Come，come．Get him his change，Tod．

When the manager first saw the customer， he thought he was only a poor fellow and could not afford to buy expensive clothes． So he just asked his assistant to serve the cus－tomer and told him to show the customer the cheapest clothes．

（When he realized that the customer was a millionaire） Goodness me！ Six zeros！ I’ve never seen anything like this before．To sell such a suit as that to a millionaire！Tod’s a fool．Please get those things off， sir， and throw them into the fire． Do me the favor to put on this shirt， and this suit…

Key： 1） Because she wanted to see which shops offered the best advice and service． 2）Before the research she thought that the shop assistants in the best wine shops might judge their customers by their clothes． 3） The journalist put on a long raincoat and did up the but－tons in such a way that one button at the bottom was not done up． She was dressed like this because she wanted to test what she had thought before the research． 4） Because she wanted to know if the shop assistant would offer the best advice．5） She said this in order to show that she could afford to buy expensive wines．But what she wanted was only good，ordinary wine． So in this way she was testing the shop assistants whether they would offer the best advice． 6） She went to at least six wine shops． Not all the shops treated her kindly and well．

5．布置作業 1）預習第11單元；2）完成練習冊中安排的練習。

四、難句分析

1．I’m not that foolish．我還不至于愚蠢到那種地步。

“that”為副詞，意為“那樣（so），達到那樣地步（to such a degree）”。例如：

Do you think the problem of pollution is that serious？你認為污染問題有那么嚴重嗎？

After that she never came back that late．打那以后，她再也不回來得那樣晚了。

Can hard work change a person that much？難道勞累能使人變化那么大嗎？

另外，“this”也有同樣的用法。如：

Why did you ask for this much？你為什么要得這么多？

2．It looks as if it hasn’t been washed following the instructions．看來好像沒按說明來洗滌。

It looks as if…意為：看來似乎……，看來好像……。例如：

It looks as if they have to walk home．看來他們得走回家了。

It looks as if she is not so healthy as she used to be．看來她好像沒有以前那么健康。

It looks as if they haven’t finished the work yet．看來他們似乎還沒完成工作。

following the instructions在句中作方式狀語，相當于according to the instructions的意思。例如：

You should do things following the rules．你應當依照規章辦事。

3．I insist that you give me my money back．我堅持你把錢退還給我。

insist后跟that從句，從句中謂語動詞用should+動詞原形，是虛擬語氣的一種用法。其中，should可以省略，意為：“堅決要求”。例如：

I insist that we（should）write to her immediately．我堅持認為我們該立刻給她寫信。

They insisted that Miss Li（should）report this to the manager himself．他們堅持要李小姐把這事報告給經理本人。

insist還可跟on/upon，接名詞或-ing形式。意為“堅持要求某事或做某事”。例如：

They insisted on visiting the hospital the next day．他們一定要第二天參觀醫院。

Why did you insist upon a reply from them？為什么你一定要他們答復？

4．I just didn’t want to put you to the trouble of changing a large note．只不過我不想麻煩你破開一張大票子罷了。

put sb．to the trouble意為：給某人添麻煩。例如：

I hope we haven’t put you to any trouble．希望我們沒有給你添麻煩。

I’m sorry for putting you to so much trouble．給你添了許多麻煩，真是過意不去。

He didn’t want to put me to the trouble of meeting him at the station．他不想麻煩我去車站接他。

5．To sell such a suit as that to a millionaire！竟然把這樣一套衣服賣給一位百萬富翁！

這是不定式的一種特殊用法，相當于一個感嘆句，常常用來表示驚異、氣憤、祝愿等情緒。例如：

To think he knew about it all the time！沒想到他一直知道這件事！

Oh！To be youny again．啊，要能再年輕就好了。（本句可以理解為：How wonderful it is to be young again�。�

To ask such silly questions！竟然提出了這樣的傻問題！（本句可以理解為：How silly you are to ask such questions！）

6．She did up the buttons in such a way that one at the bottom was not done up．她這樣扣鈕扣，最底下的那個不扣上。

do up意為：扣、系、包等。例如：

Do up your shoes，please．把鞋帶系好。

Why didn’t you do all the bottons up？你為什么不把扣子都扣上？

You’ve done up your bottons the wrong way．你把鈕扣扣錯了。

do up還可解釋為：收拾、整理、修理、打扮。

She did herself up before going to the party．去晚會前她打扮了一下。

Why is he always doing up his hair？他干嗎總是整理頭發？
