課文詳注 Further notes on the text

1．Our neighbour, Captain Charles Alison, will sail from Portsmouth tomorrow. 我們的鄰居查爾斯·艾利森船長明天就要從樸次茅斯啟航了。

（1）這個句子以及本課的大部分句子用的是一般將來時（cf. 本課語法）

（2）句子的主語部分our neighbour 和Captain Charles Alison為同位語。（cf. 第4課語法）下文 He will be in his small boat,Topsail 中的Topsail 也為同位語。

2．We'll meet him at the harbour early in the morning. 明天一大早我們將在碼頭為他送行。

在表示時間的短語 in the morning, in the afternoon等前面可以再加上early, late等副詞，以便更確切地表示時間：

Tony will arrive late in the afternoon.

托尼下午晚些時候才能抵達。

3．Topsail is a famous little boat.“濤波賽”號是艘有名的小艇。

little除了表示形體上小的意義之外，還含有“可愛”的意思，是個帶有感情色彩的詞。如little Tom（小湯姆）就有一種親昵的味道。

4．It has sailed across the Atlantic many times．它已經多次橫渡大西洋。

across 是對某個細長物“橫切”、“橫斷”、“橫渡”等，尤指河流、馬路等等。

5．Captain Alison will set out at eight o'clock…艾利森船長將于8點鐘啟航……

set out在這里的意思是“出發”、“動身”，是固定短語。

6．We'll see his boat and then we'll say goodbye to him. 我們將參觀他的船，然后和他離別。

表示離別通常用 say goodbye (to sb.):

I have come to say goodbye (to you).

我是來（向你）告辭的。

7．We are very proud of him. 我們真為他感到自豪。

be proud of (sb.) 是個常用搭配，表示“為（某人）感到自豪”：

Mr. Baker is proud of his son.

貝克先生為他的兒子感到自豪。

8．He will take part in an important race across the Atlantic. 他將參加一次重大的橫渡大西洋的比賽。

take part (in) 是固定短語，表示“參加”、“參與（某項活動）”：

We all took part in the competition.

我們都參加了這次競賽。

語法 Grammar in use

一般將來時 (The simple future tense)

一般將來時由will（第1人稱時可用shall）加動詞原形構成，可用來預言將來發生的事，如說出我們設想會發生的事或者請對方預言將要發生什么事。will可用于所有人稱。當You and I為主語時，通常避免用shall:

You and I will work in the same office.

你和我將在同一個辦公室工作。

will在書面語和流利的口語中，在元音之后可以縮略為-'ll，如I'll, we'll, you'll等：

我們5點鐘回來。

-'ll在下列場合也可用于輔音之后：

人名之后：

Tom'll be here soon.

湯姆馬上就來這兒。

疑問詞之后：

When'll Mary be back?

瑪麗什么時候回來？

普通名詞之后：

The concert'll start in a minute.

音樂會一會兒就要開始了。

That film'll be on next Sunday.

那部影片下星期天上映。

在否定式中，will not可以縮略為-'ll not或 won't; shall not縮略為shan't（在美國英語中很少用shan't, 用shall表示將來也不常用）：

I/ we won't/ shan't go.

我／我們不會去。

Won't you have some cake?

你不吃點蛋糕嗎？
