一、课文阅读练习
I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said,'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.' 'So do I,'answered the policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?' 'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see, I've forgotten my key.' 'Your what ?' he called. 'My key,' I shouted.' Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
二、单词和习惯用语
1. Regret
- Regret to do
- Regret doing sth
两者的区别:很遗憾;很后悔
-造句结构
Sb regret doing sth
Regret to tell you, …
例句:I regretted telling you that I love you since I knew you would marry that girl who you really loved.我后悔告诉你我爱你,因为我知道你将和那个你真正爱着的女孩结婚。
2. 强调句研究:
'I'm trying to repair the bell,'answered Bill.'I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'
'You certainly did give me a surprise!'这句怎么翻译?
正解:你小子的确吓了我一跳啊!
- 强调句——肯定句中常用do,did,does加强语气
sb do/did/does 动词原形
