Lesson 68 Persistent 纠缠不休

1. I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me.
我穿过马路以便避开他，但他看到我并朝我跑过来。

to avoid meeting him,避免碰上他，这是动词后面用动名词作宾语的结构。本课下文中出现的 enjoy,fancy, mind,finish等动词，也是只接动名词作宾语的动词。

came running towards me,向我跑来，running是现在分词，作状语，表示状况。

2. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes.
若再装作没看见他已是没有用了，我只好向他招手。我就怕遇到奈杰尔·戴克斯

It was no use pretending,装作……是没有用了。在这句话中， it是先行词，实际上主语是动名词短 pretending that I had not seen him.

3. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you.
他从来都是无事可做，不管你多忙，他总是坚持要跟你去。

No matter how busy you are,不管你有多忙。这是一个让步状语从句， no matter常与 how, when, where, what, who等引导的从句相连，可译成“无论”。

例如：No matter where you go, you can't forget your home.
无论你到哪里，都无法忘记自己的家。

No matter what I say, I seem to say the wrong thing.
无论我说什么，都似乎说得不当。

4. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.
我得想办法不让他整个上午缠着我。

think of在这里的含义是“想出”， way在这里表示“办法”， a way of后面的部分用于修饰 way。prevent表示“阻止／制止”时其常用结构为 prevent sb. from doing sth., from可以省略：
I can't prevent you from going if you want to.
你如果想去，我无法阻止。

5．‘Hello, Nigel,’I said.‘Fancy meeting you here!’
“你好，奈杰尔，想不到在这儿见到你。”我说。

“fancy + 动名词、名词”结构一般用于口语（英），且不带主语：

Fancy meeting so many friends here!
Fancy her saying such rude things!
Fancy that ! 那真想不到！

6．‘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?’
“你好，伊丽莎白，”奈杰尔回答说，“我正不知道怎么消磨这一上午呢，正好见到你。你不忙，是吗？”
You're not busy doing anything, are you? 这是一个附加疑问句，又称反意疑问句，是由陈述句后面加简略疑问句构成。陈述句如果是肯定的，则附加疑问句通常用否定形式；陈述句如果是否定的，则附加的疑问句用肯定形式。陈述句中有助动词时，附加疑问句重复其中的助动词；如果没有，则用do的各种形式构成：
John was angry, wasn't he?
约翰生气了，不是吗？（肯定式+否定式）

He hasn't left, has he?
他没走，是吗？（否定式+肯定式）

I can see him, can't I?
我可以见他，不是吗？（情态助动词作助动词）

You like it, don't you?
你喜欢它，不是吗？（没有助动词时加do）

7．‘No, not at all,’I answered.‘I'm going to…’
“不，不忙，我打算去……”我回答。

8．‘Would you mind my coming with you?’he asked, before I had finished speaking.
“我跟你一道去行吗？”没等我说完话他就问道。

（1）Would/ Do you mind…? 是一个用来表示客气的请求或征求意见的结构，其中可以用if引导的从句或动名词结构。表示“同意／不介意”时，用“No, not at all”或“Certainly not”来回答；不同意时往往用一些委婉的说法，如“ I'm sorry, but…”等回答，不用“yes, I do”：

（2）如果动名词的动作执行者与句子的主语不一致时，它前面可以加所有格形容词或宾格代词，作为动名词的逻辑主语（cf. 本课语法）：
I hope you won't mind my staying here.
我希望你不介意我呆在这儿。

9．‘Not at all,’I lied,‘but I'm going to the dentist.’
“没关系，但我准备去牙医那里。”我说了个谎。

10．‘Then I'll come with you,’ he answered.‘There’s always plenty to read in the waiting room!’
“那我也跟你去，候诊室里总有很多东西可供阅读！”他回答。

本课所需掌握的词组：

it is no use…
no matter
insist on
think of a way
prevent…from
follow sb. Around
