Why was Rastus 'very dear' in more ways than one?
1、Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they recently took
considerable interest in Mrs.
Rarely = seldom adv.很少地
be interest in = take interest in (一句话中用不同的表达方式, 是为了避免从复)
took great interest in = take enormous/tremendous interest in
2、Eleanor Ramsay's cat. Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has
shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years.
share something with somebody 和某人分享某物
-- I share the room with my friend.
For a great many years = for a long time.
3、Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings
and is always home by seven o'clock.
Orderly adj.有秩序的, 有顺序的
Discipline v.训练 n.纪律, 学科
Disciplined n.受过训练的,遵守纪律的
Regular adj.规则的, 有秩序的
takes a short walk = goes for a walk = goes for a stroll
stroll n.漫步, 闲逛
4、One evening, however, he failed to arrive.
Mrs. Ramsay got very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not
find him.
However 的使用表明:he isn’t home that evening.
look for, find
5、There days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous
letter.
after 可以和名词搭配
-- three days after Johnson’s arrival. 约翰逊到来三天之后。
-- three days after the kidnapper’s appearance.
6、The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned
immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.
State 非常正式的声明
7、Mrs. Ramsay was instructed to place the money in a cardboard box and to
leave it outside her door.
Instruct = order(vt.命令) = tell formally(adv.正式地, 形式上)
be instructed to do something
-- The journalist was instructed to obtain the exact statistics.
8、At first she decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never
see Rastus again –the letter had made that quite clear -- she changed her
mind.
Fearing 现在分词做原因状语
make it clear to somebody that…(it 是形式主语)
-- The teacher has made it clear to us that we must read English aloud
every day.
9、She withdrew $1000 from her bank and followed the kidnapper's
instructions.
10、The next morning, the box had disappeared but Mrs. Ramsay was sure that the
kidnapper would keep his word.
Keep his word = keep his promise 遵守诺言
word 表示诺言时, 要采用单数形式
keep his word 遵守诺言 / break his word 失信用
give somebody one's word 向某人保证
-- I give you my word that I will return your bicycle.
as good as one's word 表示守信用(侧重点在于强调一个结果)
-- He promised to pay me the money and he was as good as his word.
他许诺把钱给我, 正如他所言他遵守了他的诺言。
go back on one's word 食言, 违背诺言
11、Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening.
sure enough 强调确实如此
-- I said it would happen, and sure enough it did happen.
12、He looked very well though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a
bottle of milk.
half a bottle of milk 半瓶牛奶
half the money 一半的钱 / half the distance 一半的距离
13、The police were astounded when Mrs. Ramsay told them what she had done.
She explained that Rastus was very dear to her.
14、Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one!
in more ways than one = in many ways
dear 具有双重意义(即是亲爱的, 又是昂贵的)
