Dan Robinson has been worried all week. Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried anymore. At the station, he wastold by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by train. Dan was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too, because he never expected thebicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Dan was a boy of fifteen!

精讲笔记：

7. It is now being sent to his home by train.

现在正用火车给他运回家来。

语言点 be being sent现在实行时的被动语态。

8. Dan was most surprised when he heard the news.

当丹听到这个消息时惊奇万分。

语言点与情感相关的动词一般既可用于主动语态，又可用于被动语态：

1) sb.be done (动词的过去分词谋人被……/某人感到……

2) sth +动词+ sb.某物使某人

与情感相关的动词有：

amuse使娱乐；surprise使惊奇；worry担心，使烦恼

please喜欢，使高兴；satisfy使满意；frighten害怕，使惊恐

astonish使惊讶；annoy使烦恼；upset使心烦；dismay使沮丧

terrify 使恐怖；infuriate激怒；interest使感兴趣；delight 使快乐；excite使兴奋

9、He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found.

他又感到非常好笑，因为他从未指望那辆自行车还能被找到。

语言点 expect sth. to be done意为“期待着某事情被完成”。原句中the bicycle是expected的宾语，不定式to be found是宾语补足语。

10、It was stolen twenty years ago when Dan was a boy of fifteen!

它是20年前丹还是一个15岁的孩子时被人偷走的！

语言点1 本句中when引导时间状语从句。

语言点2 a boy of fifteen是一个典型的年龄表达法，请参考Lesson 7课文分析
