精讲笔记：

4.Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table.

托尼看到我就走了过来，并且和我坐到了同一张桌子前。

语言点1 本句用两个and连接了三个谓语动词，避免重复和啰嗦，使句子更加清晰简洁。

I followed and watched and tried to speak to her.我尾随注视着她，并试图和她说话。

语言点2 sat at the same table坐在同一张桌子旁：sit为不及物动词，需后接一个介词at再接宾语。

My boss is sitting in front of his desk.我的老板正坐在他的办公桌前。

5.He has never borrowed money from me.

他从来没有向我借过钱。

语言点 never常用于完成时中：This smart young lady had never been abroad before.这位漂亮年轻的女士以前从未出过国。

6.While he was eating, I asked him to lend me 2 pounds.

当他用餐的时候，我向他提出借20英镑。

语言点1 在此句中while表示当……时。经常与while发生混淆的词是awhile，表示“片刻，少顷，暂时”。awhile作为副词从不置于介词之后，但介词可放在两个短语成的a while之前，尤其在书面表达中，正确用法为：stayawhile;stay for a while. stay for awhile是错误用法。

语言点2 ask/require/call/demand sb. to do sth.请求某人做某事
