新概念英語第二冊逐句精講語言點 第59課(1)

　　Lesson 59:In or out? 進來還是出去?

　　Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and dark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.

　　句子講解：

　　1、Our dog，Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark.

　　我家的狗，雷克斯，過去經(jīng)常坐在大門外汪汪叫。

　　語言點 used to do表示過去常常做，現(xiàn)在不再做了。

　　真題測試 測試語言點：would do + until / till...

　　The crazy fans patiently for two hours, and they would wait till the movie star arrived.

　　(2004年髙考重慶卷，第22題) A. were waiting B. had been waiting C. had waited D. would wait

　　答案：選B

　　分析：根據(jù)“they would wait...”可知，他們當時還在等，用過去完成進行時強調(diào)“等待” 這一動作從過去開始，一直延續(xù)到過去，而且還要延續(xù)下去。

　　翻譯：瘋狂的影迷們已經(jīng)耐心地等了兩個小時了，他們還將等下去，一直等到他們喜愛 的影星出現(xiàn)為止。

　　3、As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.
