Notes on the text 课文注释

1  the local police,当地警察(局)。
2  call at,拜访,也可用call on。
3  he is not worried anymore,他不再担心了。
4  the policeman told him,警察告诉他。这是插入成分,在讲故事时常用这种方式。
5  the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away,那辆自行车在400英里以外的一个小村里被发现。pick up有“意外地找到”的意思。
6  It is now being sent to his home by train. 现在正用火车给他运回家来。当被动语态用于现在进行时中,要在助动词be后面加上-ing,再加上过去分词。
7  most surprised中的most有very的意思,常常与起形容词作用的过去分词连用。

参考译文

丹·鲁宾逊焦虑了整整一个星期。上星期二他收到当地警察局的一封信,要他到警察局去一趟。丹奇怪警察为什么找他,但昨天还是去了,结果他不再担心了。在警察局里,一位面带笑容的警察告诉他,他的自行车找到了。那位警察对他说,那辆自行车是5天前在400英里外的一个小村里发现的,现在正用火车给他运回家来。丹听到这个消息后,惊奇万分,但又感到非常好笑,因为他从未指望那辆自行车还能找到。这是20年前丹还是一个15岁的孩子时被人偷走的!
