新概念英語第二冊逐句精講語言點 第68課(2)

　　Lesson 68: Persistent 糾纏不休

　　I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no usepretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

　　"Hello, Nigel," I said. "Fancy meeting you here!"

　　"Hi, Elizabeth," Nigel answered. "I was just wondering how to spend the morning -- until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you?"

　　"No, not at all," I answered. "I'm going to..."

　　"Would you mind my coming with you?" he asked, before I had finished speaking.

　　"Not at all," I lied, "but I"m going to the dentist."

　　"Then I'll come with you," he answered. "There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!

　　句子講解：

　　4、He never has anything to do.

　　真題測試 測試語言點：insist的從句用虛擬語氣

　　Mike’s uncle insists( ) in this hotel. (2000 年 1 月 CET4,第 52 題)

　　A. staying not B. not to stay

　　C. that he would not stay D. that he not stay

　　答案：選D

　　分析：insist意為“堅決主張，堅持”，接從句時，其謂語動詞應(yīng)用虛擬語氣，IP "should + 動詞原形”，should可省略。因此選D

　　翻譯：邁克的叔叔堅持主張他不住在這家旅館里。

　　6、I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

　　我得想辦法不讓他一整個上午都纏著我。

　　7、"Hello, Nigel," I said. "Fancy meeting you here!"

　　“你好，奈杰爾，想不到會在這里碰到你。”我說。

　　語言點 fency doing意思是“做……真是讓人感到太不可思”,表示驚訝。此句還可改為：Imagine meeting you here!
