（1）former在這里表示“以前的”、“從前的”或“前任的”，后面需要跟名詞：

前綴ex-加在名詞前表示“以前的”（相當(dāng)于former），如ex-husband（前夫）， ex-wife（前妻），ex-taxi-driver（前出租汽車司機(jī)），ex-manager（前任經(jīng)理），ex-headmaster（前任校長(zhǎng)）等。
3．Though a little suspicious this time…
雖然那位警察這次有點(diǎn)疑心……
這是一個(gè)省略了主語和連系動(dòng)詞的讓步狀語從句。通常，如果從句的主語與主句的相同而謂語帶系動(dòng)詞be，則主語 be可省略（原因狀語從句例外）：

原因狀語從句的省略形式要帶分詞being：
