# 29 · 出租汽车

### 第1段

Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park.Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.

中文理解：本·福西特机长买了一辆特别的“出租车”，开办了一项新业务。原来，这辆“车”是一架瑞士产的“皮拉图斯·波特”小飞机。 这架性能不错的飞机能载七名乘客。不过最让人惊讶的是，它几乎在哪儿都能降落：雪地、水面，甚至刚犁过的田地。 福西特机长的第一位乘客是位医生。他从伯明翰乘飞机，前往威尔士山区一个偏僻的村庄。 此后，机长载着乘客去过许多不寻常的地方。 他曾降落在公寓楼顶，也曾降落在废弃的停车场。不过，他最近拒绝了一位商人的特殊请求：那人想去大西洋上偏僻的罗科尔岛，机长却没送他去，因为这趟飞行太危险了。

* **carry seven passengers**：运载七名乘客；carry指交通工具载客；人数说明容量。

* **Since then**：从那以后；then指前文过去事件，延续至今常配现在完成时。

* **on the roof of**：在……屋顶上；在屋顶表面用on；别与ceiling天花板混淆。

* **a block of flats**：一栋公寓楼；英式英语中指整栋公寓楼，不是一套公寓。

* **on another occasion**：另一次；occasion是某次场合；时间介词用on。

* **refused a strange request**：拒绝一个奇怪的请求；refuse可直接接request，也可接to do。

#### Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service.

并列句，均为主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] 本课对比一般过去时和现在完成时. 本并列句的前后两句has bought 和has begun 均为现在完成时.

#### The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'.

简单句，主系表结构，后面有个过去分词短语作后置定语.

#### The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field.

复合句，主系 + 表语从句结构，从句是主谓结构. a ploughed field 这里，ploughed 是形容词作定语，修饰field，plough 也写作plow，而plough 的过去式为ploughed，已经被耕种过的了.

#### Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains.

复合句，主句主系表结构，后面跟了一个who 引导的定语从句，为主谓结构.

#### Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park.Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman.

并列句，and 连接的前后两个均为主谓结构的句子，两句的划分并不是以逗号，这个逗号是第二句里面的句中逗号.

\[关键句型] 本并列句前后两句landed 均为一般过去时.

简单句，主谓宾结构. 现在完成时.

#### The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.

复合句，but 连接了前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构，动词不定式短语作宾语，一般过去时；but 后面为复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，也是一般过去时，后面跟了一个because 引导的原因状语从句，主系表结构，也是一般过去时.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《出租汽车》：特别的出租车 → 能在各种地方降落 → 第一位乘客 → 接过许多特殊行程 → 也有必须拒绝的任务。再借一个结构讲自己的事：先用短句介绍本课一个对象，再用关系从句补上识别它的重要细节。
