新概念英语16-30
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
【课文翻译】
一旦你把汽车停错了地方，交通警很快就会发现。如果他没给你罚单就放你走了，算你走运。然而，情况并不都是这样，交通警有时也很客气。有一次在瑞典度假， 我发现我的车上有这样一个字条：“先生，欢迎您光临我们的城市。此处是‘禁止停车’区。如果您对我们街上的标牌稍加注意，您在此会过得很愉快的。谨此提请 注意。”如果你收到这样的恳求，你是不会不遵照执行的！

traffic n. 交通
ticket n. 交通违规罚款单
note n. 便条
area n. 地段
sign n. 指示牌
reminder n. 提示

请问这里能停车吗？
对于park这个词大家应该都很熟悉了，作名词时可表示公园，庭园，复合词parkland是指有草丛的开阔草地，parkway是指林荫大道。
2 You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket.
如果他没开你罚单就让你走，算你幸运。
这个句子里，let (someone) go是“放开”的意思。
短语扩展：let sb go可表示释放；解雇；松开
let go (of sb/sth) 放开；松手
let it go (at that):不再多说或多做；就到此为止；就那样吧
3 traffic police，即交通警察，police是集合名词，是指警察这一群体，所以后面的谓语动词用复数形式。

4 note [名词]便条，短信
例句：He left a note on my desk.

ve a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!

凡是假设的情况发生性可能很大，就是真实条件句。
例句：If I have time, I will go to Tibet.
如果我有时间，我就会去西藏。
当假设是不大可能实现时，就是虚拟条件句。
例句：If I were you , I would have attended the party.

'I'm very sorry,' he said. 'My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this!'

'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
I went back to the ticket office at once.

《新概念英语》第二册第20课 One man in a boat 独坐孤舟
【课文】
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything--not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!" my friends say. "It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
【课文翻译】
钓鱼是我最喜欢的一项运动。我经常一钓数小时却一无所获，但我从不为此烦恼。有些垂钓者就是不走运，他们往往鱼钓不到，却钓上来些旧靴子和垃圾。我的运气 甚至还不及他们。我什么东西也未钓到过——就连旧靴子也没有。我总是在河上呆上整整一上午，然后空着袋子回家。“你可别再钓鱼了！”我的朋友们说“这是浪费时间。”然而他们没有认识到重要的一点，我并不是真的对钓鱼有兴趣，我感兴趣的只是独坐孤舟，无所事事！
【生词和短语】
catch (caught，caught) v. 抓到
fisherman n. 钓鱼人，渔民
boot n. 靴子
waste n. 浪费
realize v. 意识到
【知识点讲解】
1 Fishing is my favourite sport.
钓鱼是我最喜欢的一项运动。
在这句话中，动名词fishing作主语。
I often fish for hours without catching anything.
我经常一钓数小时却一无所获。
在这句话中，动名词catching作介词without的宾语。
2 worry [动词]（使）担忧，（使）发愁
worry about /over sth
sth worry sb.
例句：She is always worrying about her figure.
她总在为自己的身材担忧。
文中But this does not worry me.就是应用了第二种句型。
worry还可作动词表示骚扰，烦扰。
worry sb. with sth.
例句：It's imoplite to worry neighbours with noise at night.
在晚上制造噪音打扰邻居是不礼貌的。
3 instead of 代替，作为……的替换
其后可接连接宾语（名词
，动名词，介词，副词）
例句：Instead of singing in the KTV, we went to the riverside.
我们没有去KTV唱歌，而是去了河边。
4 After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag.
我总是在河边呆上整整一个上午，然后空着袋子回家。
在这个句子里，作为介词after的宾语，动词spend所表示的动作发生在谓语动词go之前，所以动名词要用完成形式，即having spent。
在这里补充一下动名词的相关知识。
动名词是由“动词原形+ing"构成，比如我们常见的eating，enjoying等。动名词有两种形式，分别是一般式，完成式。其中，一般式表示动名词的动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生或在它后面发生，而完成式则表示动名词的动作发生在谓语动词的动作之前。大家可以看看以下两个句子，然后进行对比。
She is confident of being awarded this scholarship.
她对此次奖学金志在必得。
He was very proud of having been selected as a volunteer for the World Expo.
他很自豪自己入选世博志愿者。
5 realize [动词]理解，领会认识到
例句：We didn't realizing his appearing at first.
起初我们没有注意到他的到来。
realize还可表示实现，将……变为现实
例句：To help realize the dreams of students is one of teachers’ tasks.
帮助学生实现梦想也是教师的职责之一。

