課文內容：

The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth wouldsee me. I felt very nervous when I went into hisoffice. He did not look up from his desk when Ientered. After I had sat down, he said that businesswas very bad. He told me that the firm could notafford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people hadalready left. I knew that my turn had come. ‘Mr.Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. ‘Don'tinterrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra &100 ayear!

精講筆記：

7.I knew that my turn had come.

我這時明白下一個該輪到我了。

語言點 turn在此為名詞。對比：

1)(口語)Ifs my turn. = I am the next one.該輪到我了。

2)(書面)My turn has come.= My chance / opportunity has come.該輪到我了。

8.‘Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.

“哈姆斯沃斯先生，”我無力地說道。

語言點 in a weak voice用微弱的聲音(由于心虛或虛弱);in a whisper小聲說話，耳語;in a strcmgvoice用有力的聲音;loud voice高聲;low voice低聲

9.‘Don't interrupt,' he said.

“別打斷我的話，”他說。

語言點 Don’t...結構為祈使句，經常表示一種命令：Don’t look at me.別看著我! Don’t cry.不準哭!Don’t say no.別說不!

10.Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra &100 a year!

然后他微笑了一下告訴我，我將得到一年1000千英鎊的額外收入。

語言點1 receive表示客觀上收到，在此并不是馬上給錢，只是個口頭承諾。

語言點2 would為will的過去式，過去說要在將來加錢，因此用過去將來時。

語言點3 extra意為“額外的”，作定語，修飾pounds，表示額外的錢。

1)數(shù)量+ extra / more + 名詞：two extra / more pens

2)數(shù)量+ others：two others

3)another + 數(shù)量 + 名詞：another two pens, another two weeks
