Lesson 32 Shopping made easy 购物变得很方便
First listen and then answer the question.听录音, 然后回答以下问题.
Who was the thief?
People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is GREater than ever before--especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings.One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shopassistant was her daughter. The girl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week !
参考译文
人们不再像以前那样诚实了. 偷窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候都更强烈特别是在大的商店里. 一名侦探最近注意上了一位穿着讲究的妇女, 她总是在星期一上午进入一家大商场. 有一个星期一, 当这位妇女走进这家商场时, 里面的人比往常少, 因此, 侦探比较容易监视她. 这位妇女先是买了几样小商品. 过了一会几, 她又选了商场里最昂贵的一件衣服, 把它递给了售货员. 那售货员以最快的速度为她包好了衣服. 然后, 那妇女拿过包就走出了商场, 根本没有付钱. 她被逮捕后, 侦探发现原来那售货员是她的女儿. 那姑娘每星期 “送” 她母亲一件免费的衣服!
【课文讲解】
not so...as/not as...as 表示比较, 不如
as...as...和什么一样
as+adj/adv+as+比较对象
as quickly as possible尽可能快
He is as tall as I.
This case is as light as that one. (轻)
It is as heavy as that one. 这个东西和那个东西一样重
as...as...的否定形式是not so...as...,/not as ... as...
It is not as heavy as that one. 这个东西不如那个东西重
I am not as tall as you.
I am taller than you/you are not as tall as I.
less + 原级＝not as...as...=not so...as... 译为 “不如”
not as + 原级 +as / less + 原级+than 意思一样, 区别 : 一个用 “as” , 一个 “than”
I am not so lucky as those fisherman.
they are 与 they were 在用不同时态比
you are beautiful. you were beautiful
you are more beautiful than you were. 你比过去漂亮多了
you look better than you were. (省略句 : You look better.)
It was my car. / Is this your car? 注意它们的区别
I think 想 / I thought 原以为
you were worse表示you are better : 你过去更差劲, 表示现在比以前更好了
要表现现在与过去的比较, 有两种方式 :
1、they are 与 they were 或 it is /it was等在用不同时态比
2、用短语than ever before
People are not so honest as before = people are not so honest as they once were.

用more是表示对别人的尊重
out of politeness 出于礼貌 (politeness n.有礼, 优雅)
after a little time过了一会儿
