Lesson 44 Through the forest 穿过森林

First listen and then answer the question. 听录音, 然后回答以下问题.

How did Mrs. Sterling get her bag back?

Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs. Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'

参考译文

安.斯特林夫人在穿过森林追赶两个男人时, 她并没有考虑到所冒的风险. 刚才, 当她和孩子们正在森林边上野餐的时候, 这两个人冲到她跟前, 企图抢走她的手提包. 在争抢中, 手提包的带断了, 包落入这两个人手里, 他们拔腿跑进了树林. 斯特林夫人非常气愤, 向着他们追了过去. 只追了一会儿便上气不接下气了, 但她还是继续追赶. 当她赶上他们时, 发现他们已经坐了下来, 正翻着包里的东西. 于是她直冲过去. 这两个人吓了一跳, 扔下提包逃跑了. “这提包带需要修理, “斯特林夫人事后说道, “不过他们什么也没偷走. “

【课文讲解】

Mrs.Anne Sterling did not think of the risk...

take a risk:冒...风险

run after: ① 追赶, ② 追随, ③追求 : The police are running after a thief.

run behind:在某人后面跑: I ran behind him.

run to:跑向

rush up to:迎面冲过来

up:向上,面对面, 与说话人相反方向

down:方向相同, 与说话人相同方向: go down 接着往前走,不用回头

have a picnic 野餐

in one's possession:为某人所拥有…… (给人感觉是这东西本来不属于你)

I went out of the book shop with book in my possesion.

so...that:如此...以致于

continued to do:接着做

catch up with.追上,赶上(强调结果)

contents of the bag:包里的东西

go through:浏览,翻看(速度较快的看)

run (straight) at (at 强调瞄准,一般与straight相连都用at, lesson35也有类似句型)

need用法除lesson41外的又一种情况:

needn't可以回答must开头的疑问句,只能用在肯定句中,可以直接加动词-ing

need doing:需要做,需要被做

① 这里need属于实义动词, 动词ing相当于名词来理解

② 有时态和人称变化,否定式为: don’t need doing

③ need doing 表达被动含义, 如: Your shoes need washing. 你的鞋子需(被)洗了

另外:want doing :也是用主动表示被动含义

它们的主语一定是物, 不是人: Your hair needs cuting.

need to be done---主语是人,也可以是物

总结:

1.never/not think of the risk she was taking

2.with sth.in one's possession

3.need doing
