# 52 · 漂亮的地毯

### 第1段

We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time, then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'

中文理解：我们刚搬进新家，我整个上午都在忙着收拾自己的新房间。这可不容易，因为我有一千多本书。 更麻烦的是，房间还很小，我只好暂时把书放在地上。现在，地板上每一寸地方都铺着书，进出房间都得踩着它们走。 刚才，姐姐帮我把一个旧书柜搬上楼。 她走进房间，看见满地的书，吃了一惊，说：“这是我见过的最漂亮的地毯。” 她看了一会儿，又说：“你根本不需要书柜。空闲时坐在这里，读这块地毯就行了！”

* **in order**：整齐；井然有序；本课是把房间整理好，不是in order to的目的用法。

* **To make matters worse**：更糟的是；接着补出更不利的情况，需要与前面的困难建立递进关系。

* **At the moment**：此刻；目前；交代此刻或当前阶段，常用来说明眼下在做什么。

* **a big surprise**：意料之外的事；惊喜；把意外的事作为整体表达；surprise 在这里是可数名词。

* **gazed at**：凝视；比look at更强调持续注视，at不能省略。

* **in your spare time**：在你的空闲时间；spare在此表示空闲，不是备用零件的意思。

#### We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，均为主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 本句便是本课所需要复习的语法点，前句为现在完成时，已经完成了搬家的工作；后句为现在完成进行时，表示收拾家的工作在这一早上一直在忙着呢，对现在来说也有了些结果，收拾了一部分了，还需要继续收拾.

#### I have been trying to get my new room in order.

简单句，主谓宾结构，不定式短语整体作宾语可以这样理解to get my new room .

#### This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.

复合句，主句主系表结构，后面是because 引导的原因状语从句，主谓宾结构.

#### To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.

并列句，so 是连词，前句为主系表结构；后句为主谓宾结构.

#### At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构；后句为主谓结构. they 指书籍.

#### A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs.

简单句，按传统分析是主谓宾 + 宾语补足语结构：me 是 helped 的宾语，to carry… 说明 me 所做的动作，因此是宾补，不是主语补语。help 后的不定式也可以省略 to。

#### She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor.

复合句，主句是并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句主谓结构；后句为省略了主语的主谓宾结构，最后是跟了一个when 引导的时间状语从句，主谓宾结构.

#### 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said.

复合句，主句主系表结构，后面是省略了that 的定语从句，内部应按主谓宾理解，关系代词 that 作 seen 的宾语，因可省略而未出现。

#### She gazed at it for some time, then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all.

并列句，引号里面的内容是简单句，主谓宾结构，此处不额外分析了.

gazed 与 added 是共用主语 she 的两个相继动作，then 表示“随后”。一个主语可以带并列谓语，不能仅因出现两个动词就判定句子有误；也不能认为加一个逗号便自动变成两个完整句子。学习时可用 and then 明确动作衔接。

#### You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'

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you 的主谓宾结构.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《漂亮的地毯》：搬家后忙着整理 → 地板全被书占了 → 姐姐来帮搬书柜 → 她说这是最美的地毯 → 坐下来读地毯就好。再借一个结构讲自己的事：本句更关心做了多久，还是完成了多少？换自己的学习过程说一句。
