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.

Notes on the text 课文注释

1 a short while ago, 不久前。
2 far more exciting, 令人兴奋得多。far是副词，放在比较级的形容词前，表示程度，可译作“很”、“大大地”。
3 he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car, 他看到两个小偷从一家商店里冲出来，奔向等在那里的一辆汽车。在动词see后面接不定式时，不定式要省去to，如本句中的rush和run两个不定式。
4 a bag full of money, 一只装满钞票的提包。full of…是形容词短语，此处作定语，相当于一个定语从句which was full of money。
5 The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. 拿钱的那个小偷吓得把提包都扔了。句中such…that…的结构有“如此……以至于……”的意思，such后面要跟名词。
6 shortly afterwards, 没过多久。

参考译文

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。

Key structures：Review of tenses
1 The simple present. (KS 26)
2 The simple past. (KS 27)
3 The present perfect simple. (KS 28)
4 Used to. (KS 31)
5 The passive with verbs which take an object and the to-infinitive. (KS 34)
Pattern drill
1 John hasn't regretted the decision yet. Do you regret it? - No, I don't regret it.
A contrast is drawn between the use of the present perfect and the simple present with stative verbs.
2 Have you remembered to pay the bill? - I paid it yesterday.
The present perfect (with no time reference) is contrasted with the simple past + exact time.Note the difference between remember + to-infinitive (SD 16) and remember + gerund.
I remembered to post your letter (so I posted it).
I remember posting your letter (i.e. I know I posted it because I can still recall the moment when I did it).Compare also forget to do something and forget doing something.
3 He used to be very timid：this implies that he is no longer timid.
4 The lunch has been spoilt：the present perfect (passive) shows the present result (i.e. we can't eat it) of a past action.
Don't look at me! i.e. Don't accuse me of spoiling it. Me is stressed.
I didn't spoil it：in changing from passive to active, the stress falls on the subject‘I’of the active verb.

Rov Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short
while ago, however, he became a bus-
driver and he was 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.

常用主动表被动，在不定式的表达方式当中，动词的宾语如果刚好是这句话的主语，这个
宾语一定不能出现
the apple is too sour to eat

to answer the question
the question is easy enough to answer
easy to recognize（car）因car是主语，所以不能出现

special difficulties
so/such如此
such...that.../so...that...如此以致于
