5、not look up from his desk when I entered. 我进去的时候，他连头也没抬。在这句话的look up中，look是它的本义“看”、“瞧”。look up一般表示原先在埋头干什么之后抬头看：He looked up(from his book)when he heard a noise.他听到声音后就抬起了头。（原先在读书）3I knew that my turn had come. 我知道这次该轮到我了。turn在这里是名词，意为“轮流”、“轮班”、“（依次轮流时各自的）一次机会”：I have already asked two questions.

8、的话告诉另外一个人时，应该使用间接引语（有的语法书称之为“转述引语”）。引述动词（如say，tell）可能是现在时，也可能是过去时 （最常用）。间接陈述句的时态往往受引述动词的影响。引述陈述句时最常用的动词是say和tell。它们之间的区别是tell后面必须跟表示人称的间接宾 语（tell sb .），而say后面则可跟或不跟to +讲话对象。如果需要提到听话者，tell +间接宾语通常比say + to +sb. 更常用。在say和tell后面一般不可加逗号。如果间接引语中的引述动词是现在时，那么其后的时态通常与原来口头陈述句的时态相同。转述刚刚说完的话时 通常如此；引述动词如果是过去时，那
9、么间接引语中的时态通常要“往回移”（即“倒移”）。一条普遍的规则是“现在时变为过去时，过去时变为过去完成时”。 直接引语：I can see him now! “我现在可以见他！”间接引语：Didn t Mr.Smith see you?史密斯先生没见你吗?No,his secretary told me / said that he had gone home.没有，他的秘书(告诉我)说他已经回家了。词汇学习 Word study1nervous adj.（1）神经质的，神经紧张的：She is a nervous woman.
