第87课A perfect alibi 极好的不在犯罪现场的证据

1.A perfect alibi 极好的不在犯罪现场的证据

alibi为法律用语，含义是“不在场证明”、“当时不在场的申辩”，是可数名词：He has an alibi/alibis for that night.他有那天晚上不在场的证据。2.At the time the murder was committed, I was travelling on the 8 o'clocktrain to London.

(1)at the time意为at the moment when something happened。

(2)the murder was committed可以看作是定语从句修饰time, 而如果前面的词如果是the time, the moment, the way等做先行词的时候，后面的关系副词是可以省略掉的。

commit vt.

犯（罪），做（错事、坏事等）；

A murder was committed at 8 o'clockthis morning.

今天早上8点钟发生了一起凶杀案。

另外给大家两个短语：

commit a murder 犯谋杀罪commit suicide 自杀

3.catch a train 乘火车，相同的用法还有catch a bus

If we come here 10 minutes earlier will catch the train(bus). 如果我们能早到10分钟我们就能赶上火车(汽车).

顺便给大家说一下catch you later这个短语，意思是再见的意思！
