# 68 · 纠缠不休

### 第1段

I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning. 'Hello, Nigel,' I said. 'Fancy meeting you here!' 'Hi, Elizabeth,' Nigel answered. 'I was just wondering how to spend the morning — until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you?' 'No, not at all,' I answered. 'I'm going to…' 'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking. 'Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.' 'Then I'll come with you,' he answered. 'There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!

中文理解：我为了避开他，穿过了马路，可他还是看见我，跑了过来。再装作没看见也没用了，我只好向他招手。 我向来不喜欢碰见奈杰尔·戴克斯。他总是无事可做，不管你多忙，都坚持要跟着你。我得想个办法，不能让他整个上午都跟着我。 我说：“你好，奈杰尔！真巧，在这儿碰见你！” 他回答：“你好，伊丽莎白！我刚才还在发愁这一上午怎么打发，正好就看见你了。你没在忙什么吧？” “没有，一点也不忙，”我说，“我正准备去……”我还没说完，他就问：“我跟你一起去，你不介意吧？” 我撒谎说：“不介意，不过我要去看牙医。”他回答：“那我就陪你去，候诊室里总有不少东西可看！”

* **avoid meeting**：避免遇见；avoid后用动名词，不说avoid to meet。

* **no use pretending**：假装也没用；no use后接doing，表达某做法无济于事。

* **No matter how**：无论多么；不管怎样；表示程度怎样都不改变后面的情况，后面仍需完整说明。

* **insists on**：坚持要；on是介词，接动作时用动名词。

* **preventing him from**：阻止他做……；from后用动名词，别只记prevent单词。

* **Would you mind**：你介意我……吗；my coming说明说话者想跟着去，是征求许可；不是请对方过来。日常口语也常说mind me doing。

#### I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me.

并列句，but 连接前后两句，前句为简单句，主谓宾结构；后句为并列句，主谓宾结构和主谓结构，running towards me 为现在分词短语作方式状语.

\[关键句型] 目的状语中，to avoid doing 这里，本身是动词不定式短语，我们在状语中额外拆分来看，存在动宾结构，去掉to 之后，avoid sth.，这里的doing 便是避免的对象，动名词作宾语.

#### It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him.

并列句，so 作连词，so 的前句为复合句，it 为形式主语，pretending…是真正的主语，该主语中有一个that 引导的从句作pretend 的宾语，这个属于额外细分；后句为主谓结构.

\[关键句型] pretending 为动名词作主语.

#### I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes.

简单句，主谓宾结构，动名词作宾语.

#### He never has anything to do.

简单句，主谓宾结构，anything 是 has 的宾语，to do 是修饰 anything 的不定式后置定语，表示“可做的事”，不是宾补。

#### No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you.

复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，动名词作宾语，句首是让步状语从句，主系表结构.

#### I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

简单句，主谓宾结构，本句的后置定语比较长.

#### 'Fancy meeting you here!'

简单句，本句是无主句，fancy 在这里是动词，used to show that you are surprised or shocked by sth （表示惊奇或震惊）真想不到，竟然，所以这里的动名词作宾语.

#### 'I was just wondering how to spend the morning — until I saw you.

复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，其中how 引导短语作宾语，后面until 引导了时间状语从句，主谓宾结构.

#### You're not busy doing anything, are you?'

主句是主系表结构的简单句，后面的are you 让本句成为了反意疑问句.

#### 'I'm going to…' 'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面的before 引导时间状语从句，为主谓宾结构，动名词speaking 作宾语.

#### 'Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.'

简单句，本句的I am going to 后面不是接动词原型，而是to 作介词，所以这里实际上谓语是am going，现在进行时，而不是be going to do 的一般将来时.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《纠缠不休》：想躲却躲不掉 → 他总爱跟着别人 → 表面热情地打招呼 → 他正愁没人作伴 → 话还没说完就被跟上 → 看牙医也甩不掉他。再借一个结构讲自己的事：从本课挑一个活动，把它放进 I enjoy…，再换成自己真正喜欢做的事。
