**Lesson 7: Too late 为时太晚**

The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!

**参考译文**：飞机晚点了，侦探们在机场等了整整一个上午。他们正在期待一个来自南非的装着钻石的贵重包裹。几个小时前，有人告诉警方小偷会试图偷走这些钻石。当飞机到达时，一些侦探在主楼内等候，而另一些则在机场等候。两个人把包裹从飞机上拿下来，搬进了海关。当两个侦探在门口守卫时，另外两个打开了包裹。令他们惊讶的是，这个珍贵的包裹里装满了石头和沙子！

四、本课语法重点总结

4.1 核心语法点

1. 过去进行时 (Past Continuous)

定义：表示过去某一时刻或某一段时间内正在进行的动作。

结构：was/were + doing

本课例句：

The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning.
They were expecting a valuable parcel…
Some detectives were waiting inside the main building…

使用场景：

描述过去某时的背景 (was/were waiting)
表示过去持续的动作 (all morning)

2. 过去完成时 (Past Perfect)

定义：表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成的动作，即”过去的过去”。

结构：had + done

本课例句：

A few hours earlier, someone had told the police…

时间参照：以课文叙述时间（飞机晚点、侦探等候）为参照，“报警”发生在更早的过去。

3. 时间状语从句 (Time Adverbial Clauses)

When 从句：

When the plane arrived, some detectives were waiting…
从句用一般过去时，主句用过去进行时

While 从句：

While two detectives were keeping guard…, two others opened…

4. 并列结构

some… while others… (一些…而另一些…)

some of the detectives were waiting inside… while others were waiting on…

4.2 难句解析

难句：A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds.

结构拆解：

[A few hours earlier],                     ← 时间状语（相对于过去）
    someone                                ← 主语
    had told                               ← 谓语（过去完成时）
    the police                             ← 间接宾语
    [that thieves would try to steal the diamonds]  ← that宾语从句（直接宾语）
        thieves                            ← 从句主语
        would try                          ← 从句谓语（过去将来时）
        to steal the diamonds              ← 不定式作宾语

语法难点：

过去完成时 had told 表示在”侦探等候”之前发生的动作
过去将来时 would try 表示从过去看将要发生的动作
tell 的双宾语结构：tell sb. sth. / tell sb. that…

中文翻译：几个小时前，有人告诉警方小偷会试图偷走这些钻石。
