【Text】

Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths. He has just bought a new house in the

city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners. When he returns home at night, he

always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own

car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any

effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him

what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to

stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

參考譯文

賈斯珀.懷特是少有的相信古代神話的人之一. 他剛在城里買下一所新房子, 但自從搬進去后, 就和汽

車及車主們發生了磨擦. 當他夜里回到家時, 總是發現有人把車停在他家大門外. 為此, 他甚至一次也沒

能把自己的車開進車庫. 賈斯珀曾把幾塊“禁止停車” 的牌子掛在大門外邊, 但沒有任何效果. 現在他把

一個丑陋的石雕頭像放在了大門上邊, 這是我見過的最丑陋的頭像之一. 我問他那是什么?他告訴我那是

蛇發女怪美杜莎. 賈斯珀希望她把汽車和車主們都變成石頭. 但到目前為止還沒有一個變成石頭呢!

【課文講解】

1、Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths.

one of +名詞/代詞其中之一（of后面的名詞必須是復數，但與這個結構連用的動詞必須是單數）

One of your friends is waiting for you now.

如果在定語從句中出現了one of作為先行詞, 它后邊的關系代詞指代的是后面的復數名詞；如果在one

of前面還有一修飾詞(the) only,那么后邊的關系代詞將指代one這個詞, 才作單數看

He is the only one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.

one of 直接作主語的時候, 它是做單數看待的

One of the answers is ture.

One of those people is good.

believe vt. 相信，認為

Do you believe that cats eat grass?

believe in 信任，信賴（人格、力量等）；信仰；相信……的存在，相信……的價值

I believe in God. 我信仰上帝。

I’ve never believed in John.

2、He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and

their owners.

145

新概念英語第二冊筆記

ever since =since 從那以后一直（ever since的語氣比since強，主句一般用完成時）

I’ve been interested in flying ever since I was a boy.

He left the village last year and has never returned ever since.

have trouble doing 做……有麻煩

have trouble with sb. 和某人相處有麻煩

I have trouble with my roommate.

3、Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once.

because只能作連詞用，后面接從句

You can’t remember his name, because you aren’t really thinking.

because of 由于，介詞短語，后面不可以跟從句，只能跟名詞、代詞或動詞“-ing”

He came back early because of the rain.

be able to 的主語一般都是人, 表示有能力去做；can 表示天生的或學到的能力時，只能用于現在時和

過去時（could），而不可用于將來時。將來時中表示能力時必須用be able to。在現在時和過去時中，can/could

與be able to一般可以互換，在完成時中一般用be able to。

Tom is only 9 months old and he is already able to stand up.

I’ll be able to pass my driving test after I’ve had a few lessons.

get sth. into 把……弄進

get his car into his garage

drive the car into 把車子撞上……

I drove the car into the wall /tree.

even once 甚至一次（even 起強調）

4、It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.

“I have ever seen” 做定語從句, 修飾前邊的faces

如果關系詞在從句中做賓語, 關系詞可以省略, 所以I 前的which被省略

This is the most difficult thing I have ever done.

This is the most terrible news I have ever heard.

有兩個結構一定用最高級：

of+范圍

of all the students

in+地點

He is the tallest in the room.

5、Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone.

hope 的后面加that 從句

turn sth. to… 把前者變成后者

turn the prince to a frog

He was turned to a frog.

They have turned the famous beauty spot to/into an ugly place.

146

【Special Difficulties】

關系從句及關系代詞

關系從句又可稱為定語從句或形容詞從句，它像形容詞一樣可以形容人、物及事件。關系從句可分為

限定性關系從句（不帶逗號）和非限定性關系從句（帶逗號）。

表示人的關系代詞：who，whom，that，whose（口語中whom經常由who代替）

表示事物和動物的關系代詞：which，that

關系代詞可以有四個概念:

① 代人的, 做主語或賓語who，只做賓語的whom

② 代物的, 做主語或賓語which

③ 代人的也可以代物的做主語或賓語that

④ whose其代表的東西由其在句子中的成分_____決定(不一定指人)

關系代詞后面要加從句，先行詞放在定語從句前面, 而且是兩句話共同含有的詞, 還是被定語從句修飾

的詞

I have a book that/which he likes.( “book” 為先行詞“that/which” 為關系代詞)

關系代詞有兩個功能: 一是承上, 一是啟下(如上句中的“book” 作從句的賓語)

The boy who is standing at the door is my brother.

I can do anything that I can do. 我愿意做我力所能及的事情來幫助你

The boat whose name is...

I have a house whose windows are broken. 我有一個房子, 房子的窗戶都破了.

關系代詞在關系從句中作賓語時往往可以省略，作主語時則不可以。

The millionaire whose son ran away from home a week ago is not a kink father.

whose 后面一定要加一個名詞, 然后這個部分共同做主語或賓語

The boy whose sister is standing at the door is my brother.

妹妹站在門口的男孩是我弟弟

The pilot whose plane landed in a field was not hurt.

Exersise(在需要的地方填上who, which, that或whose)

1 The only games ______ I play are football and tennis.

不填（如果要填只能是that, 在從句中作賓語可省略）

先行詞如果用only, 序數詞, 形容詞最高級修飾, 其后邊的關系詞只用that

4 This is the hotel at ______ we are staying.

which

句中的“at” 原來在“staying” 的后邊

介詞后加物的話, 只加which,加人的話, 用whom, 都不可用that,who也不能

She is the girl who/whom/that I stayed with. (句中“who/whom/that” 可省略)

She is the girl with whom I stayed.

That is the house in which I live.

6 That is the horse ______ won the race.

which

選which , 不能用that，句子中用詞避免重復, 句首已有了一個“that” , 故選“which” 而不是“that”

Who is the man that is helping you? 誰是那個正在幫助你的人?（不用“who”避免重復）

7 He is the sort of person ______ everyone admires.

不填

person 是先行詞, 在從句中做賓語
