新概念英語第二冊詳解第59課:In or out
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out ! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.

參考譯文
我家的狗雷克斯，過去常坐在大門外面叫。每當(dāng)它想到花園里來時，便汪汪叫個不停，直到有人把門打開。由于鄰居們對狗叫很有意見，所以我丈夫花了幾個星期的時間訓(xùn)練它用腳爪按住門閂把自己放進(jìn)來。雷克斯很快成了開門的專家。然而上星期我正要出去買東西時，發(fā)現(xiàn)它正呆在花園里邊靠門的地方。這次它叫著讓人把它放出去!從那以后，它養(yǎng)成了另外一種壞習(xí)慣。它從外面把門一打開，就走進(jìn)花園，等著門自動關(guān)上。這之后他就坐下汪汪叫起來，直到有人來把它放出去。出去之后，它又馬上把自己放進(jìn)來，接著再開始叫。昨天，我丈夫把門卸了下來，雷克斯很生氣，此后我們便再也沒有見到它。
自學(xué)導(dǎo)讀
1.Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.每當(dāng)它想到花園里來時，便汪汪叫個不停，直到有人把門打開。
every time在這里為連詞引導(dǎo)一個時間狀語從句，表示“每次”、“每當(dāng)”，主句中的would表示過去的習(xí)慣性動作。用一般過去時的句子中它們經(jīng)常連用：
Every time we met, we would talk for a while.
我們每次見面都要聊一會兒。
Every time he came to the restaurant, he would first ask for a cup of tea.
他每次到這個飯館來，都是先要一杯茶。
2.…my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.……我丈夫花了幾個星期的時間訓(xùn)練它用腳爪按住門閂把自己放進(jìn)來。
(1)spend表示“在……上花時間”時，后面如果跟名詞則用介詞on;如果跟動名詞則用介詞in(在口語中in往往省略)：
Why don't you spend more time on studies?
你為什么不在學(xué)習(xí)上再多花點時間呢?
I spent two weeks(in) reading this book.
我花了兩星期的時間讀這本書。
(2)train的賓語是him, to press…是賓語補足語，to let…為目的狀語。
3.Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.雷克斯很快成了開門的專家。
expert表示“做/干……的專家/高手”時后面通常用 at doing sth.;表示在某一領(lǐng)域是“專家”、“權(quán)威”時可用介詞in或on:
John is an expert at driving a car.
約翰是開車高手。
She is an expert in flowers.
她是花卉方面的專家。
Sam is an expert on that problem.
薩姆是研究那個問題的權(quán)威。
4.This time he was barking so that someone would let him out!這次它叫著讓人把它放出去!
連詞so that引導(dǎo)的是目的狀語從句。(cf.本課語法)
語法 Grammar in use
1.復(fù)習(xí)第50～58課語法
2.表示目的的幾種方式：to, in order to, so as to, so that, in order that
(1)帶to的不定式及其變體in order to和so as to 可以用來表示目的：
I went to live in France to/in order to/so as to learn French.
我去法國居住，以便學(xué)習(xí)法語。
not to可以用于表示取舍：
I went to France not to study French, but to study chemics.
我去法國不是為了學(xué)法語，而是為了學(xué)化學(xué)。
so as not to/in order not to可以用于表示“以防”：
I shut the door quietly, so as not to/in order not to wake the baby.
為了不驚醒嬰兒，我輕輕地關(guān)上門。
在bring, buy, need, take, use, want等動詞后經(jīng)常用賓語+不定式(而不用賓語+in order to/so as to)，不定式表示用賓語的目的：
I want something to drink.
我想要一點喝的東西。
I need a spoon to eat this ice cream with.
我需要一把湯匙來吃這冰淇淋。
Bring me a chair to sit on.
給我拿一把椅子來坐。
(2)連詞 so that, in order that可以引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句。當(dāng)主句用一般現(xiàn)在時、現(xiàn)在完成時或一般將來時的時候，so that和 in order that后面可以跟may, can或will。so that比in order that更為普遍：
I've arrived early so that/in order that I may/can/will get the tickets.
我到得早，以便能買到票。
當(dāng)主句中的動詞為一般過去時、過去進(jìn)行時或過去完成時的時候， so that和in order that后面跟should, could, might或would:
I arrived early so that/in order that I should/could/might/would get the tickets.
(譯文同上)
so that和in order that后面的否定形式如下：
I arrived early so that/in order that I might not miss anything.
我到得很早，以免錯過什么。(否定句中不可用could,可用should, would等)
(3)相比之下，帶to, so as to和 in order to的結(jié)構(gòu)比帶that的結(jié)構(gòu)要簡單、自然，所以多為人使用：
I arrived early so as not to/in order not to miss anything.(譯文同上)
當(dāng)前后主語不一致時，不定式前面加for+名詞/代詞比that結(jié)構(gòu)更簡潔

表達(dá)目的：to/in order to /in order that/ so as to /so that
to + 動詞原型， that+從句
目的狀語從句必須具備一個特征：在動詞前面一定要出現(xiàn)情態(tài)動詞
after this
got 是謂語動詞
have seen 也是謂語dc
so annoyed(that)
so...that...:如此...以致于，結(jié)果狀語從句，可以省略一個詞
so that 目的狀語從句，謂語動詞前面一定要要情態(tài)動詞

【Special difficulties】
表達(dá)目的的幾種方式?。簍o/in orderto /so as to +原型
in order that /so that +目的狀語從句
目的狀語從句當(dāng)中不存在want,只有to do
非謂語動詞的否定形式在結(jié)構(gòu)前面
如果發(fā)現(xiàn)do的動作不是由主語做的，而是由其他人做的，在do的前面加for sb
不定式的邏輯主語：for sb to do sth
【Multiple choice questions】

be opening 強調(diào)動作正在發(fā)生
has been doing 現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時強調(diào)從過去延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，并且還將延續(xù)
