Lesson 65
Jumbo versus the police
小象对警察

First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why did the police have to push Jumbo off the main street?

Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'

参考译文

去年圣诞节，马戏团老板吉米.盖茨决定送些礼物给儿童医院。他打扮成圣诞老人，在由6个漂亮姑娘组成的“仪仗队”的陪同下，骑上一头名叫江伯的小象，沿着城里的主要街道出发了。他本该知道警察绝不会允许这类事情发生。一个警察走过来告诉吉米，他应该走一条小路，因为江泊阻碍了交通。虽然吉米同意马上就走，但江伯却拒绝移动。15个警察不得不用很大的力气把它推离主要街道。警察虽然吃了苦头，但他们还是感到很有趣。“江伯一定有好几吨重，”一个警察事后这样说，“值得庆幸的是它没让我们抬它走。当然，我们应该逮捕它，但由于它一贯表现很好，这次我们饶了它。”

take to : 把...送到

dress up : 打扮

should have done : 原本应该做而没做 : You should have come earlier.

needn't have done : 过去不必做但是做了

ought to : 应该: ought to have done 也表示原本应该做而没做

所有的情态动词+have done都跟过去有关

1、跟虚拟语气有关的 : would have done

2、表示推测句型 : may/must/can't have done

as＝because

hold up the traffic : 阻碍交通

though尽管

agree to do : 同意做某事(to 为不定式 )

agree with sb

agree to (prep)sth

I agree with you. / I agree to your advice. / I agree to go with you.

情态动词+have done一定和过去有关系

1、表示推测的过去 : must/can't/may

2、虚拟语气相连 : would have done

3、should have done : 原本该做但是没做

4、needn't have done : 原本不必做但是做了

【Key structures】关键句型

should(应该)/ought to(应该)/have to

ought to : 应该(强调义务)

have to : 不得不

must表示推测

should应该(含有建议)

【Special difficulties】难点

let sb off : 让某人走 / let sb down : 让某人失望 / let sb in/out : 让某人进来/出去

情态动词如果后面加动词原形,认为跟现在或将来有关,一旦要和过去有关,一定在情态动词后面加have done

【Multiple choice questions】多项选择题

3 Jimmy _______Father Christmas.

(a)seemed as (b)looked like (c)looked as (d)seemed

like的后面加词

like me 象我这样

like London象伦敦一样

seem后面可以直接加形容词

he seemed rich他看起来很富有

seem后面会加to 这个不定式结构

he seemed to be rich

一个句型 : it seemed that...表示某件事情看起来似乎如此

it seemed that he is rich

①seem加形容词 ②加不定式 ③it seemed that句型 ④seem后加as if从句: 看起来似乎

4 He should have known the police wouldn't allow it _______.

He 没做是一个事实,故用He didn't 而不用couldn't

7 _______to carry him?
