LESSON 47 A thirsty ghost
    1.He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. 他告訴我有天夜里他怎么也睡不著，因?yàn)樗牭骄瓢衫飩鱽硪魂嚻婀值捻懧暋?BR>    coming為現(xiàn)在分詞，它引導(dǎo)的短語修飾noise，為賓語補(bǔ)足語。它也可以變?yōu)閺木浣Y(jié)構(gòu)：a strange noise that came from the bar。在一些表示感覺的動(dòng)詞如see，hear，feel，watch，notice 等之后，往往用賓語+賓語補(bǔ)足語這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)，其賓語補(bǔ)足語既可以是不定式（通常不加to），也可以是現(xiàn)在分詞，兩者在意義上區(qū)別不大，現(xiàn)在分詞表示動(dòng)作正在發(fā)生，不定式則表示動(dòng)作發(fā)生了：
    I heard someone knocking at the door.
    我聽到有人正敲門。
    I heard you sing this song yesterday.
    昨天我聽到你唱這支歌。
    2.．…they were on in the morning.……早晨燈都亮著。
    on為形容詞，表示“開著的”、“接通的”，其反義詞為off：
    When he arrived home, he found that all the lights were on/ off.
    他到家時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的燈都亮著／關(guān)著。
    Is the TV on? I thought I had turned it off.
    電視機(jī)是開著的嗎？我以為我把它關(guān)掉了。
    3.He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. 他還說他發(fā)現(xiàn)了5只空的威士忌酒瓶子，這肯定是鬼魂頭天晚上喝的
    that引導(dǎo)的為間接引語，因此時(shí)間狀語要變動(dòng)。直接引語中的時(shí)間狀語為 last night，轉(zhuǎn)述時(shí)變成了 the night before。其他時(shí)間狀語的變化有：now→then，two days ago→two days before/ earlier，today→that day，tonight→that night，tomorrow→the next/ following day，last night→the night before等。
    4.．…they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.……即使他把小酒店白送人，他們也不要。
    （1）連詞 even if表示“即使”，它引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句含有很強(qiáng)的假定性：
    I won't have dinner with him even if he pays for it.
    即使是他付錢我也不和他一起吃飯。
    （2）give away是個(gè)固定短語，其含義之一是“贈(zèng)送”、“免費(fèi)給予”：
    He gave all his books away to the library.
    他把他所有的書都贈(zèng)給了圖書館。
