老猴子学习交流 A thirsty ghost 嗜酒的鬼魂
A public house which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr. Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.
伊恩·汤普森先生最近才买的一个小酒店现在又要卖出去。汤普森先生之所以想卖它，是因为那里常闹鬼。他告诉我有天夜里他怎么也睡
不着，因为他听到酒吧里传来一阵奇怪的响声。第二天早上，他发现酒吧间的门被椅子堵上了，家具也被挪动过。虽然汤普森临睡觉时把灯关了，但早晨灯却都亮着。他还说他发现了5只空的威士忌瓶子，肯定是鬼魂昨天晚上喝的。当我暗示说一定是村里有些人来喝不花钱的酒时，汤普森先生摇了摇头。村里的人已经告诉他，即使他把小酒店白送人，他们也不要。
1. A public house which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up for sale. sell (sold, sold) v. buy (bought, bought) sale n. be on sale 1)
sales (pl.) 2) (Am.)
eg. The new type of computer is on sale. 有两层含义：
for sale （通常由物主或代理人经手） eg. I’m sorry. The painting is not for sale. eg. The haunted house is for sale. be up for sale
be up for
eg. This problem is up for discussion.
2. Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted. is going to（将来时）
3. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar.
He told me that… that引导宾语从句，告诉told的内容。 coming from the bar现在分词短语作宾语补足语 1) go to sleep fall sleep
fall into a sound sleep /fall into a deep sleep go to bed
2) see/hear/watch后可以加动词原形,也可以加ing形式。用动词原形表示看见或听见整个动作的全部过程，用ing形式时，表示动作正在进行，看见或听见整个动作的一部分。 eg. I saw him cross the street. eg. I saw him crossing the street. eg. I heard her go out. eg. I heard her going out.
eg. I watched her go out of the room. eg. I watched her going out of the room.
有相同用法的词：hear, see, watch, feel , notice等
4. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. the next morning → the following morning the next day → the following day
that the doors had…… been moved 为宾语从句 had been blocked过去完成时的被动语态
5. Though Mr. Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. though引导让步状语从句
though / although/ even though/ even if/ no matter +wh-...都可以引导让步状语从句 turn the lights off turn the lights on they were on they were out
6. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before.
which引导定语从句修饰bottles，从句如果成句是：The ghost must have drunk five empty whisky bottles. 而鬼魂喝的是酒，因此句子中的5个瓶子指的是5瓶酒。这是一种借喻的修辞方法。 the night before last night
the week before last week the day before yesterday the next day tomorrow
直接引语变成间接引语时间状语要改变。now——>then，last night——>the night before，two days ago——>two days before/earlier，today——>that day，tonight——>that night，tomorrow——>the next/following day，last night——>the night before等。
7. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr. Thompson shook his head. that引导宾语从句
must have done… 表示对发生完的事情比较有把握的判断. for+n. 表某人的目的 eg. He went home for lunch. for + v.-ing 表某物的用途 eg. The cake is for eating. free（无比较级）
eg. I’ve got free tickets to the concert. Do you want one?
eg. You’ll get a free gift of a glass if you buy this whiskey now. duty-free
8. … Mr. Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him that
they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away. even if/ even though引导让步状语从句
eg. Even if you don’t like wine, try a glass of this. (even if表让步)
比较if引导的条件句
eg. If you like wine, try a glass of this. (if 表示条件) give away 1)
eg. Even if he give it away.
eg. He gave all his lands away to the city. 2)
eg. He is sure to give away your secret. give off
eg. Those wild flowers give off a nice smell. give in
eg：The mother gave in and bought a toy for her child. give out give out handbills give up
eg. You shouldn’t give up hope.
