Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another礼尚往来
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'

时间状语从句的使用方法
when引导时间状语从句时表示当……的时候， when既可以指时间段也可指时间点， 从句中既可用延续性动词又可用非延续性动词， 且动作既可和主句的动作同时发生又可在主句的动作之前或之后发生， 注意体会如下例句： I’ll call you when I get there. 我一到那里就给你打电话。// When the wind blows, all the doors rattle. 只要风一吹， 这门就吱嘎作响。// He stopped trying, when he might have succeeded next time. 他不再试了， 其实他可能下一次就成功。// When I came home my wife was cooking dinner. 我回家时， 妻子在做晚饭。
如果when引导的时间状语从句的主语与主句主语相同， 而从句的谓语又是be动词时， 那么从句中的主语和be可以省略； 当when引导的时间状语从句的主语与主句主语相同时， 往往还可以用when＋分词的形式替代该状语从句。例如： When (you are) in trouble, ask her for help. 当你遭遇麻烦的时候去向她求助。// When I came into the room(=When coming into the room), I found him lying there asleep. 当我进入房间的时候， 我发现他躺在那儿睡着了。
2.To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately.
To my surprise
to +one’s+情感名词是英语中一个十分有用的结构，主要表示某人由于某事的发生而唤起其内心的某种情感，通常译为令某人……的是使某人感到……的是。这类结构在学习时应弄清以下几个方面。
能用于该结构的名词非常有限，常见的有 admiration(羡慕), amazement(惊奇), amusement(娱乐), annoyance(烦恼), astonishment (惊奇), delight(欣喜), despair(绝望), disappointment(失望), embarrassment(难堪), happiness, horror(恐怖), joy(高兴), puzzlement(疑惑), regret(遗憾), relief(放心), satisfaction(满意), shame(羞愧), sorrow(悲伤), surprise(惊讶)等。如：
To my amazement, he arrived on time. 令我惊异的是，他居然准时赶到了。
To my great amusement his false beard fell off. 使我感到极其好笑的是，他的假胡子掉了下来。
To his annoyance, he discovered they hadn’t waited. 他发现他们没有等他而感到十分烦恼。
To his no small astonishment the woman began to laugh. 使他吃惊不小的是这个女人竟开始笑了起来。
To her embarrassment, she couldn’t remember his name. 令她感到困窘的是，她记不起他的名字了。
To my shame I never thanked him for his kindness. 我感到惭愧的是对他的好意我从未表示过感谢。
注：有时可将两个名词并列使用。如：
To her surprise and joy, she was awarded first prize. 使她又惊又喜的是，她获得了一等奖。
To her great disappointment and annoyance, she failed in the English examination again. 使她极为失望和苦恼的是，她的英语考试又没有及格。
