Notes on the text 课文注释

1 Lets = Let us，常用于第一人称的祈使句中，用来表示请求、建议、命令。

2 She told me she had just made a new film. 她告诉我她刚拍完一部新片子。

这是间接引语的又一个例子，这句话中含有一个用过去时引述动词的结构。如果我们对比一下Marsh小姐对记者说的话（直接引语）和报上刊载的记者的复述（间接引语），就不难发现，间接引语的动词时态往往要倒移。而这种倒移的普遍规则是： 现在时变成过去时，现在完成时变成过去完成时。

3 I wonder why! 我很想知道为什么。

参考译文

记 者：您刚拍完一部新电影吗，马什小姐？

马什小姐：是的，我刚拍完。

记 者：您准备再拍一部吗？

马什小姐：不，我不准备拍了。我准备退休了。我感觉累得很。我早就不想再拍片子了。

凯 特：我们买份报纸吧，莉兹。你听这段：“卡伦·马什：爆炸性新闻！由本报记者艾伦·琼斯报导。卡伦·马什今天到达伦敦机场。她穿着一身蓝色的套装和一件貂皮大衣。她告诉我她刚拍完一部新片子。她说她不准备再拍电影了。她说她准备退休。她告诉记者她感到很疲劳，早就不想再拍电影了。”

莉 兹：我很想知道为什么。
