otta为gotto之误；等等。9.Jaguar：美洲虎牌，英国生产的一种高级豪华型轿车。10.ain'tit?:ain't是isn't，aren't，amnot的俚语形式。此处是isn't的俚语。11.Aah!：公爵这时知道欧吉维来的目的所在，他不由自主地发出一声惊叹，以自我慰藉那已败露了的事情。12.itpaystocheck：pay在此表示beworthwhile(值得)的意思。全句意即itisworthwhiletocheck或itisworthchecking。又如：Itwillpaytoreadthatbook．读读那本书是值得的。Itpaystothinkbeforeyouspeak．应三思而后行。13.Movingwithsurprising.．．inspectingthespacebehindthem；句中的Movingwithsurprisingspeed为分词短语，作时间状语，修饰谓语walked…，并列分词短语openingdoorsandinspecting．”作伴随状语，对谓语作补充说明。14.Nowthen：语气词，用于引起注意，表示警告、抗议等。15.Youtwowasinthehit-’n-run：此句为Youtwoareguiltyofthathit-and-runaccident的俗语表现形式。Hit-and-ruff是“撞了就跑”的意思。这种由and连接的两个动词构成的复合词在口语中比较常见，也比较随意。如：speak-and-go(说了就走)，say-and-do(说了就干)，beat-and-run(打了就跑)，等等。16.Thisisforreal:forreal是俚语，意为real或really。这句的意思是“我不是开玩笑的，这是件很严肃的事”。17.There'sbeenplentyonradio，too：此句是“Therehavebeenalotofreportsabouttheaccidentontheradio，too”的不规范形式。欧吉维是一个粗俗的家伙，要么出口不雅，要么语句不规范。本文中类似现象很多，应引起读者注意。18.Twohighpointsofcolor：泛起两团红晕。公爵夫人此时感到不安，而且有点害怕，但她还是假装气愤的样子。19.cutitout：俗语，意思是stopwhatshewassayingdoing(住嘴，住手)。此处是“住嘴”的意思，即欧吉维要公爵夫妇不要假装自己是无罪的。20.Thewordsspatforth：按语法规则，此句应该是Thewordswerespatforth或Ogilviespatoutthewords。作者在这儿让thewords紧跟在他所说的内容后，可能是为了使其更富有戏剧性，更惹人注目，所以没有用hespatoutthewords。而且thewordsspatforth比thewordswerespatforth也更有力，更鲜明。21，yourhigh-an'-mightiness：对公爵或公爵夫人的正确称呼应是：YourGrace(阁下)。这里欧吉维故意模仿对亲王的称呼：YourHighness(殿下)，是想以此嘲讽她那不可一世的傲慢神态。22.Whentheyfindwhodone.．.orwhethertheygotfancytitlesneither：复合句。时间状语从句When…包含两个宾语从句，即whodonethat…和whokilled…，主句的主语有两个谓语，即’llthrowthebookandnevermind，第二个谓语mind带有两个宾语从句，即who…orwhetherthey…。句中的done的规范说法应该是did；an’是and的缩略式；neither在此处是口语形式，等于either。throwthebook是个习语，其中thebook在这里指“法律条文”，是隐喻；whoithits中的it指thebook。23.IfIdowhatbyrights…you'llhardlysee'em；这一句可解释为：IfIdOwhatIshoulddoinjustice(thatis，toreportwhatIknowtopoliceheadquarters)，agroupofpolicemenwillcomeoverhereveryfast，sofastthatyouwouldn'tbeabletoseethemmoving．24.So's：等于soas或sothat；此处等于sothat，引出目的从句，即sothatyou.．．25.It'snogo，oldgirl．Itwasagoodtry：此句可解释为：It'snouse．Whatyoudidjustnowwasagoodattemptattryingtosavethesituation．这里nogood是俗语，意思是“不可能的”，“没有用的”，“无益的”；oldgirl是对某人妻子的一种非正常的称呼，可译为“老太太”、“老太婆”等。26．“Nowwe'regettingsomewhere．”：本句的字面意思是：现在我们正到达某处，现在我们有点门路了。这儿可解释为；Nowwe'remakingsomeprogress，accomplishingsomething．(现在我们总算谈到一块儿来了。)27．Thehousedetectivetookhistime.．.asifchallengingherobjection：简单句。Thehousedetectivetookhistime是主谓语，leisurelyputtingacloud…和hiseyes…分别为分词短语和独立主格结构，作伴随状语。asif引导方式状语从句(省去了heis)，可解释为asifhewantedtoseeiftheDuchessdaredtoobjecttohissmoking。28.Lindy'sPlace：一个赌博场所，即林迪赌场。29.IrishBayou：爱尔兰牛轭湖。Bayou是个法语词，因为新奥尔良曾经是法国的殖民地，所以那儿有很多地方曾是用法语命名的.30.Leastways，Iguessyou'llcallherthatifyou'renottoofussy：此句的含意为：Iguessifyouarenottooparticularaboutwhatwordstouse，atleastyou'dcallheryourladyfriend．(我想如果您不过分挑字眼的话，至少会称呼她为您的情妇。)ladyfriend直译为“女友”，在这儿是“情妇”的委婉说法。欧吉维在这儿有意地激怒公爵。显然公爵不是同一个朋友去赌场的，而是同一个情妇一起去的。··31.thewayIhearit：theway起连词的作用，表示方式，意即as，accordingas(如同，依．．．．..看来)。又如：Hedoesnotbotherabouttriflestheway(=as)hisbrotherdoes．他不像他哥哥常为琐事而奔忙。Theway(＝Accordingas)youwork，youmustbeamastercarpenter．看你干活的样子，你一定是个技术熟练的木匠师傅。32，Thereain'tmuch，outOftheway，whichpeoplewhostayinthishoteldo，Idon'tgettohearabout：双重否定句。其含意为：旅馆的人所干的不平常事，没有我不知道的。也就是说，旅馆的人所干的不平常事，我都会知道的。全句可解释为：Ifanybodywhostaysinthishoteldoesanythingwrong，improperorunusua1，Ialwaysgettoknowaboutit．Thereisn'tmuchthatcanescapeme．Outoftheway是一个习语，意为improper，wrong，unusual(不合适的，错误的，不平常的)。在句中作后置定语，修饰其前的much。33，Youan’yourwife…ifshe'dhavedrove：这一句的规范说法应该是：Whenyouandyourwifetookoff(=leftfor)home，youweredriving，thoughtheway(＝accordingas)thingsturnedout(that)itmighthavebeenbetterifshehaddriven．34.Thenyoudon'tknow：公爵夫人认为是欧吉维的猜测，他没有真正掌握他们的证据，她认为他根本不可能拿到他们的证据。35，Better1ethimfinish：省略句。完整的句子应该是:You'dbetter1ethimfinish．36．Lookedrightshaken，too，thepairofyou：倒装句。Lookedrightshaken提前，以强调谓语，thepairofyou为主语。正常的语序应该是；Thepairofyoulookedrightshaken，too．37.thewordwasout：意即thenewsabouttheaccidentwasspreadingaround．(事故的消息传开了。)38.Onahunch：等于AsIhadahunch，可解释为AsIsuspectedandfelttherewassomethingwrong39，look-see：查看(aquicklookorinspection)。

