Lesson 57 Can I help you, madam? 您要买什么，夫人？

1. A woman in jeans stood at the window of an expensive shop.
一位穿着牛仔裤的妇女站在一家高档商店的橱窗前。

介词in用来描写某人的穿戴

2. Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window.
她虽然犹豫了片刻，但终于还是走进了商店，要求把陈列在橱窗里的一件衣服拿给她看。

hesitate to do sth
ask to do sth

3. The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress was sold.
接待她的售货员不喜欢她的那副打扮，轻蔑地看了她一眼后，便告诉她那件衣服已经卖出去了。

the way在这里表示“方式”、“样式”，she was dressed为关系从句，修饰the way。

4. The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day.
这位妇女怒气冲冲地走出了商店，决定第二天教训一下那个售货员。

5. She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other.
第二天上午，她又来到这家商店，穿了一件裘皮大衣，一只手拎着一只手提包，另一只手拿着一把长柄伞。

dress, wear & put on

a) dress (1) 表示 “穿衣，给…穿衣”，强调动作：
She dressed her little son.
Get dressed at once.
(2) 表示 “穿着”，强调状态；这时可与wear 互换；通常用于be dressed in的词组中：
She always dresses in / wears black.
He’s not dressed in / wearing his uniform.

b) put on 表示 “穿、戴”，强调动作，后面必须跟穿戴的东西：
Put on your coat and hat, please.

c) wear表示 “穿着，戴着”，强调状态，与be dressed in 相同：
They were wearing dark glasses and old clothes.
He wears an overcoat today.
With + 名词 + 介词短语

这个结构通常在句中作修饰词，说明伴随情况、状态、原因等。with结构中的名词在意义上是它后面短语的主语：

With her son and daughters near her, she looked perfectly happy.
With the bag in their possession, both thieves started running through the trees.

6. After seeking out the rude assistant, she asked for the same dress.
找到那个无礼的售货员后，她还要看昨天的那件衣服。

（1）现在分词结构代替时间状语从句后，保留了连词after。类似的情况如：
Since phoning you this morning, I've changed my plans.
自从今天早上给你打了电话以后，我已改变了计划。
While trying to open the bottle, I cut my hand.
在试图打开瓶子时，我划破了手。

（2）seek sb / sth out为固定短语，表示“找出”、“搜寻出”：
He sought out the thief in the crowd.
他在人群中找出了那个小偷。
Seek him out quickly. I want to speak to him.
快把他找出来。我想和他谈一谈。

（3）ask for表示“要”、“要求”：
I asked for a cup of coffee, but you gave me a cup of tea.
我要的是一杯咖啡，但你却给了我一杯茶。

7. Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time.
那个售货员没有认出她是谁，这一回接待她的态度非常殷勤。

（1）现在分词短语代替一个分句位于句首时，其否定形式是在它前面加上not, without或never等否定词。这些词有时可互换，有时则不可：
Not/Without/Never hesitating for a moment, he ran after the thief.
他没有一丝犹豫便追赶那小偷。
Not being able to open the door, I asked my neighbour for help.
由于开不了门，我便向邻居求援。

（2）像eager, glad, pleased, sorry等描述感觉的形容词作表语时后面往往跟不定式：
They are all eager to come.
他们都急于来。
I'm pleased to work with you.
我很高兴能与你一起工作。

8. With great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it.
费了好大劲几，他爬进橱窗去取那件衣服。这位妇女对那件衣服只看一眼，就说不喜欢。

With + 抽象名词

这个结构在句子中作状语，与该名词的副词形式相同：
with confidence; with pride; with satis

With care, she put the vase on the shelf.
她小心翼翼地把花瓶放在架子上。
He lifted the box with ease/difficulty.
他很轻松地/费劲地举起那箱子。

9. She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.
她开心地迫使那位售货员把橱窗里几乎所有的东西都拿了出来，最后才买下了她最先要看的那一件。

（1）enjoy oneself doing sth.表示“从……中得到乐趣”：
He enjoyed himself making the dog run after beggars.
他让那条狗追逐乞丐，并从中取乐。

（2）make后面的动词不定式不加to（cf．本课词汇学习）
'They made him take the examination again.'
be made to do sth: 'He was made to take the examination again.'

本课所需掌握词组：

hesitate for a moment
seek out
glance at
with great difficulty
the following morning
enjoy oneself
