Lesson 57 Can I help you, madam? 你要买什么夫人
【Text】

A woman in jeans stood at the window of an expensive shop. Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress was sold. The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day. She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After seeking out the rude assistant, she asked for the same dress. Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time. With great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it. She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.

【课文翻译】
一位穿着牛仔裤的妇女站在一家高档商店的橱窗前. 她虽然犹豫了片刻, 但终于还是走进了商店, 要求把陈列在橱窗里的一件衣服拿给她看. 接待她的售货员不喜欢她的那副打扮, 轻蔑地看了她一眼后, 便告诉她那件衣服已经卖出去了. 这位妇女怒气冲冲地走出了商店, 决定第二天教训一下那个售货员. 第二天上午, 她又来到这家商店, 穿了一件裘皮大衣, 一只手拎着一只手提包, 另一只手拿着一把长柄伞. 找到那个无礼的售货员后, 她还要看昨天的那件衣服. 那个售货员没有认出她是谁, 这一回接待她的态度非常殷勤. 费了好大劲几, 他爬进橱窗去取那件衣服. 这位妇女对那件衣服只看一眼, 就说不喜欢. 她开心地迫使那位售货员把橱窗里几乎所有的东西都拿了出来, 最后才买下了她最先要看的那一件.

二． Key structures：
用于表示地点和位置的介词和副词in, at和off;用于描写人的介词in和with
在第9课的语法中，我们学习了引导时间状语的介词in, on, at, during, till和until;在第33课的语法中，我们学习了表示方向和目的地的介词和副词，如on, off, from, to, towards, in, into, out of, at, under, over等。

（1）在表示地点和位置时，说话人的个人角度会影响对介词的选择。at通常用于表示居住地点和某个停留地点、工作地点等，而in则表示里面或包围的含义：
I stopped at London on the way to New York.去纽约的途中我曾在伦敦停留。（伦敦是途中的一个点）
I live in London.我住在伦敦。（伦敦"包围着"他）
We met at the cinema this afternoon. He waited for me near the ticket office.
我们今天下午在电影院见了面。他在售票处附近等我。
We swam in the river while Jane sat in the car.
我们在河里游泳时简坐在汽车里。

（2）off常与动词连用，表示位置的变化，即"与……分离"，可译为"脱掉"、"脱落"等，其反义词为on:
The handle of my suitcase has come off. 我手提箱的提手掉下来了。
He took the cup off the shelf. 他把杯子从架上拿了下来。

（3）描写人时，in通常用于表示穿着，with则表示身上的某个具体特征或随身带着什么：
Yesterday she was (dressed) in jeans. Today she is (dressed) in a fur coat.
昨天她穿着牛仔裤。今天她穿了一件裘皮大衣。
John looks very handsome in that uniform, doesn't he?
约翰穿那套制服时看上去非常英俊，是不是？
He looks handsome in anything!
他穿任何衣服看上去都很英俊！
The man with a beard over there is Sam.
那边那个留着胡子的人是萨姆。
The police say the woman they're looking for has a red handbag/red hair.
警方说他们正在寻找的那位妇女有一个红色的手提包/一头红发。
There's a woman with a red handbag/red hair over there!
那边就有一位带着红色手提包/长着一头红发的妇女！
A child came along with a brown dog.
一位带着一条棕色的狗的小孩走了过来。

2．make与let
这两个动词后面都跟不带to的不定式，但意义和用法上有区别。
（1）make+名词/代词+不带to的不定式表示"迫使"、"致使"：
That beard makes you look much older than you really are.
您的胡须使您看上去比您的实际年龄大得多。
What made him change his mind?
是什么使他改变了主意？
She made the assistant bring almost everything in the window.
她迫使那位售货员把橱窗里几乎所有的东西都拿了出来。

在被动语态中含有上述意义的make后面必须带to:
He was made to work fourteen hours a day.
他被迫一天工作14小时。
He was made to change his mind.
他被迫改变了主意。
（2）let有两种用法，一是用于祈使句，建议包括说话者在内的人采取某一行动：
Let's not waste any more time.我们别再浪费时间了。
Let's take a taxi.我们坐出租车吧。
其否定形式除Let's not…外也可以用Don't let's…:
Don't let's waste any more time.我们别再浪费时间了。
这种祈使句中的let相当于助动词。

let的第2种用法是表示"允许"，其结构与make相同，即 let+名词/代词+不带to的不定式。如果宾语是us,则不能缩写成let's:
Please let us have more time, will you?
请多给我们一点时间好吗？
I won't let you ride my bicycle.
我不让你骑我的自行车。
Let him speak.
让他说话。
let后面可以跟一个被动的、不带to的不定式：
He let it be known that the house was his.
他让大家知道那房子是他的。
但是let一般不用于被动意义来表示"被允许"，这时可用allow:
They didn't let us speak.他们没有让我们讲话。
We were not allowed to speak.我们没有被允许讲话。

2、Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window.

the way 可以直接加定语从句, 不需要引导词
I don’t like the way she eats. 我不喜欢她吃饭的样子

4. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress was sold.

Glancing at her scornfully 现在分词短语表伴随状态

◆the following morning 相当于 the next morning 第二天早上

◆ dressed in a fur coat 穿着裘皮大衣。dressed in是过去分词短语作伴随状语
◆ in one hand…in the other

8、Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time.
那个售货员没有认出她是谁, 这一回接待她的态度非常殷勤.
现在分词短语代替一个分句位于句首时，其否定形式是在它前面加上not，without 或 never等否定词。这些词有时可互换，有时则不可：
Not/Without/Never hesitating for a moment, he ran after the thief. Not being able to open the door, I asked my neighbour for help.
tell sb. not to do sth. 告诉某人不要做某事

像eager，glad，pleased，sorry等描述感觉的形容词作表语时后面往往跟不定式：

9. With great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it.
费了好大劲几，他爬进橱窗去取那件衣服。这位妇女对那件衣服只看一眼，就说不喜欢。

（1）enjoy oneself doing sth.表示“从„„中得到乐趣”：
