I must be at work at 10 oclock. My employer will confirm that I was there on time.Would a later train get you to work on time? asked the inspector.I suppose it would, but I never catch a later train.At what time did you arrive at the station?At ten to eight. I bought a paper and waited for the train.And you didnt notice anything unusual?Of course not.I suggest, said the inspector, that you are not telling the truth. I suggest that you did not catch the 8 oclock train, but that you caught the 8.25 which would still get you to work on time. You see, on the morning of the murder, the 8 oclock train did not run at all. It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line.参考译文“在凶杀发生的时候，我正坐在8点钟开往伦敦的火车上。”那人说。“您总是赶这样早的火车？”探长问。“当然是的，”那人回答。“我必须在10点钟上班，我的雇主会证明我是按时到了那儿的。”“晚一点儿的车也能送您按时上班吗？”“我认为可以，但我从来不乘晚一点儿的车。”“您几点钟到的火车站？”“7点50分。我买了张报纸，等着车来。”“您没有注意到有什么异常情况发生吗？”“当然没有。”“我提醒您，”探长说，“您讲的不是实话。您乘的不是8点钟的火车，而是8点25分的，这次车同样能使您按时上班。您看，在凶杀发生的那天早晨，8点钟的那次车根本没有发。它在芬格林车站出了故障而被取消了。”【课文讲解】1、And you didnt notice anything unusual?这是一个陈述疑问句，如： Youre out of work?不定代词anything，something等被形容词修饰时，形容词必须跟在不定代词之后： This isnt anything important.
