Notes on the text课文注释

1  would be going, 是过去将来进行时,用来表示过去预计将要发生的动作。

2  fancy-dress party化装舞会。

3  dress up as, 化装成……。

4  try it on, it指costume, try on是“试穿”、“试戴”。

6  She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. 她曾告诉过他,如果她没去开门,他可直接进来,把面包放在厨房的桌子上。if ever在条件句中表示强调,可译作“任何时候”。to come straight in指“直接进来”。

7  Not wanting to frighten the poor man, 不想去吓唬这个可怜的人。这是现在分词短语的否定形式,作目的状语。

参考译文

理查兹夫人等丈夫上班走后,把孩子送去上学,然后来到楼上自己的卧室。那天上午,她兴奋得什么家务活都不想做,因为晚上她要同丈夫一起去参加一个化装舞会。她打算装扮成鬼的模样。头天晚上她已把化装服做好,这时她急于想试试。尽管化装服仅由一个被单制成,却十分逼真。理查兹夫人穿上化装服后下了楼,想看看穿起来是否舒服。

理查兹夫人刚刚走进餐厅,前门就传来敲门声。她知道来人一定是面包师。她曾告诉过面包师,如果她不去开门,他可直接进门,把面包放在厨房的桌上。理查兹夫人不想吓唬这个可怜的人,便赶紧躲到了楼梯下的小储藏室里。她听见前门被打开,走廊里响起了重重的脚步声。突然贮藏室门开了,一个男人走了进来。理查兹夫人这才想到一定是供电局来人查电表了。她说了声“是我,别怕!”然后想进行一番解释,但已来不及了。那人大叫了一声,惊退了几步。理查兹夫人朝他走去,只见他“砰”的一声关上门逃走了。
