課文詳注 Further notes on the text
1．Children who play truant from school are unimaginative.
逃學(xué)的孩子們都缺乏想像力。
（1）play truant from school表示“逃學(xué)”，上下文清楚時(shí)也可以省略 from school，直接說(shuō) play truant。truant也可以單用，表示“逃學(xué)者”。
As a boy, Tom used to play truant (from school).
湯姆小時(shí)候常逃學(xué)。
The three boys who are fishing over there are truants and ought to be sent back to school.
那邊那3個(gè)釣魚(yú)的孩子都是逃學(xué)者，應(yīng)當(dāng)被送回學(xué)校。
（2）unimaginative的反義詞為imaginative（富于想像力的，愛(ài)想像的）：
Painters should be imaginative.
畫(huà)家應(yīng)當(dāng)富于想像力。
He is an imaginative painter.
他是位富有想像力的畫(huà)家。
2．A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get.
他們通常能夠做到的, 至多也就是安靜地釣上一天魚(yú)，或在電影院里坐上8個(gè)小時(shí)，一遍遍地看同一部電影。
（1）這句話的主語(yǔ)是is前面的兩個(gè)并列短語(yǔ)。第1個(gè)短語(yǔ)的主要成分是動(dòng)名詞fishing，第2個(gè)短語(yǔ)的主要成分可以看做是eight hours（作為一個(gè)時(shí)間總量，它后面要跟動(dòng)詞單數(shù)形式）。它實(shí)際上是省略了動(dòng)名詞 sitting for (eight hours)，seeing引導(dǎo)的為分詞短語(yǔ)，表示伴隨動(dòng)作。
（2）over and over again為固定短語(yǔ)，表示“一再地”、“反復(fù)許多次地”：
As my grandmother can't hear very well, I had to say it over and over again.
由于我奶奶聽(tīng)力不大好，我不得不反復(fù)說(shuō)好幾遍。
（3）as far as在這里表示“到……程度”、“就……而言”，是連詞，與距離沒(méi)有關(guān)系：
As for as I know, his operation is successful.
就我所知，他的手術(shù)是成功的。
3．put…to shame
使……蒙羞，使……相形見(jiàn)絀
What he has done put his parents to shame.
他的所作所為使他的父母感到羞恥。
He saved the child at the risk of his own life and put all those who looked on to shame.
他冒著生命危險(xiǎn)救了那個(gè)孩子，使所有旁觀者都相形見(jiàn)絀。
4．in the meantime
在此期間（相當(dāng)于meanwhile）
I feel tired and would like to take a nap. In the meantime, you may do some reading.
我覺(jué)得累了，想打個(gè)盹兒。在此期間，你可以看看書(shū)。
5．The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border.
男孩截住的下一輛車，沒(méi)有像他希望的那樣把他帶到巴黎市中心，而是把他帶到了法國(guó)和西班牙邊界上的佩皮尼昂。
這個(gè)句子的主語(yǔ)是 The next car，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是take，into和but to引導(dǎo)的是兩個(gè)并列狀語(yǔ)。the boy stopped為 car的關(guān)系從句，前面省略了作賓語(yǔ)的關(guān)系代詞 which/that; as he hoped it would則為方式狀語(yǔ)從句。
6．There he was picked up by a policeman…
他在那兒被一個(gè)警察抓住了……
Pick up的含義之一是“逮捕”、“拘捕”：
After the accident, he was picked up by the police.
事故之后，他被警方拘捕了。
