二、课文分析

3

Page 55 Para. 1

1、Bob Sugg read only certain bits of the papers he sold. Robberies, killings,

and things like that. And that was funny, too, because he didn’t’t like crime and meant to stop it whenever he could.在鲍勃·萨格所卖的几种报纸里，他只读内容不多的某些部分。抢劫、谋杀以及类似的部分。这事说来也怪，因为他其实讨厌犯罪，而且，只要办得到，随时都会阻止犯罪行为。

A. mean （meant, meant）to do sth. = intend to do 打算做某事

mean doing sth. 意思是，意味着

e.g. I meant to ring you but I am afraid I forgot. 我打算给你打电话，可是给忘了。

e.g. I’m sorry I didn’t’t mean to be rude. 对不起，我并不是故意对人无理的。

e.g. Missing the train means waiting for another day.

2. Already in his free time he had helped catch several wrongdoers. 而且在他有空的时候，已经帮助抓了好几个做坏事的人。 A. free time 空余时间

B. help catch 动词help 后面的宾语可以接不定式，这时不定式也可以省略，其宾语补足语接不定式用法也是这样，即：help sb. (to)do sth. Page 55 Para. 2

3.、Bob’s favorite part of the newspaper was the page of personal advertisements. The one he was reading right now said: “Remember Aunt Mary on next Sunday. Quarrel upsetting all. Report evening 25th. N.E. Cross.”

鲍勃最喜欢的报纸版面就是登载个人信息、广告的副页。他正读着的那版上写着：“下星期日别忘了给玛丽姨妈送礼。吵架破坏了大家的心情。25日晚报到。N.E克罗斯。”

4

A 报刊登广告都是按字数收费 ，所以有很多省略 现象。因此没必要在广告上面留下多余的字眼。这则广告就显然有问题。 B remember sb.给某人礼物，给某人送钱 ，给小费等。 Page 55 Para. 3

4. “That’s a funny one,”Bob thought. He reread the notice. Why pay more money to say “on next Sunday”when“next Sunday”would have been enough? “这条启事有点蹊跷，”鲍勃想着。他反复读着这条启事。干嘛要多花钱再写进一个字“在下星期日”？写“下星期日”本来就够了。 A reread 重读，再读（看） B when 既然

C would have been 本来就?..

5.“Cross. Cross.”Bob felt sure he had come upon that name in the personals before. But he didn’t remember those initials. What did N. E. stand for?

“克罗斯??克罗斯??”鲍勃确信他曾在登载个人信息与广告的副页里见过这个名字。但是他不记得那些首字母“N.E.”。N. E.这两个字母代表哪两个词呢？

A felt sure 动词原形为 feel sure:觉得有把握，确信 B come upon ? 1. 突然产生

A good idea came upon me. 我突然想到一个好主意。 ? 2. 偶然遇到

I came upon her in the bank last week. 我上星期在银行碰巧遇到她。 ? 3. 降临

Fear came upon him as he waited. 他在等待时感到一阵恐惧。 ? 4偶遇

5

I've come upon the word several times. 这个单词我已经碰到好几次了。

C. personals 指刊登个人信息与广告的栏目 D stand for 是?的简称/缩写，代表 e.g. N.Z. stands for New Zealand. 字母N.Z.代表新西兰。

e.g. CEO stands for Chief Executive Officer. 字母CEO是首席执行官的缩写。 Page 56 Para. 4

6.For some reason that advertisement haunted Bob Sugg. Here was a mystery he wanted

to solve. 不知为什么，那则启事时时萦绕在鲍勃·萨格的心头，他想解开这个谜。

A .for some reason 由于某种原因

B haunt 经常出现，为?而忧心时常萦绕心头，使困窘；常去；以鬼魂形式出现；时常

出现在，弥漫

e.g. Clare was haunted by the fear that war might soon break out. 战争有可能很快就爆发，克莱尔提心吊胆。

ｅ．ｇ．The decision to leave her children now haunts her...

抛下孩子们的决定现在总让她不安。

ｅ．ｇ． The college library is a favorite haunt

大学图书馆是人们喜欢的地方。

C he wanted to solve 定语从句 修饰 mystery D mystery 迷 Page 56 Para 5

6

B catch one’s eye 引人注目

他快速浏览了这则新闻。几分钟之后，管理报纸档案的职员看见一个神情激动的男孩子跑进了他的办公室。“先生，让我看看过期的报纸好吗？”男孩问道。那个职员指了指一个宽的书架。鲍勃拿起报纸认真地读了起来。 A in charge of 负责

B excited boy 感到兴奋的男孩 C number files 过期的报纸 D intently 专心的，专注的 E motion 示意

向...打手势;向...摇(或点)头示意[O][O2]

The teacher motioned his students to be silent. 老师示意学生不要讲话。 动作,姿态;手势,眼色[C]

All her motions were graceful. 她的一举一动都很优美。 动机,意向[U]

He did that of his own motion. 他出于自愿做了那事。 Page 56 Para. 6

9、“Look! These two personals,”Bob was breathless with excitement.“They appeared

on different dates, but it’s the same advertiser, Cross.” “看！这两条私人信息启事，”鲍勃激动得喘不过气来。“这两则启事在不同的时间刊

登出来，但刊登者却是同一个人，克罗斯。

today, my name’s not Bob Sugg.”The next moment he was gone. “好吧，”鲍勃说道，“不出今天，要是警长不问你这个问题，我就不叫鲍勃·萨格。”

他说完这句话就走了。

and before that, S. W. Cross. ‘Remember Aunt Mary on next Sunday. Quarrel upsetting all. Report evening 25th.’ Mr. Hamelin, the first letters of the words spell ‘Ramon Square.’”

这回，窃贼叫N.E克罗斯。上回，叫W.克罗斯，再上一回叫S.W克罗斯。‘下星期日别忘了给玛丽姨妈送礼。吵架破坏了大家的心情。25日晚报到。’哈默林先生，这些单词的首字母拼在一起就是‘Ramon Square拉蒙广场’。” Page 57 Para. 12
