# Lesson 68 Persistent 纠缠不休

## 一、课文原文

I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

'Hello, Nigel,' I said. 'Fancy meeting you here!'

'Hi, Elizabeth,' Nigel answered. 'I was just wondering how to spend the morning——until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you?'

'No, not at all,' I answered. 'I'm going to…'

'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.

'Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.'

'Then I'll come with you,' he answered. 'There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!'

## 三、语法知识点

### 1. 动名词作宾语

> I crossed the street **to avoid meeting** him.
> I never **enjoy meeting** Nigel Dykes.
> He always **insists on coming** with you.
> **Fancy meeting** you here!
> **Would you mind my coming** with you?

- 以上动词/短语后只接动名词（-ing形式）
- 不能接不定式

| 只接动名词的动词 | 例句 |
|---|---|
| avoid | I avoid meeting him. |
| enjoy | I enjoy reading. |
| mind | Would you mind closing the door? |
| finish | I finished writing the letter. |
| fancy | Fancy meeting you! |
| suggest | I suggest going home. |

### 2. It is no use + 动名词

> **It was no use pretending** that I had not seen him.

- 结构：It is no use + doing
- 意为"做某事是没有用的"
- it 是形式主语，动名词短语是真正的主语

| 结构 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| It is no use doing | 做……没用 | It is no use crying. |
| There is no use doing | 做……没用 | There is no use arguing. |

### 3. No matter 引导让步状语从句

> **No matter how busy you are**, he always insists on coming with you.

- no matter + 疑问词 = 无论……
- 引导让步状语从句

| 结构 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| no matter how | 无论怎样 | No matter how hard I try |
| no matter what | 无论什么 | No matter what you say |
| no matter where | 无论哪里 | No matter where you go |
| no matter when | 无论何时 | No matter when you come |

### 4. Would you mind + 动名词

> **Would you mind my coming** with you?

- 表示客气的请求
- my 是动名词 coming 的逻辑主语
- 回答：Not at all. / Of course not.

### 5. 反意疑问句

> You're not busy doing anything, **are you**?

- 前肯后否，前否后肯
- You are not busy → are you?

---

## 四、重点句型分析

### 1. 固定搭配

| 短语 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| **avoid doing** | 避免做 | to avoid meeting him |
| **It's no use doing** | 做……没用 | It was no use pretending |
| **no matter how** | 无论怎样 | No matter how busy you are |
| **insist on doing** | 坚持做 | insists on coming with you |
| **prevent...from doing** | 阻止做 | preventing him from following me |
| **Fancy doing** | 想不到做 | Fancy meeting you here! |
| **Would you mind doing** | 介意做 | Would you mind my coming? |
| **plenty to read** | 很多可读的 | There's always plenty to read |

### 2. Fancy + doing 表示惊奇

> **Fancy meeting** you here!

- fancy + 动名词 = 想不到……
- 表示对某事感到惊奇
- 是口语中的常用表达

## 五、课文翻译

我穿过马路以便避开他，但他看到了我，朝我跑过来。假装没看见他也没用，所以我向他挥了挥手。我从来就不愿意见到奈杰尔·戴克斯。他从来就没有事做。不管你有多忙，他总是坚持要跟你一起去。我得想个办法不让他整个上午缠着我。

"你好，奈杰尔，"我说，"想不到在这里碰见你！"

"你好，伊丽莎白，"奈杰尔回答说，"我正不知道该怎么打发这个上午呢——直到我看见你。你不忙，是吧？"

"不，一点也不忙，"我回答说，"我打算去……"

"我跟你一道去行吗？"他还没等我说完就问道。

"没关系，"我撒谎说，"但我去看牙医。"

"那我也跟你去，"他回答说，"候诊室里总有很多东西可读！"

## 六、语言点精讲

### 1. Elizabeth 的无奈
- 先穿过马路避开→失败
- 假装没看见→失败
- 说要去看牙医→Nigel也要跟去
- 无论如何都甩不掉——"Persistent"名副其实

### 2. "Fancy meeting you here!" 的虚伪
- 表面：想不到在这里碰到你！
- 实际：Elizabeth 根本不想见到 Nigel
- 但出于礼貌不得不这样说

### 3. "There's always plenty to read in the waiting room"
- Nigel 的逻辑：候诊室有很多杂志可读，所以我也去
- 厚脸皮的体现——无论什么借口都无法摆脱他
