Lesson 49 The end of a dream美梦告终How did the dream end?Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.参考译文德黑兰的一个人年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦，于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床。

新概念第二册Lesson 49 The end of a dream一、单词精讲tired adj. 厌烦的引申：“tired”最基本的意思是“疲倦的”，当表示“厌烦的”时，是一种引申含义。

I'm tired of this boring work.”（我厌烦这个无聊的工作了。

）这里从身体上的疲倦延伸到心理上对某事的厌烦情绪。

词源：“tired”源自古英语的“tīred”，它最初的意思是“疲倦的，疲惫的”，随着语言的发展，逐渐有了“厌烦的”这一含义。

搭配：be tired of：这是最常见的表示“厌烦……”的搭配。

She is tired of listening to his complaints.（她厌烦听他的抱怨了。

）“get tired of”：强调从一种不厌烦到厌烦的转变过程。

You will get tired of this game sooner or later.（你迟早会厌烦这个游戏的。

）real adj.真正的引申：“real”作为“真正的”这个含义，可引申出“真实存在的”“切实的”等意思。

例如，“real situation”（真实的情况），这里表示情况是实际存在而非虚构的；“real problem”（切实的问题），强调问题是真实且需要解决的。

词源：“real”来源于拉丁语“realis”，其最初的含义与事物的本质、实际存在相关。

搭配：real name（真名），这是比较常见的搭配，用于表示一个人的真实姓名，区别于笔名、化名等。

real estate（房地产；不动产），在这个词组中，“real”表示真实的、实际的财产。

for real（认真的；严肃的；真正的），这是一个口语化的短语，Are you for real?（你是认真的吗？）owner n. 主人引申：“owner”作为“主人”，可引申为拥有者、所有者，在很多情况下表示对某个事物具有所有权的人或主体。

例如在商业语境下，“the owner of a company”（公司的所有者），这里的“owner”不仅是公司的主人，还拥有对公司的各种权益。

(1)tired引导的分词短语省略了开头的being，其作⽤相当于原因状语从句：As he was tired of…。

sleeping为动名词，作介词of的宾语。

(2)save up为固定短语，表⽰“储蓄”、“攒钱”： I want to get married in one or two years, so I'm trying to save(some money)up. 我想⼀两年之间内结婚，所以我在设法攒钱。

(3)to在这⾥⽤于表⽰⽬的，相当于in order to： I got up early to have a swim. 为了游泳我起了个⼤早。

2.…he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.……他便把床搬到了他的屋顶上。

介词onto可拼写成⼀个词，也可拼写成两个词(on to)。

它⽤于表⽰动作⽅向⽽不⽤于表⽰静态的位置(与into相似)： I put the pen onto/ on the table. 我把笔放到桌⼦上。

The pen is on the table. 笔在桌⼦上。

(不可⽤onto/ on to)onto/ on to有时可⽤on代替，但表⽰位置的on不可⽤onto代替： Mr. Thompson jumped onto the stage. 汤普森先⽣跳上了台上。
