Lesson 31 A lovable eccentricListen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题。Why did the shop assistant refuse to serve Dickie?True eccentrics never deliberately set out to draw attention to themselves. They disregard social conventions without being conscious that they are doing anything extraordinary. This invariably wins them the love and respect of others, for they add colour to the dull routine of everyday life.Up to the time of his death, Richard Colson was one of the most notable figures in our town. He was a shrewd and wealthy businessman, but most people in the town hardly knew anything about this side of his life. He was known to us all as Dickie and his eccentricity had become legendary long before he died.Dickie disliked snobs intensely.

He wanted to buy a £ 300 watch for his wife, but he was in such a bedraggled condition that an assistant refused to serve him. Dickie left the shop without a word and returned carrying a large cloth bag. As it was extremely heavy, he dumped it on the counter. The assistant asked They disregard social conventions without being conscious that they are doing anything extraordinary.他们不顾社会习俗，意识不到自己所作所为有什么特殊之处。He made a mistake without being conscious of the fact.This invariably wins them the love and respect of others, for they add colour to the dull routine of everyday life.他们总能赢得别人的喜爱与尊敬，因为他们给平淡单一的日常生活增 添了色彩。invariably:=alwayswin them the love and respect of others - win sb sthHer fine character quickly won her the friendship of her colleagues.add colour to为增添色彩Eccentric add colour to our dull life.希望背诵第一段Up to the time of his death, Richard Colson was one of the most notable figures in our town.理查德.科尔森生前是我们镇上最有名望的人之一。up to the time of his death: before he died 完成时的标志，这里之所以 没有用现在或过去完成时，主要是突出一个客观事实 notable: famousHe was a shrewd and wealthy businessman, but most people in the town hardly knew anything about this side of his life.他是个精明能干、有钱的商人，但镇上大部分人对他生活中的这一个方面几乎一无所知。this side of his life生活中的这一个方面:指他的精明能干、有钱He was known to us all as Dickie and his eccentricity had become legendary long before he died.大家都管他叫迪基。早在他去世前很久，他的古怪行为就成了传奇故 事了。be known to sb.众所周知long before he died在他去世前很久Dickie disliked snobs intensely.迪基痛恨势利小人。intensely: violently,strongly, very muchThough he owed a large car, he hardly ever used it, prefering always to go on foot.尽管他有一辆豪华小轿车，但却很少使用，常常喜欢以步代车。Preferring现在分词做伴随状语 hardly: rarelyOne day, he walked into an expensive shop after having been caught in a particularly heavy shower.一天，他遇上一场瓢泼大雨，淋得透湿。be caught in突然遇到，突然碰上 be caught in a heavy shower 遇至U瓢泼大雨 be caught in a heavy snow 遇至1|大雪be caught in a heavy storm 遇至U风暴He wanted to buy a $300 watch for his wife, but he was in such a bedraggled condition than an assistant refused to serve him.他走进一家高级商店，要为妻子买一块价值300英镑的手表。但店员 见他浑身泥水的样子，竟不肯接待他。in such a condition/state 处于种状态bedraggled condition拖泥带水的状态such.that.如此以至于The assistant asked him to leave, but Dickie paid no attention to him and requested to see the manager.店员让迪基走开，他置之不理，并要求见经理。pay no attention to him= ignore him=take no notice of him=turn a deaf ear to him= refuse to listen to himrequest求见（正式，礼貌，语气强烈）I requested the headmaster.Every student can request assistance of their teacher.demand在语气上还要强烈，并且不愿意接受否定的回答I demand my rights.我要求我的权利。ask 口头或写信要求得到某物I asked to get the book.He asked me for help.Recognizing who the customer was, the manager was most apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely.经理认出了这位顾客，表示了深深的歉意，还严厉地训斥了店员。recognizing现在分词做原因状语most=very muchWhen Dickie was given the watch, he presented the assistant with the cloth bag.店员为迪基拿出了那块手表，迪基把布口袋递给他。hand sb sth /hand sth to sb把某物递给某人present sb with sth / present sth to sb把某物交给某人（比较正式）He insisted on the assistant's counting the money before he left - 30,000 pennies in all!他坚持要店员点清那些硬币后他才离去。这些硬币加在一起共有 30,000 枚!insist on doing/insist that + should do 坚决要求He insisted that the shop assistant should count the money before he left.This exhibition received a great deal of attention in the press, for though the pictures were supposed to be the work of famous artists, they had in fact been painted by Dickie.这次展览引起报界广泛注意，因为这些画名义上是名家的作品，事实 上是迪基自己画的。关注“新标准英语”，免费同步辅导，免费海量 资源receive an attention 弓I 起注意receive a great deal of attention in the press 弓| 起报界的广泛注意 suppose to doIt took him four years to stage this elaborate joke simply to prove that critics do not always know what they are talking about.他花了 4年时间策划这出精心设计的闹剧，只是想证明评论家们有时 并不解他们所谈论的事情。simply to prove=only to provedon't always know what they are taking about= don't always talk sense= always talk nonsensetalk nonsense胡说八道talk sense 说正经话Multiple choice questions 多项选择1 .正确答案：Bgo to such lenghths 竭尽全力2 .正确答案：B3 .正确答案：D4 .正确答案:Bbe quite unaware of the fact that. that 引 导同位语从句,在非正式 用法中of the fact可省略5,正确答案：Bmuch多用在疑问句或否定句中，而肯定句中多用a lot;a great dealHe knows a lot about it.He doesn't know much about it.Does he know much about it?6.正确答案：A7.正确答案：A8.正确答案：A9.正确答案：D10.正确答案：D11.正确答案：C12.正确答案：Dtalk nonsense胡说八道talk sense说正经话him to leave, but Dickie paid no attention to him and requested to see the manager.
