======================語法常識回顧=================
1.當兩個動作都在過去發生,那末在有先后的情況下,第一個動作就用had+過去分詞。
例如:
· The children ran away.(孩子逃走了。)
· They broke the window.(他們打碎了窗戶。)
第一個動作顯然先要打碎窗戶,然后再逃之夭夭。所以連起來說就是:
·The children ran away after they had broken the window.
·After the children had broken the window they ran away.
例如:1)The sun set.(太陽下山了。)
2)We returned to our hotel.(我們回到旅店。)
·As soon as the sun had set we returned to our hotel.(太陽一下山,我們就回到旅店。)
2.When 有時也和過去完成式連用。
例 When he had finished lunch he asked for a glass of water.
當他吃完中午飯之后,他要討杯水喝。(有先后動作關系)
3. 關于 not···until 句型和過去完成式的關系。
I had not understood the problem until he explained it.
(直到他解釋了那個問題之后我才懂。)
這里有兩個動詞,一是“懂”,一是“解釋”,所以有先后關系。
比較:I did not understand the problem until last night.
在這句話里面,沒有先后的動詞關系,所以用 did not 。

===========《 Do You Speak English? 》============
____________________你會講英語嗎?________________
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.
{ 去年,我曾有過一段好笑的經歷。在我離開法國南部的一個小村莊之后,我繼續開車駛向下一個城鎮。}
On the way,a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all.
{在路上,一個年輕人向我招手。我停下車,他要求搭個便車。他一上車子,我就用法語向他道聲早安,而他用同樣的語言作了回答。除了懂僅有的幾句話以外,我壓根不懂什么法語。}
Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said,very slowly,"do you speak English?" As I soon learnt,he was English himself!
{旅途中,我們雙方都沒有說話。我快要到達那座城鎮時突然這位年青人說話了, 他說得很慢,“你會講英語嗎?”那時我馬上明白過來,他本身就是英國人!}
