The double life of Alfred Blogg
阿尔弗雷德.布洛格斯的双重生活
Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why did Alf want a white-collar job?
These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white-collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night. He took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.

2.These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices.
⑴manual:by hand (the basic meaning)
⑶far more money:far是副词,用来加强语气,相当于“much”
3.People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white-collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work.坐办公室的之所以常常被称作“白领工人”，就是因为他们通常是穿着硬领白衬衫，系着领带去上班。

to:look at参考/参看
He spoke without referring to the notes.他讲话时没有看稿子。
⑵for the simple reason that相当于for引导一个原因状语从句,能够深刻体现出“出于这个简简单单的原因”,for the reason that比because正式，因此多用于正式文体
He is referred to as a bookworm for the simple reason that he spares no efforts on reading.他之所以被人称为书呆子,是由于一个简简单单的原因,那就是他总是不遗余力地去阅读/看书。
Don't refer to your sister as a silly sow!不要管你妹妹叫蠢猪。
4.Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. ⑴Such is human nature , that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay…这句话的正常语序应该是:Human nature is such,that…,①such that在这里不能与形容词连用,但包含了形容词的意思,本句中, 可以理解为是that引导同位语从句，进一步补充说明such的基本内涵(但不是所有的这种结构都可以这样理解)
例如:The force of the explosion was such that all the windows were broken.爆炸力如此之强,以致所有的窗户都被震破了。
His kindness was such that we will never forget him.(He is such a kind person that we will never forget him.)他心肠如此之好,我们永远也忘不了他。
注意:They had such a fierce dog that no one dared to go near their home.= Their dog was so fierce that no one dared come near it.
The storm was so furious that all the buildings were destroyed.= The fury of the storm was such that all the buildings were destroyed.= It was such a furious storm that all the buildings were destroyed.风暴如此之猛烈,以致所有的建筑物都被毁了。
②such放在句首的时候要用倒装,这种结构相当正式,表达更强烈的感情色彩。
例如:Such is life.生活就是这样!(表示一种无可奈何)
⑵human nature人性 Such is human nature that we want to get a lot of things free(免费的)
⑷sacrifice:本义是to kill and offer to god/gods,指为了祭神的牺牲,后来引申出“为了什么而放弃/牺牲某种利益”例如:Many women sacrifice their careers for their family.很多女人为了家庭而牺牲掉了自己的事业。
5.This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
⑴give rise to:be the reason why something happens成为什么事情的原因/引起/惹起,是一个比较书面化的说法,本课中指“人们的这种心理引起了奇怪的情形”,也可以说相当于lead to/cause/result in引起，惹起
例如: The recent accident is giving rise to national concern.最近的事故使得全国都关注。
These bad conditions have given rise to a lot of crimes.这些不良环境引起了不少犯罪行为。
Such conduct might give rise to misunderstandings.这样的行为可能会引起种种误会。

6.When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job.⑴embarrassed:在句中可以理解为“非常为难”。
表达一些不舒服的状态在英语中还有其他一些形容词:
He was ashamed of having lied to his family.(羞愧)He was too shy to ask her to dance with him.(羞涩/不好意思)He feel awkward with women.(别扭/不自在)
8.Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. ⑴smart:good-looking and stylish/fashionable既漂
亮又新潮的 a smart restaurant:一家时尚的餐馆 a smart kid:a clever kid
作聪明讲时,smart有时带有贬义,例如: a smart lawyer:a cunning lawyer狡猾的律师
⑵dressed in a smart balck suit---过去分词短语表示一种状态
He got to work dressed in a beautiful coat.(dress要用dressed表示穿着)He left home wearing a smart balck suit.(wear要用wearing表示穿着)
9.He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. changed into：换上(he took off his smart balck suit and then put on his overalls)
10.Before returning home at night,he took a shower and changed back into his suit.
Before returning home=Before he returned home
在Before引导的时间状语从句中，return的逻辑主语和主句的主语he是保持一致的，所以这个时间状语是有介词Before和动名词搭配而成，相当于Before引导的时间状语从句。
如果运用动名词形式，动名词的逻辑主语必须是主句的主语例如:After gettting home,he had a good rest. Before having dinner,he finished all his homework.
11.Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, …
she never will=she will never discover the secret 在省略句式中，never要放在助动词之前
“will you go to see her?" “I will never to to see her"/"no ,I never will."
12.He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. ⑴half as much as是…的一半儿
I won't marry a man who is twice as old as me.(是我的两倍/比我大一倍)
例如:This road is four times longer than that one. ＝》This road is five times as long as that one.
⑵his rise in status is well worth the loss of money =What he obtained is well worth the loss of time.
well 副词用来加强语气，表示强调,相当于very much/quite/to a considerable extent,意思是“很/非常”修饰介词worth，well专门用于修饰介词和方位副词(back/up等),但是不能修饰纯形容词(如:happy)
例如:well ahead of time:强调“尽量提前”;His name is well up in the list.他的名字在名单上排得很靠前。
He is well on the way.他走了老远了。
13.…and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'. →More people will respect him.He has a higher status than before.。
