# 39 · 我是否痊愈？

### 第1段

While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so. The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone. When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington. When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert. He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been. He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hospital for another two weeks. Then Dr. Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient. 'No,' the patient answered, 'I am Mr. John Gilbert.'

中文理解：约翰·吉尔伯特住院时，想请医生告诉他手术成不成功，医生却不肯说。 第二天，他要了一部床头电话。等房间里只剩自己时，他打给医院总机，请转米灵顿医生。 医生接起电话，吉尔伯特先生说，他想打听一位叫约翰·吉尔伯特的病人的情况。 他问手术是否成功，医生说很成功。他又问病人什么时候能回家，医生说还得住两个星期。 接着，米灵顿医生问来电者是不是病人的亲属。病人回答：“不是，我就是约翰·吉尔伯特。”

* **in hospital**：住院；英式英语强调住院治疗常省the，美式常加the。

* **The following day**：第二天；相对于故事事件的下一天，不一定是明天。

* **asked for**：请求得到；向人要；请求得到帮助或物品；不要和 ask someone to do 的请求动作混淆。

* **answered the phone**：接了电话；接听用answer，不能机械说receive the phone。

* **inquiring about**：询问……的情况；about后说明查询对象；enquire也是常见拼法。

* **a relative of**：……的一位亲属；relative可数；of引出亲属关系所属的人。

#### While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so.

并列复合句，but 连接前后两句，前句为复合句，主句为主谓宾 + 宾补结构，句首是while 引导的时间状语从句，主系表结构；but 后句为主谓宾结构.

其中宾补较长，我们可以额外细分to tell him whether…是tell 接的双宾语，其中直接宾语由whether 引导的从句担任，我们在课文中予以了标记.

#### The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone.

简单句，主谓宾结构.

#### When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington.

复合句，主句为并列句，均为主谓宾结构；句首是when 引导的时间状语从句，主系表结构.

\[关键句型] 本课复习直接引语和间接引语，本句用 he asked for Doctor Millington 叙述他要求接通某位医生，并没有转述一个具体问句；不能仅因出现 asked 就一律称为间接引语。

#### When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert.

复合句，主句主谓 + 宾语从句结构，该宾语从句为主谓结构，省略了that；句首是when 引导的时间状语从句，主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] Mr. Gilbert said…为间接引语.

#### He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been.

并列复合句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓 + if 引导的宾语从句结构，该从句为主系表结构；后句为主谓宾 + that 引导的宾语从句结构，该从句 it had been 省略了前面已出现的表语 successful，仍承接主系表结构。

\[关键句型] he asked…以及the doctor told him that…均为间接引语.

#### He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hospital for another two weeks.

并列复合句，and 连接前后两句，本句跟上一句非常像，前句为主谓 + when 引导的宾语从句结构，不是时间状语从句，这个需要留意，该宾语从句为主谓 + 主补结构. 后句同样含 told him that 引出的内容从句，但这里从句 he would have to stay in hospital 是主谓结构，与上句省略 successful 的主系表结构并不相同。

#### Then Dr. Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient.

复合句，主句主谓宾 + if 引导的宾语从句结构，从句为主系表结构.

#### 'No,' the patient answered, 'I am Mr. John Gilbert.'

这里是报道分句 the patient answered 加直接引语；引语 I am Mr. John Gilbert 是主系表结构，不宜直接称为普通宾语从句。

\[关键句型] 引号里面的内容为直接引语.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《我是否痊愈？》：当面问不到结果 → 换个身份打电话 → 以旁人的口吻询问 → 问到手术和出院日期 → 最后表明自己是谁。再借一个结构讲自己的事：把本课的疑问内容单独问一次，再嵌入 Could you tell me… 比较语序。
