The dealer told him that it had just come in, but that he could not be bothered to open it.

古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久，但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。

语言点:句子结构分析:这是一个很有写作创意的句子，told的内容是由but并列连接的两个由that引导的宾语

从句。在这句话中，古董商说了两件事，第一件是货箱

刚到不久（即第一个宾语从句），第二件是他不想打开

（即第二个宾语从句）。

but that he could not be bothered to open it…

that he could not 同前面的that从句一样，是told的宾语。Bother : trouble 打扰

--- I’m not bothered. 我无所谓。

Frank begged him to do so and the dealer reluctantly prised it open.

经弗兰克恳求，古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。

语言点1:to do so指代“打开箱子”，这样写是为了避免用词重复。

语言点2:and在此不可简单地看作并列连词，其作用相当于then,表示“一件事情发生后，又发生了另一件事。”语言点3:prise sth.open的意思是“把某物打开”。

The contents were disappointing.

箱内东西令人失望。

语言点:句子结构分析:这是一个典型的“主系表”结构的简单句。

Apart from an interesting-looking carved dagger, the box was full of crockery, much of it broken.

除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外，货箱内装满陶器，而且大部分都已破碎裂。语言点1:apart from表示“包括在内”的“除了”，并非真正的不包括。
