Lesson 45 A clear conscience問心無愧

First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。
How did Sam get his money back?
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!'

　　課文詳注 Further notes on the text
　　1．A clear conscience, （標(biāo)題）問心無愧。
　　clear在這里的含義為“清白的”、“無罪的”，因此這個(gè)短語又可譯為“清白的良心”，相當(dāng)于 a good conscience，反義詞為 a bad conscience（感到內(nèi)疚）。

　　2．The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost. 整個(gè)村子很快知道，有一大筆錢丟失了。
　　（1）village在這里為總稱，指“村民”，the whole village指“全村的人”，后面通常跟單數(shù)動(dòng)詞（有時(shí)也可視為復(fù)數(shù)）：
　　The whole village was excited by the news.
　　這消息使全村的人興奮。
　?。?）learn在句中的含義為“獲悉”、“得知”：
　　I've just learnt that she was ill.
　　我剛剛得知她病了。

　　3．Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lost his wallet while taking his savings to the post office. 當(dāng)?shù)氐耐缿羲_姆·本頓在把存款送往郵局的途中把錢包丟了。
　　taking為現(xiàn)在分詞。與動(dòng)名詞相似，它也可以有自己的賓語、狀語等。在連詞while之后，現(xiàn)在分詞短語的作用相當(dāng)于一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從 句：…while he was taking his savings to the post office?，F(xiàn)在分詞這樣用的前提是兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞的主語是同一個(gè)，并且這兩個(gè)動(dòng)作通常是同時(shí)發(fā)生的：
　　He listened to music while cleaning the room.
　　他一邊打掃房間一邊聽音樂。
　　如果是主語不一致則必須用從句：
　　He listened to music while I was cleaning the room.
　　我打掃房間時(shí)，他在聽音樂。

　　4．Sam was sure that the wallet must have been found by one of the villagers…薩姆確信那錢包一定是被某個(gè)村民撿到了……
　　must用于對(duì)過去已發(fā)生的事進(jìn)行推測(cè)時(shí)，后面的動(dòng)詞要用完成式：
　　When I arrived, he wasn't here. He must have left early.
　　我到這兒的時(shí)候他已不在了。他一定早走了。

　　5．it contained half the money he had lost, 里面有他丟失的錢的一半。
　　我們既可以說 half the money，也可以說 half of the money，它們可以互相替代，但是money前都必須有the，因?yàn)槭侵柑囟ǖ腻X。再如：
　　Half the bread/ half of the bread was bad.
　　這面包有一半已變質(zhì)了。

　　6．In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way. 很快，薩姆全部的錢都用同樣的方式還了回來。
　　（1）in time可以表示“經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間”或“最終”、“遲早”：
　　In time, he found all the books he needed.
　　一段時(shí)間以后，他找到了他需要的所有書。
　　I'll tell you everything in time.
　　我最終／總有一天會(huì)把一切都告訴你的。
　?。?）in this way表示“用這樣的方式”：
　　You must pay attention to your spelling. In this way, you can become a good secretary in time.
　　你必須注意你的拼寫。這樣你才能最終成為一個(gè)好秘書。

　　語法 Grammar in use
　　被動(dòng)語態(tài)（4）
　　在第10課、第21課與第34課的語法中，我們學(xué)習(xí)了用于一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)、一般過去時(shí)和現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)中的被動(dòng)語態(tài)、情態(tài)助動(dòng)詞與被動(dòng)語態(tài)的連用以及動(dòng)詞+賓語+不定式結(jié)構(gòu)中被動(dòng)語態(tài)的使用等：
　　That table was made in 1970(by my grandfather).
　　那張桌子是1970年（由我的祖父）做的。
　　The rooms must be cleaned today.

　　約翰已被告知不要在這種天氣出去散步。
　　I never expected the thief to be arrested.
　　我從沒有指望小偷會(huì)被逮著。
　　表示過去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作時(shí)，被動(dòng)語態(tài)還可以用于過去完成時(shí)；用于完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)也可以與情態(tài)助動(dòng)詞連用：
　　Where the dogs ever found?
　　那些狗找著了嗎?
