　　7. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press.

　　在此期間，編輯等的不耐煩了，因?yàn)殡s志馬上要付印。

　　impatient [im'pei??nt]

　　adj. 焦躁的;不耐心的

　　例句:

　　She is always impatient with her students.

　　她對(duì)自已的學(xué)生總是很不耐煩。

　　語言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:meanwhile強(qiáng)調(diào)兩個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)進(jìn)行。Be getting impatient是用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)強(qiáng)調(diào)前后的情緒變化。For引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句，交代編輯等的不耐煩的原因。

　　語言點(diǎn)2:be impatinet to do sth.意思是“急不可耐地做某事”。

　　例句支持:

　　I am impatient to see you.(=I cannot wait to see you./I am anxious to see you.) 我迫不及待地要見到你。

　　8. He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply.

　　他給記者先后發(fā)去兩份傳真，但對(duì)方毫無反應(yīng)。

　　journalist ['d??:n?list]

　　n. 新聞工作者;報(bào)人;記日志者

　　例句:

　　The journalist challenged the justice of the new law.

　　新聞?dòng)浾呦蜃钚路傻墓蕴魬?zhàn)。

　　語言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:but連接兩個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的句子，強(qiáng)調(diào)“沒有收到任何回應(yīng)”。

　　語言點(diǎn)2:本句中的No為不定代詞，在此處具有形容詞性質(zhì)，作定語，修飾reply。

　　9. He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired.

　　于是他又發(fā)了一份傳真，通知那位記者說，若再不迅速答復(fù)，將被解雇。

　　fired

　　n. 解雇

　　例句:

　　The boss fired his secretary today.

　　老板今天把秘書解雇了。

　　語言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:informing the journalist that…為現(xiàn)在分詞短語，作目的狀語，其用法和第5句中的instructing him to find out…有異曲同工之處。That引導(dǎo)賓語從句，說明informing的內(nèi)容。If引導(dǎo)條件句，表示如不迅速答復(fù)后果會(huì)是什么。句子前面的sent為過去時(shí)，因此后面用did,而非虛擬語氣。

　　語言點(diǎn)2:“yet+another/once/again”表示“又，再”，起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用。

　　例句支持:

　　This led to yet another angry argument. 這又引起了一場唇槍舌劍的爭吵。
