Lesson 29 Taxi

1. The ‘taxi’ is a small Swiss aeroplane called a ‘Pilatus Porter’.
a. taxi加引号是因为它不是一辆真正的出租汽车而是飞机。
b. Swiss aeroplane是指瑞士生产的飞机。
c. Called a ‘Pilatus Porter’是个过去分词短语，做aeroplane的定语。在意思上和一个定语从句差不多，即which is called a ‘Pilatus Porter’。一般说来，过去分词短语做定语时要放在所修饰的名词或是代词之后，比如我们课文这里的aeroplane called a ‘Pilatus Porter’。而一个单独的分词做定语时则往往放所修饰的名词或是代词的前面：
It can land on a ploughed field.它可以在耕过的田里降落。
He landed in a deserted car park.他降落在了一个废弃的停车场上。

2．The most surprising thing about it,however, is that it can land anywhere:on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field.
句子解释参看：自学导读P171三点。
Land
1.着陆; 登陆；卸货
The plane will land in five minutes.
飞机将在五分钟后降落。
The pilot landed the plane.
飞行员将飞机着陆。
The ship landed the goods at Shanghai.
船在上海卸货
We landed safety.
我们安全着陆了。
2. 陷入；落入；处于某种状态
That will land him in prison.
那会使他入狱的。
The ball landed in the lake.
球落入湖中。
3. 打
He landed a blow in my eyes.
他朝我眼睛打了一拳。

Lonely
1．孤单的，寂寞的
The old man led a lonely life after his wife died.
妻子去世后，老人过着孤单的生活。
The lonely old man worked his life away like a work horse.
这个孤独的老人像牛马一样辛苦地干了一辈子,一直干到死。
2．无人烟的，荒凉的
The honest villagers came from a lonely village.
这些淳朴的乡民来自于一个偏远的乡村。
3．alone 单独的
He lives alone in the flat but he never feels lonely.
他孤身一人住公寓，但是从来不感到寂寞。

Alone和lonely的区别：
1． Alone是副词，修饰动词。而lonely是形容词，多用来修饰名词。
2． Alone表示一种“单独”的状态，没有感情色彩。而lonely是指因为alone（单独一人）而不开心，有感情色彩。
I just wanted to stay at home alone.
Keep me alone.
I feel lonely living away from home.
A lonely old man
那如果一个地方是lonely的话，比如课文中a lonely village，也就是说这个地方给你带来的感觉是lonely（因孤独而不开心的）的，所以课文中将lonely翻译为偏僻的，人迹罕至的。主要就是说明“人少”这个概念的。

Block
1．大楼；大厦
an office block 办公大楼
2．街区，一块地方
Turn left after 2 blocks.
走过两个街区后往左拐。
3．障碍物；阻塞
a block in the pipes 管道阻塞
a road block 路障
Recently the professor often has a memory block.
近来教授常常出现记忆不起的情况。
4．封锁，堵塞
The police have blocked the road.
警察已经封锁了道路。
My nose is all blocked up and I can hardly breathe.
我鼻子塞了,气都透不过来
Flat
首先是公寓房的意思，也就是我们现在很多人居住的公房。比如两室一厅或是三室二厅的一套房子就是一个flat了。

1． 平的，单调的，没有成绩的，跑了气的
The earth is round, not flat.
地球是圆的，不是平的。
The lesson is too flat to attract any student.
课太单调，吸引不了学生。
The company has a flat sale this month.
公司这个月的销售业绩不理想。
He was late again because the flat tire.
车胎瘪了，所以他又迟到了。
2． fall flat 一败涂地，完全失败
flat out 全力以赴
Although he drove flat out, he fell flat in the race.
尽管他在赛车中全力以赴，还是一败涂地。

课文中a block of flats这里必须提一下：
首先看block，做名词我们必须记住至少意思：大楼、大块、街区。
A block of ice（一块冰）
It’s three blocks to the store form here.3个街区，也就是要过3条马路。
Block of flats的用法：
Flat刚刚讲过有一套公寓房的意思，这里flat用复数，表示好多这种房子，这种公寓房组成一个block，也就是组合在一块，现在大家明白了吧，block of flats实际上就是我们常说的一幢公寓楼，里面有很多的flat，外边看起来是个四四方方的block。

Block of flats指“公寓楼”这是英国英语的说法，美国说成是：apartment building。这点需要大家注意，其中flat（英国用法）和apartment（美语用法）是对应的，都是指“公寓房”的意思。这在我们分析英美英语不同用法时，是常用的例证。

Desert
1． 名词：沙漠 the Sahara Desert 撒哈拉大沙漠
2． 形容词：荒凉的 a desert island 荒岛
3． 动词：遗弃
They deserted all their arms when running away.
他们逃跑的时候把所有的武器都丢了。
A deserted garage 废弃的车库

1．Occasion 表示“场合，情况”的时候与介词on搭配

2．a strange request from a businessman
这个名词短语带有两个定语：一个前置定语strange，一个
后置定语from a businessman 理解的时候按照汉语的习惯
都成前置定语：（一个商人提出的）（奇怪的）要求。
英语中定语的基本规则：单个的词做前置定语、
短语或从句做后置定语。
例如：a man （with long hair ）（介词短语）
（留长发的）男人
a car （damaged in a storm）（过去分词短语）

a plane （flying in the sky）（现在分词短语）
