How long had the police taken to find his bicycle?
Dan Robinson has been worried all week. Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried anymore. At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by train. Dan was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Dan was a boy of fifteen!

丹.魯賓遜焦慮了整整一個星期。上星期二他收到當地警察局的一封信，要他到警察局去一趟。丹奇怪警察為什么找他，但昨天還是去了，結果他不再擔心了。在警察局里，一位面帶笑容的警察告訴他，他的自行車找到了。那位警察對他說，那輛自行車是5天前在400英里外的一個小村里發(fā)現的，現在正用火車給他運回家來。丹聽到這個消息后，驚奇萬分，但又感到非常好笑，因為他從未指望那輛自行車還能找到。這是20年前丹還是一個15歲的孩子時被人偷走的!

自學導讀
1.Dan Robinson has been worried all week. 丹·魯賓遜焦慮了整整一個星期。
worried 在這里可以當成是形容詞，
表示“焦慮的”、“擔心的”。worry 也可以作及物動詞，表示“使擔心/發(fā)愁”等：
She appears to be worried by/ about something.
好像有什么事使她發(fā)愁。(用于被動語態(tài)時，過去分詞與形容詞意義差不多)
2.the local police，當地警察局。
local 可以表示“地方性的”或“當地的”、“本地的”：a local newspaper 地方性報紙
local news 本地新聞
local shops鄰近的商店
3.Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police…丹奇怪警察
為什么找他……
(1) wonder表示“想知道”時后面往往跟疑問詞引導的從句：She wondered who that man was/ what had happened. 她想知道那個人是誰/到底發(fā)生了什么事。
(2) want用于被動語態(tài)時可以表示“想與(某人見面、談話等)”或“緝拿”、“追捕”：
Please wait a minute. I'm wanted on the phone.
請等一下。有我的電話。
This is the man (who is) wanted by the police.
這就是警察在追捕的那個人。
4.a smiling policeman ，一位面帶笑容的警察。
smiling 為現在分詞，作定語，
其作用相當于形容詞。還可以說：
a sleeping dog 一只睡著的狗
a worried face 一張焦慮的臉
5.Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. 那位警察對他說，
那輛自行車是5天前在400英里外的一個小村里發(fā)現的。
(1)這句話實際上是一個間接引語(cf.第15課語法)，其正常語序應為： The policeman told him that five days ago the bicycle was picked up…
語序變化后，the policeman told him成了插入成
分，引導從句的that也被省略，引述的部分被分割成兩部分。
(2) four hundred miles away修飾 village，相當于從句 which wasfour hundred miles away。
(3) pick up的含義之一為“(偶然地、無意地)獲得”、“找到”、“學會”：
I've picked up a bad cold.
我得了重感冒。
I picked up some French while travelling in Paris.
在巴黎游覽期間我學了幾句法語。
He picked up the book in a small library.
他在一個小圖書館發(fā)現了那本書。
6.It is now being sent to his home by train.現在正用火車給他運回家來。
這句話是被動語態(tài)用于現在進行時，
其結構為“am/is/are+ be-ing+過去分詞”(cf.第10課語法)：
The clavichord is being repaired by a friend of my
father's.
父親的一個朋友正在修理這架古鋼琴。
語法 Grammar in use
被動語態(tài)(3)
在第10課的語法中，我們學習了被動語態(tài)的基本形式。一般說來，無論是主動語態(tài)還是被動語態(tài)，句子的主語往往是說話者認為比較重要或想要強調的。如果說話人想避免用不明確的詞(如 someone， a person等)作主語，就常常使用被動語態(tài)。在“動詞+賓語+不定式”結構中，既可以讓動詞用被動語態(tài)而不定式用主動語態(tài)，也可以讓不定式用被動語態(tài)：
Someone told Mary to meet us.
有人通知瑪麗來接我們。(主語不明確)
