新概念英语第二册Lesson49课文详注
1.Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. 德黑兰的一个年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦，于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床。
(1)tired引导的分词短语省略了开头的being，其作用相当于原因状语从句：As he was tired of…。sleeping为动名词，作介词of的宾语。
(2)save up为固定短语，表示“储蓄”、“攒钱”：
I want to get married in one or two years, so I'm trying to save(some money)up.
我想一两年之间内结婚，所以我在设法攒钱。
(3)to在这里用于表示目的，相当于in order to：
I got up early to have a swim.
为了游泳我起了个大早。
2.…he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.……他便把床搬到了他的屋顶上。
介词onto可拼写成一个词，也可拼写成两个词(on to)。它用于表示动作方向而不用于表示静态的位置(与into相似)：
I put the pen onto/ on the table.
我把笔放到桌子上。
The pen is on the table.
笔在桌子上。(不可用onto/ on to)onto/ on to有时可用on代替，但表示位置的on不可用onto代替：
Mr. Thompson jumped onto the stage.
汤普森先生跳上了台上。
Mr. Thompson jumped on the stage.
汤普森先生在台上跳了跳。
3.A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof…一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来……
gust表示“一阵强风”、“一阵狂风”，既可以单独使用，也可以用a gust of wind形式：
A gust(of wind) blew my hat off.
一阵大风吹掉了我的帽子。
She set off even though the wind was blowing in gusts.
虽然当时阵阵狂风吹着，她还是出发了。
4.The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.那年轻人直到床撞到地上才醒了过来。
not…until表示“直到……才”。until后面与表示某一点的时间状语连用。它前面没有not时，与表示一段时间的“持续动词”连用;有not时，常用表示某一时间点的动词(或叫瞬间动词)连用：
I'll stay here until Monday.
我要在这儿呆到星期一。
I won't leave until Monday.
我要到星期一才离开。
5.to pieces, 粉碎地，成碎片地。
The cup was broken to pieces.
杯子摔成了碎片。
6.Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man…
年轻人看了一眼周围的碎木片和碎金属片……
(1)glancing为现在分词，它引导的短语相当于一个时间状语从句：After he glanced at…
(2)动词glance的主要含义为“看一眼”、“扫视”：
Ian glanced at his watch and left the room.
伊恩看了一眼手表，然后离开了房间。
Joe glanced through the newspaper while talking to me.
乔一边和我聊天，一边浏览报纸。
(3)that引导的关系从句修饰the bits of wood and metal, that在从句中作主语。

我下个月去度假。

(2)take在句中的含义为“花费(时间)”。take表示此含义时，主语通常不用人，而用某件事，并常用带先行主语it的结构：

走到车站/修理自行车花了我半个小时的时间。
2.I'll tell you where to get off.我会告诉您在哪儿下车。
(1)where to get off是一个“连接副词+不定式短语”结构，其中的连接副词通常为疑问副词。这种结构接近一个名词从句，常
在tell, show, know, decide, teach, learn, wonder,
remember, explain等动词后作宾语：

玛丽告诉你什么时候来了吗?
Do you know how to open the box?
你知道如何打开这盒子吗?
He didn't tell me where to put those books.
他没有告诉我把那些书放在哪里。
(2)get off与 get on为一对反义词，分别表示“(从汽车等上)下来”和“登上(汽车、火车等)”，off与on既可以作副词又可以作介词：

in front of则表示“在……前面”，两者间往往有距离：

他把车停在一个学校前面。
(2)不定式短语to get…在句子中作目的状语。(cf.第49课语法)
4.This is as far as we go.我们的车就到此为止了。
as far as表示“到……程度/限度”、“就……的限度而言”：
As far as I know, they haven't returned from abroad.
就我所知，他们还没有从国外回来。
This is as far as I can help you.
我所能帮你的仅止于此。
5.I forgot to put you off.我忘了让您下车了。
put off的含义之一是“让……下车(或飞机、船等)”：

他们让我在一个小站下了车。
6.Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus.好吧，既然如此，我还是留在车上吧。
(1)well单独使用时通常为感叹词，有时表示同意、顺从、踌躇等情感，有时则仅起连接作用，相当于汉语的“嗯”、“噢”、“喔”等。
(2)in that/this case表示“既然是这/那样”、“假使那/这样的话”：
Is he one of your best friends? In that/this case, you may invite him.
他是你的朋友之一吗?既然如此，你可以邀请他。

她正在节食。
I once went on a diet for a week and then I gave up.
我曾经节食过一周，然后就放弃了。
2.First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.首先，他开列了一张长长的单子，上面列了所有禁吃的食物。

include和contain都有“包含”的意思，但contain可以用于表示所包含的全部事物，include则只表示其中的一部分：
It included three bags of sweets.
其中有3袋糖果。(另外还有其他东西)
contain的主语通常为某个容器，include则含义更广：
Does the bill include a tip?
账单包括小费吗?

as ever是as he ever was的省略形式。as…as ever这个结构表示“照旧”、“依然”：
He is as strong as ever.
他依然那么强壮。
6.It was obvious that he was very embarrassed.显然他感到很尴尬。
it为先行主语，真正的句子主语是that引导的从句，它在句子中起名词的作用。从句作主语时通常前面用先行主语it，以免句子看上去头重脚轻：
It is certain now that he'll come on Monday.
现在可以肯定他星期一将会来。
