Lesson 59 In or out?100%
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark.
我家的狗雷克斯过去常常坐在前门外面叫个不停。
used to do 表示“过去常常”；outside our front gate 是地点状语；bark 在本课里专指“狗叫”，但也可引申为“怒吼”。
Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.
每当它想进花园时，就一直叫到有人把门打开为止。
every time 相当于 when，表示“每当”；would bark 在这里也表示过去反复发生的动作；not...until 的正面对应结构是 keep doing until...，强调动作持续到某一时刻。
As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.
由于邻居们抱怨狗叫太吵，我丈夫花了几个星期训练它用脚爪按门闩，把自己放进来。
as 引导原因状语从句；complain of 表示“抱怨……”；spend time doing 是高频结构；train sb. to do 表示“训练某人做某事”；to let himself in 是目的状语。
Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.
雷克斯很快就成了开门专家。
become an expert at/in doing sth. 表示“在做某事方面很内行”；opening the gate 在这里用动名词作介词宾语。
However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate.
可是上星期当我正要外出买东西时，我注意到它正待在花园里、靠近大门的地方。
go out shopping 中 out 强调“外出”；when I was going... 是过去进行时背景；notice sb. somewhere 表示“注意到某人在某处”。
This time he was barking so that someone would let him out!
这一次，它叫唤竟然是为了让人把它放出去！
so that 在本句中引导目的状语从句，后面有 would，符合“目的从句前常带情态动词”的特征；let sb. out 和前文 let himself in 形成照应与反转。
Since then, he has developed another bad habit.
从那以后，它又养成了另一个坏习惯。
since then 表示“从那时起直到现在”，常与现在完成时连用；develop a habit 表示“养成习惯”。
As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts.
它一从外面把门打开，就走进花园，等到大门自己关上。
as soon as 强调“一……就……”；时间状语从句里用一般现在时表示将来；wait until... 表示“等到……为止”。from the outside 明确方向。
Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out.
然后它坐下汪汪叫，直到有人把它放出去。
sits and barks 用 and 连接两个并列谓语；until someone lets him out 再次形成循环结构，也推动全文幽默效果。
After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again.
接着它又立刻自己把门弄开进来，然后重新叫起来。
let oneself in 是固定搭配；immediately 强调动作紧接发生；begins barking again 表示这个坏习惯开始重复循环。
Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
昨天我丈夫把门卸了下来，雷克斯气坏了，从那以后我们就再也没见过它。
remove the gate 表示“把门拆掉”；so annoyed 后省略了 that，完整结构是 so...that...；we have not seen him since 里的 since 单独放句尾，等于 since then。

语法点
used to / would 表示过去反复动作
本课里 used to sit 和 would bark 都用来写过去经常发生的习惯性动作。used to 更适合交代过去状态，would 更适合放进叙事循环里。
相似句：
- Rex used to sit outside the gate every evening.
- Whenever he saw me, he would run to the door and bark.
目的表达：to do / so that ... would ...
train him to press... 用不定式表达目的；he was barking so that someone would let him out 则用 so that 从句把目的写得更完整。
相似句：
- My husband trained him to open the gate with his paw.
- He barked so that someone would come and help him.
时间链：every time / as soon as / until
本课的笑点建立在动作循环上，所以大量使用时间连词串起“每次想进来 - 一开门 - 一直等到关上”的过程。
相似句：
- Every time the bell rang, the dog rushed to the gate.
- As soon as the door shut, he began barking again until someone opened it.
so...that... 的省略现象
Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since. 这里口语化地省略了 that，完整表达应是 so annoyed that...。
相似句：
- He was so tired that he fell asleep at once.
- The child was so excited that he could not keep still.
