她乘上电梯后，只想着午餐和好好休息一下。但她到自己的楼层走出电梯后，就把这两件事忘了个干净，因为她突然发现她家的大门开着。

4.She was thinking that she must reprimand her home help the next morning for sucha monstrous piece of negligence, when she remembered that she had gone shoppingafter the home help had left and she knew that she had turned both keys in theirlocks.

语言点2:skeleton key的意思是“万能钥匙。”
17.There was no trace of fingerprints, but the inspector found a dirty red bundle thatcontained jewellery which the old lady said was not hers.

巡官请老妇人在次日之前设法查清丢了些什么，并劝她几夜之内不要独自一人在公寓过夜。

Lesson 58 A blessing in disguise? 是因祸得福吗？ Why does the vicar refuse to cut down the tree? The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death! 参考译文 据说弗林利这个小村里有一棵“该诅咒的树”。就因为报上提到过这棵树，所以现在来弗林利参观的人越来越多。该树是50年前栽在教堂附近的，但只是近几年才得到了一个坏名声。据说，谁要是触摸了这棵树，谁就会交上恶运；如果谁摘了一片树叶，谁就会死去。很多村民相信此树已经害了不少人。人们曾请求教区的牧师叫人把树砍掉，但他直到现在也没有同意。他指出，由于人们从全国各地纷纷前来参观这棵树，它成了一个有用的财源。尽管有上述种种说法，但游客们还是照常摘树叶和把他们的名字刻在树干上。然而到目前为止，还没有一个人暴死呢！【New words and expressions】（16） blessing 1)n.

The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty
years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused.

新概念英语第二册第51课听力：Reward for virtue Lesson 51 Reward for virtue对美德的奖赏 First listen and then answer the question. 听录音，然后回答以下问题。 Why did Hugh's diet not work? My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves： butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets! 参考译文 我的朋友休一直很胖，但是近来情况变得越发糟糕，以致他决定 节食。他是一星期前开始节食的。首先，他开列了一张长长的单子， 上面列了所有禁吃的食物。这张单子上的绝大部分食物都是休喜欢吃的：黄油、土豆、米饭、啤酒、牛奶、巧克力和糖果。昨天我去看望 了他。我按响了门铃，当看到休仍和往常一样胖时，我并不感到惊奇。他把我领进屋，慌忙把一个大包藏到了桌子下面。显然他感到很尴尬。
新概念英语第二册Lesson58课文注释 1.The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a‘cursed tree’.据说弗林利这个小村里有一棵“该诅咒的树”。 (1)主语+ be said+…这种结构通常译为“据说……”是对不太有把握的事发表看法时一种谨慎的说法。(cf.本课语法) (2)of在这里表示同位关系，如 the city of London/New York(伦 敦/纽约市);at the age of twenty(20岁时); a height of three feet(3英尺的高度)。 2.…the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased.……现在来弗林利参观的人越来越多。 the number of表示“……的数量/总数”，它作主语时谓语动词要用单数，虽然visitors是复数。注意它与a number of(许多，若干)的区别： The number of patients in this hospital has increased. 这家医院的病人越来越多。 A number of patients have asked to see you. 许多病人要求见您。(动词用复数形式) 3.…it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation.……只是近几年才得到了一个坏名声。 句中的it is…that是个强调句型。如果我们想要强调某个词或某个短语，我们可以用 it is/was+被强调的成分+that/ who(m)结构。这样组成的句子叫分裂句，因为it结构把一个简单句劈开，使其分裂成两个分句。被强调的成分可以是主语、宾语、状语等。课文中这句话强调的是时间状语。从简单句到强调句变化如下： Frank phoned Jack last night. 弗兰克昨晚给杰克打了电话。(简单句，没有强调什么) It was Frank who phoned Jack last night. 是弗兰克昨晚给杰克打了电话。(强调是弗兰克而不是别人打的电话)
