  'Whatever are you doing up here Bill?' asked the vicar in surprise.

  'I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill. 'I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'

  'You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.'

  That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it."

  We'll get used to that, Bill,' said the vicar. "Thirteen is not as good as one, but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea."

  7.Whatever are you doing up here Bill? asked the vicar in surprise.

  “你究竟在上面干什么,比尔?”牧师惊讶的问。

  语言点1:句子结构分析:这是一个典型的直接引语句式。Up here在此是两个副词连用,意思是“在这儿”。In surprise为方式状语。

  语言点2:whatever常用于疑问句中,用以加强what的语气,表示“究竟什么”。

  例句支持:

  Whatever do you mean? 你究竟是什么意思?

  Whatever did it happen to him? 他究竟发生了什么?

  8.I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill. I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now.You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'

  “我想把这口钟修好,”比尔回答说。“好几个星期了,我天天夜里到钟楼上来。恩,我是想让你大吃一惊。”

  语言点1:句子结构分析:第一句中的be trying to并非一个简单的现在进行时态,它是用现在进行时态强调一个反复做的动作;第二句是用现在完成时have been coming表示一个非专业人士修钟的艰难。

  语言点2:本句中的come up here和第7句中的do up here形成呼应,说明在钟楼上修钟这件事情。

  语言点3:以下动词常用其现在完成进行时形式表示不断重复进行的某个动作(延续性动词):wait,study,learn,live,stand,stay,keep,read,listen,lie,watch。

  例句支持:

  What have you been doing last whole night? 你昨晚一整夜在干什么呢?

  I have been reading this book all night. 我看了一整晚的书。

  9.You certainly did give me a surprise!said the vicar.

  你确实使我大吃一惊。牧师说。

  语言点1:句子结构分析:这个句子为本文的重点语法—强调肯定式修辞格。

  语言点2:certainly是一个非常典型的强调副词,表示“当然,确实”,相当于indeed/surely。但是在回答“同意”时,英式英语常用certainly,美式英语则多用sure/surely。

  例句支持:

  May I use your book? 我能用一下你的书吗?

  Certainly. 当然可以。(英式英语)

  Sure/Surely. 当然可以。(美式英语)

  语言点3:give sb a surprise的意思是“给某人一个惊喜”,take sb by surprise的意思是“使某人大吃一惊”。

  例句支持:

  His sudden resignation took us all by surprise. 他突然辞职,我们都为之愕然。

  10.You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.

  也许同时你把村里所有人都吵醒了。不过,钟又能报时了,我还是很高兴的。

  语言点:句子结构分析:as well放在句尾时相当于too,而且实际表达的效果比too 更好。Still放在句首时,用逗号隔开表示转折,相当于but或者however。

  11.That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it."

  “问题就在这里,牧师,”比尔回答说。“不错,钟是能耗报时了,但是,恐怕每到1点钟,它总要敲13下,对此我已无能为力了。”

  语言点1:句子结构分析:这是一句直接引语,that引导宾语从句,说明afraid的内容。I can do about it前省去了引导词that。

  语言点2:There is nothing I can do about it.I can do nothing about it.

  请特别注意:nothing,anything,something,everything等关系代词之后只能用that引导定语从句。

  12.We'll get used to that, Bill,' said the vicar. "Thirteen is not as good as one, but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea."

  “大家慢慢就习惯了,比尔,”牧师说道。“13下是不如1下好,但总比1下也不敲强。来,咱们下楼去喝杯茶吧。”

  语言点1:get used to表示“习惯做某事”。此句中的that指代钟在凌晨1点敲13下这个事实。

  语言点2:be as good as为形容词原级的肯定比较,意思是“和…一样好”。

  例句支持:

  His little son is good as gold.He has never been as rebellious as other children. 他的小儿子非常乖,从不像别的小孩子那样不听话。

  语言点3:have a cup of tea表示“喝一杯茶”。补充学习关于tea的短语:

  Black tea 红茶

  Green tea 绿茶

  Afternoon tea 下午茶
