At a village fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky. 在一个乡村集市上，我决定去拜访一位称作别林斯基夫人的算命人。 为了使表达更简练，英语中通常用名词修饰名词的结构来代替介词短语修饰名词的结构： We went to the fair in the village. = We went to the village fair. She gave me a present for my birthday. = She gave me a birthday present. 2. I went into her tent and she told me to sit down. 我走进她的帐篷，她叫我坐下。 3. After I had given her some money, she looked into a crystal ball and said: ‘A relation of yours is coming to see you.She will be arriving this evening and intends to stay for a few days. The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. A woman you know well will rush towards you. She will speak to you and then she will lead you away from this place. That is all.’ 我给了她一些钱后，她便查看着一个水晶球说道：“您的一个亲戚就要来看您了。她将于今天傍晚到达，并准备住上几天。您一走出这个帐篷，就会大吃一惊。一位您很熟悉的女人将向您冲来。她会对您说点什么，然后带您离开这个地方。就是这些。” （1）a relation of yours为名词的双重所有格（cf．第10课语法）： a friend of my fathers 我父亲的一位朋友 a friend of mine 我的一个朋友 （2）句子中的现在进行时并不表示目前正在进行的动作，而表示将要发生的事情。（cf．本课语法） (3) 连词 the moment (that)与 as soon as含义一样，表示“一……就”： Ill phone you the moment I get the letter. 我一拿到信就给你打电话。 在这个连词引导的时间状语从句中要用一般现在时来表示将来时。（cf．本课语法） (4) That’s all是口语中常用的一句话，表示“完了”、“就这些”、“事情就是这样”等含义： He borrowed some money from me. Thats all. 他向我借了些钱，仅此而已。 4. As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me. 我一走出帐篷，就把别林斯基夫人给我算卦的事忘得一干二净了，因为我的妻子正匆匆向我跑来。 与that is all中的 all一样，这句话中的all也是代词，表示“一切”、“全部”、“所有的事”，注意作主语时它被视为单数： All I can remember is her name. 我所记得的只是她的名字。 hurry towards sb. 表示“向某人匆匆走去”。 Hurry Rush a) hurry 表示动作太仓促或太快，行色匆匆等： There’s no need to hurry; we’re not late. 不必匆忙赶；我们不会迟到。 b) rush 所表示的急迫性比hurry更大，有时暗示了突然的，激烈的动作和极快的速度： Two men rushed up to her and stole her handbag. 两个男人冲到她面前，抢走了她的手提包。 比较： Don’t hurry / rush me; let me think about it. The fire engine rushed past us as we waited at the traffic lights. (Not: hurried) 我们在红绿灯处等候时，救火车从我们身边疾驰而过。 5. ‘Where have you been hiding?’ she asked impatiently.
