之誤；kin為can之誤，shoulda為shouldhave之誤；outa為outof之誤；gotta為gotto之誤；等等。9.Jaguar：美洲虎牌，英國生產(chǎn)的一種高級豪華型轎車。10.ain'tit?:ain't是isn't，aren't，amnot的俚語形式。此處是isn't的俚語。11.Aah!：公爵這時知道歐吉維來的目的所在，他不由自主地發(fā)出一聲驚嘆，以自我慰藉那已敗露了的事情。12.itpaystocheck：pay在此表示beworthwhile(值得)的意思。全句意即itisworthwhiletocheck或itisworthchecking。又如：Itwillpaytoreadthatbook．讀讀那本書是值得的。Itpaystothinkbeforeyouspeak．應三思而后行。13.Movingwithsurprising.．．inspectingthespacebehindthem；句中的Movingwithsurprisingspeed為分詞短語，作時間狀語，修飾謂語walked…，并列分詞短語openingdoorsandinspecting．”作伴隨狀語，對謂語作補充說明。14.Nowthen：語氣詞，用于引起注意，表示警告、抗議等。15.Youtwowasinthehit-’n-run：此句為Youtwoareguiltyofthathit-and-runaccident的俗語表現(xiàn)形式。Hit-and-ruff是“撞了就跑”的意思。這種由and連接的兩個動詞構成的復合詞在口語中比較常見，也比較隨意。如：speak-and-go(說了就走)，say-and-do(說了就干)，beat-and-run(打了就跑)，等等。16.Thisisforreal:forreal是俚語，意為real或really。這句的意思是“我不是開玩笑的，這是件很嚴肅的事”。17.There'sbeenplentyonradio，too：此句是“Therehavebeenalotofreportsabouttheaccidentontheradio，too”的不規(guī)范形式。歐吉維是一個粗俗的家伙，要么出口不雅，要么語句不規(guī)范。本文中類似現(xiàn)象很多，應引起讀者注意。18.Twohighpointsofcolor：泛起兩團紅暈。公爵夫人此時感到不安，而且有點害怕，但她還是假裝氣憤的樣子。19.cutitout：俗語，意思是stopwhatshewassayingdoing(住嘴，住手)。此處是“住嘴”的意思，即歐吉維要公爵夫婦不要假裝自己是無罪的。20.Thewordsspatforth：按語法規(guī)則，此句應該是Thewordswerespatforth或Ogilviespatoutthewords。作者在這兒讓thewords緊跟在他所說的內(nèi)容后，可能是為了使其更富有戲劇性，更惹人注目，所以沒有用hespatoutthewords。而且thewordsspatforth比thewordswerespatforth也更有力，更鮮明。21，yourhigh-an'-mightiness：對公爵或公爵夫人的正確稱呼應是：YourGrace(閣下)。這里歐吉維故意模仿對親王的稱呼：YourHighness(殿下)，是想以此嘲諷她那不可一世的傲慢神態(tài)。22.Whentheyfindwhodone.．.orwhethertheygotfancytitlesneither：復合句。時間狀語從句When…包含兩個賓語從句，即whodonethat…和whokilled…，主句的主語有兩個謂語，即’llthrowthebookandnevermind，第二個謂語mind帶有兩個賓語從句，即who…orwhetherthey…。句中的done的規(guī)范說法應該是did；an’是and的縮略式；neither在此處是口語形式，等于either。throwthebook是個習語，其中thebook在這里指“法律條文”，是隱喻；whoithits中的it指thebook。23.IfIdowhatbyrights…you'llhardlysee'em；這一句可解釋為：IfIdOwhatIshoulddoinjustice(thatis，toreportwhatIknowtopoliceheadquarters)，agroupofpolicemenwillcomeoverhereveryfast，sofastthatyouwouldn'tbeabletoseethemmoving．24.So's：等于soas或sothat；此處等于sothat，引出目的從句，即sothatyou.．．25.It'snogo，oldgirl．Itwasagoodtry：此句可解釋為：It'snouse．Whatyoudidjustnowwasagoodattemptattryingtosavethesituation．這里nogood是俗語，意思是“不可能的”，“沒有用的”，“無益的”；oldgirl是對某人妻子的一種非正常的稱呼，可譯為“老太太”、“老太婆”等。26．“Nowwe'regettingsomewhere．”：本句的字面意思是：現(xiàn)在我們正到達某處，現(xiàn)在我們有點門路了。這兒可解釋為；Nowwe'remakingsomeprogress，accomplishingsomething．(現(xiàn)在我們總算談到一塊兒來了。)27．Thehousedetectivetookhistime.．.asifchallengingherobjection：簡單句。Thehousedetectivetookhistime是主謂語，leisurelyputtingacloud…和hiseyes…分別為分詞短語和獨立主格結構，作伴隨狀語。asif引導方式狀語從句(省去了heis)，可解釋為asifhewantedtoseeiftheDuchessdaredtoobjecttohissmoking。28.Lindy'sPlace：一個賭博場所，即林迪賭場。29.IrishBayou：愛爾蘭牛軛湖。Bayou是個法語詞，因為新奧爾良曾經(jīng)是法國的殖民地，所以那兒有很多地方曾是用法語命名的.30.Leastways，Iguessyou'llcallherthatifyou'renottoofussy：此句的含意為：Iguessifyouarenottooparticularaboutwhatwordstouse，atleastyou'dcallheryourladyfriend．(我想如果您不過分挑字眼的話，至少會稱呼她為您的情婦。)ladyfriend直譯為“女友”，在這兒是“情婦”的委婉說法。歐吉維在這兒有意地激怒公爵。顯然公爵不是同一個朋友去賭場的，而是同一個情婦一起去的?！ぁ?1.thewayIhearit：theway起連詞的作用，表示方式，意即as，accordingas(如同，依．．．．..看來)。又如：Hedoesnotbotherabouttriflestheway(=as)hisbrotherdoes．他不像他哥哥常為瑣事而奔忙。Theway(＝Accordingas)youwork，youmustbeamastercarpenter．看你干活的樣子，你一定是個技術熟練的木匠師傅。32，Thereain'tmuch，outOftheway，whichpeoplewhostayinthishoteldo，Idon'tgettohearabout：雙重否定句。其含意為：旅館的人所干的不平常事，沒有我不知道的。也就是說，旅館的人所干的不平常事，我都會知道的。全句可解釋為：Ifanybodywhostaysinthishoteldoesanythingwrong，improperorunusua1，Ialwaysgettoknowaboutit．Thereisn'tmuchthatcanescapeme．Outoftheway是一個習語，意為improper，wrong，unusual(不合適的，錯誤的，不平常的)。在句中作后置定語，修飾其前的much。33，Youan’yourwife…ifshe'dhavedrove：這一句的規(guī)范說法應該是：Whenyouandyourwifetookoff(=leftfor)home，youweredriving，thoughtheway(＝accordingas)thingsturnedout(that)itmighthavebeenbetterifshehaddriven．34.Thenyoudon'tknow：公爵夫人認為是歐吉維的猜測，他沒有真正掌握他們的證據(jù)，她認為他根本不可能拿到他們的證據(jù)。35，Better1ethimfinish：省略句。完整的句子應該是:You'dbetter1ethimfinish．36．Lookedrightshaken，too，thepairofyou：倒裝句。Lookedrightshaken提前，以強調(diào)謂語，thepairofyou為主語。正常的語序應該是；Thepairofyoulookedrightshaken，too．37.thewordwasout：意即thenewsabouttheaccidentwasspreadingaround．(事故的消息傳開了。)38.Onahunch：等于AsIhadahunch，可解釋為AsIsuspectedandfelttherewassomethingwrong39，look-see：查看(aquicklookorinspection)。

