Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.

Notes on the text 课文注释
1.Tired of sleeping on the floor, 由于对睡地板感到厌倦。be tired of 是“对……感到厌倦”的意思。在这句话里省略了现在分词being,这个短语表示原因状语。
2.save up, 攒钱。
3.blow up, (指暴风雨)出现并加剧;刮起。
4.A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. 一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来,把它摔碎在下面的院子里。crashing into the courtyard below是现在分词短语,作宾语补足语。
5.The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. 那年轻人直到床撞到地上才醒了过来。
not…until有“直到……才……”的意思。
参考译文
美梦告终
德黑兰的一个年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦,于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床。他平生第一次自豪地拥有了一张既有弹簧又带床垫的床。由于天气很热,他便把床搬到了他的屋顶上。头两天晚上,他睡得非常好。但第三天晚上起了风暴。一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来,把它摔碎在下面的院子里。那年轻人直到床撞到地上才醒了过来。尽管床摔成了碎片,但年轻人却奇迹般地没有受伤。他醒来时,仍然躺在床垫上。年轻人看了一眼周围的碎木片和碎金属片,伤心地捡起了床垫,把它拿进了屋。他把床垫往地板上一放,很快又睡着了。
***自学导读***
1.Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. 德黑兰的一个年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦,于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床。
(1)tired引导的分词短语省略了开头的being,其作用相当于原因状语从句:As he was tired of…。sleeping为动名词,作介词of的宾语。
(2)save up为固定短语,表示“储蓄”、“攒钱”:
I want to get married in one or two years, so I'm trying to save(some money)up.
我想一两年之间内结婚,所以我在设法攒钱。
(3)to在这里用于表示目的,相当于in order to:
I got up early to have a swim.
为了游泳我起了个大早。
2.…he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.……他便把床搬到了他的屋顶上。
介词onto可拼写成一个词,也可拼写成两个词(on to)。它用于表示动作方向而不用于表示静态的位置(与into相似):
I put the pen onto/ on the table.
我把笔放到桌子上。
The pen is on the table.
笔在桌子上。(不可用onto/ on to)onto/ on to有时可用on代替,但表示位置的on不可用onto代替:
Mr. Thompson jumped onto the stage.
汤普森先生跳上了台上。
Mr. Thompson jumped on the stage.
汤普森先生在台上跳了跳。
3.A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof…一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来……
gust表示“一阵强风”、“一阵狂风”,既可以单独使用,也可以用a gust of wind形式:
A gust(of wind) blew my hat off.
一阵大风吹掉了我的帽子。
She set off even though the wind was blowing in gusts.
虽然当时阵阵狂风吹着,她还是出发了。
4.The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.那年轻人直到床撞到地上才醒了过来。
not…until表示“直到……才”。until后面与表示某一点的时间状语连用。它前面没有not时,与表示一段时间的“持续动词”连用;有not时,常用表示某一时间点的动词(或叫瞬间动词)连用:
I'll stay here until Monday.
我要在这儿呆到星期一。
I won't leave until Monday.
我要到星期一才离开。
5.to pieces, 粉碎地,成碎片地。
The cup was broken to pieces.
杯子摔成了碎片。
6.Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man…
年轻人看了一眼周围的碎木片和碎金属片……
(1)glancing为现在分词,它引导的短语相当于一个时间状语从句:After he glanced at…
(2)动词glance的主要含义为“看一眼”、“扫视”:
Ian glanced at his watch and left the room.
伊恩看了一眼手表,然后离开了房间。
Joe glanced through the newspaper while talking to me.
乔一边和我聊天,一边浏览报纸。
(3)that引导的关系从句修饰the bits of wood and metal, that在从句中作主语。
