The fourth step: some difficult points in our text:

1)When my aunt was buried,Clare turned up at the service ,and afterwards stayed for tea while the family’s lawyer explained how my aunt’money was to be divided up.

1.turn up :to arrive or be found,often unexpectedly( 到来，出现，找到 )

Eg:1.Guess who turned up at Mary’s wedding.

你丢失的那本书总有一天会找到的。

The book you have lost will turn up someday.

turn in ;turn out;turn down;turn up;turn on;turn off;turn round;turn over;turn to; turn against ;turn away;turn back and so on.

2.service: 指宗教的礼拜仪式，这里指葬礼（ burial service ） . 其它的还有早礼拜： morning service, 晚礼拜： evenin

g service. 3.divide up: 分配Eg:It is really difficult to divide up these few flats among so many people.

2)And Clare said ,“Did they use to go out a lot together,you know,for meals and to concerts and the cinema?”

Used to ( 过去常常 ) 的疑问式与否定式的构成通常有三种结构：1. 在正式文体中， used to 可以用做情态动词，因此，在构成疑问式或否定式时可以直接用 used to

eg:I used to play football at school.( 肯定式 )

Used you to play foot at school?( 疑问式 )

I usedn’t to play football at school.( 否定式 )

2 ．在非正式文体中，特别是在美国英语中， used to 常被当作实义动词用。因此，在构成疑问式和否定式时要借助于助动词 did ，后面跟实义动词的原形 use. 也就是说，疑问式用 Did….use to …?

否定式用… didn’t use to 结构。

Eg: Did you use to play football at school ? I didn’t use to play football at school .

3. 有时，疑问式用 Did…used to…?, 否定式用… didn’t used to…结构。这种有人认为是不正规的，但是在美国中却屡见不鲜。

Eg:Did you used to play football at school? I didn’t used to play football at school.

3)Maybe there are some things among your aunt’s papers,like Clare school reports,old photographs,and so on.

Papers: 文件，证件，是可数名词，可有单数和复数形式。You’ll have to show your papers at the gate.

这份文件必须签字才能生效。 The paper should be signed before it becomes effective.

此外，还可做“报纸，论文，试卷”解，可以有复数形式今天早上的报纸上有什么消息？

What news is there in the papers this morning?All the examination papers should be handed out before Friday.

但作“纸张”解是不可数名词，如果需要表示数量，则应当使用表示“量”的用语（ a piece/sheet of paper;three pieces/shee

ts of paper ）

4 ）… so Clare would have been five years old… 因此，克莱尔想必已经五岁了。would+have+-ed 形式用于委婉陈述自己的看法。表示猜测，作“想必已经是… ..”

Eg.I thought you would have finished this by now.我想你现在大概已完成着件事了。

杰克于 1988 年去法国的，因此，他想必结婚已经十年了。Jack went to France in 1988,so he would have been married fo

r over ten years.

另外， would+v.“ 作想必是……“eg. The person you mentioned would be Della.is that right?

你提到的那个人想必是德拉。对吗？

他是哪一年参军的？ ---- 我想大概是 1983 年。In which year did he join the army?-----It would be 1983,I think.
