課文詳注 Further notes on the text1．…the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field.……孩子們在田野中央搭起了帳篷。
in the middle of表示“在……當中”、“在……中間”，既可以用于表示地理位置，又可以用于表示時間或在某個過程當中：
He heard someone shouting in the middle of the night.
午夜前后，他聽到有人大聲叫喊。
Mary was in the middle of reading when her aunt arrived.
瑪麗的姑媽到達時，瑪麗正在讀書。
in the centre of（在……中部／中央）則一般用于表示地理位置：
Alice Spring is a small town in the centre of Australia.
艾利斯斯普林斯是澳大利亞中部的一個小鎮。
2．…they cooked a meal over an open fire.……他們就在篝火上燒起了飯。
open fire指無遮蓋的、沒有圍起來的火，如篝火、盆火等。
3．…they told stories and sang songs by the campfire.……（他們）就圍在營火旁講起了故事，唱起了歌。介詞by表示“在……旁邊”、“靠近”，通常指距離非常近：Come and sit by me.
過來靠我坐。
There are many trees by the river.
河邊有許多樹。
4．But some time later it began to rain.但過了一陣子，天下起雨來。
副詞 later表示“后來”、“以后”、“過后”：
He told me he would come again later (on).
他告訴我他以后會再來的。
I met her again a few days later.
幾天以后我又遇見了她。
5．The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent! 那小溪彎彎曲曲穿過田野，然后正好從他們的帳篷底下流過去！
（1）wind表示“曲折而行”時，既可以是及物動詞，又可以是不及物動詞：
The car wound through the village.
汽車曲曲折折地穿過村子。
The river winds its way through this district.
這條河彎彎曲曲地流經這個地區。
（2）right在此處表示強調，意為“正好”、“恰恰”、“就”。這種用法多見于口語中：
I met him right here.
我就是在這里見到他的。
He hit the man right on the nose.
他正好打中那人的鼻子。
語法 Grammar in use
一般過去時（cf．第3課語法）
在并列句中，各分句在時態上通常要保持一致。在敘述過去發生的事件時，動詞基本上都用一般過去時，但有時也會出現過去完成時和過去進行時，它們的同時使用并不違反動詞的“一致原則”：
They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field.
他們全都跳出睡袋，跑到外面。雨下得很大，他們發現地上已經形成了一條小溪。
由于一般過去時常常表示過去某個特定的時間發生的事件，因此，它常與when，where等疑問詞連用。除了時間狀語可以表示特定的時間之外，地點狀語也可以暗示或包括特定的時間：
Where did you last see her?
你最近在什么地方見過她？
一般過去時與一般現在時在上下文中同時使用可以表示對比：
He always enjoys meals.
他吃飯時胃口總是很好。
Oh,does he?He didn't enjoy meals yesterday.
是嗎?他昨天的胃口可不好。
