Lesson 74 out of the limelight舞台之外 非限定性定语从句
First listen and then answer the question: Why was their disguise 'too perfect' ?
An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off.
一辆古旧的汽车停在一条干涸的河床边，一群著名男女演员下了车。
Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them.
他们戴着墨镜，穿着旧衣裳，特别小心以防别人认出他们。
But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.
但他们很快就发觉，化装的效果有时过分完美了。
"This is a wonderful place for a picnic," said Gloria Gleam.
“这个地方真是野餐的好地方，”格洛丽娅·格利姆说。
"It couldn't be better, Gloria," Brinksley Meers agreed. "No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?"
“是再好不过的了，格格利亚。”布林克斯利·米尔斯同意道，“没有记者，没有影迷！我们为什么不经常来这里呢？”
Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees.
与此同时，另外两位演员，罗克沃尔·斯林格和默林·格里夫斯，已经把两个大食品篮子提到了一片树荫下。
When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry.
当他们都已安排舒适时，一个陌生人出现了。他看上去非常气愤。
"Now you get out of here, all of you!" he shouted. "I'm sheriff here.
“你们都从这里走开，全都走开！”他大叫着，“我是这里的司法长官。
Do you see that notice? It says "No Camping" -- in case you can't read!"
你们看到那个布告牌了吗？上面写着‘禁止野营’－－除非你们不识字！”
"Look, sheriff," said Rockwall, "don't be too hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves."
“好了，好了，司法官，”罗克沃尔说，“别使我们难堪。我是罗克沃尔·斯林格，这位是默林·格里夫斯。”
"Oh, is it?" said the sheriff with a sneer. "Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast!"
“噢，是吗？”那位司法长官冷笑一声说道，“好，我就是布林克斯利·米尔斯，我还有一个名字叫格洛丽娅·格利姆。现在你们赶快滚吧！”

Out of the limelight
- She has been in the limelight since she became an actress.
- Although he is a government official, he tries to keep out of the limelight.
An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off.
river bed 指河床，名词 river 修饰名词
- flower bed（花坛）
party 作量词用时表示“一行，一伙，一群”
- a party of tourists/boys（一群旅游者/男孩）
- A group of swans floated by. 一群天鹅缓缓游过。
Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them.
| Dress in glasses 戴眼镜 | Dress in clothes 穿衣服 |
|---|---|
| He was very polite, somewhat shy, and dressed in glasses. 他很有礼貌，有点害羞，戴着眼镜。 | Dress your child in layers of clothes you can remove easily. 给你的孩子穿几层你能容易地脱掉的衣服。 |
* But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.
| But as they soon discovered, | disguises can sometimes be too perfect. |
| 非限定性定语从句 | 先行句(非词) |
| 伪装有时过于完美(什么伪装？他们很快发现的) | |
Among them will be Debbie's mother, who swam the Channel herself when she was a girl.
加了逗号的定语从句，叫做非限定性定语从句，为什么叫非限定呢？因为。前面这个名词范围已经很明确了，Debbie's妈妈就一个？所以这个范围非常明确，既然这个范围明确了，所以后面这个从句就不需要来限定了，就是一个额外的补充说明，既然我不需要你来限定了，你是一个额外的补充说明，因此关系不紧密，加个逗号隔开，修饰的名词非常的明确，那么这个时候从句就不用限定了，加“，”隔开这种叫做非限定的定语从句：
| 限定性定语从句 | 非限定性定语从句 |
|---|---|
| This is the wall which they built last week. 上周建的墙大家都不知道 | This is the Great Wall , which world-famous. 长城是众所周知的 |
通常情况下定语从句都是修饰一个名词的，但是有一种极端特殊的情况下，就是定语从句可以修饰前面整句话，当它修饰前面整句话的时候，这个定语从句必须得是加逗号的非限定语从句（因为要修饰整句，所以肯定要隔开修饰整句话）。
限定/非限定性的定语从句(定语从句修饰整句话)
- Disguises can sometimes be too perfect, which they soon discovered. ,which 在这里不再是修饰某一个词了，而是修饰了(前面的)整句话
- Disguises can sometimes be too perfect, as they soon discovered ,which 可以与,as 互换（特殊的非限定定语从句）
- But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect. as 比 which 更高级，which只能放到句尾，而 as 可以放到句首
Why don't we come more often?
Why + don’t/doesn’t + 主语 + 动词？结构可用来提出建议
- Why don’t you change a watch?
- Why don't you come with us?
- Why don't you speak?
- Why doesn't he study?
Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees.
two large food baskets 两个大食品篮
- basket → baskets → food baskets → large food baskets → two large food baskets
under some trees 在一些树下(大树下好乘凉)
- Let's have a picnic under some trees.让我们在一些树下野餐。
'Now you get out of here, all of you!' he shouted.
- get out of here 从这里走开，滚出去，滚开
- get fuck out of here 给我从这滚出去
'I'm sheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says "No Camping" -- in case you can't read!'
sheriff 是一种官衔，官衔前面不加冠词
- He is president. 总统（官衔）
- Who is monitor? 谁是班长（官衔）
- I am a teacher. teacher 不是官衔，加不定冠词
in case + 从句 假使，万一…的话，免得，以防万一
- in case you can't read 除非你们不识字(你瞎吗？)
- I’m taking a raincoat with me in case I need it. 常用于引导条件或目的状语从句
- In case he comes/should come, give him this letter.表示将来的时间时，in case 后面必须用现在时态或 should/might
| 用于公共标语的 NO + 名词 公共标语通常字数很少，语言精练。在表示“禁止…”时往往用 no + 名词/动名词或名词短语 | |
|---|---|
| No Camping（禁止野营）= Do not camp | No Smoking（禁止吸烟） = NO SMOKING |
| No Parking（禁止停车） | No Left Turn（禁止左转弯） |
| On public notices we write No Camping instead of Do not camp. 在真正的公告牌上，这些标语往往全部用大写字母，不加标点。 | |
'don't be too hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.'
be hard on… 对…（过分）严厉
- Don’t be too hard on that child.
- He is always hard on his employee.