《新概念英语》第二册第21课 Mad or not 是不是疯了
【课文】
Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.
【课文翻译】
飞机正在逐渐把我逼疯。我住在一个机场附近，过往飞机日夜不绝于耳。机场是许多年前建的，但由于某种原因当时未能启用。然而去年机场开始使用了。有100 多人肯定是被噪音逼得已经弃家远去，我是少数留下来的人中的一个。有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的飞机撞倒。他们曾向我提供一大笔钱让我搬走，但我决定留在这儿。大家都说我肯定是疯了，也许他们说的是对的。

mad adj. 发疯
reason n.
原因
sum n. 量
determined adj. 坚定的，下决心的
【知识点讲解】

而drive away是赶走，逼走的意思。
例句：They drove away the little dog.

在使用时直接用主动语态，sth come into use。

4 sum [名词]金额，量
通常组成词组a sum of 与money搭配，表示一笔钱。
sum也可作动词，有词组sum up表示总结，囊括，也可表示估量，判断。
例句：He asked for a large sum of money to drive her to the hospital.
他要她出一大笔钱才肯送她去医院。
5 Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise.
有100 多人肯定是被噪音逼得已经弃家远去。
这个句子里，情态动词must+完成时态，是对过去事情的肯定，猜测某事一定已经发生。这种情态动词表猜测的用法在19课也有提到，大家可以结合起来看。
6 but for some reason it could not be used then.
但由于某种原因当时未能启用。
大家可能注意到这篇文章里大量使用了被动语态。被动语态的基本形式是“be+过去分词+（by+动作执行者）。
例句：Mary was elected as the new president of the company.

Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

《新概念英语》第二册第23课 A new house 新居
【课文】
I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.
【课文翻译】
昨天我收到了姐姐的一封信，她住在尼日利亚。在信中她说她明年将到英国来。如果她来了，她会感到非常惊奇了。我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新住宅里。这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了，是在5个月以前竣工的。我在信中告诉她，她可以和我们住在一起。这栋房子里有许多房间，还有一个漂亮的花园。它是一栋非常现代化的住宅，因此在有些人看来很古怪。它肯定是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住宅。
【生词和短语】
complete v. 完成
modern adj. 新式的，与以往不同的
strange adj. 奇怪的

这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了。

I had finished my work when my mother called.
妈妈给我打电话时我的工作已经做完了。

《新概念英语》第二册第24课 不幸中的万幸
【课文】
I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset. 'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!'
【课文翻译】
我走进饭店经理的办公室，坐了下来。我刚刚丢了50英镑，感到非常烦恼。“我把钱放在房间里，”我说，“可现在没有了。”经理深表同情，但却无能为力。“现在大家都在丢钱，”他说。他开始抱怨起这个邪恶的世道来，却被一阵敲门声打断了。一个姑娘走了进来，把一个信封放在了他桌上。它里面装着50英镑。“这是我在这位先生的房门外捡到的，”她说。“是啊，”我对那位经理说，“这世界上还是有诚实可言的！”
【生词和短语】

She was singing happily when we entered the room.
我们进入房间时她正在开心地唱着歌。
2. I had just lost 50 pounds.
我刚丢了50英镑。
这里lost是动词lose的过去式。lost还可作形容词，表示丢失的，既可以作表语，也可以作定语。
My key was lost.
我的钥匙不见了。
3. sympathetic [形容词]同情的；共鸣的
sympathetic的名词形式是sympathy。
People were enormously sympathetic when the old man died.
这位老人去世时人们深表同情。
4. complain [动词]抱怨
侧重因对处境不满、待遇不公或自己有痛苦等而向别人诉说、埋怨。

ining about her working environment to her boyfriend.

