Lesson 44
Through the forest
穿過(guò)森林
First listen and then answer the question.
聽(tīng)錄音,然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
How did Mrs. Sterling get her bag back?
Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. The strap needs mending, said Mrs. Sterling later, but they did not steal anything.

穿過(guò)森林
安.斯特林夫人在穿過(guò)森林追趕兩個(gè)男人時(shí),她并沒(méi)有考慮到所冒的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。剛才,當(dāng)她和孩子們正在森林邊上野餐的時(shí)候,這兩個(gè)人沖到她跟前,企圖搶走她的手提包。在爭(zhēng)搶中,手提包的帶斷了,包落入這兩個(gè)人手里,他們拔腿跑進(jìn)了樹(shù)林。斯特林夫人非常氣憤,向著他們追了過(guò)去。只追了一會(huì)兒便上氣不接下氣了,但她還是繼續(xù)追趕。當(dāng)她趕上他們時(shí),發(fā)現(xiàn)他們已經(jīng)坐了下來(lái),正翻著包里的東西。于是她直沖過(guò)去。這兩個(gè)人嚇了一跳,扔下提包逃跑了。“這提包帶需要修理,”斯特林夫人事后說(shuō)道,“不過(guò)他們什么也沒(méi)偷走。”

run (straight) at (at 強(qiáng)調(diào)瞄準(zhǔn),一般與straight相連都用at, lesson35也有類似句型)
need用法除lesson41外的又一種情況:
needn't可以回答must開(kāi)頭的疑問(wèn)句,只能用在肯定句中,可以直接加動(dòng)詞-ing
need doing:需要做,需要被做
① 這里need屬于實(shí)義動(dòng)詞, 動(dòng)詞ing相當(dāng)于名詞來(lái)理解
② 有時(shí)態(tài)和人稱變化,否定式為: don’t need doing
③ need doing 表達(dá)被動(dòng)含義, 如: Your shoes need washing. 你的鞋子需(被)洗了
另外:want doing :也是用主動(dòng)表示被動(dòng)含義
它們的主語(yǔ)一定是物, 不是人: Your hair needs cuting.
need to be done---主語(yǔ)是人,也可以是物
總結(jié):
1.never/not think of the risk she was taking
2.with sth.in one's possession
3.need doing
