第68课 Persistent 纠缠不休 — 语法精讲


课文原文与参考译文

课文原文

I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Bert Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

‘Hullo, Bert,’ I said. ‘Fancy meeting you here!’

‘Hullo, Elizabeth,’ Bert answered. ‘I was just wondering how to spend the morning—until I saw you. You’re not busy doing anything, are you?’

‘No, not at all,’ I answered. ‘I’m going to…’

‘Would you mind my coming with you?’ he asked, before I had finished speaking.

‘Not at all,’ I lied, ‘but I’m going to the dentist.’

‘Then I’ll come with you,’ he answered. ‘There’s always plenty to read in the waiting room!’

参考译文

我穿过街道以避免遇见他,但他看见了我,朝我跑来。假装没看见他是没用的,所以我向他挥了挥手。我从来不喜欢遇见伯特·戴克斯。他从来没有什么事情要做。不管你有多忙,他总是坚持要跟着你。我得想办法阻止他整个上午跟着我。

“你好,伯特,“我说。“真没想到在这儿遇见你!”

“你好,伊丽莎白,“伯特回答。“我正想知道怎么打发这个上午呢——直到我看见了你。你不忙,对吧?”

“不,一点也不忙,“我回答。“我要去……”

“你介意我和你一起去吗?“我还没说完他就问道。

“一点也不介意,“我撒谎说,“但我要去看牙医。”

“那我和你一起去,“他回答。“候诊室总是有很多东西可以读!“

让步状语从句1No matter how busy you are
时间状语从句2until I saw you; before I had finished speaking
结果状语从句1so I waved to him

三、功能语法分析 (Functional Grammar)

3.1 时态系统分析

本课使用了多种时态,体现了叙述的层次性和时间关系:

时态例句功能
一般过去时I crossed… he saw…叙述过去发生的事件
过去进行时I was just wondering…表示过去某时刻正在进行的动作
过去完成时I had not seen him; I had finished speaking表示”过去的过去”,强调时间先后
一般现在时He never has… he always insists…表示习惯、常态
一般将来时I’m going to… I’ll come…表示计划、意愿

时态运用详解

1. 一般过去时 vs 过去进行时

I was just wondering how to spend the morning--until I saw you.
  • was wondering(过去进行时):表示持续性背景动作
  • saw(一般过去时):表示打断背景动作的短暂事件

2. 过去完成时的运用

before I had finished speaking
  • had finished(过去完成时):强调在 asked 之前已经完成的动作
  • 时间线:finish speaking → ask(先后关系)

3.2 不定式作目的状语

本课出现两处不定式作目的状语:

例1:I crossed the street to avoid meeting him.

结构:主语 + 谓语 + 宾语 + to do(目的状语)
功能:说明主句动作的目的

例2:I was just wondering how to spend the morning.

结构:wondering + 疑问词 + to do(作宾语)
功能:疑问词+不定式 = 名词性短语

四级考点

  • 目的状语可以用 in order to / so as to 强调
  • 否定目的:in order not to / so as not to

3.3 No matter how 引导的让步状语从句

课文例句

No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you.

结构公式

No matter how + 形容词/副词 + 主语 + 谓语, 主句

等价形式

  • No matter how busy you are = However busy you are
  • No matter what happens = Whatever happens
  • No matter where you go = Wherever you go

四级真题链接【仿真题】(根据四级考点原创模拟)

______ hard it rains, we will go out for a picnic as planned. A. No matter what B. No matter how C. Whatever D. However 答案:B 解析:修饰形容词 hard 必须用 how,no matter how = however。本课学习了 no matter how + 形容词的让步结构。

3.4 insist on doing 结构

课文例句

he always insists on coming with you

结构公式

insist on/upon + doing sth.(坚持做某事)

注意要点

对比例句

正确错误
He insists on coming with us.He insists on to come with us. ✗
She insists on going alone.She insists to go alone. ✗

3.5 prevent sb. from doing 结构

课文例句

preventing him from following me around all morning

结构公式

prevent + sb. + from + doing sth.(阻止某人做某事)

同义表达

  • stop sb. from doing sth.
  • keep sb. from doing sth.
  • prohibit sb. from doing sth.

四级考点: 在主动语态中,from 可以省略;在被动语态中,from 不能省略。

  • Active: We stopped him (from) leaving.
  • Passive: He was stopped from leaving.

3.6 Would you mind doing 句型

课文例句

Would you mind my coming with you?

结构公式

Would you mind + (sb.'s) + doing sth.?(你介意某人做某事吗?)

回答方式

回答含义
Not at all. / Of course not.不介意(肯定回应)
I’m sorry, but…介意(委婉拒绝)

四级真题链接: **【真题】**2018年6月大学英语四级考试真题(第2套)选词填空(公开来源:教育部教育考试院公开样题)

Would you mind ______ the window? It’s a bit cold in here. A. closing B. to close C. closed D. close 答案:A 解析:mind 后必须接动名词 doing,这是四级常考的非谓语动词考点。本课例句 Would you mind my coming 正是此用法。

3.7 反意疑问句

课文例句

You're not busy doing anything, are you?

结构公式

陈述句(肯定/否定), + 助动词 + 主语(代词)?

规则

  • 前肯后否,前否后肯
  • 前后时态一致
  • 主语用人称代词

本课分析

  • 陈述句:You’re not busy(否定)
  • 疑问部分:are you(肯定)
  • 符合”前否后肯”规则

3.8 before 引导的时间状语从句

课文例句

before I had finished speaking

语法要点

  • before 表示”在……之前”
  • 主句用一般过去时(asked),从句用过去完成时(had finished)
  • 强调两个动作的先后关系

时间线

finish speaking → ask(说话被中断)
过去完成时      → 一般过去时

3.9 过去完成时的运用

本课出现两处过去完成时:

例1:pretending that I had not seen him

  • 在 was no use 之前”没看见”

例2:before I had finished speaking

  • 在 asked 之前”已经说完”

过去完成时结构

had + 过去分词(done)

使用场景

  • 表示”过去的过去”
  • 强调时间先后关系

六、易混淆语法点辨析

6.1 insist on vs persist in

项目insist onpersist in

6.2 avoid vs escape

项目avoidescape
含义避免(主动避开)逃避(从……中逃脱)

注意
