【Text】
The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost. Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lost his wallet while taking his savings to the post office. Sam was sure that the wallet must have been found by one of the villagers, but it was not returned to him. Three months passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet outside his front door. It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it contained half the money he had lost, together with a note which said: 'A thief, yes, but only 50 per cent a thief!' Two months later, some more money was sent to Sam with another note: 'Only 25 per cent a thief now!' In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way. The last note said: 'I am 100 per cent honest now!'

参考译文
整个村子很快知道, 有一大笔钱丢失了. 当地的屠户萨姆.本顿在把存款送往邮局的途中把钱包丢了. 萨姆确信那钱包一定是被某个村民捡到了, 可是却不见有人来送还给他. 3个月过去了, 后来在一天早晨, 萨姆在自己的大门外发现了他的钱包. 钱包是用报纸包着的, 里面有他丢失的钱的一半, 而且还附着一张纸条, 上面写着 : “一个小偷, 是的, 但只是一个50%的小偷!” 又过了两个月, 又有一些钱送还给了萨姆, 又附了一张字条 : “这回只是25%的小偷了!” 很快, 萨姆全部的钱都用同样的方式还了回来. 最后的那张字条上写道 : “我现在是一个100%的诚实人了!”

【课文讲解】
1、A clear conscience 问心无愧
a clear conscience又可译为“清白的良心”，相当于a good conscience，反义词a bad conscience（感到内疚）。

2、The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost.
village在这里为总称，指“村民”，the whole village指“全村的人”，后面通常跟单数动词（有时也可视为复数）
The whole village was excited by news.
learn v. 得知，获悉
the whole world learnt… 全世界都知道……
I’ve just learnt that she was ill.
a large sum of… 一大笔……

3、Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lost his wallet while taking his savings to the post office.
while doing是现在分词短语用于连词之后，作用相当于一个时间状语从句。现在分词这样用的前提是两个动词的主语是同一个，并且这两个动作通常是同时发生（即这句话一定要是进行时态）。如果主语不一致则必须用从句。
这句话完整的应为: while he was taking his savings…

4、Sam was sure that the wallet must have been found by one of the villagers, but it was not returned to him.
must have done 表示对过去的推测；must have been done 表示对过去被动的推测

5、Three months passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet outside his front door.
三种表示一段时间以后,另外一件事情发生的方式：
① …passed, and then
② some time later
③ some time passed before…

6、It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it contained half the money he had lost, together with a note which said: 'A thief, yes, but only 50 per cent a thief!'
wrap up 包裹
It had been wrapped up in newspaper by somebody. (用报纸包用in，不能用by)
half the money =half of the money 钱的一半（half 直接加在名词前表示 “一半” ）
half an hour 半个小时 ， half a year 半年
Half the bread/half of the bread was bad.
together with… = with… 随它一起的还有……（介词短语作状语）
I with my son went there. 我带着我的儿子去了
My son and I went there. 我和我儿子去那里。
a note said… 纸条上说……
the picture said… 图片上说……
newspaper said… 报纸上说……

7、Two months later, some more money was sent to Sam with another note: 'Only 25 per cent a thief now!'
some more money 又有一些钱 (more 又, 再)

8、In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way.
in time = in the end 最终，最后，经过一段时间
In time, he found all the books he needed.
I’ll tell you everything in time.
pay back 还回来
in the way 以这种方式
You must pay attention to your spelling. In this way, you can become a good secrtary in time.
