Would you like to leave hima message?约翰去办公室了。你愿意给他留个口信吗?与message相关的另一个词是messenger,意为"送信人、"信使等。3.Upto now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requestsfor spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage tothe other.到当前为止,斯科特先生从一个汽 车修理部向另一个发送了大量索取备件的信件和其他紧急函件。(1)这句话看起来很长,但却是个简单句。sent有两个宾语,一是 requests, 二是 messages。 from one garage to the other 是整个句子的状语。up to now相当于until/till now,意思是"迄今、"到当前为止,一般与现 在完成时连用:Up to now, he has not been very hard-working.到当前为止,他一直不是很用功。Up to now, he has collected a good number of stamps.至U当前为止,他已“攵集 了很多邮票。request作名词要求、“请求讲时,往往需要补充说明其内容,如课文 中requests for spare parts(索取备件的信件)。She sent a request for help to Gary.她向加里请求协助。He granted my request for more time.他同意了我延长时间的请求。(4)a great many在这句话中为形容词短语。many单独使用时前面不加a, 但加了 great/good等形容词后,前面要加a:2/5A great many trees were destroyed in the storm.好多树在这场暴风雨中被毁坏了。a great many还能够作代词短语用:He has read a great many of the books in this room.这房间的书他好多都读过 了。4.ln this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone'service.就这样, 他开始 了自己的私人“ 业务。service作为不可数名词时通常用于表示旅馆、餐馆以及商店等对旅客、 顾客等的侍候、接待或服务;它作为可数名词时能够表示为协助他人所采取的行 动或所做的工作:The service in that hotel is quite good.那家旅馆的服务很不错。You have done me a great service.你帮了我很大的忙。(2)在课文中,service的意思是“业务、”公用事业 等。这类用法一般有:the mail service(邮政业务);the telephoneservice( 业 务);a travel service(旅行社);a news service(通讯社)等。能够看出,service既能够 指公用事业的业务,也能够指办这些业务的机构。所以,课文中的elephone, service实际上是个大词,有一种幽默感。语法 Grammar in use.一般过去时与现在完成时在表示过去某个特定时间发生的事情或动作时,要用一般过去时: Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message fromPinhurst to Silbury.昨天,一只鸽子把第一封信从平赫斯特带到锡尔伯里。3/5在表示刚刚或者已经完成一个动作并且对现在有影响时,那么要用现在完成 时,时间状语能够是不特指的now, just,或者是for引导的一段时间,或者不加 任何时间状语:He has written a book.他写了一本书。.now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst 现在他刚在平赫斯特 买下了另一个汽车修理部。(现在拥有)在一段文章中能够同时出现一般现在时、 一般过去时和现在完成时。所以,要根据具体情况灵活使用这些时态,体会它 们之间的区别:I have a brother, Tom. He is an engineer. He has beenabroad for three years now. Several days ago, I received aletter from him.我有一个弟弟,名叫汤姆。他是位工程师。他出国已3年了。几天前我收 到了一封他的来信。1 .带way的一些短语名词way的用法很灵活,能组成不同的搭配:(l)in the/ one's way,阻碍(某人):You are in my way.你挡着我了。Don't stand in the way. I can't see the blackboard.别挡着我的视线。我看不见 黑板了。2 2) in the way,按照,以方式:You can make the cake in the way I have told you.你能够按我告诉你的方法做 蛋糕。3 3) on the/ one's way,在途中:4/5I met Mary on my way to school.我在去学校的路上遇到了玛丽。by the way,顺便提一下(插入语,改变话题时使用):By the way, have you met Bill before?顺便问一下,你以前见过比尔吗?in a way,在某种水准上,从某种意义来说:In a way you are right.从某种意义上说你是对的。
