成功,医生告诉他手术很成功。然后他又问吉尔伯特先生什么时候可以回家,医生说他在医院还必须再住上两个星期。之后,米灵顿医生问打电话的人是否是病人的亲属。“不是,”病人回答说,“我就是约翰.吉尔伯特先生。”
课文详注 Further notes on the text
1 . Am I all right ?(标题)我是否痊愈?
all right 在不同的上下文中会有不同的含义。当指人的健康状况时,它可以表示“安然无恙的”、“良好的”:
I was not very well last week, but I feel all right now. 我上星期有点不舒服,不过我现在觉得好了。
2 . … he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so . …… 他问医生他的手术是否成功,但医生拒绝告诉他。
whether 引导的从句在句中作动词 tell 的直接宾语,是一个间接一般疑问句。( cf .本课语法)
so 在这里为代词,代替前面的动词不定式(在 to tell himwhether … )。它一般出现 believe, do, expect, hope, say, tell, think, appear 等之后
3 . The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone. 第 2 天,这位病人要了一部床头电话。
( 1 ) following 在这里相当于 next ,表示“紧接着的”、“其次的”。
( 2 ) ask for 在这句话中表示“请求”、“要求(得到某个东西)”;在下一句话( … asked for Doctor Millington )中它表示“要求(某人)来(接电话)”。
4 . … Mr . Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient ,a Mr . John Gilbert . …… 吉尔伯特先生说他想询问一个病人的情况,是一位名叫约翰 • 吉尔伯特的先生。
( 1 ) certain 在这里没有“肯定的”、“确实的”等含义,而表示“某一”、“某位”,暗指说话者或说话对象可能对这人 / 这事不大清楚 / 熟悉,或所指的这个人身份不大清楚: Many years ago a certain doctor arrived in London. 许多年以前,有某个医生来到了伦敦。
( 2 )在第 6 课的语法中,我们提到姓名前不加冠词。但是, a/an 有时可以用在称呼( Mr ., Mrs ., Miss 等)前面,表示“我不认识的某某人”:
A Mr . Gilbert phoned and left a message for you.
一位姓吉尔伯特的先生给您打来电话并留了言。
这种情况下, a 通常与表示“某一”的 certain 连用:
A certain Mrs . Hart is waiting to see you. 有位哈特夫人正等着见您。
5 . He then asked when Mr . Gilbert would be allowed to go bome … 然后他又问吉尔伯特先生什么时候可以回家 …… would be allowed 为被动语态用于过去将来时。 when 引导的从句为间接疑问词疑问句。( cf .本课语法)
6 . for another two weeks ,又两个星期。
another 作为限定词表示“另一个”、“再一个”的时候,通常与可数的单数名词连用,不和复数形式连用;但是后面可以跟基数词 /few+ 复数名词(它们被当成一个整体):
Do you need another cup of coffee? 你要不要再来一杯咖啡?
I need another three driving lessons before my test. 考试前我还需上 3 节驾驶课。
I need another few hours before I can finish my homework. 我还需几个小时才能做完作业。
语法 Grammar in use
间接引语:间接疑问句在第 15 课的语法中,我们学习了间接引语的基本形式和间接陈述句的用法(包括时态变化等)。疑问句变为间接疑问句时有一些独特的规律。首先引号和问号不再使用。其次,直接疑问句中的倒装语序在转述疑问句里要还原为陈述句语序(主语 + 动词)。同时,如有必要,还需改变时态。
间接一般疑问句转述一般疑问句时必须使用 if 或 whether ,不可省略。助动词 do/does 和 did 在转述疑问句里消失了。
ask, want to know, wonder 等后面的 if 和 whether 通常可以互换,但是 whether 表示的怀疑程度比 if 稍大。
在表示两者挑一时更常用 whether : She asked me whether I wanted tea or coffee. 她问我要茶还是要咖啡。转述
