课文详注 Further notes on the text
1.happen to,发生在……身上。
What happened to you yesterday?
你昨天出什么事了?
2.a friend of mine,我的朋友之一。
相当于one of my friends,但前者比后者显得更为亲切。
3.After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room. 他们进到屋里后,走进了饭厅。
After they had entered the house 是时间状语从句,had entered 是过去完成时结构。在以after引导的时间状语从句中,用一般过去时或过去完成时没有多少差别。如果强调从句的谓语动作在主句的谓语动作之前完成,就用过去完成时。
4.turn on, 打开,拧开(电视、水源、煤气等)。
其反义词为 turn off(关上)。
语法 Grammar in use
过去完成时
构成: had +过去分词。
过去完成时主要用于表示两个事件中一个发生在前,或者说是表示较早的过去。常与现在完成时连用的副词,如 already(已经), ever(曾经),for +表示时间段的词,just(刚刚)和never(从未)也常与过去完成时连用,以强调事件发生的先后次序。有时我们不一定非得用过去完成时表示先发生的事件,因为意思十分清楚,如:
After I finished ,I went home.
我做完后就回家了。
请看例句:
She went on holiday after she had taken the exam.
她考试后度假去了。
I ran to the platform quickly, but the train had already left.
我赶快跑到站台上,但是火车已经开走了。
We had had dinner before they arrived.
他们到达之前我们就已吃饭了。
The patient had died when the doctor arrived.
大夫到达时病人已经死了。
