【Text】
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
参考译文
一旦你把汽车停错了地方, 交通警很快就会发现. 如果他没给你罚单就放你走了, 算你走运. 然而, 情况并不都是这样, 交通警有时也很客气. 有一次在瑞典度假, 我发现我的车上有这样一个字条 : “先生, 欢迎您光临我们的城市. 此处是‘禁止停车’区. 如果您对我们街上的标牌稍加注意, 您在此会过得很愉快的. 谨此提请注意. “如果你收到这样的恳求, 你是不会不遵照执行的!
【课文讲解】
1、If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it.
英语中指每个人/任何人的不定代词通常是one，但在日常会话中，非正式的you更为常用。
One can never know what will happen tomorrow.
一个人永远不会知道明天将会发生什么事。

He is very angry now. He won’t let you go easily.
without a ticket=without giving you a ticket
If 引导的叫条件句, without后面的名词也叫条件
without+n. 如果没有……

3、However, this does not always happen.
however=but 然而，however常常放在句首或句子中都可以，but习惯放在两个句子之间；but转折性语义比较强，however转折语义比较弱
4、During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.'

【Key structures】
条件句（Conditional sentences）
if引导的条件从句指能够发生、可能发生或可能发生过的事件。如果认为将来的事件很可能会发生，那么if从句中要用一般现在时（有时也用其他形式的现在时），主句中用will（或shall）加动词形式或其他形式的将来时。
If he is sleeping,don't wake him up.
条件句的主句中的will表示肯定如此或几乎可以肯定会如此。如果觉得其“肯定”程度达不到使用will的程度，或者如果想表达建议等其他意思，就可以用别的情态助动词来代替will；条件句中的主句还可以用祈使语气等表示请求、建议等。
You can post these letters if you want to.

【Key structures】
情态助动词must
Must译为“必须”，可以表示“必要，命令或强制，邀请，决心，不可推卸的责任”等多处含义。它没有时态和人称变化，通常只用于现在时和将来时。在其他时态时，must的有些含义可以用have to或have got to。这三种形式一般可以互换，但用于第一人称时，have to(have got to)强调客观的要求或外在的原因，must则强调主观的要求或表示说话的人认为自己有权做某事。
have to和have got to往往可以互换，但与always，sometimes等频度副词连用时，用have to往往比用havt got to好。have got to比have to更口语化。
在过去时的句子中, 要用have to 来表示 “必须”，have to可以有任意时态
She will have to… ；She had to… ； She has/I have had to…
have to作为实义动词, 否定式为don't have to；will not have to；didn't have to
在表达“难道你不能不（做……）”时，一般用“Must you…?”，而不用“Do you have to…?”
Must you leave now? 难道你非得现在就走吗？
I’m afraid so. I have to study for an exam.
must可以表示推测，must do表示对现在的推测；must have done表示对过去的推测
He must be mad.
在 I think…/he thinks…的从句中，一定要用事实说话. (不能说成 “I think he must be a fool.” )
must be的否定式为can’t be（不可能）：
Someone’s using the phone, it must be John.
It can’t be John. He promised me he wouldn’t use it today.
【Special Difficulties】

① 作为介词，可以表示“作为”、“以……身份”等

【Key structures】
have的用法
1、have作为助动词构成各种完成时和完成进行时
2、have还可以作完全动词，当作“具有、拥有”讲时，它和have got通常可以互换。have做 “有, 患病” 概念时, 可作为实义动词, 也可作为非实义动词。在英国英语中的疑问句和否定句中have（具有）的用法与be相同，即可以不用助动词do或did；在美国英语中，常用do助动词和have一起构成疑问句和否定句。

I haven’t a pen /a headache.
三种情况have 可以用 have got取代
I have a pen. I have got a pen. “有”

