Lesson 35 Stop thief! 捉贼 结果状语从句 状语从句 Used to

Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. §

used to do 仅用于一般过去。它的疑问句和否定句形式可以使用下面的2种方式。

A short while ago ,however, he became a bus driver and he has not regretted it.

He is finding his new work far more exciting. ^{(远比以前更刺激)宾补,}

find ^{可以用一般现在时态, 也可以用进行时态}

• He is finding his trip very exciting.

* When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car.

铺成故事背景使用过去进行时，突然把这个状态打断一般过去时：过去进行时 + 一般过去时

The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag.

get a fright 吓了一跳 ^{（fright n. 使用搭配get使用）}

• Mrs. Medlock did get a fright then. ^{梅德洛克太太当时确实吓坏了。}
• I get a stage fright. ^{他因害怕而口吃起来。}

As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it.

as = when ^当…时候

While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. ^{车开走的同时，打了停车并打电话}

The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. ^{“…easy to recognize(car)” 因 car 是主语, 所以不能出现在不定式当中}

…and easy to recognize = and the car was easy to recognize ^{(用主动表被动含义)}

如果一个不定式的前面是一个形容词, 如果主句的结局是“系表结构+to”，不定式当中常用主动表被动,在不定式的表达方式当中, 动词的宾语如果刚好是这句话的主语, 这个宾语一定不能出现

• The apple is sweet enough to eat.
• The apple is too sour to eat. ^{(too...to... 太...以至于)}
• The question is easy enough to answer.
• The boy is enough clever to answer the question.^{这个小孩足够聪明以至于能回答这个问题。（the question 不是主语故一定要出现)}
• The clothes are too comfortable to ware. 

Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

• stop the car ^{拦住车子（其他人 stopped the car）}
• the driver stop the car ^主动

such 和so 都可以用于表示程度，但 so 只能作副词和连词，such 则是形容词，因此 so 通常位于形容词、副词之前，而 such 只能位于名词之前。

so ... that.... / such ... that ... 结果状语从句，是一个因果关系。一旦有名词, 就认为形容词修饰的是名词, 前面的词也修饰的是名词，如果名词是可数名词单数才要加a 和an, 反过来如果是可数名词单数, 前面一定要加 a 或 an 。

如果有几个以上的形容词共同修饰一个名词的时候, 冠词放在第一位, 这句话中冠词不放在第一位, 说明 “a” 与 “boy” 有关系, “lazy” 从意思上与 “boy” 有关系, 但从强调点上与 “boy” 没关系, 它的强调点在 “lazy” 上。
