Only in a sparsely-populated rural community is it possible to disregard it. 只有在人口稀少的农村里，才可能不顾及准时。 倒装：only引导介词短语，时间/条件状语放在句首，句子要部分倒装。 第一个it是一个形式主语，第二个是代词代punctuality In ordinary living there can be some tolerance of unpunctuality. 在平时的生活中，对不准时的行为可以给予一些宽容。 in ordinary living=in our daily life tolerance=the state to tolerate something terrible 不是某人所特有的而是一种普遍现象用there be句式 has everything coordinated and organized for the matter in hand 使一切都协调一致而且组织周密。 背诵这个表达方式。 Keep sb occupied 忙碌 But people are often reproached for unpunctuality when their only fault is cutting things fine. 但是有些人的过错仅仅是由于时间抠的太紧而迟到，常会受到指责。 Cut things fine 压钟点 Most people have been tucked away at home. 很多人都呆在家里。 It is hard for energetic, quick-minded people to waste time, so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment. 精力充沛、头脑灵敏的人是很少浪费时间的，因此他们在出发前常常会设法完成某项工作。 Do sth before doing 在什么之前把什么结束掉 Be tempted to do :特别想要做某事 Be eager/anxious/desperate to do Prefer to do Would like to do Would rather/sooner do Would prefer to do I can’t resist the temptation to buy the beautiful dress.我特别渴望买下这条漂亮的裙子。 (书面语)I ’m quite/particularly tempted to buy the beautiful dress.

Some friends of my family had this irritating habit. Nuisance=trial The only thing to do was ask them to come half an hour later than the other guests. Then they arrived just when we wanted them. 唯一的措施就是约请他们比别的客人晚半个小时，这样他们正好在我们要求的时间到达。 The only thing to do is help you in this way.我只能这样帮你了。 What I want you to do is help me. 如果当不定式做表语，主句结构当中也出现了不定式，坐表语的不定式to符号应该被略掉，以避免重复。 Although being early may mean wasting a little time, this will be less than if you miss the train and have to wait an hour or more for the next one. 尽管早到可能意味着浪费一点时间，但是比起你搭上车而不得不等一小时或更长一些时间来乘下一趟车所浪费的时间要少些。 Mean doing sth意味 注意less的翻译 And you avoid the frustration of arriving at the very moment when the train is drawing out of the station and being unable to get on it. 而且你避免了正好在火车离站时到达而不能上车的挫折。 Draw up:停车 Draw(pull) out of station:离战 When we get failures over and over again, we always get the frustration inside our heart.

Such an experience befell a certain young girl the first time she was traveling alone. 一个更难以忍受的情景是刚好及时来到站台，仍然眼巴巴看着火车开走而上不了车。某个年轻姑娘初次单独旅行时曾有过这样的经历。 In good time =on time Befall=sth bad happen to She entered the station twenty minutes before the train was due, since her parents had impressed upon her that it would be unforgivable to miss it and cause the friends with whom she was going to stay to make two journeys to meet her. 这个姑娘在列车进站前20分钟就进了站。因为她的父母叮嘱她说误了火车并迫使她去聚会的朋友跑两次去接她，这是不可原谅的。 Due:按计划而正常进行 The meeting is due to begin at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. 会议明天早上九点如期举行。 The train is due to set off at 3 pm.