【Text】
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
参考译文
钓鱼是我特别喜爱的一项运动. 我经常一钓数小时却一无所获, 但我从不为此烦恼. 有些垂钓者就是不走运, 他们往往鱼钓不到, 却钓上来些旧靴子和垃圾. 我的运气甚至还不及他们. 我什么东西也未钓到过 -- 就连旧靴子也没有. 我总是在河上呆上整整一上午, 然后空着袋子回家. “你可别再钓鱼了!” 我的朋友们说, “这是浪费时间. “然而他们没有认识到重要的一点, 我并不是真的对钓鱼有兴趣, 我感兴趣的只是独坐孤舟, 无所事事!
【课文讲解】
1、Fishing is my favourite sport.
fishing是一个动名词，由动词+ing组成，动名词可以作主语或宾语，如eating，reading等等
★fish
① n. 鱼（不可数名词），鱼的种类（可数）
There are a lot of fishes(表示种类)in the sea.
② v. 钓鱼, 捕鱼
2、I often fish for hours without catching anything.
for+时间 表示一段时间
for hours=for some hours 数小时
without catching anything作为状语而出现, 表示结果状语。without是介词，后面一定要加宾语, 动名词catching作without的宾语，without 后面的动作是主语来做的。动名词也有动词的特性，可以有自己的宾语。
without通常表示“缺乏、没有”；当它位于动名词前时，表示“不曾、不”
I can’t repair the car without your help.
They tried to leave the restaurant without paying.
He went out without saying any words.
3、But this does not worry me.
★worry
① v. 烦恼，担扰
worry sb. 某人为……烦恼，担扰（作动词一定要加人作宾语, 翻译时从后往前翻，宾语担心）
The house worried me. / My daughter worried me.
① adj. 担心
be worried about ……为……担心
I was never worried about this. = This does not worry me.
4、Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish.
instead of… 我原准备做……但是后来做了……（instead of 后面的词一定是没有做的, 可以放在主句后面）
I went to school instead of staying at home. 我没呆在家里而是去上学了
I bought books instead of buying dresses.
without强调没有做某件事, instead of强调这件事没做成而做成了另外一件事
副词instead“作为替代，反而”，单独使用时一般出现在句尾
If you don’t want a holiday in England, why don’t you go to Australia instead?
5、I am even less lucky.
less是little的比较级，意为“不及，不如，更少”
I spend less time on English than on French.
less+原形
A is less…than B A不如B
6、After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag.
spend+时间+在某地 在某地度过……时间
after <conj.>+从句 在……之后
after <prep.>+名词/动词的ing形式 ……之后（从句主语必须是主句的主语时两种形式可互换）
After I go to school, I learned a lot of knowledge. (用一般式表示一个事实, 不用 “went to” )
After going to school, I learned a lot of knowledge.
介词after的宾语的动名词having spent所表示的动作发生在谓语动词go之前，所以动名词用完成形式。
with an empty bag [] 注意连读
with sth. 有……的，持有……的，随身带着……(状语)
Who’s the man with the beard?
without sth. 没带……
I always go home without angthing. 什么都没带回家
7、'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.
give up doing sth. = stop doing sth. 放弃做某事
Give up smoking.
8、I'm not really interested in fishing.
be intersted in sth. / doing sth. 对……感兴趣
I’m interested in collecting stamps.
【Key structures】
动名词
动词+ing作名词时称为动名词，它仍有动词的属性，可以接宾语，动名词可以代替名词做主语和宾语或介词宾语。
1、动名词作主语
Watching television is my favourite pastime. 看电视是我最喜爱的业余爱好.
2、动名词作宾语
I am very keen on cycling. 我非常喜欢骑自行车.
He is capable of doing anything. 他能胜任任何事情.
3、利用介词/副词+动名词可以把两个句子连成一个句子
apologize for (not) doing sth. 为什么事情而道歉
I must apologize. I interrupted you. 我得表示道歉. 我打断了你的说话(工作).
I must apologize for interrupting you.
由于打断了你的说话(工作), 我得表示道歉. （for interrupting强调interrupt这个动词）
I must apologize for having interrupted you.（for having interrupted强调interrupt这个动词先发生，强调时间 (having done)）
以上两者为时间概念不同，意思相同
congratulate (sb.) on doing sth. 因……祝贺（某人）
He congratulated me. I won the competition. 他向我道贺. 我赢得了这次比赛.
He congratulated me on winning the competition. 在我赢得这次比赛之际, 他向我祝贺.
He congratulated me on having won the competition.
thank you for listening/attending
动名词用表示完成时的having+过去分词结构往往强调动名词的动词发生在前面。
4、跟动名词的短语
be keen on doing sth.（热忠于……）,be fond of,be interested in,enjoy doing sth.（喜欢做某事），congratulations on doing sth. （祝贺……）
be afraid of
be up to=be capable of (capable [] adj.有能力的, 能干的, 有可能的, 可以...的)
可以带动名词的介词有：before，after，without，instead of等
I can’t watch TV without falling asleep. 我看电视时必定会睡着。
5、动名词的否定式是在它前面直接加not。
Exercises C(用括号中的词来连接下列句子, 如需要可对原句进行必要的改动)
2.She bought a pair of boots. (instead of) She did not get a pair of shoes.
She bought a pair of boots instead of getting a pair of shoes.
＝She bought a pair of boots instead of a pair of shoes.
4.(After) She heard the news. She fainted.
after+从句； after prep.+doing
After hearing the news,she fainted. （faint [] vi.昏晕, 昏倒）
6.(On) I saw the plane coming towards me. I dashed for cover

as soon as 一……就……
the moment +从句 一……就……
以上两个主语不一定是同一个人
