Lesson 35:Stop thief!捉贼！
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
How did Roy stop the thieves?
Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and he has not regretted it. He is finding his new work far more exciting. When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag full of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

罗伊.特雷顿原是开出租汽车的，然而就在前不久，他开上了公共汽车，也并不为此而感到后悔。他发觉自己的新工作令人兴奋得多。最近，当他正开车在凯特福德街上行驶时，看到有两个小偷从一家商店里冲出来，奔向等在那里的一辆汽车，其中一个提着一只装满钞票的提包。罗伊行动迅速，开车直冲窃贼而去。拿钱的那个小偷吓得把提包都扔了。当那两个小偷企图乘车逃跑时，罗伊驾驶他的公共汽车撞在了那辆车的后尾上。当那辆被撞坏的车开走后，罗伊停下车，给警察挂了电话。小偷的车损坏严重，很容易辨认。没过多久，警察就截住了那辆车，两个小偷都被抓住了。

1. regret
v. 后悔， 遗憾
★ regret doing 后悔 （已做之事）
I regret telling a lie to my parents.= I regret that I told a lie to my parents. 我后悔跟父母撒了个谎。

2. far
adv. 非常 （用于修饰形容词、 副词的比较级）
Houses are far more expensive than before. 现在的房子要比以前贵多了。
She sings far better than that so?鄄called “Super Voice”. 她唱歌唱得比所谓的“超级声音”强多了。
★ 修饰形容词、 副词比较级的还有： a lot / much / a great deal / a little / a bit / slightly
3. straight
adj. 直的， 直接的
She has been keeping that straight face, and I can’t bear it any more. 她一直拉长着脸， 我实在受不了了。

adv. 径直地， 直接地

Go straight to the point. / Speak straight to the point. 直说吧。
It comes straight from the horse’s mouth. 这是个可靠消息。
Ⅱ. 现身说“法”： 结果状语从句
结果状语从句在说明事物的结果时， 总是位于主句之后。 一般由 so/such...that... （如此…以至于） 引导， 并且可以省略为so, and so, 或and。
He became so excited that he couldn’t speak. 他激动得都说不出话了。
Tommy was having great difficulty getting his bike out, and so I had to move my bike first to let him out.
汤姆没办法取出他的自行车, 所以我先挪开了我的以便让他出去。
比较： so...that 与such...that
两者都能引导结果状语从句； so是副词， 后接形容词或副词； such是形容词， 它修饰的是名词。
such + a/an + 形容词+名词=so+形容词+a/an+名词。
Paris is such a romantic city that we all admire it.
Paris is so romantic a city that we all admire it.
巴黎是个很浪漫的城市， 人人都向往它。
如被修饰的名词是不可数名词或是复数名词， 一般用such...that。

它们是极珍贵的宝石， 所以警察在各个入口严防死守。
The lava is such hot liquid rock that it melts everything it touches.
岩浆是极热的液体岩石， 能熔化一切它触及的东西。
如名词前有many, much, little, few 修饰, 则常用so...that
I have had so many falls that I hurt all over. 我摔了好多次跤， 浑身都是伤。
I had so little money on me that I didn’t buy anything. 我身上没带什么钱， 所以啥都没买。
Ⅲ. 说“文”解“字”
1. He is finding his new work far more exciting.
find在这里是个宾补动词。
He is finding this trip very exciting. 他觉得这次旅行非常令人激动。
I’m finding the internet far more interesting. 我觉得互联网非常有趣。
He found Harry’s homework machine amazing. 他感觉哈里的作业机很神。
2. When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car.
（1） see和其他一些感官动词 （如feel， hear， observe, watch, notice， smell, find等） 常用“动词＋名词或代词宾语＋不带to的不定式”结构， 表示感受到了全过程， 而跟“doing”则表示正在做。课文中rush和run是two thieves的两个连续动作， 使用的都是不带to的不定式。
I saw Zorro kill the bad guy. 我看见佐罗杀了那个坏蛋。 （过程+结果）
I saw Zorro fighting with the bad guy. 我看见佐罗正在和一个坏蛋打斗。 （正在）
I heard someone say that. 我听到有人说过这事。
I heard someone crying in the dark. 我听到有人在黑暗中哭泣。
（2） waiting是现在分词作定语， 表示“等待着的， 等在那里的”。
3. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag.
（1） with表示“拿着”， 作定语修饰the one， 意思是“拿着钱的小偷”。
（2） such...that...表示“如此…以至于…”。such是形容词， 后面接名词（such + 形容词 + 名词 + that ）； 而so...that...结构中so是副词， 后面接形容词（so + 形容词/副词 + that）。
It is such a big place that we can build a house here.
It is so big a place that we can build a house here. 这是个较大的地方， 我们可以在这里建个房子。
