讓我們繼續積累！

本課複習：過去完成時

過去完成時由 had+ 過去分詞構成，它表示過去某時或某動作發生之前已經完成的動作或情況，即“較早的過去”。在用過去完成時態的句子中，常用的連詞有 when, after, as soon as, until, by that time等

After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.

drove on是個過去的動作，離開在這個動作之前，過去的過去，所以用had left

As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.

連詞as soon as，一。。。就。。。，時間狀語從句

I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, ‘Do you speak English?'

when連接

本課講作者一次有趣的經歷。場景：作者開車從法國南部的一個小村莊出來後拉了一個搭順風車的人，用僅會的幾句法語跟他問好，他也用蹩腳法語的法語回覆，然後一路無話，快到終點時，他倆才發現彼此都是講英語的。

同樣是從一個村子開車出來的場景，我們看看新概念三48課會更豐滿，一起對比一下

本課

After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.

新概念三48課

On the day before our departure, several bus loads of tourists descended on the town. This was more than we could bear, so we decided to spend our last day exploring the countryside.

詞彙用到後來，名詞就比較高級了。在我們離開的前一天可以說The day before we depart,注意本課用了一個名詞departure.有幾輛載著遊客的公交車來到了這個小鎮，注意本課用法several bus loads of tourists.如果我們自己說拜訪腦子第一反應visit,注意本課用詞descend突然襲擊突然拜訪。descended on the town.這是我們無法忍受的，所以我們決定最後一天去農村鄉間遊一遊。新概念二48課出現過In the end, it was more than he could bear.作者把最後一天去鄉間遊寫成spend our last day exploring the countryside.注意人家用的explore.

以上幾處淋漓盡致地提現了作者用詞的多樣性，比較高級

新概念二離開小村子繼續去下一個城鎮只說了一句

新概念三詳細描述了時間，離開的原因，我們的感受，我們的下一步方案。兩個狀語從句，傳達了很多的意思。

本課

On the way, a young man waved to me.

離開村莊馬上就遇見了人，接下來是與人之間的描寫

我們再來看下新概念三

Taking a path which led out of the town, we crossed a few fields until we came to a dense wood.

走上一條出鎮的小路，我們穿過幾塊農田直到來到一片茂密森林

分詞結構裡套著定語從句，分詞結構相當於時間狀語從句while we were taking a path...

We expected the path to end abruptly, but we found that it traced its way through the trees.

我們原本以為小路會戛然而止，哪曾想曲徑通幽，在樹林中繼續延伸

We tramped through the wood for over two hours until we arrived at a deep stream.

我們徒步跋涉樹林兩個多小時直到來到一條深溪

We could see that the path continued on the other side, but we had no idea how we could get across the stream.

我們可以看見這條小路延伸到了小溪對岸。continued過去分詞做定語。但是我們卻不知道怎樣穿過小溪

Suddenly my wife spotted a boat moored to the bank. In it there was a boatman fast asleep.

突然我妻子發現了一條船moored過去分詞做定語用繩子系在岸邊的船。在船裡有一個熟睡fast asleep的船伕。新概念二27課Their sleeping bags were warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly.

We gently woke him up and asked him to ferry us to the other side. Though he was reluctant to do so at first, we eventually persuaded him to take us.

注意要開始社交了

我們輕輕地喚醒他請求他把我們拉倒對岸。儘管他起初不願意，我們最終還是成功地說服了他。

be reluctant to do新概念二85課We shall all remember Mr. Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school.
