复习doing的用法

否定前移

I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.

    ·原句：I think the windows don’t need cleaning at this time of the night.

    ·从句出现否定需要往主句上移，因为英语喜欢把逻辑都放在前面，让人一开始就知道这句话是否定

练习

我认为你不是错的

    ·I don't think you are wrong.

去年他相信这个计划将不会失败

    ·Last year, he didn't believe that the plan would fail.

·课文

    It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'

    'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'

    'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see, I've forgotten my key.'

    'Your what?' he called.

    'My key,' I shouted.

    Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.

must have been    对过去肯定的推测

    ·如果原句是 It was about two in the morning.    就表示一定是两点钟

I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. 

    ·try to do    尝试做某事

    ·wake up    叫醒

    ·ringing v.    按（玲）

    ·fast asleep    睡得很熟

    ·begin doing = begin t doing o do    开始做

need doing    需要做某事，主动形式表被动含义

I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'

    ·regret doing sth.    后悔做某事：对已经做过的某个行为感到懊悔或遗憾

    ·regret to do sth.    遗憾要做某事(动作还没发生) 

    ·enjoy 后面只能接 doing，享受做某事

So do I    我也是的

    ·当前面一句话的谓语也适用于后一句话时，可用 so （肯定） 或 neither （否定） 开头，然后接倒装语序

    ·Not only does my ex-husband have no biological link to Irina - neither do I.    不仅我的前夫和伊琳娜没有血缘关系，我也没有

Excuse my interrupting you.    

    ·Excuse 后面只能接 doing，my 是逻辑主语，原谅我的打断你，而动词原型开头的叫祈使句，被省略的主语就是说这句话所面对面的人。所以直译就是：你原谅我的打扰你，所以动作的这个逻辑主语是我，而不是主语的你，就需要用代名词来指定动作的发出者，68课有说。

I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'

    ·be busy doing sth.    忙于做某事

    ·would one's mind    某人介意吗

    ·would you mind coming with me    细说：这句话的 coming 没有加代名词，因为这个 coming 动作的发出者就是前面的 you，所以不需要逻辑主语

just as    正如，正当：表示两个事物或情况在某种程度上相似或相等

·知识拓展

So do I    我也是

So + 助动词 + sb.    某人也是

    ·什么是助动词？把正常的一句话变成一般疑问句的那个词就是助动词 

如：

A: I can swim.

B: So can I.

A: I felt excited after the party.

B: So did I/my friends.

Neither + 助动词 + sb.    某人也不是

A: I don't like my job.

B: Neither do I.

A: I will not miss the meeting.

B: Neither will I.
