◆语篇导读

在现实生活中，人与人相处的时候难免会产生一些误会。误会常常会给别人带来不快，甚至造成伤害。所以我们遇到问题时一定要了解情况后再下结论，以防误解他人。本文中的小伙子就是由于捡到钱包而被一位女士所误解。面对这种情况，这个小伙子是怎么做的呢？一起来聆听这个故事吧！

One day，a young man saw a wallet on the ground while walking along a road.He picked it up and noticed that it was empty.Suddenly a young woman with a policeman came and the policeman took the man to the police station.The woman kept on asking where he hid her money but the man replied，“It was empty when I found it，Madam.”The woman shouted at him，“Give it back.It’s for my son’s school fees（学费）.”

The man noticed that the woman really felt sad.And he could also see that she was a single mother.So he decided to help her.He handed all his

money to her and said，“Take the money back.Sorry for my wrong doing.”The woman put the money in her pocket and left the police station angrily.Then the policeman went on questioning the young man.

The woman began to count the money as soon as she got home.To her surprise，she found it was doubled！ She was in a confused（迷惑）state of mind，so she hurried to the police station.On hearing what the woman said，the policeman said to her，“The man didn’t return your money，but gave all his money to you just now.He wasn’t the thief.He felt very sad when he heard that you had your son’s school fees stolen.He just wanted to help you by giving you all his money.”

When she heard the policeman’s words，the woman felt very sorry for her wrong doing to the young man.She didn’t know how to apologize and say thanks to him.

We may sometimes make wrong judgments when we are in anger，but we can never let the kind people feel cold！

◆典句赏析

1.One day，a young man saw a wallet on the ground while walking along a road.有一天，当一个年轻人沿着路行走时，他看到地上有个钱包。

while walking along a road为“从属连词+现在分词短语”结构，用作时间状语，相当于从句：while he was walking along a road。使用while的这种结构时，现在分词短语的逻辑主语必须与前面句子的主语保持一致，并且现在分词应该是延续性动词。

2.He felt very sad when he heard that you had your son’s school fees stolen.当他听说你儿子的学费被偷了时，他感到很难过。

这是主从复合句，when引导的是时间状语从句；had your son’s school fees stolen属have sth.done结构，意为“遭遇（蒙受）某事”。另外，have sth.done也可表示“叫别人把某事做了”。

3.We may sometimes make wrong judgments when we are in anger，but we can never let the kind people feel cold！当我们生气时，我们有时可能会做出错误的判断，但我们决不能让好心人感到心寒！

the kind people feel cold是let的复合宾语，the kind people是宾语，feel cold是省略了to的动词不定式作宾语补足语；when是连词，引导时间状语从句；but用作并列连词，意为“但是；然而”等，连接两个并列分句，表示转折意义。
