Lesson 29 Taxi!
Question：Does Captain Fawcett think any trip is too dangerous
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The taxi is a small Swiss aeroplane called a Pilatus Porter. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcetts first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.

Answer & Analysis
1．The‘taxi’is a small Swiss aeroplane called a‘Pilatus Porter’.
這輛“出租汽車”是一架小型瑞士飛機，叫“皮勒特斯·波特”號。
（1）taxi加引號是因為它不是一輛真正的出租汽車而是飛機。
（2）Swiss aeroplane是指瑞士生產的飛機。
（3） called a‘Pilatus Porter’是個過去分詞短語，作aeroplane的定語，在意思上和一個定語從句差不多，即which is called a‘Pilatus Porter’。一般說來，過去分詞短語作定語時要放在所修飾的名詞／代詞之后，而一個單獨的分詞作定語時則往往放在所修飾的名詞／代詞前面：
It can land on a ploughed field. 它可以在耕過的田里降落。
He landed in a deserted car park. 他降落在了一個廢棄的停車場上。
過去分詞ploughed和deserted都位于它們所修飾的名詞之前。
Grammar
2．The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field.
然而，最令人驚奇的是它能夠在任何地方降落：雪地上，水面上，甚至剛耕過的田里。
（1）表示轉折的連詞however可以位于句首、句末或句中，其意義不變。大多數情況下它位于句中，前后用逗號隔開。
（2）從句 that it can land anywhere在句子中起表語作用，是表語從句，that為引導詞，it代指this wonderful plane。
（3） on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field是 anywhere的同位語，舉例說明這架飛機可以在哪些地方降落。
Grammar
3．…Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places.
.……弗西特機長已經載送乘客到過許多不尋常的地方。
我們已經學過fly作為不及物動詞的用法，其意義為“飛”、“飛行”：
The aeroplane is flying over the river. 飛機正從河上飛過。
在本課中，fly為及物動詞，意思為“空運（乘客）”：
He has flown his car to France. 他已將他的汽車空運到法國。
一般過去時與現在完成時
對比這兩種時態時，我們一方面要注意它們的時間狀語的區別，另一方面要注意一般過去時往往強調動作本身，而現在完成時則表示始于過去并持續到現在的動作或表示過去不確定的時間發生過的并與現在有某種聯系的動作。
但介詞for和since引導的時間狀語通常與現在完成時連用，雖然for有時可以與一般過去時連用。
I painted the picture last month/five days ago.
我上個月／5天前畫的這幅畫。（一般過去時與具體時間連用）
Grammar
refuse與deny
當refuse作為及物／不及物動詞表示“拒絕接受”時，不可與deny混用：
I offered to pay him for his help but he refused（payment）.
他幫助了我，為此我提出要酬謝他，但是他拒絕接受（酬謝）。
但是，當refuse作為及物動詞表示“拒絕給予”、“拒絕要求”時，它與deny可以互相替換：
Captain Fawcett has just refused/denied a strange request from a businessman.
弗西特機長剛剛拒絕了一位商人的奇怪要求。
All those not holding tickets will be refused/denied entry.
無票者不得入內。
deny最常用的含義是“否認（指控、做過某事等）”，refuse則沒有這個意義：
The secretary denies that she has stolen the letter.
那秘書不承認她偷了那封信。
Vocabulary
bring，take與fetch
bring表示從某處將某物“帶來”；take表示“拿走”；fetch則表示去某地將某物“取來”，是個雙程的動作，（bring與take則表示單程的）：
If you're going to the kitchen, would you mind bringing me a glass of water please
如果你去廚房的話，請給我帶杯水來好嗎？
Did he bring you a gift last Sunday
上星期天他給你帶禮物了嗎？
Please fetch me a glass of water.
請幫我取一杯水來。
Take this glass of water to your father.
把這杯水拿給你父親。
Vocabulary
too與very
very與too都表示程度，very的意思是“非常”、“很”，too表示“太”、“過于”：
This bus is going very slowly.
這輛公共汽車走得非常慢。（very只描述狀況，不涉及后果）
This bus is going too slowly. I'll miss the train.
這輛公共汽車走得太慢了。我會趕不上火車的。（too表示“太……”以至于引起某種后果）
Tom's very clever.
湯姆很聰明。
Tom's too clever. He won't believe such a thing.
湯姆太聰明了，他不會相信這種事的。