40.Youmighthavesomethingthere；意即Theremightbeapointinwhatyousay．(那可不一定。)41.Awhat?:片断疑问句，一种口语表现形式，用以表示对他人的话没听清楚或者听而不明而提出的简略反问。42.Ain'tanydoubt；属Thereisn'tanydoubt的俗语形式。43.LikeIsaid，Icometohearyoursideofit：like在这儿等于连词as(如同)。全句意为：AsIhavejustsaid，Icometohearyourideaabouttheaccident.44.squarehisshoulders：注意此处的隐喻修辞手法。square

one'sshoulder习语本表示“挺直地站立(或坐)”的意思，这里比喻为“正视恶果”、“正视问题”(facetheconsequence).45.Rushinganyplaceain'tgonnabringbackthekidnoritsmotherneither：不合语法的句子。合乎语法要求的句子应该是：Rushingtoanyplace(topoliceheadquarters)isn'tgoingtomakethekidanditsmothercometolifeagain．注意这儿的否定形式，表明欧吉维是未受过教育的粗俗的人。46.whatthey'ddotoyouacrossattheheadquarters，Duke，youwouldn'tlike：宾语从句提前，起强调的作用。正常的语序应该是Duke，youwouldn'tlikewhatthey'ddotoyou.．．47.“You'dacceptmoneytokeepsilentaboutwhatyouknow?”；陈述疑问句，即用陈述句的语序，句末用问号的句子，朗读时句尾要用升调。这种疑问句在口语中用得很广。本课也多处出现，如："Youmeanoutofthestate?”“Thatwouldn'tbeeasy?”48.Nottoit；可看作是(butyouwere)notgoingto的省略形式.it指town。49.NewOrleans；新奥尔良，美国路易斯安那州最大的城市，全国第二大港口(以对外贸易额计)，医疗、工业、教育的中心和旅游胜地。50.theoutsidetowns：大城市周围的一些小城镇。这儿的outside指NewOrleans.outlyingtowns的说法更普遍。

51.Howlongbeforetheydo?：是“Howlongisitbeforetheyd0?”的省略句。52.An’ifyoucangetitaway：省略句。it指thecar。全句可解释为：Andifyoucangetthecaraway，youmightnotbesuspectedatall．(要是你们把车子弄走的话，就可能根本不会有嫌疑的。)53.louisiana；路易斯安那，美国中南部之一州。北接阿肯色州，西接得克萨斯州，东接密西西比州，南临墨西哥湾。面积125
