有生以来第一次,他自豪地成了一张带弹簧和床垫的床的主人。
for the first time in one's life 表示“平生第一次”;the proud owner of... 是“自豪地拥有……”;可类比 He became the proud father of a baby. which had springs and a mattress 是定语从句,修饰 a bed。
Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.
因为天气非常热,他就把床搬到了自家屋顶上。
Because 引导原因状语从句;carry... on to... 表示“把……搬到……上面”。on to 和 in to 都带“移入某个位置”的意味,如 Lift sth. on to the cart. roof of his house 是地点表达。
He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up.

not...until... 表示“直到……才……”;had struck the ground 用过去完成时,强调“床先落地,人后醒来”。一个句子若出现两个动词,要么用 and/but 连接,要么把其中一个变成非谓语。

Glancing at... 是现在分词短语作伴随状语,可理解为 be glancing 的压缩;-ing 形式强调与相关名词的主动关系。bits = pieces。that lay around him 是定语从句;lie-lay-lain 是不及物动词,常说 lie around,不能说 lay him。只有谓语动词才会随时态变化。
After he had put it on the floor, he went to sleep again.

After he had put... 用过去完成时表示先后;promptly 表示“立即、迅速地”;went to sleep again 呼应开头“睡地板”的讽刺效果。

本课怎么学:Lesson 49 The end of a dream

本课讲德黑兰一位年轻人攒钱买了带弹簧和床垫的床,因天热搬到屋顶睡,第三夜风暴把床刮进院子;床碎了人却奇迹般未伤,最后只好把床垫放回地板再睡。标题既指「美梦告终」,也指愿望落空。

  1. 听朗读并对齐跟读先完整听一遍课文朗读,再开句级跟读高亮,按句跟读;重点听 had struck / swept … off / smashed to pieces 等叙事动词。
  2. 过本课核心词优先记 mattress、gust、sweep、smash、courtyard、miraculously、unhurt、promptly,并连回原句理解。
  3. 抓语法与常考题弄清过去完成时与一般过去时的先后(床先落地,人后醒),以及 not … until …、分词/形容词短语作状语;再做 1–2 道常考题核对理解。
  4. 标记学习进度跟读与精读完成后,把本课标为「学习中」或「已完成」,方便回访复述。

常见问题

新概念英语二 Lesson 49 重点是什么?
叙事时间线(买床—上屋顶—风暴—坠落—未伤再睡)以及过去完成时与一般过去时的配合;标题 The end of a dream 要结合结局理解成愿望落空,不只是字面「梦醒」。

用句级跟读高亮逐句跟读,特别留意 not … until … 与 After he had put … 这类先后关系句,跟读时心里标出「先发生 / 后发生」。
家长如何辅导 Lesson 49?
先让孩子用中文按时间线复述「床为什么上屋顶、后来发生了什么」,再对照原文找对应英语句;不必句句纠音,优先保证情节与时态顺序说对。
标题 The end of a dream 在文中通常有哪些含义?
既可指美好计划结束,也可引申为原本期待的事最终落空;要结合床碎、人仍睡在地板上的结局理解。

语法点

过去完成时 + 一般过去时

本课里先发生的是床已经撞地,后发生的是人醒来,所以用 had + 过去分词 来交代“先发生的过去动作”,再用一般过去时写后续动作。

相似句:
  • The bed had struck the ground before the young man woke up.
  • After he had put the mattress on the floor, he went to sleep again.

not ... until ...

本课原句 The young man did not wake up until ... 用来表达“直到……才……”,适合写动作延后发生,突出前面那件事先完成。

相似句:
  • He didn't wake up until the storm became stronger.
  • The child didn't cry until his mother left the room.

分词 / 形容词短语作状语

开头的 Tired of sleeping on the floor 和后面的 Glancing at the bits of wood and metal 都不是完整谓语,而是用来补充人物状态或伴随动作,和主语保持逻辑一致。

相似句:
  • Tired after the long walk, he lay down on the bed at once.
  • Looking round the room, she found her bag on the floor.

定语从句贴着名词补充信息

课文里 a bed which had springs and a mattress、the bits of wood and metal that lay around him 都是在名词后面补充说明,帮助把对象说具体。

相似句:
  • He bought a house which stood on a hill.
  • She picked up the books that were lying under the desk.

读写提示

  • 记叙类复述先排时间线:愿望、行动、突变、结果、感受。
  • 写突发天气/事故时可积累 suddenly, a gust of, at once, promptly 等连接词。
  • 过去完成时只在需要强调先后时使用,不必句句都写 had。
  • 标题类题目可先解释字面义,再点出文中深层含义(愿望落空)。

letter writing

  • 书信写作
  • 第二行如要退格是退5个字符, 现在西方都是顶格写.
  • 写business letter, 参照范本
