Questions about Para. 1(1) What was the young man in our story getting ready to do?(2) What did he want from his father as a gift for him?(3) Could his father afford it?Notes of Para 1: A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. 一个年轻人即将从大学毕业。get ready to do sth.: to get prepared to do sth. 准备好做某事该词组在本句中用进行时态，表示“正准备”的意思，意指通过了所有课程，完成了学业。e.g. (1) Wed better get ready to leave. 我们最好准备出发吧。(2) The children are getting ready to go to school. 孩子们正准备去学校。graduate: vi. to complete education at a school or a university 毕业 e.g. (1) He graduated from Beijing University in 1998. 他1998年毕业于北京大学。(2) When did you graduate from Oxford? 你什么时候从牛津大学毕业的？graduate还可以作可数名词，意为“a person who has completed a university degree（大学）毕业生，研究生”Knowing his father could well afford it: 为现在分词短语作状语，表示原因，相当于Because he knew his father could well afford it。现在分词knowing后是个宾语从句his fathercould well afford it. 宾语从句中主语为his father，a faithful Christian是主语his father的同位语，who owned a prosperous business是定语从句，修饰名词Christian。e.g. Not knowing what to do, he phoned the police.（因为）不知道该怎么办，他给警察打了电话。a faithful Christian: 作father的同位语。faithful: a. having and keeping faith in one person, idea, belief, etc. 忠诚的，忠实的；如实的e.g. (1) One cannot be too faithful to ones duty. 对自己的职责无论怎样忠诚也不为过。 (2) It is a faithful report. 这是一个如实的报告。 faithful 的词根为名词faith，意为“feeling sure that you can trust someone or something 信任，信心；信仰”。e.g. (1) Have you any faith in what he says? 你相信他说的话吗？ (2) Do you have faith in Tim? 你相信蒂姆吗？ (3) Christians have faith in God. 基督教徒信仰上帝。 afford: vt. to be able to buy or pay for 买得起，负担得起e.g. (1) This sofa is expensive.

(5) What did he find in it?(6) How did he feel as he saw the gift?(7) What did he do then? Notes of Para 2:approach: vi./vt. to come near or nearer 靠近，接近e.g. (1) As summer approached, the weather became hotter. 随着夏天的临近，天气变得热些了。 (2) Silently the cat approached the rat. 猫静悄悄地逼近老鼠。approach还可用作名词，意为“movement nearer to sb./sth. in distance or time; a way of dealing with sb./sth. 接近；途径，入门；方式，方法”。注意，名词approach后常跟介词to。e.g. (1) The enemy ran away at our approach. 当我们靠近时，敌人逃走了。 (2) We must think of some new approaches to teaching languages. 我们必须想出一 些教授语言的新方式。await: vt. to wait for（人）等候，期待，（事件等）等待（处理）e.g. (1) I am awaiting your reply. 我正在等你的答复。(2) He is in prison awaiting trial. 他在狱中等待审判。注意：本词为及物动词，后面直接跟宾语。此外，await比wait for更为正式。purchase: vt. to buy买，购买e.g. (1) She purchased a new car last month. 她上个月买了一辆新车。(2) He purchased the house at a high price. 他以高价购买了那套房子。purchase作名词时，意为“an article that has been bought 购买的物品”。e.g. Please put my purchases on the truck. 请把我买的东西放到卡车上。that his father had purchased the car: that引导同位语从句，修饰signs。Curious, but somewhat disappointed: 为形容词短语，在句中作伴随状语，具有副词的功能。e.g. Helpless, we watched the house being burned before our eyes. 我们绝望地看着房子在眼前烧毁。curious: a. eager to know or learn 好奇的e.g. (1) When I mentioned his name, everyone was very curious. 当我提到他的名字时，大家都很好奇。(2) I feel nothing than curious. 我只不过好奇而已。curious后面常跟介词about，表示“对感到好奇”。angry and depressed也是形容词作状语的语法现象，表示原因。e.g. Overjoyed, he rushed out of the room. 他欣喜若狂地冲出了房间。depressed: a. low in spirits 抑郁的，沮丧的，意志消沉的 e.g. (1) She was depressed because of failing in the final exam. 她因期末考试不及格而沮丧。(2) You look depressed. 你看上去很抑郁。 depressed派生自及物动词depress。depress意为“to make someone feel sad and dull; to make less active 使沮丧，使消沉；按下，降低”。 e.g. (1) This grey weather depresses me. 这种阴沉的天气使我感到没精神。 (2) Some medicines depress the action of the heart. 有些药物会减弱心脏的功能。 storm: vi. to go with violent anger 气呼呼地疾走，闯，冲e.g. (1) She stormed out of the room. 她气呼呼地冲出了房间。(2) Why did the man storm out of the managers office? 那个男子为什么气呼呼地冲出了经理办公室？storm 也常作名词使用，意思为“暴风雨”。storm一词的运用，充分体现了儿子当年少不更事、浮躁的心态，也为后文儿子得知事情真相后的懊悔埋下伏笔。leaving the Bible: 为现在分词短语作结果状语Question About Para. 3(8) Did the young man come back to see his father after this incident?(9) Did the young man miss his father while he was away?