40.Youmighthavesomethingthere；意即Theremightbeapointinwhatyousay．(那可不一定。)41.Awhat?:片斷疑問句，一種口語表現(xiàn)形式，用以表示對他人的話沒聽清楚或者聽而不明而提出的簡略反問。42.Ain'tanydoubt；屬Thereisn'tanydoubt的俗語形式。43.LikeIsaid，Icometohearyoursideofit：like在這兒等于連詞as(如同)。全句意為：AsIhavejustsaid，Icometohearyourideaabouttheaccident.44.squarehisshoulders：注意此處的隱喻修辭手法。square

one'sshoulder習語本表示“挺直地站立(或坐)”的意思，這里比喻為“正視惡果”、“正視問題”(facetheconsequence).45.Rushinganyplaceain'tgonnabringbackthekidnoritsmotherneither：不合語法的句子。合乎語法要求的句子應該是：Rushingtoanyplace(topoliceheadquarters)isn'tgoingtomakethekidanditsmothercometolifeagain．注意這兒的否定形式，表明歐吉維是未受過教育的粗俗的人。46.whatthey'ddotoyouacrossattheheadquarters，Duke，youwouldn'tlike：賓語從句提前，起強調(diào)的作用。正常的語序應該是Duke，youwouldn'tlikewhatthey'ddotoyou.．．47.“You'dacceptmoneytokeepsilentaboutwhatyouknow?”；陳述疑問句，即用陳述句的語序，句末用問號的句子，朗讀時句尾要用升調(diào)。這種疑問句在口語中用得很廣。本課也多處出現(xiàn)，如："Youmeanoutofthestate?”“Thatwouldn'tbeeasy?”48.Nottoit；可看作是(butyouwere)notgoingto的省略形式.it指town。49.NewOrleans；新奧爾良，美國路易斯安那州最大的城市，全國第二大港口(以對外貿(mào)易額計)，醫(yī)療、工業(yè)、教育的中心和旅游勝地。50.theoutsidetowns：大城市周圍的一些小城鎮(zhèn)。這兒的outside指NewOrleans.outlyingtowns的說法更普遍。

51.Howlongbeforetheydo?：是“Howlongisitbeforetheyd0?”的省略句。52.An’ifyoucangetitaway：省略句。it指thecar。全句可解釋為：Andifyoucangetthecaraway，youmightnotbesuspectedatall．(要是你們把車子弄走的話，就可能根本不會有嫌疑的。)53.louisiana；路易斯安那，美國中南部之一州。北接阿肯色州，西接得克薩斯州，東接密西西比州，南臨墨西哥灣。面積125
