anyone else.

谁也弄不清为什么大学生好像比任何人都更喜欢恶作剧。大学生擅长一种特殊的恶作剧——戏弄人。

可以用来说明一种比较奇怪的现象的开头。

2、 Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. 果然，警察来了，并礼貌地请工人离开此地

3、 The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help.

工人说，悉听尊便。警察去打电话叫人。

4、 Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they

had all been the victims of hoax.

当他看到那个工人真的是给警察挂电话，才恍然大悟，原来他们都成一场骗局的受害者。

倒装句。。助词要提前。。更加强调一种恍然大悟的感觉。

第39课 Nothing to Worry About

1、 Even though the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes, Bruce was not in the

least perturbed.

尽管路面布满石头，坑坑洼洼，但布鲁斯却一点儿不慌乱。

2、 It was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties.

这并不是说布鲁斯总是低估困难,

典型的强调句式。。

3、giving way towhere the only obstacles were clumps of bushes.

突然大石块不见了，前面是一片平地，唯一的障碍只有一簇簇灌木丛。这使我们长长地松了口气。

第一个划线处。。感叹句式

第二个划线处。。注意平原修饰词。。表示延伸的意义。

4、 但是更糟糕的事情在等着我们

又是比较极的应用。

5、 In response to renewed pleadings, Bruce stopped.

我们再次央求布鲁斯小心，他这才把车停了下来。

这里renew pleadings表达一个反复多次请求的意思。。值得学习。。。

6、 Bruce engaged low gear and drove at a terrifying speed, keeping the front wheels astride the

crack as he followed its zig-zag course.
