A Teacher As Well As a Friend

Mary was a quiet girl. She had no friends in class. She was a good student but not the best one. Her teacher, Mrs. Wang, noticed how the other students ignored her. One day after class, Mrs. Wang asked Mary why she was so quiet and without any friends.

Mary told her teacher that the other students ignored her because she came from a very poor family. She could not join them in their fun and games because she could not afford to buy anything. She explained that she had only enough time to study hard so one day she could get a good job. Then she could earn enough money to help her family.

Mrs. Wang was quite moved by Mary's story. She said, 'Mary, you are a good girl and a good student. But you do have one friend in this class, you know.' Mary asked, 'Who is it?' Mrs. Wang answered her, 'It's me. I will be not only your teacher but also your friend.'

译文：

玛丽是个安静的女孩。她在班上没有任何朋友。她是个好学生，不过却不是顶尖的。她的老师王老师注意到其他学生都不理她。有一天下课，王老师问玛丽为什么这么安静，都没有朋友。

玛丽向老师称别的同学不理她是因为她来自穷苦人家。她没办法跟同学一同玩乐，因为她买不起任何东西。她说她有的是时间用功念书，好让她将来找个好工作。然后她就可以赚够钱帮忙家里。

玛丽的故事让王老师很感动。她说：“玛丽，你是个好女孩也是个好学生。但你在班上确实有个朋友，你知道吗？”玛丽问道：“哪一位？”王老师回答称：“就是我。我不仅是你的老师也是你的朋友。”

语法重点：

1. 本课第二段第二句使用了动词 afford [ əˋford ]，该动词须与助动词 can 并用，形成下列结构：

can / cannot afford to + 动词原形              

有∕无财力∕能力从事……

can / cannot afford + 名词                   

有∕无财力买∕从事……

例子 

John is just a civil servant; how can he afford to live in such a large villa?

约翰只是个公务员，他怎可住得起这么一座大别墅？

＊civil servant  n. 公务员；公仆

         villa [ ˋvɪlə ] n. 别墅

As a poor student, I can't afford such a luxurious sports car.

=As a poor student, I can't afford to buy such a luxurious sports car.

身为穷学生，这样奢华的跑车我买不起。

＊luxurious [ lʌgˋʒʊrɪəs ] a. 豪华的

2. 本课第三段第二句使用了助动词 do 在肯定句中接动词原形的意思及用法：

a. 肯定句通常不会使用助动词 do、does 或 did；否定句则会使用 don't、doesn't 或 didn't 强调否定的句义。

肯定句：

I love you.

我爱你。

John sings very well.

约翰歌唱得很好。

He lived here 10 years ago.

他十年前住在这里。

否定句：

I don't love you.

我不爱你。

John doesn't sing very well.

约翰歌唱得很不好。

He didn't live here 10 years ago.

十年前他并不住在这里。

b. 但肯定句中仍可置助动词 do、does 或 did，之后均接动词原形。此时 do、does、did 译成 '的确' 或 '真的' 用以强调之后的动词。

例子

I do love（动词原形） you.

我的确爱你。

John does sing（动词原形） very well.

约翰歌真的唱得很好。

He did live（动词原形） here 10 years ago.

十年前他的确住在这里。

本课第三段第二句即采此用法：

..But you do have one friend in this class,...

……但你在班上确实有个朋友，……

大家都学会了么？
