9.   One April Fool’s day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. (P80)一个愚人节,有位英国记者宣称以后不会再有意大利式细面条可以吃了,因为意大利的农民已经停止种植生产细面条的植物了。
(1)there would be是there be的过去将来时,也可表示为“there was going to be”或“there were going to be”,意为“过去将有”。
知识拓展
过去将来时由“助动词would/should+动词原形”构成,表示从过去某个时间看将来要发生的动作或存在的状态,常运用于宾语从句中。
The students didn’t know where they would go tomorrow.
同学们不知道明天要去哪儿。
Nobody knew where he would go. 没人知道他要去哪里。
◎过去将来时也常可用“助动词was/were+going to+动词原形”表示。
She said that she was going to speak at the meeting.她说她要在大会上发言。
Li Ping said that she was going to visit her aunt in the town the next Sunday.
李萍说她下个星期日要去拜访住在城里的婶婶。

He didn’t say when he was coming here. 他没有说什么时候要来这里。
She told me that she was leaving for Shanghai next week.
她告诉我说她下周要动身去上海。
 (2)本句中的farmer意为“农夫、农场主、经营农业者”,主要指经营农场的人,主要用于英国、澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰、美国等,因为这些国家的农业以农场经营为主。
Are you a farmer? 你是个农民吗?
特别提示
peasant意为“农民”,常指非英语国家的雇农、佃农或自耕农。在我们国家,目前将“农民”都译为peasant。
What’s the old peasant saying to them? 那位老农在对他们说什么?

have been bought是现在完成时的被动语态,其构成为:has/have been+过去分词。
Man-made satellites have been sent up into space by many countries.
人造卫星已被许多国家发射到太空。
特别提示
现在完成时被动语态结构中有两个过去分词,其中has/have为助动词,因此其各种句型转换均应借助于has/have来完成。构成否定句时直接在 has/have后面加not,构成一般疑问句时将has/have提前。
Has this bridge been finished? 这座桥竣工了吗?
His homework hasn’t been finished.  他的家庭作业还没有写完。

She’s married to my brother. 她嫁给了我哥哥。
They’re saving up to get married. 他们储蓄准备结婚。
魔力纠错
他和我的一个朋友结了婚。
误:He was married with a friend of mine.
正:He was married to a friend of mine.
魔力解析

特别提示
marry是短暂性动词,当表示“结婚多长时间”时,要用be married。

= Lucy has been married to Robert for two years.
=It is two years since Lucy married Robert.
=Two years have passed since Lucy married Robert. 露茜和罗伯特结婚两年了。
知识拓展
