# 22 · 玻璃信封

### 第1段

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

中文理解：我女儿简从没想过，会收到荷兰一位同龄女孩的来信。 去年，我们乘船横渡英吉利海峡。简把一张写着姓名和地址的纸放进瓶子，扔进了海里。 她后来就把这件事忘了，可十个月后，她竟收到了一位荷兰女孩的来信。 现在，两个女孩经常互相写信。 不过，她们决定还是通过邮局寄信。虽然要多花一点邮费，但信肯定能送得更快。

* **dreamed of**：想到；料想；原句never dreamed of receiving指从未料到会收到，不是在说长期追求的梦想。

* **of her own age**：与她同龄的；own跟随物主代词变化，修饰前面的人。

* **a piece of paper**：一张纸；paper作纸张时不可数，不能说a paper指一张白纸。

* **thought of**：想到；想起；of引出脑中出现的对象；不一定指仔细思考。

* **each other**：彼此；互相；表示双方或多方互相做某事，不是各自独立行动。

* **a little more**：稍微多一点；a little修饰more表示小幅增加；别当作很多。

#### My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland.

简单句，主谓宾结构，其中dreamed of 可以看作动词短语作谓语，而动名词短语 receiving sth. 则作介词of 的宾语，后面from a girl 是修饰a letter 的定语，而of her own age 以及in Holland 为修饰a girl 的定语.

Jane 是常用的女生名，名著Jane Eyre 就是Eyre 为姓，Jane 为名，所以中文书名 《简·爱》有个“·”.

\[关键句型] 本课学习后面可跟of, from, in 和on 的动词表达，本句的of 需要留意，教材中给出了非常多的动词总结，建议查阅.

#### Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle.

并列句，前句 we were travelling 是主谓结构，后句 Jane put a piece of paper into a bottle 是主谓宾结构，into a bottle 交代放置的位置。paper 作纸张之意时为不可数名词，要用a piece of 来表达；论文之意时，为可数名词. with 引导的短语教材中已作讲解，此处略.

#### She threw the bottle into the sea.

简单句，主谓宾结构.

#### She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland.

并列句，这里两个句子中间有连词but，其前后都有逗号，如果没有but 等连词，直接试图用逗号连接两个句子是不合适的.

#### Both girls write to each other regularly now.

简单句，主谓结构.

#### However, they have decided to use the post office.

简单句，主谓宾结构，谓语动词用了现在完成时，后跟动词不定式短语作宾语. 毕竟“漂流瓶联系”还是不靠谱. 动词不定式短语我们予以细分to use the post office.

#### Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

并列句，两句均为主谓结构，也都有副词作状语修饰动词.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《玻璃信封》：没想到会有回信 → 把地址扔进海里 → 十个月后的惊喜 → 成了固定笔友 → 改用邮局通信。再借一个结构讲自己的事：从本课挑一个活动，把它放进 I enjoy…，再换成自己真正喜欢做的事。
