Lesson 69: But not murder!并非謀殺!
I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time. I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said. "Just one more thing, Mr.Eames. Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet." I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly, Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly. "Mr.Eames," he said, in a mournful voice, "you have just killed that child!"

真題測(cè)試 測(cè)試語言點(diǎn):非謂語動(dòng)詞
After he became conscious, he remembered( )and ( )on the head with a rod.
(2006年髙考江西卷,第29題)
A. to attack; hit B. to be attacked; to be hit
C. attacking; be hit D. having been attacked; hit
答案:選D
分析:remember to do表示“記著去做”,而remember doing則是“記得做過”。結(jié)合句意 可排除A、B兩項(xiàng)。又因句子主語he與動(dòng)詞attack是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,故應(yīng)選擇D項(xiàng)。
翻譯:蘇醒后,他記起遭到了攻擊并被人用棍子打了$廣
9、Though the sound could be heard dearly, it took me a long time to react.
雖然聲音聽得很清楚,但我過了好一會(huì)兒才反應(yīng)過來。
10、I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward.
我突然用力踩緊剎車踏板,結(jié)果,我們兩個(gè)人的身體都向前沖去。

12、"Mr.Eames," he said, in a mournful voice, "you have just killed that child!"
“埃姆斯先生,”他用悲傷的聲調(diào)說道,“你剛剛把那個(gè)小孩壓死了。”
