# 48 · 你想对我说什么吗？

### 第1段

Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer. My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool. He knew I collected match boxes and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

中文理解：牙医总爱在你没法回答时问问题。我的牙医刚拔了我一颗牙，叫我先休息一会儿。 我想说点什么，可嘴里塞满了棉花。 他知道我收集火柴盒，便问收藏是不是又增加了。接着，又问我哥哥近况如何，喜不喜欢在伦敦的新工作。 我只能点点头，或发出一些奇怪的声音来回应。 与此同时，我一直用舌头寻找刚拔过牙的那个缺口。我突然十分着急，却什么也说不出来。 等牙医终于取出棉花，我才告诉他：他拔错牙了。

* **pulled out**：拔出；本课宾语是牙齿；动作对象不同含义也会变化。

* **rest for a while**：休息一会儿；for说明休息多久；a while指短暂一段时间。

* **full of**：装满；充满；可以说容器装满，也可以说充满感受；full 是形容词。

* **In answer to**：作为对……的回答；answer作名词，后用to，不用of。

* **made strange noises**：发出奇怪的声音；noise可数时指具体声响；本课不是正常说话。

* **the wrong tooth**：弄错的那颗牙；wrong指出选错对象，可迁移为the wrong bus等。

#### 标题与阅读提示

0. 标题

Did you want to tell me something? 一般疑问句，动词不定式短语作宾语，这里宾语之中可以额外予以分析，tell sb. sth. 双宾语结构.

#### Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面是when 引导的时间状语从句，it 是形式主语，真正主语是整个不定式结构 for you to answer，其中 for you 指明 answer 的逻辑主语，不是由介词短语 for you 单独充当主语。

#### My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构，动词短语作谓语；后句为主谓宾 + 宾补结构. one of 后面的名词一定要用复数形式，这里的teeth 就是tooth 的复数形式.

#### I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool.

并列句，but 连接前后两句，前句主谓宾结构，动词不定式作宾语；后句主系表结 构.

#### He knew I collected match boxes and asked me whether my collection was growing.

并列复合句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓 + 宾语从句结构，该从句省略了引导词that，为主谓宾结构；后句为省略了主语的主谓宾 + 宾语从句结构，whether 引导直接宾语从句，my collection 是主语，was growing 是谓语，表示藏品是否在增加。

#### He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London.

复合句，主句为主谓宾 + 宾语从句结构. 其中宾语从句有两句，由and 连接，句子结构上是并列的，一个由how 引导，一个由whether 引导.

#### In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises.

并列句，either 和or 均为连词，不作具体的成分，本句是两个句子并列的，一个是I nodded. 主谓结构；另一个是I made noises. 主谓宾结构.

#### Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been.

复合句，主句为主系表结构，be busy (in) doing sth. 可参看第40课第1段第4句. 后面是where 引导的定语从句，这里不是地点状语从句，主谓结构.

#### I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything.

并列句，but 连接前后两句，前句为主系表结构；后句为主谓宾结构.

#### When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

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

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《你想对我说什么吗？》：偏在不能说话时提问 → 嘴里塞满棉花 → 他一个问题接一个 → 只能点头或发声 → 摸到缺口，心里着急 → 终于能说出真相。再借一个结构讲自己的事：用本课一个请求练一遍，再说自己最近请别人帮忙做了什么。
