Key structures关键句型

 

After he had finished work he went home. 过去完成时

在第1册的第119-120课,我们第一次接触到了过去完成时。有人认为,过去完成时是表示“很久以前发生的事情”,这个概念是错误的。过去完成时常常用来表示发生在过去的两个事件、动作中哪一个发生在前。

Read these two sentences.

读一读这两句话。

He finished work. He went home. 他结束了工作。他回家了。

We can join these two sentences together with the word after.

我们可以用after把这两句话连在一起。

We can say:我们可以说:

After he had finished work he went home. 他结束了工作。他回家了。

Note how these sentences have been joined. Pay close attention to the words in italics.

注意以下句子是如何连在一起的,要特别注意用斜体印出的词。

The children ran away. They broke the window. 孩子们跑了。他们打碎了玻璃。

The children ran away after they had broken the window. 孩子们打碎了玻璃之后跑了。

The sun set. We returned to our hotel. 太阳下山了。我们回到了旅馆。

As soon as the sun had set we returned to our hotel. 太阳一下山我们就回到了旅馆。

He finished lunch. He asked for a glass of water. 他吃完了中午饭。他要一杯水。

When he had finished lunch he asked for a glass of water. 他吃完中午饭后要了一杯水。

I did not understand the problem. He explained it. 我不懂这个问题。他解释了。

I had not understood the problem until he explained it. 在他解释之前我不懂这个问题。
