He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather. 参考译文我的老朋友哈里森在回到英国以前曾多年居住在地中海地区。

过去他常梦想退休后到英国，并打算在乡间安排下来他刚一回到英国便买下了一幢房子住了进去但紧接着他就开头埋怨那里的天气了由于即使那时仍为夏季，但雨总是下个不停，而且经常冷得厉害在阳光下生活了那么多年的哈里森对此感到惊异他的举动就似乎他从未在英国生活过一样最终，他再也忍受不住，还没等安排下来就卖掉了房子，离开了这个国家他多年来的梦想从今破灭哈里森把每件事情都考虑到了，唯独没想到天气 【课文讲解】1、He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country.dream of… 想, 梦见(幻想)，梦想，憧憬 Frank used to dream of having a car of his own. think of… 想(思维的活动), 考虑settle down 定居，安家，安排 After two years of traveling, I want to settle down now. 2、He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.no sooner…than… 一……就……（关联词，引导时间状语从句，主句里常用过去完成时，than后面的从句用一般过去时），一样用法的还有as soon as，the moment，on doinghad no sooner done…than +一般过去时, 固定用法 (时态构造 : 完成时态 + than + 一般过去时)He had no sooner arrived than he called me up.no sooner放在句首就要倒装No sooner had he arrived than he called me up. (倒装) 3、Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold.almost immediately 几乎立刻, 很快地 (时间上的快, 常用于写作)for（连词）表示由于(解释说明, 附加的)＝because由于（肯定要说的缘由），for与because不同，不能用于句首，并且在for后面必需重复主语： I don’t have a car, for I can’t afford it. even though =even if 即使，虽然（引导让步状语从句）Even though I came here, my mind was absent. 尽管我人来了, 但我还是心不在焉 4、After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock.so many years 这么多年after it rained for days = after so many days of rain 在这么多天雨之后After seven years of hard work, he was successful.After ten years of staying in abroad, he decided to return and settle down.got a shock 吓了一跳, 吃了一惊 5、He acted as if he had never lived in England before.as if+句子 好像, 似乎（引导表示方式的状语从句，假如从句为过去完成时则是虚拟语气，描述与事实相反, 后面的条件是假的）He acted as if he was poor. (as if 后是真是假, 应依据上下文来看)My leg hurts as if it was broken.连词as if/though引导方式状语从句，通常跟在描述行为举止的动词之后，如act，appear，feel，look，smell，sound等后面： She acted as if she were mad. （虚拟语气） It feels as if/though it’s going to rain. 6、In the end, it was more than he could bear.more than在这里表示“超过……的范围” This piece of news is more than I can believe. It was more than I could understand.I can”t affard it. ＝ It was more than I can affard.这种用法与它通常表示“比……更多”的用法稍有不同： There were more than ten people in the room. 7、He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.hardly…when… 还没来得及……就……，用法同no sooner…thanhardly had sb. done when… (hardly在句首, 要倒装)He had hardly opened his eyes when he was knocked out.（knock out : 打晕, 击倒）have time to do sth. 有时间做某事I have no time to talk with you. 我没时间和你说话I have time enough to have coffee. 我有足够的时间喝咖啡 【Composition】1 He bought an old car. It was in a very bad state.(but)2 The engine was worn out. The gearbox was full of sawdust. (The engine…not only…but…as well)3 He could not drive it. He could no sell it. He could not even give it away. (neither…nor…nor) 1. in a bad state 状态不太好though 虽然, even though＝even if 即使，这些词消失在两句之间, 就不再加but，2. The engine was not only worn out but the gearbox was full of sawdust.wo。
