练习材料：

A public house which was recently bought by Mr. IanThompson is up for sale. Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it ishaunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard astrange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doorshad been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr.Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in themorning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which theghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagersmust have come in for a free drink, Mr. Thompson shook his head. The villagershave told him that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.

笔记：

1.知识点

（1）haunt v.神出鬼没

（2）A public house which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up for

sale. 伊恩·汤普森先生最近才买的一个小酒店现在又要卖出去。

   ①在英国英语中，public house指酒馆、酒店，口语中往往缩略为pub：

②up for sale表示“供出售”，up为形容词，含义为“已提出的”、“供……的”。

（3）.…they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.……即使他把小酒店白送人，他们也不要。

give away是个固定短语，其含义之一是“赠送”、“免费给予”：He gave all his books away to the library.他把他所有的书都赠给了图书馆。

练习感悟：

    动词过去式的结尾读音是t还是d，有时会混乱，随便读成d。
