# 41 · 你把那个叫帽子吗？

### 第1段

'Do you call that a hat?' I said to my wife. 'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror. I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror. 'We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once. 'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.' 'I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.' 'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered. Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse!

中文理解：“这也能叫帽子？”我对妻子说。她照着镜子回答：“你也用不着这么不客气吧。” 我坐在一把带孔的现代式椅子上等着。我们在帽子店已经待了半小时，她还站在镜子前。 我突然说道：“咱们不能买不需要的东西。”可话一出口，我几乎立刻就后悔了。 妻子回答：“你本来没必要说这话。你昨天买的那条难看的领带，还用我提醒吗？” 我说：“我觉得它很好看。男人的领带再多也不嫌多。”她接道：“女人的帽子也一样。” 十分钟后，我们一起走出商店。妻子头上的帽子，简直像座灯塔！

* **in the mirror**：在镜子里；镜像用in，动作对象可用反身代词。

* **for half an hour**：持续半小时；half an hour中保留an，指时长不是时刻。

* **in front of**：在……前面；与behind相对；别少掉of。

* **regretted saying**：后悔说过；doing指已做过的事；regret to say常用于遗憾地告知。

* **at once**：立刻；表示立即采取行动，不能和表示终于的 at last 互换。

* **looked like**：看起来像；like是介词；后接名词，不直接接完整句子。

#### 'Do you call that a hat?'

简单句，主谓宾 + 宾补结构.

#### 'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror.

复合句，主句主系表结构，后面是as 引导的时间状语从句，主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] 本课复习must, have to 和need 的用法，本句使用了need 的否定形式.

#### I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓结构；后句为省略了主语的主谓结构.

#### We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前后均为主系表结构.

#### 'We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面跟了一个省略了 that 的定语从句，that 指 things，在从句中作 need 的宾语；不能把宾语省略理解成 need 是不及物动词。

\[关键句型] 本句用到了must 和need，在这里不可以互换，注意体会其意思.

#### I regretted saying it almost at once.

简单句，主谓宾结构，动名词短语作宾语，这个宾语本身是有逻辑上的动宾关系的，say it.

#### 'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered.

简单句，主谓宾结构，用了need 的否定形式.

#### 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面有一个省略了引导词that 的定语从句，主谓结构.

remind sb. of sth. 提醒某人某事，of sth. 是与 remind 搭配、说明提醒内容的介词补足成分，不是表示时间、地点或方式的普通状语。 类似的表达还有tell sb. of sth. || inform sb. of sth. || warn sb. of sth. || accuse sb. of (doing) sth. || clear sb. of sth. || cheat sb. of sth.

remind 在课文中是动词，对应的名词是reminder，我们可以把教材的句子改一下：That terrible tie is a reminder (of the things) (we don’t need.) 那条糟糕透了的领带就是我们不要买不必要的东西的提醒.

#### 'I find it beautiful,' I said.

简单句，主谓宾 + 宾补结构.

#### My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse!

复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，后面跟了一个that 引导的定语从句修饰a hat，关系代词 that 在从句中作主语，looked like a lighthouse 表示“看起来像灯塔”。like 是介词，a lighthouse 是介词宾语，不是 looked 的直接宾语。 beacon 也有灯塔的意思.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《你把那个叫帽子吗？》：嫌帽子不好看 → 等了半小时 → 劝她别买多余的东西 → 她拿领带来反驳 → 双方各有说辞 → 帽子终究买了。再借一个结构讲自己的事：选出文中的两个动作，哪个先发生？再用自己的经历写一对。
