I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.'
| I was almost there | when a sarcastic voice below said, | 'I don't think | the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' |
| 时间状语主句 | 时间状语从句 | 否定前移 | 宾语从句（I think the windows don' t need cleaning at this time of the night.） |
| 否定前移：否定词 "don't"（不）被移到主语 "the windows"（窗户）之前，从而颠倒了句子的词序。这种结构强调了说话者的否定观点，即他们认为这个时间不需要清洁窗户。这是一个常见的应用，以强调说话者的态度或观点。 | |||
否定前移 在英文中通常会将从句里的否定前移到主句中，以达到“开门见山”的目的
- I think you're not wrong. → I don't think you're wrong. 我认为你不是错的。
- Last year he believed that the plan would not fail. → Last year he didn' t believe that the plan would fail. 去年他相信这个计划将不会失败。
I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
regret 常见搭配
| regret doing sth. 后悔做了…（对已发生的事情表示后悔） | regret to do sth. 遗憾…（对现在要发生的事表示抱歉） |
|---|---|
| I regretted saying it almost at once. | We regret to inform you that you needn’t come here next week. |
| remember/forget + to do sth. 指末来的动作 | remember/forget doing sth. 指过去的动作（已发生过） |
|
|
| stop to do sth. 指目的 | stop doing sth. 停下正在做的动作 |
| On the way to the station I stopped to buy a paper. | When he told us the story, we just couldn’t stop laughing. |
'Excuse my interrupting you. 祈使句(面对面默认主语为“你”)
Excuse + doing 动词excuse后面只能接doing
- 'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.
I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'
be busy doing sth. 忙于做某事：指某人正在进行一项活动或任务，没有空闲时间。
you mind coming = you mind you coming 主语一致(无需要逻辑主语)
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
my wife who opened the window 我那个打开了窗户的妻子(妻子的范围比较明确，这里应该使用非限制的定语从句?)
注：非限定性定语从句通常使用逗号与主句隔开，但并非必须。逗号的使用与语境和句子结构有关。在正式写作中，为了提高句子的清晰度和读者理解，通常建议在非限定性定语从句之前加上逗号。
注2：在《三册》第7课会学到接续性分句 （continuative clause）大概可以解释这是限定性、非限定性的问题（这里根本就不是正常的定语从句）。
