# Lesson 59 In or out? 进来还是出去？

## 一、课文原文

Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.

## 三、语法知识点

### 1. 被动语态与目的表达

#### so that 引导目的状语从句

> This time he was barking **so that** someone would let him out!

- so that = 为的是，以便
- 引导目的状语从句
- 从句中常使用 would/could/might

| 结构 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| so that + would/could | 以便 | He spoke slowly so that we could understand. |
| so...that... | 如此……以至于 | He spoke so slowly that we fell asleep. |

### 2. every time 作连词

> **Every time** he wanted to come into the garden he would bark...

- every time 在此处是连词，引导时间状语从句
- 意为"每当"
- 类似用法：each time, the moment, the instant

### 3. until 的用法

> He would bark **until** someone opened the gate.

- 肯定句 + until：动作持续到某个时间点
- He waited until I came. 他一直等到我来。

### 4. so...that...（that省略）

> Rex got **so** annoyed **(that)** we have not seen him since.

- so + adj./adv. + that从句
- that 在口语中可以省略
- since 在句末作副词，意为"从那以后"，与现在完成时连用

## 四、重点句型分析

## 五、课文翻译

我家的狗雷克斯过去常坐在大门外面叫。每当它想进花园时就会叫，直到有人来给它开门。因为邻居们抱怨狗叫的声音太吵，我丈夫花了好几个星期训练它用爪子按门闩让自己进来。雷克斯很快就成了开门的专家。然而，上周我去购物时，注意到它在花园里靠近大门的地方。这一次它在叫，是为了让有人让它出去！从那以后，它又养成了另一个坏习惯。它一从外面打开门进入花园，就等到门关上。然后它坐下叫唤，直到有人让它出去。之后它又立刻让自己进来，又开始叫。昨天我丈夫把门拆了，雷克斯气得再也不见了。

## 六、语言点精讲

### 1. 狗的"进进出出"循环
- 学会了开门进来 → 又要人开门出去 → 进来再叫 → 出去再进
- 形成了"进来-出去-进来-出去"的循环
- 非常幽默地表现了狗的"坏习惯"

### 2. "removed the gate" 的果断
- 丈夫实在无法忍受狗的进进出出
- 干脆把门拆了——彻底解决问题
- 但狗因此气走了——另一个意想不到的结果

### 3. "so annoyed we have not seen him since"
- 隐含幽默：狗也有"脾气"
- 竟然气得离家出走再也不回来

## 七、课后练习要点

### 1. 语法练习
- so that 目的状语从句 vs. so...that 结果状语从句
