What did the man in this story do?
When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload a number of wooden boxes which contained clothing. No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. It suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box. He was astonished at what he found. A man was lying in the box on top of a pile of woolen goods. He was so surprised at being discovered that he did not even try to run away. After he was arrested, the man admitted hiding in the box before the plane left London. He had had a long and uncomfortable trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box for over eighteen hours. The man was ordered to pay $3,500 for the cost of the trip. The normal price of a ticket is $2,000!

【課文講解】
同位語從句
重點:
It suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box.
Text
occur to sb
it occur to sb to do sth/that...
clothing/clothes
clothing 在分類時強調(diào)衣服這一種類
clothes 表示"衣服"的單數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式, 表示許多衣服
No one could...
No one knows... 沒有人知道
account for = explain, 但也有區(qū)別, account 的解釋必須是令人滿意的, 而explain 卻只要是一個解釋就行
account [E5kaunt] n.計算, 帳目, 說明, 估計, 理由 vi.說明, 總計有, 認為, 得分 vt.認為
give the explanation
一個句子跟在一個名詞后,可以是: 1.定語從句; 2.同位語從句
My friend Lucy: 同位語
I know the fact that he doesn't know.
I do know the fact that he doesn't know.
區(qū)別:
1.同位語從句后的that是起解釋說明的作用, 而定語從句是起修飾作用
2.that在從句中做主語或賓語成分,則是定語從句; that在從句中不能做主語或賓語成分,則是同位語從句
be astonished at : 對什么感到吃驚用介詞 “at”
be surprised at
what = the thing that...

so...that... 如此...以致于
admit doing sth
