福师13春《高级英语阅读（二）》第二章 测试二复习资料课文内容概要
Twenty Joke Menthols, Please
1. I suspect that I am not the only man （不是唯一这样想的人，意思是许多人像我这样） who, every time he buys a packet of cigarettes, thinks of it … as the last one. （lines 1-2）
2. I live permanently in the middle of a three-week period when（相当于during which）things are a bit hectic; they\`ve been a bit hectic for ten days, and I should have gone through the worst of it in another ten days. （lines 2-4）
分号后面的句子是解释前一句的,说明我如何处于一个三星期的混乱状态的中间时段。
3. Indeed by the time I have got through this very packet, I shall be within sight of easier times… I shall be real（ 这里的意思是，我现在的情况是反常的，是不真实的，三周之后我就是真实的自我了）, a holy content （这可以说是香烟的反义词）will suffuse me. I simply shan\`t want to smoke any more. （lines 5-8）
4. So it is quite a pleasant feeling, buying this last packet.（line 9）这里的 it 指代的是后面的动名词短语 buying this last packet
5. In fact, I suffer from a mild delusion that（引导同位语从句）I am giving up smoking all the time：（line 13）
参考译文：事实上，我为一种轻度的幻觉所困扰，认为自己始终在戒烟。
这就是为什么后面在第21行和第37行出现 \`my non-smoking\` 和 \`the distracted moments of the non-smoker\` 这样的词组的原因。作者在幻觉中认为自己已经戒烟了。
6. And as with other and more violent delusions, long habituation has enabled me to live a perfectly happy, indeed a rather snug life with two perfectly opposite outlooks （lines 13-15）
参考译文：而且，正如其它更加严重的幻觉所造成的情况那样，长期的习惯使我能够同时持有两种截然相反的观点而轻松自得地生活着。
7. In a way I can quite see what it （it 是形式主语， 指代不定式短语 to think that）is like to think, with one part of one\`s mind, that one is a poached egg, while with another part one does things that（后面是定语从句） /one knows/ no poached egg could attempt, such as playing the piano or getting on a bus. （lines 15-18）
8. And, just as（正如）there must be sudden terrible moments when one stands right outside the whole thing, when one realizes that this whole poached-egg business must cease, so（也）do I experience sudden cold blasts of reality about my non-smoking. （lines 18-21）
参考译文：正如那个从整个事情中抽身而出的突如其来的可怕时刻必然会到来一样，当我认识到这整个扮演煮熟的鸡蛋的事情必须结束时，我也同样要经受我的所谓戒烟的虚幻现实突然破灭带来的令人战栗的震撼。
9. For instance, I have just been shaken by the extraordinary, the idiotic number and variety of articles in the drawer where I keep all my non-smoking devices and subterfuges…（lines 22-4）
This is an example of experiencing \`sudden cold blasts of reality about my non-smoking\`.
The fact that I\`ve tried in vain so many non-smoking devices suddenly makes me aware that I\`ve failed to give up smoking.
10. It was really the addition to them, this week, of my latest failure, a useless little cigarette-rolling machine, which somehow transformed this drawerful into a significant and crazy museum collection.（lines 26-8）
这是强调句型，强调的是作为主语的 the addition of my latest failure.
注意动词 transform A into B 的句型。
11. I spent hours poking in them with peculiar instruments, one of which is incised with the words（2）Pipe Reamer（在原文的排版中这个词组是跨行的）, and I see that in one of the distracted moments of the non-smoker （在我神智错乱地以为自己是非吸烟者的某一刻）I have scratched another letter so that it now says Pipe Dreamer. （D + Reamer = Dreamer）（lines 35-8）
12. It looks like dried lavender（干燥的熏衣草）and pounded bird\`s nests（被捣碎的鸟巢）, and when（it is）first lit（这是 light 的过去分词）causes a thin cracking flame to rise from the pipe.（lines 41-2）
这个句子有两个并列的谓语动词。
13. Also bad for the tongue is（5）The Joke Menthol Cigarette （在原文的排版中这个句子是跨行的） since the air hole in the celluloid thing（过滤嘴） holding（分词短语作定语）the crystals lets them escape into my mouth. I don\`t think one should eat menthol.（lines 47-9）
这个句子有助于解释题目。\`Twenty joke menthols, please\` 是对营业员说的一句话，而香烟的名称调侃地借用这种戒烟用的烟名。
14. … like a tiny pillow with all the stuffing （枕芯填充物）pushed out of the middle （lines 53-4）
15. All have loose ends(松散的端头）, all come unstuck（作表语，意思是散开） on my lips.