他向警察控告小男孩偷了他的钱包。
5. I left the money in my room.
我把钱放在房间里。
left，原形为leave，把...留在...地方
the money，这里的money特指前面的50 pounds，所以加上了定冠词the。
it是指the money（不可数n. 所以此处用单数）
后文的Everyone's losing money these days. 现在大家都在丢钱。这里的money是泛指，所以没有加定冠词the。
6. There is still some honesty in this world.
some少许的，一些
honesty作为抽象名词，要用单数形式。

《新概念英语》第二册第25课 Do the English speak English? 英国人讲的是英语吗？
【课文】
I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?
【课文翻译】
我终于到了伦敦。火车站很大，又黑又暗。我不知道去饭店的路该怎么走，于是向一个搬运工打听。我的英语讲得不但非常认真，而且咬字也非常清楚。然而搬运工却不明白我的话。我把问话重复了很多遍。他终于听懂了。他回答了，但他讲得既不慢也不清楚。“我是个外国人，”我说。于是他说得慢了，可我还是听不懂。我的老师从来不那样讲英语！我和搬运工相视一笑。接着，他说了点什么，这回我听懂了。“您会很快学会英语的！”他说。我感到奇怪。在英国，人们各自说着一种不同的语言。英国人之间相互听得懂，可我却不懂他们的话！他们说的是英语吗？
【生词和短语】
railway n. 铁路
porter n. 搬运工
foreigner n. 外国人

When will you arrive? When will you reach(arrive in) Beijing?

home/there都是副词，副词跟动词连用的时候不需要加介词

经过数月的勘探，他终于发现了金矿。
3 not only...but...as well：不但...而且... 这是一个并列连词，表示什么东西并列连接什么
I can speak Chinese. I can speak English.组合到一句话即为：I can speak not only Chinese but English as well.
类似的句子如：I not only sing but dance as well.
一般来说，not only 喜欢放在动词的前面。遇到实义动词和非实义动词的时候则习惯放在二者之间。I can speak not only Chinese but English as well.
4 neither...nor... 即不...也不...neither单独使用时词性很灵活，可以做代词，表示两者都不；做形容词表示两者都不的；做副词表示也不；做连词时表示既不，也不的意思。
I speak neither Janpanese nor English.
我既不会说英语，也不会说日语。
Neither of my sisters drinks coffee.

《新概念英语》第二册第29课 Taxi 出租汽车
【课文】
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.

5 Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman.
弗西特机长刚刚拒绝了一位商人的奇怪要求。

（2）request作名词时，后可接for，但作及物动词时，后不可接for。例如a request for assistance和He requested assistance；
（3）request作动词时，后不可接宾语和for。
We requested them for assistance.
这个句子是错误，正确的应该是We requested assistance from them.

【课文】
The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home. I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons. It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river. Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat. Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them. The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. I turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight: they had all run away! The man laughed when he realized what had happened. He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank.

威尔河是横穿过我家附近公园的一条小河。我喜欢在天气晴朗的下午到河边坐坐。上星期日天气很暖和。于是我和往常一样，又去河边坐着。河岸上有些孩子正在玩耍，河面上有些人正在划船。突然，一个孩子狠狠地踢了一脚球，球便向着一只划过来的小船飞去。岸上的一些人对着小船上的人高喊，但他没有听见。球重重地打在他身上，使他差点儿落入水中。我转过头去看那些孩子，但一个也不见，全都跑了！当那个人明白了发生的事情时，笑了起来。他大声叫着那些孩子，把球扔
