A. Texts & Notes

1. Would you please stop?

( Albert is taking his driving test. The examiner is giving the orders.)
Examiner: Would you please look before you do that?
Albert: Look?
Examiner: Yes. Please look carefully before you turn. In front of you and behind you.
Albert: Oh — right.
Examiner: Always look in front of you and behind you — please!
Albert: Okay.
Examiner: Now — would you please stop at the corner?
Albert: Ah! But first — look in front.
Examiner: Yes. But will you please stop at the corner?
Albert: And now look behind, in the mirror.
Examiner: Please stop!
Albert: I remember, didn't I?
Examiner: Stop!

（艾伯特在接受驾驶测验，主考人在发布命令。）
主考人： 你在拐弯前先看看，好吗？
艾伯特： 看看？
主考人： 是的。拐弯前请你仔细看看，看看前面和后面。
艾伯特： 啊——对。
主考人： 请随时注意前面和后面！
艾伯特： 好的。
主考人： 现在，让爱你停在拐角处。
艾伯特： 噢！不过首先——看看前面。
主考人： 不错——可是请你停在拐角处怎么样？
艾伯特： 再看看后面，从镜子里。
主考人： 请停下！
艾伯特： 我记住了，对不对？
主考人： 停！

 注1. please 一般放在句末，表示请求。但也可以放在动词之前，以加强语气，表示要求。如：
Will you turn left at the next corner. please?（请在下个路口向左转弯。好吗？） 这是请求的口吻
Will you please turn left at the next corner? （请在下个路口向左转弯。） 这是要求的口吻
 注2. please 在句中的位置在前或在后，以及用 Would you … ? 还是用 Will you … ? 可表示不同的语气。例：
Would you stop, please? 客气请求
Will you stop, please? 一般请求
Stop, please. 客气命令
Would you please stop? 客气要求
Will you please stop? 一般要求
Stop! 命令
本课文中 Albert 不听从主考人的指令，所以主考人的语气从客气改为一般，从要求改命令。
 注3. Would you please look before you do that? 这也是个复合句，before you do that 是从句，表示 look 的时间，是状语从句。

2. He wants you to have a nice rest.

(The examiner has got seriously injured. His wife and his daughter come to the hospital to see him.)
Wife: I saw the insurance man, dear. He wants you to fill in these froms.
Carol: Shall I fill them in for you, Dad? Oh, all right.
Wife: How are you today?
Carol: You're looking well. You've got someone to talk to now — well, to listen to, that is.
Wife: Mr Ridley telephoned, dear. Yes, your boss. He wants you to have a nice rest, and not to worry. He wants to be well and strong again before you go back to work.
Carol: Yes. He wants you to forget about all the problems he has.

（主考人受了重伤，他的妻子和女儿到医院来看他。）
妻子：我见到保险公司的人了，亲爱的。他要你填写这些表格。
卡罗尔：要我来帮你填吗，爸爸？噢，好吧。
妻子：你今天怎么样？
卡罗尔：你看上去挺好。现在你有人说个话了——嗯，就是说有人讲话给你听了。
妻子：里德利先生打电话来了，亲爱的。是的，你的上司。他要你好好休息。不要着急。他要你抒身体养好，养结实了再去工作
卡罗尔：是的。他要你别为他的麻烦事操心啦。

 注4. 表示自己要某人干某事，或转述某人要某人干某事，可以用这个语句：to want (someone) to (do something)。例：
 He wants to know if his car is ready.（他想知道他的汽车是否修好了？）
 He wants you to check the oil, too.（他还要你检查一下机油。）
 He wants you to show the grapes to him.（他要你把葡萄给他看看。）
 Albert wants Carol to ask her father whether he passed his test.（艾伯特要卡罗尔问他父亲他通过考试了没有？）
 注5. 传述否定的意思有两种说法：
 (1) don't want … to …（不要某人干某事），例：
  We don't want her tp go.（我们不要她去。）
  He didn't you to turn right.（他没要你向右转。）
 (2) want … not to …（要某人不干某事），例：
   I was her not to go.（我要他别去。）
   He wants me not to leave here untill 2 o'clock.（他要我两点以前别离开这儿。）
 注6.直接引语为祈使句时，间接引语用不定式表示。例：

 注7. You've got someone to talk to now. 卡罗尔讲了这句后，发觉不太好，因她父亲不能说话，于是她口气一转，说：well, to listen to, that is. that is 在这里的意思是：就是说……，即……。to have got … to … 是很有用的句型，表示有什么人做什么事，或有什么东西供什么用。如：
  I've got something to eat.（我有些吃的东西。）
  He's got a book to translate.（他有一本书要翻译。）
  Have you got anything to declare?（你有要向海关申报的东西吗？）
  She's got a grandma to take care of.（他有位奶奶要照顾。）
 注9.He wants you to before about all the problems he has.（他要你忘掉他的所有的麻烦事。）he has 是 problems 的定语，相当于 the problems which he has.

3. Please tell him to be quiet.

( The car accdent brought Albert and Carol together. It's funny, isn't it? But something happens.)
Carol: Please tell him that I think he's the worst man I know.
Dad: She thinks you're the worst man she knows.
Albert: And please tell your daughter that I don't care what she thinks.
Dad: He dosn't care what you think.
Carol: Well, please tell him to be quiet.
Dad: Be quiet.
Albert: Please tell her that I Will not be quiet.

（车祸把艾伯特和卡罗尔连接在一起了。很有趣，对吗？可是出问题了。）
卡罗尔：请你告诉他，我认为他是我所认得的最坏的人。
爸爸： 她认为你是她认得的最坏的人。
艾伯特： 请告诉你的女儿，我不在乎好怎么看。
爸爸：他不在乎你怎么看。
卡罗尔： 那么，请他安静。
爸爸：安静！
艾伯特：请告诉她我不打算保持安静。

 注9.要人转告某人做某事，可以用这个句型：Tell (someone) to (do something). 或 Ask (someone) to (do something). 例：
  Tell him come tomorrow.（告诉他明天来。）
  Ask him not to makt so much noise.（要他别这么吵。）
也可以用 tell (someone) that … 后跟一个从句来表达。如：
  Tell him I've just finished it.（告诉他我刚刚把它弄完。）
  Please tell her that cheese sandwiches make girls very fat.（请告诉她奶酪三明治会合姑娘发胖的。）
 注10. the worst man I know. worst 是 bad “坏”的最高级形式，即“最坏”。I know 在这里修饰 man。
 注11. I don't care what she thinks. 句中的 what she thinks 是宾语从句。what 是关系代词，表示“什么（东西）”。如：
 He know what Ilike.（她知道我喜欢什么。）
 I don't understand what you said.（我不明白你说的什么。）

5. Reading material: Dover harbour
     This man is one of the radio controllers at the sea port of Dover in the south east of Britain. He controls all the ships that enter the harbour. Most of the ships that arrive here are from Calais, Boulogne and Dunkirk. They are cross—channel ferries, bringing passengers and their cars to Britain. They come and go day and hight.
     Dover is the busiest port in Britain. Many people who come here for their holiday or business trips bring their car.
     First of all you have to go to Passport Control and then to Health and Immigration. And remember this: Animals are not allowed into Britain without special permission. So don't bring your cat and dog for a holiday.
     At the customs you have a choice: Green means you have nothing to declare. Red means that you have something which must be declared to the customs officer. You may have to pay customs duty. If you go through the green lane the customs officer will stop you and ask about duty—free allowances.
