新概念英语第二册：Lesson85 课文注释篇一】Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion. 为了纪念这个日子，学校的学生——无论老同学还是新闻学——将送他一件礼物。
(1) old and new 为pupils 的非限定性定语，因为有逗号把它与句子的其他成分隔开，并且去掉它对句子的意义影响不大。
有时这种两个连用的形容词(或分词) 相当于状语，这时它能够位于句子中间，也能够位于句首：The workers, thirsty and tired, took a rest under thetrees.工人们又渴又累，在树底下休息了一会儿。
(thirsty and tired 能够换到句首，相当于状语)The villagers here, young and old, are interested in gardening.这里的村民们，无论年轻的还是年长的，都对园艺感兴趣。
(2) ................................... m ark本义为“给作记号/留痕迹”，在这里表示“纪念”：He marked all the foods which were forbidden with a red pencil.他用红笔标出所有禁吃的食物。
【篇二】All those who have contributed towards the gift will signth eir names in a large album …所有凑钱买此礼品的人都将把自己的名字签在一本大签名簿上……(1)contribute 通常与to/towards 连用，表示“捐给”、“提供给”：Before his death, he contributed a large sum of money to the church.他在临死前捐了一大笔钱给教会。
新概念英语第二册课后题答案详解：Lesson85新概念英语第二册课后习题 Lesson 851. d根据课文第4-6行，只有d. 与课文的实际内容相符，其他3个选择虽然都是课文所涉及的内容，但不符合题目意思，因为它们都不是在签名簿上签名的人。
2. d根据课文第11-12行One is never too old to learn (人要活到老学到老)，能够判断只有d.与这个名言的含义相符，而其他3个选择都与它含义相反，所以选d.3. b只有b. won't ，这个句子才合乎语法，因为主语是he,它后面应该用won't. 而a. willn't 是错误的表达方式。
c. shall not 和d. shan't 意思相同，但他们只能用于第一人称I 和we.所以选b.4. a前一句We went so unwillingly to school 中so是副词，意思是如此地，修饰副词和形容词，表示水准。
后面的句子的表语是unwilling pupils,前面就不能用so修饰，只能用such才合乎语法。
such如此的，是形容词，只能修饰名词，后面跟形容词加名词，所以应该选a. such,以便使前后两句相符合5. b在星期几前应该用介词on 才符合语法。
a. in, c. the , d. at 都不能用在Thursday 前，只有b. on 能用在Thursday 前面，所以应该选b.6. a本句是以How long 引导的疑问句，应该用主谓倒置的疑问句语序，才合乎语法。
b. he will have been 是陈述句语序。
c. will havehe been 语序不对， d. will have been he 语序也不对，只有a. will he have been 是准确的疑问句语序，所以选a.7. b前一句的One is never too old to learn 中的One 是泛指代词，意思是“任何人”，“某一人”，本句需要选一个同One 意义相同的人称代词。
新概念英语第二册第85课Lesson 85 Never too old to learn 活到老学到老I have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, Mr. Stuart Page, will be retiring next week. Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion. All those who have contributed towards the gift will sign their names in a large album which will be sent to the headmaster's home. We shall all remember Mr. Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragemen the gave us when we went so unwillingly to school. A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next Thursday. It is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, Mr. Page will have been teaching for a total of forty years. After he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening. For him, this will be an entirely new hobby. But this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.New words and expressions 生词和短语inform v. 告诉，通知headmaster n.校长contribute v. 捐助，援助gift n.礼物，赠品album n.签名簿，相册patience n.耐心encouragement n. 鼓励farewell n.告别honour n.敬意coincidence n.巧合total n.总数devote v. 致力于gardening n.园艺hobby n. 爱好，嗜好参考译文我刚刚收到母校的一封信，通知我说以前的校长斯图亚特.佩奇先生下星期就退休了。
