　　Lesson 58: blessing in disguise? 是因祸得福吗?

　　The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!

　　本文语法：复习被动语态

　　(请参考Lesson 10、Lesson34的语法讲解)

　　5、Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims.

　　很多村民相信这棵树已经害了很多人。

　　语言点 victim—词主要是表示因为疾病和意外事件被夺走生命的受害者。在此文中是说因为摘树叶、在树上刻写名字而遭到了报应的人。真題测试测试语言点：宾语从句

　　When you answer questions in a job interview, please remember the golden rule: Always give

　　the monkey exactly he wants. (2002 年高考上海卷，第 38 题)

　　A. what B. which C. when D. that

　　答案：选A

　　分析：这是一个宾语从句，wants后面缺少宾语，所以要填what。Always give the monkey exactly what he wants.是一句读语，意思是：永远给予某人他确实想要的东西。

　　翻译：当你在找工作回答面试问题时，请记住这条黄金定律：永远给予对方他想要的东西。
